Sfjr Kxirmatn “0, be my friend and teach me to be thine.” SUCH is the underlying basis on which the girls of Commerce High build their characters. To so live that one can say, ‘‘I have no enemies,” is no longer to be considered as wonderful as formerly, consequently, we have organizations springing up all over the country similar to the Kormaw. The purpose of the club is three-fold: First: To promote friendship. Second: To establish a high standard of morals throughout the entire student body. Third: To WORK. Pleasure might be added as a fourth, but that follows work as naturally as the night the day. We have had our successes and our failures. Among the former may be numbered all our programs and the dances we arranged for the boys. The one big failure we encountered was the method of initiation, in which the new arrivals were made the victims of considerable rudeness and much peppery water. This old style has been displaced by one much more dignified and attractive; one that inspires the new comer with earnestness and a desire to begin life properly by preparing to work; to work hard, not only for the amusement of her associates, but also for her own betterment. The Society pin has also undergone a change. It is now of Roman gold, bearing a letter K, so arranged as to harmoniously balance the beautiful daisy, whose graceful petals droop over the upper right hand corner, symbolic of innocence and constancy. 77
