Commercial Club - Confd to draw up a constitution for the club. This committee consisted of: Margaret Ames, Eliza- beth Michaels, and Mary Adams. The constitu- tion received its final form after about two weeks work. At the first meeting of the Commercial Club an election of officers was held and the following received positions for one year: President ....................... Mary Adams Vice-Pres dent .... .... E lizabeth Michaels Secretary ........ ...... M argaret Ames Treasurcr .................... Helen Hounder Faculty Advisor .................. Mr. Beahan The 15 students who attended this first meeting automatically became charter members of the club. To be eligible for membership in this club you must take 1 commercial subject during the year or be a former commercial student. To become a member of the club you must have your name proposed by another club member which will then be voted upon by the club as a whole. The primary purpose of this club is to teach the use and operation of ofhce machines not taught in our regular high school course. So far the members have learned the operation of the mimeograph and adding machine and expect to learn the use of many other machines in the future. The secondary purpose of the club is to en- courage members to enter the annual spring business contest. Villages and towns from three counties send their representatives each year to this business contest and those winning first or second place are eligible to enter the state business contest at Syracuse University each year. Of the 10 people entered in this years business competition 5 of them were members of the club: Helen Hounder, Betty Barret, Sophie Gapski. Betty Michaels and Mary Adams. Three of these people: Betty Michaels, Betty Barrett and Mary Adams won second place as members of the short hand team and therefore went to the state contest. Although not placing in the first S places they were in the upper M of the competition which was very good. With not quite a year to its credit the Com- mercial Club under the supervision of Mr. Bea- han is becoming increasingly useful as its club members gain in experience and follow their club motto Be expert at whatever you do. ournalism Club N THE past year the Journalism Ship has been sailing on, discovering new ideas and and heading for higher goals. As it accomplished things, there were always higher things brought to light for it to head toward. Since the club was formed last November, there has been much more enthusiasm shown toward the school news. This club enabled those who never had a chance to show their writing ability before to do so now and also in this way lessen the work of the staff. The members were all given special duties and certain subjects to cover and as a reward for this they received merits, all based on the way in which their articles were written. When one hundred of these merits were obtained, they received the journalism Club Pin. A few pins were received, other than those of the staff members but the rest are still working and will be able to get thernsoon. All the members have shown excellent co- operation in writing forthe school news in the Liverpool review and we all hope that this good work continues. At a recent meeting a new staff was appointed by the former staff. The members of the staff for the past year will all graduate and the new staff was appointed to carry on the work in the fall. The new staff members are: Editor-in-Chief .................. Mary Adams Managing Editor. . . .... Loretta Duerr Social Editor .... ........ M ary King News Editor .... .... E lizabeth Henes S ports Editor ....................... joe Peta Typing Manager .................. Ellen Keefe Now the time has come for the Journalism Ship to drop its anchor and have a rest until September when school rolls around once more. Page Fifteen

Virginia Barker and Dorothy Crowell, two of our most ardent historians, thought they would investigate the foreign affairs. They began their investigation by way of theirfmouths with which they attempted to taste a Cuban Sandwich that they ordered the night of their arrival at the Capitol. They found to their dismay that it was composed of Virginia Baked Ham, American Cheese and Salami. Virginia seemed to be jinxed during our stay in VVashington for one night this lass tried to exhibit her super-sight in getting to bed without the aid of light. She maneuvered around until she had awakened her room mates - just as she very gently folded herself in a suitcase. Ruth Naumann and Margaret Loop also were among those to talk of their experiences. One night the house detective let himself into their room and nonchalantly made his presence known by snapping on the lights and waking them out of a sound sleep by inquiring if they were the party that were annoying the people across the hall. Ola Kentner and Harold Schreiner made any guide sure that his talks were interesting for their facial expressions always portrayed deep concentration and when their eyes became focused on something which took their interest there was no doubt that the crowd dispersed while they remained gazing upward.
