Art and commercial classes require developed skills The business world is no place for the untrained, St. Stephen students will readily assure you. Real- izing that future positions may very well depend on their skill in office work, many of them have enrolled in one or more of the commercial courses. The words “typing” and “shorthand” immediately bring to mind, the duties of a secretary. Of the various occupations, there are few with such diverse inter- pretations as this one. Some students may think of it in terms of a private secretary ' s job in a large corpora- tion, while others may see themselves as receptionists in the office of a doctor or dentist. But whatever their views, they can be assured of one fact - only those showing qualities of responsibility, accuracy, speed, and efficiency will be able to secure top positions in the professional and industrial fields. Art classes also offer opportunities to the stu- dent to prepare himself for future work in artistic fields. Whether he plans a career in commercial art, architectural drawing, or interior decoration, the art student finds it necessary to have a knowledge of color and design. These fundamentals are taught in the art classes, where the pupil soon realizes the extent of his artistic ability. Karl Teeple puts the finishing touches on his drawing of a Swiss guard to be used by the senior panel on the Ecumenical Council.
