This year color mimeographing has been tried with a great deal of success. A simple card index filing set gives the fundamentals of filing, so that the student should be able to meet these requirements in the office into which he will go. The typing department is perhaps the most popular. There are about one hundred students taking typing, learning how to write business letters, rough drafts, legal work, manuscripts, business forms, and of course, speed tests! ln the advanced class all the stencils are cut, the newspaper work, tests, bulletins, etc., are done. The be- ginning students in typing, those who started at the mid- year, are now listening for Ready, begin! A tinkle of a bell and their speed test is over! ln this class are the girls who work downtown as part- time students, competently holding down jobs as well as doing school work and extra-curricular activities. Re- cently this class attended the court session and experi- enced actual court reporting. During the winter months the shorthand students worked hard on the annual O. G. A. contest. For the cover of the work submitted they used a picture of the Fort Peck dam. This contest is held each year by the Gregg company and competitors from Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, Cuba, the Philippines, England and the United States take part. The results of this con- test will be announced some time during May. Many students are working on the expert speeds of 120 and l40 words per minute. By the end of the term we hope to have someone working on the l6O-word test. Sixty days after date I promise to pay. How does he know he'll get his money? That is one of the intrica- cies of bookkeeping that students are in the process of unravelling. Bookkeeping not only consists of learning how to keep records, it also gives the students informa- tion how present day business is transacted. They learn that, according to business standards, credit is a favor granted to those who do not abuse the privilege and the firms who continue in business are the solid ones who have the respect and confidence of their business asso- ciates. ln this age of highly trained workmen and keen com- petition it is harder than ever to make the grade of being a success. The General Business Training students are learning the importance of developing good character qualities and thus are forming pleasing personalities, one of the essential aids to success. Training and efficiency are necessary, but will not stand the test alone. A bird's- eye view of how modern business, in all its aspects, is conducted, is presented in this course. The Commercial Department, proud to be one of the vocational departments of Glasgow High School, is al- ways at the service of the school! PART-TIME C0-OPERATIVE REVIEWED Glasgow boasts of one of the best part-time co-opera- tive groups in the state, with a total of 30 students placed in distributive education. They are in retail houses, print shops, offices, confectionaries, garages and banks. The course of study followed is perhaps the most ad- vanced of any in the state, with a greater number of students enrolled. This is possible through the efforts and able supervision of Mack Monaco, head of this vocation- al training department. The course consists of two major topics, retail selling and retail relations. The former deals with the different types of retail concerns, nature of sel- ling, knowledge of goods, psychology of selling, selling fContinued on Page l4.J

The latter stresses such topics as business relationships, men- tal aptitudes, finding and applying for positions, business manners, how to make the most of our differences, phy- sical requirements and correct attire for work in the dif- ferent l.ines of businesses, Students attend school in the morning and work up town in the afternoon, competently holding down their respective positions. They receive a small salary and val- uable experience in exchange for their time and services. Recently each member of th group gave two talks. Th first consisted of a description and facts about some certain selected type of merchandise: the second, a sales of the goods, Pictures were demonstration, including the presentation the selling points and closing of the sale. taken of a number of these reports by Mr. Breen and are to be sent to the Vocational department in Helena for use and displays.

HOMIE EC Slidel Crashl Bangl Clumpl Don't get excited, it's only the Home Ec girls Washing the dishes after serving the Chamber of Commerce or the F. F. A. banquet .... No doubt you have heard. These girls, wit'h all their shiny new sinks, stoves, tables and stuff and things, can really cook. Just ask one of the boys who attended the Father and Son banquet, l'm sure they'll know. The Home Econornics Club, under the direction of Miss Foss, has fifty members. The officers elected for this year are: Laura Bell, president: Mary Ann Dillon, vice president: Ethel Conatser, treasurer, and Helen Lambert, secretary. The club belongs to the American Home Economic Association and also to the Montana Home Economic Association. Miss Lelia Massey, who is the supervisor of Home Economics of the state, was here in February and was well pleased with the accom- plishments of the Home Economics Department. Miss Foss, the sponsor of the Home Economics Club, has done some commendable work as director of this Home Ec department. She renders the right attitude of hospitality as a Home Ee teacher. Lest you have forgot- ten, take .a look in the Home Ec Department. The money which the Home Economics Club earned last year was spent this year with the purchase of 380.00 worth of dishes and silverware, thereby equipping the department with enough china to serve two hundred or more. The Home Economics Club dressed .about thirty-five dolls for the Christmas baskets. Musta been fun. Most of these dolls were badly in need of some clothes, but after going through the hands of the Home Ec girls, how happy any little girl would be to receive one of these brightly-groomed dolls! Of course, these aren't the only things the smart Home Ec girls have done. They have studied child care and training, consumers' problems, house care and furnish- ings, 'home management, home nursing, care and repair of clothing, family and social relationship, and person- ality development. These ambitious Home Ec girls cook and sew day after day, and Heaven knows that they know enough. They fed the Chamber of Commerce, the Future Farm- ers and plan to have a tea for the mothers this spring. Their climax for the season is the big event of the year. They have been given the responsibility of prepar- ing and serving the Junior-Senior Prom banquet. All in all, we are very pleased with this department. F. F. A. The Future Farmers of America of Glasgow are af- filiated with the organizations of the same name which are in operation all over the United States. A definite program is followed each year. Meetings are carried on under the correct parliamentary law, with a lunch in- cluded at each meeting. The present officers are: John Forsythe, president: Kenneth Miller, vice president: Walter Cornwell, secre- tary: Gale Billingsley, treasurer, and Warren Hanna, advisor. Among their many activities this year the Glasgow boys attended the meeting of the Milk River district held at H'nsdale in October. They placed first in poultry judging, second in livestock judging and second in all events. ln February, a I5-minute program was presented over KGCX at Wolf Point. , The local chapter held its annual Fathers and Sons banquet on March 8. This banquet was attended by 80 fathers and sons as well as a number of guests. The Home Economics II girls served the dinner. Mr. R. E. Bodley, county agent, and H. L. Lantz of Malta were the speakers. The boys in the shop classes have repaired farm ma- chinery and trucks. They have also received instructions in forge work, acetylene welding and wood work, con- crete and farm surveying. They have constructed seed grain treaters and poultry and swine feeders. At present grasshopper bait spread- ers are being planned. Paul Wesen and Gale Billingsley received rings for having outstanding projects during I938.
