KhRjVJ W'J HE Kormaw Society was organized in October, 1909, at the High School of Commerce, and consists of all the girls in the senior class. The purpose of the society is to promote friendship among the girls of the school, also to aid them both morally and mentally. The name of the club is Kormaw, an Orean word, inspiring those who know its meaning to do great and wonderful things. The club flower is the daisy, symbolic of purity, and doubly attractive as it also contains the colors of the school. The work of the club has been to drill the girls in parliamentary law, also to keep them posted on events happening in the world and to enable them to make speeches, if they should ever be obliged to do so, without previous preparation. The programs of the year have been very interesting enabling the girls to show their ability in literary and musical lines. The club was not organized for work alone, because “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” The girls have had a number of pleasures among which was an entertainment for the Ecremmoc Club. Lincoln and Washington were subjects of the literary essays, also musical numbers were «given by some of our members. After a most excellent program, lunch was served in the lunch room. When this repast was over, speeches were made by the visiting faculty and also by the vice-president of the Ecremmoc Club. Our faculty advisor, Mrs. Pardee, has worked untiringly throughout the year for the success of the club. During the third term the juniors were admitted and they will carry on the work where the seniors leave off. Although the Society is a new one, a bright future is assured it, because of its aim and the enthusiam of its present members. 49 EDMO COMBS, 1910.
