Shorthand, Business Training 20 The Stepping Stone to Industry 1 Where can one find a better start for a business career than in the com- mercial department of Paris High School? All of the would-be secre- taries, bookkeepers, and accountants may begin the study of their chosen vocation as freshmen by taking busi- ness training. Next is a two-year course of shorthand and typing. The first year classes are taught by Miss Steidl and Mr. Cottingham, while the ad- vanced students are taught by Miss Wright. Besides teaching these classes Miss Wright is also the faculty ad- visor for the Arena. A one-year course in bookkeep- ing is taught by Miss Risser, who also teaches two classes of typing. Com- mercial geography is taught by Mr. Albert. The students of P. H. S. are fortunate in having access to such a course of instruction.

CHARLES D. WENDHOLT. B. S. hiJutlrul Arts Developing Creative Skill YOUNG ARTISTS AT WORK LEARNING TO USE TOOLS The industrial arts department is efficiently headed by Mr. Wend- holt. This department has been re- organized into four divisions: me- chanical drawing, wood work, sheet metal work, and electricity. In the first quarter the whole department devotes its time to mechanical draw- ing; plans and layouts are made which are later used in the wood and sheet metal work. In the electricity section the students learn the rudi- ments of house wiring, electric in- duction, and many other vocational aids. In addition, as an outside ac- tivity, Mr. Wcndholt is in charge of a talented group of students in the art classes. He instructs the students in mixing and blending colors, both water color and chalk. Unusually fine work has been turned out by this class, especially in chalk-on- paper drawings. These wall murals turned out so well that the work was on display in the halls for several days.

W. D. TRULOCK. B. Eo. Mathematici Mathematics Develops Clear Thinking In the field of mathematics Paris High School offers a varied and in- teresting program. Beginning and advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, general mathematics, and commercial arithmetic arc all elec- tive. Mr. Trulock teaches courses in advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and general mathematics. In his solid geometry classes, Mr. Trulock has made use of a stereo- graph, a combination of lenses which, when adjusted properly, pre- sents the complicated figures of solid geometry in three dimensions. Mr. Trulock is aided in this de- partment by Miss Steidl, who teaches two classes in commercial arith- metic. Mr. Ariens, physics instructor, also shares the mathematical burden by instructing first-year algebra. By using every-day illustrations the teachers are able to show the practical applications to life. IN STUDY HALL A SOPHOMORE EXAM
