There are two sets which must be completed before the end of the school term. The Commercial Course consists of Shorthand, two yearsg Bookkeeping, one yearg and Typewriting, two years. There are approximately one hundred and twenty-five students enrolled in this department. After the completion of a two-year Commercial Course, a student is capable of taking up work in an office. Marshall High School has Commercial graduates who are successfully occupying responsible positions. Shorthand teaches the student to take dictation with accuracy and speed and to transcribe notes with rapidity. Shorthand is exceedingly beneficial in training the power of concentration. Speed tests given several times each week create a great deal of interest in the typing classes, as each student who attains a speed of forty, fifty, sixty, seventy or eighty words per minute, net, is awarded a pin by the typewriter companies. A district typewriting contest is held each year to determine the winner, who competes with others in the State Meet held at Columbia. ininig -Qwuinin -in asain wi-niuia suing vxninininiui, giving -505,5 -ingui, Page 14

Its study not only gives one the ability to express thoughts hitherto impossible, but develops the constructive imagination and the habit of exact thinking. The Mechanical Drawing Department of Marshall High School was first organized in 1925 and for a while was taught in connection with Manual Train- ing. The department is well equipped with twenty-four adjustable-top drawing tables with locker compartments. The instruments are furnished by the school. A textbook is used which gives instructions for the plates to be drawn. The student is given opportunity to make working drawings and blue-prints oi pro- jects constructed in the school shops. Two years of work are offered. The problems are taken from a broad held of mechanical work, including sheet metal work, machine parts, cast iron piping, cast- ings and forgings, bench woodworking, house plants, etc., correlating as much as possible with school shop work. -iuini.

Cooking was first taught in our High School last year. This year the kitchen has been equipped with many articles and the Board is hoping to complete the equipment next year. The members of the class are requested to wear as uniforms white smocks and caps. Tuesdays and Thursdays are cooking days. The other three days are devoted to taking notes, studying the different kinds of foods that are best to produce good health, washing, ironing, and cleaning up. On Thursday, December twenty-first, the first semester test was given. This was in the form of a dinner which consisted of things cooked during the year with a few dishes to complete the course.
