At the same time the drawings. advertisements. and covers showed much originality lremem- ber the funny faced cover?J. Several of the stat? attended the Scholastic Press Ijonference held at Syracuse University early in the year. Applying a suggestion received from one ot' the lectures. the gossip column, which enjoyed a measure of success, was instituted. .X policy forbidding the acceptance ot' compliments of ads tended to give the merchant more for his advertising in the Srroll. lly exchanging papers with neighboring schools, we were able to gain many valuable suggestions. Miss Marjorie Harris has been a very helpful and instructive faculty advisor. The staff wishes to extend their hearty thanks for her cooperation.

'l'helma jordan acted as chairman, assisted by Margaret lloone, .Xlice llurlee, llarriet XYoolworth and Marjorie Dellond. ln November, Miss Doris Sims, local attorney, came to the Commercial Room and gave an intensely interesting talk on the procedure to follow in beginning and carrying on ot' a law suit. .Xfter her talk, members asked questions pertaining to law and all persons present gained much valuable and practical information. christmas time found the club enjoying an excellent dinner in the Home lilconomics Rooms which was prepared by able and competent committees. Mar- jorie Schaible and Rebecca lfowler. in charge of the program, did a good job of keeping every club member and guest highly entertained by dancing and clever games. 'l'he year was rounded up by a picnic supper held on Green's llill in the latter part of May. l'crhaps little actual commercial or business activity was featured but each mem- ber did gam a little and certainly gained a lot in the way of good. wholesome social times. -at 25 ls--
