COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club is the oldest departmental club on the campus. It was originated in the 1920's and has a long and admirable record in school activities and functions. The club is open to any students majoring or minoring in any phase of business. Its purpose is to bring to students in this field into closer fellowship and to furnish further opportunities for intellectual development. This year the Commercial Club sponsored several projects to raise money for the club. In March, the Commercial Club was represented at Mus- kegon at the Michigan Business Education Association Convention by three seniors. The main project of the Commercial Club was the annual Senior Guest Day, which was held on March 30.
