Perle Mane Parvis Commercial Department The value of the Commercial Course to the entire school and business world can hardly be estimated. The aim of the department is to train for efficiency in commerical work and to create a business attitude on the part of the students. For two consecutive years the Commercial Department has won the state champion- ship in the annual Commercial Contest held at Muncie, Indiana, and has made very brilliant showings in the preceding years. The different subjects offered are: typing, penmanship and spelling, stenography, bookkeeping, arithmetic, commercial geography, and commercial law. The instructors are Mr. Amos, Miss Buchanan, Mr. Hatcher, and Miss Parvis. History and Vocational|Guidance The History Department gives students of European history a valuable cultural background followed by an understanding of modern European problems; while the American history, government, and economics courses are designed to give an apprecia- tion of the place of the United States among the nations. Through a program of individual counselling, in addition to class-room instruction in citizenship, the department of Vocational Guidance purposes to guide and prepare pupils to select vocations. Mr. Chapman is chairman of both branches. Other instructors in history are Mr. Smith and Miss Perkins, while Miss Welch and Mr. Whitmer teach in each depart- ment. F. W. Chapman A.B., M.A., Ruby V.

Each year, in addition to the regular prescribed courses of literature, grammar, and composition, minimum essential tests are given to the students to determine whether or not they have mastered the fundamental requirements of English. To encourage the ability of self- expression, inter-class oratorical contests are sponsored yearly by the English depart- ment. In this department we have the very capable services of Miss Cravens, Miss Duguid, Miss Evans, Miss Glockner, Miss Heimbach, Miss Stearns, Miss Bugbee, and Miss Moist. Miss Heimbach also has a journalism class and is faculty sponsor of the Alltold, while Miss Stearns is faculty advisor of the Miskodeed. Foreign Languages It is the aim in the language classes, French and Latin, to have the pupils acquire the ability to read, write, speak, and understand the language they are studying, and to make this ability of practical use and value. Miss Wyland and Miss Bugbee are the Latin teachers, while Miss Rosenberger is the French instructor. [can M. Cravens A.A., A.B., Catherine F.
