For those desirous of a com- mercial living, the Secretarial Department prepares amanuenses for all professional and business men and gives courses for those of pedagogical aspirations. A fanciful office replete with all essentials puts these embryo sec- retaries in the mood for coping with all the appendages of a busi- ness house. Secretarial students spend three years learning the gays and kays of Shorthand so that 160 word speed is a common thing among Regisites. Religion, Scripture, Logic, Philosophy, Psychology, Ethics, and English are prescribed courses; and Economics, Com- mercial Law, Accounts, and Bus- iness Organization are added to make candidates equipped to man- age the vicissitudes of business. At the conclusion, the degree con- ferred is a Bachelor of Science in Commerce.

PRE-MED. Young Florence Nightingales follow the hrst bent of their fan- cies in this undergraduate medical school. If their ardor is not damp- ened by endless hours in the lab- oratory and they complete the course satisfactorily, then the privilege of entering any Class A Medical School is theirs, for this course has been approved by the American Medical Association. In addition to the regular pre- scribed subjects for the A.B. course, students are required to carry advanced courses in Chem- istry, Biology, Physics, and Math- ematics and possess a reading knowledge of French and German.

DEFENSE FOR GOD ' S COUNTRY Ingenious Chefs In answer to the nation’s plea for all-out defense, Regis was in cooperation with the Weston Chapter of the American Red Cross. Several Faculty members received Red Cross Instruction Certihcates and thus imparted their proficiency to volunteer classes of students. Under the surveillance of Miss Mar- garet McNamee, knitting needles stitched countless sweaters and socks and B.S.H. students contributed generously to cloth- ing for civilians. Subscriptions to the Canteen Aid Course, which gives instructions for expeditious mass feeding, were plentiful; the sale of Defense Stamps and Bonds, directed by Miss Grace Hawley, was enthusiasticallv patronized; and the Reading Club, cooper- ating with the American Library Associa- tion, collected specified books for service stations. B.S.H. Those artistically and domes- tically-minded pursue the prac- tical arts of Home Economics. Nurturing and developing flairs for creations a la Fifth Avenue in the Clothing Department, sty- lists design wearing apparel of the latest Hollywood mode. Concentration on foods shapes dietitians for public and private use. With an eye to health and economy, they study healthful diets and add to them the flourish- es of a gourmet’s Heaven. Income Management develops thrifty wives and efficient chefs; while Home Nursing acquaints the in- genue with the best methods for treating domestic calamities. Com- bined with Philosophic Studies, Religion, Scripture, and Litera- ture, they comprise a Bachelor of Science Degree in Home Eco- nomics. While Air Raid Wardens maintained constant vigilance in the Norman Tower, Faculty and Students united in Chapel in fervent prayer for the cessation of brutality and paganism throughout the world.
