VVe must organize an entirely new team this term, and from entirely new material. If you play chess we need you. Watch for the announcement of meetings on the daily sheet. It is up to you chess players to give your team just as much support as any other school team receives. W. J. Baker, Captain. COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY Top-Nagleschmidt, Watson.

One of the active clubs which has arisen out of the interest in one of the studies in Richmond Hill High School is the Com- merce and lndustry Club, which has grown up through the cooperation of the members of the commercial geography class in the Main Building. This club is under the leadership of Miss Hubbard, and is meeting this term on Friday afternoons. There are talks at the meetings on various businesses, with now and then a debate on a live prob- lem, such as the Great Lakes to the Sea project. g YVith this term there has come a new idea in furthering the purposes of the club. This is the Commerce Reporter, a modest newspaper distributed by the members of the club to the various classes. It aims to do three things: to collect definite news of the industrial world, to keep in close touch with the alumni, and to acquaint the stu- dent body with the facts of interest along these lines. It is very interesting, not only to the members of the club, but also to those who are not in the club. The club is starting on an active year. lt plans for three issues of the paper, for a trip on November 23d to the American Sugar Refining Company, for an evening meeting 'at the Brooklyn Institute to see Alaskan pictures, and possibly for a trip to one of the large steamers when in port. The officers for this term are: President, Theodore YVolffg vice-president, Amelia Jaeger, secretary, Edwin Deasyg treas- urer, Albert Shpetner. Clzrzrlfs S. Strong.

As the latter, Nikoli by name, sang, he sipped pensively from a stein and plucked absently on the tuft of knotty seaweed that served him as a beard. Vladimir was growing terribly weary .... Near him, on the wall, hung a great club, with which his venerable ancestor lvan lvanovitch had hunted Nihilists. His long fingers closed idly and caressingly over it. Nikoli was still singing, and Vladimir was growing terribly weary .... Blaml Nikoli suddenly stopped sing- mg .... 13. P. v. Bookworm, looking at a cook-book: Uh la!
