s TYPING ROOM faculty as student slenographers. Not only accuracy, accuracy being stressed. Qlnnking The Domestic Science Department is enrolled in by girls of all grades in school. A most completely equipped kit- chen affords every facility for the prepa- ration of foods. The course in cooking is completed in two years, one semester each, and includes the principles of pre- paring meals for all occasions, both for- mal and informal. The Annual Ath- letic Banquet and other similar affairs are times when the class has an oppor- tunity to display its work. All the food is prepared by the girls in the kitchen and served by them. This experience cannot be overestimated for them in later life. SEVVING ROOM H Qlnmmrrrial ihpartmmt The Commercial Department in the school seems to be one of the popular special courses because of the practical training it offers its students. About one- third of the students in the school are enrolled in the regular Commercial Course. Commercial Arithemtic, junior Busi- ness Practice, and Bookkeeping are the elementary commercial courses and give the girl or boy who intends to enter into business invaluable training in the same. The Typing and Shorthand classes are always large and much of the work in this line is done by the students for the but also speed is taught in these subjects, KITCHEN Sewing To those girls who are especially in- terested in homemaking the Sewing Class offers splendid opportunity for progress along this art. At the comple- tion of the course the girls are ableto make clothes, silk and wool dresses, not only for themselves, but also for others. During the first semester they make undergarments. Gradually they under- take more difficult projects and usually present a display sometime throughout the course of the year to the other girls and faculty of the school. Pagr Fourteen .gen -v-

e I I l - Q Snrnrr Eepartmrnt The Science Department in our school is well equipped for the many experi- ments necessary to make the science courses practical. All freshmen are re- quired to take a year's course in General Science, which gives them a good back- ground for further study in any one of the various sciences taught in our col- leges and universities. Due to lack of space we can offer only two advanced sciences at present, but additional courses will be added soon. With our complete- ly equipped Chemistry Laboratory, which 4 is also accessible to the Biology Classes, CHEMISTRY LABORATORY any student who is really interested in the work can accomplish much which will be of value to him no matter what course he may pursue later in life. illllanual Aria The High School Shop courses are de- signed for students who have had wood- working in the grades as well as for boys from out of the district who may not have had any manual training. Since only two semesters of shop work are offered no attempt is made to teach a trade, but only to build a foundation for a variety of vocational activities. The beginners course starts with very simple projects and leads to more difficult ones through the progressive steps of WOODWVORK SHOP tool-processes. At first all work is at the bench with hand tools. Students are allowed to use machines only after they have been thououghly instructed in the proper methods and safety precautions and then only under the supervision of the instructor. We are proud to say that the projects turned ont by the boys not only are very useful but are pleasing in appearance and substantially made. V - fllllnhamral Erammg Mechanical Drawing in our school is designed to meet the needs of boys in the first two years of high school. Since the course covers only two semesters no at- tempt is made to teach drawing as a vo- cation. In the first place it is taught in correlation to shop work to aid and build the power of visualization to strengthen the constructive imagination, and leads to exactness of thought. This proves an excellent foundation for a 'boy who will follow academic lines as well as for boys going into trade work. DRAXVING ROOM l - B - l l Page Fifiemz
