The purpose of this department is to develop these young boys and girls into strong and healthy ladies and gentlemen as well as to build up sportsmanship and cooperation. The girls' curriculum consists of soccer, fieldball, basketball, soft- ball, tennis, and track. There are also formal gymnastic work and figure marching combined in these different sports. The boys' curriculum, directed by Coach Johnny Miller, consists of football, basketball, track, softball, formal gymnastic work, marching, and calisthenics. At the end of the school year these two departments combine in demonstration at a gym show. A most important factor in the progress of the school is the work done by the school nurse, Mrs. Lamb. In her office arm bruises, sore toes, and drippy noses, receive attention. Here each year eyes are tested, teeth and throats are examined, and all grade children are weighed and measured periodically, reports being sent to the parents with the report cards. With the cooperation of the local doctors, preventive serums are given for diphtheria and vaccinations for smallpox and tuberculosis. Children, whose parents are unable to afford a family dentist, have their teeth cared for by the school dentist, Dr. Wertheimer. Each morning Mrs. Lamb receives all grade children whom the teachers have found to need attention. The kindergarten children receive a complete physical examination each year. Among the many other duties of our school nurse is the superintending of the distribution of milk to the grade children at recess time. The fund is subscribed to by public spirited citizens and by local organizations. The commercial department under the instruction of Miss Lucille Quade and Mr. Earl Rizor helps to prepare the stud- ent for general office work. The courses offered in this field are general typing, which tends to develop typing for personal and vocational uses through the con- trol of the keyboard, habits of accuracy, and correct spelling, T . office practice is the continua- tion of this typing course plus the knowledge of ofiice procedure through continued practice of writing letters, mailing, filing, the use of the telephone and office machines, and the development of personal traits and correct office conduct. Also know- ledge of recording and budgeting which can be used not only by the pro- fessional man but also the housekeeper or ordinary business man, is taught. Shorthand is offered and gives the knowledge of characters and principles of shorthand and practice in taking dictation at moderate rates of speed. These subjects are directed by Miss Quade. Commercial law, which helps acquaint the student with that portion of law which is ap- plicable particularly to trade and commerce, and commercial arithmetic, which teaches the rules and methods for performing all calculations that arise out of business transactions, are taught by Mr. Rizor. Mrs. Marjorie Batchelor acts as secretary to the superintendent. l15l
