 fesAVAMPER; Tht' (Cmummial Department 10 a stranger visiting Prescott High School during the first semester, it might seem that a lively dance or party was going on in the western rooms of the building. Else why those rythmical musical tones that penetrate even the closed doors? However, this part of the building is not a dance hall but the Commercial department, and the phonograph from whence the music comes, instead of giving purpose to lively feet, is marking time for busy fingers which are learning to march across the typewriter keys. Thus one gains his first introduction to the Commercial Department, one of the most valuable departments of the school. Here is taught not only typing, but also shorthand, bookkeeping, stenotypy and mimeographing, which courses are open not only to pupils of High School, but to any one else who wishes to take advantage of learning any of the above-mentioned branches. The equipment of the department is of the best. Besides the eighteen typewriters whose incessant click seldom ceases from eight-fifteen until three-thirty, there is the calculating machine, the electric bookkeeping machine, an adding machine, two mimeographs, to say nothing of the beau- tiful filing cabinet, and also the miniature bank in one corner. As the weeks and months of the school year go by, the slow, uncertain fingers on the typewriter keys quicken their speed and gain accuracy, and for this speed and accuracy commercial rewards are won from the Remington Typewriter Company. These awards consist of a primary certificate for writing an average of twenty-five words a minute for ten minutes, a card case for writing forty-five words a minute for ten minutes, a gold medal for fifty-five words a minute for ten minutes, in no case making more than five mistakes, and a portable Remington typewriter for writing sixty words a minute for ten minutes making no error whatever. Most all the members of the first year class have won their primary certi- ficates, and most of the second year, their card cases. Up to the time the annual goes to press gold medals have been won by Mary Louise Lofland, Annes Cain and Mary Stack. Besides a number of regular students, the following special students have taken advantage of the courses offered in the Commercial Department.
