THE CRIMSON AND WHITE

Our Commercial Department

While other activities have been busy, the Office Practice Class has also done its share of hard work.

Who are the fastest at taking dictation? Why, of course, Marcia Potter, Gloria Reindel, and Marie Bracken. Just watch their pencils fly sometime and see if they don't deserve being in the 120 Dictation Class.

Irma Wahlen, Neoma Kuhl, Mary Jane Nesbitt, Opal Thomas, Doris Wood, and Erma Anding are close behind with 100 Dictation. A little more practice and diligent study and there will be more than just three on the top round of the ladder.

Practically the entire class has passed the Theory Test, which, by the way, is more or less a little check up test to see how much of the manual they have retained in memory. The following are those who have their Theory Certificates: Erma Anding, Dorothy Armitage, Marie Bracken, Neoma Kuhl, Rosaly Stelter, Mary Jane Nesbitt, Marcia Potter, Gloria Reindel, Keryl Brunzell, Irma Wahlen, Helen Pagenkopf, Doris Wood, Genevieve Berrett, and Opal Thomas.

Have you noticed the little gold pin Edith Housley has been wearing? She received it as a reward for typing at a rate of sixty words a minute, for ten minutes with not more than five errors. Opal Thomas and Doris Wood are now sharing this honor with her.

Helen Pagenkopf, Edith Housley, Marcia Potter, Erma Anding, Gloria Reindel, Doris Wood, Rosaly Stelter and Opal Thomas have their fifty certificates.

The following were awarded with forty certificates: Edith Housley, Keryl Brunzell, Marcia Potter, Rosaly Stelter, Neoma Kuhl, Erma Anding, Vahla Klopf, Marie Bracken, Genevieve Berrett, Gloria Reindel, Doris Wood, Leona Walk, Opal Thomas, Helen Pagenkopf, Mary Jane Nesbitt, Dorothy Gault, and Dorothy Armitage.

Each person has been given an Achievement Record Book in which to paste all her certificates. Eight certificates are the most any one can obtain. No one has, as yet, received all of them, but the honors go to Marcia Potter, Gloria Reindel, Opel Thomas, and Doris Wood, each having seven.

The Office Practice Class has worked very hard for these awards and we are sure that they have earned every certificate they have.

Annual Artists Contest

Artistry is to typewriting what personality is to an individual; it puts life, character, and individuality into it. The object of this work in our typing course is the development of interest in higher typewriting skill, which combines the qualities of accuracy and speed with attractiveness. Any piece of work should be set up so as to make it pleasing to the eye. A stenographer may be very proficient in reading and writing shorthand, but if she does not have typewriting skill and ability she is of little practical value to the business man. The typing of artistic designs is one device for developing superior typing technique.

This year eight-eight Juniors typists took part in the Annual Cover Design Contest. It was a very difficult task to place these designs for each and every one represented a great deal of originality, time, thought, patience and labor. The committees finally decided to place the first ten, and in addition give ten Honorable Mentions.

First Group - Mitchell Whiterabbit, Janet North, Carl Dasso, DeWayne Nehs, Clifford Arndt, Lloyd Brunzell, Martin Zilisch, Joyce Horswill, Robert Dahnert, and Valda Munger.

Honorable Mention - Glenn Haines, Mildred Selves, Norene Savage, Violet Gluck, Herman Beilke, Vivian Drescher, Ina Jake, Lowell Huckstead, Elton Imig, and Ruby Whiterabbit.
