TliIE JOPUMO 1939 HOME ECONOMICS Recd Looper The enrollment in the home economics department grows steadily from year to year, as the girls realize that cooking and sewing have come to be recognized as necessary arts. Two years of both cooking and sewing are offered. The sewing classes with an enrollment of 152 girls are supervised by Miss Ethel Reed, B. S. The girls gain a practical knowledge of all types of fabrics, and make practically every type of clothing for themselves. Miss Reed also has charge ofthe Rotary girls, and outside of school hours finds time to do club work. She also enjoys driving, and finding new stations on the radio. There are 87 girls in the cooking classes directed by Mrs. Elizabeth Jaccard Cooper, B. S. The girls, under Mrs. Cooper's direction, have helped to serve many dinners and banquets. The cafeteria, also under her supervision, is managed so efficiently that a very large proportion of our 1,200 enrollment is served daily in the three thirty-minute lunch periods. Outside of school hours Mrs. Cooper finds time to care for her flower garden, from which many flowers are gathered to brighten the cafeteria. l A Laboratory Cooking Class. F I, r r

SCIENCE Buskctt Drummond The science courses are always popular with the students, as is shown by the fact that over one-third of the entire student body is enrolled in classes in that department. One year's work is offered in each of the following sciences: biology, agriculture, chemistry, physics, and geology: While one semester of commercial geography is given. ' Miss E. Catherine Drummond, B. S., M. A., has six classes of enthusiastic sophomores in her biology work. She is a sponsor of the Girl Reserves, and is much interested in nature study. Mr. Evans W. Buskett, B. S., M. E., chemistry and geology teacher, is the faculty advisor of the Spyglass, school newspaper, and his hobby is the study of minerals. Mr. A. L. Pry, B. S., A. B., came to Joplin High this year to succeed Mr. L. T. Evans in the agriculture and physics classes. While Mr. Pry has many special interests, we are inclined to believe that his chief interest is his charming baby daughter. X ' l ll I I, 1 Kr' A Chemistry Laboratory Class.

COMMERCE . Clunubcrlain Petrie Bcuhlman Jackson Martin The commercial department shows a noticeable decrease in enrollment this year, having a total of 873 students, as compared with 958 for the correspond- ing period last year. This situation is probably due to the fact that the market for commercial talent is overcrowded. The department offers two years of both typing and shorthand, three semesters of bookkeeping, and one semester of commercial law. There are also classes in advertising and salesmanship for seniors, and in retail selling for senior girls. The advanced students have charge of activity ticket accounts, and get other practical experience in their classes. ' Miss Gladys Beuhlman, B. S., and Miss Marian Martin, B. S., are typing and shorthand teachersg while Miss Beulah C. Jackson, B. S., has typing and office practice classes. Mrs. Pleta Childs Petrie, B. Pe., B. S., has bookkeeping, shorthand and typing classes: while Mr. Harry C. Chamberlain, B. S., E. M., has bookkeeping. retail selling, and commercial law classes. Miss Beuhlman's favorite hobbies are music and bridge. Miss Martin spends much of her spare time with the Business and Professional Women's Club, while Miss Jackson is very fond of picture shows, and her favorite sport is golf. Mrs. Petrie enjoys swimming, dancing and golf, while Mr. Chamberlain is an Ozark enthusiast, whose hobby is fishing. r l 2 5 e' l A ll Q A Commercial Law cum. 4 X S Qi X Q g .H Thirty . fe V gy THE Joeumo was e r ax, 5' X K 5, .ttf -'cr' I l Q.
