Commercial Law III, IV N the fall of 1921, a group of yuum: men and women assembled at St. Xavier for the purpose of obtaining- a better knowledge of the structure of the laws of their state and country as they pertain to commerce and economics. The freshman year was :1 very intei-estiimr one. The first subject covered being- the Law of Contracts which was very ably taught by Mr. E. Cunway and which is an essential foundation for the study of all law The second semester found the Class under the guidance of Mr. Jus. O'Meura who unravelled the mysteries pertaining to the organization, rights, responsibil- ities and advantages of corporations. The interest manifested during the freshman year has been ever present dur- ing the sophomore, junior and senior yearst This is due in a great measure to the fine work of Mr. T. Geisler. The interest he has shown in each and every stu- dent, his broad knowledge of economics in general and the ability to teach, plus a line of original wit and an excellent sense of humor, have made the Friday evenings duringv the past three years very pleasant as well as educational. The ' subject covered by Mr. GUiSlel' are Sales of Pei-sunal Property, Bailments and Carrier, Insurance, Agency, Negotiable, Instruments, Partnership and Bankrupt- cy. We alsu wish to extend our appreciation to Mr. XV. Ryan, who by his untiring efforts and natural ability to teach, made the evening's during his: course on Real Property very interesting . It is with a mingled fueling of emotion that we look forward to the close of this our last year at St. Xavier. We sincerely hope that the knowledge and the high ideals imparted to us during the past four years will enable us to become a crexiit to our Alma Mater and a success in the Commercial world.

Accounting IV OME Clever paragrapher has seen the usay-it-wittvflowers , Hsay-it-with- candy , and say-itm'ithmeni'ly-anything-hannly and calls thing's tn :1 halt with the suggestion that we 3m back to saying: it with words . But we want to add that if you want to say anything: about the history of Accounting: IV, the words to use are AMBITION, PERSEVERANCE, ENTHUSIASM and ACTION. With the realization that undeveloped talent, like uncultivated fields, yields nothing, we started four years 21:10 to cultivate those idle acres of our ability Thus, we use the word AMBITION. We began with faith plus the courage, hope and belief in the things we undertook to do. During Freshman year we learned the only way to win, is to commence to win from the start and then tn keep vvei'lastingly at it. It is true this is hard to do at times, but the man who duos nut meet obstacles. is the man who stands still. Is this not PERSEVERANCE? It was just this sincerity of purpose, this will power and determinatinn which asserted itself by keeping our number practically intact fur the Sopho- more year. We reached the noontide of our college career eager to take a new grip on our educational efforts and hold tightly through the Junior and Senior years. This confidence in action represented nothing other than our ENTHU- SIASM. When the last word is said, however, no matter how ambitious, persevering and enthusiastic a class may be, these qualifications are of no avail, if they are not. backed by ACTIONilnts 0f ACTION; the kind of action that stamps a Class as a leader. In this, we believe, we have alccnmplished our purpose. The activi- ties of the Senior class have embraced the intellectual as well as the social phase of school life. We have contributed at all times to the progress of the student organization, the co-operators, and we are happy to say that our efforts have re- sulted in the attainment of unsurpassed success. Truly our class has been a whirlwind in ACTION. We hope now to be conquerors in new fields. We have observed the little margins on which conquerors win. They are usually but a shade better than those the losers put forth. The failures do not have the little reserve to supply the small margin necessary to win. Today thousands are in a neck and neck race to the City of Success. Thanks to the untii'ing eEtarts 0f the faculty, we have succeeded in building up this reserve. The emergency may come tomorrow, but we are ready to win with that little, but mighty important margin. Page St-vany-ninn
