COMMERCE SYLVIA BEARDSLEY, 37 Bancroft Street. A big blonde, with a blonde heart. You will always see Sylvia before some mirror, fixing her coiffure. She was a member of the Senior Play chorus, and we think she will never forget those two memorable nights. Why ? IDA BETTIGOLE, 62 Howard Street. Ida is certainly a popular member of the class. She has always been faithful to her studies, completing her high schooling in record time. She is a good sport, and will be remembered by her many friends. MILDRED BLAIR, 6 Pomona Street. Here she comes! Look out! A dash and a shriek. Just watch her step when passing 221. Mildred likes the faculty of H. S. C., but there is one she “ad- mires” particularly. We think the feel- ing is mutual. Don’t you, Millie? Mil- dred was one of the four maidens in “Princess Chrysanthemum.” FRANCES CERAGO, 171 Walnut Street. You all know “Chick,” do you not? Well, if you do not, just look into Room 218 at almost any time. She is sure to be there. We shall surely all miss you, Frances. “Chick” is an active member of the Aloha Club, and was one of “those” four maidens. Lest we forget, she is one of those well-known triplets—S. C. M. B. C. C. Co. Are you still wearing a Stoic pin, “Chick”? SYBIL COOLEY, 54 Calhoun Street. Theda Bara’s understudy. Yes, she’s the perfect wonder at the piano. When anyone wants music at the piano, he calls for Sybil. Her fingers are as nimble on the typewriter as on the ivories. She is an enthusiastic member of Aloha. She also made a hit as one of the four fam- ous attendants in “Princess Chryanthe- mum.” She had ome merry times the nights of the Senior play, and after the performances. Sybil, how about it? MARION E. CORMACK, Wilbraham, Mass. The High School of Commerce loses a loyal member when Marion goes. Since her entrance, she has been a faithful stu- dent and always an honor pupil. Now that she is about to enter the business world, we look to her for great accom- plishments. Her friends could ne’er wish for a truer or more congenial friend. ROSE CUNNINGHAM 65 Pine Street. Rose is an ardent disciple of Pavlowa. Some seem to believe that she should nev- er be working in any office when she is so much batter adapted to dancing. She is not above jazz, either, incidentally and is accomplished in that art. Any boy, including M. D., will testify that Rose is one of the most popular of the girls and certainly one of the cutest. ESTHER DAKIN, 38 Clayton Street. Esther never even whispers, but you can tell she’s there. She is a good work- er, a fine girl, a real pal, a true citizen of Commerce. Patience must be her middle name, as no task seems too big or too tedious for her. Esther is Mrs. B.’s protege, and is wedded to the type- writer. CECILE DEN AULT, 11 Warrtn Street. The business girl, and the crackerjack stenographer. Cecile is bashful, with a pretty blush, which we see quite often, as she hates to recite. We wish you had conquered the shyness and let the real brilliancy shine through. CATHERINE DUFFY, 122 Miller Street. The other twin, Catherine, is a desir- able pal, famous for her Pollyanna Traits. She is 100 per cent friendly and has a smile for everyone. Ever noticed the way the corners of her eyes wrinkle up when she laughs. Nice, isn’t it? 1 1

COMM CARL HERBERT SWENSON, 14 Butler Street. From the land of the bricks and the Peerless A. C, comes “Swanee,” and a real unpolished diamond he is, too; and not so unpolished at that. Surely you lave not forgotten the memorable occa- sion of the class social, when he blos- somed forth in all his glory and danced one whole dance, without outside assist- ance, or aid. And don’t forget that pink shirt, either, nor the green tic. “Swan- ee” has always been an old reliable espe- cially in Law. Although one member has not forgiven him yet for deserting him in an hour of need, still he was al- ways an ever-spouting fountain of law when it came to the delicate points. Mr. Miller sometimes disagreed with his rea- soning process, hut “Swanee” never gave in without a hard fight and much refer- ence to the depths of Gano, while the rest wondered at his knowledge. He al- Senior HELEN ALLEN, 93 Miller Street. One of our class favorites, who is very fond of all her studies. It is a familiar sight to see Helen flying along the corri- dor at 8.29 a. m., make a dive for 222 and just slide into her seat when the bell rings. Helen is quiet except when she is arguing over a short-hand outline. MARGARET ANDREWS, 97 Bowles Street. Margaret is another of the quietly stu- dious. She is an ardent supporter of the Areopagitica, and is liked by everyone who knows her. She is also a strong contender in favor of Great Britain in all arguments. She has also been a promi- nent worker on the Commerce Business management. DOROTHY BASSETT, 265 Fulton Street. “Dot” stands for all that is quiet and E R C E so was fain to believe himself ordained of God, Hayden Karcher or some other equally important personage, to act as a Maxim silencer when “Wes” Foss ad- vanced some of his pet theories or un- answerable questions. For this Mr. Miller and the class are surely de- voutly thankful. Frederick Winslow Taylor has often found support in the person of this individual, and he can tell you all about system in all its forms. We fear, however, that he knows little of the ground for his proximity to Moth- er Earth is far from close. We are un- able to state whether he is the one who sets the clock on the municipal tower to save anyone from going up in the eleva- tor, or not. His strength has probably been gained from conveying food the tremendous distance from his plate to his mouth. “Swanee” has also managed to gain admittance to most of the important school activities, and is a Stoic, and a hail fellow, well met, for all. Girls industrious. She makes a very digni- fied Senior, hut when at “Chick” Cera- go’s jolly table at lunch, she expresses her opinion of subject and subject, and teachers and—matrimony. How about it, Dot? GERTRUDE BEAMAN 220 High Street. When there is anything to be done, she is the one to do it, and do it right. En- ergy is her middle name, and after gain- ing prominence through the gymnasium work, in which she excels, she maintain- ed it in various ways, as President of the Aloha, (Erls’ Sporting Editor of Com- merce, and several important committee jobs in the class and various organiza- tions. She has always been a favorite among faculty and students alike, and her unfailing efforts have resulted in a great deal of accomplishment during her four years in the school.

COMMERCE EILEEN DUMAS, 22 Central Street. The happy-go-lucky girl is Eileen. She is one of the best girl speakers the school has ever produced. Although she often does get caught napping, she always has something to say. She is the oasis in the desert of Mr. Masters's law class. One of her noteworthy statements in this cir- cle of learning, is that she thought pon- ies always grew up. Eileen is a staunch supporter of both the Girls’ Glee Club and the Areo. She has caused Mr. Cum- mings to rack his brain for answering ar- guments more than once in that first pe- riod English class. Eileen is immensely popular, however, in all circles. DORIS ELA, 52 Wellington Street. Doris is a quiet member of our class. Her chief hobby is giving speeches and all her study periods are spent in im- proving her speech. She is an efficient worker, with a mind of her own, and we like her for it. ESTHER GERSTEIN, 1054 North Street. Esther is our noted typewriting ex- pert. As a reward for her ability, she gets the special work. Yet she does not appear grateful. Esther has a fine mem- ory, a shrewd mind, and the ability to do thorough work. LOUISE HARVEY, 353 Armory Street. She is a peach all around. She has a smile for everyone, a clip remark, or a compliment for some. Neither do these qualities interfere with her capabil- ity, as her success in managing candy sales shows. She is one of the smartest and most dependable girls in the class. Louise will always be remembered by the Areopagitica, where she was an ad- mirable president. LEONTINE HERVIEUX, 37 Jasper Street. Here’s the girl that will never be kept down. She is well-known for her frank and earnest opinions, which she never fails to express. She’s a good sport and her heart is in the right place. We like you, “Erenchy,” and hope your spirit will never get crushed. Leontine sure- ly made a fine looking Jap in the Senior play. ALICE HIGGINS, 47 Vermont Street. This is the girl for detail, and yet Alice tells some very interesting stories, especially in Law, 214. She is a good worker in every class. Her sympathy is always in the right place, and she en- courages you by showing that you are not the only one who has troubles. ELVA HOWARD, 739 Main Street. The girl with the million dollar smile. It gets everybody. She is the girl with the blue eyes and blond hair, the pleas- ant. happy-go-lucky manners, and cheer- ful countenance. Do you remember her as one of the fairies in the famous group of dancers in the Senior play, and later at the Gym. meet? Elva, we would like to know where you get all the fraternity pins ? LILY HOGBERG, 65 Eddy Street. Lily Hogberg has always been a faith- ful student, from the time she entered the High School of Commerce. She has worked industriously and has always re- ceived honor ranks. No pupil could have lived up to the motto of our school, “In- dustry and Integrity,” better than she. The High School of Commerce loses a loyal and true friend with her graduation. BESSIE M. JARVIS, 41 Oak Street. Bessie Jarvis, our class poet, is very shy, but witty. When “Bess” as she is usually known, was called upon to make a speech, every one took delight in it, for we always looked forward to an original bit of poetry in it. She did not belong to any organization but devoted most of her spare time to writing poems. Every one will have an opportunity to see some of her work, for she has written the Class Song. 1 2
