THE LANTERN ' 15 COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department has a great deal to do because it prepares both the boy and girl to face the obstacles of this wide world. Stenography, account- ing, commercial geography, and comptometry are taught in the main building and branches. If bookkeeping is taken, one may obtain a favorable position and be an efhcient secretary, when completing the four-year course. English is the main thing in business and in a commercial course, one secures a thorough knowl- edge concerning this one of the most important things in business. Shorthand and typing enables the student to take down notes in a quick and accurate manner and to type them neatly for their employer. Many clubs are formed in the Commercial Departments to make the stu- dent see the necessity of shorthand and its accuracy. Commercial Georgraphy gives the student a brief idea of the world, its natural resources, and the part the business center plays, together with commercial views of the different cities. DRAMATICS Hibbard, last semester under the direction of Mrs. Smith had a Dramatic Club, that undertook many interesting projects. Oral expression is a major subject and anyone is eligible to take it. By having a considerable and thorough course in oral expression, one can join the Dramatic Club. The Dramatic Club, with its willing members have in the past put over many successful plays like, The Charm School, Anne What's Her Name, and Seventeen Oral Expression gives the student an ability to face people in the world and talk to audience without self-consciousness. , THE HOUSEHOLD ART DEPARTMENT The two branches of Household Arts, Sewing and Cooking, have been making wonderful progress in the projects that have been undertaken this semester. The Cooking Department has adopted the Younger Sister method, by tak- ing the 7B's and trying to bring the young girls up to the Health Standard chart. They have gone on many trips to dairies and at the end of the semestei hope to have a party for both the younger and older girls. The Cooking girls have also tried to pick out boys and girls along the corridors of school and sec if they are normal or need diet or nourishment. So beware! you may be a specimen.
