Seniors Sa )e Tour Money by Publishing Magazine Quite a lot of arguments have originated over the fact that the senior class is publishing a magazine this year instead of following the example of making an annual, set by former students. However, it happens that the present staff is immune to sentiment, and no drastic changes have been made, whatever the result of anv such unofficial debate might have been. The primary benefit of such a course is gained by you, my readers and, verilv, you should well appreciate the fact. Such an edition as this tells you in just the proper space, exactly the same thing which would, otherwise, have been unnecessarily stretched over several extra sheets of valuable paper. If our program leads you to have some extra time over your allotted amount for reading this publication, we suggest that you spend it in reading Shakespeare or, better still, read this again. Another benefit you gain is through the price you pay. Not only do you get our great work at a lower cost than you would otherwise, but you can rest satisfied that we are all in favor of economy and will not go forth into the world as politicians to take all your money away from you through taxes. No, Mr. Coolidge wasn't responsible for our idea of thrift. Do not feel that we are victims of sluggish habits nor consider this a pamphlet or something produced without effort, for quite a lot of honest labor was consumed in its preparation and, don’t you remember “An honest man’s the noblest work of God.” MEMORIES William Parke The minutes Hy by, one by one. The hours are gone; the day is done. Then lingering memories arise; They bring old pictures to my eyes. I look to them for sweet refrain Of all the things I crave, in vain— The dear ones gone, no more to come. The dear old school, with all its fun. But years of work and pain I see; Crushed and destroyed will ever be The thoughts of hope—my memories. Page Twenty-nine

'I'hk Gkorgktown 11i-Times 1929-1930 HigK Speed and Accuracy Accomplished by Commercial Students Georgetown to Enter Teams in The Shorthand, Typing, And Bookkeeping Contests This Year Quite a number of honors have been taken by the commercial students during the past year. Although nothing they have done is nation wide, hard work must always be offered to win in any kind of competition, and these people, along with Mrs. Woodard. should be given due credit for their accomplishments. About the first introduction to real competition was experienced by tiie students when Mrs. Wooward decided to enter the commercial contests of this district. Two classrooms full of quickly-palpitating hearts settled down to the task of elimination among friends. This, in itself, was quite trying on the future court reporters and Lindbergh trailers, but soon the ordeal was over and the teams were chosen. After a lot of drill and practice, the district meet rolled around and settled in Georgetown Hi on the morning of May 5, 1929. All the standard bearers of the district’s numerous towns assembled, after a long and restless night, and the contest was soon under way. At the end of a seemingly infinite period of time, the judges announced their decisions, and brought several students out of a period of subconsciousness. Georgetown had won every phase of the meet into which she had entered! Drilling! Practicing! More practicing! Such a good showing was made that it was decided that a trip to Bloomington for the state finals would do the victors some good. This event took place on May 17 and 18, with the shorthand competition on the first day and the typewriting and bookkeeping on the latter. The city was quite crowded with young aspirants of business, and a lot of useful experience was gained by those who were thus honored. The contest started early and went through like a comet, thus making it necessary to start for home when one was only really loginning to enjoy himself. The trip was an interesting one, and besides the education and experience gained, many beautiful sights were seen. Those taking the trip were Margaret Fazekas. Mildred Stedman, Mary Chantos, Thelma Thomas, Bernice Houghton, William Moore, Mildred Alabaugh, Ruby Ramsey, Clara Zielinski, Ruth Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Woodard, Mr. Almy and Mrs. William Stedman. Georgetown was chosen again this year as the place for the district contest which was held April 26. Teams were entered from Georgetown in beginning and advanced typing, in 60-word, 80-word and 100-word shorthand dictation, and in l ookkecping. Following is a list of awards that have been won by the commercial students of the Class of 1930: Mildred Alabaugh— Royal 30 word certificate. Royal 40 word pin. Woodstock 23 word pin.
