. Spurred on by a desire to establish a school in which boys could learn trades fitting them to make a living with their hands with little study and plenty of work, Julius C. Wilmerding was prompted to establish the Wilmerding School of Industrial Arts youthful business venture had failed, he determined to give to boys of future genera- tions an opportunity for acquiring useful occupations Although he had no boys of his own, he took a lively interest in boys. Whether walking on the street or driving along in his carriage, he would frequently stop to watch groups of boys at play, or to converse with them about their prospects and to give them good advice-or some- thing more substantial, if needed. The result of his interest in boys was the bequest in his will of S400 000 for the establishment of a trade school. Following his wishes to the letter, the trustees of the fund fitted out the Wilmerding School to instruct boys in all the useful trades of the day. Changes in courses offered have been made from time to time to meet new conditions but the fundamental pur- pose of the school remains the same. 900 U ru n na C UH ro D' ru H fo n L FT ' D- ' FO .T ro Er' 2.

Pep rallies, afternoon dances, and baseball games have helped us to put to greater use the privileges allowed the student body. The Lux Newcomers' Rally introduced and wel- comed the new students to the various clubs. That event, followed closely by the Newcomers' Tea and joint rally and dance, started the social functions of the term. Since then, rallies and dances have been held to entertain the students and to inspire both players and rooters to give their best support to the athletics of our schools. These rallies re- sulted in attracting more spectators to our baseball games. The Board of Control provides a medium through which the students may voice their opinions. Through the representatives on the Board, the classes are successfully represented and linked to form our student body. The Student Court is designed to insure proper obedience to the rules and regulations of our school. We are proud to say that we have not had any cases during the spring term. The Board of Control wishes to thank Miss Sylva, our sponsor, for her understanding and patience, and Miss Trevithick for her splendid guidance. We also wish to acknowledge the help of teachers, students, clubs, committees and individual depart- ments, who in showing such a fine friendly spirit, have made this term successful and eventful. We have been proud to represent them. NANCY JUDsoN MARY BERNASCONI
