ANN KREUTZER TYPING DEPARTMENT h I One of the striking developments in the Commercial work has been that of the Typewriting Department. As shown else- where a large percentage of the students in both day and nigh-t classes have won silver and bronze medals as well as certificates for speed and accuracy. It is a tribute to this department that the Saskatchewan High School Championship is held by the Regina Collegiate Instituteg and it would appear that this record will take a lot of beating. Typewriting has been stimulated by the donation of two large silver cups, one known as the Underwood Cup presented by the United Typewriter Company, and the other known as the Demaray Cup presented by the local manager of the company. The first is open for graduates of the Collegiate and the other one is open to students in attendance. WINNERS OF SILVER CUPS IN TYPEWRITIN G The following students hold the Championship cups for the year 1923-24: Demarary Cup: Ann Kreutzer, Form 2 E5 speed 85.

SUCCESS If you Want a thing bad enough To go out and iight for it, Work day and night for it, Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it, If only desire of it Makes you quite mad enough Never to tire of it, Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for itg If life seems all empty and useless without it, And all that you scheme and you dream is about it, If gladly you'll sweat for it, Fret for it, Plan for it, 71
