outlet in a Varied program of learning .. Commercial To meet the need of the increasing number of men and women em- ployed in business, Strong Yineent has a strong Business Edueation De- partment, whieh is steadily growing in size and constantly improving its instruetion and physical set-up. The first objeetive of the Department is to equip the student with the neeessary skills with whieh he may earn his living. To attain this objec- tive eourses are offered in Business Arithnietie, Bookkeeping, Short- hand. Typing and Ufiiee Praetiee. 'l'he seeond objeetive of the Business Ifidueation Department, equally important, is to inspire the student to beeoine an aetive and capable eitizen of his eolnnninity. Thus our great aim is that the student master his skills and learn to get along with his fellow worker. February of eaeh year finds hir. Schenek up to his ner-k in in- come tax reports. Along with his Bookkeeping teaching assign- ments, he has served as sehool treasurer for many years. To the ehagrin of most ol' us his Room Q23 is the perennial leader in funds collected during our welfare drives. Shorthand is a language in itself, as Mrs. Aisheiiner's first year elasses soon diseover in their ini- tial etlorts to master it. Pausing a moment from the tedious chore of summarizing qnestionaries is Mrs. ltlnssing, who teaches the Distrihutive Education elass and supervises extension training in various retail businesses in downtown Erie. 19 t't '1'5' fs , e.gz , ' X 4 i as f' A ' , . ,U 5 , JEAN ALSIIBIMICB, ILS.: Shorthand, Typing THOMAS CALDWICLL, ILS., li.1i.A.,' Business Math, Personal Typing, Sophomore Adviser, SPOKES- MAN Colleetions-MIBIAM DUNOIIUIC, 1i.S.C.: Typing-MARION ESLER, R.S.g Shorthand, Typing Jl'IANNliTTE MASSING, ILS., M.Ed.: Merchan- dising, f'hairn1an ol' Senior Advisers, Open House C0111- mittee, D.

Health, Physical Education Physical Ethic-ation has the same responsibilities and the same ohjeetives as has etlneation in general. This is aehievenl through the physical etlnc-ation classes, health classes and safety eclneation. lt, is that area of eclneation which, lmeeanse it tleals with the hotly in action, has as one of its major ainis the rlevelopnlent of a more sensitive eontrol of the hotly for more effective functioning. There is opportunity to mlevelop interest, joy, anml satisfaction in lltttlly skills: ancl these skills, in terlns of sports, health, anal safety, are inmlispensilile in school life. Performing double-duty service, Miss Marion Quigley has taken on thc assignment of teaching home nursing this year, as well as continuing in her work as school nurse. ,gli Teaching girls' physical education, coaching the cheerleaders, training the twirlers-it's all in a clay's work for our energetic Miss Wein- heimer, but it still helps to take n, breather now and then. 18
