THE SENIOR FORMAL. OMMERCE SENIORS gave their first Formal Dance on January nineteen, at which time about seventy couples participated. It was held in the nicest hall of the suburbs, The Lakewood Tennis Club. About 8 o’clock people began to arrive, some came in taxi-cabs, some on foot and others on the Cleveland Railway's motor cars. The grand march, which was led by Ralph Mullen, our president, and Melania Cadisch, our vice president, started at 8:15, a little early for some of the East-siders, but as a rule most of the people were on time. Following the grand march, programs in gold and white on embossed leather were distributed. Soon these were filled and we started to dance. There were twenty dances in all. Some slow waltzes, some fast two-steps, a dreamy hesitation and a lively one-step, but the Commerce Seniors danced chiefly the ultra-select measures. Besides the chaperones, Mr. Weimer, Mr. Curry, Mr. Weber, Mr. Evans and Miss Bandeen represented the faculty and were honored guests. The event was marked by dignity and gayety, showing that Commerce people, though preparing to meet the world of business, are still ready to avail themselves of social pleasures.

MR. J. OLNEY MANVILLE. SUMMER in the midst of its glory promised a happy vacation to the widely scattered members of our school, and everything seemed at its brightest, when a dark cloud suddenly appeared, shutting out all joy. Mr. J. Olney Manville died at his home in Willoughby, after a short illness. His teaching was an inspiration to his classes, and music lessons were looked forward to with great pleasure. His happy disposition and winning ways seemed to create a desire on the part of every one to do his best. The teachers and pupils at the High School of Commerce have sustained an irreparable loss by the death of our friend. co
