Commercial Department Commercial work is used almosf every day in everyone's life. Thaf probably is fhe reason 2,I92 sfudenfs are enrolled in This deparfmenf, fhe largesl' enrollmenf of any secfion in fhe school. Affer a course in bookkeeping and sfenographic work a sfudenf is pre- pared for general office work if he does nof care fo go on fo college. Adverfising and sales give an insighf info ofher vocafional possibilifies, especially sales, as fhousands enfer fhis field of work. One will encounfer Lincoln Alumni in almosf any com- mercial esfablishmenf in fhe cify. Many pupils of fhis deparfmenf ob- fain real experience by working in fhe office and helping Miss Washbuu'n: many ioin fhe business sfaffs of fhe sfudenf publicafions, The Lincoln News and The Lincolnian. Science In our science deparfmenf are handled such subiecfs as biology, chemisfry, physics, agricul- fure, efc. Each year fhe sfudenfs inferesfed in fhe pres- ervofion of our foresfs make a frip fo some area designafed by lhe Foresfry Deparfmenf of our governmenf as desirable for reforesfrafion. One such area has already been filled, and we are soon +o receive anofher. Miss Kelley wifh her sfaff of science insfruc- fors provide many opporfunifies for sfudenfs who are looking forward fo a fufure in fhe scien- 'rific world. Home Economics Can she make a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy? Can she make a cherry pie, charming Billy? She can make a cherry pie, quick as a caf can wink her eye - If you have noi already found fhis ouf, you mighf verify if by asking some of fhe eighfy lads who elecfed fo learn how fo selecf food wisely, markef economically, and prepare wholesome meals. The lassies' inferesfs are as wide aparf as bandaging shop casualfies and culfivafing arfisfic inferesfs. Their direcfors in fhe arf of living are Pru- denfia B. Sowell, Zaidee E.
