.. - Fenqer Courier ll TI-113 TWO-YEAR Gkmnmres The Typewriting Department is another branch of the Commercial Course which appeals to Fengerites. Too, the four year students often choose this as an elective, for in the Commercial Course are enrolled twenty-four members of the 4A class and seventy-four of the Two A Vocational. During sixteen periods of each day, three rooms thoroughly equipped are devoted to instruction in type- writing. As in the Accounting, much interest is shown in winning the awards for speed and accuracy offered by the different typewriter companies. During the lirst quarter of this semester thirty-four students proved that they had the ability to Write rapidly and accurately. One of these is Irene Lissock, who wrote forty-nine words a minute. Any special typing for the ofiice or for the teachers of any department of the school is done by eight advanced typists under the super- vision of Miss Millerg thereby these operators gain experience for their coming positions. Helen Mrensco and Catherine Ferber are secretaries to Mr. Hill. Helen Mulka and Stella Talalas render valuable assistance to the clerks in the office. T Ec HN ic AL DEPmv.TivrEN'1' A more technical subject in the Vocational Department is Household Arts. The spicy odors coming from 244 all hours in the day bear evidence that cooking is a popular activity in our school program. Besides the regular work, lunches and refreshments for parties have been special features of the work. Here, too, is the popular Sewing Department. This semester, in addition to the regular work, the advanced classes have planned the costumes for Martha An exhibit also was held, showing the Easter costumes of hats and dresses. For boys chiefly is our Mechanical Drawing Department. It opened this semester with the largest enrollment we have had, making it necessary to use both drawing rooms every period of the day. Room 150 is being used for tirst year students and Room 344 for those advanced in the work of machine and archi- tectural drawing. This semester the boys taking architectural drawing entered a competition held among the city high schools, to design a modern house. Probably the busiest place of the school building is the Print Shop. There is heard constantly the rumble and clank of the presses which produce the eight page weekly issue of the Fenger News. The Printing Department has done a great deal toward the betterment of the school, both socially and linancially, for besides the News it has made posters, invitations, programs, and color sketches. Ask the technical boys how they like the Wood Shop and Auto Shop and you will hear many expressions of approval. Mr. Van Scoyoc has divided the Wood shop work into four parts of five weeks each. During the first is cabinet making, followed by carpentry, pattern making, and wood turning. Ninety-six pupils have enrolled in the Auto Shop this semester. Here the boys are divided into two groups, the beginners meet in the morning and the advanced group meet in the afternoon. The beginning class has been working on theory and a few odd jobs, while the advanced students practiced outside. This in a few words is a summary of a vast lield of Fenger's activities Eiglztecn
