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

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

COMMERCE FLORENCE JONES, 58 Holly Street, Indian Orchard. Here we have another great musician. Florence has played in the orchestra from the first. I have heard it said she can even play the violin in her sleep. Flor- ence is also called one of those insepara- ble twins (lots of them in this class) by Mrs. Bullman. Her twin is a young lady whose name also begins with a “J.” Flor- ence is hardly ever seen in the corridors without her twin. She also possesses the ability to give excellent speeches in Eng- lish, although she never yet has had the courage to face all the English teachers in assembly. Her large vocabulary has often puzzled Mr. Cummings, but she has always gotten by. But you just couldn’t catch Florence making a mistake on the violin. RUTH KANE, 155 2 High Street. One of the brightest girls in the class is Ruth, and one of the most popular, for she has many friends. She is very orig- inal, possessing the much sought after quality of initiative to a marked degree. She is also quite athletic, being one of the stars on the famous advanced Sophomore Basketball team. Ruth is one good sport. MARION KENNEY, 534 Liberty Street. Marion Kenney is one of our most pop- ular girls. Always jolly, she takes her own part in every class activity and is not afraid to stand up for her own rights. Marion is popular with the male sex, too. Not the least of her charms is her danc- ing. and you will always find that she has more partners than there are dances. Aside from these qualities she is a good student, and has done a great deal of war activity work. LOUISE KINGSBURY, 45 Spring Street. ’Tis said that this young lady’s tongue is hung in the middle, at least it is quite often in operation, sometimes when Miss Dearborn or another member of the au- gust and esteemed faculty would deem it more advisable that it ceased. BLANCHE LEARD, 66 Edgemont Street. Blanche is a wonder, yet few are real- ly aware of the fact, because of her quiet, unassuming manners. She never says anything, but when you want sym- pathy, go to Blanche. LOUISE LACOULINE, 59 Portland Street. Louise is one of the girls Commerce is proud of, as she has finished the course in three and one-half years. The Bas- ketball team and Areopagitica are going to miss you, Louise. HELEN MANNING, Longmeadow. Helen is a real Irish lassie, with native wit. If you catch her with a dreamy look in her eyes, you may be sure she is planning some new stunt, preferably on the piano. We cannot mention all oi Helen’s good points, but we will say she is first, last and always, a true Friend. marion McCarthy, 169 Dickinson Street. Marion McCarthy is one of 1919’s many good looking girls, and also one of the popular members with both sexes. She is noted for her iolly and optimistic nature, and always has a smile for every one. Besides this, Marion is a very good dancer, as many of the boys will testify. She is always willing to do her part in every class and school activity, and ready to help anyone in trouble. Marion is noted for her typewriting skill, (ask Mrs. Bullman.) MILDRED McPARTLIN, 3 Sorento Avenue. Mildred is one of the jolliest girls in the class; “come easy, go easy,” for Mil- dred. Just to look at Mildred, you would know trivial things like home- work never worried “Milly.” She en- joys her study periods much more than her studies, yet she is a “general favor- ite” with the faculty. 1 3
