1 1 'HE most Interesting and instruct
X ive assembly of the term was held
last .Monday , . morning during the
registration period. The assembly wa
held under the auspices of the June, '18,
and the class is endeavoring to make
It a weekly affair. The members in
charge of the assembly are Norman
Henderson, chairman; Betty Nusbaum
and Carl Silkier. The assembly was
called to order by Morris Rogoway,
president of the class, due to the
absence of the chairman of the assem
bly committee, Norman Henderson. The
programme opened with a salute to the
flag by the entire school. Miss Helen
Levoff, of the June, '18, class, favored
the school with a selection on the pi
ano. Mayor George L. Baker was then
introduced to the students and he gave
a short but instructive as well as an
interesting talk along practical lines.
Mayor Baker urged all students to con
tinue their study of the commercial
course, as there is a great opportunity
in store for them in the future. The
Mayor defined "Efficiency" to the stu
dents and told them to strive for it, as
It is the keynote to success in the
business world. Principal Sproul then
gave a -brief talk and asked the stu
dents to think over the points brought
out by the Mayor's talk and also urged
the students to live up to the very best
in themselves. The assembly then
closed by the singing of the '"Star
Spangled Banner," led by F. N. Haroun,
of the faculty.
It is the intentions of the June class
to have one prominent business man of
tlie city to address the students at each
assembly in order that the students
may learn of the needs of practical
work in their course. In this way busi
ness men will know what Is being
taught and the practical experience of
fered at Commerce.

portance was turned out last week by

work proves satisfactory to their em
ployers their diplomas will be granted
them along with the other members of
the class that remained at school.
Aa the football season for 1917 la
now over and the Commerce aggrega
tion has proven Itself more successful

way, August Wagner, James May, Rob
