Campaigning for Recruits Arouses Keen Enthusiasm Mr. John Arnold, head of the George Wythe Business Department, this year began a recruiting campaign to encourage more students to take bus- iness courses in preparation for their future careers. He went to Bainbridge Junior High School to ex- plain to future Chancellors the business program of- fered here. Room 104 was converted into a busi- ness department conference room. There the teach- ers were able to counsel the students and help them personally, as well as professionally, with daily prob- lems. The student teacher training program was en- larged to include two student teachers from Long- wood and two trom R.P.I. To attract widespread public attention, the de- partment constructed a showcase in front of Super- intendent H. |. Willett's office. Also a sound high school business philosophy was written to develop higher business ideals in the minds of future genera- tions. Sarah Holt, who assists Mr. John Arnold, head of the Busi- ness Department, watches as he signs NOMA certificates. What business college should | attend? ' Judy Hudson asks Glenda Gar- ner as the two survey the books and pamphlets in Mr. Arnold's office. Mr. Thompson watches closely as one of his business math students, Margaret Islip, works a problem.

UNO Girls Discover Vocations in Home Economics Class From souffles to stitches to sniffles, these prom- ising homemakers gained valuable knowledge for the active life of the twentieth-century home. ‘Look at that pile of dirty dishes, was the cry of thirty amazed girls after creating culinary delectables. The future homemakers were fascinated to see what flour, butter, sugar, and eggs could produce. In ad- dition, the fine skill which the girls displayed with needle and thread guaranteed some lucky men ex- cellent wives. Several students even made complete suits for Easter vacation.
