This is the Bookkeeping class of 1960-1961 with Miss Walters, the instruc tor. With the increase of positions in the business world, the Administration realized the need of the addition of commercial courses to the curriculum. In 1949 typing and short- hand were introduced, followed by bookkeeping in 1951-1952. Future bookkeepers, so essential in the business world of tomorrow, receive expert training in record keeping --assets, liabilities, income, expenses, payrolls, withholding taxes, and others --as well as in the operation of modern office machines. Students in Shorthand strive to become efficient stenographers. These Shorthand students, under the guidance of Miss Hubbard, are working hard to develop speed and accu- racy in taking dictation and transcribing.

Commencing as a small class with great goals, this class has now been developed into a moderately large class with great achievements, making it necessary to have typing scheduled at more than one period so that all of the students will have adequate equipment and guidance to further their typing skills. Through typing, many of the students have developed great potentialities to become business leaders in the future.
