Shorthand, Clerical Practice G Coye Emmons, Though academic knowledge is now stressed as the key to high-pay- ing and rewarding iobs, secretarial proficiency also provides excellent ca- reer opportunities. Operating under this thesis, the commercial department faculty has developed a comprehen- sive program of business education, in- cluding typing, shorthand, bookkeep- ing, general business practices, and ac- counting. With improved subject mat- ter and the help of new teaching aids, the teachers endeavor to equip the students with skills useful not only in professional work but also in private lite. cclclemic Knowledge L Mine don't balance, how about your's? Jimmy Jard, Cece Neef, Bill Keckley, Pattie Johnson learn howto budget money in bookkeeping. Merits of Diet, Dress, Decoration Imported Well, back to the mixmasterln Judy Weinman, like all homemaking students, eats what she cooks. acr- 72 A normal school day finds the hall of the green wing, where the home eco- nomics classes are held, filled with al- luring sounds and smells: sounds of sewing machines, scissors, mixmasters, eggbeaters, and earnest discussions: scents of meat loaf, corn, lemon pie, and sugar cookies. Behind the visible bustle lies careful planning of a curriculum which will induct in- terested girls into the secrets of domes- tic accomplishment. Not just elementary cooking and sewing, but the basics of interior decorating, nutrition, budget- ing, and sociological matters are cov- ered.
