Although the basketball season was one of our biggest disappointments, the prospects were not so bright at the start for a good team and a successful season. ' Sportsmanship was the outstanding char- acteristic at all the games, besides the excel- lent team work the girls had. The unique pass work was noticed by all who attended the games. To show our appreciation for the work which the girls did, silver basketballs will be awarded to Clara Johnson, who played, on the Vocational team for three years, and to Anna Duzynski and Achsah Potter who have played for two years. The letters will be awarded to Evelyn Van Leuvan, Esther Museo, Angelina Castaldi. 1 Honorable mention goes to Theresa Do- manowsky, Dorothy Houck, Anna Root, May Champlin, Vincentis Poderys. Without these girls our regular teamcould not have had any practice and when we got in a pinch it was they who helped us out. A great deal of credit is due these girls. 1, p p -lil Commercial Clulb ' , 1 The Commercial Students' Clubwwas or-J ganized January, 11932.

Uhr Hnirr wlllooin 30399 By jane Dill, ll-B English I The girls in Laurel Hall of the Sunnyview Boarding School were feeling very sorry for eighteen-year-old Jean Flinch. Next week on the 25th would be their Graduation Day and Jean looked so sad and lonely. While the other girls in room. 303 of Laurel Hall ad- dressed invitations for the graduation exer- cises and wrote enthusiastic letters home, Jean sat by the window crying. One dreary night she had told the girls about her tragic childhood days. .Jean's mother had died four years after Jean was born and her father had taken care of her to the best of his-ability, with occasional help from the neighbors. Then one day, when Jean was thirteen years old, Mr. Flinch disappeared and she had never heard any- thing from him since. Friends and detec- tives had looked everywhere for him, but in vain. After the excitement had died down, the neighbors had taken theliberty to send her to the Sunnyview Board-ing School near Chicago. o , This was a rare treat for Jean at firstg but as time went on and she grew older, she became lonesome for some parents like those of the other girls, who could be near her when she needed them. And here was her graduation+the time when she should be so happy. But how could' she-she had no family? On the day that Jean sat in the corner crying, the seniors were scheduled to take a boat ride to Pampose Island. The girls were going to pack a little lunch and they in- tended to stay on the island for supper. The most enthusiastic of the girls for this idea was Violet, one of Jean's roommates. That morning when they were writing let- ters to be sent home, she said to the girls quietly, I think this boat ride will be a good thing for Jean. It will keep her mind off her mother and father, and may add a little color to her cheeks. The rest of the girls quite agreed with her and they approached Jean cautiously. Are you ready to go now, Jean? We're ready. - ' e But Jean replied: 'Tm-ready, all right, but I don't want to go. I'd rather stay here and go to bed, I'm'not feeling so well. The girls coaxed her to come, but still she refused. Realizing it would be no use for them to coax Jean any longer, they said good-bye, and started out with lunchebaskets in hand. . I P , M As the hours went by, all that could be heard in room 303 was the tickrof 'the big grandfather clock in the corner. By the window Jean sat, embedded in her thoughts. Finally Jean decided shef could not stand the headache any longer and walked over to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. After taking what she thought was an aspirin, she slipped on a kimona over her' clothes and went 'to bed. 'H ' H Four hours passed and as the girls came back from their boat ride, they beheld' the Sunnyview Boarding School in flames. Its screaming occupants were emerging from the building. The noise of sirens was heard and down the street came the Fourth Hook and Ladder, followed by a chief. V p Miss. Winters, principalof the school, scanned the excited girls to see that no one was missing., She discovered that Jean was not among them. Quickly summoning a fire- man, she told him that one of her girls was missing and must be in the building. The fireman addressed was a good-looking, well-built man about thirty-five or forty years old. He was a newcomer to, Fire -Sta- tion Number 2 and had not had a chance as' yet to show his bravery, a quality which is not lacking in a good fireman. - A When he had applied for a job in the fire station a few weeks before, he had said to the chief, I was in an automobile accident several years ago and was hit on the head: ever since then I have been unable to re- member my name 'or where I lived. All I know is that I have a child somewhere. But you may call me Jones and I'll show you 2 5
