THE TRADE TACKLER l- - ALUMNAE ON November 7, 1934, over 150 postal cards were mailed to the graduates of the Girls Vocalional School urging them to come to the annual dinner meeting held No- vember 12, in the Tea Room of the Girls Vocational School. Seventy-eight girls ac- cepted and were present. All trades were represented. Over fifty of the girls paid their annual dues at this meeting. The 'dinner was followed by a short business meeting. The following officers were elected for the years 1934-1935: President-Miss Edna McCabe QHygiene, 19341. Miss McCabe is now em- ployed at the Hilton-Court Beauty Shop. Vice-President-Miss Margaret McGarry QHygiene, 19321 Miss McGarry has been with the National Wave Studio for several years. Treasurer-Miss Ruth Gura CJunior Oilice Practice, 19341. Miss Gura is now with the Postal Telegraph Co. The Association voted that the library fund be increased by a ten dollar donation from the Alumnae fund.

Beau Geste Ferber. . . Showboat Richards. Florence Nightingale Sweetser. Ten American Girls from History Bennett. . How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day Besier ............................. The Barretts of Wimpole Street Miss Virginia 'llxaLcher, Employment Manager of Hochschild Kohn and Com- pany, was the speaker for the evening. Her message to the girls was practical and encouraged them to further accomplishment. Her snappy appearance and pleasing manner, together with her complete understanding of what is required of the girl on the job. was in itself an inspiration. We wish to extend a vote of thanks to Miss Thatcher for the evening's entertainment. The excellent dinner was served by Miss Phillips of the night school, with the assistance of her class. ' The Hygiene Class of 1934 is planning to meet as a separate unit with the hope of working out a project which will make possible an annual contribution to the Girls Vocational School library. This is a splendid idea and we hope other classes will follow their good example. Do you know that many of our members have secured better positions by attend- ing Alumnae meetings? Here girls meet and discuss trade problems. They tell of jobs about to become vacant and of dismissals and marriages. This gives the alert girl her opportunity. fContinued on next pagej 42
