Ihe HAMILTONIAN 19 Joseph Phaneuf 1, Eleanor Thomp- son i, and Bertha Webb 1. OFFICE PRACTICE I T is the aim and purpose of this class to prepare its members for the business office. All the year we were instilled with the need for correct usage of gram- mar, punctuation, shorthand, and typewriting ability, speed, accuracy in all that was to be done. We had an opportunity to apply this knowledge in the extra work we were asked to do. Every week one of our girls was assigned to the office to assist Mr. Payne, and one girl was assigned the attendance slip every morning for a month. Among the many interesting studies made was that of editing. The knowl- edge gained was utilized in a major project, publishing “The Barker.” Wi h’n two weeks all of the material was ready for our “press.” Through the courtesy of the A. B. Dick Corn- pan v, we were able to use two colors on the cover of our magazine. The staff for this publication was as fol- lows : Editor-vn-Chief , Marguerite Bilodeau Assistant Editor, Florence Dunn ' nort Editor, Mary Sargent HiUiior Editor, M. Beers Prodoci ion Mgr., Evelyn Han sbury Circiilatiofi Mgr., Betty Cushman At the beginning of the third week, our paoer was distributed among the subscribers, and the proceeds col- lected and accounted for. The class wi ' l purchase with this fund a suit- able gift to give to the school.

COMMERCIAL NOTES Shorthand I. pHE members of the Shorthand I -L class were introduced to the art of speed writing last September, us- ing the J unio) ' Alanual. After cover- ing all the strokes, brief forms, and principles of writing, we received the Anniversary Manuals from the sec- ond-year class and started a review, studying new material which is not included in the Junior Manual. While building up this foundation of shorthand skill, we have been working for membership in the Order of Gregg Artists. So far, Millard Palm and Ruth Day are the only ones to achieve the 0. G. A. Membership Cei’tificates. The class has started transcribing shorthand notes on the typewriter, each pupil keeping a Sliorthand Transcription Record on which is recorded the noints he earns each week. Leading records for the first period are held by Viola Bailev, 52J 2 points ; Francis Cowdrey, 45 : and B. Bingle, 31. In the second scoring event, the leaders were the same, V. Bailey, 45 ; Betty Bingle, 31 ; F. Cowdrey and M. Perkins tying for third place with 27.
