To be a member of this club, you must be taking at least two commercial subjects and be willing to attend meetings regularly.

The fall semester found the Com- mercial Club concentrating their thoughts on a yery interesting subject gour allies. Each meeting was de- yoted to a certain country that is close- ly connected with the United States. llighlighting these meetings were talks given by members of the faculty on subjects which they are well ac- quainted.

Fncsr Ain AND Host:-. Xeitsme N1u'.v1'11g 011 lhe hmm' front MEDICINE Home Nursing-A course which has been recently added in XVash- burn is that ot Home Nursing. It is taught by our school nurse, Mrs. Annette lielanger, and is sponsored by the American Red Cross. The course lasts six weeks, and thirty hours are required in order to re- ceive the Home Nursing Certificate. The course is not compulsory, and Mrs. llelanger believes that the classes are more successful and that the girls learn more il, they are not compelled to take it. The marlis for the course are includegl in the gym record. The girls learn how to till hot Water bottles, apply ice bags. sterile packs, and how to make beds with patients in them. They also study the simple procedure of home care and the care of babies. First Aid+The First Aid course has only been given in VVashburn for the last few years. For the Red Cross certificate, twenty-four ses- sions are required. Most of the girls have taken Hrst aid in junior high, but this spring there are ten girls taking thc course. A certificate is re- quired to graduate, so the classes are usually composed of transfers from other schools and girls who for some reason did not take it in junior high or tailed to pass it. The course is more extensive than the one in junior high, as in VVashburn we teach the Standard course. which is for persons sixteen years or older. The tall course is taught by Miss Bowen and the spring course by Miss Thurston, as each has to teach one course a year to keep her right to teach. 1 INTERPRETERS XVashburn, with the largest foreign language departments in the city, olliers its students a two-year course in Spanl ish, French, and German and a liour- year course in Latin. l'Parlez-vous lranl cais? and Sprechen Sie Deutschiii are the first vvords taught by Nille.
