The student librarians were girls who had shown an interest in library Work.

The object of the Business Club is to furnish some measure of vocational guidance to its members and to aid them to better understand the organization of the business World in which they will work and earn their live- lihood. At present the group includes junior and senior stenographic girls, but it is the plan to include students who have one credit in business, and who have the approval of the teacher in these subjects and of the executive com- mittee of the Club. At the meetings, members give reports based on special fields of interest, discuss job qualifications, both skill and personality: and present playlets CSkitsl showing some phase of office life. The office practice service was established to give students who are majoring in stenography an opportunity to Work under actual office condi- tion-sg to receive training in many business projects: to learn the opera- tion of the available machines, and to use files. The course also acts as a service department in which many practical tasks are performed for the teachers, the principal, and the school in general. The students in many in- stances act as secretaries to the teachers. 35
