During the past years East has set up an organization espe- cially for those students in the commercial arts, the Future Business Leaders of America. Teaching about good and bad businesses are the main points brought out by this group. The first year typists tried very hard to reach the goal of so many words. Legal documents, stencils, and business letters were the new and interesting typewritings that were enjoyed by the second year typists. 1..As . te. -- J rd the Future There were two years of stenography available for shorthand students. During the first year they learned the fundamentals of taking dictation and the shorthand vocabulary. Then in the advanced classes they translated their work after taking dic- tation from a record. Bookkeeping proved to be very exciting this past year. State-wide tests were given, and many stu- dents received silver pins, The highest student in each class received a gold pin. In this division they learned how to keep accurate accounts of business firms. Nellie M:Kannu Richard Benson Bernard Greene ,.. - ..
