Fleury, A. Dostie, M. Prescott Commercial Club News The Commercial Club, under the direction of Miss Marguerite Tapley, opened its activities this year with the initiation of a number ot new members. At the first of the year, the club con- sisted of only four members. After the first ranking period however, the club was increased to sixteen members. The chief aim of the Commercial Club members is to obtain and keep a high average rank. Instead of spending our time arranging parties and dances, we put it to good use by working for awards in shorthand and typewriting, which in the end are more profitable to us. All of the Commercial Club members have won awards either in shorthand or type- writing. Special honor and congratula- tions go to Helen Slonina who received honorable mention in a recent, nation- wide contest for fluency and accuracy in writing shorthand outlines. , The Commercial Club students appre- ciate the fact that we are able to have such a fine club, and we offer our sin- cerest thanks to Miss Tapley who has made our club a success. One of our members, Harriett Laugh- ton, was absent when the above picture was taken. M. Cook, '39
