Show 6C Standard-Examin- Sunday June er 5 1988 Metro Volunteers needed ‘Liberated women’ were educated Ogden’s first “liberated women” were undoubtedly the girls who took commercial education courses at Ogden High School after the turn of the century The young women learned shorthand typing bookkeeping a bit of commercial law and a little advertising The important thing was they could earn their keep Before that time secretarial jobs were held by young men who began working for businessmen while still in school They attended night school to learn shorthand and how to operate various office machines They planned to learn enough about merchandising through their secretarial work to be able to go into business for themselves “Times were different” an elderly lady said a few years ago “We
