ENGLISH AND LITERATURE.. Oh My Aching Head! Dictionaries and Thanatopsis may sound pretty uninteresting to us now, but by the time we're all settled into our various professions and enterprises, we'll be thankful that we have that strong foundation in the use of the English language, for it is necessary to everyone of us, no matter what career we may choose. A secretary, for instance, who tells her boss that she never didn't get no letter from they, isn't never going to have no job for long. And what kind of doctor would a man be if he couldn't spell? Clerks in stores, traffic officers, professional artists and Fuller brush salesmen - none of them can do their work without talking, and they'll thank their English teachers that the right words are being used at the right time. The library of M. H. S. is something to be very happy about. Novels and short stories, newspapers, biographies - all are there, and all are important in teaching us the true value of good literature. 8

Poclzeta, Poclzeta, Pocketa COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT.. Each Her Own Yes sir, Mr. Morgenthau, I'll tell him . . Of course, Mr. Rockefeller, anything you say . . When do you want this mailed, Mr. GoldWyn? How do people get jobs like that? One thing is certain. They surely are experts at typing and shorthand. Per- haps, no M. H. S. student will ever be typing letters for Sam Goldwyn, but you can bet your bottom dollar that some of them will be typing letters for someone. They wouldn't be, if it hadn't been for the Commercial Department in M. H. S. This Co-op business is a pretty Wonderful thing. It offers you an opportunity to put your knowledge to work, and what could be better than learning something and being able to put it to immediate use? By the time co ops ar t f . - e ou o high school, there are usually full-time jobs waiting for them, and they are ready to take their places in the business World. 10
