the building red, or organizing a strike, etc., we have taken part in the activities of the school. In athletics we can boast of our prowess, for, look you, several of our star basket-ball players are '11 men. We have an officer in the Athletic Association, who must also be given his due share of prominence. In musical talent we have been quite up to the mark-Contemplate the names of the Orchestra members-Juniors galore! We did our share of work for the Bazaar, and also derived our share of amusement from it. We all agreed that it was a great success. And Oh, Juniors! Do you remember our very first informal, the social birthday of our class? Do you remember the beautiful gold and green decorations? And did you see those dignified Seniors trip the light fantastic? It was certainly a memorable event. The organization of our class met with the approval and satisfaction of all concerned. We trust that the spirit of loyalty to our class, and the bonds of friendship, which, through our organization, have already become more perfected, will continue throughout the entire existence of our class. It is not irrelevant to state here and now, nor is it mere adulation of our class, that our launching forth in 1911 will accelerate that perfect time, when there shall be capable business men and women. For, with the good material we have, we hope to convince the business men of 1912. that our class, and ours alone, can satisfy their demands. CLARA PFISTER, 1911. Armstrong, Anna Margaret.

mins 'cum uf 1911 RACING the record back to prehistoric times, we End evidence of the Class '11, fFor bibliography you are referred to the annals of all Cleve- High Schools.j Two long years prior to the existence of history, and the origin of the High School of Commerce, the famous Junior Class existed, though not as a whole. The various members comprising our class, were gathered in groups in many parts of the city. Referring to the annals of Central High School we should find- Septem- ber 7, 1907,--Entered in this High School a fine class. All its members are bound to become farnousf' East High School annals :-Date as above, En- tered today a well-appearing class, whose broad brows proclaim them born geniuses. At the organization of this, our school, a mysterious current, perhaps telepathy, supposedly emanating from school headquarters, rushed to the very best members of the afore-mentioned classes, and gently suggested that they were essential to the welfare of the High School of Commerce. In the annals of our school, our descendants will find the year one C11 remarkable for the obedience of the Juniors to this gentle command, in-as-much as that self-same obedience brought together a company of eighty boys and girls who form the present 1911 class. Of other parts of our class, we find perhaps even more extravagant praise in the records of West, Glenville, Shaw, South, Lincoln and other High Schools over the State of Ohio. The 1907 annals of Lincoln High are referred to as one of the fairest records. These read somewhat as fol- lows :- The entering class beats any student body of this school known in the past. The class coming from such a number of schools, of course carries a great variety of knowledge. Indeed so much variety that our programs, if colored, might closely resemble a gathering of Gypsies, cele- brating some gala-day. Though, possibly, we left our schools with a feeling of reluctance, we surely have been consoled by the new friends whom we have found here. Nor does the compensation stop with this alone, but the feeling grows that we must introduce, and establish in our new school, the traditions and customs of all truly great institutions. Though our stay here will be transient, it will not be so short as that of the Seniors. We will be here long enough to catch and enlarge the spirit of loyalty, which every student feels for his school, Although in our, career we cannot record such great events as painting 65
