The typing students practice their warm-up drills. Mr. James Skidmore: B.S.g Ferris Institute. Bookkeeping teacher and Echo sponsor. C0mmGl2CIAl Everything was fine the first semester in book- keeping. Everyone knew that the debit went on the side toward the windows. Second semester brought discisterf however, as someone re-arranged the room. Many tedious lab sessions were spent doing prac- tice sets, looking for errors, filing sales slips, looking for errors, figuring payrolls, looking for errors, etc. There were many who spent time after school look- ing for a lost debit or misplaced credit. Ed Chapple was the hottest student in typing - he sat next to the radiator. However, he was never excused from the daily warm ups. The big problem in typing seems to be this: if you have speed you lose accuracy, if you are accurate you have no speed. The speed test seems to have been devised to see how many errors one can make in the shortest possible time-at least it always turns out that way. Sue Kamradt, Bill Cole, and Ed Chapple watch Diana De Young operate the Friden Calculator. .1 Miss Sally Wanenmacher: A.B., Western Michigan University Teaches Typing and Stenography, also freshman class sponsor
