COMMERCIAL XII — ROOM 16 Wanted—Twelve Employers! Anyone requiring the services of an expert private secretary should apply to Room 16. After a long winter of intensive study, ten charming ladies and two studious gentlemen are ready to accept positions. They are fully equipped to write perfect English (Mr. Katz’s successful efforts) to sing lyrical¬ ly (Miss McCrum’s hopes fulfilled); to take dictation at break-neck speed and transcribe accurately(?) (Miss McBeth’s ambition realized); to furnish up-to- date information about “Bills of Lading” and the “Shannon File” (Miss Hazel¬ wood’s efforts rewarded); to differenti¬ ate between “Debit” and “Credit” (after having it drilled into them by Miss Babb); and last but not least to do credit to our principal, Mr. Floyd, who has tried very hard to keep us on that “straight road to success.” Come, my readers, and enter with me the hinged portals of this enticing room and I will endeavor to portray these students in their true light: First, I wish to present to you our class teacher, Miss McBelh, tall, poised and genial endowed with a most win¬ ning personality and contagious smile, (this smile has won true admirers of both staff and pupils of the Isaac New¬ ton School). We are proud indeed, to have her as our class teacher, so hats off to Miss McBeth. Lovely, blue-eyed brunette, Dorothy Sikorsky makes an efficient president of our room. Her hobbies are wearing sweaters, and listening to Tommy Dor¬ sey’s recordings. Dot’s life-long ambi¬ tion is to become a secretary and marry the boss’s son. We know she will be successful, at least in the latter, as the son is patiently waiting for her to finish school. Pretty, fair-haired Florence Ost, who is the vice-president of our class, is al¬ ways full of wise-cracks, jokes and laughter. Her pet hobby is collecting pictures of boys, and gifts from these same males. She is rather fickle but her heart belongs to a blond-haired lad
