HIGH ToR i Commercial Notes The Commercial Department was organized early in the school year, electing the following officers: . President Dorothy Reilly Vice-president Mary Swetz Secretary Katherine Hoffman Treasurer Betty Kinney '23 of' Two basketball teams were organized in the department during the inter-class basketball series. Both teams made an excellent showing. fa! ,S On April 13 the Business English class gave a play called Diogenes Looks for a Secre- tary. As Business English is entirely a commercial subject, we feel that the success of this play is something of which we may well be proud. V99 '22 During the year a number of commercial students have competed in typing and short- hand contests. In the early part of the year Remington awards were given to Marian Gold- smith and Elizabeth Knapp, and late in April four certificates from the Shorthand Radio Contest were awarded. They went to Gertrude VVahlen, Ola Tomlins, Lulu Hughes, and Anna Mackey. Three Remington awards for April were won by Anne Easton, Ola Tomlins and Gertrude Wahlen. 3 -29 Many of the Commercial Department have left school, having found good positions and from all of these people we receive favorable reports. The Commercial Department is very proud of its members this year for what they have done. ,AF .23 On Tuesday, April 26, a thrift campaign was started in all the departments of the Haver- straw public school. Ten cashiers, chosen from the Business Departemnt, went into the classes from the kindergarten to the high school to collect the savings of the pupils. These they turned over to the head cashier, Anne Easton, who took the proceeds to the Building and Loan Association. We are sure that this Hschool bank will be most successful if it continues as it has started, The Commercial Department feels its responsibility and will do all it can to make the cam- paign what it ought 'to be. laik

F.. HIGH TOR The General Organization With the opening of the 1926-27 school year, a new organization came to Haverstraw High School. That was the General Organization, a body which is made up oi all the high school students and which is established to further the students' social and physical activities. The G. O. owes its beginning to Superintendent john T. Kaemmerlen and to Miss Beatrice Purdy, who came to Haverstraw High School from Camden, New jersey. The General Organization is made up of the student body and the Student Council. The Student Council consists of the president, the vice-president, the secretary and the treasurer of the student body. In addition to these officers, there are the presidents and the represent- atives of the high school and commercial classes and the captains of the basketball and base- ball teams. The Student Council is divided into three standing committees, the school pro- perty committee, the publicity committee and the social committee. The school property committee looks after the condition of the school rooms and of the grounds outside. It also looks after the proper' keeping of school property. The publicity committee attends to the publishing and printing of necessary cards and notices. The social committee plans all social events like dances and school parties. if 59 ln early October the student body met for the purpose of nominating candidates 'for president, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary. Charles Keesler and William Tierney were nominated for presidentgAmo Gagan and jacob Langschur for vice-president, Qoris Furman and Frank de Noyelles, Ir. for treasurer, Winifred Davies and Margery Vasasour' for secretary. Charles Keesler,Amo Gagan, Frank de Noyelles, jr., and Winifred Davies were elected for their respective offices. A constitution was submitted to the Student Council in the early part of November. After being reworded in several places, it was submitted to the student body and accepted. The General Organization has been very successful in its operations during the 1926-27 school year. The students have enjoyed the social gatherings arranged by the social committee. The pep meetings have aroused a new kind of spirit among the students, which has en- couraged the teams to fight hard. School class rooms are kept in better condition. The High School, in general, has awakened to new life. alas?
