Through it all there was an honest en- deavor on the part of every student to put his studies before his maniacal craving for sun- shine, horses, and golf. The course was brought to a glorious and honorable end with a picnic of red-hot pro- portions. Both students and stai attended, and a good time was evidenced by the preva- lence of sunburn and mosquito bites the next day. Commencement exercises were held the evening of the last day of school and in- cluded a swell banquet and talk. At last we got those gold buttons which show to all the world that we know something of the right way of running a laundry. They do not, however, tell any of the story of the glorious time we've had in Joliet. Page Fifteen . - N -H .ee n P - A ' 1. .fwfr -ff 2 'wr i0':'f?'W1-. f I . , . fffxg ..f.iew,5- fe . V rap ? .

g I laundry accounting course If you debit Accounts Payable, you must credit Account 2-4 in your In- voice Record. A HE monotonous inactivity of registration H day for the Accounting and Business Law Course was interrupted by a call for arms . . .to carry the voluminous packages of stuff and things that every true red-ink accountant should have in order that he may follow the straight and narrow path of the dollars and cents columns Cpronounced col-yumsh. The ensuing two weeks were devoted to teaching the not too bright students to speak in the vernacular that would enable them to direct a layman to a spot on a Balance Sheet which would be equivalent to Chicago and Cass Streets on the debit side of town. The remaining six weeks were filled with cold facts about expense classifications, interspersed with weekly examinations which seemed to enlighten the staff about the stu- dent body's dis-enlightenment. The legal end of the course was expertly administered to the class in lethal doses by Mr. J. Hinton Massey, attorney at law. Mr. Page Massey, in addition to being very proficient at teaching law, was equally proficient in instructing the cruder element in the class regarding classroom etiquette. The Republican element of the stai made an attempt at regimenting the class. The at- tempt was partially successful during the cooler portions of the course, but summer days brought the fiowers, the flowers brought per- fume, and Miss House got the mumps. It was in this course that extra-curricular activities were at their height. We visited the Illinois State Penitentiary at Stateville Cas spectators, of coursej. Some of the lads went down to the Kentucky Derby for a week- end without much financial success, although they still claim they were on the right horse. Two softball games were played by the stu- dents. The first was with the staff, in which the students, as usual, were victorious by an overwhelming score. The second was played a week later with the routemen, and the students were victorious again. ' 1 The Supreme Court in this case holds that the defendant is liable for nomi- nal damages. Fourteen
