STRONG HEALTHY, HAPPY STUDENTS . . . The Aim of Our Physical Education Department BOWN the halls, from the locker rooms come the shuffle, laughter, and general turmoil of students preparing for gym classes, and practice for our various sports. Whether it be calisthenics, basketball, football, or various other games, these students possess a desire to better themselves in their activities, to relax, to attain a better sense of body co-ordination, and to learn the very valuable lessons of good sportsmanship that come with all games. Our gym instructors emphasize personal physical fitness, the unity of team work, fair play, and above all integrity of character and good sportsmanship in all play and in all games, no matter what the sport may be. They feel that these lessons learned on the playing field carry over into the greater and more serious game of life. Here We see Red Cyclones as graceful ballet dancers. These boys love the trampoline bounce. Mrs. Sara McLemore, girls' physical education teacher and Mr. R. E. Wilson, the boys' instruc- tor in a happy frame of mind in the gym. C Physical exercise is as vital as mental training

COMMERCE STUDENTS PREPARE FOR WORK-A-DAY WORLD UR MODERN business world in spite of all its complex machines, depends upon excellent, efficient secretaries and typists. Many of our students find good positions upon graduation, while others further their business education in colleges and business schools. Our apprentice bookkeepers realize that neatness and ac- curacy are prime requisites of a competent bookkeeper. We strive to keep records without errors. We learn to make open- ing entries in journals, record income expenses, and prepare trial balances. We compare work sheets, profit and loss state- ments and compose income and expense accounts. We learn actual accounting operations and how to keep pay roll records. All of these experiences help prepare us for a competent place in the business world. In typing and shorthand we are most familiar with the old adage, practice makes perfect. Through our first year we are taught that accuracy is needed and later emphasis is placed upon speed. 'Transcribe and dictation is the expression. We point with pride to our excellent business department. It is well equipped, well satisfied, and a most pleasant place to learn a very valuable profession. - ' ' x t. ii. . W ' vu-N.. l 'V , 2 Y' ' Q L Q Q if ' I K ,gf Q be 'S - v .
