Our army fights with various formations, the solid phalanx or the hollow square being the favorite modes, but however we fight, and whenever the contest, a slight advance is gained, and it is prophesied that out of the High School of Commerce Twentieth Century Crusade will grow a movement that will revolutionize the spelling of the English speaking world.. HENRY REICH. 1912. A Popular Srarhrr ON Friday, February 16th, the teachers and pupils were sorry to learn that Mr. J. Earl Griffiths, the head of our Art Department, and for the past three years one of the advisory members of the Annual Board, was about to leave us. He is to take a position in a similar school at Newark, New Jersey. “Commerce” will feel his loss greatly. Our Annuals are in all points second to none of their class, and the Art work produced under Mr. Griffith’s guidance has made them objects of great admiration. He has established the Art Department on such an excellent basis that it will always be a strong division of our curriculum. His genial manner and ready assistance has made him many friends and as a teacher he was loved by all his pupils. We wish to congratulate his new friends on securing his services, knowing what an invaluable man they are getting. We shall never forget our old friend Mr. Griffiths, and we w'ish him every success in his new surroundings. Miss Ely will take the place of Mr. Griffiths on the Annual Board and with her excellent advice the Art work in the Annual will maintain its usual high standard. THOMAS V. MURPHY, Editor. 64
