In this course Shorthand IV is offered, and pupils learn to type at the rate of ninety-five words per minute. ln the first semester they learn how to use the different machines around the business ofhce and to work the switchboard. After a pupil has finished the course he is well prepared to enter almost any type of oiflce for the work studied is that of eighteen types. One week the students imagine they are working in a bank and do the work necessary in that position. The next week they work in a law firm and learn four different ways of filing papers and other valuable bits of in- formation which makes a worthwhile secretary. Each section is working to- gether to produce a harmonious week. TYPING CLASS l171

Math VVhen the field representative of Case School of Applied Science visited our school, he remarked that the kind of mathematics teaching you are doing, accounts for the excellent work your graduates are doing at Case. YVe may certainly be proud to have an im- partial outsider make such a statement. The mathematics department is one of the largest at Heights and is very ably directed by Nliss Benedict. In the Sophomore year the pupils usually study plane geometry. This may be followed by more advanced courses in the Junior and Senior years. In some of the classes of solid geometry the students make models of solids. ln advanced algebra l and lol graphing is very important. Some of the graphs made by the students are posted on-the bulletin board while others are kept in a note- book for future reference. Ninth grade . - . 4 algebra is offered for those who have not L previously studied it. The one semester of trigonometry is very popular with Heights students. Another very inter- esting course offered by this department is commercial math taught by Mr. Mc- Afee. The course in calculus, which is taught by Mr. Phillips, includes a study of projectiles and serves as an introduc- tion to college analysis. In the advanced algebra classes, determinants, scale of W , numbers, and theory of equations are . ' some of the subjects studied. R JU.

XI . .sg ., Q x xx. s xx Arts Not only does Heights High give an excellent college preparation in irregular French verbs and tirades of Cicero, but it also prepares for the seri- ous business of higher education through its Arts Department. Credit is given for one year course in Art under bliss Wliswall or lN'Iiss Bulkley, or for Cook- ing or Sewing under Miss Deering. lN'Ir. Haga- man offers a three year course in mechanical draw- ing. Nh. Nixon offers a two year course in shop work. Under the efficient direction of this corps of experts our Arts Department offers full and complete courses, and the classes are well patron- ized. The domestic science courses teach us to make fudge, and to make rapid repairs on silk stockings. The prospective Case freshman makes 22 drawings in the mechanical drawing class, which is excell- ent training for decorating the covers of his future textbooks, and in the shop the boy aspirant for university work can be all set up with tie racks for his Christmas neckwear.
