tiun without a single question. There
were sixty others who were marked

Pupils Give Entertainment.
very pleasant entertainment was Civ |
en- last Monday morning in the assembly |
hall Of the Business hy the pupils of Sec |
tion Al. The principal feature of the |
program was the chalk talk by Mr.. C. |
X. bergman. the well-known cartoonist. |
Mr.. Bergman sketched excellent cartoons |
of the principal and other members OF |
the faculty and gave a brief but highly |
amusing talk with each picture. The en-
tertainment was by far one Of the most |
enjoyable that has been held at the Busi-
ness this year. The entire number of |
first year classes was present, as we'll
as few of the second year students.
