The Commercial Record 21 Use the steps because the elevator is out of order. Don't think you're a senior because you wear long trousers. The 'best way to get along in Business High is to imitate the 10-B's and 10-A'.s George A. Pal. S-MILE A smile, A smile, an honest grin, Ano-ther smile will always wing So smile awhile and while you smile, Your fame will spread full many a mile. When Miss Henninger takes you to a show, Remember you are with a lady and don't blow your nose. Nor don't disgrace her by coughs or sneeze, Or she will never give you B's. And when you walk along the street, Be careful that you look neat. For you will be sure to make a hit, If you do not act as though you have a fit, And when in the show you all are sit- ting, Remember that it is not the place for knitting, And when something upon the stage is funny, Do'n't begin to laugh like old John Bunny. Bessie Golstein. She should worry She was a wise student that said that she hadn't time to worry. In the daytime she was too busy with her school work, and in the night she was too sleepy. Bessie Coller This is the celebrated class of 10-B-4 Mornings they're always waiting at the doo-rg Our bookkeeping sets we sure can keep, And report time never makes us weep. May met Miss Cooley going to her shorthand room, Says Miss Cooley to May, Well, how many pages have you for today? Says May to Miss Cooley, Eight, the same as usual. ...UI U2 Higgs? -352: ' 'nu Oz...

SOCIAL NKYPES The class of 10-B--l held a Halloween party at the home of Miss Helen Puhl- man, Cochran Itoad, Mt. Lebanon, Fri- day, October 29. Some of the members of other classes were invited, as well as a few friends of the hostess. Alexander Forrest certainly was frightened when he saw two men com- ing into the orchard when he was up an apple tree, for he thought they were the owners ot' the orchard: but they turned out to be Mct'lellan and Micheal Ayoob. Sam and Alex proved to be very good climbers, almost as good as monkeys: but Alexander is a monkey anyway. you know. Some of the girls brought apples home with them and our beloved president, Charles ltupp.

20 The Commercial Record Civic Club Officers President - Vice President - William Pefferman Secretary - - - Martha Knapp - Frances Stone Mr. Nichols:-Everybody read the invisible motto on the board. Miss Cooleyi- To 10-B-3 class after Mr. Deever's talk about his travels. I don't think it is proper to clap your hands and stamp your feet after hear- ing a good speech. It is just like going into a cheap restaurant and showing how you enjoy the SOUP by the music yo-u make. The Cook took a Knapp. A New Song Sing a song of shorthand, Twelve pages in a row, Every Uight the same old thing, Buggy we will go. Won't we all feel happy, When the worldly bells do ring? We will enter into business, With a new song to sing. Martha Knapp. One, two, three, Who are we? We are the members Of the 10-B-3. Janet Main. Won't it be a grand thin When the 10-B-3's get through, Oh! Won't the teachers glad cry ring, When the 10-B-3's get through. 0' D1 The 10-B-3's sometimes regret, That they have made their teachers fret, Oh! surely our teachers won't forget That the 10-B-3's are through. P. Glassner. HAFTER ALL After all There are only three things That are really Worth while- To do good, To bekgood, And always to smile. Esther Silverman. We are the students of the 10-B-3 But very seldom are we freeg For every day we get much work Which we must do, and dare not shirk. L. Friend. What night work did Night work made the 10-A's what they are, The 10-B's what they'1l be, And made the 9-A's to the 9-B's say, You're not so smart as we. Who's empty in Room 15? CM. TJ Mary Thomas.

22 The Commercial Record brought home a bouquet of Chrys- anthemums. The visit to Puhlman's greenhouses was delightful, and every one attending the party received a large Chrysanthemum, and also a favor, a little red or white teddy-bear. Several of the boys were minus their teddy bears before they went home. The teachers, Miss Hennlnger, Miss Cooley, Miss Moore, and Miss Kroenert proved that altho teachers are cranky some- times, they can be just as sociable as we can. Did you know that? The Heats were fine. One of Miss Knopf's friends played the piano while several of the girls, and Charles Rupp, danced. The walk up the road in the moon- light was another one of the treats our class had that the other classes didn't. The other people in the street car, com- ing home, must have thought that a stray crowd of maniacs had boarded the car. But all had one grand and glor- ious time. Mary Hawkins. Miss Nieberg:-The population of England is 22,000,000. Miss Henninger:-Are you manicur- ing your nails, Miss Boris? Helen Boris:-No n1a'am I'm just taking the dirt out of them. Miss Kann:-Why don t you make a goal, Mary? Mary Hawkins:-The other side won't let me. SPEEIUH INIAKING IN ENGLISH FLASS Most of us have experienced what is, perhaps, one of the most terrible of sensations, that of making a speech. To get us before the class to make a speech is, to most of us, the hardest, the very hardest thing the well-n1ean- ing English teacher can ask us to do. I remember the Iirst time I recited. I never have even pretended to be an elocutionist and I had a rather uneasy feeling that something would go wrong. My prophetic thought was not wrong. When my name was called I rose with shaky knees and walked to the front of the room. My voice seemed to' catch, my eyes blurred, and I felt as if I were going to pronounce the death sentence of my dearest friend. How I got started with that speech I do not know, but I finally finished that speech and went to my seat. I vowed that I would never recite again. But three weeks later I recited, and three weeks after that I repeated the operation, and although I have gotten over the shaky-knee stage I feel that I have been improving-slowly, very slowly. I suppose I have many sympathizers, because when the subscription for the Literary Digest expired I am sure there were many prayers of thankfulness of- fered up. But we were stung because the teachers kept up the 'torture by assigning topics from other magazines. Such is life. Elizabeth Darling. A girl was in her shorthand classy The teacher told her she was failing fast: She decided to get busy and to work hard, And at last she got an A on her report card. Anna Horwitz. 10-A's we bid you all adieu And wish you success in all you do. Mr. Kingsley:-The Friendship Club would like to- have some funny pictures for the scrap books. Your own photo- graphs might come in handy. Mr. Chambers, coming into Mr. Kingsley's bookkeeping class:-What good attention those pupils give you, Mr. Kingsley. Mr. Kingsley:-Oh, it all depends upon how good-looking you are.
