Parker, who was head of the art department, has been a severe blow to the entire school. The Poinsettia in particular mourns the death of the man who, as art advisor of the an' nual, contributed largely to its success and beauty. Mrs. Lee is eiiiciently car' rying on his work as head of this depart' ment, which includes the following courses: art, costume designing, commerf cial art, history of art, craft, life, pot' tery, and art appreciation. The Object of the home economics department, headed by Miss Graham, is to raise the standard of living. Courses for girls include the study of textiles and the making and modeling of garf ments, household management, nursing, millinery, selecting and preparing foods, and dietetics. A course open to senior boys covers the selection and preparaf tion of meals. Another important func' tion of this department is the valuable contribution it makes to the Christmas work.

COMMERCE The chief object of courses in com' merce is to train people to enter business pursuits. The department, headed by Mr. Evans, embraces three major divif sions. The secretarial course, which inf cludes sho-rthand and typing, is usually selected by girls desiring positions as pri' vate secretaries or stenographers. Ac' countancy is based upon the three years of bookkeeping and trains the student to enter business or become a certified pub' lic accountant. Merchandising prepares the student as a salesman or advertising specialist. Hamilton, Abbott, Staples, Harvey, Lyon, Juline. MUSIC The music department, excellently headed by Miss Ames, includes the glee clubs, the orchestras, and the band, as well as courses in harmony, the history of music, and music appreciation. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Jenner, affords several enjoyable prof grams and cofoperates with the glee clubs in producing the annual spring opera. The glee clubs also sing at the vesper ser' vices and offer an inspiring Christmas program. The band serves the R,O.T.C. and the entire school by playing at par' ades and football games. l2'5l Hood, Huber, Evans, Jacobs, Knapp, Wright. MECHANIC ARTS i The mechanic arts department capably headed by Mr. Hamilton, com' prises courses in architectural drawing, printing, forge, shop mathematics, auto shop, and machine shop. As this is a mechanical age, no man's education is complete unless he has some understand' ing of the various machines which make living comfortable and modern industry possible. The purpose of the mechanic arts courses is to round out a general education and to acquaint the students with the fundamental principles of mod' ern industrial life, rather than to teach trades. Slater, Ames, Ferguson, Jenner.
