 ormato »ocictp HE Kcrmaw Society of the High School of Commerce is now in its second year. The Society is composed of the Senior girls and was organized to promote friendship and good fellowship among the girls. Aside from establishing these, it aids us in an educational way. The members receive practice in parliamentary law and the whole organization is managed in a strictly businesslike manner. The name Kcrmaw is an Orean word, with a secret meaning that is surely an inspiration to those who know it The club meets the second and fourth Wednesday cf each month, and, when business matters are dispensed with, interesting programs arc rendered by the members. The programs embrace both literary and musical forms of entertainment. One of the rules of the Society is that no member is entitled to hold office twice. In this way nearly all members hold seme office during their Senior year, thereby dividing honors equally. The Kcrmaw Society entertained the football team in November and the Ecremmoc Society in January. The members were also guests at a delightful dance given by the Ecremmoc Society in March. As Junior girls become Seniors they are initiated into the mysteries of the Society. Miss Amidon, our faithful adviser, has worked with untiring zeal for the success of the Society and through her thoughtful and helpful suggestions has guided the girls along the right course, thereby winning their love and esteem. A good deed accomplished and sent forth into the world goes on forever, always growing; so it seems the formation of the Kormaw Society was an accomplishment which has given to the world better, wiser, and more intelligent girls. FLORENCE FELLER, ’ll.

Cl)c Ccremmoc literary ls octetp THE Ecremmoc Literary Society is composed of boys who are members of the Senior Class of the High School of Commerce. This Society was organized by the Senior Boys of 1910, and re-organized at the meeting of the boys of the Senior Class of 1911, with a total membership of thirty. The object of the society is to promote friendship and personal interest among the members and prepare them along literary lines. At the first session it was decided to hold meetings the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, and to elect officers each term. An executive committee was elected to prepare programs for all meetings which have been devoted to literary topics and to the discussion of current events. During the year parliamentary drills were carried on, and members were called upon frem time to time to express views upon different topics It was decided to take up debating to benefit the members of the Society, two of whom belong to the debating team. As a result many interesting and helpful debates on questions of deep importance have taken place. Some of the members of the Ecremmoc Society, George Groman, Frank Crebbin and Ferdinand Meier, have formed an orchestra which has furnished music for the club on several occasions. It was especially appreciated when the club entertained the Kormaw Society. At the beginning of the third term new members were admitted to the society, who, with the present Juniors, will carry on and extend the work of the society. We must not overlook the valuable help given us by our faculty adviser, Mr. Gehring, who aided us with good advice and helpful suggestions. We trust that the Juniors of this year will continue the work of the Ecremmoc Society as successfully and profitably as has its present members. (Ecremmoc (Entertains WEDNESDAY, March twenty-second, was a day long to be remembered by the girls of the Kormaw Club. The Ecremmoc Society had extended an invitation to the club to be their guests on that occasion. In order that all the Senior girls might participate a special meeting of their society was held for the purpose of initiating the new members. The Ecremmoc boys proved capable entertainers and gave a delightful program. The Club Orchestra furnished the music, and dancing was therefore especially enjoyed. Refreshments were served by the club members who acted the part of caterers. Surely the Ecremmoc Society does entertaining in fine style, and the Kormaw Club members, one and all, voted them royal hosts. 57
