Departments of the Faculty... The commercial department is one of the largest and most important in the school. One might ask just why this is true. This question is not at all difficult to answer, since it is the commercial department which prepares the students to enter a job immediately after graduation with no further education. Certainly the advantage can easily be seen. A student graduates from high school and with only this high school training is well enough prepared to enter a job and begin immediately to earn his own living. In the commercial department, the student learns shorthand, typing, business English; these teach all that is required to hold a secretarial job, and various • other subjects essential to the student inclined to like business work. When everything is considered, it is very easy to see the great value of the commercial department. Why is English, both grammar and literature, required of all students before graduating from high school? This question is easily answered by a description of the English department and then by an explanation of its value. The importance of the English department is shown by both its size and by the fact that it is required of each student. Here the student learns grammar, the proper use of the English language, which will be very advantageous all through this life, in both writing and speaking and literature, which offers the best of the writings which already exist, and teaches the student to appreciate the finer type of literary works. All in all, it is the English department which offers to the student the education which throughout his life will aid him in self-expression. George Sherman—B. S. H. B. Scoles—B. A.

OFFICE SECRETARIES The secretaries, Misses Brown and Underwood, are, of course, indispensable to the school. Most of us have had help with our schedules from Miss Brown, and the efficiency of both of them is one thing which this school cannot be without. Since Miss Underwood is Mr. Rohleder’s private secretary, we students do not often come in direct contact with her, but by now, she is a well known individual about the school and is liked by all. HERMAN I). BISHOP Assistant Principal Mr. Bishop, our assistant principal, who helps us find solutions for our problems, who is with us in every way, seems not only a member of the faculty but also of the student body. He is tops among assistant principals. Emily Brown 15 Phyllis Underwood
