ROUND-UP -.'- 1927 ART DEPARTMENT As some one has said, It is the spirit in which life is lived that de- termines its quality and value, and it is known that through those subjects included under the head of Fine Arts, one finds an oppor- tunity for such development. The aim of the Art Department is to develop in the individual an appreciation of the beauty underlying all things. The stage sets for school plays, attractive posters to awaken interest in school events, the illustrations of the annual, the weaving of baskets, and embroider- ing of curtains, the painting of parchment lamp shades, and many other kinds of art work are done here. The faculty members of the department are: Mrs. Couchman, head, Miss Glantz, Domestic Art, Miss Hetlinger, Commercial Art, Miss Chase, Reedcraft, and Mr. Sparks, Photography. COMMERCIAL DEPARTM ENT The Commercial Department attempts to prepare students for the world of business. Emphasis is placed especially on three vocational courses: Gen- eral Clerical or Accounting, Salesmanship, and Stenographic. General Clerical prepares students for positions as bookkeepers, general clerks, and general ofhce workers. Training in the Sales- manship division leads to the big field of selling at wholesale or retail. The Stenographic course prepares a student for a definite occupa- tion as typist or stenographer or for general office work. The teachers are: Miss Bertrude Bartoo, Miss Byerts, Miss Car- hart, Mrs. Davidson, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Erwin, Miss Plato, Mrs. Rapp, Mr. Tobin, and Mr. VV. M. Ramsey, head of the department. GIRLS, HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT That VVoman's place is in the home, may well be said to be the motto of the Home Economics Department, for nowhere else is offered such a variety of courses appealing to girls who are interested in affairs of the home. Here girls are taught every phase of efhcient household manage- ment, from the proper selection of food and clothing to the furnish- ings and care of various types of homes. Clothing, Costume Design, Stage Sewing, Vocational Sewing, Mil- linery, Foods, Dietetics, Household Management, and Personal Hy- giene, are but a few of the classes covered by the department. The teachers of this group, headed by Mrs. Ethel H. McCallen. are: Mrs. Claire Bedard, Mrs. Margaret L. Davis, Miss Josephine Evans, Miss Maicie L. French, Miss Mary E. L. Hall, and Mrs. Olive Mul- holland. Page Sixteen
