FUTURE BUSINESS TYPHOONS We Hope! agsldkfjh .... space. The tune is familiar so let's all join in-I mean all typists. In case you are a bit in the dusk, we are referring to that big depart- ment of commercial subjects coming to you from station MHS, through the courtesy of Miss Hos- tetler and Mr. Guthrie. This department is open to all students who de- sire to become bookkeepers, stenographers, or per- haps professional typists. Who knows, we may have one pinned under the mike now. The enrollment in our commercial department is large. The course offers two years of book- keeping or shorthand and two years of typing. The general opinion given of a commercial course is that it is the easiest course to take. This is an incorrect idea. The course is long and tough, as you might say, and DOI short and sweet. Students taking shorthand have a goal ahead of them-that of attaining a speed of 120 words a minute in taking dictation. Going this fast, a gum- chewer would be barred. Shorthand and gum don't mix. Miss Hostetler teaches the beginners in shorthand while Mr. Guthrie gives the finishing touches to those energetic enough to take a second year. The shorthand class of 1940 includes only girls. fDo our boys all expect to be Bosses? j First year typing classes are taught by Miss Hos- tetler who has a real technique with the begin- ners. She also teaches one of the second year typing classes while Mr. Guthrie teaches the other. The typing room in our school has thirty type- writers which are used by the students five days a week. -241

DISSECTION! INVESTIGATION! CREATION I xl EMBRYO - SCIENTISTS ' x 1 . In the Science department of this institution we have for greenies General Science which is just a general study of the wonders of the scientific world. But beware of what is to follow! Next comes the study of worms and stuff-Biology. The chosen few who want to absorb more scientific knowledge continue their course with the study of Physics. Some students who want to continue their Freshman Science course study f?j Senior Science in order to learn the correct number of calo- ries used in the effort to cook one fried egg. Chemistry is for those who are really ready to knuckle down and put their noses to the well-known grindstone. For a few people who have nothing else to do during certain Activities Periods and for those really interested in Science, we have the Science Club. By the way, we have a Photography club in this school, too, the You Take 'Em, We Make 'Em society. The latter organization is a very worthy one and the HI-POINT is very grateful to them for their fine work and cooperation while taking and developing the pictures for this publication. As for the geniuses who innstruct the Embryo-Einsteins in this department we have Mr. Pfrogner and Mr. Livengood. Mr. Livengood is also the advisor for the Science and Photography Clubs. 125T
