COMMERCIAL CLUB President -------- Paul Mink Vice-President ---- Vivian Wetander Secretary 5 Treasurer- -Dorothy Ketchum Last fall, shortly after school started, the members of the Typing II Class with the assistance of their teacher, Miss Jamison, organized a new club known as the Commercial Club. The officers were elected from the seventeen charter members. The objective of this club is to promote interest in the business world and in the study of commercial subjects, to encourage a social spirit by offering opportunities for wholesome social contact, and to become familiar with the modern progressive business methods and systems, thus en- deavoring to raise and maintain a higher standard of training for business. They hold a meeting once a month and members of the club or speakers from other schools partici- pate in the program. On September 25, 1959, a very interesting meeting was held in the gymnasium. Several members presented a play which was very characteristic of the business world. An- other feature of this meeting was an invitation extended to all students who had taken or were taking two or more com- mercial subjects to join the club. As a result of this invitation and after due initiation they added thirteen new members, making a total of thirty. At the December meeting of the club, a brightly lighted Christmas tree proved to be the center of interest. After the business meeting everyone present received a gift. Another outstanding event on the Commercial Club calen- dar was the trip made to Burlington, Iowa. On this trip the members visited several business houses and watched the many different machines in operation. They also. visited the College of Commerce. A spelling bee was held at ,the February meeting with all present participating. Mr. Hodge pronounced the words and Miss Jamison acted as checker. Vivian Wetander was the champion and received a pin guard in honor of the event, Dorothy Ketchum was the second highest with the next three places as follows: Jack Lehman, Betty Zea, and David Hickok. They feel that this club has been quite helpful to them and they hope that in the future years the club will be just as successful to all members,
