Page 26 The Future Secretaries of Kokomo The noisest classroom in dear old KHS is none other than 1Z0rXe the typing room- where the students turn-over per day is near 300. 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.

Man irls Found Their Talents Parties! Fancy rolls! Vv'edding cakes! Vtleddingsl These are just a few of the subjects discussed and studied by the girls enrolled in the third-semester Foods class. This was offered in the spring semester by the Home Economics Department as an experiment to teach young homemakers how to meet and prepare for special occasions. The First two semesters of cooking are devoted to the foods and their nutrition. Some of the sixty girls who took this course prepared a luscious dinner in the sparkling clean kitchenettes, used the spotlessly white stoves and sinks, the washers and dryers, and even operated the dishwasher. Other subjects olifered in the Home Economics course are Sewing, Home Management, and Home Nursing. Headed by Mrs. Areille Over- ton, the Home Economies Department gives the girls interested in a well planned and managed home, the necessary knowledge and know-how. Ummm . . . Hungry? These lucky girls will soon be feasting on delicious hamburgers as they' learn their lesson in food preparation and presentation. Page 28
