Business trains us 121' ofjqce work. The Business Department prepares students who usually wish to enter the field of business immediately after graduation. Among the courses offered, bookkeeping and stenography are probably the most valuable to the future office worker. Of course, every student in any curriculum realizes the value of typing skill. Our splendid Business teachers succeed in making classes interesting as well as educational. Even students not in the Busi- ness course find this world of adding machines, mimeograph machines, and dictaphones quite intriguing. The Business students themselves are, of course, the first to appreciate the knowledge they gained in Commercial Arithmetic or Office Practiceg for they are the people who will make our big business concerns, factories, and stores run smoothly and efficiently.

Many students find the various science courses fascinating. Dissecting a frog, preparing oxygen, analyzing a solution, or demonstrating a system of levers are activities symbolizing the various courses offered in the scientific held.
