r THE High School of Commerce, the best school of its kind in New England, was founded in 1898 as a Commercial Department of Central High School. Mr. Ellis was head of the depart- ment and classes were held in three rooms. In 1906 th's department was transferred to Technical High School and in 1910 it had grown so rapidly that it was seen fit to organize it as a separate school named Commerce. The erection of Com- merce was soon begun and in the meantime the department held afternoon sessions only. In 1915 Commerce was organized with Mr. Carlos B. Ellis as principal. In 12 years the growth of Commerce increased 91 per cent until it is now Springfield’s largest High School. “Industry and Integrity” 2
