In the first three courses leading departments are our foreign languages: French, Latin, and Spanish, which enable a student to learn the tongue of a distant land. Social studies teach us the history, geography, and economy of our great country. All fresh- men are required to take civics, and II. S. History must be mastered before graduation. A wide field of science and mathematics are offered to the students. General science for freshmen, biology for sophomores, physics for juniors, and chemistry for seniors are the four sci- ences taught. Students preparing for college may take four years of mathematics, from algebra to solid geom- etry and trigonometry. General math is offered for those not planning to further their education. The continuous click of the typewriters, the scratching of the pen when taking shorthand, or the puzzled look on the face of the student whose bookkeeping will not balance—these in- dicate our future men and women of the business world taking the Commercial Course.
