COMMERCIAL Experience plays an important part in the commercial department. Stu- dents gain this practical side of their training by taking dictation and tap- ping the typewriter for teachers.

DOUGHGIRLS” A first year foods class mixes biscuits. What’s cookin’? With meatless days, rationing, and food short- ages, the homemaker isn’t living the life of Riley. Ask Miss Yauger who directs our cafe- teria. The verdicts from O. P. A. offer a real chal- lenge to foods classes. The girls are studying nutrition values and food substitutes with zest. These girls must know food values, for the cook must provide the meals which contribute to physical fitness. They are trying to learn econ- omy, too, for there must be food enough for all for us, for our army, and for others. Home-making students have followed the Red Cross nutrition and canteen courses; this allows them to be canteen aids. LEADERS IN CONSERVATION Miss Ruth Yauger, Miss Bertha Nafzger.
