Qrammar Department i H I he Grammar Department has grown from a single course for the training of teachers for the upper grades until now' we have five courses divided into three sub-departments. There are the three year and four years courses for Junior High teachers, a two year course for upper grade teachers and a four year and a two year course for intermediate grade teachers. Our Department is well known for the good material which it puts out. Appreciation of the satisfactory work done by grammar graduates is shown by the fact that superintendents all over this state and in other states come back year after year. Our graduates are now-filling many responsible positions. Through our departmental club, the Round Table, wc have taken a leading part in all school activities. Members of the Department are found on all athletic teams, in all musical organizations and on the debate team. Besides we boast the girls champion basketball team and the champion orator of the school. Through our club we have had many good times and learned to know' one another much better.

High School Department Again the High School Department is the largest in the college. Under the new degree system many students have returned to complete their courses. Organized in 191b, the Department has made rapid progress. Originally the course consisted of two years; later it was found necessary to add a third year. In 1928 the Department was given the power to grant degrees to four year students. Under the capable guidance of Mr. Smith and Miss Jones, the High School Department has carried out the idea of the Roman forum in its monthly meetings. This Department is well represented in the activities of the school; many teachers have carried the spirit and teachings of the Forum into their work throughout the state. To Mr. Smith we owe a debt of gratitude for his kindly counsel and willingness to help. Ever ready to encourage us, he has kept alive the fire of determination which has guided us onward to our goal.
