THE COMMERCE CLUB There is nothing more essential to one's preparation for any field of activity than the now-much-talked-of orientation the acquisition of the correct attitudes and technical knowledge coupled with a live interest, appreciation, and real enjoyment of one's career-to-be. It was for the purpose of fostering the development of this truly professional spirit that the Commerce Club was formed in the fall of 1930. Since then there has been a notable increase in the number of commerce majors listed on its rolls young women who are taking serious and intelligent interest in the intricacies of commercial law and economic problems. Indeed, debaters venturing upon these vast, confusing grounds, have been challenged more than once by some well-informed and quick-thinking member of their sister society. The activities of the club during its second year have been numerous and interestingly varied. Early in the year new students were welcomed by the charter members of the commerce club at a delightful card party in the formal social rooms. The many beautiful prizes became for their winners mementos of the first of a chain of happy and stimulating associations. Of course the first important business the election of officers took place as soon as the members were well enough acquainted with each other to make wise selection possible. Marion Walsh was elected president; Harriet St. Clair, vice-president; Adelaide Cogley, secretary; and Amber Wills, treasurer. Upon the resignation of Miss Wills, Harriet St. Clair accepted the duties of the treasurer in addition to those of her own office. At the second meeting, at which the officers were installed, a contest was proposed between two divisions of the club for the sale of tickets Page 80 Top Row H. Sullivan, E. Lies, V. Konopa, M.

The members entered into the project with the whole-heartedness that augurs success in any business enterprise. A most interesting and instructive activity was a visit which was in reality a detailed inspection to the Federal Reserve Bank and the Chicago Board of Trade, where the officials were painstaking in their explanations of the complexities of the monetary system and of the stock exchange. The experience of holding in their hands, 80,000, though not the most instructive phase of the tour, was by no means the least exciting, and when, in the course of an explanation of the clearing process, they learned that 45,000,000 had been cleared that morning, they began to believe the depression a bad dream from which they were awakening. During a January meeting the constitution which had been drafted by a special committee was read and approved, and a new office, that of social chairman, was established, with Adeline O'Connor as the first appointee. Plans were made for the purchase of additional equipment, and a valuable beginning was soon made in the placing of a new unabridged dictionary in the advanced typewriting room. A new Commerce Club project was launched in February, when, after the musical program contributed by Alarie Stanton and Eleanor Kucki, the first issue of the Commerce Club Bulletin was distributed. It was an immediate success, and all the more delightful because unexpected. Certificates were awarded on Alay 24. Pate 81 lt;m / S 7 it; ;V-W b w /TV',1- V/t
