June 1937 The Petrolia Page 37 Typing Team Places Third In S t a t e Contest Inter class Typing Championship Won By Junior Group Entering her fifteenth year in a glorious blaze of laurels. Coal- ing again enlisted in the state- wide correspondence typing con- test on April 21. The sixty-three students, including ten ninth graders, did well that day and ful- filled Mr. (Jeer ' s plea for the best you have . Out of S2 schools entered in the state contest Coalinga came in third. Remarkably accurate records were made in the novice i first year) class. Kenneth Rhoads and Charles Petersen placed sixth and seventh with t) words per min- ute and one error. Wilma Sinnin- and Frames K r a f t (ninth grade) typed 41-1 and 40-1, re- spectively. For speed. June Pas- coe and Mary Alley came in sev- enth and eighth. In the amateur (second year) class, Leslie McKissick, Edith Macomber, Dorothy Montgomery and Tessie Hunter made 59-4, 56-2. 53-3 and 5»-3. respectively. There was a limited group of contestants in the unlimited (third yean class, but many good records were made. The best rec- ords were made by Louise Hal- low ay (80) and Evelyn Glenchur (76), who scored first and second place in speed. Although the students did not do so well as they had in the years before, they have nothing to fear from the contest returns yet to come. As Mr, Geer said. We may get the fifteenth place in a possible fifteen places and still feel no disgrace. for Coalinga ' s brilliant record will still shine. In the past fifteen county con- tests. Coalinga has won twelve victories, ten of these being con- secutive. She has driven under the Sacramento Valley Contest- ants for three years, and last year, in the first s ate-wide cor- respondence contest, she glided to the top place, surpassing six- ty-six schools all over California. What Miss Caroline Ames built as the foundation for these mar- velous victories has been carried on with equal success by Miss Mildred Elder. Coalinga may well be proud of this branch in com- mercial education.
