'ff ' tl ' H A - , stef! ,i sixty-eight. yi ' li -v 'tu Many of New York's greatest ' ' manufacturing plants were visited, and the Club has reason to be proud of the uniform kindness and courtesy with which they have been treated. The private laboratories of the American Museum of Natural His- tory and the Aquarium were visited early in the autumn, then followed the Schultz Bottling VVorks, where the proprietor personally conducted the Club, explaining all steps and finally gladdening their hearts with all the 'fsoda they could imbibe. Upon their visit to the Franco-American Food Company the Club were conducted by comely young ladies and the trip ended with a delicious luncheon followed by a free trolley ride. The National Corn Products Company, Edgewater, N. J., next claimed attention. The superintendent explained the process of the manu- facture of starch, glucose, oil, and artificial rubber, closing the expedition with a feast of fudge and caramels, made of the excellent product of the company. A delegation, thirty-two strong, visited the Havemeyer Sugar Re- finery in Long Island City, where that most valuable product is prepared, incidentally consuming about thirty pounds of sugar. The candy factory of Park Sz Tilford next claimed the attention of the Club, and one Satur- day forenoon was spent at their plant, where sweets and pretty girls were seen and studied simultaneously. At the binderies of the American Book Company a book was seen in making from start to finish. Some of the boys were pleased to behold books by Messrs. Rogers, Van Tuyl, Payne, Eddy, and other Commerce teachers in the stock-room. The following places yet to be visited are the Drake Cake Company, Astoria Marble VVorks, Knox Hat Company, Greaves Wall Paper Com- pany, and the Barren Island Disposal VVorks. The Club has certainly proved very beneficial to the members, who have learned much about things of which previously they had only hazy ideas. GFFICERS Sept. to Feb.

Pj intend usingl stenography as a step- Uf ia 63. ping stone in their later life, the '-9' nc? - Shorthand Club was organized. Meetings are held every Thursday in Room 202, where the nine members from the seventh and eighth terms dictated in their turn both business and literary matter, chiefiy from the Congressional Records. Mr. Healey, the Faculty Adviser, also dictated a good deal of reporting matter to the boys, and showed them many short cuts in the writing of stenography in order to develop more speed. A trip was made to the State Supreme Court, where the members listened to the proceedings and watched the reporters taking notes. Mr. Healey has planned to have many stenographers visit the Club and also to take the boys down to the place where the court stenographers, after the day's proceedings, transcribe their notes. Thanks are due Mr. Healey for his conscientious work to make the Club a success. OFFICERS Feb. Io fum' Innes AIOONAN, '11 ..... ....... . .......... P resident E. IAPHE, 'II ......... .....
