Through the use of maps, globes, and Scrapbooks, our boys and girls learn about the many different countries in the world, where they are situated, and the cus- toms of the people and how they affect us. Typing, shorthand, business arithmetic, and commercial law are subjects which belong in the commercial department. These courses are offered to students who plan to go to business college, or enter some field of work that requires a commercial background. Standing: Charles F. Greiner, john J. Mellett, Frank D.

They are kept busy each day preparing the special dinners, serving these dinners during the five lunch periods, and cleaning up the cafeteria after the students are finished eating. They arrive early each morning and under the direc- tion of Mrs. Durbin, who replaced Miss Mul- holland, work quickly and efficiently to get everything ready for lunch. Students owe their appetizing and healthful lunches to these cafeteria workers. The job of keeping Baldwin neat and clean goes to the men and women janitors. VVorking in shifts they clean all the halls, steps, and classrooms in the school, empty waste paper baskets, and do other odd jobs, such as replacing light bulbs, washing win- dows, and doing simple carpentry. The cus- todians see to it that the school is always kept warm during winter and often spend most of their time in the boiler room making this possible.
