COMMERCIAL The meter in which the rhythm of the commercial department flows is composed of balance and repe- tition. From the regular mechanical action of typing and the movement of making characters in short- hand to the balance of the figures in bookkeeping, there is a harmonious cadence that is completed by the guidance of our teachers. The classes that are led by Mrs. McElheny, Miss Nell Booth, and Miss Theresa Haack lpictures of Miss Booth and Miss Haack do not appear herel are de- lightful tunes for those of us who take part in them. Working after school to finish budgets in typing or to attain speed in shorthand are inflections of fun for all. The subjects we take from these teachers are in joyful tempos. We find our instructors always ready to help us with a difficult note in our work. We ex- perience much enjoyment in learning each of the tiny details in the work, for we are capably directed through these measures of studies. The commercial subjects that we take are melo- dies that shall be useful in every score of our lives, and we are happy that, if we wish, we can begin singing them now. I.

GFFICE LIBRARY CLINIC - Hortense Jenkins Nurse Janie Beall McClure Sara Milner Librarian Secretary In the Girls High office our melody flows into a har- monious pattern. Under the supervision ot Miss Sara Milner Iassisted by Miss Mary Louise Dobbsl our school runs smoothly and efficiently. Another bar ot our lite at school that adds an enchanting interlude is the library. We shall long remember the lasting patience and helpfulness ot Miss Janie Beall McClure who has guided our read- ing into more enjoyable retrains. Whenever our harmony is interrupted by a discord ot ill health or a cut finger, we are directed back on pitch by Mrs. Jenkins in the clinic. Her sympathy and understanding are welcomed by all the students. Every senior greatly appreciates the clinic and the other branches of Girls High that are outside ot our classes, and we shall always remember the warmth they have added to our schooI's rhythm. I. Miss Jeter and Mrs. Jenkins discuss the possibility ot a dental holiday. 2. Miss Milner makes a final re- port at the end ot the day. 3.
