They are: home economics I, II, Ill, home planning, advanced cooking, and advanced sew- ing. Each spring the girls of the home economics classes have a fashion show.

udinefio gjclucallion Sandusky High School has an ex- cellent commercial department. The course is arranged so that a student can either receive a maior in the cleri- cal or stenographic field, or he can take a single year of typing for personal use. The first year is spent in learning the elementary skills of typing and shorthand. In the second year a stu- dent receives training in secretarial or office practice-filing procedures, and gains more experience in shorthand and typing. The student is taught how to use the dictaphone and how to operate electric typewriters. Each student learns the methods for cutting stencils and learns how to run a mimeo- graph machine. Students also receive some training on the comptometer and bookkeeping machines. For practical experience advanced students are assigned to teachers for handling their correspondence and do- ing other work. Girls also work in the principal's office.

Industrial arts classes offer incen- tive to the curious student who may wish to know more about the workings of his own car, or who may desire to learn a particular trade. Many boys, who are looking into their futures, take advantage of the courses in auto mechanics, wood- working, sheetmetal or metal castings, as well as drafting and machine work.
