COMMERCIAL CLUB NEWS
On Friday, October II, the Com
mercial Club visited the Telephone
Office, the Court House, and Shock
ley and Humphreys Wholesale store.
At the Telephone Office, Mrs. Hen
ry Adkins and Mrs. Maude Truitt ex-
planned to them how the calls come
through and how parties are con-
nected.
After leaving the Telephone Office
they went to the Court House. In
the Clerks Office, Mr.. Joseph Brim-
er showed them the records of all the
deeds and mortgages transacted in
Worcester County. Mr.. Brimer then
took them to the Court Room and
showed them the Jury room and the
Judges room. Next the group went
to the County Commissioners Office
where they learned about taxes and
how they are estimated.
At Shockley and Humphreys Ware
house. Mr.. Byrd gave them a very
interesting talk about where the goods
came from. Many of the club did not
realize that much of the canned veg
etables we eat come from this vicinity.
Mr.. Byrd's talk was very interesting
to us all. Mr.. Byrd then took us back
and showed us where they keep salt
and several other products. Just be-
fore returning to school, Mr.. Byrd
treated us all to ice cream. The club
enjoyed the trip very much and would
like to go again sometime.
ALUMNI NEWS
Bob Corddry, our editor of last
year, was fortunate enough to be able
to go to Washington College in Ches-
tertown this year.
Washington College is one of the
oldest institutions of higher learning
in the United States. Its earliest or
gins are lost in the past, for it be-
gan as a school established in Ches-
tertown in 1707 or earlier. In 1923
the assembly of the Province of Mary
land gave so much land in ecah county
for public schools. This was one OF
the earliest public school systems in
America. The school already estab-
lished at Chestertown was incorpor-
ated in the new system.
We, the students of Snow Hill High
School wish the best of success to
Bob in his new career.
