Retail Training provides part time actual working experience for seniors interested in this type of work.

One of the projects in which all the members of the Commercial Department participated was the tabulation of results of the mock presi- dential election held in Davenport High School. The Commercial Department obtained sixty new typewriting desks and posture chairs to add to the equipment this year. At the department's mimeograph machine are teachers Miss Cecile Logic, Miss Mildred Blair, Miss Della Taylor, Miss Lois Hillemeyor, and Miss Lola Weber.

'Open wide, that's it. Now breathe deep, deeper ... You're right if you have guessed that these words refer to the Nurse's Office at Davenport High School. They are common during enroll- ment when each student is required to have a physical checkup by the school physician. The results, of the checkup are filed in the Nurse's Office. Before taking part in sports, each participant must have a physical checkup with Dr. Carl Matthey. This is not only for the student's wel- fare, but for the good of the team, as only the most capable persons may play. Nurse Imogene Sandway is on duty at all times, while the school's doctor. Dr. Matthey, is ready to lend a hand in case of more serious accidents. Dr. William Teegen, dentist, takes care of all student bridgework. Mrs. Imogene Sand- way. school nurse, uses one of her acoustical testing machines on Donna Rock. 19
