ADMINISTRATIUN MISS EICHELBERGER - MR. KEENER - MR. PARSONS MR. KELLER - MRS. RAILING COMMERCIAL TI IE field ol' business has long been the realization of success for those who were interested in its many aspects. Today, various phases have been added to business so that almost anyone can find a personal interest in commercial work ol' one type or another. However, the importance ol' eliicient business peo- ple is unparalleled even now in a time ol' great demand for these workers.

Experience is of basic importance to obtain good results in tl1e teaching of commercial work, and two of our fac- ulty members who have been sending well-trained ollice workers, especially secretaries, into the business world are Mr. Edgar E. Keller and Miss Anna E. Read. Mr. Keller is important as treas- urer of all school finances. He attended Rochester Business Institute and the VVharton Extension School.

In our physics and chemistry we divided our time between problems involving mathematics that seemed to be insolvable, and laboratory work in which our Bunsen-burners seemed to delight in playing strange ranks at a crucial moment, usually when both hands were full of test tubes and some strange looking mixture was trying to reach the boiling point. De- spite our almost daily difhculties, many of us have developed scientific interests that may lead us into the fields of medicine, meteorology, electricity, and the countless branches of chemistry. After the war, unbelievable advances are sure to be made in all kinds of scientific work, especially in the treat- ment and prevention of disease, and in the wonderful varieties of substitutes lior almost every type of goods, all the work of our countryls chemists. The members of the faculty who teach our scientific subjects are familiar to all of us, and are among the most popular instructors in Iohn Harris. hir. VValter Bunderman has always been admired for his seemingly endless pa- tience, and the helpful and under- standing attitude with which be guides his students through a thorough and comprehensive course in chemistry. hir. Bunderman has B. A., M. A., and Ph. D. degrees and has studied at
