Many of the students of North, under the instruction of our commercial department, will type their way into a successful business world of tomorrow. Bookkeeping, business Knglish, comptomctry, occupational relations, office training, secretarial practice, and shorthand arc other offered business courses. The girls as well as boys in the home economics classes arc taught not only to cook anil sew hut also how to budget their allowances. Home projects arc an annual occurrence in the “homc-ec” department; they vary from weaving, shell jewelry, and meal planning to scrapbooks. Thus students get some good reference material in some phase of home making. Helen Eayrs Emma Siehl Left to right—Patricia Zaksaiki. Therata Ottan, Joanna Holt, Donna Barry. Kathleen Ma !ow;ki. 12
