“God blesses still the generous thought. And still the fitting word He speeds. And Truth, at His requiring Taught, He quickens into deeds.” Whittier BUSINESS CLUB The Business Club is comprised of a group of students who are enrolled in the business course. Its primary purpose is to meet regularly in order to discuss the various opportunities the business world affords to the student upon graduation. Al- so, from time to time, speakers from well-known busi nesses are invited to meet with the club, and to tell about the advantages their particular con- cern offers. Representatives from the various busi- ness colleges are also invited, and those students who plan to further their education find this most interesting. During the year, field trips are taken to such places as John Hancock Insurance Company, New England Tel. Tel. Company, and other large concerns. A tour of the places visited and a de- tailed account of the activity in each department is explained by a most capable guide. Each year the club has some fund raising proj- ect; the proceeds from which are put towards a scholarship for any student who intends to enter a business college.
