0 reparef r uture ife Now is The Time Tor all good men To come To The aid OT Their counTry. This line always makes one Think oT Typing and all The associaTed commercial skills. Never beTore has our commercial deparTmenT had as many enrollees as in The pasT year. ln anTicipaTion OT The day when They will be salaried oTTice workers, Miss Nordvig's second year class pracTiced The arTs oT sTeno4 graphy on True-To-liTe proving grounds. Each girl was appoinTed secreTary To some Teacher in school. ln perTorming Their duTies Tor Their school bosses, The girls gained experience in correspondence work, Tiling, Typing, and dicTa- phone operaTion. Adeline Johann posed using The dicTaphone in The approved manner, while Doris GoeTz was phoTographed aT her Type- wriTer. The girls learned The use oT The Telee phone, and in addiTion, sTudied The personal qualiTies a young business-woman should have. lvliss l-lerreman and lvliss SchmiTz, who Teach elemenTary classes, build The ToundaTion Tor This advance Training. Every day Mr. Baechler's bookkeeping sTu- denTs Took ouT Their ledgers and accounTing books and Tackled problems analogous To everyday siTuaTions. One such class is picTured here, enTering accounTs oT hypoTheTical asseTs and liabiliTies which will laTer be replaced by acTual business TransacTions. When These sTu- denTs, in elemenTary courses, were compared wiTh others in a sTaTe achievemenT TesT, They ranked above average in abiliTy. Under The waTchTul eye oT Mr. Baechler, The sTudenTs learned The use oT The machines which aid bookkeepers, namely The bookkeeping machine aT which Ralph Tews is shown working. The success oT These modern meThods is reTlecTed by The manner in which local Tirms have absorbed The commercial graduaTes.

To provide Tor such an exTensive program oT Teaching requires careTul planning. Early in The year our English Teachers meT wiTh Mr. Pooley, PresidenT oT The NaTional Council oT Teachers oT English, and TormulaTed a pro- gressive prograrn Tor The counTy. The program meeTs sTudenT needs, Tor The sophomores, who sTudied The make-up oT newspapers, will nexT year use ThaT knowledge by publishing The Campus Clipper. Much oT The inTormaTion on periodicals was received by correspondence, buT sTudenTs were even more TorTunaTe To inTerview Mr. Walker, assisTanT-ediTor oT Lib- erTy Magazine, who came To address a sTudenT assembly. The ToundaTion oT all English courses is The work done on The Tundarnenisals oT language and liTeraTure. Each class oT English, ThereTore, reserves a porTion oT iTs Term Tor These basic sTudies. The well-baTTered drill book plays an imporTanT parT in This work. STandardized TesTs used by colleges Tor enTrance have shown ThaT This inTensive sTudy has been successTul, Tor The seniors are well above The average. The sTudy oT liTeraTure ranges Trom The wriTings OT The classical masTers To Those oT modern men oT leTTers. The program is supplemenTed wiTh assignmenTs which sTimulaTe inTeresT in read- ing and Teach reading habiTs.

old acts and igures The ward maThemaTics sTrikes Tear inTo The hearTs oT many sTudenTs. They Tear The Terms TangenTs and loci and logariThms. l-lowever, The main reason Tor Their anxieTy is ignorance oT The subiecT which, when shown in iTs True lighT, invariably becomes TascinaTing. The combined eTTorTs oT Miss Shipman, who is quick on The Trig, and Mr. Colby, who knows Euclid like a broTher, are direcTed aT desTroy- ing These Tears. The sTudenTs are sTarTed on The maThe- maTics Trail by Miss Shipman who insTrucTs sophomores in The elemenTs oT algebra. BeTTy ZeckmeisTer is shown solving a graph problem as Miss Shipman waTches, Doris Yahr and Lewis Rose are Two ouT oT many who Tearlessly reTurned Tor more. They are shown using Two oT The models which help solve problems in solid geomeTry. Miss Shipman, BeTTy ZeckrneisTer A sTudy oT geomeTry under Mr. Colby compleTes The average college enTrance re- guiremenTs oTTered by our school. When Mr. Colby Takes Time To poinT ouT a Tew oT The pracTical applicaTions oT The seemingly ab- sTracT subiecT, sTudenTs drop Their apprehen- sions and seT ouT wiTh a will. WiTh discussions and head work, They seek an undersTanding oT The Theorems and corollaries compiled by wise men. Florence Nielsen and Richard Berend are shown collaboraTing on a problem, while Wes- ley Kopp is holding a slide-rule iusT as iT he undersTood iT perTecTly. The TundamenTal aim OT any maThemaTics course is To sharpen The sTudenTs' wiTs and encourage logical Thinking. Because oT Their TarsighTedness, our graduaTes are noT only beTTer maThemaTicians buT beTTer individuals and ciTizens as well.
