Knowledge was received by each student in elementary business. Most of this infor- mation was obtained in regular mathema- tics. courses. Each student should have learned to keep simple, personal accounts, interpret business forms, understand the principles governing the payment of taxes, and to budget his income. Business train- ing is not composed of stenography and typewriting alone but of a variety of re- lated subjects dealing with business methods and ideas. In 1937 our band was completely uniformed including color guards, drum majors, and majorettes. The fact that the entire band was uniformed and the cost was met by the efforts of the private citizens was a great tribute to those who participated. The uniforms cost more than 352, 000. MHS joins national war defense savings program. Selling of war stamps and bonds was sponsored by the History Club. We received several certificates of awards and merit from the National War Finance Committee for the fine way our school carried out its program of war stamps and bond sales. The sales took place every morning and noon in the main entrance. Until 1945 the sales totaled 34, 531. 55 and by 1946 we had accumulated an additional 351, 941. 95 to make a total of 856,4'73. 50.

Typing 11 students had ro pass 56-60 words per minute with no errors. In 1940 there were 27 typewriters, a new mimeoscope, and a new mimeograph machine in the commercial department. The EDA Society was composed of girls from the eighth grade cooking class. In 1940 the associa- tion was under the supervision of Miss McEvoy. The society's main aim was to remodel the apart ment to the best of its ability. They also per- formed the task of serving lunch to the school students several times. 1 l
