BY FRANK BARTHOLOMEW. THE entire scholl was saddened to learn of the death of Miss Lillian Freund last Sunday. Miss Freund was a very "popular girl and a senior at Commerce. The June class, of which she was a member, attended the funeral in a body Wednesday morning. a The third Spanish class has been transferred to Lincoln High School and will be taught in the future by Roy Gearhart The first and second classes will be taught in room 2 at Commerce by Antonio Vejar. The Franklin High School reporter stadted in last Sunday's paper that Franklin had beaten Commerce in bas ketball by a scort of 47 to 15. This was an error. Commerce has not played Franklin yet; In fact, the game is scheduled for the very tail-end of the season. a a a The first issue of the Ledger, Com merce's semi-monthly newspaper, is due next Tuesday. Theodore Trautmann, the circulation manager, has been in dustriously making stump speeches throughout the school, and as a result The Ledger has even a larger number of subscribers than was counted on, Two recent additions to the staff are Ralph Morris, who will edit the humor division, and Blanche Walker, who will handle the society and school news. Benson Polytechnic School defeated the High School of Commerce in bas ketball last week by the score of 32 to 25. Benson got the lead on Com merce during the early part of the game, and while Commerce, by steady pegging, greatly reduced the lead, still when the whistle blew Benson was ahead by seven points. Samuel Tessler and August Belch starred for Com merce. a ' a a The June class held a special meet ing last Monday. The regular meeting of the class is scheduled for 230 P. M. tomorrow. Miss Worth, of the commercial art department, has installed an exhibit of art posters in the lower hall. The Modos Society, which was to have held its regular election for the term last Wednesday, postponed the meeting n account of the death of Lillian Freund. The basketball game with Hill Military Academy was postponed one day also. a a Ralph Morris, humor editor of The. Ledger, announces that two free tick ets to the Sunset Theater will be given to each student who contributes a joke which the paper accepts for publica tion. Baseball has already put in its ap- earance at Commerce. The inevitable games of catch, which precede the regular practice, are being played at noon and after school. No broken win dows have been reported yet; this, how- ver, according to the optimistic com ment of one of the "keypounders," ar gues well for the control of the Com merce pitchers. m a - a The High School of Commerce de feated Hill Military Academy in bas ketball by a margin of 18 points, last Thursday. The final score was 12 to 30. The game was by no means a walk away, for the "Keypounders" had to ight hard for every point from the 'Soldiers." Henry Pander, of Com merce's second team, was one of the stars of the game. An unusually large proporitlon of Commerce students were on hand to see this game, which was played on the Washington High School floor.
