And the pilot evenly sets down the plane bringing back to Laramie High, the Busy Business Bodies, just in time for this dramatic production of the year. On every second Tuesday, the girls in the Com- mercial Club, hurried to the shorthand room, to take a flying trip into the business world. They learned that the three purposes of the club, which was started in October, 1938, are to advance commercial work, to promote loyalty to their school and to plan possible employment for the students. From these trips they heard reports on the Civil Service, discussions of freak letters and office calling demonstrations. Officers elected as assistants to their adviser, Miss Melton, were Fumiko Iwatsuki, president; Leola Hartman, vice president; Gloria Christensen, secre- tary; and June Moore, treasurer. All aboard! Next trip “Shorthand Efficiency.” This was gained by a sjielling match, an intelligence test and a brief form contest. While flying on the their merry way, the Busy- Business Bodies, one evening left behind a committee of Fumiko Iwatsuki, June Moore, Virginia Milton and Dorothy Larson, to build a Ferdinand float, which won honorable mention at the Pep Club Mardi Gras. Also, on one of their ventures, they stopped in Greeley, to leave three commercial contestants, I,ela Hahn, Leola Hartman and Mclva Nylander. As a finale to their year, the junior girls enter- tained the senior girls at a farewell trip and each guest partook of the dainty refreshments. And so their plane was grounded until next fall.
