sl OUR 'ILLUMINATI 'XVe've all in childhood days sxveated nobly over that versilied platitude which announces: Lives of great men all remind us VV'e can make our lives sublimeg And departing leave behind us Footsteps on the sands of time. True enough, we are bound to admit. Still the accent sounds a trifle rusty and sepulchral, like the voice of Hamlet's father in the cellarage. The trouble with us is that we're infected by the Missourian bacillus. We refuse to worship our great men as if they were godlike heroes. 'We have learned that the Father of Our Country never despoiled the cherry orchard, we suspect that even Santa C1aus's beard will not withstand too vigorous a pull. Perhaps we go too far in this nonchalant attitude towards our heroes. In the High School of Commerce, surely, we have never been over-senti- mental or blatant in the worship of our local magniiicoes. Nor shall we now, let us hope, commit that sin against good taste and decency. Nevertheless, though as schools go we are still very young, we have our outstanding hgures. VVe are not yet twenty years old, yet we have sent out into the world scores of men who have made their mark in many fields of endeavor. W'e think you will be interested to learn about some of these men. So from time to time we shall publish in the alumni column brief accounts of Commerce graduates who are working at interesting jobs. YVe shall not indulge in eulogy, for these men are still very much alive and forging ahead. XVe shall confine ourselves to the bare facts expressed as concise- ly as possible. In the facts alone, however, if you read alertly, you will hnd much to make you proud to call yourself a member of the same body of alumni that includes such significant personalities. And perhaps Cwho knows?j you may End a suggestion or two that will help you in the great struggle to succeed. COMMERCE LIFE Late in the month of October, last year, a meeting of the Student As- sociation took place. This meeting was called to discuss the publication of a book which would show the life of the Commerce student throughout the school, and to show it pictorially. The idea was submitted by Mr. Downey and it was immediately met with approval by the Council. T Z
