This is perhaps the most outstanding: innovation in the high school commercial department of the current year. Through the active cooperation of business managers and the very able contact work of Miss Holman, the apprentice idea has been applied to those trained for secre- tarial duties. The fine thing' about such training is that the student earns while learn- ing, grows in self-assurance and poise, and receives that experience which will later prove of great value in regular positions. The commercial department is ,glad to take advantage of such an opportunity to serve both public and students. Physical Education Athletic training' is a compulsory part of every student's education in M. C. H. S. In taking it, he not only develops muscular control and poise and builds up a strong, healthy body, but also he develops his personality by mingling: with other students of the same age in the great democracy of sport. The boys and girls of our school are very fortunate in that we have such a spacious and well equipped gymnasium and competent instructors. A wide variety of gymnastic activities is offered including' the organized games---f baseball, basketball, volley ball, and tennis.
