Business methods, bookkeeping, business management, office practice, short- hand, typewriting, business English, commercial law, and business principles are the different subiects which make up the complete commercial program. ln the senior year, commercial students may continue the regular commercial program or they may enroll in the commercial co-operative class, which includes work experience in their training. For the past six years the co-op class has averaged twenty-tive students per year. Many of our students passed the Civil Service examinations in May and received appointments to government positions. Have you noticed those good-looking gold pins some of the seniors are wearing? They are award pins and indicate proficiency in type- writing, shorthand, or bookkeeping. Advanced class in ABC's, I0 l

From the first cymbal crash in September till summer vacation the band marches, counter-marches, twirls, perspires, and sends little tingles up and down one's spine. Everyone enioys Miss Ewing's music classes so much that arising an hour earlier to sing in the choir and glee clubs is a mere nothing to her students compared to their enioyment of their work. The third part of this department is build- ing some strong muscles too. Sandwiched in be- tween drawing, painting, sculptoring, crafts, and commercial art is the making of posters, which have helped to put over practically every proiect N. H. S. has ever undertaken. Nearly a half thousand are made each year. The exist- ence of these interests stimulates the activities of the student body. Look at our blooming Rembrandts! 9

Blayne Miller. ai., The Department ot English works upon the principle that it affords an Open Sesame to each and every student in his chosen field. It endeavors to develop in him such skill as will make easier his attack upon his other studies and will prepare him for advance study. Busi- ness English and special courses are planned to meet the needs of special pupils-remedial, vocational, and occupational. The course in literature introduces the student to some of the l I all best writers and strives to lead him into the habit of reading for his own pleasure, as well as for his improvement. Those who plan and execute these courses believe that a high standard in the use of his native language, whether spoken or written, furthers the equipment of the student for his own advancement and that the adoption of such a standard contributes to a better tone in his community. After all, this is English Class! ll
