Girls' Dance Students C'JBrincf typewriters THE ACCENTS of chattering typewriters and scratching pens issued from the top floor of A Wing as business students entered the unreal world of machines. SHORTHAND I and II students were positive they deserved a foreign language credit. They proudly regarded their progress from “see” to “responsibility” as they transcribed collection letters. TYPE I students pacified each other when they hit the hyphen instead of the tabulation key. In TYPE II and III, erasers were much in evidence when eager students plunged into manuscripts with carbons. OFFICE AUTOMATION made its debut at Provo High this year. Students tolerated erasing on a ditto, but they zealously attacked the stubborn dictaphones. Brief forms come in handy when Fairy Bell is forced to scribble faster and faster to get Mr. Tyndall’s dictation at eighty words a minute. “I can't read that outline.” Susan Higley panics as she attempts to transcribe her shorthand notes into something that makes sense. 17
