This makes the third fingernail I ' ve broken this week, frowns Mrs. McEwen, as she stresses problems of the typist. . . . and for those of you who plan on working slot machines, advises Mr. Hawkins, you ' ll have to get the technique. Students Prepared for World of Business Crumbled paper, broken pencil points, newly cut finger nail, the clatter of type writers, and waste baskets crammed to the brim—in a word—the Business Department. Scrambling through timed writings, taking frantic dictations, etching out hieroglyphics in a journal, and adding 2 2 by computer, were just a few of the many problems that confronted the business student as he desperately tried to keep up with the unlimited skill building courses offered him. Typing I, bookkeeping, V.O.T., shorthand, and I.C.T., were part of the varied courses of professional subjects offered to all the students in order that they be adequately prepared to meet the demands of the complex world of business. In accordance with the department ' s attempt to prepare the students for business, vocational office training and manual training were offered to interested students. In these programs the students attended regular morning classes at school and in the afternoon was responsible for working on a job, connected with his line of business study. Either directly on the job or in the classroom, the students involved in the business courses acquired a clearer perspective of their positions in the working world. 27
