20 Shorthand, Typewriting, Bookkeeping, Mathematics history with Mr. Vandeventer, or one year in world history with Mr. Sweeley. A year's history of their own country, taught by Miss Fansler, is a senior requisite. The science department offers five separate courses, general science and biology for lower classmen; physics, chemistry, and senior science for upper classmen. General science, taught by Miss Church, is required of all freshmen. Miss Luckhaupt is the instructor for biology, a course which is a combination of zoology, physiology, and botany. Physics is taught by Mr. Ariens. Its purpose is to lay a foundation for future engineering students, to supply scientific knowledge for all, and to de- velop the habit of basing all opinions upon valid evidence. The aim of the chemistry course, taught by Mr. Little, is to help open a rich field to the inquiring mind and to lead the student to a better understanding of the world around him. Senior science, also under the direction of Mr. Little, is planned for students who wish something less academic and less formal than chemistry or physics. Students who expect to enter the commercial field after graduation will find the commercial course well fitted to their needs. In the freshman year, business training is offered, taught by Miss Steidl and Mr. Cottingham. In the second year the student may choose commercial geography and commercial arithmetic. C. J.

Vocal and Instrumental Music, Boys’ and Girls’ Sports Junior shorthand and typing are taught by Miss Wright, Miss Steidl, and Mr. Cottingham. The senior work in this department is under the direction of Miss Wright. Bookkeeping, open to juniors and seniors, and a year's work in typing only are taught by Miss Risser. The mathematics course is designed to serve two classes of students, those who plan to attend college and those who intend to pursue some occupation without further study. In the first classification, such courses as elementary and advanced algebra, and plane and solid geometry are offered. For the second group a course is planned with the idea of giving the individual a working knowl- edge of such mathematics as may be put to use in the everyday affairs of the average individual. Examples of this are problems in taxes, insurance, and installment buying. The instructors in mathematics are Mr. Ariens, who teaches elementary algebra; Miss Steidl, the business arithmetic teacher; and Mr. Trulock, instructor in advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and general mathematics. The industrial arts department is under the supervision of Mr. Wendholt. The course includes mechanical drawing, electricity, woodworking, metal working. The home economics department under the direction of Miss Perisho and Miss Hendricks of- MARY MARGARET BEESON, B.S. Music
