COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT HE Commercial Department of Heights offers a variety of courses all of which give the stu- dent an opportunity for exceptional training in various Helds of business. The courses include one year of Commercial Law and Commercial Mathe- matics, and one semester of Commercial English. Two-year courses are also offered in typing, short- hand, and bookkeeping. Therefore, it is possible for a student to obtain either a major or a minor in this field. It is also permitted for a pupil to take a one-semester typing course for which he re- ceives no credit, but gets the basic training needed to type efficiently. Typing has been so popular at Heights during the last several years that it has been necessary at times to limit this course to seniors and juniors. The department, under the able direction of Mr. P. A. Cooley, has arranged such a program so that it will prove to be very beneficial not only to those students planning to go into business immediately, but also to those who are contemplating a college education.

Biology is considered a sopho- more subject, and the boys and girls taking it learn about living things. Chemistry, always important but more so now, is a very popular subject at Heights. Because of its intense popularity it has been necessary for the students desiring the course to take examinations to determine their ability to carry the subject. Here students are taught about the mysteries of compounds, elements and mixtures. Heat, sound, light, mechanics, and electricity are the topics which are studied in Physics. Today, girls are taking a new interest in the field of science. With so great a number of important positions being left by men in the service, new op- -portunities are presented each day. Due to this fact all of the teachers of the sciences here at Heights are making a greater effort to teach the boys the necessary and important facts that they need to help them in the service of their country, and en- able the girls to carry on their vacated positions.

Ege PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HIS year, more than ever before, physical edu- cation plays a prominent part in the Heights curriculum. This is true, for it is our duty to be as physically fit as possible in these troubled times. The vernacular of Heights he-man is today full of such Words as chinning, push-ups, rolls and rope climbing. The gym and swim instructors are en- deavoring to toughen up our Heights boys in every possible Way in order to see that they are fit to enter the service. The girls, not to be outdone, also have an exten- sive physical program. Hockey, Marching, Exer- cises, Basketball and Baseball are the intensified sports. Swimming. as always, is required and stressed. After school sports for Sophomore, .lun- ior and Senior girls are carrying on as usual. Checking each student's health is the task of the school nurse. Once during the year each boy and girl is given an examination by Doctor Lockhart. This year Mrs. Bennett, our capable nurse, also assisted in the Tubercular tests which were given to all seniors. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT OW as never before, the study and under- standing of mathematics is stressed at Heights for both boys and girls. It promotes clear and ac- curate thinking and skill in mathematical computa- tion. It also promotes an ability to apply the mathematical fundamentals and principles to prac- tical problems. The department is under the able direction of Mr. Ralph Fraunfelter. Plane geometry is taken by the majority of sophomores. In the Junior year if the student is planning to enter college he con- tinues his math with a semester of advanced algebra and solid geometry. Trigonometry is also offered. Courses in refresher math and pre-flight aero- nautics are oHfered to those students Who are con- templating active service in U. S. Forces. Heights math teachers have prepared students exceptionally Well for any phase of work in the future. If the student is planning on going to college, or Working, or if he is going into some branch of the service, he will have a good background in the field of mathe- matics.

Previously, professionals did the work, but were unavailable this year. The boys deserve much credit for their fine results and for helping to make possible the 1944 Caldron.
