Tune in on one of our new civics courses if you Want to keep up with the times. The discussions are lively, and are about things that are vital and of immediate interest. Miss Iary says: Ulsook forward that you may fit yourself to appreciate and assist in a more progressive future. There- fore, civic responsibility becomes a core topic from which many others emerge. Safety, for example, receives great emphasis and presents a challenge that is most timely and Worth-While. All our history courses present facts in a lifef like setting, and the past becomes purposeful, as well as interesting. The present is clarified by the past. And now take this for an example .... and so Mr. Albert clinches an argument and all seem satisfied. Page 27 M x 5 .T Hiatanq l-l. R. Albert Mary Colegate Aclah Gibbons Marie Hale W. B.

Writing is creative work, but can be developed in an inf dividual who earnestly sets himself to the task. lt calls for a wide reading experience and the skill to interpret and appreciate good literature. Furthermore, in order to ex- press oneself intelligently, a continued ettort is required to develop correct speech habits and an understanding ot the qualities of good writing. Radio welcomes and rewards artistry. There's surely something on that subject. Let's consult the tiles cmd see for ourselves. Patience is usually rewarded. Page QU

Courses in bookkeeping, commercial arith- metic and law present additional business ex- perience, and alter completion ot each added course, production becomes smoother and perf tormance surer.
