FUN AND GAMES LOOKING back on our Sophomore year, we realize that our activities depended on the temperature. In the fall, since the weather was warm (above freezing! we went outside for football and field hockey. In both these games, there always seemed to be a concentration of boys and girls neor the area dividing the boys’ side from the girls' side, and very few anyplace else. We also noticed that the boys got to go back in eorlier, probably because it took them longer to get prettied up. About December we moved into the gym and on to the winter sports program which included swimming, volley ball, trompolin-ing, tumbling, wrestling (for boys only), ond badminton. Now the sexes were allowed only infrequent peeks ot each other through the door. We were limited to about one of these a week when an embarrassed boy had to run through the girls' section to bring down the baskets. As spring rolled around the gym teacher's fancy turned to baseball, baseball, baseball. So outside we went, to catch or pitch or bat or run or be an everlasting fielder.

CARBONS AND COPY BECAUSE of the economic nature of tho world today, business decisions are common practices for everyone. We ot Hopkins received excellent training for the future in this area through the wide variety of courses offered by the business department. Most of us remember botching through three carbons in that elementary typing course, but many other courses were offered in the business department such as: Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Clerical and Secretarial Office Practice, and Cooperative Training. Next year Senior Shorthand and Modern Business will be a compact shorthand course for those who can't fit a two year course into their schedules. Modern Business will be a practical, general course recommended for all. We were lucky to have had one of the most modern business departments in the state equipped with the most up-to-date business machines and teachers.
