Coordinates Learning, Job Experience Making final adjustments on an exhibit, Mrs. Gehring illustrates a method of arranging appealing displays to D. E. students Linda Johnson and Cyndi La Mar. Typing, shorthand, and regular office courses provided vocational training and modem business education for MHS pupils. Tape recorders and record players were used for additional dictation practice. Use of this method, al- lowed the student to attain speed in oral transcription at his own rate. Notetaking, a simplified form of shorthand, provided a valuable way of taking notes for college bound students. Pupils could avail themselves of the thermo-fax and mimeo- graph machines in general office procedure courses. An electric typewriter, one which simulated a key punch board, provided an opportunity for those who desired practice on newer types of machines. Distributive Education combined classroom work with on the job observation. Two hours of class time a day were spent in the practice of bookkeeping and related subjects. During the week, students took positions in various training stations throughout the community. Thus the relationship between school study and actual business situations could readily be seen. With the aid of the newly purchased Xerox machine, the Registrar was capable of processing school records and transcripts more rapidly. The device reproduced copies which would have been handwritten. 24
