30 The Commercial Record Mike:-You have to drive a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead. Cledl. Carl:-Yesterday, I saw two nuns who looked almost alike. Mike:-Yes, I suppose they were sisters. Miss Malick:-Carl, in the sentence, Round he throws his baleful eyes, what part of speech is round? Carl:-A noun. Miss Malick:-Why? Carl:-Because it tells that his eyes are round. First Student:-Our teacher doesn't know everything. Second Student:-Why? First Student:-Because she looked in the dictionary yesterday. 9-B--8 Mr. Smith makes himself very busy filling the girls' ink wells and sharpen- ing their pencils. Miss YVilson in the spelling class said, Margaret Schweitzer, give me a sentence with the word atmosphere Margaret gave the sentence, We live in the Northern Atmosphere. Rose Siedleson to Margaret Schweit- zer: Rose-That hat's too old for you. Margaret-It is not, it is only two weeks old. The 9-B-8 class held a Hallowe'en Party October 28, in the boys' Gym- nasium. The time was spent playing games and dancing. A special dance was given by Miss Sylvia Siegal. The luncheon was served by the girls of the class. Boy to teacher, SIX0l1ld a fellow be punished for something he did not do? Teacher, Of course not. It would be very unreasonable. Boy, VVell, I did not do my arith- metic. 9-B-9 Rose Shaffer trying to keep the class quiet, said:- Why don't you girls stop talking? You don't see me talking. David -Smith said that he went to West View Park one day and that he spent twelve dollars in change. Mother, I made a hundred in my lessons to-day? Well, John, what did you make it in? Well, I made forty in Arithmetic, twenty in Spelling, ten in Geography, and thirty in History. Johnny:--I've enough money to last me the rest of my life, providing I die tonight. Teache r to pupil:-James, conjugate the verb sick. James:-Positive sick, comparative worse, and superlative dead. TVVO NOTABLE AUDITORIYM MEETINGS Assistant Superintendent, S. S. Baker of the Board of Education, ad- dressed the pupils of Business High School in the auditorium on Wednes- day, December 14. He spoke about the presentation of the Hag of Pitts- burgh to the Lord Mayor of London by the Boy Scouts. He also told us about some of the experiences he had while in London. Every one enjoyed his ad- dress. At an auditorium meeting held Tuesday, December 6, Mr. Roland Deevers, principal of the Washington School, gave anecdotes of his trip around the world. He described the customs so vividly that the pupils real- ly thought they were taking a trip with him. He exhibited some of the sou- venirs which he had brought back with him. Many of the pupils were de- sirous of having a few of the souvenirs.

32 The Commercial Record THE NOISE IN CHAPEL When we have chapel in special period there is no need of rushing up the steps like wild animals to get a seat because there are plenty of seats for all. After sitting down keep quiet until Mr. Austin calls for attention. While the speaker is talking do not whisper or make any unnecessary noises. When the speaker finishes talking do not keep on clapping until Mr. Austin has to call for attention. We can show our appreciation without this noisy clapping. Rose Hoffman, 10-B-2. KEEP TO THE RIGHT Almost every student in Business High School at one time or another, has been pushed and crowded while chang- ing rooms. If you are caught in a jam, especially in going into or leaving the annex, you may be a few minutes late for your periods. This could very easily be avoided if every pupil would keep te the right. The students who most dislike being crowded or pushed are the ones who push or crowd other people. Traffic policemen are needed in town because there are people who drive cars who are under the impres- sion that every one should make way for them. They dart across the street and do not worry over how near they came to hitting a pedestrian. This is the sort of people who usually end up with a serious accident. Has Business High School any pupils who belong in this class? The students who belong in this class know it, and they can help themselves and others if they will keep to the right in passing through the halls. Roy Verret, 10-B-2. st S ELF-CONFID ENCE No man can achieve anything with- out expecting, without demanding, or without assuming. He must have a strong faith in him- self at first, in order to accomplish great things. He must have not only a cause, but an efficent cause. The man or woman who is self relied, who is optimistic. is the man or woman who will ever achieve anything worth while. A race horse can not win the prize after it has lost self-confidence. 'So it is with a man who has lost his con- fidence. He will not win the prize of greatness. Many men fail in business, because they do not commit themselves to self- confidence. If a man doubts his ability to do what he sets out to do, if he thinks that others are better fitted to do it, if he has a timid, shrinking nature, he can never win anything great until he changes his mental attitude. He must turn fear, doubt, and timid- ness out of his mind, if he wishes to succeed. His own mental picture of himself is a good measure of himself and of his possibilities. If a man has no outreach in his mind, no spirit of daring, you may be certain he will never be of much importance in this world. He must have self-confidence. Frances Stone, 10-B-3. OFFICE PRACTICE What good is Office Practice in school? In Office Practice you learn what a business office is like, the kind of work you may expect to have. It gives you practical lessons that will be invaluable to you after you are out working.
