Business ‚Machines Athena was aware of the opportunities in the business world and was fascinated by the workings of the Comptometer, Marchant, Friden, Monroe, and Burroughs calculating machines. Therefore, she selected Business Machines as her career. Learning the typewriter's keyboard and practicing those endless adding drills in Room 218 kept her fingers busy. In her bookkeeping class, the debits and credits sometimes found themselves in the wrong columns and this proved to be disastrous. But keeping her goal in mind, Athena continued to strive for accuracy and skill. When she became a Junior, she discussed and solved many interesting cases in Business Law. She could always be seen at the Comptometer, with pencil in hand, asking Where does the decimal point go? Her typewriting skill became more useful when she transcribed from the Ediphone and Dictaphone machines. As the year ended, the prospect of becoming a Senior thrilled her. In Athena's last year she completed invoices on the big, big 7200. Many homeroom periods were extended after 8:45 as Mr. C. passed on much sound advice. When Athena went on her first interview, she was a confident, skilled, matured worker—an asset to the business world. (SPEER
