You will agree with us that it does take gobs of grey matter. Hieroglyphics and Hubbub l To the drone of a grating phonograph record, the typewriters bang out such sentences as: Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. Remember? I thought you would. In the next room the shorthand class recites and makes those queer marks which are Greek to most of us. Besides typing and shorthand, the Commercial Department offers business English in which the students learn to speak correctly, briefly, and concisely. l Bookkeeping teaches the simple ways of recording business transactions, progressing to the more systematic and advanced methods. Bookkeeping may be described as the doorway to advanced accounting. l For our future businessmen is offered the subject of business organization. Here the personal qualifications for business are studied. The historical development of commerce and trade, types of ownership, and organization of business are also considered. l Economic geography, we find, is a study of man in his effort to supply his many eco- nomic and social needs. A major part of this course is spent in the study of the source of materials and their manufacture into goods used by the consumer. l13

If anyone can teach us twe have our doubtsl no one is better suited than our own teachers. Arcs and Angles l In our Mathematic Department we find problems from Zfl-214 to such problems as Vf lf3h tB+B' -le MBV 3 l Algebra has as its aim not only to increase the students understanding of the ninth grade l2l algebra but the ability to use this knowledge readily in the expression of such simple rela- tions as occur daily. l Let's see now what solid geometry tends to develop in the students. It is a greater respect and desire for the attainment of accuracy, neatness and precision. This subject is also required for further work in mathematics or engineering. l For those who can still take it, we offer trigonometry. This course aims to develop an understanding of the logarithmic solution of right and oblique triangles, radian measure, scale drawing, the relation of function-of sine, cosine, tangent, of multiple angles, and of in-

Lines and Levers l What's that noise coming from the manual building? lt sounds as if someone has turned a lion loose in a cement mixer. lt's only the woodwork class, printing class, or perhaps the members of the auto class tearing up someone's car to see what makes the wheels go around. Yet, it could be the members of the metal class making a lamp or some other beautiful and useful article. HI l There is silence in the art and mechanical drawing rooms, as these students work over their pictures or house plans. The electricity class makes as its object learning the funda- mental rules of electricity, magnetism, and the care and use of the equipment. As we cross the campus we hear the band and orchestra, or perhaps the voices of the vocalists. though not always in song, Needles and Noodles l Sniff, sniff, don't smell now, but something is burning. We soon realize that the cooking
