The principles taught in our text book and by our instructor were put to the test in the laboratory. We found, as one would naturally expect, that the printed page and oral instruction came to life as a result of the experiments which we performed. We were quite interested in noting changes and came to realize that those which do not affect the composition of substances are called physical changes. Matters having to do with motion, heat, light, sound, electri¬ city, and magnetism, commanded our at¬ tention so much so that the ringing of the bell for the change of classes brought us too hastily out of the lab. ... AND OF PHYSICS Whether it was about electro magnets, levers, scales, spring balances, boilers or steam engines the physics class was always eager to learn of that science which treats of matter and energy. We feel that the knowledge which we have gained about mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, and the like will greatly enable us to und¬ erstand and appreciate the many advances made in their field. We did become con¬ fused at times, but we were soon set aright and left with a good understanding of many scientific phenomena. Even the fishes in the aquarium, that were really there for the Biology classes, seemed to stop their sportive play when our classes began. ... AND OF STENOGRAPHY Intensive drill is the secret for success in shorthand. Sometimes we did have quite a bit of difficulty in reading our out¬ lines . . . But what of that? . . . Many people wonder what they’ve written in longhand. Many persons also wonder just what the lines with the intricate twists and twirls really mean. So did we, and now that we’ve found out, we’re mighty glad that we took the course. Letters were dictated to us regularly by our instructors, to whom we later transcribed them. As Seniors our familiarity with phrases and the like made this possible. We should like to write “Good luck’’ to you in shorthand . . . but . . . ... AND OF TYPING. Were we glad when those days of mastering the keyboard with catchy finger drills passed! ... It seems that we didn’t have to count sheep going over the fence if we were bothered with insomnia ... We caught ourselves pounding a s f g h j k 1 over and over again until we pounded our head against the wall . . . But a sense of self-satisfaction was ours when as touch typists we could take the speed tests and pass them quite creditably. The valuable instruction which we also received about the mimeograph and adding machines, the Ediphone, and office filing system should greatly aid the many secretaries-to-be in our class. . . .
