Vrvrdly do I recall my first lesson how clumsy I was and how my fingers rested on any key but the rlght one And my thumbs! They were srmply uncon trollable Not satxshed wlth their place on the space bar they mvarlably chose a comfortable posltron on the keys causmg me much worry and annoyance Was I to be prt1ed3 I thought so anyway and lt was only after many hours of earnest practice that I succeeded m placmg my fingers where they belonged and ln consolmg my thumbs wrth the fact that they needed a llttle rest and would have to be satlshed with the place asslgned them Now that those days have passed and that I have succeeded m attammg a falr rate of speed I look back wrth pleasant thoughts of them They were anxious days too especlally when sllence relgned supreme ln the typfewrltmg room awaltmg the second that ready go would be called and then the flymg typewrlters would be heard for fifteen consecutxve minutes Drd that trme seem long? Not at all so anxious were we to carry off a gold srlver or bronze pm And then the awful stlllness when time was called and oh how we stood almost breathless awaltmg the report of our papers A glorious tnumphl Another rn added to our number! Hearty good wrshes from companions and a word o encouragement from the teacher These are memories that I carry forth wrth me from my dear Alma Mater and I only hope that those prwrleged to spend many days wrthln rts hallowed walls wlll succeed ln wmnmg more awards than we drd and that the Redemp tonst Hugh will ever be the radlant star llsted among the many schools now famous for speed and accuracy rn typewrltmg LAVERNA KRINGS Commercxal l927 ,asf .I I -gl Il , LJ v - lsr, . y E4 g .
