Take my seat upon entering class- rooms and work quietly. li. ,Help eliminate unnecessary noise throughout the building at all times. T. Talk or laugh in moderate tones at appropriate times. I . Help keep my place ot business in good order by depositing waste material in proper containers. Q 9. Conduct mysell' according to the standards of ladies and gentlemen. IO. Keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. The present term has been the most successful and the most profitable in the history ot' the Junior Civic Club ol' Business High School. THE H1 Y The Hi Y is an organization composed ot selected boys whose purpose is: To create, maintain and extend throughout their school and community high stand- ards ol' Christian character : to make themselves 'better men, physically, men- tally and morallyg to remove all comou- lflage and hypocrisy from their minds and souls, to help the world about them, and to secure honest and high standards ot scholarship. iVe believe that the power which brought us to earth has assigned us a definite task and that it is our duty to educate ourselves to this task. iVe believe that hard work is the only thing that ever produced worth- while goods and pays worthwhile divi- dends. The Hi Y has endeavored to assist the boys ot' this school who are behind in their work by forming a Help Com- mittee. This club is a strong advocate ot clean scholarship and clean sports. Recently it held an Honor XVeek and had all the students who believed in clean scholarship sign pledge cards. Plans are being made to entertain the Soccer Team sometime this semester. Every Thursday the members meet at the Central Y. M. C. A. with the lli Y Clubs ot' Fifth Avenue, liiverside, and the Ralston High Schools.

To become better acquainted. 3. To foster a better school spirit. -1. To develop leadership. 5. To promote class activities that will call into use information and skill obtained through school sub- jects. Short sketches emphasizing the care of the skin, hair and teeth were written and given by girls from different classes. On December 7 the program was a review of an article, Good Manners for all Occasions written by a well known high school principal. The program for December 19, the last meeting before the December vaca- tion, was a review of the skteches given at previous meetings. The girls had as their guests at that meeting the mem- be1's of the 9-B Faculty and the 9-B Boys. The girls' holiday plans were gifts made by them, and contributions of fruit. These were sent to various Day Nurseries and Public Homes.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOJIY Two years ago Miss Irene McDermott, Director of Household Economy, gave Business High Girls a new interest in Domcstic Science in that she sent Miss Kronfrt, who was to teach the girls to make the things they needed. Exhibits have been held twice each semester showing samples of the ac- complishments of our girls, and a great deal of talent was discovered. Several girls found that they had more talent for sewing and designing clothes than for shorthand and so were given a special schedule giving them more time tor the development of that talent and are now employed in dress- making establishments, making good. Many of our girls wanted to learn to embroider and knit. They were given the opportunity and now they know how to keep their fingers busy, in leisure time, to beautify their clothes and hoinc-s. Among the services rendered by the Household Economy Department were the making ot' one hundred and ten cos- tumes t'or our Operetta Cinderella , given at Schenley High last June. An American flag was made, also a I rench flag. Typewriter covers are mended, athletic garments worn by our boys are kept in repair. -.-lima Jacob.
