MODERN BUSINESS COURSE The gradual development of commercial 'education in the last century is very interest- ing. At first private schools offered courses to students who had completed the grammar grades. Bookkeeping was the chief subject taught. Later typing and shorthand were introduced. Business continued to expand until today the necessity of commercial sub- jects in every course is apparent. Originally the schools aimed at training students to become either bookkeepers or stenographers. Then commercial education existed as a dis- tinct unit. Today, however, the advantage of some commercial knowledge to every stu- dent is imperative. The prudent academic pupil elects wisely one or two commercial branches. The student training for the commercial world needs a more solid business founda- tion than the academic student.

-ll X f F ls: '-A 5 ut, 4 6' On June 9, the'Seniors will present in Norwood Hall a striking play, entitled lt's a Ming. The comedy has three acts in which ten of our gradu- ates will star. Margaret Campbell contributes a montrous vase to the Schools White Elephant Auc- tion. A pair of practical jokers, Mary Gordon and Patricia Phelan, start a rumor that the vase is a valuable Ming. Dolores Schleich conducts a lively auction, at which Margaret Munsch, thinking the vase valuable, buys it. Miss Campbell learns that her kind but cranky aunt, Miss Dolores Miller, who had given her the vase, is coming to visit her. Miss Miller brings an expert, Mary Helen Madden, to decid-e whether the vase is a priceless masterpiece. A young reporter, Helen Donatelli, does some ex- pert maneuvering and acting until a crook is recog- nized in one of the party. A sub-plot of two love- sick girls, Ruth Gillen and Margaret Munsch, winds through the main story of the vase. All the parts in this delightful play of school days, including that of the old Irish maid, Margaret Fersch, are very attractive.-Mary Helen Madden, '36. fConcluded on Page 113 W we-1 Y I v f -C v-.

Thus was the atmosphere created on May 22 at Norwood Hall, the scene of the Senior Promenade, one of the most important social functions of the school year. The hall was beautifully decorated with large balloons and class pennants of gold and black. Large leafy palms offered a fitting background for the orchestra of WiIl Kestner, which furnished the music. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Ley, and Mr. and Mrs. E. J. L-ey, the chaperons, aided in making this social event one that will always be memorable to the grad- uates and their friends. The following committee was in charge of the arrangements: Mary Howley, Dorothy McSt,een, Catherine Martin, and Cornelia Reister. The Senior proms have established a permanently cherished tradition in our high school. Dorothy McSteen, '36. The Sweet Girl Graduate One of the most popular phrases in the English language is the sweet girl graduate. Although poets, orators, and authors have used those words time and again, the public never seems to tire of them. Tennyson, himself, wrote of sweet girl graduates. Her pictures are in the rotogravure sections of the newspapers and the Sweet Girl Graduate herself is the subject of many editorials. All this praise, while very sweet and gratifying, sometimes is mere flatteryg but the happy Senior does not allow popular fancy to turn her head. The sweet girl graduate knows well her possibilities, limitations and failures. Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers. The high school Senior is laying a good foundation of learning and culture. However, she needs more than a mere accumulation of knowledge. She requires a resource- ful, honorable, responsible and self-reliant personality. An ideal gradu- ate should have serious views of life, good common sense and practical judgment, but best of all, a good supply of humor. She must be able to recognize true value, to sympathize with others, to cherish beauty, and to understand and obey that little voice of conscience prompting noble deeds which may require heroic sacrifices. Her education does not end at graduation, which is rightly called commencement day, for then life begins to test and train our sweet girl graduate, be it in a Christian home or in a peaceful, happy convent.
