OUR SCHOOL DOMESTIC SCIENCE Our Domestic Science Department comes under the supervision of Miss Plumb. She devotes her forenoons to High School classes and her afternoons to those of the grade school. There are two classes, one advanced and one elementary. The elementary class meets for two periods and no outside work is required. The first semester was devoted to cooking and the second to sewing. Full credit is given. The advanced class was not organized until the second semester, but the girls have accomplished a great deal. On Wednesdays, dinners and luncheons are served by the girls of this class. On Thursdays, dainty foods are pre- pared by them and sold at cost to the ladies about town. Food for banquets and receptions given by the school are also prepared in the Domestic Science Department. The girls who are taking Domestic Science this year have found the course a most pleasant one, and under the leadership of Miss Plumb, it is also a most useful one. T. L. LANGUAGE Language seems to be a very popular subject in B. H. S. Latin, probably the most popular of the foreign languages taught, is in the form of a two- year course. Latin 1 was such a large class that a division was necessary, making two classes of first year Latin. Mr. Stevenson teaches all three classes of Latin. Trench, a little less difficult, has not as large an enrollment as Latin. It is also given in a two-year course. Miss Martin has charge of the French Department and makes it very interesting. E. M.

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department offers various courses in business lines, such as Commercial Arithmetic, with Business English following it the last semester; Shorthand 1 and 2; Bookkeeping 1 and 2. and numerous classes in Typewriting. The typewriting room is well equipped with different kinds of typewriters and changes are made every two weeks, so as to enable one to use any model of typewriter. Each year the Commercial Departments of the state conduct a contest between the different schools. This contest includes every branch that is taught in the Commercial Department. One of our students in Bookkeeping took second prize in the state contest. Another student took third in rapid calculation. This department offers a very speedy and acccurate course in all lines. Our students have holies of winning the cups in the state contest this year. M. X. HISTORY History is one of the fundamental subjects in a high school course. It is valuable, not only because of the fact that it adds to the sum total of our knowledge, but it also enables us to interpret the conditions now existing, and predict future events, in the light of the happenings of the past. In Brush High School this year, three different history courses are given. In the course in Ancient and Mediawal History, the important events from the earliest historic times down to the time of the early settlers in North America are studied. Modern History begins with the pre-Xapoleonic period in European history, and extends to the present time. There are two classes in Ancient History and two in Modern History. They are under the supervision of Miss Bleasdale. Seniors are required to take American History, which is a complete course in the history of the United States of America. Mr. Stevenson, our able in- struitor. makes this study a most interesting one. L. F. The world, dear friend, is a strange affair I'( ) ’ Thirteen
