The other members of the club helped the staff in their work by acting as reporters. The scribblers charged five cents a copy for The Trojan News, or thirty- five cents for semester subscriptions. They tried to find new ways to make the paper interesting and to present the latest scoops in good style. Evidently the students felt that it was well worth the cost, for many issues were sold and the year was a successful one. All of the profits from this publication was used to purchase new equipment and books to aid in the improvement of the efficiency in the setting up of the paper. -A'l'1'l'7l

L eo Doran Treasurer ..........,................... Lavern Stevenson All of the students who were interested in the business world ioined the Senior Commercial Club, through which they were given a few extra suggestions which time did not allow to be taught during the typing and shorthand periods. Throughout the year, several programs, consisting of talks on the qualities of good secretaries and their duties in ofhces, were given. On Patron's Day, a demonstration by a typewriting company was spon- sored by the club. Mary Davis and Lavern Stevenson served as chairman of the committees during the year. Eudora Santacroce, loan Williams, Norma Kepplinger and Leo Doran took part in the programs which were presented for the betterment of the club members. Betty Pierce demonstrated the method of operation and the uses of the mimeoscope to the members of the club. A show was sponsored, and the profit was used to buy pins for those mem- bers of the club who met certain qualifications in speed and accuracy in typing Htteen-minute speed tests. JUNIOR COMMERCIAL CLUB Sponsor:Mr.Haegele President ...................................... Robert Drew Vice-President ................,....... Peggy Goodman Secretary-Treasurer ............ Margaret VVeldon Forty students became members of the Junior Commercial Club at the nrst meeting. Only those pupils who are beginners in commercial work had the privilege of belonging to the club. Each program was carefully planned and presented by the members of the club.- Robert Drew very capably presided over each meeting. Although the methods used in parliamentary procedure were new to him, the experience gained as a leader of the club will undoubtedly be a great benefit to him. It is the purpose of the club to aid the members in understanding and appre- ciating the opportunities offered them in commercial work, and to supplement their class work with social activities which will be valuable to them when they leave school. A party and dance was given on the twenty--eighth of March. This was the only social affair of the year and each member of the club was entitled to take a guest. Pago Titania mqht
