FRANCES REBOLD, B1 1-511 SMELLS Oh, there is nothing that I love so well As the fragrant odor of a smell, The smell of coffee just turned brown, The perfume of a scented gown, The smell of roses, fresh and sweet, The smell of peanuts on the street. I love the smell of bakery loaves, The fragrant sce11t of orange groves, The smell of water on the shore, The woodsy odor of sycamore, Oh, there is nothing that I love so well As the fragrant odor of a smell. LILLIAN BERMAN, A3 LINDBERGH I O, young flying Lindbergh came out of the XVest: Through all the wide world his plane was the best, But, save for his cat, friends he had none, He rode unafraid, and he rode all alone- He stayed not for rain and he stopped not for storm, He crossed the Atlantic, and arrived there at dawn. II So boldly he entered the Parisian Hallg Among comrades, ambassadors, gay friends and all. He won his great fame-this brave young lad: By doing the thing that men thought mad. III All Paris went wild over the deed that he did. He came back to America for a bride he did bid: An ambassadc-r's daughter, she turned out to be, Now they are married, his air-mate is she. HELEN RUBIN, A9 TYPING Type, type, typing away, Some think it toil. but I think it play, Keeping in time. Always in rhyme, Speedy and accurate, that's a good sign. I-I1LnA SCHULMAN, B11 7

CURRENT EVENTS IN THE ENGLISH CLASS We are giving one period a week in our English classes to the study of Current Events. We use the Literary Digest magazine for this work and we look forward eagerly to each new copy. XVe make one report each week on some tpoic of general interest. We follow a brief outline and do not write our report directly from the magazine. We read over the event until we are familiar with it. W'e take a few notes if necessary and then at some later time we write out a report, trying to use clear and effective English. VVe have thus covered many topics of general interest. IVe are learning to choose our reading from reliable and worth while newspapers and magazines. NVe are learning to withhold our judgments until we know all the facts in a case. We are getting information which will enable us to talk about the affairs of the world in an intelligent and interesting manner, but best of all, we are learning how to express ourselves in clear, forceful, correct English. Some of the best reports are posted on our bulletin board where we may all see them and thus be encouraged to do better work. FANNIE LEVINE, A4 MOTION PICTURE CLUB Every XVednesday during the seventh period the members of the Motion Picture Club meet in room 207 under the supervision of Miss johnson. The pictures that are shown to us are very interesting as well as instructive. Most of them are on history and geography. This term we have seen The XVater Cycle, The Colony That Settled Near Massachusetts Bay, Transpor- tation and Exportation of American Products. IVe have seen many other pictures as interesting as these. I am sure the time that is spent in the Motion Picture Club is a delight to all as it is to EVELYN GIMOVSKY, RCG, A Mcmbrr of Motion, Picture Cflub. THINGS ACCOMPLISHED IN MILLINERY Are you one of those girls who intend to take the Industrial course? If you are I am sure you will enjoy this type of work. As the Industrial Work is composed of two departments, Dressmaking and Millinery, and as I am now in the Millinery Department, I am going to tell you what we made. Useful articles, like lamp shades, hangers, baby bonnets, wire frames, and buckram were prepared, and hats were remodeled. This course trains you for your future life. It is very interesting. IYIINNIE ILXURIE, SBI THE MODERN BUSINESS GIRL Many girls who have succeeded in the business offices today come from the Corlears Business School. Mrs. Donohue, who sends these girls out, is sure that they are well prepared to meet the requirements of the business world. Neatness, accuracy and politeness are the things an employer looks for. Our girls are accurate in their typewriting and stenography, and their manners rank higher than the average. An employer will not have about him an untidy and discour- teous girl. VVhy should he? It is his right to demand that candidates for a position be well-trained. ELEANOR HIRSCHENFANG, B11 6

APPEARANCE When meeting a person, for the first time, one notices immediately, perhaps more instinctively than purposely, her appearance. One knows that a neat ap- pearance makes an excellent impression, It is the girl who is careful to dress daintily, who keeps her clothes neat and clean, who never over-dresses and who looks natural that will attract people. Arrange your hair becomingly. Do not go in for every fad and fancy of the beauty parlor. Then you will have an advantage over girls who are swayed by every breath of fashion. I offer a sincere word of advice to the graduates who are going forth to a new life and to new friends. A neat, and natural appearance is a deciding factor towards success in any walk of life. NIARTHA NVEINBERG. MUSIC Like a bud on the wing flighty, lofty and tlect, The voice of the lark as it sings, Mysterious, mellow and sweet, Soft, as water rippling 011 and on, Clear as the tinkle of a bell, Graceful, the carriage of the swan, Enthralling, the sound I love so well, NVhat is this charm that casts its hopeful spell? The song of the seraphs on the breath of a breeze, Alas! poor mortal can never tell, The Charm of ethereal songs such as these. MARION STARKE, B11 A NEW TEXT BOOK IN THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Akll classes in the Business Department are rejoicing over a new text book entitled General Business Sciencef' It is being used in the Civics classes and is creating a greater interest in that subject. The book is published in two parts by The Gregg Publishing Company. Part One is being used in the A classes, and Part Two in the B classes. Its authors are Lloyd L. Jones and Lloyd Bertschi. This book is most readable. lt gives much valuable business knowledge in an attractive way. As its title indicates, it gives a general knowledge of business which will serve as a background for further study in the held of other business subjects. There are many illustrations and graphs which give information in an inter- esting and impressive way. It has started us thinking in a serious manner about the world of business and our future in it. Vile A girls are certainly enjoying Part One of General Business Sciencen and are looking forward to Part Two for next term. General Business Science seems to mean much more to us than Civics ever did. A HANNAH ROSENFELD, A4 8
