Bocak Shorthand COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial department offers an intensely valuable course as interesting as any which the high school provides. Subjects which are an aid to the students in the business world are taught fully and eiiiciently in this department. Six semesters of bookkeeping constitutes an important division ofthe Commercial department. If a student completes these six semesters, he is presented with a certificate. Four semesters of typewriting is another division of this department. If a student is able to type the re- quired number of words per minute, he receives a certificate showing that he has done so. The typewriting rooms may be visited any time during the day, and one is always certain to find them crowded with students, which shows the demand for this subject, as well as the other courses of the depart- ment.
