The story Of Gavin and his wife

Bookkeeping classes have finish
ed the chapter on Club Records
and for extra credit work have
written a paragraph on, what
benefit can you derive from your
duties as treasurer cf any school
or outside organization? Some
of these papers were as follows:
Being a treasurer Of some club
or organization teaches cne to
develop good business habits. If
you have a large group to take care
of, you have TO have a good system
of keeping records of those who
have paid and those who have not.
The records must be accurate and
up-to-date at all times Another
good business habit is honesty. If
you are a treasurer you must, of
course, be honest. You should never
mix the club money with your own.
If you should ever be a cashier, a
bookkeeper or some such work
which requires the handling of
money and keeping records Of it,
the experience you would have
gained, from being a treasurer OF
club, would be great help to
you.

There are many benefits which
a persons can derive from duties
as a school or club treasurer. One
Of the first benefits Is that 1t gives
you an experience in handling
ether peoples money, and where
neat and accurate recorders are
needed. Your recorder must always
be up-to-date, SO as to be able to
tell at a glance what the financial
standing of the club is. Being a
club or class treasurer may be
your first step toward successful
business life and it will also give
you that trait Of being trust
worthy"
The paragraph written by John
Strauss Is as follows:
There are many benefits that
can be derived from being a trea-
surer in a school club or some
other outside organization. You re-
ceive knowledge and experience in
many lines Of work such as keep
ing records, filing, handling of
money, and ability to meet people
which may be very helpful in a
position you may acquire in your
later life. You have a chance to
improve your premiership and fig
uring which are two very import
ant factors in bookkeeping and
accounting.

YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN

By Bernice FinneSon

The theme Of this novel Is as old
as history-the battle of the artist
against the world. But the subject
Of 1t is as new as the latest dance
tune. young Man with a Horn"
is the story Of a jazz musician, who
Is a genius in the art OF swing,
Of his meteoric rise to fame, and
of the burning conflict between
body and spirit.
Rick Martin Is still in his early
twenties when a famous orchestra
leader hears him and brings him
to New York, where he becomes
famous and sensation, recognized
as the greatest trumpeter in the
business. He is unswervingly de-
voted to one thing-his music. Then
in a Harlem night club he meets
Amy North, brilliant, perverse, COM
plex-everything that Rick is not.
Here is story with a ring OF
truth; the story Of an artist bur-
dened with that difficult baggage
the soul Of an artist. The clean
cut, unpretentious style, the rapid
tempo are beautifully in keeping
with the theme.
