Business Ours is a business-minded world, and many stu- dents at M.H.S. are preparing to take their places in it. This is not an easy task, for the competition is keen, the requirements varied, and the individual demands great. A wide range of courses is the key, and M.H.S. has it; shorthand, typing, office practice, bookkeeping, introduction to business, business law, secretarial practice, business math, and business retailing are offered. In addition, the bookstore operated by business students under the direction of Mr. Prosser, pro- vides practical experience, serves the various de- partments by handling orders, and gives every stu- dent easy access to the most contemporary read- ing at reasonable prices. Future businessmen, sec- retaries, stenographers, and accountants are all molded here while other students acquire skills that will later prove invaluable in any field. i Frank Crowley Bookkeeping I. 2; Office Practice; Typing 2 Miss Katherine Ryan Shorthand I. 2; Business Law Mrs. Gray seems pleased at the rapid pace of her Typing I class during a timed writing test. 30
