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

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

They are taught to distinguish different cuts of meat, plan menus, serve grace- fully, and prepare attractive dishes. You know how it is, just in case. l Now, if we should take a peek at the sewing class we might find them choosing patterns, making simple garments. or learning weaves or types of fabrics. l With cooking and sewing, home manager ment is given. The purpose of this class is to teach the basic principles of house-keeping. Although this is only a one semester subject, the girls in this class learn the true art of homemaking. Pronouns and Poetry l Do you remember those verbs, nouns. themes, and pantomimes? Not to mention voice exercises that would make anyone who is not familiar with our school wonder just what it is all about. Don't we all at times? l For those who wish to gain a fuller knowl- edge of English literature, senior English is offered. ln this course modern poetry and the great literature of the past is studied. Some of these classes also study the history of drama IIS
