' ----- -b4- ----- 5 P ...Q 4 4 After two more weeks of practice in Typing and Shorthand, the students who won first or second place at Yandalia were taken to Decatur. Here, at the Sectional, Contest, we met with much competition. Although, we didn 't take first place, we did make a good showing. Mr. Haag, our Commercial Teacher, said he wished we could have taken first place but was proud of t.he record we did make. U The Commercial students wish to thank Mr. Haag for the excellent train- ing we have received in typing, shorthaixd and bookkeeping and the wonderful tnne we had at the party he gave for the students who participated in the contests.

S. as green as a Freshman, only in reality a Senior. My mind was in a whirl. What had this school to offer that I had previously never had? Foods, Typewriting, Shorthand, and dozens of other features that mean so much to the advanced student. The pupils and faculty were extremely kind and considerate. Along with all of its advantages, Altamont makes you feel at home-as if you belonged to the gang, You are allowed to join any of the activities you desire. Two of the best features of the school are the publication of the Altois and the Racket. My only regret is that I didn't become a member of your happy gang sooner. I see now the many opportunities I have missed by attemling a small- er school. Altamont has taught me the art of getting along with other peo- ple and to enjoy life to its fullest extent by always being in a good humor. 1t's the School that teaches you everything. -eMargaret Seyferth

PHYSICS With the aid of our most learned instructor, RV. B. Casey, the principal of A. l'. ll. S.. we have procured and hope to apply many of the rudiments of the great field of Physics. The first semester we delved into the secrets of machines, heat and en.erg'jr and liquids. ln the study of machines we started with the simple lever and developed into many more intricate aids to the human strength. Through the applying of heat and energy to levers, we have an engine capable of producing much horse power. The steam engin.e is a good example of this. Through the use of the firebox, we have heat. the eneregy of which is put in the water, producing steam. this works the lever which turns the wheel that moves the engine and so, it is very much, like the house that Jack built. We may think that an engine of this kind, while it seetmks very etomplicated to the layman, is very simple to anyone who wishes to study 3 few of the elementary facts. We learned that heat may be transferred in many different ways: and how to prevent the transferring of heat when we need to. It is transit rred by convection.. conduction and radiation. There were luany other minor points such as this the first. semester. The second semester was taken up with electrical energy and ways and means of measuring it, using it, and producing it. We also had a touch of sound waves, through the atmosphere and through more solid matter. In our study of electricity we began with the Leyden jar, a simple storage battery and worked up to electric motors and multicellcd batteries. We think everyone profits from this course, even though students are given the impression that it is a very difficult and complicated course. I VOMM ERUI A li SUBJ ECTS Several years ago the need for a Commercial Department was seen so typing and shorthand courses were offered in addition to bookkeeping which had previously been taught. Mr. Haag has taught these subjects during the past three years. From these subjects we learned cooperation and also that accuracy out- weighs speed in any line. Commercial students participated in many contests from which they de- rived pleasure. experince and made new acquaintances. Although most of us may never use these Subjects as a means of a. living we will have something to depend upon should we be in need of financial support. t'tlMMERt'lAl. t'0N l'ES'l'S On Saturday, Feb. 27, the following studentw from the Altamont Uom- munity High Sehool t ommereial Classes went to Shelbyville to the Invitation- al l'ontest: Juniors-Doris Mery. Virginia Smith, Florence Koberlein, Martha- gene James, and Junior Rehwaldg and Seniors-Doris Frazer. Helen Rockwell. Marv Uatharine Vondenbosch. Rosalie Zimmerman, Linder Devore, Earl Tap- pendorf and Harold Zanders. .Of the 20 schools represented Altamont took first place. They won a beautiful cup and several of the students received ribbons for individual honors. Thev returned home, proud of the honor we had won for Altamont and determined to win. at the District Fontest, to he held in two weeks. This con- test was held at Vandalia. The Same group of students went. Here, again, we won first place. The school received a large certificate and the students re- ceived small certifieates as individual honors.
