COMMERCIAL Chester L. Bailey, A.B. Jennie May Strawman, B.S. Head of Department Q Elmer Dewey, Leslie O'Brien, M.A. Elizabeth E. Kemper, M.S. Josephine G. Rounds, B.A. ii V Many and varied are the courses ,enjoyed by these teachers during their years in school because of some practical value which they received. For both Mr. Elmer Dewey and Mr. Leslie O'Brien economics proved to be a very valuable subject because of its help in solving our daily economic problems. Mr. Chester L. Bailey found his course in law contracts a most profitable subject, and to Miss Elizabeth Kemper the course in psychology which she studied was of great interest. As for Miss Jennie Strawman and Miss Josephine Rounds, shorthand for the former and sociology for the latter proved to be of much value, since the practical side of shorthand appealed to Miss Strawman, and the aid in understanding people provided by sociology appealed to Miss Rounds. .

Clerk Senior Advirer 'mticipating in quite strenuous and healthful sports seems to be the rule rather than the exception in the case of these members of the general office staff. For both Mrs. Evelyn Shoffner and Miss Eleanor Heuver, swim- ing rated highest in this line, but Miss Heuver also added that boating and water sports spelled fun to her. t in the great out-of-doors and enjoying nature while storing up health at the same time are bene- Hts Miss ce Mullen and Miss Lois Haskell derive from their activities. For the former, hiking provides untold enjoyment, and for the latter, bike riding provides plenty of exercise. As for Miss Evelyn Hanson and Miss Hazel Koch, tennis and shuffleboard respectively afford them much amusement.

l , MATHEMATICS Maud M. Patterson, M.A. Russell J. Erb, M.A. Head of Department Ruth E. Peterson, B.S. William Tiaden, B.S. Bert Bglo, M.A. Frances L. Regan, A.B. Roberta E. Presnell, M.A. There is a very little variety in the choice of these teachers as to a favorite movie, for although Miss Frances Regan did list Gone With the Wind as her other favorite movie, she, as well as Miss Maud Patterson, Miss Ruth Peterson, Mrs. Roberta Presnell, and Miss Bertha Bardo, listed Mrs. Miniver as their best liked movies of the current season. As for a favorite radio program, symphony orchestra concerts and quiz programs rate very high. To Miss Regan or Miss Bardo, a program like the Ford Sunday Evening Hour, or the New York Phil- harmonic gives untold listening pleasure, while for Miss Peterson or Mrs. Presnell, Quiz Kids and Information Please, respectively make a good half hour of listening. .X V - , . , - 'F 'eb-fe?
