COMMERCIAL Herrick, Springman. With the tremendous amount oF bookkeeping required to keep our armed forces properly supphed and equipped, people with trained business minds are greatly in demand. In this capocity commercial students have an important place in the winning of this war. The Commercial Department, supervised by Professor John Springman, trains commercial students in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business, economics, and many other subjects. Every student on the campus becomes familiar with this department through the handwriting course, hich students ore required to take before graduation. To introduce and train students into the many phases of home-making and home-management is the duty of the hHome Economics department under the fine direction of Miss Estelle Bauch. Presented to hHome Ec s are courses in meal planning, nutrition, food-buying, preparation, cooking, selection of materials, and making of clothing. A real test of the girl ' s knowledge of home- making is the one semester that all home eco- nomics majors must spend in the practice house. hHere girls have a chance to try out all the various subjects included under hlome Eco- nomics.

ART Svvete, McAllister, Gill. An interesting place to spend a leisurely afternoon is the second Floor of the Ad. building, where the Art classes are taught. Fascinating exhibits of the work of classes in Life-sketching, blackboard drawing, commercial design, sculpturing and painting ore displayed. Rooms are filled with posters and murals done under the supervision of Professor Orlo M. Gill and his talented department staff. Classes in art appreciation are taught to Early Elementary students,- even students who are not art majors find these classes profitable and enjoyable. A trip past Pease Auditorium enables the student to locate the musicians on the campus. Professor Haydn M. Morgan, and the staff of the Conservatory of Music, prepare students for the Public School Music course, and for the Band and Orchestra courses. Music majors ore taught how to develop the various phases of music in the public school system. Equally as valuable to the future school teacher is the training received in the Choir. Throughout the year the Choir, Orchestra, and Band have given fine concerts which have served a two-fold purpose: providing musical enjoyment to concert-goers and valuable help to the musician.
