Typing is of course required for all Commercial students but is ottered by popular demand to any student who wishes to eliminate the hunt. peck, and erase system. Besides typing. other subjects required in the Coinmercial Course are general business. bookkeeping. shorthand, and otitice practice. Klany students, boys and girls alike, are found in the general business and bookkeeping classes. 'l'he object here is to learn to keep accounting books and other phases of the business organization. The shorthand classes are also filled to the brim with girls who want to learn the skill of speed writing. Finally, all these talents are combined into a course called otlice practice. Here the students apply everything that they have learned by participating in the daily routine of an office. The goal of the Commercial Department is to teach speed and ac- curacy in typing. bookkeeping, shorthand, and many other subjects related to our commercial world. to any student interested in a business CHTCCT. Many students labored long hours over the 50 typewriters used in the classrooms of 120 and 120A. They learned how to operate Underwoods, Royals, Remington-Rands, and Smith Coronas, and then occasionally they might have a chance to try the prized electric typewriter. joan Fredrick finds that the eighth period is an excellent opportunity to do some practice typing.
