 pninr (fianig § alr 117' EDNESDAY of the week preceding January 22, there appeared at High School of Commerce a placard, bearing notices such as, “Save your pennies for January 22.” “The Seniors will show us their candy making ability Monday,” and others equally as attractive. The posters in themselves were works of art and vied in originality with the advertising circulars written by the English class. The advertisements proved a great drawing card, for if they were so excellent what must be the candy which they advertised! In consequence of the great expectations raised, excitement was intense. During recitations “meditation lapses” were of frequent occurrence, and between classes everybody was wondering and talking about the sweet announcements. Well, at last the important day arrived, for no matter what has been promised, all remember that the “proof of the pudding is in the eating.” So when bulky packages were hustled through the halls by important and dignified looking seniors, every individual pupil in school realized that he had a sweet tooth, and that tooth needed attention forthwith. Of course, from the time that the first candy box was sighted, everybody was anxiously awaiting the 11:30 bell to test the contents of those valuable packages. Between the third and fourth periods, the sweets were put on display in pretty gold and white booths built at the east and west ends of the lower hall. But the wonderful display of real home-Senior-madc candy, although ready for the exhibit, was not permitted to be seen by the coming customers until the psychological moment—the ringing of the bell for lunch. With the sound of the dinner gong great was the hurry and scurry at each end of the hall. It required the efforts of the two waitresses and one waiter in each booth to attend to the crowd of customers. But selling was pleasant, especially when the buyers were so easily satisfied, and all enjoyed the great rush of business. From the one cent peanut bars to the fifty cent boxes of candy, everything was disposed of by 12:30 P. M. This rapidity of sales can hardly be equalled considering the amount to be disposed of. It certainly showed the Seniors well drilled in salesmanship. Then, better than all. the sale not only yielded a good profit, but at the same time it afforded pleasure to the Seniors and the School. From one hundred to one hundred fifty pounds were sold, and $23 were realized. TILLIE C. WEISS, 1912. 54
