For Business Careers Right Here
In Mountain Home

Citizens of Mountain Home hat
an opportunity Friday evening o
! last week to observe just what tn,
schools of the city were doing, anC
we venture to say that it was (
revelation to many of them
Particularly is this true in regard
to the commercial, department of the
high school. Mrs. Hays, who is in
charge of this department, is giving
her students a groundwork for fu-
ture business careers which it would
be hard to duplicate in any up-to-
date business college.
A large number of our people
visited the school building during
the evening, and from the remarks
overheard it is evident that they
have a much higher opinion of the
worth of the institution than they
had before
The work of all the grades was
displayed effectively on tables and
walls.
At the right of the entrance was
the history display of the 18th and
Sth grades, taught by Miss Sullivan.
Next, Spelling and Arithmetic, of
the same grades, taught by Miss
Carter.
Next, Geography of same grades,
taught by Miss Mabel Clark, this be-
ing artistically arranged in Jap
anese booth. These three teachers
do departmental work.
Next, came the booth of Miss Ger
trude Groefsema, artistically deco
rated in tulips of yellow. In it was
displayed the work of the 9Th grade
and it made an effective display.
Miss Turner, the teacher of the
5th and 9Th grades was next. The
booth was trimmed in green apple
blossoms for decorating. The work
was fine.
The booth of Miss Riddle, 5th
grade, was next. great deal of
work was done and it was very we'll
Then followed Miss Clicks fourth
grade. The work was cleverly
mounted on a blue-gray mounting.
Her students show fine training.

and 3rd grades. The arrangement
was very neat and showed much care
on the part of the pupils as well as
the teachers.
Miss Alderman, teacher of the
tiny tots" and Mrs. Hergesheimer
of the first and second grades, dis
played their work together on the
left of the entrance. 1t was very
splendid display for such young stu
dents.
The Commercial department made
the only display from the high school
but it nobly upheld the honor of that
The work of the entire
year was displayed on tables and
walls directly in front of the stage.
During the evening the advanced
shorthand and tipping classes gave
/ short demonstration of their work.
One feature which was unique as
ar as the visitors were concerned
vas the tipping demonstration in
hythm to the music of a Victrola.
Other demonstrations were given
n short speed tests, dictation of
hort sentences and business letters,
horthand and reading. .
Music for the evening was fur
Iished in a delightful manner by
Iarian Dick, Helen Harmon, Elva :
