Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE In the Collegiate Institute pupils are prepared for entrance into the Normal Schools, the Universities, and Professional Schools. Attendance for four years, and in most cases, five, is required to complete the studies in this school. VOCATIONAL SCHOOL In the Commercial Department of the Vocational School pupils are prepared for commercial pursuits. It requires four years to obtain a Commercial Graduation Diploma. This may be obtained either through the Secretarial Course for Girls or the Accountancy Course for Boys. In addition there is a Special One Year Course in purely commercial subjects for those who have successfully completed at least three years of a regular High School course or for those who are graduates of either the Household Economics or Industrial Arts Departments. In the Industrial Arts Department of the Vocational School courses are offered in Draughting, Machine Shop Practice, Woodworking, Auto Mechanics, and Elec- tricity. In this department boys are trained for industrial pursuits. The length of the course is four years. In the Household Economics Department of the Vocational School girls are taught Sewing, Dressmaking, Millinery, Home Nursing, Home Management, Cook- ing, and Applied Art. The length of the course is four years. In each of the three departments of the Vocational School a good general education is given along with the special training in the purely vocational subjects.

ADVERTISING DIRECTORY Again we wish to acknowledge the support we have received from our advertisers. Although our advertisers were asked for only half the space taken in former years, many of these advertisers placed orders for the regular allotment. This issue of The Echoes was published only as a result of their fine co-operation. Without the help and assistance received from the following advertisers, the publication of The Echoes of 1941 would have been impossible. STUDENTS-BUY OUR ADVERTISERS' PRODUCTS Banks, C.
