perience, and the pupils acting as customers gain much information which will prove of worth to them as consumers in later years. So valuable and worthwhile is the training received in these subjects that general students are required to take them in the event that they should ever want to enter any of the commercial fields. Mr. McDougall also teaches freshmen junior business training. Here pupils are instructed concerning desirable aptitudes, appreciation, habits, and knowledges. and how to acquire them. They are also provided with a basis for educational and vocational guidance. The students practice using the telephone and fill out actual commercial forms so they may acquire skill and proficiency: which will serve them to good advantage in business fields. Miss Elsie Garlow has charge of instructing students in the funda- mentals of typewriting and shorthand. Typewriting is one of the most fre- quently requested courses in high school, for it is important to the college student as well as to the commercial pupil whose aim is to go into the busi- ness world upon graduation. Shorthand is a vocational major, and, when mastered, is a valuable accomplishment. The first-year class provides early training in shorthand for those who are capable of acquiring the skill ni at least a minimum vocational level. Taking up, so to speak, where Miss Garlow leaves off, Miss Blanca.: Quick instructs students in the more advanced stages and principles of short- hand and typewriting. In the Shorthand II classes students are not only taught how to become proficient and skillful in that line, but are also in- structed concerning desirable traits for stenographers. With the second year also begins transcribing, a fundamental skill which every student who desires to become a successful stenographer must acquire. Advanced typing classes include drills designed to increase the student's speed and the type of work which would be found in offices, such as land contracts, invoices. bills, and bank statements. Inst.ruction in bookkeeping is provided by Mr. P. T. Gaudino who teaches both first and second year classes. This, too, is a frequently elected course by pupils outside the commercial departments because it is extremely valu- able in all walks of life -the busines world, the professional fields, and even in housekeeping which requires skill in keeping records. In elementary bookkeeping, the application of fundamental principles is the center of the student's attention. Second year pupils take up the more advanced vocational bookkeeping. This course provides those who have an aptit.ude for the sub- ject with knowledges and skills on a higher level than they attain in the first year class. Here they use actual practice sets of model businesses. Miss Florence Breeton instructs freshmen pupils in the fundamentals of business mathematics. The function of this course is to prepare pupils to enter the commercial curriculum with a complete and accurate founda- tion in arithmetic. The background this course furnishes is especially valu- able in the bookkeeping class. In the handwriting classes, Miss Laura Shallenberger drills pupils to develop both speed and quality in handwriting. Students may obtain remedial instruction and practice if needed. These classes are also of importance to those planning to take bookkeeping. The most proficient penmen of these classes are given an opportunity to display their skill and artistry by filling out certificates given to the football and basketball players. Time is also spent drilling for proficiency in spelling. And so the aims of this department are accomplished when students are given the training necessary for proper conduct in business. Upon the completion of the course they should be able to deal effectively with people in business relationships, to understand and sympathetically appreciate the economic service rendered by the common business and social agencies of the community, to conduct business affairs more economically and satis- factorily, to direct their growth efficiently in acquiring further business abilities as they are needed, and to render satisfactory service in a chosen commercial occupation.

l When the class bell rings girls come and go from the Walker house the Home Economic Department's exclu- A piece of cloth drops to the floor, but the young seamstress goes on fitting a dress-two heads bend interestedly over new color schemes for living room decorations-swiftly moving arms beat up a frothy white meringue to top off a cream pie-a household accountant puzzles over her books--these girls, busy with their tasks, are typical of the students taking the home economics course. The fundamentals of the home economics course are taught by Miss Marcella Gregory and Miss Emily Vosburgh. Eighth graders and freshmen learn the simple rudiments of food preparation from Miss Gregory. While they do not learn to make the more complicated dishes, they do cook the simple and inexpensive foods exceedingly well. They are also taught to buy foods, to care for them, and to keep their kitchen utensils clean and in proper condition. Miss Vosburgh starts her eighth grade and freshmen sewing classes on elementary articles such as pillow slips and aprons, leading them into more diiiicult work as the year progresses so that by the end of the school term they are well equipped to start the advanced work of the next. year. In addition to her elementary classes, Miss Gregory teaches senior girls related arts and has charge of the cafeteria. The related arts class is a particularly interesting one. Book ends from scraps of wood-blouses from odd bits of cloth and dyed sugar sacks-gay candy bowls from colored cords-dainty pictures of silhouettes from old pieces of glass and some paint-these are Page Twenty GIRLS PREPARE FOR A CAREER IN THE HOME ,ff A young seamstress follows the straight line made by the needle cf her machine. some of the many things made from materials which would otherwise be thrown away. Thus girls are taught t.o be practical as well as artistic. The cafeteria, supervised by Miss Gregory, per- forms a distinct service. lt serves a double pur- pose, that of training the individual student in the fields of meal-planning, budgeting, and din- ing room etiquette, and of providing teachers and pupils with well-balanced lunches under enjoy- able conditions. The careful arrangement of the details, from the steam table to the green cur- tains, combines with the delicious food to make eating at the cafeteria a distinct pleasure. To Miss Anna M. Gibson goes the task of train- ing the older girls in more difficult work and teaching them to be etlicient homemakers. Ad- vanced cooking, personal living, household ac- counting, house furnishing, child care, and voca- tions for girls are among the subjects studied. ln the advanced cooking class, the girls learn to prepare properly those tempting dishes which, easy to look at and easier to eat, are really quite diffcult to make. Not among the least of their accomplishments is the making of bread, an art almost forgotten in this age. Personal living is a general course where the girls acquire all-round knowledge concerning well-balanced meals, how to care for minor ill- nesses and how to prevent sickness. Correct habits are studied and note books made to sup- plement this work. An important feature of this class is the correct dress program. Here the students learn how to wear their clothes, where
