Commercial Room Fourteen new tables have been placed In the Commercial room. These tables of highly finished maple, when not open, resemble a flat topped desk. In this position they are used lor the classes of Bookkeeping. Economics, and Business Training. At the time of the type- writing classes the desks are opened by means of an upward pull on the handle at the front of the desk, thus bringing the typewriter into view, and at the same time the top slides to the back of the desk thus permitting the machine to stand on a platform.

 Well Equipped Science Laboratory Science During the year, the various divisions of the Science Department have enjoyed pastimes along with their regular work. A telegraph set has been especially interest- ing to the Eighth Grade, and a wireless class for high school pupils has been held in the fifth period, three times a week. Both sets of ap- paratus. although privately owned, were set up in the labratory and used by the students. A test-tube quartet composed of members of the Physics Class, played a group of songs for the February Assembly program, and later ap- peared among the school amateurs.

General Science students have been engaged in making required collections of leaves, insects, and flowers. Twenty-four
