if Lg Cookin' with gas t 'T'g,, A . A perfect fit Domestic Specialists Those savory odors stealing from the foods room these last few days are the result of weeks of studying foods and planning menus. The attractive showcase decorations have included examples of balanced meals, suggestions for inf teresting party themes, and methods of dyeing Easter eggs. At Christmas time the girls busted themselves making boxes of candy for servicef men, and later made soft desserts, attractive salads, and fancy cookies. The girls in the clothing department have worked with cottons, rayons, and wools, and many lovely creations have come from their labors. At Christmas they tried their skill at hanf dicraft by remodeling old wornout toys for small children. Miss Margaret Snow took over the homemaking duties shortly after mid-term.

Gregg speedsters Debits and credits White-Collar Trainees Commercial subjects have an important part and a very essential one in many of the students' programs at this time because of the lack of help in downtown offices. Some students prefer book- keeping, while others enjoy typing and short' hand. Two years each of shorthand and typing are offered and one year of bookkeeping. ln the second-year shorthand class the stu- dents who pass 60, 80, or lOU-word dictattons re- ceive certificates. ln previous years pins were awarded to the students but, because of the shortage of metals, certificates are awarded in their place. The Commercial club was organized October 24 for those students taking commercial subjects. The club met every two weeks. Bonnie Wedder- burn was chosen president, Lucille Lee, vice- president, Martha Hasman, secretaryg and Bar- bara Macklin, treasurer. Seventeen members joined, all girls. Under the supervision of Miss Norris, the girls had a pleasant year. At one of their fall meetings Mr. Frank Kingston presented Commercial club them with a movie and talked about Indians of Florida and their home life and customs. As an all-year job the girls aided the local Botary club by writing letters to lonia soldiers and sailors, giving them information about their home town and sending them pictures and addresses of their friends who are in the service. These patriotic typists were named the Victory club. ln the social line, the l'Commercials' had two theatre parties and a bowling party. ln the month of March, which was pretty breezy, the girls took an over-night trip to Woodard Lake, where they had plenty of fun. To end the year the l'Com- mercialsu journeyed to lohn Ball park in Grand Rapids, where they took in the amusements. Commercial club members at the end of the year were Loraine Kohn, Lucille Lee, Doris French, Lorraine Darnell, Bonnie Wedderburn, Belvey Schroeder, Elnora Minaker, lanice Donal- son, Dorothy Kenny, Marie Coates, Doris Bane hagel, Martha f-lasman, Barbara Macklin, Esther Tafel, and Geraldine Stout.
