ECHO'S ADVERTISING SALESMEN GVER the top! Thanks to our advertising sales- men we again succeed in publishing a moderately priced Eastern Echo. The boys have worked hard, toiling for hours after school and the edi- torial staff wishes to take this oppor- tunity of expressing its appreciation of their good work. Special thanks are due Mr. Powell, the advertising adviserg Dave Max- well, advertising manager, and Doug- las Wigmore, assistant advertising manager. Few realize just how important a factor advertising is to a publication, especially a school magazine. With- out advertisments the magazine would not be available for much less than a dollar a copy.

OUR SPECIAL CLA+SSES SPECIAL CLASS I Joe soLoMoN, SPECIAL I LAST September, the eighth con- secutive Special 1 formed at Eastern Commerce. Made up of savants from city collegiates, the class gathered. Under Miss S. A. Smith's direction, they've received a dose of commercial education and have laid aside Latin and Greek CWhat a re- lieflb for a year. School work was put away one November night, and ye fair damsels and handsome Romeos gathered on the lake shore for a corn roast. Sporting blood has also gathered in this class. Michael Shamata CQuel Hommel, a regular player on the senior rugby team, was a valuable asset. Even the journalistically in- clined had a chance to let out their energies. They succeeded in produc- ing a scandal sheet . Success to the editors! The thought of learning shorthand has often thrilled the collegiate stu- dent and now his dream has come true. And is he happy? We wonder. His efforts were not fruitless and by Christmas he was initiated into the mysteries of stenography dictation. Yuletide holidays had much to do with the dispersing of the Specials. Many relinquished their hold on Room 208 seeking a more money-making proposition. Others returned to their Alma Maters, and a few gave educa- tion up as a bad job. The remaining veterans were slow in recovering from New Year's celebrations and before they knew it mid-year examinations were hovering over their heads. Then came the reports, followed by a celebration Cnot of the reportsj at Verna Mucklestone's home. Ten SPECIAL CLASS 2 Jos MORRISON, SPECIAL 2 FOR the first time we have a Special 2. The reason for the formation of this class was that so many wanted this popular course that two classes were necessary. We were represented on the senior rugby team by S. Meelan who, by the Way, is some student. And who said basketball? Not Special 1 surely, to whom we administered a trouncing. Finally, we must leave something on the scroll for future Special 2's to gloat over. Our hearts are over- flowing with the milk of human kind- ness after an ideal school year in dear old Special 2. Yes, sir, it's old in experience already, b'lieve it 'r not! -k if ir MERCHANDISING -CLASS GWEN DINGWALL OUR Merchandising Class is one of the four classes of its kind in ex- istence. It is the result of enthusias- tic efforts of an education and mer- chandising group interested in fur- thering the exploration of a hitherto neglected field and in creating new opportunities for Canadian youth. A mistaken conception of values and a narrow interpretation of mer- chandising have in past days been re- sponsible for the limitations and inef- iiciencies of this branch of commerceg and the present social and economical status of our country would seem to indicate the necessity for a wider in- terest and appreciation of merchan- dising in its fullest sense. The class gratefully acknowledges the invaluable assistance of the East- ern High School of Commerce, the re- tail institutions and the govern- mental departments. EASTERN ECHO

Q0-5 5. 6 X k Q +33 f 9llll4 rf 'I . is f I ED IAL W-NN !pAa GUR FIFTH BIRTHDAY THE Echo is out! We offer you in the 1933 Eastern Echo a year book of our school. With- in its pages are memories which will grow more precious with the passing of each year. It is our hope that this Ectsteriz. Echo will serve the purpose for which it is intended, that herein you will find the pictures of friends and com- rades, and that the whole effect will be to preserve memories of happy, useful days at Eastern Commerce. 1: ir if IT'S THE SPIRIT THAT WINS THE wise-looking owl at the top of the page never looked out on a more troubled, more chaotic world than this to-day. In days like these when civilizations are toppling, when the world's finan- cial structure is disrupted, it is necessary, above all, to maintain the Hesprit de corps , which brings us to the subject. The success of business, the theatre and politics is built upon the enthus- iasm of those engaged in them. The essential quality is simply a further expression of school spirit, which should be acquired here. You are in school now, training for your life's work. Work with spirit, TweNe with a song on your lips and happi- ness in your heart. Then, when you enter the cruel, cold world Cas some thinkl you will face it with composed outlook. Do what is to be done-and with animation. The place to develop spirit is right here in school. Go to- games and cheer yourself hoarse. Take part in after-school activities. Smile when detained, it isn't the worst thing that could happen. In short, accept everything with equan- imity. And then we can truly say that a school spirit is ours. if if if EASTERN'S GRADS ENTER VARSITY LAST fall, two tall, alert-looking chaps walked up to the Registrars desk at the U. of T. and enrolled in the Commerce and Finance course. An ordinary event, yes, but an important one for Eastern Commerce. Those two' boys-Ronald Sheen and Wilson Woodrow-were the first students to enter the University from a commercial school. A striking and novel achievement! Congratulations! Messrs. Sheen and Woodrow. The school is proud of you and looks forward to your capturing a share of Varsity 'laurels. -YE EDITOR. EASTERN ECHO' . .
