They Mean Business Learning to be the future bankers and financiers of tomorrow is no easy job, but Central boys and girls have found that patience and hard work are a big help. Shorthand and typing may mean hitting the keys and scratching a pen to some folks, but it means a job and a future for these commercial students. Bookkeeping comes right along, too, to be a help for those days after graduation. By handling the school's finance, students get practical training in banking and bookkeep- ing, while the typing students receive valuable experience from typing term sheets and other materials for the teachers. These students also take courses in economics and commercial law to round out their knowledge of the commercial world. School, in the classroom or at home, may have been taken rather lightly before, but these commercial law students realize they have a job to do, and they mean to do it.

Therefore the nirls interested in commercial work have seen Fit to organize a club in which they strike a happy medium between work and play. As one of Central's oldest organizations, the Commer- cial club, recently renamed the K-mesh Klub , has played an important part in molding the futures of many girls, who have chosen steno- araphy as their profession. At the weekly meet- ing of the K-mesh Klub , a auest speaker tells the girls about his particular line of work in the commercial field, so they can decide what phase of work thev wish to continue in the future. Girls like to forget their lessons once in a while, and really have a good time, Once a month the members of the K-mesh Klub en- tertain with a social meeting. Buffet suppers and line parties seem to be the favorite type of enjoyment, and luncheons and parties are held in the homes of various members. For the nast few years Mrs. O. T. Gilbertson and Miss Eunice Newman have been the co-sponsors ot the organization.
