courses of study as last year with the

two courses in commercial work.

held in the afternoon from LIS to 4.l5.
Students who elect this wirk will be
dismissed from the morning session at
II o'clock thus affording them ample
! time at the noon hour.

arrangement is a temporary one and
will be changed if necessary to meet
the needs of students and the condi :
tions of the school.
