New Equipment for the
Commerce Department

Four new typewriters have been
purchased for the commerce depart
ment in the Blackfoot high school.
Two of these are Underwoods and
the other two are Smiths. More ma
chimes have been needed for num-
Der of years, for it has never been
possible for all the students to take
typewriting who wished to. Fur
thermore, the pupils in this school
have never been allowed to practice
more than one period, and other
schools usually allow their students
to practice two full hours each day.
The school has never had machines
enough to permit any work other
than the actual lesson, and it is
thought that the new typewriters
will relieve this situation to some
extent. The following are post-gradu-
ates who have returned to school
to complete commerce courses:
Margaret Wilson, Frederick Barrett.
Marie Dore, Marjorie Albertson and
Aletha Sutton.
