f)oem. (Senior) In our High School bright and cheery, Sits the class of nineteen ten, We’re the class that grows not weary Striving o’er and o’er again. Four long years have Seniors battled. Trying now our very best To uphold the new school’s standard, Though we’re here from East and West. Some from Glenville, some from South High, Though the number may be small, Central, Lincoln, swell the crowd who Fill our High School’s spacious hall. Here you’ll find the plodding worker, Well prepared to enter life, Not the worthless, lazy shirker With no heart for future strife. Nineteen ten, dear class of pilgrims. Honors we are getting nigh. Thine are now our youthful powers, All thy chosen few, aim high. VALERIA SCHACHA, 1910. 21

Clasts! of ’10 In October 1909, were gathered from the various high schools of the city, the elements of the Class of 1910. Thirteen pupils came from East High School; nine from Central; seven from Lincoln; six from West; three from Glcnville; two from South and one from Shaw. After three years of industrious work, the students left their old schoolmates and teachers and entered The High School of Commerce to continue their business training. Now that the Seniors arc completing their journey, they look back and recall the important events which concerned them on the way. Usually a body of people travel with a leader and for this reason the Seniors had their first meeting, October 29, 1909, and elected officers to guide them through their class meetings and social events. Besides organizing two societies now known as the Kormaw and Ecrem-moc Clubs, the students of the first graduating Class, of this High School, conceived the idea of publishing an annual. Although the days and weeks passed quietly, as individuals, most of the Seniors have been active in making their last days of the school year pleasant and enjoyable. While we Seniors regret leaving our friends and our school, still we rejoice that our future is to be one of industry, and in hours of labor we shall ever have with us sweet memories of our days at “The High School of Commerce.”
