from year to year and we hope to maintain the present standard of efficiency. Our Accountancy Course in the Night Class is also proving very popular and a number of students are taking the Book- keeper's Examination held by the University. Students taking this course are required to enroll for three years. i The following students are those sitting for the C. A. Primary Examination this year: Janet Shea Marguerite Fraser Zelma Teed Clara Peterson Beth Ferguson Mary Merle Jean McRobb William Wolfe Evelyn Moore Ellis Bowes . Clifford Aney By the time this annual is published we shall no doubt see their names published-in the names of those successful. SHORTHAND DEPARTMENT ' The adoption of the Gregg System of Shorthand has been justified in the splendid results obtained during the past three years. Under the directions of Mr. Hodgkins, this department has made many records. Just as we go to press information has come to hand that 81 students have been awarded certificates by the Board of Examiners of Gregg Shorthand in New York. The standard set for these certificates is very high, and they are by no means easily won. Two students were awarded also gold rings by the Board of Examiners on account of the very high degree of excellence of their work. It is significant that a very small percentage of our graduates who are placed in positions fail to hold them. A number of students are showing particular aptitude for high speed and it is hoped that in the years to come the Collegiate will hold the Provincial record for Shorthand as it now does in Typewriting. We might add that the winners of the gold rings were Minnie Friedgut, Form 2 E, and Edna Spencer, Form 3 E. A list of certificate winners is given elsewhere. 68

Muriel Still, Ann Kreutzer, Zelma Teed, Lillian Thompson WINNERS OF PROFICIENCY MEDALS-1921-22 It has been the practice of the department to award a General Proficiency Medal to the outstanding student in each form. In awarding the medals consideration is given to the year's work, activities in all departments of the Collegiate, attitude to Work, attendance, punctuality and in fact all that goes to make an all- round student. First Form-Lilliam Thompson. Second Form-Zelma Teed. Third F orm-Hazel Blanchard. Special Form-Ann Kreutzer. It might be added that this is the second year in which Zelma Teed has won the medal. Muriel Still was awarded by the judges a special prize-a gold Eversharp pencil-as her percentage was a few decimal points below the winner of thc Special Form lVIedal. ' ACCOUNTANCY COURSE During the past three years the Commercial Department has sent up to the University of Saskatchewan to take the C. A. Primary Examination 35 students all of whom passed except one. This is a percentage of 97. This department of the work is growing 67

ANN KREUTZER TYPING DEPARTMENT h I One of the striking developments in the Commercial work has been that of the Typewriting Department. As shown else- where a large percentage of the students in both day and nigh-t classes have won silver and bronze medals as well as certificates for speed and accuracy. It is a tribute to this department that the Saskatchewan High School Championship is held by the Regina Collegiate Instituteg and it would appear that this record will take a lot of beating. Typewriting has been stimulated by the donation of two large silver cups, one known as the Underwood Cup presented by the United Typewriter Company, and the other known as the Demaray Cup presented by the local manager of the company. The first is open for graduates of the Collegiate and the other one is open to students in attendance. WINNERS OF SILVER CUPS IN TYPEWRITIN G The following students hold the Championship cups for the year 1923-24: Demarary Cup: Ann Kreutzer, Form 2 E5 speed 85. Underwood Cup: Frank Nerlinger, Form 3 E 5 speed 62. ' cc
