In Mrs. Ruth Hamlin ' s and Miss Louise Gentry ' s classes we not only learn to choose foods wisely and to cook them well and deliciously, but training in serving is also a part of the foods course. Miss Gentry comes from Junior High to teach the freshmen the rudiments of how to dine well. The presence of boys in the classes serves as a challenge to the girls who have until recently considered this their department.

COMMERCE Learning to identify one key from another seemed to be the biggest goal in typing. Speed tests were the most fun. One was always trying to be a whiz and get his name on the board. The thought exercises were the most difficult since many of us very seldom took the time to think. The statement Nothing important ever happens in our Com¬ mercial Department is one that may be misleading. On the contrary, learning the fundamentals of business are very essential in this ever-growing world of ours. Not only does one learn he also has fun in these classes. Thanks to Mr. Replogle, this year ' s Commercial classes have been very important to many of us. Paee 71

HOME ECONOMICS Do you have a dating problem? Do you wish to be trained in the responsibilities of a baby sitter? Can you bake a cherry pie? If so, enroll in one or more of Mrs. Ruth Hamlin ' s classes. She has taught us to choose and to design suitable clothing, to care for children and to think of our home life as an important part of our living. - ■? The spacious sewing room of the home economics unit is pleasant to work in. Whether we sit around the tables and discuss personality problems or carefully cut material for a new spring outfit, the long south room with its vista of green fields creates an atmosphere of cheerful work.
