THE JOURNALISIVI CLASS HE Journalism class is one of the new features of the school this year. In former 01 ,A times, the Commerce staff, composed of an editor, associate editors, and reporters, Hg edited the paper. During the summer of I9 I 8, a change in the manner of editing Commerce was necessary. Several of the editors found it impossible to devote so much time to Commerce after school hours. If our paper was to be successfuI, a reorgan- ization was necessary. The present Journalism Il class, the first JournaIism class of the High School of Com- merce, is composed of members who were recommended because of their Iiterary abiIity by the faculty. The members of the class entered their work with such a spirit that Com- merce was running smoothly the first week of the quarter. Members of the Journalism I cIass were chosen in a different way. Each one se- Iected journalism as an elective, and had to be recommended by his teachers. Those who are in this cIass devote their time to Iearning the principles of ,IournaIism, and their train- ing wiII enable them to edit Commerce by the end of this quarter, when the JournaIism II cIass Ieaves. ' 1 Commerce Winter Quarterly 'Eff Gtahnatrz CLASS HISTORY jg of the High School of Commerce Many of thes started with a two year course and are out ln the business world rising toward the goal they had set for them- selves. Of the original group, Wilbur Cramer, Meyer Colnic, David Potashnick, Edwin Munson, Leona Eipperle and Vernon Williamson are the survivors and are now in OUR years ago on a September morning, a group of Freshmen entered the doors v . 3 . the present Senior class. ln the meantime, as we were pondering over our studies, athletics, and social affairs, the outside world was keeping a keen watch on our actions and our advancements. Our school became very attractive to the people of Omaha and especially so to Helen Bartos, Helen Noon, and David Greenberg, who left Central High School and came to acquire a good business education at the High School of Commerce. ' Not only did our school attract the attention of the people of Omaha but our fame spread to the city of Gretna, Nebraska, and one of our best students, Anna Gloyer, came to Omaha to spend the last two years of her high school life with us. Another member of our class, our President, Ernest Horacek, first went to Brainard High School, then to Fremont College, but finally discovered that this school was the best and came here to finish his course. As we traveled along toward our Senior year, Sam Green and Douglas Dunn came to join us in the ranks and have been since then studious workers for the welfare of the school's activities. During the summer term when we were in l2-A, many social times were enjoyed. It was at that time that Edwin Munson took part in the Declamatory Contest in Fremont. The class accompanied him on this trip. Many picnics and parties were also given and we had all around good times. n A When our class was organized for the last term, Ernest Horacek was elected Pres- ident: Helen Noon, Vice President: Wilbur Cramer, Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss McDonald, Class Sponsor. The red rose was chosen as the class flower, and..Delft Blue and Gold, as the colors. 'Eff Commerce Winter Quarterly JEANNETTE M'DONALD Head of Department of English Class Sponsor.

However, it was not to be. As the person approached me he uttered a glad cry, and, hastening forward, grasped my hand and called me by name. It was Edwin Munson, my old chum and class-mate. He invited me to his home for dinner and I had the pleasure of meeting his wife and two children, Rollo, aged eight and Sophia, aged ten. After dinner we retired to the library to talk and our conversation turned to our old classmates. Well, Edwin, I said, whatever became of your old pal, Raymond Simmons? Ray is a professional golfer, replied Edwin. He is in line for the National Cham- pionship. I saw a write-up about him in the Chicago Tribune just yesterday. I see that Sam Green is also in the athletic world. He is now defending his title of all around athlete. Well, that 's certainly fine. By the way, I had an amusing experience the other day. I was called upon to give a speech on the subject of Capital and Labor before a gathering of ardent Socialists. In order to gain all possible information on the subject, I desired to consult a lawyer. I was referred to one who is considered among the best in Omaha and found him to be our old friend, David Greenberg. He could do very little for me and so referred me to Mr. Vernon Williamson, who is an expert adjuster of difficulties between Capital and Labor. Well, that's fine. I am glad to hear of the success that all these fellows are having. I had a little surprise the other day myself. I was called to Omaha to perform a marriage ceremony for two of our old friends. Madame Candelebra, the famous dancer, who in private life has been Miss Helen Noon, was married to the artist, Monsieur jargonne de Cavelle, who is better known to us as Ernest Horacek. I understand by the papers that Meyer Colnic has put a new dictionary, the Colnic Dictionary of Definitions, and Mr. David Potashnick, financier, is backing him in the market. Did you hear of Wilbur Cramer's great success? I asked. No, I hadn't heard of it. What is it that he has done? He has perfected a new wireless outht whereby it is not necessary to use a keyboard in its operation. It seems that all that is necessary is to think of the message that you wish to send and it will be transmitted automatically. That is a wonderful invention, but I am not surprised as Wilbur is certainly cap- able of such a thing. And then there are Anna Gloyer and Leona Eipperle, who have both reached high positions. Anna is a federal food administrator, and is also the president of the National Pure Food Association. On the other hand, Leona is chief adviser to the president of the League of Nations. Helen Bartos and Douglas Dunn have gone into the beauty business and operate a beauty parlour in Omaha. Our class has certainly done fine, don't you think? They have made a name for themselves in the world and will forever be a credit to Comercef' And I agreed with Edwin entirely. i . . . , ' While'I was walking down the rnain streetlon the first day of my stay there, my Commerce Winter Quarterly Tl-Tiigggn THREE YEAR GRADUATES 'T vi ELL, if our jolly class of I9I9 isn't together once more, and guess where-in the 3 I , drawing room of Gertrude Cooper's chateau in sunny ltaly. She is now Countess r ir lf 1 Noaccount, and is to be our hostess this evening. Our first guests. are Jerry Tesar and Gertrude Levin. Well, I'll be-lf' exclaims Jerry Tesar, whose aeroplanes are used by Uncle Sam for a mail route across the Sahara Desert, if here isn't the other Gertrude. Sure 'nough, replies Gertrude Levin, whose Journalism experience at Commerce High has made her an expert reporter for the society page in the Daily News. By this time. most of the other guests have arrived, and our hostess, Gertrude Cooper, is busily giving instructions to her French butler. and helping Madamoiselle Ger- trude fdel Castleman with her wraps. Madamoiselle fdel Castleman is an opera singer, and has just arrived from Switzerland. You distintegrated abominable creature, take my portmanteauf' is heard, and Miss Helen Lind-Quest, a high salaried comedian, who has entertained thousands with her strings of vocabulary, enters. Anna Greenberg, although married and busy, and quiet Anna Kaiman, also married. and an heiress to a couple of million, are two active workers in the Humane Society, and founders of a hospital for cats and dogs. Madamoiselle Seidenspinner has just been announced, and if our young ladies arenit admiring Teresa's coiffure. But let me whisper an explanation. Teresa is a hair dresser in Paris, and she has laid away a neat fortune by massaging me ladies' faces, and combing their fair tresses. The silence of the night is broken by a Toot, Toot, and Anna Mollneris landaulet stops at the door. Anna's hobby was scrap books. She is now the head of Chicago's Museum where she pastes to her heart's content, and keeps a record of Jerry's flights, Helen's stunts, and john Nowak's standing in Wall Street. Guess whom the butler has announced now-none other than Miss Clara Schreib- man, who exhibited her genius in impersonation at our U. G.'s tableau, and who is now doing work along that line for the Old People's Home, The Child Saving lnstitute, and the other charitable organizations with the help of Miss Vanyta Korff, who sings songs similar to Bandy Legs. Mildred Schmidt has also arrived. She is the best paid designer of gowns in the U. S. A. If you could look across Washingtoon Avenue, where Miss Schmidt's Parisian Shop is located, you would see a large millinery store, where hats of every shape, size, and color are designed and sold by the Misses Martha Robb, and Elsie Schagun. Martha Robb and Elsie always were together, so we were not very surprised to see them come to our reunion in Martha's Super Six. Can you imagine whom the wind blew in? None other than our favorite, Miss Elsie Lage, who belonged to Miss Anderson's special Sing, but who is now with the Metro- politan Opera Company. It has been whispered that she is to take a leading part in the Grand Opera in September. The next announcement is lrene Hagen, who was first employed as a stenographer at the Union Paciflfl HCHCRTIUHYYCTSJ but the rumor of her rate in transcribing at 200 words a minute reached the ears of President John Nowak of the Co-operative Steel Company, and now she is working for his concern at an enormous salary. President Nowak brought this brilliant stenographer in his big green car. Our next guest is Bessie Friedman, who is now the manager of a large business house. She surely can make things fly. Woe be unto the one that is late. Bessie likes a good time, however, and she sees to it that the employees have a peach of a time every month. . Our last guest, Alice Leon, who was Commerce High's rubber dolly, is now writing and illustrating novels. It is rumored that she is learning to operate the Tesar l-A aero- plane. Well, she always did do something to stir things up. Dinner is served, and we all enjoy our hostess's eats, Misses fdej Castleman, Lage, and Korff give us a free concert, and the Misses Schreibman and Lind-Quest per- form some astonishing stunts. By this time it is quite early in the morning, and we all bid our host and hostess good night fit should' have been good morningl. p0'f,?i'S.,,, Commerce Winter Quarterly Top Row-li. Munson, Z.

It is planned at some future time to take up the study of dramatics and give plays representing the course of nursing. Parties have also been given and the members of this club find work and business combined with pleasure. siiriiin Commerce Winter Quarterly 'I'up Itow-A. Illuyer, li. lflippewle, E. S!'ll2lEIlllI. G.

For the past four years, the orchestra has enjoyed a steady and healthy growth. Never before have we had as many members in the orchestra: never before 'Qing' have we had so many experienced players: and never have we had such a com- plete orchestration. The orchestra is no longer a side issue at our assemblies. It is indispensable. The or- chestra has also furnished us with music during the lunch periods. The conditions under which the orchestra members have been laboring should not be forgotten. Three days a week they practice in a room, not by themselves, but with the Girls' Chorus. There is not only this competition to contend with, but also another--the poor acoustics. Some day we shall have a new building, and in it we hope will be music rooms for the glee clubs, orchestra, and band. Following are the members of the orchestra: FIRST VIOLIN: Clara Schneider, Concert Master, Esther Brown, Gladys Furness, Joseph Herman. SECOND VIOLIN: Dillard Crawford, Zola Ellis, Charlotte Funk, Anna Hearty, Les- ter Pestal, William Raduziner, Kenneth Smith, Anna Zelkovitch. VIOLIN CELLO: Gertrude Williams. FLUTE: Reginald Reese. CLARINET: Abe Kohn. FIRST CORNET: Eugene Cooper, john Svjeda. SECOND CORNET: Walter Munson. TROMBONE: Ross Groman, Mr. Alfred Tongue, Honorary Member. DRUMS: Theodore Dudley.

Aleen, a maid of Arthur's court and a victim of Merlin's enchantment, has been guarded for years and years by a Dragon, who was once a puppy. Graham, a twentieth century man, out for a tramp in the woods, comes unexpectedly to the garden wall, mounts it, and to his surprise finds the young lady, Aleen, peering into a silver mirror and combing her long black hair. After a lengthy conversation, Graham submits plans for Aleen's escape, but to no avail. These plans had been tried on previous occasions, and had failed. Then there is a terrihc roar, the roar of the Dragon, who comes out of the castle to do away with Graham. Graham tries very hard to get on intimate terms with the Dragon, but fails. The Dragon embraces Graham, thereby choking him. After Graham regains his consciousness, the thought comes to him to hypnotize the Dragon. When this has been done, Graham receives instructions from the Dragon, by means of which he is able to make the Dragon a puppy again. After all this is done, the enchantment is broken, and Galahad fthe Puppyj, Aleen, and Graham climb over the wall and go away from the gar- den forever.

Practice was begun X' 5 in the middle of December with five letter men as a basis on which to work. Two W weeks were spent in practice against the Fort Omaha teams, during which time our e ows gave evi ence o eing an em ryro c ampxons ip eam. fm' fll 'a fb' b 11 ' if t January 2 marked the opening date ofthe Commercial League, of which our team was a member. The Commercial League was composed of teams representing the var- ious business houses of Omaha. Commerce won eight out of ten games in this League and, as a result, walked off with the Championship of this organization. The Commerce team was awarded a beautiful silver shield for this work. Mahoney won distinction by carrying off more points to his credit than any other member of the League. James Slane was awarded a medal for being the cleanest player in the League, having only one foul marked against him during the season. Commerce again came to the front in the matter of lnter-scholastic games. She won four out of seven schedule games. Commerce was assigned to class A in the annual State Basketball Tournament at Lincoln. During the preliminary rounds, she astonished all basketball fans by eliminat- ing the following formidable opponents: Lincoln High School .... . . . l2-6 State Aggies . ........................... . l8-l University Place High ........................ l9-l 3 ln the finals Commerce lost her chance at the State Championship title by being cle- feated by the fast Shelton High School quintet by a score of 20-15. Two Commerce men, Frank Mahoney and Nathan fDukel Levinson, were placed on the All State team while Bernstein, Snygg and Slane made the All State second team. During the entire season Commerce took 632 points to her opponents' 545. Out of twenty-seven games played, Commerce won nineteen. The Basketball prospects for the next season are bright as all of the fellows who made the State teams will be back to put Commerce on the map. At the end of the fall quarter, the pupils who were chosen for the Honor Roll formed a club. The first meeting was in the nature of a banquet, given by Mr. Porter. At this meeting the constitution was read and adopted, and the following officers were elected: Twgigftwo Commerce Winter Quarterly Gfhv ilirgimrnt ll. M.

We started from the bottom to build our regiment. There were no experienced men except a few of the faculty who had some time or another received military training. The regiment was a new organization and like any other organization, it took time, patience, and skill to get it into proper shape. We had to start our drill with the old discarded riHes that were probably used in the Civil War. They were rusty, bent, and broken. .That so much has been accomplished is due to the fact that every officer and every man has entered into the work with the spirit of co-operation, good will, and earnestness.

The band also had an opportunity to show what it had accomplished during the quarter by giving a concert at the Auditorium, February 28, on the occasion of the school party. f 5' Y band which was formed last fall. The number of boys signed up for this work is The band's chief purpose, however, is to furnish music for the regiment on regimental drill days. As yet the band has had but few opportunities to play for the cadets, but now as the weather becomes more favorable, our regiment will soon be found stepping right up to the music. Mr. Wendland was leader of his college band for three years, and of the Second Regiment Band of the N. N. G. for four years. Besides this, Mr. Wendland has also been affiliated with other bands in Nebraska and Colorado.

The success of the regiment is largely due to the interest and enthusiasm of these young officers. They meet twice a week to talk over and plan those things that will be of benefit to the regiment. Mr. Scriven, our commandant, is doing his utmost to bring the regiment up to the highest possible standard. Now we are looking forward to the arrival of our new rifles and equipment! These will add to each individuals interest and are sure to create a spirit of enthusiasm. Thus, with every man working with zeal and earnestness we can soon hope to have a regiment that will be the pride of our school. Let us be patient and bide the day when our regiment shall shine forth in all its glory.
