I4 THE llltill SC H OOL ANNUAL The aim of this department is wholly along practical lines. lt seeks to create a thorough business- likc attitude and atmosphere which will breed business-like habits in method. manner, and deportment. lt strives to cultivate the ideas of busi- ness honor, courtesy. and develop self-reliance and common sense. A Commercial Course should be such that its graduates can pass directly from the school into actual business life and feel no abrupt change. Even to those who never intend to take a business position the knowledge gained by this course should be in- valuable. Despite the inconveniences to which our Department has been subjected on account of our poor and crowded quaiters. by faithful and conscientious work, good results have been ob- tained. XX hen we have our new build- ing with all the latest improvements we expect to accomplish still better results. The Commercial Course consists of two years' work. The first year is devoted to Bookkeeping, Typewriting, Commercial Arithmetic. Spelling. Pen- manship and Englishg the second year to Bookkeeping, Typewriting, Short- hand, Commercial Geography, Com- mercial Law, Correspondence, and English. From this, one can see that the Commercial Department presents rather a complete business course and that our graduates should go forth with a thorough working knowledge of the Commercial subjects. J. G. '07 ATHLETIC IN L. U. H. S. During the term of 1906 and '07 very httle has been accomplished ill athletics. Last year many of our best boys left school and at the begin- ning of this year others were obliged to give up their course in this school. lt is to be hoped that in the future our boys will show more interest along the line of sports than has hith- erto been shown. XYe had but one game of baseball this year. That was with Mount Dia- blo Union lligh on Sept. 15th, and resulted in the score: Mt. Diablo 20. Liberty 17. The boys played a lively game and from the indications at the close of the fifth inning were sure of victory. Ilut it was after this that the Concord umpire did his good work and of course. our boys couldn't beat ten men. t Before the game ditmer was served in Coate's Hall, where all sorts of good things were served. The boys all had a fine time seeing how much chicken and fruit they could hide. The boys told me this as I cannot vouch for its authenticity. lf it's all trite the boys should feel very grateful toward the girls who. of course. did the cooking? tl scrubbed the Hoof., Considerable interest has been aroused recently in handball. We have had several closely contested games for candy rewards, and for the championship. lt is not decided yet who are the champi-ons for the year as there are still three sets with about equal chances competing for the honor. These sets are: Robert Wal- lace and VVilliam Morgansg Leo 0'llara and Harold Swiftg James Barkley and Ray Shafer. H. L. S., '07, ' 3'8-
