We believe that the High School of Commerce is the medium best adapted to the development of talent for the business world. We believe in hard work and honesty as great factors in attaining success. We believe that these and other traits tending toward success are best developed in the High School of Commerce. We believe that a healthy body and mind are the foundation of a lifework, and that to secure them, athletics and mental training go hand in hand. But we believe that business success is not the whole object in life. There are higher ideals. Social life and civic duly should command even more attention. We believe that it is the duty of each citizen not only to take an interest, but to participate in public, as well as in social affairs. Above all, we believe in the growth of democracy, in which all have equal chances to develop, along different lines, the various talents that God gives. We believe that the High School of Commerce is well able to inculcate the spirit of democracy in our future citizens. The many types of scholastic, as well as interscholastic activity, afford equal opportunity to all to develop talent along various lines. This is the carrying out of the true spirit of democracy. We believe that the best part, of man is a sturdy, upright character. We believe that the character development of the people in the past and the growth of democracy in the past have combined to give ns our present manner of living. We believe that the continued growth of these two forces will give us the mode of life of the future. We believe that our future life will be nearer the true spirit of democracy, nearer the Right Life, than it has been in the past. ON the night of December the twentieth, the Seniors held their Formal Dance at Kasermairs Academy. Everybody was there! Or almost everybody, and those that were not there, were very sorry that they had stayed away. Some came in machines, some in cabs and some in street cars. At eight o’clock the Grand March started, led by the president, Henry Reich. During the march, as customary, the programs, little yellow and white affairs, were handed out. They were soon filled and the dancing began, dreamy waltzes and lively two-steps. There were sixteen dances and four extras, and even then there were hardly enough. At ten o’clock ices were served, and when the music started the home waltz, all were sorry that the end of such a delightful evening had come so soon. THE SENIOR FORMAL DANCE. ALICE MERKT. 15
