the full length of the building, and at one end of the hall is located the prin.cipal's office. On the north side of the hall are located four of the re- citation rooms. In the room on the west Miss Clara Carpenter, assistant principal, conducts her English III and I classes.

The room on the east is occupied by Miss Mayme Conroy, who has charge of the Latin classes. Miss Elizabeth West hears her Eng- lish II and Psychology classes recite in the west room on the south side of the hall. E The Commercial Department is located in the second room from the west, and is one of the strongest departments in the school. Miss Amanda Gansel, a lady who has had considerable commercial experience outside as well as in business colleges, has charge of this department. The Commer- cial course consists of four years work, which is equivalent to an ordinary term in. a business college. In the course are offered all the subjects of a regular business course, including bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting, commercial law, commercial geography, commercial arithmetic, penman- ship, etc. The commercial course here surpasses that of many of the smaller colleges. , The Domestic Art room is under the supervision 'of Miss Francis Daily. It is equipped with sewing machine tables, sewing machines, electric irons, and other modern improvements found in an up-to-date domestic art room. The Physical Science room, over which Miss Mabel D. McHendry presides, is one of the best equipped rooms in the building. It has an- up- to-date instructor's experiment table and a large amount of physics labra- tory material. There are eight labratory tables of the very best grade in the room. The physics classes are divided, the girls taking a course in Household ,Physics and the boys a course in Practical Physics. The Fresh- men take Physical Geography and General Science in this room. The Library and Reading roomlis a greatly appreciated improvement to the school. The library is open all afternoon to the students who may go there at any period they don't have classes and do their outside reading or they may, wait until four o'clock and check a book out over night. Miss Clara Koch is employed as librarian. The Beloit High school has a print shop, which is, however, a minor part of the school. It is located in the small room in the southwest corner on the second floor. Forrest A. Dunn presides over it, and several of the boys are taking printing, for which they receive one-half a credit a semester. Small bills, report cards, etc., are printed there. -A. B. D.
