Commercial Department History of thf Department W ITH the session of 1918, the business course became a part of the regular curriculum at L. H. S. The installation of this department was made possible by a legacy of $10,000 left to tbe high school by Mr. A. L. Koones of this town. The first session of the business course opened with an en- rollment of thirteen students, and Miss Agnes Adair as instructress. Shorthand, bookkeeping, typewriting, and commercial arithmetic were the subjects taught. All of the classes were conducted in one small room, and one class practiced type- writing, while another took dictation. Of the first year’s enrollment, eight secured positions. Since the establishment of the commercial department, the class room has been greatly enlarged, additional typewriters installed, and other improvements made. This phase of high school work is steadily growing and has become a real credit to the school. During the seven years of its existence, seventy-eight stu- dents have graduated from the department, fifty of whom secured positions. [ 24 ]
