Shorthand, Typing, Office Practice, Commercial Law, Salesnianship, Secretarial Practice. The purpose of the Try-Out course, is to give A students enough bookkeep- shorthand and typing to let them discover whether or not they are in any ing, 1 wav adapted to the course . This tends to eliminate changing courses later on in their regular high school work. Xthen a student has finished the bookkeeping course he is fitted to take a position as bookkeeper. Shorthand and Typing are popular subjects, as students realize the benelits to be derived from this knowledge. Students in Secretarial Practice do stenographic work for various organizations in the school, Office Practice is a course which aims to fit the student for general oiiice work-tiling, telephone, ditto, and mimeograph practice, as well as work on vari- ous adding or bookkeeping machines. judging by the sales talks that have been given in Salesmanship, it would nd of the twentieth centurv will see well-informed, courteous sales people everywhere-either through the direct or indirect influence of those seem that the e who have taken the course. A study of Commercial Law will show the close relationship between the law and' the individual. The student will learn to know his rights and the rights of others and will then be cautious in entering business transactions, thus avoid- ing much trouble. The basic aim of all subjects in this course is to encourage neatness, honesty responsibility, initiative, and loyalty so that students may become industrious, respected, and loyal citizens.

Mew MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT It is the aim of the mathematics department to expose the students to as many courses in mathematics as possible in the limited time which has been allowed, in the hope that some of them may take. The idea is to inoculate thcm against the difficulties of life which grow out of having insufficient mathematical knowledge to solve the problems which they must meet every day. This instruction is given in the form of courses in Applied Mathematics I, Algebra 1, H, and III, and Geoometrv I, II, and III, and Plane Trigonometry. d sb Students who complete all these courses and really try to get all they can from l tiem, will be well equipped to continue their. further studies in mathematics or to master the more usual problems which do not require additional knowledge in this subject. This department does not profess to turn out mathematical ffenii nor do 't ., . . g esi guarantee its graduates a position as an engineer in some Held in which this subject assumes the shape of a technical necessitv. However, this department does give to the student sufficient knowledge to start him on his way to college, 6 where he will receive instruction of a higher type. Page nineteen

5 , - . Y 'Q-.-H-1 Mr. Scherich, Mr, Hough, Mr. Hetherington, Mr. Evans SCIENCE Chemistry, General Science, and Physics are the subjects taught in the Science department of Central High School. General Science is required of students in their 9th years' work while Chemistry and Physics may he chosen during' either their llth or 12th year. Approximately 875 students were registered in science classes during the past year. This seem'ing'ly large enrollment is to he expected in a modern and up-to-date school when we consider the many applications of science in every day life. The study of sciences has a vocational value for many. l.ahoratory technique is an art which the students will make much use of in the jolms which they will acquire after they finish their high school course. This is particularly true of first months of their employment. They will need much information on scientific subjects, although their work might he largely manual. Scientific thinking is only another name for complete thinking. In scientific thinking, conclusions are reached hy careful analysis of the data at hand, after which these conclusions are tested hy practical application to particular cases. Page twentyfone
