GDQDMM IE IDID Il A IL GDGD IU IDJV IEJV COMMERCE There is something about an office and business routine that is irresistible to one in every three of us at some time. ls it the inky mimeograph, the snap- ping adding machine, or the tramp of keys to the Victrola's march? Perhaps it is filing pa- pers, Winning Speed tests, or Mr. Tealey, Miss Slaughter, Mr. Johnson, Miss Syverson, Mr. Beede. even filling note books with crooks and dotted lines that makes plain spelling and punc- tuation palatable side dishes in this varied menu offered by the Commercial department. At any rate, we may begin with junior business and follow it with bookkeeping, typing, short- hand, commercial law, and finally by general office prac- tice. After four years of such diet We emerge practically a Roger Babson body on a Gregg chassis.

IE ID IUIEAYIFII CDN GYM Since it has been proved to us that a healthy mind must have a healthy body in which to function, We devote some part of each day to physical training. The boys romp, play, march, and exercise under the tutelage of Mr. Olson. The girls work out a similar routine Cwith an occasional session of folk dancing thrown inl under the direction of Miss Clarkson. The students in the tumbling class, who perfect their art during the sixth period daily, exhibit their ' 9 -Mr. Olson, M is: Clarkson. prowess at the home basketball games. These acro- batic exhibitions have become as much a part of our games as the music ot the Pep Band. During each period of the day our gym is in use. Shouts of glee and the sounds of prancing feet give evidence all day long of activity and good times. After school, when the dividing curtain separating the boys' and girls' sections is removed, the gym becomes the scene of practice for varsity squads, intramural contests, and girls' sports. ,f- ' ss--....
