Through English we build our thoughts, appreciations, and emotions and gain power of expression. Emerson's essays, Stevenson's tales of adventure, Sandburg's poetry, Shakespea1'e's dramas: all are typical of the literary studies of today's English classes at Manual. Through the study of the lives of the writers of today and yesterday, we can better understand their works. Pen in hand, not content to sit by watching others, the Manual English student moves toward a development of his own powers. Aifordcd the best in the study of English, all students are encouraged and some develop talent in writing. All realize that this all important thing, English, is used, not only in school, but is a definite factor toward success in life. To be able to express clearly one's joys and sorrows, one's ambitions and expectations, either through spoken or written thought is the aim of every sincere student. In addition to the literature and composition classes offered at Manual, there are courses in business education, a modern course in the English used every day in the business world. Our words are the shadow of the things we think. TI ' z NOW I LOVE YOU-BUT IF YOU DON'T GET THAT HOME WORK- m em afiwfgtfs 'H r. 5 E-Xlgfssa

COVERING MANY MILES IN A FEW SECONDS COMMERCE HE clicking of typewriters and ringing of bells was a constant sound in the typing room as nimble fingers raced over the keys. Such' industry and diligence evidenced the fact that typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, commercial law, business English and arithmetic are subjects in which students earnestly participate. With accuracy and speed as goals, and pins and certificates as rewards, Manual strives to help future business men and women obtain a knowledge of commerce. An understanding of business procedure gives the student confidence as he goes into the changingworld to help carry responsibility, to advance the social and domestic order of our modern life. Commercial study, as is given in modern education, is a support in preparing a person to use new machines and devices, with speed and accuracy. Business-the heart of a moving world! Students work at examples in school, and follow them in life. T l we vc A DEBIT IS OFTEN A CREDIT IN THEIR LANGUAGE

RECIPE BOOKS -1- DOMESTIC TRAINING : ONE Al HUSBAND HOME ECONOMICS CME ECONOMICS teaches young people how to live. It gives opportunity for practical study and material application of science, art, and sound business prinf ciples to daily life. Courses in this department are an illustration of the modern applif cation of the old principle of learning through experience. A visit to homc economics classes today reveals interesting sights scarcely thought of a generation ago. Husky athletes mixing tasty pastries, or darning socks. Girls wondering if their biscuits will conquer or be conquered, or learning the principles of a balanced diet for a family. ' During the past year, knitting, an AllfAmerican hobby, demanded wide attenf tion by girls in the home economics classes. The study of materials, color combinations, and styles was also taken up, not only as related to knitting, but to all modes of dress. The girls in the cooking classes, by giving wide attention to the planning of health' ful diets, made bids for future domestic happiness. Boys in the home making class learned the fundamentals of cooking, clothing a family, and balancing a budget. Truly, youth's plans for future happiness starts with reality in school.
