Now, in order to create a still deeper interest and more sin- cere pleasure in the pursuit of this study, the department is making tentative plans for changes in the curriculum for next year.

HILDUR SODERMAN The commodious oflices in New Bloom require much more official responsibility, but Miss So- derman meets each new occasion with the quiet graciousness that has always characterized her. Now a familiar figure in her role as acting secre- tary to the principal, many hours are devoted to general supervision of all records, tabulating hon- ors, and giving necessary information to the teachers. M I-' STELLA LEACH What our ofHcial bookkeeper, Mr. Wilson, would do without his assistant, Stella Leach, cannot be conceived as we watch her at her desk keeping our financial house in order. Checking records of the treasurers of organizations, receipt- ing payments, writing checks, and balancing all monies handled during the year is a real job. HARRIET KRUSE The additional demands for announcements concerning the varied activities and the larger schedule adopted keep Harriet Kruse busy. While checking daily attendance and mimeographing daily bulletins is her chief duty, she willingly responds to special calls from the faculty. I3

Theobald ociaf Science apartment A department of supreme interest to the student throughout his four years in high school is the Social Science Department. Civics, studied in his first year, precedes the various kinds of history-ancient, modern, and American. Advanced Government and Economics may be taken as Senior electives. X ' Under the directorship of Miss Smith and a competent staff of assistants, the students obtain a very usable store of knowledge in history, the forms of government, and man,s various business relations. Without the use of the library, this department could hardly have carried on, for each subject requires extra reading, which only our very efficient library can offer. This department turns out students who are far more capable of attacking the prob- lems of social and economic life than the ordinary person. Adeline M.
