Last year one of her pupils reached the semi-final rounds in the National Oratorical Tournament, while at present the debating team, winner of two state contests, is considered a strong contender for national honors. Equally impressive records are held by L. E. Biles, director of the State Champion Marching Band, and Miss Mary Frances Collier, director of the State Champion Troubadours, a mixed chorus. HISTORY History is usually considered a dry,' subject, but in the Hot Springs High School this course is one of the most interesting in the curriculum, because the instructors, Mr. M. E. Perry, Mrs. Hester Stall, and Miss Josephine Cumiskey, make it so. In this department Mrs. Stall teaches American history, business economics, and sociology, Mr. Perry and Miss Cumiskey, world history, and Miss Cumiskey, civics. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Various new courses have been added year by year to the Com- mercial Department, placing it on a par of importance with any in the school. The principle subjects are, of course, typing and short- hand, but several other phases of commercial work, such as book- keeping, commercial law, and salesmanship, are offered as minors. Instruction for all courses is provided by Miss Mary Cumiskey, and Miss Dorothy Dorr. MANUAL q TRAINING LATIN Page Ten
