was appointed to pick out the best ones. The ones chosen were done by Eddie Krock, Carlos Fernandez, Beatrice Krantmen, and Libbie Price.

THE A9 JUNIOR BUSINESS CLASS The A0 ,Tunior Business class has covered ground rapidly this term. They started the term in the position of entry clerk. The work done by the entry clerks was keeping a record of all the pur- chases made by the company employing them. VVhen the work of the entry clerk was mastered, we were promoted to the position of order clerk. Here we took care of all the orders received by the company. It was certainly a diffi- cult job to read the price lists. Any member of our class can tell you of more than one evening spent in studying the price list and filling out the forms, only to have her answers marked wrong because she had not read the price list correctly. Our next position was that of cashier at the city desk. We all like to handle money, so of course this was lots of fun. VVe had to keep records of all the cash received and the cash paid out. The payroll came next. This suggests Saturday, doesn't it? One has to work all week before he gets his payroll, and we had to work for more than a week and we didnit receive any. XV hen we were assistant general cashiers we had to deal to a large extent with banks. lVe had an exhibit on banking and got many interesting results. lVe learned all about promissory notes, drafts, bills of ex- change and trade acceptances. The next thing we did was, I think, the most interesting part of our termis work. VVe took a course in salesmanship. Each pupil took some product or manufactured goods and undertook to make an exhibit showing the different means and methods of sell- ing it. We each had to write a paper telling of the different steps it took to sell the product. Junior Business has been a most interesting study. It has been lots of fun and lots of work. Wfe could always depend on Miss McCarthy to see that our evenings were well filled. -Jennie Schuck.
