Cleveland Heights High School - Caldron Yearbook (Cleveland Heights, OH)

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT HE Commercial Department of Heights offers a variety of courses all of which give the stu- dent an opportunity for exceptional training in various Helds of business. The courses include one year of Commercial Law and Commercial Mathe- matics, and one semester of Commercial English. Two-year courses are also offered in typing, short- hand, and bookkeeping. Therefore, it is possible for a student to obtain either a major or a minor in this field. It is also permitted for a pupil to take a one-semester typing course for which he re- ceives no credit, but gets the basic training needed to type efficiently. Typing has been so popular at Heights during the last several years that it has been necessary at times to limit this course to seniors and juniors. The department, under the able direction of Mr. P. A. Cooley, has arranged such a program so that it will prove to be very beneficial not only to those students planning to go into business immediately, but also to those who are contemplating a college education.

Biology is considered a sopho- more subject, and the boys and girls taking it learn about living things. Chemistry, always important but more so now, is a very popular subject at Heights. Because of its intense popularity it has been necessary for the students desiring the course to take examinations to determine their ability to carry the subject. Here students are taught about the mysteries of compounds, elements and mixtures. Heat, sound, light, mechanics, and electricity are the topics which are studied in Physics. Today, girls are taking a new interest in the field of science. With so great a number of important positions being left by men in the service, new op- -portunities are presented each day. Due to this fact all of the teachers of the sciences here at Heights are making a greater effort to teach the boys the necessary and important facts that they need to help them in the service of their country, and en- able the girls to carry on their vacated positions.
