HE past year has witnessed a growth of the societies in the High School of Commerce which surpasses anything hereto- ' fore in our history. Besides the revival of an old societyand - -, the increase in size of all others, two new organizations have sprung up, one in the literary field, the Public Speaking Club, and the other, the Aero Club, the purpose of which is to promote the art of aerocraft amongst the students of the High School of Commerce. The large roll of all the societies disproves the assertion that a social spirit is lacking in the school. The Gun Club, an old organization, has been reorganized, and because of the great number of students endeavoring to gain admittance into the same, the membership had to be limited and com- petitions held for prospective members, only the successful candidates being admitted to the Club. Another point worthy of notice is the con- solation of the Hamiltonian and the Webster-Emerson Literary Societies into a strong centralized body, maintaining the name of the Hamiltonian. Besides the above-named literary organizations is the Dramatic Society, which has accomplished considerable during the past season. Along the commercial lines the Shorthand and Commercial Clubs resumed their duties, while the Camera and Natural Science Clubs continued in their art and scientific researches. The Orchestra represented the school in the musical field, performing the function very well, while the Athletic Association, the Strollers, the Tennis Club and the Chess-and-Checkers Club complete the list of active organizations in the school. ,VNK.1fNf5sJfN , .

Throughout the entire year there were about twenty active members who enhanced the former reputation of both literary societies by furnishing interesting programs with instructive talks and debates. Among other subjects they debated the following: Rcxvolved: That the Honor System be adopted in the High School of Com- n1erce. Res0l'z1Ud.' That the Freedom of the Press be limited. Q These and other debates furnished the members many pleasant after- noons. The Faculty displayed an interest by giving lectures on different topics, among them being an illustrated talk on Maine, by Mr. A. H. Lewisg 'iCollege- Life and Associations, by Mr. Nvhartong Postage Stamps, by Mr. Healeyg The Beauties of 1Xf'lathematics, by Mr. Schlauchg Myths of Nature, by Mr. Hallg and Preparing for Citizen- ship, by Mr. E. D. Lewis. A large attendance at all of these talks fully showed that the members of the Club appreciated the endeavors of the teachers. The Club later arranged a series of Prize Speaking Contests and Talks by the Faculty. They consisted each time of talks on any one of three subjects selected by the Club, and naturally these topics were concerned with current events. Sept. to Feb. H. CHATFIELD, ,I2 M. LUBARSKY, '11 H.
