THIS COMMERCIAL DICPARTME 'i Yon cannot hit if you do not aim It is the aim of the Commercial Depart- ment of P. T. H. S. to educate young men and women, giving them a practical knowledge of its fundamentals, such as Book-keeping, Short- hand, Typewriting, Spelling. Arithmetic, Per- sonal Iilfciency, Salesmanship, Science of judg- ing Men, Law, Ofliee Practice, Concentration, Thought and the preparatory Academic sub- jects. It does not make any difference what a man is or Las been, if he can be induced to be- come interested, and has access to something he likes to do, having proper instructions plus backbone, he can and will succeed. Let me say here, the Commercial Depart- ments of our schools are not the dumping grounds for illiterate, stupid pupils. If you stop to think, you can see that it takes personality, alertness, and initiative to run a successful busi- ness. It is our boys and girls, who graduate XVhat a Grand and Glorious Feeling When Wendell does not have dictation, When Pauline can have all afternoon to do Bookkeeping. q When Bertha gets more copies than Hazel in typewritiug or vice versa. lNhen Beulah can go to the Freslunan room. When Lida can use lxer wings and does not have to walk to school. W hen Mary can cat lunch providing the lfe'l rings before she starves to death. When Les only hears his motl1er's voice and not her foot steps. XVhen Bertha can come to school in an acro- planc and avoid Fuller's Hill. XVhen Hazel lets us all into the movies for nothing and no one says to licr-- Vk7l:o brougl.t you home? When we all get an accountant's degree and can take dictation at two hundred words per lninulc. from thc Commercial Departments, who take up and keep up the affairs in the business world. and does not the success of our town, district. county, state and nation, depend upon business carried on successfully? If our Commercial Students do not have the above mentioned assets, they can not and will not do their share of the work. Waken up, boys and girls, rally to the call of the business world, through a four years Com- mercial Course, as the boys rallied to the call ' 'To Arms. You owe it to yourself, and above all never cheat yourself. Honesty with your- se'f and others is the only policy. Put something in your head, which will start it to work for you. and you can be what you will. You are entitled to something that will be the means of your success in the future, for your parents pay for the upkeep of our schools. We solicit your patronage and your hearty co-opera- tion.
