lNDl STRIA.. AR'l'S . . . In order to prepare students for future positions in business, the Commercial Department, of which Mrs. Ruth Angel was the chairman, trained in subjects funda- mental in the business world - typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and general business. Students also se- cured valuable experience assisting faculty members in typing test material, filing, and other office work. An- swering the telephone, doing secretarial work, operating the switch board and mimeograph machines were but a few of the skills perfected with accurary and neatness. Expanding to meet the needs of the growing student population, the Industrial Arts Department moved into its new quarters late in 1955. With Chairman Glenn Thornstrom at the head, the department offered courses in wood, metal, and auto shop and crafts, ranging from the basic courses to the advanced work in the third year. Hand-tooled leather pocketbooks, modern bedroom sets, book cases, coffee tables and copper bowls were among the projects that the students created, demonstrating their proficiency with hand and power tools.
