M rs. Wagner, Sponsor As the Junior organization of the Commercial Club at M. V. we are very proud of our accomplishments during the past year. The purpose of our Club is to acquaint students with modern business methods and procedures; to give an insight into the duties of a secretary; to interest th em in achieving better and higher positions— not merely being satisfied with a stenographic position, but to strive to become an A-l secre- tary. During the past year we had several interesting speak- ers who discussed many phases of secretarial work; a number of good films depicting different aspects of secretarial duties; and business machine demonstra- tions. We published a club newspaper, to teach students how to use the mimeograph, mimeo- scope, stylii, etc. A field trip climaxed our years activities.

Senior Commercial Club Mrs. Florence Provance. The chief purpose of the Senior Commercial Club is to give students who are majoring in the com- mercial curriculum a more specific knowledge of the various opportunities in the field of business, and to further instruct the student in other phases of busi- ness which are not conducted in a regular classroom. At various meetings throughout the year, guest speakers from employment agencies, business organi- zations, and government offices were invited to visit our club. We took one field trip at which time we visited various business organizations. We also had a Beauty Contest and Fashion Show.
