Students Aim for Careers in Commercial World Typing classes prepare many pupils for jobs in business and industry. As pari of the commercial studies course, the shorthand class affords students a chance to prepare for future occupations. The punching of typewriter keys, the clicking of office machines, the buzzing of saws, and the rolling of the press are familiar sounds heard by the commercial and technical students preparing for future jobs.
