Sara Travers Treasurer . , Marie Klug N AN effort to bring about a chosen relation between the men of the business world and students in the secretarial department, the Business Club affords its mem- bers an opportunity to hear men active in various fields of business endeavor. The organization takes an active part in sponsoring contests of a business nature and in secur- ing awards for victors in competitions. Since 1929 the Business Club has been taking a lively and intelligent interest in the intricacies of commercial and economic problems. Frequently, for their bi-monthly gatherings, the ofhcers secured interesting and entertaining speakers. Miss Goldena Fisher, of the Gregg Publishing Company, em- phasized the necessity of qualities, such as-initiative, responsibility, self-reliance, and self-control, to enable youth in his later life to adapt himself to a changing world. One's personality, she declared, is very important in securing a position as well as in retaining it. Arthur Delau, winner of the diamond medal award of the Gregg Shorthand School, gave a demonstration here in the spring of the year. An instructive activity was a visit- which was in reality a detailed inspection- to the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Main Post Office. The members of this club accompanied Sister M. Sevina and the history students on these tours. WERE FILLED WITH THOSE LAST FEW TIMES WHEN THE GRADUATES HAD THEIR LAST

Almost seventy per cent of English words are derived from the Latin. lfour years of study impressed upon these Modern Ver- giliansn the fact that no language is dead while it has a living literature of worth as Latin classical writings. The Vergil Club was organized to give time and place for discussion of subjects for which the ordinary class period offers little opportunities. During the monthly meetings these advanced students reported on many valuable by-products of the study of Latin and discussed Auxilium Latinumf' a Latin newspaper. The climax of scholastic activities occurred on March 27, 1935, when the students participated in an International Latin Competitive Examination.

It is composed of sixteen members, one from each home room in the school. They act as reporters for both of Alvernia's school publications-The Alvernian and The Gleaner. Every member represents the staFf in all booster activities. Under the leadership of Dorothy Redmond, president, the oflicers and members of the club have been true boosters. They have met faithfully every second Wednesdaty at three o'clock to report for their home room and to discuss the business of the publications. It is the duty of the booster to report the business transacted to her class. In this way Alvernia is able to give her Annual and Newspaper that personal touch, so diilicult to maintain in a large school. Special Commendation must be given to the boosters for the splendid and whole- hearted cooperation in the Patron Drive, conducted for The Alvernian.
