MISS THELMA LESLIE RONALD McHENRY MRS. A. A. PRICE Typing Typing and Typing and Bookkeeping Shorthand Commercial Dept. Looks to Future Every objective of the Commercial Department points toward the future. A future equipped not only for office work—but for personal use as well. The student's knowledge of typing includes far more than merely knowing the location of the keys; it stresses the importance of a neat, well-written busi- ness letter with punctuation all important. Typing becomes valuable for future use in writing high school and college term papers and thesis. Miss Thelma Leslie directs students on the use of the typewriter. Bookkeeping is also a course with future outlook. It is stressed that bookkeeping is not a method--it is the teaching of principles with the hope that these principles can be applied to any method. Shorthand is an important course for any girl. This knowledge can be applied in the immediate fu- ture in office and secretarial fields; or in the distant future to supply the need for extra work. Mrs. A. A. Price shows that much practice is needed in shorthand. 28
