Their hearts throbbed with the anticipation of the award they were about to receive, ln unison they spoke the Words of a pledgeg then upon their throbbing bosoms a medal was placed. This medal of gold was a scroll with a quill diagonally across it. lt was a token of their outstanding work in the late contest. lIThe contest was the striving of every stu- dent who was on either the fllltola' or the Mis- lqodeed stalf to become one of the best journal- ists of the group- 'lihe raised platform was the Mishawaka High school stage, and the spectators were the members of the junior and senior classes.

394 THF .IIISKO Dlflfll EXECUTIVES QF TO O you remember 'way back when-P No, of course you don't. No one in Mishawaka High school now does, unless he's a P. G. The Commercial club had its beginning in the Scribbler's club. This club included only advanced shorthand students. In I925 the club was enlarged so that it could include more com- mercial students and was renamed the Com- mercial clutb. The objective, which its mem- bers have set for it throughout the years of its existence, has been to acquire enough finances through the club's activities to send Mishawaka High school's best commercial students to the state commercial contest so that they could bring home the bacon. If The club entrusted its activities for the year to very capable oiticers. They were as follows: Ruth Teichman, presidentg Mary Kalicsak, vice- presidentg Ieanette VanHuH'el, secretary-trcas- urerg Anne Difiiori, Board ol' Controlg and Re- becca lireps, general program chairman. This year the club has been no less active than in other years. Its first social function was a Halloween party on October 27 which proved a success when everyone had the pleasure of exploring the ground within a few blocks of the school house hunting for the exciting thing called treasure. lf.-Xbout all this excitement there seemed to hang a veil of deep thought. Now, what could this possibly be? It was just this. The club MCDIQRCDW was preparing its annual production of the year. This year the custom was somewhat changed. Instead of having their f'Vodvil, which had been established in the past, a play called 'fApplesauce was presented. The cast included Robert Anderson, Bill McAIlisterg Muriel Iacob- son, Hazel Robinsong Charles MacDonald, Rollo Ienkinsg Lottie Mae Williams, Mrs. Rotbinsong and Harry Castleman, Mr. Robinson. Miss Moist was director and Margaret O'DelI was student prompter. The audience which viewed the performance pronounced it one of the best productions ever presented by the club. The club has been very fortunate this year in having several well-known speakers. One speaker well-liked by the students was Post- master Gaylor who spoke on the postal service and its branches. Another well-known speaker, Mr. Louis F. Buckley, professor of economics at Notre Dame university, spoke on Depres- sion and the Way Outf' Mr. Robison of the Equitable Life Insurance Company spoke on the sales and kinds of life insurance. VWhen April 15 rolled around, the whole commercial department was tense with excite- ment. The Hbig day', had come. This was the day for the State Mass contest. For that day and for several days following an undercut- rentu of excitement seemed to press everyone. How did Mishawaka place in comparison to the other schools? Every one said Mishawaka could do it and Mishawaka did.
