MR DUBBS MISS FILER MISS GEICRICH MISS HANRAHAN Commercial Department Four years ago the Commercial Department was organized in Sharon Htgh School. The predominating idea in its organization was service—to the business world and to the rest of the school. Measured in the light of results, the Department has been successful. A survey shows that practically all the graduates of this department are employed; several hold responsible positions. The Commercial Department has endeavored to keep in view the idea of service to the rest of the school; not to be an isolated department, but one which cooperates and is a real part of Sharon High. Each year sees more and more students enrolled in the Commercial Department. Approximately forty per cent of this year’s graduating class are commercial students, the majority of whom have taken straight commercial work for four years. Many academic students take one or more commercial subjects, such as Economics. Salesmanship, or Typewriting. In the annual State Commercial Contest at Indiana, last year. Sharon High won first places in Free-for-AU Bookkeeping and in Rapid Calculation. Charles R Dubbs State Teachers College. Indiana. Fa. Margaret A Giegerich State Teachers College. Indiana.

V 0 ©I a llo 0 MISS FORREST Language Department Sharon High has a highly efficient and interesting Language Department, well organized, and managed by capable teachers. Latin, the basis of our own as well as many other modern languages, is well known and appreciated by Sharon High students, as there are a great number enrolled in the course. Miss Giblwms teaches first year Latin, Miss Saeger and Miss Forrest have charge of Caesar, while Mr. Raney has Cicero and Virgil. Latin is an invaluable aid to English and modern language students; while, of course, to students of science, it is indispensable. The second most popular foreign language in Sharon High is French. This department is in the capable hands of Miss McBride. In addition to her first and second year classes, Miss McBride also teaches a third year class this year. Miss McBride believes that the surest way to know a country and its people is to be able to speak and write its language. Aside from the cultural value of French, it has a practical value, for French expressions are coming more and more into usage in the English. Miss Forrest has charge of the Spanish Department. Aside from its cultural value a knowledge of Spanish is imt ortant in the commercial world. O. W. Raney—Westminster College, A.M.; Ohio Normal University, B.S.—Latin III-IV. Augusta Gibbons—Allegheny College, A.B.—Latin I. E. Vernicc Saeger—Thiel College, A.B.—Latin II. Esther M. Forrest—Grove City College, Lit.B.—Spanish I-II.
