Defolini off Girls For several years, Shortridge was with- out a dean of girls. Then Mrs. Eugenia Hayden took over this job and is doing many things to help the girls with schol- astic and personal problems. Besides working in this capacity, Mrs. Hayden sponsors the Girls' League and the Stu- dent Board, two important and hard- working organizations. Social Scerioilce The social service department is one that receives no praise or material recog- nition for the work it does at Shortridge. Its aid is of great value to those who receive it, and it helps strengthen the school by furthering pupil adjustment. Both financial and personal help are given by the social service department. Comniinnineirfcce The commerce department is one of the important parts of the well-balanced curriculum at Shortridge. Almost every student can find a course of value to him, in either his present-day school- work or in preparation for work in the business world. Any pupil iinds a knowl- edge of typing helpful in all subjects, and those capable of shorthand use it advantageously when speed is needed. The retail problems course offers prac- tical information for those who are now employed in stores. Commerce students learn valuable useful things. Mrs. Hayden, dean of girls.

Hume Economics The second floor hall often smells won- derful and the girls who have classes there dress beautifully, and all because the home economics department makes its home and creates its homemakers there. In classes, meals are correctly planned and prepared, wardrobes are skilllfully expanded, and the girls learn the .science of maintaining a Well-man- aged home. Besides the regular foods and clothing classes, instruction in home living and related arts is given. In the related arts course, the principles of art are applied to the furnishings' of the home, the home itself, and to clothing.
