The summer (lays and summer skies are with us here once more, The years that we have studied here at old West High are o’er. And now has come, with starry nights and June's long, sunny days The hour when we must separate—the Parting of the Ways. TI. Four years of l ooks and studying and daily toil are past; We stand upon the threshhold of a greater world at last. Each one of us is full of joy and happiness—and yet Our happiness is tinged with pain, our joy is half regret. in. For'with the books and lessons that wc leave behind to-night Arc all the other things that made our high school days so bright— Four years of loyal comradeship, of friends sincere and true Whose memories will linger fast, when all the years arc through. IV. Before us lies the future like a sunset, clouded sky, . No mountaTn-top too high to scale, no task too great to try, But whatever Fortune brings us dr wherever Fate may call The lessons we have learned from thee will guide and help us all.

In the first place it is hard, when you have once started, to tell just where to stop. Then a historian with any modesty docs not like to dwell too long on the glories of his particular class or to go into too lengthy a discussion of the reasons why and wherefore his class should be used as an example for all other classes following. I will try, as far as I know how, to be both modest and truthful. If one could have been standing in front of the school about the second week in September, in the year nineteen hundred and six, he would have seen many of the present Senior Class entering the school for the first time. We were then leaving a comparatively narrow sphere of life forever, to enter one much broader than any yet experienced, because in high school we learn more both of book lore and of the ways of the world and we come into contact with more people. Then, too, the teachers on thisr higher plane of knowledge give forth more of their per- sonality or their inward self than is possible in the grade schools. But, after all, high school is but a step in the ladder or, we might say, a term in the proportion of knowledge because high school is to grade school as college is to high school. I believe Mr. Fultz would call this a mean proportion. But I must stop this wan- dering and get down to business. As a class, nineteen hundred ten was never very successful as far as winning is concerned. 1 can honestly say, however, that every team that represented the present graduating class went into all contests to do the best they could to uphold the honor of the class and they always fought to the end. The first team that ever played under the name of nineteen hundred and ten was the Freshman football team. Our team played the Juniors and, though they greatly outweighed us, we held them down to two touchdowns; but I will not write too long about football lest I bring up fond memories of that grand old game which will never again be played in West High. However, the spirit which characterized the Freshman football team is the spirit which has dominated every team that has ever fought under the nineteen hundred and ten banner—the spirit of going into the game, not necessarily to win but to put forth the best that each fellow had in him. We never came out ahead in any contest until our Senior year in which mi far, we have won everything. There were no inter-class football games last fall but wc won the basketball championship, the track championship and I hope that, before this is published, wc will have won the baseball games. We have been very ably represented on the regular school teams. On the football team, the last of its kind which will ever represent the Orange and Black, we mention with the greatest pride the following who played on the champion- ship team last year: Art Markham, Jack Forsyth, Harry Thomas and Ed. Long. The basketball team will miss Captain “Tim” Mahaney and Wilbur Woodams from its lineup next season. The class was exceedingly well represented on the track team by Captain Art Chamberlain, Oscar MacBain, Julius Kuhnert, “Dutch” Stahlbrodt, Lawrence Angevine, “Fete” Turney and Jack Forsyth. The names of Forsyth and Markham stand out prominently in the baseball lineup. The class has been equally well represented along other lines besides athletics, such as in debating. On the boys’ team which debated against East High we had James Bills and Arling Brown ; on the girls' team Charlotte Graves and Winifred Howard are of the graduating class. On the Occident staff we have Dick Well- ington and John Babcock. In the Musical clubs the man who will be missed most is Howard Lewis, who has been leader of the Glee and Mandolin clubs for the past two years. There arc also numerous other Seniors in both the boys' and girls' Glee clubs but it would take too long to mention their names. Now wc have followed through, briefly, the history of the class and some of the accomplishments which its members have attained in a short four years. But this history is in comparison with that which would go to make up the life story and at the best it could only tell a very few of the deeds of this small percentage. If we could only tell of the strivings, the victories and the failures of every stu- dent in the class this would indeed be a history. But just think how insignificant this history is in comparison with that whch would go to make up the life story of the class after each has finished his mission in this world! You can now sec what a poor attempt this is. “All the world’s a stage,” says Shakespeare. Our life in high school is a very small scene in the play which might be called “The Twentieth Century” and. which is now being staged on the world. The teachers of West High prepare each one of us to act our humble part to the best of our ability. They have, however, only a small fraction of our time in which to give us training for such a great play, so let each of those players, who are to get their training in West High in the future, do his duty both to himself and to the world at large by getting as much out of his life in high school as he can.

Editorial The West High Chess Team is practically a new organization, although last year we met and defeated East High ; that was the only game played. This year, however, the Rochester Chess Club organized the Junior Chess League, in which teams were entered from both High Schools, the University of Rochester, the Jewish Young Men’s Association and the Deaf Mutes. Our showing in this tournament was a pleasant surprise to every one inter- ested in our school. The Rochester Chess Club, as a whole, thought that we had no chance to get the cup whatever, believing that the University would run away with it, but they finished next to last. The J. Y. M. A. took the cup after a nip and tuck race with W. 11. S. in the last game of the year. As this team, on an average, is more than five years our senior, we have just a little reason to be happy even though wc didn't get the cup. Next year the other teams in the league will try to lift the cup from the J. Y. M. A. ami West High will again try its best to capture it. There is one thing connected with school lift which has long been a sore point with us. but which we have never mustered up courage enough to speak about. That is really a two-fold evil, although the two are so nearly the same that it is possible to consider them alike. We mean both copying a lesson from somebody else, and ''trotting.” First of all, what good i% it ? “Why.” you say, “it helps a fellow get good marks.” But does it. in the end. To be sure it docs raise your daily marks a little, but it lowers your self-respect a great many degrees more. It is nothing more than is under investigation at Albany now; the taking of sometlring not right- fully yours, or the taking of a large sum of something dishonestly rather than a small sum honestly. And do you suppose for a moment that any one of the numerous grafters at Albany, or anywhere else, for that matter, can have as much self-respect as he could if he hadn’t taken it? No. And do you suppose that a student can have as much self-respect after getting A’s dishonestly as he did before? No. “But that is all right if properly used,” somebody says. Perhaps. But it is doubtful if any of the “trotters” in school do use them properly. A student starts out all right, probably, but some time he is in a hurry. Then he merely reads the lesson, memorizes it. and perhaps gets an A in class. Next time it is too much bother to study the lesson as he should, so he repeats the previous performance. However, teachers are usually well acquainted with the symptoms, and sonic fatal clay the student is “shown up” before the class. He has lost the respect of his teachers, as well as that of the class, and, what is more, he has lost his self-respect. Are the few good marks worth this? If you cannot get good marks honestly, it is far better to take poor marks honestly and know that the C or little b is yours, instead of having an A and having it belong to someone else. At all events, there is a quotation which is a good one to live up to. We don’t know what it is from, or who wrote it, but it is the truest thing you know. Remember it. “To thine own self be true, and it will follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” When the time came for the Class of June, 1910, to consider the matter of publishing a Senior Annual, they were confronted by a very serious problem. It was just this: All the previous June classes had published Senior Annuals. The Annual had become a regular part of the school life. It was a book which was useful to everybody, and something to which everybody could refer with pleasant mem- ories in after years. Thus it emed as though an Annual was almost necessary. On the other hand, several discouraging facts stared them in the face. The foremost of these was this: Without a single exception there had been money lost on the previous publications. Another was a seeming lack of interest in school publications, as demonstrated by the small number of Occidents sold each month. With this problem to face, the class, for a few flays, was at sea. In the end, however, after lengthy consultation with Mr. Weet, a committee was appointed to ascertain whether or not it would be advisable to go ahead with the book. • The committee stated the. exact predicament of the class, and one day slips were circulated through all the study rooms of the building, in order to find the number of students who would take Annuals should they be published. They obtained what they considered enough, and work was at once begun. Wc want to thank you all for the support you have given us, and for the admirable way iij which you responded when the slips were passed, and we hope that this Senior Annual, published by the June Class of 1910, meets with your approval. A little over a month ago Mr. Weet had a little surprise for us in Assembly. You all know what it was, so wc can go straight to the point. The whole point is this: The Board of Education, acting on recommendations made by Mr. Weet of our own school, and Mr. Wilcox, of East High, decided to abolish football' as it is now played; to do away with games with out-of-town teams for the 1910 season, and to hire an instructor to teach us a new game to he played this fall. 1 he Hoard of Education has the final decision in such matters, so we have no appeal, even though it may seem unjust and wrong. It is doubtful if anyone in school really, really realizes precisely what that means. Just now it is rather like having a friend, a long distance away, die. One doesn't appreciate what that means till it is time to see him again. But. although it seems now as though the abolishment of football would eventually stop the others sports for lack of financial support, still the Board of Education has probably thought out a plan to prevent this. And, although we are depending on the football profit to maintain the Athletic Field, probably there is some other way of supporting it. And, students, it is up to you to do this; since it is settled beyond dispute that we are to have no football this next season, or at least not the kind to which wc arc used, you must turn out for the other teams in large enough numbers so that they will be successes financially. That will be showing the true WEST HIGH SPIRIT; the spirit that cant he beaten ; the spirit which, when beaten in one thing, goes back and wins out the next time.

To Mrs. Ellis, whose fine capa- bilities along this line have been a source of continual praise and comment, we are indebted for all that has been accomplished worthy of commendation. And perhaps at this point a word concerning the work of Mrs. Ellis would not be misplaced. Since the time when West High first opened its doors and came into existence as an institution of learning, Mrs. Ellis has been with ns ready to help and advise and to do anything in her power to bring glory and honor to our Alma Mater. Mrs. Ellis has staged and directed every play that has been given in West High and her superior judgment has been evidenced by each successive production. We can never repay Mrs. Ellis for the time and the energy she has put into our plays, but can limply express, in this poor and inefficient manner, our profound gratitude. May all her future efforts be crowned with success as have been those of the past, and may she always continue to hold the place of highest respect and love in our hearts. The first play which was presented this year was given as usual by the Jan- uary Class. The play finally decided upon was “Lord Dundreary,” better known as “Our American Cousin.” It was written by Tom Taylor, and it was during a production of the same that President Lincoln met his death in Ford’s Theater. The part of the American Cousin was taken by Walter Forsyth and “Jack” in his usual way acquitted himself with “many bells.” To attempt to pick the indi- vidual star would be very difficult as well as unfair to the other members of the cast. It is sufficient to say, therefore, that each in his turn played his part well with the result the audience, numbering some five hundred or more, witnessed an unusually fine Exhibition of dramatic art. The play was well managed and netted the class a substantial gain. Next in order came the Junior Farce, which was played in the middle of April. For this occasion Schiller's “Nephew or Uncle was chosen. The play is a charming hit of wit and has a tangled plot which is not unravelled until the very last. “Bcrnic MacDonald, as the Uncle, played his role exceedingly well, and among the girls, Miss Weis and Miss Sutherland have to parley for the hon- ors. However, wc must not forget the other members of the cast: Miss Kies, as the wife of the Colonel; Charles Stoves, as nephew • Lewis Benzoni, as the friend of the nephew, and the rest deserve their allotment of praise. The play was given before a large audience and revealed very clearly the thorough training it had received. In a financial way the success was even greater, over seventy dollars being turned over by the manager after deducting the expenses. A social even- ing was enjoyed by all in the corridors after the farce. To attempt to give, at this time, an estimate of our own Senior Play would be impossible, as it will not be produced until after this book has been published. However, we can say that the play, “A Cold Mine,” is well under way and hope that its success will be superior to any other play that has been given. And now, in conclusion, can we say that all the time and energy spent upon these plays availed us nothing? Hardly I The training which we have received means far more than we will ever realize, and may all future classes derive the benefits which it has been our pleasure to experience in the perusal of dramatics.

The teams have not only made an enviable record from the stand point of victory and defeat, but all the athletic teams of the past school year have stood for what is best and have acted with true sportsmanlike spirit clear through. Every man on every team has worked his hardest and put his best energies into his work. The true West High Spirit has always been to the fore in all of our athletic contests, and has caused many a favorable comment from the press and public. We have every reason to be extremely proud of the teams that have been known through the year as the Occidentals. Let us review each branch separately. First, of course, comes football. Thi game was a complete success from every standpoint. At the beginning of the season things didn’t look very bright for a winning team but the men workei hard every afternoon and developed into a team that was up to the standard set by West High elevens of former years, and that is saying a good deal. Mr. Hogan Yancey was’our coach and deserv'es a great deal of credit for the record of the team. Yancc was out to win but also to win fairly. Something which can’t be said of every coach. Much credit is also due to Dave Cansdale, our trainer. The physical condition of the team throughout the season was really remarkable and Dave was responsible. Jack Forsyth captained the team and under his leadership the first game was played on the Athletic Field against the team representing the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary. After the first few minutes it was nothing but West High all the way through and when the final whistle blew the score stood 28 to 0. The next Saturday the team played Cook Academy. Cook was cracked up to be just a littfc bit better than we were but the score didn’t prove it true by any means. Captain Jack was a little riled and said he would show that Cook bunch up. We feel very confident that he did, as the final count stood West High 61, Cook 0. The next week however, we had an altogether different proposition to tackle, namely, Masten Park at Buffalo. The year before Masten had trimmed our team 6 to Oand as they had practically the same team again they counted on another vic- tory. The West High teani stormed Buffalo with about three hundred rooters, who showed the Buffalonians that Rochester is far from a dead city, as they term it. The game took place on the Lafayette Athletic Field and Captain For-, syth’s gradiators got away with a hard fought game 12 to 0. The next game was more like practice. The team from Lockport went down to defeat before the Orange and Black to the tune of 75 to 0. Captain Forsyth and Ilendershott each made five touchdowns. Lafayette High of Buffalo next gave us battle, and as the score indicates it was a battle royal. West High scored first but near the close of the second half Lafayette managed to score a touchdown and the failure to kick the goal was the only thing that gave us the victory. The final count was West High 6, Lafayette 0. The Violet and White brought a big bunch of rooters along who took their defeat as only true sportsmen can. The next week wc met defeat. With five men on the hospital list we were pitted against the heavy team of St. John’s Military Academy. The game took place at Manlius before a good sized crowd. West High scored a touchdown but the crippled team'couldn’t withstand the continued battering of the Johnnies heavy back field and bit the dust 15 to 6. During the next week the team rested most of the time and by Saturday were in shape to redeem themselves for the defeat of the week previous. Syracuse came to the Flower City with a big following and because of our defeat at the hands of the Johnnies thought they had the game cinched before it was played. They all changed their tune, however, before they returned home. The score was 18 to 0, • with the Saltines on the minor end. Last came the East High game. Nobody thought that we stood a chance with our rivals from the east, but Dame Fortune chased the eagle of victory to the -range and Black standard.' There was excellent spirit shown, however, by both schools. VY e scored first but it was not long before East High secured a touch- down, giving them the advantage. Hendershott’s good right foot tied the score when lie kicked a beautiful goal from the field. On the next kick off Captain rorsyth captured the ball on our two yard line and just naturally forgot to stop until he had planted the ball between the goal posts for a touchdown. It was a wonderful run to say the least. The half ended with a 10 to 5 score in our favor. 1 lie only score in the second half was a safety secured by East High. This made the final score 10 to 7, with YVest High on the major end, and incidentally brought to a close one of our most successful football seasons. Next came basketball. Tim Mahaney was captain and at the beginning of the season he had a mighty hard task to pick a team as he was the only veteran in school. The team broke about even as far as games won and lost is concerned, but, sad to relate, one of the games lost was to East High. The winners, however, played a whirlwind game and put up about the classiest exhibition of high school basketball ever seen in Rochester. Our team failed to score a single field basket and had to be content with six points from the foul line. The final score was 26 to 6. The season was a big success, nevertheless, as the team made a reputation for clean sport which is what all West High teams stand for. The hockey team was very strong under the captaincy of Ben Forsyth. The team won from several crack sevens both in the city and out. East High and Lafayette were the only teams to win from West High. The first game with our sister school resulted in a 1 to 1 tie. Two extra periods were played but the play- ers on both teams put up such a star defensive game that there was no more scor- ing. Finally the weather man made possible another game and our rivals trimmed us 1 to 0. Tyler Walker’s work at goal was the feature of nearly every game. The indoor track team made a good record. They finished second in the Intcrscholastic meet at the State Armory. The team had practiced hard under the watchful eyes of Trainer Cansdalc and Captain Art Chamberlain, and deserved every hit of praise that was showered on them after the Armory meet. We were hut three points behind East High, who finished in first place. The team held a preliminary meet earlier in the season with the University of Rochester, 1913, team and literally ran away with the frosh. Captain Chamberlain won three first places. The baseball team has so far been the best and most successful of any West High nine. At the beginning of the season Principal Weet told Captain “Howdy Van Dame that if the team was not a greater success than it had been in former years the national game would be discontinued at West High. Van Dame realized that Mr. Weet meant what he said and he has worked hard every afternoon with a large squad and has finally developed a team of which we may well be proud. Thev took a two-day trip to Ithaca to play the Ithaca High School and the Cornell Freshmen and got awav with both games. They took the High School bunch in to the tune of 18 to 2. while they coated the Freshmen with whitewash, scoring a 2 to 0 victory. A little later they entertained the Albion High School and as part of the entertainment they beat them 7 to 5. something no other West High team had ever done. The season, however, is too young to make any definite statement as to the success of the team. It is with regret that, as Athletic Editor of the Occident, I now lay down my pen for the last time. I feel that the different athletic teams of West High deserve a much better summary of their respective seasons than I am able to give them. But we all can’t be geniuses. I therefore close by earnestly hoping that the future West High teams may be as successful as those of the past school year, both in number of games won and, what counts more, the true West High spirit.

Class of 191U Girls' Basketball lcam i A Tale of Two Tickets One evening last winter I sat dozing in my big chair in front of the fireplace, enjoying an attack of the blues. The quiet of the house and the bleakness of the landscape outdoors were sending me deeper and deeper into the slough of despond, when all at once an unfamiliar voice startled me out of my gloomy thoughts.. “Gieer up! the voice said, shrill and tiny, with a little chuckle at the end. I stared straight ahead of me in unbounded surprise. There on the.mantel sat my Billikens, grinning as of old, but now with sparkling eyes and open mouth. My mouth was open, too, just then. “Cheer upj'Mie said again. “Look at me and laugh. “Oh, I hate you! I cried rudely. “You, with your ugly face and impossible body, you can’t make me laugh. Look at this weather, look at me with a sprained ankle, and then laugh if you can. The horrid thing! He did laugh, again and again and again. At first I wanted to choke him, then I just let him laugh, and at last I laughed mvsclf. If you have never heard a Billikens laugh, you don’t know what a really contagious laugh is. Now, you keep still, said Billikens, assuming a severe expression, “while I tell you a story. And this is the story he told me: You probably remember that you found me in the road, evidently dropped from a moving van. Well, up to that time 1 had been living with Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, whom you don’t know and probably never will know, so I am perfectly safe in talking about them. They were a very young married couple. She was small and pretty and incapable, while he adored her very imperfections. One night when Mr. Wilson reached home he found his wife in tears. He spent a great deal of time in comforting and questioning her before he could get an articulate answer. “Oh. Charles, she managed to moan at last. “I’ve lost the tickets for to- night ! “Oh! said Charles blankly. 4 He had supposed that she had burned the biscuits or forgotten to starch his shirt, perhaps, but this was something to cry about. Two yveeks before, Mr. Y ilson s boss, in an unwonted spirit of generosity, had given him those tickets. Ihcy were for the first performance of a new play, and their money value had risen fabulously in the meantime. The two had talked of little else lately, so that is how I knew about it. No wonder Charles looked blank! “Look here, Margie, what have you done with those tickets to-day?” he asked. ‘Nothing at all, Charles. I never touched them—yes, I did. too. I was reading, and the bell rang, and they were right there in the envelope, and I put them in the book to keep my place,” with growing excitement. ‘Where’s that book? ’ demanded Charles feverishly. “I—I gave it back to the lady downstairs this afternoon. It was one I had borrowed from her.” Giarles was half-way down the stairs before she finished the sentence. In no time at all he was back again, angry and excited. “You women—” he began, then stopped suddenly, for Margie threatened to cry. “That obliging friend of yours had borrowed that book from a friend of hers, and it went back to its owner half-an-half ago, with the tickets inside. Gosh, gosh, gosh!” Mr. Wilson would have said something stronger, but his wife had allowed him only a short list of explosives, of which gosh' was the hottest. Oh, how I longed to tell them what I knew! Charles began to throw on his coat and hat and rubbers and muffler. “Where are you going now ?’ said Margie. “After those d------, oh, Margie, can’t I say it .just tin’s once? “No, indeed, Giarles, but you can say exasperating.” “Oh, yes, I’m going bye-bye on the choo-choo cars after those exasperating tickets,” said Charles, idiotically. Margie’s reproachful look overwhelmed him, however, and he was propeslv repentant as he kissed her good-bye and hurried out, telling her to be ready to start for the theater when lie returned. At the door he stopped. “I think I’d better ’phone,” he said, “to let them know I’m coming.” He had the address on a slip 5f paper, and found the number in the telephone directory easily enough. But when lie called up Central, he was sweetly informed that number 4693 had just been disconnected the day before. Poor Charles! how he raged up and down, and how I wished I could tell him what I knew! Hut my lips were sealed. Once more lie kissed Margie good-bye and started out. While he was gone Margie first indulged in a few tears, and then got dressed. She was certainly adorable when she was all fixed up in her best clothes. If Charles had only known how much I loved her I know he would have been terribly jealous. But now just one thought filled my head, as she sat there, waiting, with a little anxious frown between her blue eyes— “How I wish I could tell her what I know! ’ It was eight o'clock when Charles came back, no longer raging and storming, but thoroughly gloomy and despondent. He had had considerable difficulty in finding the street in the first place. He had been told to take a certain car, but he had gone in the wrong direction. On the return trip the conductor forgot to let him off at his street, and he was carried to the end of the line again. At last he alighted from the car at the right corner, a dark and dismal place. The street was unlighted and lie could hardly see the house numbers, but finally he did reach his destination. After a prolonged search the book was found, and in it—not the two tickets, but the empty envelope! Talk about the gloom and despondency when he finished his tale of woe! The atmosphere was fairly damp. There was absolutely no trace of those tickets now. They might be anywhere on the face of the earth for all they could tell. But it was I, Billikens, who saved the day. Mrs. Wilson dried her tears and said, “Now, Charles, this will never do. Let’s look at Billikens and laugh.” So they both looked at me, and I saw my opportunity to save them. Without relaxing my grin in the least, I directed my eyes steadily at Mr. Wilson’s upper left hand coat pocket. Mrs. Wilson, unconsciously following the direction of my glance, uttered a startled exclamation and fainted away—nearly. For there were the two tickets! Then they both remembered that the tickets had been put there the day before, so that they could not possibly be lost or forgotten, and Charles had been carrying them around with him ever since. I had known it all the time, but, as usual, I never received any thanks at all for my timely rescue. But I know that virtue is its own reward, so I do not complain. The chuckling voice of Billikens died away and I have never heard it since. J. J. Jones. To Mr. Weet Friend of to-day, friend of to-morrow. Our success is his joy. our failure Ids sorrow ; Our hoj es he rejoiced in. our burdens he bore. There is no truer friend, nor one we love more. We’ve known him full long and know him full well. Of his many good traits, ’tis needless to tell, P� ut hparing no trumpet to sound his own praise To-day wc would make him the theme of our la vs. Never daunted by fear, when dangers arise. Nor wearing a mask his thoughts to disguise He’s a friend to his friends, and a friend to his foes. And his actions his noble impulses disclose. True, earnest, 'unselfish, one we all trust. For his words and his deeds are meant to he just. And though he may err, in whole or in part Tis a fault of his judgment and not of his heart. % Press onward, he urges, be steadfast and true; Never shirk to-day’s duty, tis God’s plan for you, Tho in cloud hid summit, the goal for which you fight. You will win on some to-inorrow, if your motto be ‘The Right.’ Mindful of thy precepts may we always upward trend, May we catch the world wide vision, may we lend the helping hand; And out upon life's journey, whatever fate’s decree Through all the cycling years of time, wc will remember thee.

The 1909-1910 Enrolment at the Rochester Business Institute between August 1 st, 1909 and May I st, 1910 represented ninety-four cities and towns in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Massachusetts, South Dakota, Colorado, Porto Rico, China and Germany. One hundred fifty-six of these students came direct from high schools, seventy-nine of them entering from the Rochester High Schools. Many of these high school students had already received some instruction in the commercial branches, and full credit for the ground they had cov- ered was allowed in arranging their courses in the R. B. 1. For those who completed the full commercial, shorthand and typewriting courses the demand from business houses was particularly active, the actual number of candidates for such positions falling far short of the number of calls for them. There was no difficulty in assisting all students who completed either the commercial or shorthand and typewriting courses to secure suitable positions. There were a number of high school graduates who prepared for commercial teaching, but not nearly enough to supply the demand. The R. B. I. regularly averages between one thousand and twelve hundred calls per year for graduates from its several departments. The exact number of such calls between August 1st, 1905 and May 1st, 1910, was 481 7 This school is open during the entire year. Students can enter to advantage any month. The special summer school for 1910 for the training of commercial teachers opens July 5th and closes August 12th. The catalogue and summer school bulletin give full information. Y. M. C. A.
