DOREEN ADDY INJURED BY AUTO An unfortunate and distress- ing accident happened on Marine Drive between 23rd and 24th streets last Monday morning about 8 o'lock, when little Do- reen Addy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Addy, 24th and Hay- wood, crossed the road in front of a standing ferry bus and ran into a car driven by i~Ir. Draper. Fortunately the car divas being driven comparatively slowly, else the accident, which was al- together unavoidable on the part of the driver, might have been more serious. Doreen was taken into a nearby store and assist- ance was given by Mr. Draper as well as by many others who saw the accident. Dr. Bayfield was quickly on the spot, and it is hoped that the little girl will soon recover from the injuries which she sustained, which are not as serious as was first thought. mtramii/«i." gl 4$1l/." ~ r April 27. 1928.

Therefore, the mak- ers of the standard machines of the world today acknowledge results attained by students and give evidence of that acknowl- edgment by suitable awards, awards not only of intrinsic val- ue in themselves, but which are so graded as always to inspire the students to continued and better eKorts. Last week t~vo commercial students were presented with awards earned this term. Miss Helen Colpitts, who had previ- ously earned and received the Underwood Typewriter Com- pany's Initial Certificate, was presented with a leather card case for typewriting 36.9 words per minute on a Remington ma- chine. Miss Frances Brydon- Jack was presented with the L. C. Smith Certificate for type- writing 38 words per minute on the L. C. Smith machine, and ivith the Underwood Certificate for tvpewriting 43.7 words per minute on the Underwood ma- chine. AUith the latter award, 5Iiss Brydon-Jack is entitled to a bronze medal, but owing to the fact that the United Type- writer Company's supply of these medals is temporarily ex- hausted, this aivard has been de- layed. During this school year, iAIiss Brydon-Jack has also been presented with a Remington silver emblem for attaining a rate of 48 words per minute, and in the most r~ent tests has qualified for higher asvards. Other awards which have been presented during the pres- ent school year are: Underwood Certificates--Miss es Dorothy Payne and Ella Gen- tleman.
