CRIMSON and BLUE THE COMMERCIAL CLUB HE Commercial Club was organized last year by the Juniors of the Commercial Department, and as they became Seniors the organi¬ zation was expanded to include both the Senior and Junior classes of that dep irtment. Mr. Albert Morris., a past presi¬ dent of the club, in conjunction with Miss Conn and Miss Noland, was re¬ sponsible in a large degree, for the organization of the Commercial Club. The present organization of the club is as follows: President.Joseph H. Sliillady Vice-President .Harry Hall Secretary.Dorothy E. Driscoll Treasurer.Arthur S. Berry Assistant Treasurer ...John Conway The threefold purpose of the club is: 1. To be a big brother to the un¬ der-classmen of the Commercial De¬ partment ; that is., to help them with their studies in co-operation with the teachers. 2. To promote a better school spirit. 3. To make the members of the Commercial Department uerter ac¬ quainted with each other so that they may better enjoy their school life. The members of the club have aimed to achieve the first purpose by co-operating with some of the teachers of the department in helping students who, because of absence or some other reason, are behind in, or do not understand, their work. In times gone by it was an obvious fact that the students in the Com¬ mercial Department did not take a very active part in the numerous school activities. The Commercial Club has made that a thing of the past. This is clearly shown by the number of Commercial Students who have taken active part in the school activities. Members, of the club have served on all of the important committees; they are well represented in both the Boys’ and the Girls’ Glee Club: Dorothy Driscoll, the club’s secre¬ tary, was leading lady in the Glee Club “Show.’’’ Owing to the fact that many of the members are employed after school hours, thereby gaining prac¬ tical experience, the athletic repre¬ sentation of the club has not been so large as it otherwise might have been. In football the club was repre¬ sented by Roy Merchant, and by John Rogers who will have a better chance to show his wares next year. In football the club’s forte was the sidelines where two of its members, “Frona” and “Joe”, led the cheering sections, and also in the cheering sections where the other members cheered themselves hoarse. In base¬ ball the club was represented by Harry Hall, star pitcher, by “Pete” McCarren, second baseman, and by Chesley Corkum, the back-stop. In the organizations of both Senior and Junior classes the club is well represented. Dorothy Driscoll, the club’s secretary and Ray Burke are the secretary and the assistant treas¬ urer, respectively, of the Senior class, while in the Junior class, or¬ ganization, the vice-president, Harry Hall, and the treasurer, Orren Emer¬ son, represent the Commercial Club. In the class play the Commercial Club was represented by Dorothy Driscoll (Gwen) “Joe” Sliillady (Mr. Ralston), and Alice O’Leary (Sabel). The club also has its representa¬ tives in the field of oratory. Arthur Berry was chosen while the club’s president, “Joe” Sliillady, won the “First Prize for Boys” in the prize speaking contest. Members of the Commercial De¬ partment are better acquainted with each other and are imbued with a spirit of good-fellowship engendered and fostered by the good times that the club has provided for its mem¬ bers. Owing to the fact that there was so much of a social nature going- on in school the Commercial Club 1 did not feci it necessary to run as many entertainments as would otherwise have been necessary to make the members enjoy their school life; the many dances, given by the classes and by the individual mem¬ bers have been very well patronized by the members of the club as have also the various dancing schools. The club has accomplished much during the past year but we look to the future members of the Commer¬ cial Club to make the work it is do¬ ing more effective and far-reaching.
