.-' l -bl w ls- Qlnmmerrial Glluh The High School Commercial Club which was organized in 1924, met on September 29, 1925 for the purpose of electing officers for the second year of work. The people who were chosen to carry on this Work are: Jennie Elgland, presidentg Fern Hanson, vice presidentg Mansfield Liebelt, treasurerg Dorothy Leonhardt, secretaryg Victoria Sedivy, re- porter, and Carl Trulson, sergeant at arms. X This club meets twice a month. One meeting is devoted to business and educational problems and the other is given over to a program and social time afterwards. A local shorthand and typing contest is sponsored each year by this club. The shorthand trophy cup was con- tributed by the P. H. S. Alumni Association and the winners' names were engraved on it as follows: Carol Norum, Senior, and Jennie Elgland, Junior. The High School Commercial Club contributed the typing trophy cup. The win- ners of this contest were Gabrielle Harschutz, senior and Jennie Elgland, junior and their names were also engraved on the cup. These cups remain in the possession of the club and each year the names of the winners of the contests will be engraved upon the cup. The contest this year will be held some time in May. There are thirty-three members in the club this year and each one has taken an active part in the work. The club has appreciated the cooperation of the business men, who have given many helpful and inspiring talks. J fl NHT' :- 4 . if f- ll . HI I .J .!. Ill l W?

Behate Eight people entered the debate tryouts this yearg namely, Mansfield Liebelt, Harold Miner, Lucile Merritt, Carl Trulson, Louis Berg, Ruth Fansher, Kathryn Shives, and Leland Lucas, of whom the first six were picked for the team. The subject this year was, Resolved: that Congress should be given the power, by Federal Amendment to regulate the employment of all persons under eighteen years of age. The members of the affirmative and negative teams are: Affirmative Negative Lucile Meri-it Ruth Fansher Harold Miner Louis Berg Mansfield Liebelt Carl Trulson On February fifth, the affirmative went to Park Falls and the negative met Minocqua at home, both winning by a score of 2-1. The following Thursday, February eleventh, the affirmative defeated Glidden 2-1 at Phillips, and the next clay the negative went to Washburn, where they insured our entrance into the semi-finals by winning, also with a ,score of 3-0. These victories placed us among the ten highest teams in the state, and our next debates were scheduled with Cumberland and Amery. On Ma1'ch fourth ,the affirmative journeyed to Cumberland, where they went down by a score of 3-0. As Cumberland was thus the only school that had not lost at least one debate, and as neither Phillips nor Amery would be able to go on, the latter debate was called off. Cumberland's next victory gave her the state championship. Five of the team members will graduate this year, but from the numerous reports we hear, there will be a large number of candidates for the team, which will no doubt, more than overcome the-se difficulties. 46 Ip..
