BUSINESS TRAINING AND CFFICE PRACTICE Business is like baseball: the hits you made yesterday won't win the game today. -Hugh Chalmers. The last two decades have witnessed changes that make neces- sary an entirely new order of ability in business life. Those changes demand a greatly superior training. - Frank A. Vanderlip. The business student sees in the past the explanation of the pres- ent and the key to the future. -R. W. Smiley An ideal business man is one who knows how to keep his ear to the ground without lying down on the job. - I. B. Swinney. The Commercial department, under the capable administration of Mr. Roy A. Peterman for the last quarter of a century, has established an enviable record. Mr. Peterman assures us that offices of leading industries in Greater Muskegon are always happy and will- ing to receive graduates of this de- partment. Commercial arithmetic, typewriting, bookkeeping, office train- ing, are all important subjects. Com- mercial law is a course which can benefit anyone, also. Every phase of I office practice is studied in high school Miss KATHRYN REID, A.B. R. A.

HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for .the people: whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed: a democracy in a republic, a sover- eign .Nation of many sovereign States: a perfect Union one and insep- arable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and for- tunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to sup- port its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies. Our history department includes a course in world history, American his- tory, civics, and economics. The civics and economics courses each require one semester, while the two history courses require two semesters each in order to complete. A year of American history and a semester of civics are required of every student. When these courses are completed, the average student has a much broader knowledge of the world and of America and its past history, our form of government, and of social man and how he makes his living. These courses are essentials in helping every student to appreciate his heritage out of the past and to avoid the pitfalls of the future. gzpyyzpirggpsgi, AB.. n.s. Miss JULIA norss. ns.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS Science has made the world of to-day. It has created the tools of our modern life. But the Science on which we depend for all our com- forts and conveniences is no cold and remote force, acting on us imper- sonally from without. Science is human knowledge gained slowly and painstakingly by men like ourselves and applied by them to the service of mankind. All down the ages there have been moments which made history. An invention which was hardly noted at the time, save by the few far-seeing men who prejected it to us for the beginning of a new epoch in the life of man. Early man invented the wheel, modern man has invented machinery to turn the wheels of the world. -- Marion Florevzcc Lansing Science and mathematics are im- portant subjects to those students who are planning to go to college. Each of these require keen thinking and accuracy: their study will help you to acquire these virtues. These are also helpful to students who are not going to college but plan on going right to work after graduation. ln the science course is included biology, chemistry, and physics. The math course offers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced courses related to each. A foundation for these is usually ob- tained in Iunior High. l. K. THORNLEY, A.B., M.S. L. N.
