TO DISTRICT CONFERENCE I One of the most anticipated and exciting items on the busy Student Council calender are the District and State conventions that are held every year. Waukegan Township has always been well represented at these con- ferences, in fact this past year Waukegans council was fortunate enough to have Pat BELOW: Awaiting transportation to the District Convention are: Patty Alex, Lawanna Connel. Elizabeth Gilbert, Bob Torn- quist. Bill Holmquist and Louis McCreight. 99 Alex elected as one of the state officers of the lllinois Association of Student Councils. Patty was elected at the State Convention in Peoria last year, and took over the quill and ink bottle for the State Student Body in April of 1939. The council feels it has even more to brag about in that it has another officer, Dean Dalton, at the meeting of the Northern District last fall he was elected treasurer of that body lor the school year l939-40. This years State Convention of the LA.- SC. was held at Carbondale, illinois-way down in the southern part of the state. Wau- kegan's representatives were Elizabeth Gil- bert, local president, Patty Alex, Betty Meek- ins, Nancy Doolittle, and Bob lohn. To Wind up a feverish year of Work and accomplishments, the Council had a last spree. lt was a picnic and was planned by the entertainment chairman, Lawana Connell.

ACTIVITIES ARE VARIED I The club started off its social season with a hike and Weiner roast to Hinkston Park, early in the fall, it proved just the thing for a get-acquainted meeting. One of the most novel initiations of any club was held in the Iunior Assembly by this group. Members watching this meeting practically rolled in the aisles. ln mid-winter, the Snowflake Ball proved a very appropriate dance, furnishing enter- tainment and fun for all. The chief educational activity of the group was a trip to Chicago, where they visited the offices and plant of the gigantic mail order house of Sears Roebuck 51 Co., and also the I-lorder Stationery Company. Later the seventy student excursioners were present at station W.M.A.Q., during the club matinee program. Members who went on this trip returned with many souvenirs and articles given to them by the firms visited. Business men and experts in all lines of cleri- cal and commercial work came to demon- strate their skill before the club, and give them tips to help them later in life. Although mid-year graduation depleted the ranks of the Commercial Club, the stu- dents began their drive the very first week of the new semester to build up their organ- ization. They elected Mary Lou Berg as president, Anne Galinis as vice-president, Mildred Zabukovec as secretary, and en- trusted Iohn l-leikenfeld with the duties of the treasurer. The club took up a new phase of enter- tainment the second semester of the school year and sponsored movies, not only for the members of the club, but for the whole stu- dent body. These movies starred many act- ors including Bing Crosby and Mickey Rooney. The showings were held every week in the lunior Assembly at a very reas- onable admission price. The profits made from the movies were used to purchase film strips applicable for commercial classroom use next year. COMMERCIAL CLUB ROW 1, left to right: Dorothy Martin.
