Miss Ellen c. Talcott, who con- pleted her fifth year at the Senior high school this month, is one of the outstanding commercial teach CTS in the state. The many honors coming to the school through the winning of medals and other awards in state typewriting contests are due to a great extent to her untiring ef- forts in the careful preparation of her pupils. Her students have held the state championship in typewrit- ing for the past three years and the last New England high school cham mpionship was brought home to New Britain through the excellent work of Miss Talcotts students.
 A native of Wallingford, she was graduated from Wallingford high school and Bay Path Institute of Springfield, Mass. She did extra work in English and psychology at Colum- bia university and in typewriting, office practice and shorthand at Simmons college, Boston, Mass.
 She returned to her home city after receiving an extensive com mercial education to accept a posi- ton as head of the commercial de- partment of Wallingford high school. After her resignation from that school until the time she came to New Britain she was an instructor in commercial studies in Danbury and Meriden high schools.
