Whether this person has been an inventor, an author, a speaker, or a laboring man, as long as he had given something to the world and had established a name for himself and his successors, he had a history. Therefore, we the January 1926 class of the High School of Commerce, having donated much to the history of Commerce deem it only necessary and proper to leave behind us a history to which every member of the school in future years may look with amazement and envy. It was in January 1923 when our history began, just three years ago. Yes, time certainly flies. From every junior high school in the city our 150 and more class members migrated. Such a class, it was the first to show a large number of boys. A month after our entrance came the first big event—our very own re- ception, given us by the Seniors. With the exception of the Girls’ Gym- nastic Meet in which some of our athletic members took part, the remain- der of the semester passed uneventfully and quickly. During our Sophomore year as IA’s the class organized under Miss Pearl Davis. A nominating committee was appointed and the following officers were nominated and elected: President—Norman Turner Vice-1’resident—Josephine Weslosky Secretary—Grace Noonan Treasurer—Dorothy O’Malley Auditor—Kate Vogeler During this semester we showed our originality in having a IA social, which no other class ever had in their Freshman year. Mary Pay and Dorothy Glyn sang and we entertained ourselves by dancing. Such a so- cial, our first and most enjoyable. Our Sophomore year sped along and soon we were Juniors and we elect- ed our new officers to guide us through that most important school year: President—Josephine Weslosky Vice-President—‘Paul Blackmer Secretary—Grace Noonan Treasurer—Dorothy O’Malley Auditor—Kate Vogeler In the interclass speaking contest, the first prize was won by Harold Riner of our class. This was about the happiest year our class ever spent in Commerce. There was always something to do. In the fall of 1924 we became IIA’s and the following acted as officers: President—Eleanor Jefferson Vice-President—Elsie Johnson Secretary—Dorothy O’Malley Treasurer—Alice O’Brien Auditor—Walter Hinkley Norman Turner surprised us all by his remarkable dramatic ability which he disclosed in the school play, “Come Out of the Kitchen”. At Christmas, we combined with the I IB’s and gave the usual Christ- mas Assembly program in the form of a play, following the custom of in- viting the members of the Home for Aged Women as our guests. In January 1925, we had our IIIB social which proved a great success. 37 CADUCEUS Walter Hinkley, our class soloist, sang several songs and was accompanied by a chorus of girls. During this senior year, Grace Cohen took the position of Editor-in- Chief of the Commerce paper with several members of our class under her supervision. Our competent class officers were re-elected to serve again. During this semester we decided to adopt the school colors as our class colors. Because of other activities, Miss Davis was unable to continue with her excellent work as our adviser, so we organized under Mr. Charles T. Pow- ers. Grace Cohen was awarded the American History Medal for efficiency in the study of history and Kate Vogeler received honorable mention. In September we became advanced Seniors. How dignified we were. After three years of drilling in the school rules, we really felt capable of regarding ourselves as loyal citizens of Commerce. In October, we gave the incoming Freshmen a reception. The play pre- sented was “The Florist Shop’ in which Horace Sornborger, Martha Rosenthal, Grace Noonan, and Norman Turner starred. It proved to be the most successful reception ever given in the history of Commerce. We decided to combine the senior books of both the IIIB and the IIIA Classes into one Year Book. Alma Lewis, an athletic member of our class, won the tennis tourna- ment of this year and was awarded the tennis cup while Marion Stevens won the city diving championship. And now comes the hardest part of all, the saddest time in all our three years—the final parting. The three years which in the beginning stretched out in an appaling space of time, have flown by all too fast. Very soon now, they will be the past—the happiest three years of our life. But always, wherever we go and whatever we do, we will remember Commerce, our Alma Mater, and we will always endeavor to follow our school motto: “INDUSTRY AND INTEGRITY”.

Just think, in five min- utes we are to have possession of the largest radio station in Los Angeles for two whole hours. What news we can send home' to dear old Commerce High!” “I’ll say I’m excited. Are you sure you wrote Mr. Ellis that at seven o’clock tonight the January class of 1926 will broadcast a tenth anniver- sary program?” “You bet I did. He wired that he intended to use some of the news we send in for assembly lectures to relieve the monotony of the lunchroom topic! Good heavens! It’s timeto start now. Let’s take a good deep breath!” This is Station H. S. C. broadcasting from Hotel La Weslosky, Los An- geles California; Helen Hickey and Bessie Greenfield announcing. Our first number will be an overture by Paul Blackmer’s famous “Rubber Band.” Among his talented players are Jacob Walansky, Ed Shea and Israel Myer- owitz. Their selection is called “The Last Stretch.” Walter Hinckley, our modern Caruso will now sing a classical number entitled “The Cat’s March Around the Ashbarrel.” Eleanor Jefferson, considered by some the cat’s meow, will accompany Mr. Hinckley on the “ear drum.” Lillian Panto will next read a letter just received by her from Dorothy O’Malley who is travelling in Europe in quest of material for her new' book, “A Woman s Glory is her Tongue.” “Dear Lil: I have met several of our former classmates while in Europe. The largest tearoom in Paris, Cafe de Slavensky et Rosenberg, is owned by two of our Commerce pals, Bertha and Rosamond. They informed me that among their chic waitresses are Mabelle Briere, Mabelle Kaeppelle, Florence Gendron, and Mildred Coven all of whom have learned to carry their trays on one finger and collect tips with the other nine ” “The star of the Parisian Stage is no other than our own Louise Wohl- fahrt. Her number is called “Catch Me, I’m your Neighbor’s Cat.” I have just returned from a trip to the coast where I saw' Marion Stevens make her first attempt to sw'im the English Channel. She became exhausted half way across so swam back to shore. Walter Cohen, her coach advised her to do this. Clever Walter.” ’ “Before leaving England I visited Wimbledon where I saw' Alma Lewis crowned the National Tennis Champion. The crown she received was de- signed w'ith specially laid eggs from Holyoke. Lovingly, Dot.” We wish to announce at this time that Horace Sornborger, still a fresh- man at Yale, has been elected mascot of the Yale Pigskin Booters, the fastest basketball team in the South. We always knew- Spike was a clever fellow! Grace Noonan, popular movie artist, is now starring in ‘Flaming Youth.’ She is supported by Norman Turner who is showing the strain! Grace Cohen is editor of the pride of Toonerville, Cal., “Ye Olde Towne Wise Cracker”. Most of the news she receives from Agnes Lillis, who re- cently has been afflicted with lockjaw. She still is wandering what caused it • We have just received the surprise of our life. Sam Feiner, Simon Gold- smith, Louis Martinelli and Edward Shea have just arrived at the studio. They have been stranded in Los Angeles for three days and have not eaten for two. We have agreed to give them their train fare back home if they w’ill render a selection. They will sing “Show Me The Way To Go Home ” 41 CADUCEUS Next, Bessie Paroshinsky, a partner of the iParoshinsky, Peterson, Platt and Pike Company will speak on the modern question “How To Prevent Red Flannels from Shrinking.” Skirts of course, children! The final number on our program will be an original poem read by Alice O’Brien. It was written to bring back happy (?) memories. Last night as I wended my way from the post, Attempting to think of some victims to roast, I met Mr. Powers who gave me a note, “These verses,” he said, “for your annual I wrote.” There’s Turner who thinks he’s a howling young sport, Martinelli who often does E. Johnson court, , Ed Shea who attempts to look tough, And Blackmer, who always is trying some bluff. There’ Murray and Quint, that dashing young two, Whom Myers induced to come out for the crew, He gave them a tub which had been through the war, And bade them with toothpicks to “pull for the shore.” And the foolish Mike Mitchell, the fusser supreme, Who boasted and bet that he’d manage a team, And Peterson, the “Com.,” whom none can surpass, In a nervy display of impregnable brass. There’s Spike Sornborger who played in the backfield last fall, His hat, seems to me, is three sizes too small, And then there’s McDonald who seems to believe, That no one in Springfield his worth can conceive. Two more will we mention the first one is Shaw, Who finally managed to get by in Law, The last one is Govoni, see to it he’s fed. With something to lessen the size of his head. We will close our program by singing one verse of number 4. Excuse us, Page 4 is torn out so we will sing twice on Page 2. The January class of 1926 sends their fondest regards to all of their for- mer Commerce associates. Signing off at 11:15 Goodnight! Helen M. Hickey 42 CADUCEUS PROPHECY ON THE PROPHET “Extra!!! Extra!!! “Honors of Women’s Division of Olympics captured by U. S. Women's Team. This was the shout that I heard from the hardened lungs of the news- boys as I was checking in at the Waldorf-Astoria in 1932. As the winning of an Olympic Chamionship does not happen every day, I bought a paper and read an account of the games. One name that was prominent among the point winners for the U. S. team, was that of Helen Hickey. Somehow, this name sounded familiar to me. As I read on further, I saw this: “Helen Hickey, chief point winner of the women’s division is one of the new mem- bers on the team. Since her high school days, Miss Hickey has been mak- ing a name for herself in women's sports. She is a graduate of the High School of Commerce, Springfield, Mass, class of ’26. No longer did I have to wonder. Helen Hickey, the highest scorer in the women’s Olympics, is a graduate of Commerce ’26, the class in which so many brilliant (?) pupils were graduated. No wonder her name sound- ed familiar. Talking about classmates, that makes me think of another classmate I met recently. Bessie Greenfield, whom so much has been written about as founder of the Home for Homeless Dogs, is none other than the Bessie who graduated in that same class—'26. Due to an alarming decrease of dogs, and a large increase in “hot dogs , Bessie deemed it necessary to save the unlicensed canines of this country from the hands of the frankfurt manu- facturers. In reward for Bessie's year’s of (not at) hard labor, a delega- tion of citizens from Oshkosh have awarded her a medal for saving dogs and stomachs (live dogs from the butcher, and stomachs from the “hot dogs’). Little have I dreamed that in but such a few years, members of the class of ’26 would gain nationwide prominence for what they have done. Walter Cohen 43 THE HIGH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE CADUCEUS CLASS WILL We, the class of January 1926 of the city of Springfield, County of Hamp- den and state of Massachusetts, being of sound mind, memory and under- standing, do make, publish, and declare the following as and for our last will and testament, and do desire that our last requests be carried out as hereinafter directed. ITEM 1 To Mr. Ellis, we give and bequeath our deep felt gratitude and our sincere admiration for his fatherly advice and his never failing energy and help. ITEM II To Mr. Powers, our adviser, we bequeath our profound esteem and thankfulness for his kindly advice and his untiring efforts in all our undertakings. ITEM III To our faculty, we leave our deep thanks for their kindness and solicitude and for the knowledge we have gained from them. ITEM IV To the undergraduates, we set an example of lofty inspirations and actions to admire and be guided by, but which they mav never hope to equal. 1. Turner Cook, leaves his eternal springfever, which is in the form of fancy socks, tardiness, and gaudy neckties, to Max Carter. 2. Mabelle Briere leaves this box of rouge to Marie Hamann to brighten her future. 3. To Gertrude Fitzgerald, a golden blonde, “Mickey’' Feiner bequeaths his solution of ammonia and peroxide. 4. Eleanor Jefferson leaves her peaches and cream complexion to Eleanor McDonald. 5. To help Glena Rowley in her ability as a good mixer, Grace Cohen leaves an egg-beater. 6. Helen Hickey leaves her reputation for being one of the best little sports of Commerce to Madeline Lambert. 7. To Florence Katz, May Poltenson, class baby, gives her favorite bottle. 8. Lillian Panto leaves her new line to Una Hilliker, to replace Una’s old one, which is getting worn out. 9. Our class “Dougie Fairbanks”, Norman Turner, leaves his place on the Commerce stage to Melvin Woodlock. 10. To all class treasurers, Alice O'Brien bequeaths the penny bank with which she collected the IIIA class dues. 11. To any one who is curious. Mabel Kaeppel leaves her knowledge of “Why men go blind”. 12. Norma Cook leaves her ability to go out every night in the week and still be an honor pupil to all those who dare try it. 13. Lois Ruland leaves her chewing gum to Emily Palmgren. 14. In order that she may make more stir, Agnes Lillis, gives this cook book to Marion Chamberlain. 15. Horace Sornborger bequeaths his Sheik outfit and Rudolph Valentino drag with the ladies to “Fat” Zar. 45 CADUCEUS 16. To whosoever desires a new excuse for being late, Helen Murphy gives these words: “Methought I heard a voice cry, ‘Sleep, sleep some more’!'' 17. So that “Farmer” Kenney will be able to go to the barber’s once every year, instead of twice, “Mike” Mitchell leaves his barrette. 18. A high hat and a good looking chauffeur have been left by Elizabeth Aitken to Rodney Cook. 19. Louis Martinelli bequeaths his soap box, on which he always delivers his speech, to Mr. A. H. Smith, who also is a well known orator. 20. Edward G. Shea leaves his rubber-soled shoes and a set of Nick Car- ter’s books on “How to Detect” to any who contemplate being another Sherlock Holmes. 21. To Elizabeth Sullivan. Mildred Coven leaves her secret of how to ob- tain a permanent wave, painlessly. 22. Walter Hinkley, whose mellow singing has gained him renown, wish- es to state that John McCormick has asked to be his understudy. 23. To anyone who desires a few silver lined clouds, Alphild Swanson and Stanley Robinson would gladly reach for them. 24. Richard Eng, our most brilliant boy, attributes his brightness to the fact that his mother always called him “Sonny”. 25. A winsome smile and sparkling brown eyes are left by Olga Schiavi- ana to all girls w’ho desire to shatter the masculine peace of mind. 26. To those who blush profusely, but becomingly when asked to recite, Mary Daley leaves her genuine sympathy. 27. Paul Blackmer, who has a great eye for changes, and who has donned his long trousers quietly, and trained his hair to part in the middle, says that many boys have made those steps toward manhood this year. 28. “Dot” O’Malley gives this advice to persons who go to Mr. W. E. Pot- ter : “Always wear your coat; for, when you ask him for money he opens the window and gives you a draft”. 29. We, the class as a whole, can boast that we have Greenfields to hunt Hares on, Kings to Ryde with, Cooks to do the Canning and Daley Wel- comes to the teachers so that they won’t become Moody. 30. All our remaining resources, we leave to the Carlos B. Ellis Scholar- ship Fund. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals at this twelfth day of November, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hun- dred and twenty-five.

CADUCEUS LEST WE FORGET You can’t call the following, written during my three years at Com- merce, a diary, though in some respects it resembles one. But, for the sake of giving it a name let’s call it “Impressions.” I think you will find it suits it better. I hope that my beloved classmates may receive some enjoyment from the reading of it, not so much now, but fifteen, or twenty years from now. When they wish to recall the full, happy, and exhilarating days at Commerce. FRESHMAN YEAR First Day I am now a member of the High School of Commerce and am addressed as “Miss.” It makes me feel so grown up. I know I will enjoy my three years here even if it is hard being a “Freshie” for the first three or four weeks. I’ve found out something though that helps me to keep asking ques- tions of giggling, condescending seniors. When you want to go to a room just walk around in a circle till you get there- Of course it’s really a square. Perfectly simple! And my classmates, I knew some of them before, but there are many new faces and I’m anxious to get acquainted. Now there’s Alice Ward such a drall, funny girl, and Una Hilliker just the opposite, ever busy, en- ergetic and enthusiastic. Oh, I’m perfectly thrilled with them all! Hope I meet some more nice girls tomorrow like Charlotte Menzel who is so earnest you just know she’s bound to be a success. And, Martha Smith another quiet girl, at least she seems to be. I like her too, she believes in making the world a better place by being a friend to it. Well I guess I’d better do my home work it pays to make a good impression at first. FIRST ASSEMBLY I saw Mr. Ellis today for the first time. He’s so tall, and dignified! But he smiles so pleasantly. I rather hope, however I never get sent to the office for misbehavior. I couldn’t bear to have him scold me. He talked about lunchrooms and courtesy I was very much impressed. I met some more girls and boys today. One who reminds me of a foun- tain, bubbling and sparkling all the time with the joy of existence is Gladys Payne. There’s another one, too, Constance St. Onge, with brown sparkling eyes and always a smile. Making friends is the best fun. Everybody meeting some one new every day. In the midst of things they’ve started a campaign for the school paper “Commerce” and they gave us a free sam- ple copy today and it looks good. The Senior Class is going to give us a Freshman Reception. We are to bring our parents and I heard they’re going to give a Pagant called the “Spirit of Commerce” and in it is going to be “Vanity,” “Intergrity,” and others. I just can’t wait. MARKS COME OUT You know you can always tell by the looks of the honor roll who will eventually be class leaders. I bet on Bob Bruce, Florence Powers, Doris Feltham, Una Hilliker, and Doris Connell. I’ll wait and see if I’m right. There were of course a few D’s. I’m not recording my marks. I have a report card and there’s no use in telling the sad story twice. 85 CADUCEUS DOCTOR BARKER SPEAKS I heard the most inspiring: and wonderful speech today. Dr. Barker spoke plainly and emphatically. So plainly and emphatically in fact that many of us took his words to heart and mean to improve ourselves. He told us to develope a Clear Head, Strong Arm, and a Brave Heart. We hope he will come again. He was just like a wonderful tonic for moral laxness. I A SEMESTER Our class has organized under Miss Lynch’s supervision. She’s a peach. She has been a Class Faculty Adviser before and we’ll have the benefit of her experience. We’re to have a I IB Social soon she says: IIB SOCIAL Well, I guess our class officers, who by the way are Robert Bruce, pres- ident; Florence Powers, vice-president; Mildred Price, secretary; Doris Connell, treasurer; and Doris Feltham, auditor, proved that our class is capable of putting forth a pretty good social. We had dancing and other forms of entertainment, including a special dance by Annie Gissin. IIB SOCIAL Again our class has executed a successful social. Our IIA Social was held tonight. We had a May Pole dance. It was absolutely lovely. Our officers now are Florence Powers, president; Una Hilliker, vice-president; Doris Feltham, secretary; Doris Connell, treasurer, and Laura Feron, auditor. In spite of the fact that tickets were scarce there was quite a crowd out. IIIB SEMESTER Now we’re Seniors!!! Dignified? “Seen-yours?” Well, what’s next? We’ve had clubs, and various athletic activities to keep us busy, not to men- tion home work that is sometimes interesting and more often not. ELECTION OF SENIOR OFFICERS We had quite a time electing officers. Being our senior year the prob- lem had to be more seriously considered. The fortunate ones were Flor- ence Powers, president; Andrew Sylvester, vice-president; Doris Feltham, secretary; Doris Connell, treasurer; and Laura Fearon, auditor. IIIB SOCIAL Well the big event has ended. And what a success!!! A minstrel show was the chief entertainment which Una Hilliker supervised. Popular songs were sung. Mildred Price and “Chucky” Higginbotham did a lovely waltz. Kennv did his stuff and strutted very nicely when the chorus sang “Big Boy’’. IN UP OVER OUR HEADS If you were a millionaire you still would not have money enough to meet the demands on your pocket book. Now it’s for “Caduceus’’ then it’s for “Commerce” then it’s for arm bands and in the future it’ll be for the play, “Midsummer Night’s Dream”. It is promising to be a success and few are grumbling about handing over 75c to see it. Our class actors are contrib- uting their talent. Lyndon Durantas the Lion, Una Hilliker as Titania, Alice Ward as Lysander and Bob Bruce as a soldier. COMMERCE PLAYS TECH I'm so hoarse tonight from yelling that I won’t be able to talk for a week. Why we had Tech going this afternoon so that they were singing Commerce songs. 86 CADUCEUS WE’VE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!! — And now it will take us some time to get over it. The boys on the team are being rewarded tonight and will continue to be rewarded for sometime, but they deserve it. They made the Tech Tiger look like a sick cat. The Prom, Class Day, Banquet and Freshman Reception come in for their share of comment. “What are you going to wear for a Prom dress?” “Are you going to get a new suit or hire one?” are the queries. Class Ballots have come out and choosing the prettiest girl seems to be the greatest problem. You see we have so many, many pretty girls in our class. Class Day plans are also well under way. Dan Geary and Una Hilliker are taking the leading parts in a musicl comedy. The music is from “No- No-Nanette” and the “Student Prince”. We possess three excellent orators in our class as shown by our Stoaph- ilos debate this morning. Each year the Stoaphilos have a debate in assembly. Leland Stone, “Husky” Davis and Israel Cohen of our class took part in the debate and showed they knew a little bit about what is contained in the dictionary. Their subject was “Resolved that the school day should consist of seven one-hour-periods, with supervised study and no homework. Good Grief! What more do they want? The affirmative won. The Stoaphilos Alumni have presented the club with a shield, which is to bear the name of the best speaker in each annual debate and who do you think is to have his name first? “Husky” Davis! Nice surprise. By the way Robert Bruce, president of the Stoaphilos Society, accepted the shield with all his dignity. I hate to be a baby, but I’ve got to admit I shed a few salt tears when I realized that I am leaving Commerce. There is “Caduceus” to remind me of it. There was friendly good-byes. And most greatest reminder of all was the filing out slowly from the hall. But I’m not the only one who had a sad expression, my classmates too, were overcome when they realized after all that this was parting and a last good-bye. What we have gained here is unestimatable, we hope however, that we have left something and not taken entirely. SENIOR GRADUATION PLANS STOAPHILOS DEBATE CLASS DAY Diary of Ruth Tourtellotte, From Sept. 7, 1923 to April 8, 1926. 87 CADUCEUS CLASS SONG To the tune of “School Days” Three years ago we first came here, Now it is time to depart; Although we grieve; we know we must leave, For we must do our part. Duty is calling us ever, And we must answer her call; With fond thoughts of you, We'll dare and we’ll do, And happy days here recall. Chorus. Commerce, Commerce Dear old Commerce High School, Wish we could always stay here with you, Teachers and principal we thank you: You were our friends in time of need, And your advice we'll always heed, And to your Commerce High, we’ll ‘eer be true, So Commerce, Dear Commerce, Adieu! Doris J. Connell 88 CADUCEUS PROPHECY While glancing over the paper the other day the following headlines struck us between the eyes. “FIRE SALE” “All kinds of scond-hand trunks, valises, carpet-bags and a large va- riety of different combinations at the retail price.” After recovering our equilibruim we decided to Ford our way to the sale. And as Barnum says, “There is one bom every minute,” we came back with a genuine horse-hair trunk, (at least that is what the auctioneer said). Everything else failing, we finally succeeded in picking the lock with the universal tool, the hairpin, gone but not forgotten. To our amazement upon opening the trunk we beheld a large package tied with a crimson and white ribbon. After several hours of suspense we untied the knot and found that the fruit of our labor was a collection of old newspaper clippings written by a certain Ruth Tourtellotte, taken from the “Charleston Daily Blues.” Translating these clippings was like finding the finishing word for those ancient cross-word puzzles, but we here record what we have read. Una Hilliker, our celebrated soprano of the Kill-Many Opera Company, has gone to China to harvest her voice. The orator with the speech of gold, Lyndon Durant, is taking a tour through Alaska selling one-piece bathing suits to the Eskimos. Charlotte Menzel is making a great success with her kindergarten for runaway boys. Harriet Letellier, the home-maker, is the housekeeper for the wonderful Professor Anas of Yale University. Beatrice Paton and Raymond Chisholm are now at Niagara Falls on their honeymoon. New York welcomes once again the Great Raymond Guertin in the World’s Premier Hulu Dancer in “Shakes and Shivers. Linnea Anderson, the second Florence Nightingale, has just saved the life of David Scott, the noted manufacturer of wigs. Farmer Kenney has finally succeeded in making a School Girl Complex- ion Rouge, guaranteed not to fade. Doris Feltham, Florence Powers, and Morris Learner are all in Arizona. Doris is conducting the well known Feltham's Orphan Asylum for homeless cats. Florence is teaching the cowboys how to drive a Ford in three days. Morris has opened a gelatine factory because of his success in raising mules with a pink eye. Miss Evelyn Hudson, the beauty specialist, is establishing a beauty par- lor in Florida. She expects to make a fortune on her wonderful method of reducing. Ruth Fuller, the world’s champion typist, is now taking a correspondence course in the Pick and Hunt System. The popular song writer, Dot Dake, is the composer of that tear-rend- ing ballad “I Looked Her Up and She Turned Me Down. It is doubtful whether Fanny’s “Eatmore Pancake Shop, under the sup- ervision of Miss Stoddard herself, will prove successful, as her pancake flopper, Leland Stone, and his assistant, Doris Connell, consume most of the output. The expert shorthand writer, John Hourihan, is revising the E. Z. Short- hand book to suit his own purposes. 89 CADUCEUS “The Angel’s Glide,'’ demonstrated by Gabrielle Authier, is the latest fad for the debutantes. Lillian Nordman and Clara Sullivan, otherwise known as the Sweet Sisters, appear in Zeigfeld’s latest, “Short but Snappy”. Ethel Brown, the second Rosa iPonsella, has won her way to fame by her sweet frog-like voice. The latest Paris gowns designed by Dorothea Ellingham will be display- ed by Mildred Price, Frances Graham, and Lila Wilder, the three beautiful mannequins. Bob Bruce after getting his F. 0. B., C. O.D., and B.V.D., degrees is now barber for the Commerce faculty. He has just donated $1,000.00 to- ward a home for insane boilermakers. Eddie Ford, the second Ford in history to ride into fame has just given a non-collapsible machine to Mr. A. H. Smith. Evidently Mr. Smith has changed his mind about Lizzie. The only woman soap box orator in the country, Miss Gladys Payne, is exciting much commotion among the saloon keepers in repeal of the Vol- stead Act. The latest book, “Passion’s Plaything,” written by the popular authoress Martha Smith, is being praised by all the well-known newspapers. The great social worker, Ruth Shaw, is visiting Hollywood. She writes that she has seen Maurice Simoneau, the second Rudolph Valentino, and his leading lady, Jeanne Gosse, and are delighted with their work. Their latest picture “Souls for Satan” is considered a very dramatic piece of art. The Arrow Collar Company has engaged Irving Cohen to pose for their Street Car advertisements. Hope McDonald, leader of the Hopeless Orchestra has the following people in her company, Christine Kelleher plays the egg-beater, Samuel Bernstein the Jew s harp, Antonio Delizia the harmonyless harmonica and Louise DeCarlo the Ford Horn. The others were absent when the roll was called. The Salvation Army took a good collection last night owing to the fact that while Marion Chamberlin sang, Charles Higginbotham passed the hat, and the people were so anxious to leave that they just dropped the first thing that came into their hands. Catherine Lynch is under ground doing business. She is located in a New York subway, selling the World News. The new LaRose ballroom is a decided success as Mr. LaRose teaches the dancing personally. Commerce now has a new coach as Chief Myers has retired as director of athletics, namely, the well-known “Half-pint” White. Phyllis Gaudet and Marion Curtis have established an old man’s home for retired millionaires. Their only trouble is that the men get old too soon. Most of the occupants are about twenty-five years old. Anita Tacy is running an information bureau for the benefit of inquisi- tive females. The latest styles in men’s clothing are demonstrated by Dan Geary, the heart breaker. Jack Davis is now in Congress owing to his convicting speeches on “Post Office regulations. Tommy Bennett, in remembrance of the days of the Commerce nine, now has charge of the house in the fire department. 90 CADUCEUS Thelma Benson the manicure girl says she gets many a tip from holding hands. The gym. teachers of Commerce High, Harriet LaBroad and Mary Hard- wick feel very proud to think they have won the marble championship. The wedding of Gertrude Chelifoux and Ted ‘Pannier is to be June 1. They plan to go to Chicopee on their bridal tour in a buggy. The missionaries, Martha Maloney and Marion Harris are doing fine work among the natives of Czechoslavakia. Harold Wales is the medicine man down at the Figi Islands. Celia Ellis is a fine salesman, selling life insurance on the installment plan, mostly stall. The bellboy, Arthur Hastings, in the Kushnet Hotel, run by Rose Kush- net, S. A. P., is very accurate. He's a great advertiser of Wrigley’s pro- duct. He sure can wiggle it! Society women of the day are employing Mildred Scholb as their interior decorator. Orange curtains are the thing just now. Roxie Wilson states that she owes her lovely blonde hair to the prescrip- tion given her by Professor Rollin Brewer, the cocktail mixer. Ruth Larson is quite proud that she has survived after her latest bald headed cut, which is the fashion just now. Rev. Jules Schenck and wife, who was Glena Rowley, is visiting Harry Neigher, the great cartoonist for Snappy Stories. The Reverend is eligi- ble for the Old Time Fiddler’s Contest. Mrs. Schenck is the president of the Society of Cruelty to Animals. Mary Murphy, the dean of Smith College, is spending her vacation at Avelon-on-the-Hudson. Miss Bernice Nesbitt is working for George Paige, the advertiser of paints. Miss Nesbitt, is a fine advertiser. A farewell party given by Miss Theresa McCaffery for Miss Greta Rosenberg was held last evening. Miss Rosenberg will be the ingenue in the coming attraction “I Kissed the Wrong Girl Too Loud.” The new stenographer for Leonard Meisner, the successful paste manu- facturer, is Mary Sherman. She is very efficient. Ruth Selzam has discovered a new curling liquid, quaranteed to make the straightest hair curl over night. It is only practical for bald headed people. A new telephone operator who does not say “excuse it please” after mak- ing you wait an hour for a number, is Ruth Phelan. She doesn’t have time, as Andrew Sylvester has a new Ford. (Use your imagination). Jeanette Raymond and Mildred Priest, the well known dancers, will teach “the librarian stride” in five lessons. A day nursery is run by Constance St. Onge and Dot Pease. The child- ren are well taken care of, they have pickles and ice cream every day. Owing to the fact, that such undigestible English was used in these clip- pings, it took us a week to translate this. However, Ruth Tourtellot- te is the reporter. For any additions or corrections, go to her. As we have taken out insurance policies we will leave a considerable sum to our beneficiaries in case of a misunderstanding. (We like forget-me- nots and white carnations.) Signed: Alice E. Ward Laura G. Fearon 91 CADUCEUS PROPHECY ON THE PROPHET Years have passed since the class of June, 1926, graduated from the High School of Commerce. And those years—what changes they have seen! The heart of man grows sore within him at the thought. But relief may be in sight—man-kind has a champion. The change began when we were but children, slow and gradual at first. Men used to jest about it—ah, if they had but known! Ever more serious grew the condition. Gone was the jest, instead, men’s hearts grew cold at the thought of the future; but their atrophying wills were powerless to change the course of events. Unable to do what they wished, men wandered uneasily through the world, ever striving to find some haven of peace. Alas, in every clime the awful change was before them. Naught, naught was left. In every office, in every position were women—the new women, hard, brutal, dominating. Where are the clinging vines of yesteryear? Men were but as mere vassals; their work was that most degrading of to the male heart—housework. But a little group of men, among them I, resolved not to succumb— sooner death than dishonor. So the little band struggled against cruel fate. Gradually our numbers grew smaller; death and women were taking their toll. My last comrade left me when offered work as a housemaid, for board, room, and spending money. Then came the winter, and I wandered one night through the streets of a great city. Ever and anon, at a pause to rest, a policewoman would harsh- ly bid me move on. So, shivering onward, I came to great hall, with warm light streaming from the windows. Desperately I stole in a small door. Luckily, all attention was focused on a platform in the front. As I cowered behind a post, my attention was drawn to the speaker, a resolute, intelligent looking woman. To my horror, she was advocating additional restraints of men. My heart sunk within me. Then arose the next speaker, a tall woman, who spoke with soft drawl. Joy filled me at her words, for she was opposing the first speaker. She drew her speech to a close with this sentence, “Now, I jus’ wanna tell ya that we owe a lot to men. They usta do quite a lot for us, an’ I don’t think we’re treating ’em right.” There seemed to be something familiar about her, something friendly. I had a mad resolve to throw myself on her mercy. As the hall emptied, I pushed slowly through the crowd of women, with many shoves and harsh words from them. At last I was near the speaker, and going up to her, I tried to stammer out some words. She turned and recognizing me, burst out with a “Gee Whiz, look who’s here.” I am now a gardener and janitor—blessed man's work—for Miss Alice Ward. She is running for President on a stron Men's Suffrage nlatform. Opposed to her is Miss Laura Fearon, leader of the strictly Feminist ps rty. Their debates are stirring up the entire country: there is still hope for men. Lelani Stone 92 CADUCEUS FAVORITE SAYINGS OF THE FACULTY Miss H. M.

ROBERT M. BRUCE, Attorney Springfield, Massachusetts. CADUCEUS WILL FOR THE WILLER The past is dead and can only live in memory so the Wilier dies when he leaves Commerce, because his life there will be past, and his sad and joyful hours only memories. If when the Wilier leaves he must die to Commerce why not be as gracious in offering his possessions as he was in offering ours. Isn’t it only right and just that he should be treated as he treats? Lawyers make laws, and lawyers work around them, so let us not trust such a delicate matter to their agency or their form, but constructs a form that may be added to suit the fancy. Probably one that may be misinter- preted if it suits the heirs. The first possession of the Wilier that we stumble over is his connecting link, that poise and air of self-delight that connects his inner self with our atmosohere, the air that sometimes warms and sometimes chills. This air the Wilier leaves to our science teachers to analyze either by process of psychology or other methods that they may prescribe. It is suggested that a formula indicating the nature of the compound might prove of value to those who would they could analyze air. As far as the Willer's poise is concerned there is no secret for it depends upon the air it builds from. The Wilier leaves his favorite book “I Ought To Know,” by Iva Brain, to the one who thinks he knows because he thinks, Mr. Melville. When the Wilier sighs and thinks pluck not luck, he leaves his greatest profit as an enterpriser at Commerce. He leaves to you what you will find when you awake from your dreams of fancy. To Coach Myers the Wilier leaves his ability to do two things at the same time, namely to drive with one hand and to use the other to the advantage. The Wilier leaves all else he has to the first comers in fact he leaves him- self in June when he departs from Commerce. If you agree that the Will is just and right, you are right. If you agree that it is too just and wrong, you are right. If you agree to disagree you are right for if the Will of the Wilier fails to please you it has failed in its purpose and it is wrong.

Not only did they win the gridiron crown, but they added prestige to their victories by setting up record-breaking scores. The Crimson eleven undoubtedly had the greatest season in the history of the school. The team started the schedule auspiciously by defeating the much-touted champions of the Berkshire League, Drury, 12 to 6. Then followed a decisive triumph over Holyoke High on the latter’s field, 12 to 0. A defeat by the heavy Mass. Aggie Two-year team and another at the hands of Greenfield marred an otherwise successful season. 123 CADUCEUS Then, with “Farmer” Kenney, came the clash when the Crimson machine came into its own. Amid a driving snowstorm the Commerce team out- generaled and out-scored a fighting Central team, 26 to 0. The climax of the season was, of course, the Tech game. The Orange and Black had but few men who had not been in at least one interschool game. This Tech team fought with the usual Tech spirit, but it required more than spirit to beat the Crimson jerseyed eleven which scored three touch- downs and might have scored more were it necessary to have more to win the game. Another signal honor for the school was in the selection of the “Union’s” All-City Team. Ten Commerce men were placed on this mythical eleven, a record long to be remembered. Much credit for the successful season must be given to Head Coach “Chief” Myers. Although he has only been mentor for the Commerce teams for two years he has accomplished what other coaches had tried in vain to do for five years. SEASON OF 1925. Commerce 26.... Commerce 13....

He did this and by the time of the first tryouts the longer runs seemed to be the newcomer’s forte. a schoolboy star was noted by the fact that Ford established two records in the Eastern Interscholastic Meet spon- sored by Springfield College at which nearly a score of teams from Western Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and New York competed. It was in this meet that Ford won the mile by a half a lap in 4. 43 3-10 seconds. Scar- cely 30 minutes later handily won the 880-yard run in 2 minutes 9 2-5 seconds. In every dual meet that spring the Commerce lad won the mile and half, and against Central and Tech placed second in the pole vault. During the 1925 indoor season he placed second in the 1000-yard open at the Armory meet. He was also a mem- ber of the winning Crimson relay team at the Weaver high school track meet held at Hartford, Conn. Last Spring Captain Ford started the season by lowering the Worcester Poyl- technie interscholastic record by five seconds, setting the mark at 4 minutes 39 1-5 seconds, with such schools as Brookline and Brockton in competition. The class of June 1925 can claim as one of its members, probably one of the best, if not the best, track athlete ever to attend the High School of Commerce in the person of Edward Ford. Ford is holder of four inter- scholastic records in the mile and half mile runs. That Coach Melville had developed EDDIE FORD Following this he captured the distance events in the Tech and Holyoke dual and the Williston-Central triangular meets. He concluded his career on the cinders for Commerce by shattering the Brattleboro interscholastic mile mark against the best that Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont could offer. His mark there is 4 minutes, 40 seconds. His enviable record is one which the school is proud and one which has not for a long time been equalled, if ever, and one which will probably stand for some years to come. 125 CADUCEUS BASEBALL “Chief’' E.

Potter as coaches, the 1925 baseball team finished the season with the creditable showing of seven games on the victory side and six losses. The spirit displayed by the players, the use of “inside baseball”, and the high class performances of Wilson and Goldberg on the mound, reflected the influence and leadership of the two coaches. The first two games resulted in defeats, yet both opponents were beaten at the hands of the Crimson later in the season. In the first interschool game Tech, which was featured by a home run by “Red” Greenberg in the first half of the third frame. Commerce defeated the Orange and Black, 2 to 1. Central was next taken into camp when the Crimson team, in another hotly contested game, defeated them 5 to 4. During the second round of the interschool games, Tech showed a com- plete reversal of form and trimmed Commerce 6 to 2. Again Greenberg came into prominence when he socked another homer over the fence at League Park. “Red” is the only Springfield high school player to turn this trick twice. Commerce again defeated Central by a 9 to 1 score, and rounded out the rest of the schedule by being beaten by Deerfield, Brattleboro and Mon- son, and by defeating Wilbraham and Westfield, administering a beat- ing to the latter for an early season defeat.

H. B. Myers—Coach Jack Greenberg—Captain THE TEAM Forwards Leland Stone—Manager Ray Monahan Center Lincoln Squier Guards Herman White William Newtcn Utility Men Jack Greenberg William Sholes Hyman Rosnick Harley Shastany The High School of Commerce basketball team of 1925 had one of the most successful seasons winning twelve out of fourteen games and tying Tech for the interschool championship. After a one-sided victory over Bay Path, the Commerce five invaded the Nutmeg State and were defeated in a close battle, 15 to 14. The loss seemed to stimulate the Crimson clad lads for they captured three games in a row, Monson, Bay Path and Worcester Commerce, by top-heavy scores. 127 CADUCEUS One of the sweetest of victories was the Ware game. The so-called “Wondertowners” had a string of 29 straight wins and were all set for the thirtieth when along came the Myersmen to win in a fast, thrilling battle, 28 to 22. The first interschool game on the Central surface against the Blue and White ended 34 to 38 in our favor and before the first Tech clash the Com- merce five had whipped the Evening High and Alumni aggregations. • The initial Tech tilt was a heart-breaker. The Crimson had the edge all the way. With seven minutes to go, leading 27 to 20, the Crimson-hued sun of victory faded and became Orange. The fighting Tech spirit of nev- er-say-die displayed itself, swept opposition aside, scored ten points and a victory. The final score was 30 to 27. The second Tech clash ended differently. The Commerce team, through the splendid efforts of “Red” Greenberg who inspired his mates, and the basket caging of Shastany, won 32 to 28. The second Central encounter resulted in an easy win for the Crimson while Cathedral furnished splendid opposition on their home floor for the first half but failed to keep up their end of the scoring during the last half. One of the sweetest victories was the last game of the season when Hol- yoke visited Commerce’s home surface and went down to defeat 36 to 26 at the hands of a revamped Crimson quintet. Captain Greenberg, “Chick” Rosnick and Billy Newton being unable to play. The Crimson team had four men of all-city calibre in Captain “Red” Greenberg. “Ray” Monahan, “Hermy” White, and “Link” Squier. A great deal of credit is due “Chief” Myers for the successful season. Only one of the teams which he has coached has failed to either win or tie for the city championship. THE RESULTS OF THE SEASON Commerce 48 ...... South Manchester 15 Commerce 27.......
