Machines, and Busy Hands Comprise Business Office Practice Course Success OUR NEW DEPARTMENT creates enthusiasm! The Business Department of Ft. Lauderdale High now has in full swing a realistic and practical course operating through the cooperation of the teachers of the various business subjects. Through the Office Practice-Machines Depart- ment, which has been in operation only one year, future office workers and secretaries-to-be are learning the use of simple mechanical devices which will help speed-up and educate them for their future duties. The ditto machine, which duplicates rapidly, is one of the biggest aids for our busy office staff. Everything from contracts to letters are “run off” on this marvelous device. Other machines, the stencil, tape recorder, and fundamental appliances of a P.A. system are also in use. “KEEP IT NICE and straight” remarks David Derthuch to Tom Tcidman as they “shave a few inches off a board. “Shop” is fun but educating.
