he Cummmfizizrl Prpartmnnt The Commercial Department offers a four year course. The course is so organized as to give the student completing it the essen- tials required in whatever commercial work he may take up. During the first two years of the course other academic work is taken up and not until the final two years are the commercial branches taught. The school term ot' 1922-1923 has been a very productive year. ln September, 1922, the students started with an interest that has never waned, and their work has been well and faithfully done. At present, the equipment of the department is equal to that of the best equipped commercial departments. Every typewriter has been replaced with the latest Remington model. Three Burroughs Adding and Calculating Machines of different types have been added, these along with filing cabinets and the best of text books give the depart- ment ample working material. Throughout the year interest ran high in the typewriting classes. Every member of the senior class has drawn the Remington award for efficiency. The seniors defeated the seniors of the South Union Township High School in a series of five contests. Two tests were written at South Union School and three at Georges. The contests were well Written by both teams. and the Georges contestants earned a well deserved victory by winning three of the five tests. Bookkeeping is begun in the Sophomore year. The aim in this work is to give a thorough course of office practice and introduction into bookkeeping during the Sophomore year, and then in the Junior year the advanced bookkeeping is taken. The Sophomore Class has done some excellent work. Most of the class are good penmen which is the highest asset of a bookkeeper. Gregg Shorthand is studied during the junior and senior years. In the junior year the Gregg Manual is mastered. Supplementary exercises and Speed Studies are additional textbooks used. In the senior year the manual is reviewed. Reigner's Dictation Course in Business Literature, Speed Studies, and Constructive Dictation are all studied. The commercial subject that baptizes the Freshmen is Commer- cial Arithmetic and Rapid Calculations. A Hne class of forty-two be- gan the year and thirty-five yet remain with a strangle hold upon the essentials. Penmanship. Spelling, Business Correspondence, Commercial Geo ra ihv and Commercial Law all have a .lace in the course. 8 I . ln this course a student can work with every advantage a commer- cial course can offer and if the work is faithfully pursued and com- pleted opportunities will not be lacking Harry J.
