Similar also to the sounds of dancing feet, but with a more constant beat, the steady tapping of the typewriter keys declares the determination of the girls in Typing I to emerge successfully from the drudgery ofa,s,Cl,f,j,k,l,g. Different from dance melody, the moans and groans emerging from a bookkeeping class do resemble an opera of, 'iOh, l forgot to add the overhead!
