Ralph Blair Lucy Schoenig Commercial Department ' HiLE the primary aim of the Commercial Department is to prepare our high school students to take a place in the business world, still we realize that many of those who take our work will never do office work. We are trying to instruct this latter group in such a manner that they may be able to conduct their own business affairs in a more systematic manner and thereby live in closer harmony with other people and become better citizens of this great commercial nation, said Mr. Ralph Blair, head of the Commercial Department. The department consists of the following classes: Business Arithmetic, Penman- ship and Spelling, Commercial Geography, Shorthand, Typewriting, Business Forms, Office Practice, Advertising, Salesmanship, and Bookkeeping. At present there are seventeen teachers in the department, Mrs. Berdie Flegal having been added as a Typewriting teacher this last year. There are eighty-four classes enrolled which brings approximately 2,100 pupils into the department. This is an increase over last year, and shows that the commercial department is rapidly pro- gressing. IS ' jrway, Sweden, Deniiiark. Page Tv-rnly-lour Stenrjgs — ; the process of development. |l

It gives students an understanding of the present, Avhich is the fruit of the past, and the germ of the future. Besides-helping stu- dents to become a part of the social world, history is the branch of knowl- edge that records and explains past events as steps in human progress. The maps which Mr. Rutenbeck originated are a great help in vitalizing the facts of the lesson, and help to fix them in the mind. Teachers of the science department strive to teach the student to organize facts which he meets in every day life into the great subject of science, says Mr. Harvey Drake, head of the department which enrolls 1,425 students. General science, a Freshman study, covers some physics, chemistry, biologv, astron- omy, physiology and physiography. To teach sophomores to be good citizens, by giving them a knowledge of general health is the goal of the biology teachers. Chemistry is taught to Juniors to acquaint them with various chemical processes in life, industry, and the arts. Mechanics — heat, electricity, sound, light — are the di ' isions under which seniors are taught Physics. Through General Science, and laboratory ork in Biology, Physics, and Chem- istry, the work of the department is further carried out. PPSMS Hr u W ' B ' ' j y b) In p cJ H m i wj Civin?
