Business is Attractive Featuring one department of the school's curriculum in The Strenuous Life is an annual tradition. This year an inside view of an up-todate Business Education Department which offers four courses, bookkeeping, clerical, retailing, and secre- tarial, is presented. Often students have found in one of these a foundation for their future careers. The school is indebted each year to this department for the mimeographing of the Sophomore handbook, the Compass, the Teddy Echo, Big Stick, and also the typing of most of the tests and bulletins. The classes in this department are very popular with the students, as can be seen by this year's enrollment, which totals 1,126.
