l Cafeferia and Library l Provide Relaxafion for Working Minds Study hall-our favorite period-a period in which you can do plenty of nothing, or if neces- sary, plenty of delayed homework. lf work must be done, it is much easier to do it in pleasant surroundings. C. S. H. S. students are doubly fortunate, for not many schools can boast of such a library as the one of C. S. H. S. Because of its cheerful interior, indirect lighting, and a wide variety of research books, current maga- zines, novels, and non-fiction books, it is one of the most completely equipped libraries in the state. The cafeteria, Where a measly nickel can buy a lot of good food, is the most popular room of the building, Though the students may be winded after they have climbed the three flights of stairs leading to the cafeteria, they are well repaid for their labor when they bite into a hot hamburger, or take their first bite of cherry pie a la mode. The social room tells a tale of good times and fun. Who hasn't enjoyed sinking down into the soft cushions of those beautiful sofas? For this reason more committees are finding the social room a convenient place in which to meet. The superb decorations, the soft lights, and the comfortable chairs form a perfect setting for parties and teas. The group that furnishes those swell hot lunches-the cafeteria staff.

Besides typing and short- hand, the Commercial department offers such courses as Window Trimming, Commercial Law, Office Practice, Retailing, and Advertising. These courses give numerous opportunities to high school students. to both those going to college and those who plan to enter the business world. Those interested in a cooperative training job have access to these services through the cooperation of the various merchants of Colorado Springs. They receive no salary for these jobs, but they do gain valuable experience. A highlight is the Window Trimming course using the show window located in the second floor hall. Here during the year you have seen many interesting and colorful window displays built by the students. The courses offered by this department are the most demanded courses in the school. With such a varied list to choose from, there should certainly be many successful business men among us. The classes and training offered by the commercial department definitely meet the requirements needed by the business world. Every year C. S. H. S. turns out many a promising student to prove the value of its commercial department. The opportunities offered in these classes are extremely valuable to all who are enrolled in them.
