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. The members of the cooking class are: Dorothy Bailey, Virginia Buie, Helen Claycomb, Frances Patterson, Corinne Staub, Virginia Peterson, Helen Staub, Adeline Williams, Katherine Jacoby, Agnes Ridge, Dorothy Thomas, Anna Eaheart, Mary Louise Howard, Mildred Small, Margaret Vineyard, Jewell West, Florence Yowell, Goldean Masters. -50505 Quint ,in-ini, 1. ,ing 141505, -in-suis fin-ns.nLn fini-ui- viuiuxq 'inane Page 15 1 I n S I I

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

The work in this Department is divided into two classes: First, the study of live stock, crops, soils and horticulture, with practical Work in feed- ing, breeding, use of fertilizers, Crops and varieties best adapted to maintaining soil fertilityg and actual work in the pruning of fruit trees and the raising of various berries. The second distinct class or type of Work is called farm shop practice, which consists of actual practice in carpentry, iron Working, and leather working. The student is encouraged to repair and construct equipment that is used on the farm, Wagon-beds, self-feeders, and single and double-trees are a few of the many articles made.
