rnef mm :mmm f SHDRTHAND A 1 Bec ause of the shortage of teachers, shorthand was taken by corre- spondence from Kansas University. Mrs. Ralph Morris was supervisor in handling material and giving dictation. At the beginning of the course the second year students were taking 60 words per minute. At the end of the first semester they doubled their speed by taking 120 words per minute. At the end of the first semester most of the first year students were taking shorthand at the rate of 40 words per minute. TYPING In spite of constant changes of instructors the typing classes have gone ahead in their work and have gained much valuable knowledge of this ever-useful subject. War-time shortages of typewriter servicemen and new parts have made typewriter maintenance a difficult jobg however, Mr. Sutcliff has man- aged to keep the greater number of the machines in good running condition. There are 17 students enrolled in typing I and 19 enrolled in typing II.

irnef mlmi mmm BUCIKEEPING The bookkeeping class is composed of twenty-one students, eight boys and thirteen girls. The class is instructed by Mr. Hampton. The purpose of the class is to learn the secret of keeping books neatly and accurately. Most of our Work is done in class so that each student may benefit more from it. MANUAL TRAINING The manual training class this year did not make cedar chests or many of the advanced projects because of the shortage of the finer woods. Instead, ladders, saw-horses, chicken feeders, and tool boxes were made, and many refinishing jobs were done by the class. Mr. Hampton held the freshman and sophomore classes together be- cause of his short time limit.
