LUCY SCHOENIG Commercial Department The aim of the commercial department is to prepare more boys and more girls not only to take their place in the business world, but also to enable them to keep their personal business accounts straight, thereby making them better members of the corn- munity, and we are successfully carrying out our aim , stated Mr. Blair. Most of the students we graduate from here have very little difficulty in obtaining positions. Even a large number of our undergraduates, boys and girls both, have positions for summer work.

Julia Hammel Guy Bannister 1 Commercial Department Because more room was necessary, the office practice room was shifted from 412 to 309. The furniture from 309 was moved to 317, from 317 to 310, and from 310 to 414. At present there are approximately 2380 students taking commercial subjects in the 85 classes, and 1400 taking one or more subjects, quite an increase over last year's enrollment.
