Wle have all enjoyed a very pleasant and successful year in typing class, under the guidance of our wonderful commercial teacher, Sister Muriel. Among our accomplishments this year we all subscribed to uThe Gregg Writerf' a monthly magazine for typists, stenographers, and secretaries. We all enjoyed this interesting magazine, and it proved to be a great help to us in typing speed, and accuracy. All the members of the typing class sent away specimens of their typing, as well as shorthand to 'LThe Gregg Writerf, and most of us received awards in the '4Order of Artistic Typistsf' and the 'f0rder of Gregg Artistsf' This was a great encouragement to us all. Two mem- bers of the class were fortunate enough to receive pins lbronzej for their fine speci- mens of work. Transcribing our shorthand notes on to the typewriter is now an everyday occurrence, and it really is enjoyable trying to get 'cmailable lettersf, Sister Muriel has given us many helpful hints and suggestions, and with all these things in our favor, we all hope that when we go out to a position, we will shine in our typing and secretarial work, and be a valuable addition to any office.

We have all enjoyed a very interesting and profitable year in History. as we have studied from the founding of our country. through the Civil War. right up to our present cultural and intellectual growth. ln the course of our History work this year, we have made maps, and have done much helpful outside reading. With the assistance of Sister Charlesetta. we have learned many different things of varied interest and received much help from her not found in our history book. Many of the students have read current hooks of the day dealing with historical eyveuts of the past war, and have related them in class. Through the use of referezge hooks at the lihrary. we have looked up the lives of many of our famous men in history. not only of past wars. hut also famous men in world war two. Studying the growth and de- velopment of our country, and how it achieved its place among other nations of the world has made up an altogether enioyahle and progressive course.
