Mrs. Comstock looks pleased at the progress that Mary Beth Green is making in commerce class. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. Training young people for the future business world is the daily occupation of the commercial teachers of S.H.S. The first year of shorthand, taught by Mrs. Rita Comstock, and of typing, taught by Mr. Everett Brown and Mrs. Betty Ramey, is mainly devoted to the mastering of the characters in shorthand and of the key- board by touch in typing. Second year shorthand and typing, both instructed by Mrs. Comstock, has as its main objectives, gaining speed and dexterity. Also in this second year, there is an introduction to filing, using key-driven and rotary business machines, and a voice-writer. Filing, bookkeeping, business terminology and letter writ- ing, and business arithmetic are taught in bookkeeping by Mr. Brown, in business English by Mrs. Rainey, and in general business courses by Mr. Brown and Mr. James Davis. There is a chance for office experience for those girls who have shown interest and ability in the commercial field and who have free study sessions to work in the office of the school. The office staff receives assistance with report cards, admit slips, telephone messages, letters, and, in general, with whatever task is at hand.

Home Economics Girls Pour Tea For Teachers The S.H.S. home economics department teaches girls to be gracious hostesses and efficient home-makers. Stu- dents may choose among various foods and sewing courses, each of which specializes in a different domestic skill. Any girl who has had one semester of home economics and is willing to participate in club activities may qualify for membership in the Home Economics Club. The pur- pose of the club is to give girls an opportunity to work and leam more about homemaking. One of the yearly customs is the annual initiation of new members. They also plan and carry out the annual faculty Christmas tea. The members prepare the food in class and act as hostesses for this event. No group can exist without funds, therefore their money making project again this year was selling assorted chocolate creams.
