That the emphasis in this department is on vocational training especially appeals to me. A foundation for later training in husiness is prof vided hy first lessons in husiness for eighth graders and introduction to husiness for ninth graders. Alitf er completing this introductory work, all students study typewriting and hookkeeping for at least one year. The pupil's ahility, with particular emphasis upon his success in husiness suhiects, determines the diree' tion his vocational training will take. Four fields of major sequence are provided: l. The hookkeeping sequence pupils complete one year of hookkeeping and one year of otiice praef tice. OF ALL THE LAN Foreign languages are taught here hecause k'To learn a foreign language, ancient or modern, is to have a new lite opened up to us, to know new peof ple and other ways ot' thought, to read some of the world's outstanding literature. to gain a feeling of familiarity with the names ot ottfmentioned places, to develop a spirit of tolerance and sympathy for other nations past and present, as well as to secure a more intimate understanding ot their eivili:ation and culture. Nineteen classes were taught hy six teachers. Two Latin teachers instructed nine classes. There were two classes in Latin S, one in Latin 9, and two in Latin l. Two Latin Il fflaesarj and Latin III ffficeroj classes met daily, Benefits derived from these are a 2. The secretarial sequence pupils complete two years of shorthand and one year of secretarial training. 3. The general clerical sequence ---pupils eomf plete one year of retail selling work and one year of otlice practice. 4. A program of training tor general oliiee work with one year of office practice. Frequently pupils are found pursuing courses within each of the three types ot work in order to satisfy their ahilities and needs. For electives in this department, the course of study provides economic geography, husiness organf ization, and husiness law. Again the emphasis is vo' eational, providing knowledge and experience of particular value in training for life in the business world. GUAGES OF EARTH larger vocahulary and better acquaintance with the structure ot' the English language and Roman his' tory. Pronunciation has changed with the times, and now Caesar is pronounced Kaiser There were also nine French classes with three teachers. There were three daily periods of French I, one of French 9, three of French II and two of French Ill. The first two courses laid the ground' work, while the others progressed further into the civilization, history, and geography of the French people. Episodes from the works of noted authors such as Hugo and Zola were read. German Il and III were comhined into one class taught hy Mrs. deZafra. Ahility to read orally was deemed especially valuahle. page jioimeen

Today, I find, art training is given in the puhlic schools to all who want it. Both Mrs. Eva Milliman and Mrs. Florence York were teaching this subject. Design work, life drawing, and still life drawing were emphasized. Also, students had practice in water color, tempera, lithograph, charcoal, ink, eonipanisi, llaroltl Single-ion, llaroltl Gesehwinal TOGETHER WORK pastels, and airlwrusli, Appreciation ol art is one lwenelit for all, and it bcnelits a few by the discovery of real talent. Mr. Maxwell supervised three daily coinmercial art classes in this huilding, after spending the niornf ing at jellierson High School.

Two first year, two second year, and one third year class were registered. Soloists for the vocal recif tals given were trained in these classes, Semi-weekly unison singing was the diet ot' part of the eighth graders. Three classes in this were givf en for their heneiit, Attendance at this class or prep choir is compulsory with eighth grades. Students interested in acquiring skill in playing the piano took lessons from Mr. Harold Bernstein. Violin was also taught.

The hilarious spirit of hoys and girls in 'igyinn was slightly magnified in the poemlet above, hut only slightly. There were thirteen hoysl classes semi' weekly and the same number for girls in the two first floor gymnasiums. Individual Health Training classes were held for persons with physical defects which did not warrant a doctorls excuse. Twelve classes of girls and nine of hoys come twice weekly. Boys and girls had separate weekly classes in hygiene in both ninth and eleventh grades. These and ten sophomore safety classes come under the jurisdiction of this department. ffm' LJCCUUTII of nurse see page 99,2 Left io Rigzlitf Anthony Geraee, Albert.
