1 . mfr , .N N. f ,, lmimalr X-, Toledo and the St. Lawrence River Project Toledo is today a port of no mean magnitude, as compared, on a tonnage basis, with other Great Lakes ports. We excel in the shipments of soft coal. For several years the shipments of soft coal from Lake Erie ports have run from 22,000,000 to 29,000,000 net, or short tons. Of the total, our port ships from 28 to 35 per cent. With the St. Lawrence River Improvement completed, which may be accomplished in eight or ten years, Toledo and other Great Lakes ports, will become ocean ports. Toledo occupies the supreme position in the whole picture. We are farthest west on the lower lakes level-we are near the center of population and near the center of manufacture in the United States. We have many railroads, we have a river and a bay that will lend themselves to port terminal projects of any magnitude that may be required. A The port that commands the business is that port which builds modern cargo- handling facilities and establishes regular, dependable sailingsf' That spells service to the shipper. It is right and proper that our boys and girls of today should take an interest in the Port of Toledo and in the St. Lawrence River Improvement-the natural route to the sea. These boys and girls of today are the citizens of tomorrow. Their time to do their share of the world's work is close at hand. Port development is constructivwis city building--and The Toledo Port Com- mission, of which Commodore S. O. Richardson is the chairman, is pleased to know of your desire for information on the subject and will appreciate your continued in- terest. . QQ Secretary, Toledo Port Commission. A NOTE. It has seemed fitting to the editors that we make the above recognition of Toledo's harbor for two reasons: first, because so many of our seniors will have something to do in the making of this great port which will spread Toledo's fame far abroad, and second, because the life we have led for the past fifteen years so nearly resembles a harbor. Long ago we started our trip down the river toward the l1arbor's mouth. Year by year we have progressed, always drawing a little closer to the open water, until now, we are ready to pass on out into the stormy waters of the bay. How many of us will founder and how many will survive the gales is a matter that time will prove. We can only hope that all the classmates whom we have come to know and love and from whom we are about to separate will ride safely through the hurricane to reach a safe anchorage in the years to follow. Then, perhaps, when we have outridden the storm rack of the open water we will again enter the harbor and make the dock, where we will foregather and tell each other of our journeys, as is the custom of mariners. .rx I ri' -- ' Joe-A-P e ' 'f Y ,LHYVJ 4 J

' 1 I I ilcwilxniuua L. Le Cercle Francais Le Ccrcle Francais began the year 1924-25 with a good enrollment which was increased by an Associate Member- ship composed of students who were taking their first year of French. The purpose of this club has been directed towards interesting and educating the student in the lan- guage, literature, and life of the French people, and, at the same time, clarifying the pronounciation of words of this beautiful language. Toward this end the club has constant- ly worked, obtaining more pleasing results with each en- deavor. Much of this success may be attributed to the chair- man of the entertainment committee, Anna Rappaport, who handled the year's program very satisfactorily. French was used exclusively in all speeches and entertainments given before the club so as to diffuse a greater knowledge of this tongue. Tout bien ou 'l'Z'0'l1 fthe best or nothingj is the motto of the French Club. In order to carry on the high stand- ards heretofore set by its predecessors, the club has tried to live up to this ideal. With a capable adviser, Mrs. Beardsley, to guide it, success was inevitable. Those who are now leaving the club will look back with pleasure on the many social events that have taken place and resulted in promoting a spirit of good fellowship among the club's members. Upon those who remain will fall the responsibility of maintaining the lofty purpose and keep- ing the spirit of the Le Cercle Fircmcais kindled high.
