. Commercial: . . . EXPRESSIVE The commercial course offers general train- ing in practical skills. When supplemented by business or commercial college after high school, it provides a basis for training in non-professional and technical fields. The student who maintains subjects is well prepared for a job in his partic- ular field. The commercial schedule consists of three main courses. Training in secretarial courses or home economic skills is provided for girls and a business course for boys. The secretarial course consists of the follow- ing subjects: two years of typing, two years of shorthand, bookkeeping, and business math. Four years of home economics, typing, and bookkeeping are offered on the alternate schedule. Boys on the commercial course are reco- mmended to take the following: two years of mechanical drawing, general chemistry and physics, and three years of business math.

General: . . . STIMULATING The general course is a good basic edu- cation and good preparation for college if care is taken to maintain good grades and to select an appropriate program of studies in college. On this schedule are offered two years of Latin, two years of Spanish, two or three years of math, and three years of science. Typing, mechanical drawing, and home economics are offered as sixth period choices. The math courses on this schedule are Algebra I, Geometry, and Advanced Business Math. The latter is intended to be a third year math which will give a fuller background in math needed for college programs which do not emphasize matii, but do use it. Me- chanical drawing gives the boys an opportun- ity to receive primary instructions in design and in the use of precision instruments.
