Study in concentration—Eloise Stone and Annette Foraster practice typing. Hazen Brittin and Kathleen Beddoes examine a model guillotine in a modern European history class. COMMERCIAL COMPETENCE In the commercial department we have st udied to the tattoo of active type¬ writers. Through long practice we have attained increasing accuracy and speed in balancing the seemingly endless columns of figures and in using the once strange characters of shorthand. We have studied laws governing business,- we have tried to learn the skills of buying and selling. Under the guidance of the teachers in this field many of us have developed an efficiency which will enable us to keep pace with the rushing tempo of the modern business world. SEEKING SOCIAL INSIGHT In studying social science we have first studied history which is a record of man’s experiences—those that brought him failure as well as those that brought him success. In our study of his early, simple groupings—the family, the clan, and the tribe—we have found the basis for modern, organiz ed nations. We have analyzed his wars that breed hate, death, persecution, and resultant wars. From our study of his attempts toward a peaceable effort for existence we have realized that there are problems in peace as difficult as those in war. Hence, it is chiefly from our study of the evolution of man’s primitive co-operative living into the complex and integrated society of today that we are able to understand more clearly present eco¬ nomic and social problems. 25

HABITS FOB II O 31E 31A K ! N 1i With a desire to learn how to become artistic and efficient homemakers, we have pursued studies in home economics. Some of us have learned not only how to prepare nutritious foods with an appetizing appeal to the taste and the eye, but also how to buy food materials wisely. Others in their study of the art of clothing have learned how to design and make gar¬ ments and how to wear them most attractively. Both de¬ partments in home economics have stressed budgeting in¬ comes so that they may be used to the best advantage. All in all, we have acquired a body of knowledge concerning home management that will be of great value to us when we become tomorrow’s home-makers. Eileen Finger, Evelyne Motts, Lila Lee Spanley, and Pauline Staschke prepare a meal in one of the new model kitchens. INVESTIGA TING INDUSTRIES Studies in the industrial arts have given many of us the opportunity to explore various vocations and to practice their basic skills. In architectural and mechanical drawing we have found a method for setting down plans for build¬ ing. Work in the shops has given us the satisfaction which results from creating from raw materials objects of use or beauty. Some of us have investigated the newer voca¬ tions of electricity and radio which attract those ingenious in discovery and invention as well as those who wish to work with material already in use. These explorations of the crafts in industry have been of great practical value to us, for from them we have learned that the hand can be trained to apply the thought in the mind. iSS John Baughman and Bill Cook construct model houses under the direction of Mr. Dunn. 27
