16 THIS ACADEMY BELL THE COMMERCIAL CLUB On October 6, 1927, the Commercial Club held its first meeting for the year. This club, which was started last year by Miss Coburn, was organized to help the Commercial students to gain more knowledge of the business world. The meetings were held once a month. The officers for the year were: President, Harland Ballard, Vice-President, Ruth Pratt, Secretary and Treasurer, Evelyn Baker. Owing to the resignation of Harland Ballard, Ruth Pratt acted as President. For speakers this year we have had Mr. Benjamin Newman, who spoke about his trip in Europe a year ago, Mr. B. W. Tinker, who spoke on What I Expect from My Stenographerf' Mr. A. O. Pike, who spoke of the interest one must have in his work to become proficient, and he then told us about the insurance business, and Mr. LaCasce, who told us about the importance of a secretary. One of our meetings was devoted to entertaining the French and Latin Clubs, another to a snowshoe hike, in which nearly all the club members participated, and the entertainment of the alumni of the Commercial department. The year ended with a banquet at Ye Olde Inn, with a special meeting following at the Academy Hall. FRENCH CLUB With the help of Miss Piper, our French teacher, a French Club was organized. Only those taking French 2 and 3 could belong. Ofiicers were elected as follows: President, Ruth Wiley. Vice-President, Edward Buzzell. Secretary and Treasurer, Charlotte Wentworth. Many helpful and interesting meetings have been held during the year. On one occasion Mr. Newman spoke to the club. He told us about France, the customs and ways of the French people. Another time a snowshoe hike and hot- dog roast was enjoyed after the business meeting. Mr. Hastings told of his experiences in France during the World War. Our business meetings and entertainments have been various in form, but we have learned much concerning France and its people, and we have had many very enjoy- able evenings, so-Vive le cercle francais!

I8 'l'IlIG ACADEMY BELL THE VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club, which was formed last year, has taken on new and brighter aspects this year. This Club is fast taking its place among the leading clubs of the school, and the future will find it the most prominent men's club on the campus. At a meeting shortly after the end of the football season, the members of the club decided to have a varsity F. sweater. Since the initial cost was more than the school could stand, the members planned three movies to be given and the proceeds were to be used to buy these sweaters. Two of the pictures have been given and due to the loyal support of the student body and the townspeople, the pictures were a success both financially and otherwise. At the initiation the following football men were put through a cou1'se of sports for the benefit of the students and townspeople: John Hurd fMgr.D, Keisman, Norton, Pike, Steves, Meyers, Burton. Loppy McLaughlin, being the only new letter man in basketball, has offered to render a few solos for his right to be a Varsity Club member. It is rumored that McLaugh- lin will give a special Keith's act at the movie Saturday night before long. At a special meeting a committee of three men, namely, Buzzell, Perkins and Ted Anketell, drew up a new consti- tution and at the same time the following officers were elected: President, Dud Perkins. Secretary-Treasurer, Ted Anketell. 1 1 cis
