SJhr Alumni FTBR a year of pleasant companionship in 1910, the first thought of the class which had just been graduated was to continue that companionship. The result was the organization of the Alumni. The first important step was the adoption of the constitution and the election of officers. Shortly after this, the Alumni gave a dancing party in the gymnasium of the High School of Commerce. It was an altogether pleasant evening. The next big event was a dance at Bedford Glens. The Alumni reserved the floor for the evening. This was in September and the weather was still warm. Those present enjoyed themselves to the utmost and the evening was a great success. In January of Nineteen Hundred and Twelve, an entertainment was given under the auspices of the Alumni. This entertainment was the biggest success in the history of the Alumni. All of the numbers on the program were rendered by persons of special talent. A good sized audience attended. The Alumni invites all those who have graduated to join the organization and enjoy the good times yet to come. WALTER B. MADIGAN, 1910.

A TUtstt lo tire ffirst Sjiyh rljuol of (Eonxmrrrr ONE day last November Mr. Weimer extended an invitation to our school to visit the West High School of Commerce, which we very heartily accepted. Mr. Twiggs secured a special car to take us to the School. There we were greeted by Mr. Weimer with that broad, loving smile which not only assured us that we were welcome but also made us feel that we were a part of that school. School not being dismissed, we examined the museum and gymnasium. Then Mr. Weimer took us through the following rooms where students were at work: The Banking and Finance room where students are taught the value of banking and finance; the Botany room in which the students study the growth of plants and various other things; the Typewriting and Shorthand rooms from which competent typists and stenographers come prepared to excel in that kind of work; the Art rooms with their walls decorated with drawings and designs made by the art students. As we went through the Typewriting and Shorthand rooms some of our Freshmen eagerly watched the typewriting and were filled with ecstasy as they meditated over the thought of some day becoming as skilled in their lines of work as these students are. Then we went to the assembly room where the whole school soon assembled and Mr. Weimer gave a short address of welcome. After this we were entertained by a play which was composed and acted by some of the Seniors. In this play they tried to show the value of a competent student to his employer and the chance a good graduate of the High School of Commerce has to obtain a desirable position in the business world. After the play when school was dismissed, some of our students lingered about the halls chatting with chums and old friends. HAROLD LAWRENCE, East High School of Commerce. 15
