Every year the Business and Professional Womenls Club awards twenty-five dollars to an outstanding commercial student. There are several qualities other than commercial ability upon which it is basedg these are: scholarship, self-control, personality, adapt- ability, initiative, attitude toward school, co- operation, and ability to follow directions. Betsy has all the qualifications necessary. Besides being able to make a typewriter go to town, she can compete with the best in shorthand or academic studies. Personality in its true sense is exemplified in her lovable person. G wid apaaimenz' The commercial department was successful beyond all expectations at Danville, Indiana, this year. The contest was held at Central Normal College on April 5. Our school was entered in six contests. Members of the various teams and the awards won were as follows: The first team in advanced shorthand was com- posed of Betsy Fleming, Arlene Lieland, and Imogene Moore, the team placed first and won a large plaque. Maxine Kennedy, Margaret Smith, and Alberna Stroup were entered as our second team in advanced short- hand, and they placed third. Imogene Moore, Maxine Kennedy, and Betsy Fleming won individual scholar- ships to C. N. C. of 545, 340, and 1535, respectively, The advanced typing teams, composed of Rogenia Baker, Ma-xine Kennedy, and Imogene Moore in first team and Ioanne Forsyth, Betsy Fleming, and Mar- garet Smith in the second team were not as success- ful, however, the first team placed fourteenth. Book- keeping contestants were Curtis Brown, Doris Cham-- bers, Bud Clark, Ralph Douglass, Marjorie Evans, and William Sandman. In business adjustability we were represented by Doris Chambers, Ralph Douglass, and William Sandman. Ralph Douglass won a 3540 scholarship for his efforts. The first team in beginning shorthand placed eighth. It was composed of Betty Ruth Morgan, Mildred Nickell, and Marilyn VVinkles. The second team in beginning shorthand was Avonelle Ander- son, Mary Ferleman, and Mary Rehme. The second team in beginning typing was the more fortunate of the two because it succeeded in placing fifth. Members of the team were Avonelle Anderson, Paul McClellan, and Louise Patterson. The first team did not place, Patricia Deitzer, Betty Ruth Morgan, and Floretta Wamsley were members. Approximately 700 schools from Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio competed in this same contest. Our school was awarded sixth prize, a beautiful little golden statuette, because of the many scholarships and awards we won. On April 12, the State Commercial Contest was held at hluncie, Indiana, on the Ball State Teachers College campus. Instead of taking the students in a school bus to Muncie as they did to Danville, Miss Ashby and Mr. Humphrey drove their private cars and were accompanied by Mr. Loper and Mr. Stuart, both of whom also drove their cars. Beginning shorthand placed first and was repre- sented by Betty Ruth Morgan, who received a second individual honor, Marilyn Winkles, who received the fourth individual honor, and Mildred Nickell. Avon- elle Anderson accompanied the team as an alternate. The advanced shorthand team which was com- posed of Betsy Fleming, Maxine Kennedy, and Imo- gene Moore, placed fourth. The team was accom- panied by Arlene Lieland as alternate. These two teams, even though they placed as high as they did, were unable to retain the shorthand cup won by last year's teams. It is necessary to win the cup three times in succession before a school can claim posses- sion of it. ' The beginning typing team consisted of Avonelle Anderson, Louise Patterson, Floretta Wamsley, and Betty Ruth Morgan as alternate. The advanced typ ing team consisted of Rogenia Baker, Betsy Fleming, Margaret Smith, and Maxine Kennedy as alternate. Neither of the two typing teams placed. Bookkeeping was represented by Doris Chambers, Bud Clark, Ralph Douglass, and Marjorie Evans as alternate. This team did not place either. In the State Commercial Contest, Shelbyville was not entered in business adjustability. All in all, we got our share, donlt you think?
