Courses Correlate Commercial Careers Last fall manv students were disappointed who had planned to studj- shorthand or typing this last year. This was due to the crowded conditions existing in the commercial department. Of course, almost all who are taking business courses were given preference and seniors too were able to get into these classes. This shows, however, the in- creas ing realization of the importance of a knowl- edge of commercial subjects in both the business and academic worlds. The school affords many opportunities for em- ploying business skills. An office practice group works in the deans ' offices, several students do typ- ing for the yearbook and school newspaper, while other groups work for the teacliers by preparing mimeographed copies of examinations. Although shorthand and typing are the most popular subjects, bookkeeping and junior business training also prepare many of the pupils for careers. Mr. Ollee Klee.

Heads Help Hands Learn Handicraft The whir of saws, the clang of the Auto Me- chanics Shop, the strange instruments and sounds of the Radio and Electricity Shop — all these are a part of the Industrial Arts Department which func- tions under the glare of tlie shop lights in the wing at the rear of DeVilbiss. Here, too, one may find boys working busily in Mechanical or Architectural Drawing classes, in a Cabinet Making class, or in the Freshman Industrial Survey class. During the past few years, the interest of boys in the Industrial Arts program has greatly increased because of a growing awareness that it is the trained personnel who secure the best jobs. The Industrial Arts Department prepares boys for immediate em- ployment upon graduation, or for further study in their respective fields. The goal of the instructors of this department is to train each boy to become useful with his hands.

Staff Smoothes School Services The business of the school centers in the main office. Here the students ' permanent records are kept on file. Miss Lanz, Senior Clerk, lias charge of all stu- dent records. She is the one who checks all credits for graduation and issues all transcripts for colleges. Mrs. Tanber, the School Treasurer, transacts all the financial business of the school. In addition to this work, she deposits the club money and in- structs the club treasurers in keeping their books. The school attendance must be taken every day of the school year. Responsible for this is Mrs. DeMars, Attendance Clerk. The ordering and distribution of textbooks is the job of Mrs. Tippctt, Textbook Clerk. Each year new books must be ordered, and old ones rebound or discarded. Because of shortages the past several years, the obtaining of textbooks has been difficult.
