44 The Commercial Record AS YOU LIKE IT Poor Grlanda a brother had, Whose cruel treatment made him sad, He told on him a hundred ribs, And planned for the wrestler to break his ribs. But when he did the wrestler throw, Rosalind, on him, did her chain bestow, And here was a case of love at first sight, He couldn't forget her, try as he might. Her cruel uncle to Rosalind did cry, Get out of here in ten days, or you will die. But Celia, cous, was indeed a brick, For to sweet Rosalind, she did stick. To Arden, as man and maid they went, Here, too, Orlanda and Adam by fate were sent, Robt.Raw.sthorneEn ravin Co. - fe. -04 A 7- s r Q 6' I ENGRAVINGS PHOTOGRAPHS DRAWINGS ' PRINTING ADVERTISING SERVICE 'HES' Q,-4 complete service from conception to execution We offer the co-operation of our experience and facilities to produce your wants Now in the forest they did meet, ,A A And then to Rosalind life was sweet.

The Commercial Record 43 Suddenly, as I am dreaming of by- gone days, I hear a bell ringing, and I mentally say to myself, Sam get a move on that's the bell for typewrit- ing. Samuel McClelland, 10-B-4, l'IlEANl+lRt PLAYS All the members of our class surely appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed at- tending the Nixon Theater to see Shakespeare's As You Like It. Our English teacher gave us a syn- opsis of the play, and read to us some of the selected passages, to give us some notion of the general story. The play was much better relished and un- derstood by us on account of this pre- paration. When we heard these beauti- ful extracts, some unaltered, from the lips of Rosalind, Orlando, Jacques, Touchstone, Adam, and others, we fully appreciated the pathos and delightful humor of this play, and our wish is that this play may cultivate our taste for better, cleaner, more wholesome plays Perhaps, you have always thought Shakespeare a dry old preacher. If you have, this good clean-cut love story tsurprised, are you?l combined with comedy tmore surprised?J would have changed your mind very quickly. The advice given to lovers by Rosa- lind was laugh-provoking. Touchstone was welcomed by everyone, as was shown by the laughing foces when he appeared. Orlando, poor Orlando, what a hero he did make. The girls wish Orlandos lived in this century. tBoys. it is up to you to supply them.J Each character has his own diverting and amusing personality. If you had see nit, you would have felt, rather than seen the deep feeling revealed in this story which is charac- teristic of all Shakespeare's works. The cheap plays you can see any time would be far removed from your thoughts, and when they would occur to you, you would shrink from and re- pulse them. As You Like It is one of the clran- est, sweetest stories ever written. May all future plays bt- as clean and sweet. ll K 9- X- SI-ZWING A sewing exhibition, under the direc- tion of Miss Kroenert. Sewing Instruct- or, was held Thursday and Friday, December 16 and 17 in the auditorium. The exhibition, wl1icl1 was open to the public, consisted of sensible flannelette night dresses, dressing sacques for mothers, bloomers, princess slips, shirt waists for the business girls: particular- ly seventy five of our girls who are ex- pecting to graduate next month: waists for mothers, skirts made over front capes and other discarded clothes. a dress made from a cape, some remodel- ed dresses, a dress suitable for gradua- tion, dresses for the baby, a housekeep- ing outfit, several kitchen aprons, a coat made from n1other's old coat for little sister, several coats with hats to match for younger sisters, several regulation Peter Thompson school dresses, a haby's knitted sweater, some knitted wash cloths. hats made from scraps of velvet, remodeled hats, doll clothes fo rthe Toy nxission, scarfs, a purse and a piano scarf. The exhibit had a very distinct note of economy. a good lint-, and a great variety ol' article snecessary to complete any girl's wardrobe. lt is a notable fact that the girls. in taking ad- vantage of the opportunity prest-ntetl by the sewing department. did lttll forget the other members of their home. Bliss Bryce and Miss Me-igan visited the ex- hibit and were very well pleased with the resttlt of the work done by the girls of the Business High School. Mary Shall, 10-A-3.
