Lou Edythe Tazewell Talks given by prominent business men of Elgin were enioyed and proved very beneficial to the members. Skits were given by some of the members and were received with much enthusiasm. On April 3 an amusing but instructive play was given in the auditorium by some of the club. The scene was a business office with appropriate properties. The purpose of the play was to show how to apply for a position and also the correct conduct in an office. Vivian Lind acted as a stenographer for Emerson Mason, a gray-haired busi- ness man. Monica Hickey, an office girl, had to put up with the grumbling of Albert Wenzel, a lazy, care-free office boy. Iean Musekamp ably took the part of a Happer applicant who was sure she belonged in the office as a secretary. Doris Hendricks was the model secretary. Richard Lay and Raymond Schrauf showed two types of em- ployers while Carl Bohne impersonated a nervous business man. Alice Nielsen filled the roll of a business woman selling insurance. THE ART DEPARTMENT Miss Holland and her Art students have been kept busy throughout the year providing scenery for the stage, posters, party and banquet accessories, and annual plates. The members of the staff wish to express their appre- ciation to Mary Mink for our cover and to Margaret Hallock, Nancy Hazelton, Barbara Iohnson, Otis Anderson, Margaret Feddre and Dick McCornack for other plates used throughout the annual.
