PAGE FIFTEEN To Our Commercial Department The dedication of this book to our commercial instructor, Miss (Iriflin. naturally directs attention to that department of the high school. Although much of the work done is of a competitive nature and comparison with standard scales, it is not performed before cheering audiences. We take this opportunity of calling your attention to the excellence of our commercial course. The surest indication that the standards are higher than most schools maintain, is the fact that the courses are rated by the students as among the most difficult in the curriculum. In many schools the commercial work is considered the easy work. Each year sees pupils in these classes drop out because they are unable to keep up to the standard required, or else are unwilling to make the extra effort involved in doing the work that would he acceptable. When we compare the work done here with that done in other schools in the state, we find further cause for satisfaction. Each year our representatives make fine records and win many prizes in the contests conducted by the various typing companies, bookkeeping, and shorthand publishers. In the annual high school contests we have always won high honors in typing and shorthand. The final test of a vocational course is how does the product fare when graduated. For years the office help of the business men of our city has come from our high school commercial department. Some students have been employed in neighboring cities and others have gone to Milwaukee or Chicago. Those who have done good work here at school have invariably given satisfaction in their positions secured after graduation. In comparison with the average business college graduate, our graduates are usually superior in training and ability. The success of any high school department is mainly dependent on the teacher in charge. The product is an indication of the teacher's worth. Our commercial department has made a record which every Jeffersonian is proud of. It is a real testimonial to Miss (Iriffin and explains why we have chosen to dedicate this book to her. —The Staff.
