The teams were coached by Miss Dorothy Martin of Bates College. Leland Farr was judged as best speaker of the evening at the debate held here in the Auditorium. SCHOOL FAIR A large parade, in which each class was represented by a gaily decorated car, started the second annual school fair, October l lth. It was a larger event than last year. Each class and club had charge of a booth. A track meet with Jay and Lisbon was held in which our own team emerged victorious. The girls' Volley Ball team won a double-header, one game with the Ox- ford team and two with the West Paris team. A social was held in the evening while refreshments were still on sale at the booths. COMMERCIAL CLUB The first meeting of the Mechanic Falls High School Commercial Club was held Wednesday, October 9th, in the Auditorium. The following officers for the year were elected: President, S. PILOT Myrtle Berry: Secretary, Leland E. Farr: Treasurer, Helen L. Rowe. Miss Hyatt announced that the proj- ect to be carried out for the year, instead of being individual scrapbooks as pre- viously, would be a club paper. The editorial staff were elected as follows: Editor-in-Chief, William Martin: As- sistant Editor, Evalyn Knight. Evalyn Knight withdrew from the club and Mildred Perry was elected to fill the vacancy. At the close of the second meeting a short initiative program was presented by the Juniors, followed by refresh- ments. The Commercial Club lost one of its members when Philip Merrill moved to Damariscotta. It was decided that we should ask the other clubs to contribute news from their clubs, if they so wished. Myrtle Berry was appointed to confer with the various club officers in regard to this matter. The Commercial Club paper, The Mercury, was published the -week of December 20th. The copies went like hot cakes! At the meeting in January a spelling contest of business terms was held. Hilja Hiltunen was the winner of the contest. The preliminaries for the Typing Contest were held at the March meet- ing. Plans are being made for another issue of the club paper to which each member will contribute. Instructions in filing will be given at the next meeting. Each individual member of the club will have a project to carry out on the Ditto Machine. The project will con- sist of an illustrated sales letter.
