THE SPUD 25 As the Rchool year of 1914-15 draws to a close, the last issue of the “Spud” published under the direction of the present staff is placed in the hands of our readers. We have put forth our best efforts during the year just passed to make our paper typical of the school it represents. It is as yet, practically a new periodical, but lias been excellently supported by the high school body, the faculty, and the townspeople. As the staff is chosen from the entire high school, only a few of the members are graduating this year. We hope that next year, the student body will be just as loyal in aiding the publication of the “Spud” and make it even more successful than it has been this year. A full measure of success cannot be achieved without enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the contributing factor of any finished product. The best clerks, the most resourceful managers are always filled with enthusiasm. When you are master of yourself, you are in better position to master a situation. When a position calls for everlasting hard work, and you fail to work, you are not master of yourself, nor can you expect to master the situation. Get your blood filled with the virus oi enthusiasm. —Selected. Work is often the father of pleasure. Pity the man overwhelmed with the weight of his own leisure.Happiness is a good that nature sells us. —Voltaire. The dreams of those who labor are the only ones that ever come true. —Selected. It’s good to have money, and the things that money can buy; but it’s good, too, to check up once in a whib and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy. —Exchange. The first degree of folly is to concede one’s self wise: the second to profess it; the third to dispise counsel. —Franklin.

26 THE SPUD First Year Shorthand Class at Work Business Course The Commercial department was introduced into the high school in 1913 and has proved to he one of the most popular departments in the school. The curriculum is two years in length and offers work in English, Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, Writing, Spelling, Shorthand, and Typewriting. There are now twelve typewriters in the department and all of them are constantly in use. Students completing this work are given a diploma of graduation from the Commercial Department of the High School. Many students, however, who are not enrolled in the Commercial department are taking some subjects from this curriculum as electives, principally shorthand and typewriting.
