THE COMMERCE CLUB THE iMUNDELEIN CECILIAHS THE Mundelein Commerce Club, established on principles similar to those of the Chicago Commerce Club, has for its aim, not the mere development of social graces, but the more practical aim of service. Membership in the club is chiefly held by the secretarial students. The specific purpose of the club is to gain a broader knowledge of business, in order to meet intelligently economic problems. Meetings are held bi-monthly, and although they are devoted chiefly to quite scholarly conferences, no one must imagine that entertainment is barred entirely. Because of its nature, the Commerce Club holds a unique position among the Mundelein organizations. Its members gain valuable practice in actual office work in the Model Office, and receive experience in handling the different pieces of business equipment. One of the most interesting projects in which the girls have been engaged is that of following the tentative schedule of a secretary for a specified period of time, performing the various duties that are most likely to occur in the course of the day's work, such as taking dictation, typing, filing, cutting stencils, and meeting prospective clients. Another enterprise on which the club members entered with an enthusiasm not unmixed with trepidation was the time spent in the offices on the first floor, where they added new stores of practical information to the theories learned in the classrooms upstairs. Some of the more enthusiastic members, not content with these ventures, visited the Chicago Board of Trade, the Continental and Commercial bank, and other noteworthy business centers in the city, in order to observe at first hand present-day methods of procedure. Club projects are also calculated to arouse in the members a high standard of professional interest in the correct use of the files, the duplicating machines, the computing and adding machines, the stencils, and many other modern time-saving devices. Chief of all the club's objectives, however, is that which the organization holds constantly before itself of developing the highest ethical attitudes in the members toward their chosen profession. That they may be competent and well-informed business women, fitted by their traits of initiative, dependability, accuracy, and judgment to become leaders in their work, is the constant endeavor of the Mundelein Commerce Club. The Tower i UNDER the name of Cecilians, and, as the name implies, under the protection of the great martyr patroness of music, St. Cecilia, the students of the Music Department have organized a social group. The purpose of the club, which lists on its roll of members students who are also members of the orchestra and the Glee Club, is not so professional in its nature as either of these organizations. Yet its aim is not entirely a social one. These coming musicians would increase their knowledge of, and introduce to others, the enchanting land of the great masters of music. The Cecilians intend, through their social organization, to bring into their everyday, practical life as a cultural element the technical and historical knowledge they acquire in their music classes. Therefore one is not surprised to learn that the club members converse quite interestingly about medieval jongleurs and the ancient ancestor of the harp. When the Cecilians were first organized, the following officers were elected: president, Chesa Wolniewicz; vice-president, Harriet St. Clair; secretary, Mrs. Marguerite Walker; treasurer, Emer Phibbs. Under their direction, and aided by the club's faculty adviser, a number of interesting programs have been presented at the monthly meetings. At the opening of each meeting, all business is taken care of, and activities for the coming month are planned. Business over, however, the Cecilians turn their attention to things artistic and amusing. Should a stranger to the seventh floor stray near the music library, that delightful room with its quaint cloister shelves and its lovely view of the lake, during the latter part of the Cecilian confluence, she would discover, perhaps, a group of musicians to be enjoying a vocal and instrumental recital, including folk songs and selections from grand opera, solemn processionals, and gay gavottes, or listening to the Steinway Duo-Art reproducing piano. And perhaps she would see those same musicians a few minutes later engaging in the diverting occupation of solving musical picture-puzzles. And this stranger would discover that a music club can be a very lively, interesting, instructive, and delightful club indeed. The Cecilians have chosen an artistic club pin, designed in the shape of a shield. It is emblazoned with the phoenix drawn in red on a background of gold, and bears the college motto, Via, Veritas.
