Inter Hoc anno Inter Nos Societas tardius constituta est, sed aliquos bonos socios, octa puellas et unum puerum, compara- vimus. Totus numerus sociorum est septemdecem. Haec societas facta est ut lingua Latina cum voluptate superata esset. Commercial Club The ideal of the Commercial Club is to promote efficency in all business work and to aid students in securing positions in future years. The motto is, “Business before pleasure.” The commercial branch is the most popular department in the school. There are certain tests that students must pass before they receive their credits. The students taking their first year of typing must be able to type twenty-five words a minute, while those taking their second year are required to type forty words a minute. Although the amount of work done by this organization is small, as yet, it is steadily becoming an important club in W. H. S. One drawback this year has been the lack of regular officers. The membership is larger than ever before, since all students taking commercial courses are eligible for membership in the club.

Each member of the two literary societies was curling her hair or otherwise making herself beautiful for the occasion. Their boy friends were “dressed to kill” in new suits. The party started off with a bang. An Easter egg hunt began the evening, and Danny Scar-berry found almost all of the eggs. Games were played until enthusiasm waned. Then all joined in the grand march to the domestic science room, where they received refreshments. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Punch, serpentine, and confetti added to the festivities. Rodney Scott and Miss Riley took turns at the piano. The party was declared to be the best ever given by the clubs and everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. CARY HAS ENJOYABLE YEAR Colors: “Green and White” Motto: “Live and Learn” The purpose of the Cary Literary Society is to enliven and help direct an interest in good literature, to promote happiness, The Mishna Literary Club obtained its name from the Hebrew word meaning “learning.” Thus it may easily be seen that the object of the club is the promotion of a higher literary standing and an improvement in the literary tastes of the different members. Therefore, the motto, “Improve.” The first Mishna Club was organized in 1922 and, for the first three years, only members of the junior and senior clases were admitted, but later membership was extended to freshmen and sophomores as well. In 1928, the constitution was revised and made more suitable to present needs. The program of work for the year 1928-29 consisted of an interesting and successful study of American authors, both early and modern. Top Row—Thomas, Collins, Barbee, A.

Hi Times is Outlet for News Writing Ability The Hi-Time3 staff this year was chosen from the students who took journalism, a new course in the high school curriculum. Work on the school paper was made a great deal more attractive, since half a credit towards “Send It to Deckard’s!’’ A few cents will work wonders for you in the way of improving the appearance of your wardrobe. Your suits, coats, skirts and dresses can be made to look like new—and the cost is very reasonable. Just— “Send It to Deckard’s!” 5 fO I. Z. DECKARD Dry Cleaning, Pressing. Tailoring and Repairing WELLSTON, OHIO graduation was given for journalism, and half a credit for actual membership on the Hi-Times staff. A new plan cf publication was carried out by way of an experiment. Now, the paper is essentially one for the students. Half the writings of former papers were done by the faculty. The students themselves had only a small amount of work to do on the sheet and became rather lax and did not realize that a newspaper is no smaU job. They were only innocent onlookers. During the past term, however, a weekly page has been published in the Sentinel by the students. They wrote and edited their own articles, collected ads, and practiced head writing and proof-reading.

Although the staff was handicapped by lack of space, a very readable paper was issued. In addition to the weekly pa jo, a monthly sheet was published. A Valentine Edition, a Scandal Sheet and a Farewell Issue were the outlets of pcetry, stories, and choice scandal. The pupils have a chance to write with more freedom in this paper, since they are not so pressed for space. An analysis of the Hi-Times by a journalism clinic at Ohio University.
