BUSINESS ENGLISH I The class of Business English was organized by Mr. Chas. Purdy in the year 1917. It grew to such an extent, that it became necessary to divide it into two classes. both of which were taught by Mr. Purdy on Monday and Friday evenings respectively. After two years of successful work. Mr. Purdy resigned his position .15 teacher of the Monday evening class, and continued to teach only the Friday evening class. In 1919x he was succeeded by Mr. James OhConnelL e The class consists of seventeen members, a jolly crowd of young men and women, 1ndustrious, and always strlvmg to obtain the higher things in life. The Election of Class Officers took place on the 30th of September, Mr. Finn. Mr. Britenbach and Mr. Frohmeyer Were nominated for Presidency, Mr. Finn winning by a very close margin. Miss Sandheger was nominated for the Secre- taryship and was unanimously elected. A Christmas Party was held on the 17th of December.

BUSINESS ENGLISH II Our class was to have been taught by Mr. Charles Purdy, but due to the amount of his work as secretary of the Night School he was unable to take over the course; so he placed us in the hands of Mr. Joseph Goodenough who has proved himself to be a very capable instructor, This course is intended to teach us to write and speak good business English, and it was for this purpose that we studied Punctuation, Paragraphing, Sentence Structure, Unity, Coherence, and Emphasis. We also had excellent practice in writing various kinds of business letters. This may sound dull, but such is not the case, for Mr. Goodenough knows how to teach his matter in a way which is interesting to everyone in the class. Speaking of a class, we have it! Whenever there is anything to be done at school, the members of this class can always be seen doing their hit. For example, Albert Eckes was elected Secretary of the Co-operators; and this is only one of the many things we can be proud of. We are sure that when the year is finished none of us will regret the one night each week spent in Mrt Goodenoughls English class. Page One Hundred Fiat

ACCOUNTING IV Our college career has been a pleasant one. Freshman year was probably the most exciting, due possibly to the expectation attendant on entering a new field and the gradual unraveling of some of the principal points upon which our business structure is based. The interest manifested by the students during the freshman year was augmented during the following year. The great majority of the fresh- man students returned with renewed energy and the addition of students who took up the race at that time made the class an interesting one. Our junior and senior years have been busy ones. We have worked and we have played. But the play has been in full consciousness of the work to be performed. We feel that they have been of real value to us and hope that we have exemplified that spirit so much desired by our Faculty and have been worthy examples to the undergraduates. We stand at the threshold of new Fields, but look back over the previous years with conflicting emotions. We wiil always cherish a pleasant recollection of the days spent at Alma Mater, and hope that the high ideals imparted to us while there will always serve as our guide in the future. Page 011?
