Mom went to secretarial school a few years after she graduated high school. Since she graduated in 1945, school was probably sometime in the late 1940s, or possibly early 1950s.
Even in the 1970s and 1980s she could type 80-90 words a minute.
On a manual typewriter.
I can still "hear" the sound of her typing some committee report or whatever, sitting at the dining room table after supper.
Honestly, it sounded like a machine gun going off.
