TYPING NOTES Clickety-click-clack is the sound you hear when you go by room 112. That is the roonrwhere the commercial students, under the supervision of Mrs. Tramill, the able and efficient in- structor, type away as if their lives depended upon it. Mrs. Tramill has five classes in typing: the home-making girls, the vocational cooking boys, and the A8, B9, and A9 classes. Naturally the A9 class is the best. Mrs. Tramill ought to be and is proud of this A9 class. Among the many students who have won awards for proficiency and accuracy in typewriting are: Annie Sonney, Erma Angelone, Sylvana Verdugo, Ethel VV in- stein, Lillie Graffia, Marion Breunle, and Viola McBride. The last two girls won awards last term. This term Viola ought to stand on her head and do a jig, for she won a bronze pin marked Expert Typist, the envy of every girl in the class. The Typing Club was discontinued this term on account of pupils not being able to take part in more than one school activ- ity. -Ethel W'instei1'z., A9.
