When we consider our advantages during this period, in a school of modern equipment, with its library, club room, cafeteria, assembly, and fine classrooms, we wonder how- startling this change and progress in modern education would lx to our American ancestors, if they could see our 1 ligh School of Commerce as it is today and compare it with their country schools. As other writers have recorded the events and progress of nations, and as other more humble historians have shown the history and growth of the school and classes, we have attempted here to record the history of the class most important to us, that of 1927. In February, 1924, a great many tribes of savages immigrated to Commerce. These were the Chestnuts, Centrals. Forest Parkers, and Buckinghams. Their manners were crude, their knowledge of civilized life was rudimentary. It was noted that their tribal color was green. They bore with a stoical fortitude the horrible tortures they felt were due them. To them the first month was a “Century of Exploration.” They were forever getting lost in the forest of corridors, and exploring the north, south, east, and west of this great building. Some of the more highly civilized people often had to help them, although when it came to finding the lunchroom, this was always un- necessary. Then, to their surprise, the Lord Seniors, who are among the old st settlers, gave them a reception. The Savages were more excited than ever, often breaking into “unrestrained and uncontrollable ecstasies.” They were instructed by a speech from the Chief leader. Mr. Ellis, and entertained by a play given by the Lord Seniors. Soon afterwards there was a struggle for championship in the Girls’ Gym Meet. Mow the squad practiced for this contest! The final night they marched up and down in front of the judges with high hopes. They waited impatiently for the decision, hoping that they might lx the winners, but the more highly civilized IIA’s received the cup. They were beginning to wonder if they would ever be as skilled and cultured as those people that gave them the reception. Then came vacation time and report cards. They could not be dignified and thoughtful at this time, for they were wild with joy to become I A’s. Having passed the uncivilized jx‘ri xl of their history, they became colonists settled in Commerce to do their work in developing character and obtaining knowledge. As they were emerging from the dark ages in December of 1921 they formed an organization w ith Mrs. Marion II. Davis as Prime Minister. They elected as their leaders: President—Pauline Lange Treasurer—Bae Goodman Vice-President—Angelo Caras Secretary—Sally O’Brien Auditor—Dora Golden The colonists soon advanced to “The Critical Period” of their history, the Sophomore stage. During this semester the young maidens again struggled in vain to win the cup at the Gym Contest, but were defeated by the IIA’s. Then they were working on a new scheme, the first in their social progress, the 11B Social. 'I liis was their introduction into the life of the outer colonies, so they wished to lx successful. They trimmed the girls’ gymnasium with a shower of colored streamers. The gathering neighbors were entertained by some of the young girls of the colony, who gave a ukelele selection. These were Fannie Bernson, Olive NVetherell, and Lycillc Whiting. After this entertainment, all danced a short time, everyone left feeling that it was a great triumph. 31 C D U C E U S f CLASS HISTORY (Continued) It was evident that the colonists were developing in scholarship, as Hoy Dykstra received the gold History Medal. The colonists were still in “The Critical Period.” When they came back to Commerce after a long summer’s vacation, they were already for hard work. This year, together with the IIB’s, they were to put on the Christmas Assembly and entertain the members of the Old Ladies’ Home, according to the custom of the past years. This time they gave a phantasy in which a number took part. Matilda Schimmel gave a 'Little Boy Blue” dance,' Melvin Woodlock was Santa Claus” and was assisted by four fairies, two of which were Rachel Ouellette and Mary Barsam from our colony. This year they also gave a social in December. The colonists used the same hall as before, but tin trimmings were red and green with holly sprays. They were entertained at the social by some of the talented members of the colony. Rac Goodman played a piano solo, and Ruth Jocelyn gave a vocal selection. It was at this time that a great athletic battle took place, when our football team won the city championship, the first in the history of Commerce. A few of the men of this colony fought in the battle, and the colonists were certainly proud of them. They were Jack Bed” Greenberg, William Billy” Newton, and George Stanford. Another victory was won when Frances Bryant obtained the History Medal and Frances Bobinson received honorable mention. Again it was time for election and this year the officers were: President—Donald Lane Treasurer—Hae Goodman Vice-President—Gladys Christopher Secretary—Madelene Ehrlich Auditor—Dora Golden Now we had reached the “Modern Period” of our history, our Senior year. One event was our IIIB Social. For this we kept the same hall and trimmed it with a rose-covered trellis in pink and white. We were entertained by a “Bell Boy” Dance given by Florence Book. Olive Wet he roll. Fannie Bemson and Matilda Schimmel. This was another successful event. The Seniors in their last half year had much to accomplish, the first of which was the Freshman Reception, to welcome a new tribe of settlers. This time the senior classes combined and gave the reception. This was held October 19. 1926. There was a large attendance of both freshmen and parents, the former were only too anxious to show their parents the place where they had decided to settle. A short speech of welcome was given by Donald Lane, the president, after which tlie Girls’ Glee Club gave two selections, followed by a number from the Boys’ (ilee Club. Miss Faith Walker sang. Mr. Herbert Knglemen did a balancing and parallel l ar act. after which there was music by the orchestra. Our dramatic ability was shown in a play “Kitty’s Decision,” in which Olive Wetherell took the part of Kitty Clipper; Lillian Gluskin of Mrs. Faston; and Louise Lettelier. Dora, her daughter. After this play Mr. Ellis, gave a short talk. At this reception there was the largest attendance that ever was known for a Freshman Reception. Now that we are approaching the end of our high school life, we are to close our historical career with a “Declaration of Independence” to be signed on Grad- uation Day when we must each take our independent positions in life. In leaving Commerce these citizens feel that they have learned much and have given little, but they will never forget these days and will always strive to live up to the motto, “Integrity and Industry.” Eunice A. Willislon. - ■ 32 C A D U C E U S Prophecy of the Class of January, 1927 At last I was actually on the train, whizzing rapidly on my way to the first stop on my trans-continental trip. In reality I saw a confused blur of trees, green grass, and houses, but mentally I was seeing quite another picture. It was my last hurried rush for the train. I have been employed since my graduation from Commerce as a private sec- retary for the firm of Lepovetsky and Levine, contractors, and now, after five years of hard work, felt that I have earned a long vacation, so at last I started on a journey, accompanied by Pauline Askinas. a former classmate. My taxi had not arrived, so I had started on foot for the train, but after walking a few steps, a familiar voice hailed me. It was Leonel Martel in his Ford. “Jump in.” he said, “and I'll see that you get there in time.” But, alas, after about five minutes, the motor stopped. Inconel got out and began systematically to take the engine apart as I have seen him do so many times before. Naturally I was a bit nervous, but in a marvelously short time, he had it reassembled, with only five parts left over. These he put in the back of the Ford, and we reached the station just in time for me to grasp the hand rail of the last car as it pulled out of the station. I dropped breathlessly into a seat, scarcely noticing the other occupant, a tall, silk-hatted individual with a professional air. Somehow this dignified person looked familiar. He deigned to notice me and then we mutually recognized each other. Yes. it was Paul Rattier, and he told me that he was now the head surgeon in the Bellevue Hospital. He informed me that Ethel Howcrouft was his head nurse. The time passed so quickly listening to his interesting conversation, that it seemed hardly a minute before the brakeman called out. “Hartford!” I glanced at the incoming passengers, among whom was a girl with exquisitely marcelled hair. Upon seeing me and the famous Dr. Rattler, she bowed, and I recognized Lillian Calberg. She joined us and related how she had made a fortune with her new recipe for liquid which makes the straightest hair curl over night. It is best for bald-headed people. But that was not all of her news. That morning she had re- ceived a letter from Frances Bryant, who after Commerce days had become a curator in the Museum of Natural History. Imagine Lillian's surprise on reading the post mark. Fiji Islands.” After staring at the post mark for several minutes, she opened the letter and read that the reason for Frances’ presence in those wild regions was to try to discover the missing link. After an incredibly short time we reached New York City. I signalled for a taxi, and to my surprise Ellsworth Waldron was the driver. I told him to take me to the Roosevelt Hotel. Again I was astonished by seeing Donald Lane as manager of the hotel. His experience in managing class affairs must have been valuable, as he was most successful. As I entered the dining-room that evening. I noticed a very impressive and handsome head-waiter whom I immediately recognized as one of my former classmates, Charles Rose. In the course of my conversation with these boys I learned that many of my friends were in New York City. That evening we decided to go to the Metropolitan 0| era House. My chief object in going was to hear Dorothy Dominy. soprano, and Ethel Edwards, con- tralto. singing in the three main scenes of that evening’s production. The orchestra was conducted by Melvin Woodlock. Aune Reigonen was one of the leading vio- linists. As we came out of the Opera House and walked along Broadway, my attention was suddenly attracted to the following news bulletin on tin Times Building, “Jack ‘Red Greenberg, wellknown athelete sails for Europe to compete in the Olympic games.” After winning many records at Commerce, “Red” had special- ized in athletics. 33 C A I) I C K I S V R 5 — —= f PROPHEC Y (Continued) The next day we decided to visit the Metropolitan Art Museum. There we found an exhibition of modern paintings by artists of recent prominence. One of these paintings had been done by Craig BaiUieul. our class artist. From New York we took the Hudson River Day Line boat to Albany. As I approached the ticket office. I found that Harold Fisher was acting as the ticket agent. After we had found our places on the boat. I immediately recognized in the sedate and dignified captain, our “Benny Landry. He was entertaining a group of girls with his interesting conversation. He had with him George Stanford, as first mate. As George shouted his orders to the crew. I noted that his fine voice had not deserted him. As we proceeded up the Hudson. Captain Landry | ninted out many wonderful estates. This reminded him that Margerita Granados had recently inherited five silver mines in her native land. Colombia, and had purchased the most beautiful of these Hudson estates. She had immediately gathered together many of the January. 1927, class whom she employed. Kuniee Williston was her companion and secretary, Marion McConville her personal maid. I was glad to hear that these girls were still to- gether. Upon landing in Albany we went to the State House and found that Roy Dykstra was the successful Mayor of the city. From his lofty height, he still found time to chat with us. We left the State House and walked down Main Street. As we passed the “People’s Book Shop, my curiosity was aroused as to the reason for the com- motion in the shop. 'Phis same curiosity prompted us to investigate and we learned that a new book was just out. The high school students were fighting madly for a copy. 'Phis book was. “How to Excel in Studies. written by Stewart Neal and Stanley Newton, famous authorities on this subject. Sunday we w ent to church, and heard Lawrence Connaughton preach a sermon on “The Coming Generation.” He seemed to Ik much distressed by youthful frivolity. These sermons were making him very famous. That afternoon we left for Niagara Falls and arrived there that night. The next morning we took a trip on the “Maid of the Mist. Our guides proved to be Harold Moran and Samuel Goldberg who told us that during the day there was to be a great athletic stunt. Merrill Mason and Leo Backus were going over the Falls in a barrel. I didn’t dare to stay and see this thrilling event. My next stop was in Chicago where I went to the “Silver Slipper Ballroom” and discovered that Thelbert Schnare was the prompter. He was willing to give dancing lessons to anyone who cared to learn, provided he was paid fifty dollars a lesson. 'Pile next afternoon w’e went on a shopping tour. In Marshall Field’s store, in the French Room, we found Rachel Ouellette, Sylvia Figoni. and Mildred Lopardo, acting as the three lieautiful mannequins. Grace Farnsworth was now the head of the dress, suit, and coat departments. She had Esther Gordon, Verna Durkee and Esta Eisner in her employ as assistants. After talking with Grace. 1 learned that Madelene Ehrlich and Charlotte Ertel were designing French gowns for a very exclusive shop in Chicago. As we were walking along Lakeside Avenue. I heard someone laughing heartily. Turning around. I saw that it was Mary Foley and Helen Galvin, not changed a bit. We talked and laughed for about a half hour. I learned that they were running a dancing school for all bashful l oys. Among their instructors were Fannie Bernson, Matilda Schimmel, Florence Book, and Olive Wetherell. Olive was teaching the “Angel’s Glide,” the latest debutante walk. ill C. D U C E II S !C(5V5= PROPHECY (Continued) I mSr That evening we decided to take the next step in our transcontinental tour. Our first stopping place was the Yellowstone National Park. In the many luncheon places. I found some of my classmates employed as guides and waitresses. Among the waitresses were Irene Meunier and Florence LaBine, and Helen Winters. Abraham kasofsky and William Saxon were two of the many guides. I got there just as Abraham was helping a 250 pound lady over some r xks. My next stop was in Los Angeles. Somehow, as I read the Daily Times, the leading newspaper, the style of tin editorials seemed familiar. Later I found out that Ethel Hynes was the editor of this most interesting paper. One item in the paper said that David Ziter was giving a series of lectures l eforc the Parent- Teachers’ Association of “How to Attend School Regularly.” We then took a sight-seeing bus and passed a huge building crowded with children. Of course we thought it was a school, but the guide said that it was an orphan’s asylum managed by Lillian Plunders, who had become so accustomed to her part in the senior play that she had established this home. As we passed one of the exclusive bathing beaches, I noticed a sign that said. “Bathing Beauty to Ik Chosen Tonight!’’ We decided to go. and who do you suppose was chosen? Margaret Negosnick the winner of many such titles. As a prize Margaret was given a trip to Europe. I understand that she must have left many regretful admirers on these shores. The next day we started for San Francisco. We slop|M d in Hollywood where I saw many of my classmates. Lincoln Squier was directing moving pictures. He had Cecille B. DeMille as an understudy. His leading man was Bernard Holian. while “Billy” Newton and Bussell Peterson were featured as his athletic stars. We stayed to see one scene worked out. Our fair Josephine Szymczak was the heroine. Gladys Christopher was the wicked but alluring vamp, while Josephine Zeidman and Myrtle Christensen were in tin parts of bathing beauties. Catherine Foley and Harriet LuBroud were conducting a very popular gymnasium class. Their graduates did stunts in the movies under the direction of Lincoln Squier. Then we completed our trip to San Francisco. It was here that I heard that Irving Clark was posing for the Arrow Collar Company for their street-car and hill-lM ard advertisements. Ada Bighi was now the District-Attorney in the San Francisco Court. I re- membered Ada’s success in the law class in Commerce. She told me. during our telephone conversation, that Helen Aldrich was the Professor of Economics in the University of California. The next day we decided to go to Chinatown on the sight-seeing bus. As we drew up to a very dark and mysterious looking building. I noticed two policemen standing in the shadows of a long flight of stairs. Who do you suppose these two policemen were? Bamoth Bees and George Joseph. They said that they had been having a hard time to subdue the many riots in the recent Tong War. Hyman Smith was the guide who occupied the front seat on the bus and gave us a description of the inside of the various gloomy buildings in Chinatown. I never realized before that he could talk so much. After a very pleasant trip we returned to San Francisco. As I stepped out of the bus, a woman very smartly dressed came up and spoke to me. I did not rec- ognize her at first, but when she smiled. I remembered her as one of my Commerce friends, Catherine Carney. She was married and living in San Francisco, applying her hard-earned knowledge of home-making to her family. She was out on a shop- ping expedition, so 1 suggested that we go to a tea shop and talk over our school days. There we found two of our Commerce friends. Pauline Lang and Beatrice St. Germain. They were getting wealthy rapidly. They had as a next door neighbor, Helen Buckley, who was running a gift shop. 35 CADUCEUS SSW= = •5 PROPHECY (Continued) After spending a long time in touring the west, we decided to return to Wash- ington by airplane. This was a very new experience and also very exciting. Our brave pilot was Carl Wood, as calm at 1.000 feet in the air as he was in Commerce. When we reached Washington, we went to visit one of the I nited States Govern- ment Offices and there I found Marion Creed as one of the head accountants. Mildred Young was also there as a typist, turning out perfect copies every time. Dorothy Gatalee and Sally O’Brien had established a relief mission for the jx'ople of the Far Fast. They have always had tendencies for missionary work. The next morning wc secured a permit to visit the Supreme Court. W e listened entranced to the arguments of a young attorney. It was none other than Mary karoghlanian. W hen she was taking law at Commerce she always did like to prove various cases. Now her desire had been fulfilled. Maurice Bushev. Elizabeth Budrunas and Signe Nelson were the court reporters, and they still were having many difficulties in reading their notes. The next day we went to Philadelphia. Our first stop there was at the Capitol Theatre where we saw Dorothy Macia and Theresa McCaffery in a very entertain- ing vaudeville act. Theresa was singing a solo in her bird-like voice, and Dorothy was playing her violin which had seen many days in the Commerce Orchestra. That night I left on tin Federal Express train for New York City, and as I was speeding along at sixty miles an hour I thought about the wonderful trip 1 had had. which had been made especially interesting by seeing so many of my former classmates. Lumina Bowman Archibald Prophecy on the Prophet March 7,1934. 10.30 A. M. At last 1 am back in good old New York. My. how good it seems! Everything is familiar, places and faces. Tonight I am having dinner at the Commodore Hotel with three old classmates. It is a great relief to be in a city where you see people whom you recognize and not faces that are all new. Commodore Hotel. 6.30 P. M. Donald Lane, who. as you all know, is manager of the hotel, had us ushered to a nice table well screened by palms. The dinner that was served was the most delicious meal that any one of us had ever eaten in our long lives. It was a well balanced.tempting meal that no one could resist, even if on a diet. It was so good that we demanded the waiter to take us to the head chef so that we could compliment him. The waiter smiled, but we could not understand why. He led us past the tables until we came to the kitchen which was a large, well lighted, bright room with some dozen assistant cooks. We were given seats and told that the head chef would be right out. After a short time the door opened and there stood “Archie,” our well loved “Queen of the Lunch Room. “Oh!” was the general gasp that came from us. Then followed a peri xl of rapid chattering which really amounted to nothing. When we really l egan to talk sensibly, we learned that after leaving Com- merce she had traveled extensively in the I nited Stab's, meeting many of her old school chums. After returning to New York she chose as her career the work of a dietitian. Her first opportunity to climb upward to success was given to her by Donald Lane. 'Phis was a position in the kitchen of the hotel as one of the many assistant cooks. Owing to her efficiency, which no doubt was partly due to her previous training at the High School of Commerce, the manager s x n took notice of her exceptional work. When the otherhead chef left, the position was given to her. Now, the name. Lumina Archibald, is well known throughout New York, for every large hotel and hospital either copies her menus or seeks her valuable opinion on culinary problems.

INTRODUCTION A high school education having become almost a requisite for success in our present form of civilization and cultured advancement, it becomes necessary for us to compile a record of our accomplishments and aims that our successors may lx guided aright. To accomplish this purpose this history will endeavor to give a brief and comprehensive outline of the various activities of typical American high-school class—the class of June 1927 of the High School of Commerce. We have been greatly assisted during our three years at Commerce by numerous meml crs of the ciass of ’27 who have contributed to its history; to Mr. Ellis, for his splendid leadership; to the faculty; to the classes of 1926 and January. 1927 respectively for their co-operation; and to every individual Commercite who has helped us toward our goal. To the above mentioned we extend our deepest grati- tude. Chapter 1 As Jack sat in the High School of Commerce assembly, the particular Septem- ber day in 1921. that was hailed by him and his classmates, as by his predecessors, as “the First Day. his thoughts ran something like this: Hm. the first day. Wonder if I’m going to like it? Seems funny! They say this is the girls’ school, but I can’t see it. Plenty of fellows here! Wonder if my career here will please the family? Oh, well, one way or another, it’s all the same. It’s their fault that I’m to be the first one in the family to break into the expert stenography business. “Sav. now, who’s that tall gentleman? Now that’s what I call a real man. Sa . Bill, Who is hr? Rill—“Why, that's Carlos R. Ellis, Jack. That’s our principal. To which Jack replied, I’d like to know him. Rill, really know him. I don’t suppose I’ll lx able to. though. There’s so many here, I don’t suppose—” “Sh—Jack, he’s telling us about our home rooms and our programs.” Thus lx gan Jack’s first day. When finally he dragged his weary Ixxly to bed that night, he admitted his satisfaction in his family’s choice of a school, but was thoroughly confused. Would he over get used to Ixung called Mr. Marsh, and climbing from the first to the third floors every other period, and rushing down to a crowded, noisy lunch room, only to find the whole class of seniors ahead of him? He soon adapted himself and with the help of Time, the magic-maker, his greenish hue. proverbial to freshmen, was hardly discernible on the night of the Freshmen Reception, his reception given by the Senior Class. Close upon this momentous event in our young friend’s life, came the first report card. Ah. day of days! Need we mention the results? Without doubt, some things are better left unsaid. Six of these red-letter days (in more ways than one) came and passed on, and almost without realizing it, Jack found himself a soph- omore one February day. eagerly directing a newly arrived Freshy” to go up three flights and down four, to get to the lunch room. Next in order came the organization of his class, and once again Jack sat in the assembly hall while his thoughts ran thus: “A gym teacher for an adviser! I never heard of that idea IxTore. but I bet I’m going to like Marguerite Geary! It’s a pretty name all right. This is a fine looking class, if I do say so. Why, they carry on this meeting like professionals. What’s this? Voting for officers? Let’s see who’ll get my vote.” As a result of this election, Sperry Morway was elected president of the IA class; Theresa Goodliss. vice-president; Dorothy Wilmot, secretary ; and Dorothy Eginton, treasurer. c i) i c i-; i s ...... -i f THREE YEARS RE FORE THE EM) {Continued) Thus progressed the second semester until May when, at the annual Girls’ Gym Meet, the I Vs took third place, much to their chagrin. Jack left school in June with a feeling that, somehow, lie had gained more than “book learning.” With the help of his new friends, both faculty and students, lie had gained an intense school spirit, new ideals, and a definite goal in life. More than that, he had learned to know and understand his school motto: Industry and Integrity. Ciiaptkr II Returning in September, enthusiastic over his vacation hut eager to ! egin again, almost the first word that greeted Jack was football. Football, football,— he heard and thought nothing else. A game with Holyoke, a game with Tech., a game with Central! defeat here, a victory there! The hope of winning, the despair of losing! In the midst of this, came the first social of the Class of '27. In defiance of witches, goblins, and spirits, they held a gay affair on Friday. No- vember 13. Huge black cats and orange 13’s were the features of the decoration, with orange and white streamers stretched from one side of the gym to the other. Florence Graham, known as “Our Florence, the class dancer, entertained with a toe dance. Hardly had the decorations been taken down when our I IB's joined the rest of Commerce in wild rejoicing, for Commerce had won the city championship in football! The first time in the school’s history! Such heroes were the boys on the team and such praise was given to “Chief Myers for his excellent coaching and leadership! During this semester, also. Faith Bull's journalistic ability was rewarded when she was made Kditor-in-Chief of “Commerce,” a position she held for one year. But true happiness comes in giving others happiness as well as one's self, so, following the established custom. Jack's class combined with the IIA's and pre- sented a Christ mas assembly for a number of guests from the Old Ladies' Home. It was at this entertainment that Jack decided that his class had something more than its share of talent. Among those who entertained were Florence Graham. Susanna McCurry. Lillian Orbach, Susie Hunter. Gertrude Dean, Doris Holland. Hazel Jones, Rachael Bousquet and Eleanor Moxom. Class officers were again elected with the following results: Carl Storey, president; Dorothy Wilmot, vice-president; Florence Graham, secretary; Esther Linnehan. treasurer. The election was another novel event for Jack who had never before had the opportunity of voting at a real polling place, lie stifled his envy of the Civic pupils who were acting as checkers, counters, and guides, by vowing that when he was a 111B. he'd do the same. The second social of tin class held on Friday. .May 15. was a pronounced suc- cess. being hailed as one. of the most successful ever held in Commerce. Novel decorations, entertainment provided by Florence Graham and Rhea Martin, prize dances, and good refreshments combined to bring about this result. The annual Gym Meet gave the IIA’s another chance to prove their worth which they did w ith alacrity by winning the silver loving cup offered as first prize. Eleanor Broadhurst. too, brought honor to the class during that semester when she was elected affiliated president of the Nisimaha Girl Reserves. As the days went by. as report cards brought joy or sorrow, according to the predominant color of the letters, and as vacation drew near again. Jack realized that his choice had l een wise, for here one not only received a sound business training, but also learned how to live, and how to be a good citizen. Chapter III “An assistant faculty adviser” was the news being passed around when Jack returned to school, a IIIB. Upon investigation, he learned that Miss Mary Nelligan, a newlv-arrived teacher in the Tvpewriting Department was to assist I Ji 78 C A D I C E I! S . : -;-r .. - ■ --- i THREE YEARS BEFORE THE END (Continued) Miss Geary in managing the affairs of the (-lass of '27. Jack mack no comment at first, but after one week of a IMB program lie declared that “the faculty adviser certainly needed more than one assistant if her days were half as crowded as his. However, the majority struggled through and not a few won honor for themselves, and their class. The history medal given by the Sons of the American Revolution to that student who excels in American History was awarded to Iris Auld. while Lloyd Mason received honorable mention. An unusually large class of Babes in the Woods having entered Commerce in September 192( . tin 11 IB’s, co-operating with the 111 Vs. started plans for their welcome, which resulted in the semi-annual Freshman Reception. play, “Kitty’sDecision.”was given with such success that it was repeated in assembly. Eleanor Macdonald. Florence Miner and Faith Bull represented our class in this sketch. Jack remarked afterward that he wouldn't mind taking some Freshy's place and going all through it again. “For. lie said.” when I think that next semester will see me leaving Commerce with its dandy clubs, socials and all-around good times, and all the friends I've made, I rebel and refuse to consider it. The 11 IB social, a football dance, was another triumph in decorations and novelties. True to its reputation of being “different the IIIB’s conducted a most successful dance with Florence Graham, Rhea Martin. Doris Cohen, and Rhea Martens entertaining. A huge crimson and white Commerce banner, seen for the first time, was placed in the gym and afterward given to the lower classes to lie used at their swials. I ouis Price, a well-known member of the class, was evidently out for prizes that night, for In won both prize dances, receiving a victrola record each time. As tin crowning feature of a hectic semester came the election held on January 11. 1927. Carl Storey was elected president . nd here again the Class of 27 showed its independence of custom by voting so that Faith Bull and George incent were tied for the vice-presidency. However, a second election under tin supervision of the Civics classes was held at which George V incent won. Now, from his lofty position as vice-president of the Senior Class he frowns mightily at anyone who even dares hint about his former informal title of the Class Baby. Florence Graham as secretary and Esther Linnehan as treasurer completed the list of officers. According to custom, the Seniors, dignified by cap and gown, marched in and took their places. By a curious coincidence. Jack found himself in the same place as three years before when he had waited for his assignment to a room and wondered about his high school life. His three years at Commerce were ended now. For the last time, his classmates were gathered with him. The next week many would lx leaving to take the positions offered them. Others would wait until after graduation to prove what Commerce had done for them. As for himself. Jack wasn’t entirely satisfied. He hadn’t done his best. He had. in fact. l)een quite an ordinary student, lb might have done some things a great deal better. But in one respect lie fell, instinctively, he had surely succeeded. Never would lie lose sight of his school motto—Industry and Integrity. Finis y Class of June, .927 C A I) U C E U S tip Class Prophecy Alice Ellell Date—June 1937. Time—12.00. Place—Hecate’s cave.

Please tell me of its triumphs and failures in this complex, modern world. Hecate—“To lx sure. I shall please thee, and now, what hath the magic crystal to give us?” (Here Hecate performs some solemn gestures and proceeds to tell the career of the class since its graduation.) Tillie Handwerker is a teacher of science and specializes in electricity. She teaches them how to charge things and to get away with it.

Carl Storey is going around with Pola Negri (in the revolving doors of a post- ofTice.) Faith Bull is doing a lot of darning these days. You see IT runs in the family. Little Gertrude Dean has written a new banana song—“Hanging Out With The Bunch.” First a farmer, then a butter and egg man. and now Irving Clark is the head of a cheese concern and he is the biggest cheese. “Al” Williams is a well known suffragette. She and “Shorty” Bousquet are trying to pass a bill granting the weaker sex the right to construct roads. 1 lowever, Howard Cheney doesn’t approve, and he holds that any matter relating to roads is a man’s job. John Tesoro has attained great heights as window washer in New York. Eleanor Broadhurst is a sentimental spinster. Six times she has advertised that a lonely old maid seeks comfort and light in this world; and at last has re- ceived an answer—from the gas and light company. Boland Marriott is now the caretaker of the careful caretaker’s daughter. This is the first careless step Boland has ever taken. Pauline Farr has at last got into the movies. She got in for fifty cents, the same way I did. George Vincent, the living image of the great Rudolph Valentino, is now playing as the “Silent Partner” in the Baby Grand Theater.” His accompanying partner is Dorothy Wilmot.

Commerce had hard luck outside of Springfield, while at the home games they displayed their real fighting spirit. In the interschool games the Crimson tied Central at 6-6. beat Cathedral. 6-0. and bowed to Tech in a hard-fought battle. 14-9. IL 21 C A D L C K I I' 00TBA LL (Continued) The Crimson eleven was admired for its pluck when it staged a magnificent comeback in the second half of the game against Tech. Although unable to top the lead piled up by the Tiger foemen. it displayed teamwork and skill second to no schoolboy team in tin past decade. An event which will never be forgotten is Billy Newton s I l-yard drop-kick for three points. Both college men and coaches were astonished and predict a wonderful future for this versatile athlete. Another event was the defeating of the strong Greenfield eleven valley champions of last year. 6-0.

At the end of the season. Tech led by one game, Commerce and Central were to play the last game of the series. Only by winning from Central could Commerce tie with Tech.

In recognition of his excellent athletic ability, sportsmanship, and strength of character. Newton, at the completion of his high school career, was given a special award by the High School of Commerce faculty athletic committee. Newton’s rise in school athletics was. from the beginning, gradual but sure. In his freshman year he gained an end position on the foot- ball team and displayed favorable form throughout the season. When basketball practice began Billy tried out for his class team. It was not long before his natural sense of leadership asserted itself, for he was elected captain of the quintet, which, under his successful guidance, succeeded in winning the coveted school championship. The following fall Newton again annexed a varsity po- sition on the football eleven and through his excellent play- ing was largely instrumental in aiding the team to win the Interschool Football Cham- pionship. By virtue of his superior qualities he was se- lected as end on the mythical all-city first team and of the all-valley second team. That same year Newton played as guard on the Crim- son basketball aggregation, lie and Red Greenberg, paired together, formed a backfield that was the terror of oppos- ing teams. During his last year of football Newton was unanimously elected captain of the eleven. Throughout the season Billy proved the mainstay of the Crimson but the climatic point of his pigskin career was reached when, in a game against Tech, he booted a 45-yard field goal to place himself foremost among school-record-holders. As a reward for his meteoric playing Newton was for the second successive year chosen on the all-city team. Although his basketball activities were cut short in his senior year by graduation. Billy, during the few games in which he did play, proved to be the whole back field of the Crimson quintet, and continually provided thrills for the crowds by Ins spectacular defensive exhibitions. Newton not only shone in athletics but was prominent in other school affairs. He was a member of the Student Council for three years and during his senior year was chosen president of it. Several club rosters contained his name. In ad- dition to all this lie was a good student. His activities w ill ever fill a page in Commerce history and lie will always lx remembered as—William Irving Newton, athlete, sportsman, and scholar. 125 C A D U C K I S Baseball “Chief” K. H. B.

Captain Herman W hite’s leadership combined with Bev. Wilson’s work on the mound and with the stick were largely instrumental in helping Commerce make such a favorable showing. Two setbacks by Deerfield and St. Thomas at the start of the season raised an invisible barrier of inconfidence which Coach Myers’ charges had to overcome in later games. Central fell the first victim to the Crimson, 1-0. parallel to the opening of the intcrschool games. 'I'he locals annexed two of the following three games, their only loss being to Cathedral. 7-4. The vanquished teams were Vocational and Mass. Aggies (two- year men). Commerce again defeated Central in the second interschool conflict and so definitely put the Blue and White out of the race for the city Championship. In the first battle with Tech the Crimson was entirely outplayed and ended on the short end of a 16-2 score. But after polishing off Bay Path and Monson the Hill-toppers again faced the Orange and Black with a craving for revenge. This time the 1 4hot-Streeters were forced to the limit to defeat a fighting, rejuvenated Commerce nine. Tech through receiving tin-! “breaks” in the game won, 13-12. Only two members of the team were named as All-City material. They were Jack Greenberg, an outfielder, and Bev. Wilson, a pitcher.

In the first meet of the season Commerce lost, to South Manchester, 72 1-6— 25 5-6. Greenberg was the only Commerce man to star in this meet. The Crimson’s next opponent. Williston, also proved too strong for the local boys. When the points were finally tallied it was found that Commerce was on the tail end of a 63-36 score. Rees aided Greenberg in piling up the majority of Com- merce’s |K)ints. A triangular meet among Commerce. SufYield and Enfield formed the third encounter of the season. The Springfield athletes placed second in this conflict with 29 points, while SufBeld won w ith 70 points. Enfield trailed with nine markers. As in previous meets Greenberg proved the backbone of the Crimson team. Stan- ford. Cheney, Squier and Davis also annexed a number of points. Tech 70, Central 37 1-2. Commerce 19.—tin score, of the first interschool track meet ever to lx held among the three Springfield High Schools, tells eloquent- ly enough the results of this fray. By winning the mile and half mile, from a strong field, and capturing a third in the short put, “Bed” Greenberg placed as second high scorer in the meet. Throughout the season. Jack Greenberg, by repeatedly negotiating the mile and half mile in remarkably fast time and by constantly gaining points in the javelin throw, shot put. and broad jump, proved the mainstay of the Crimson team. Greenberg’s greatest feat of the season was the establishing of a new school record for the javelin throw. In the first meet of the season, “Red hurled the javelin 135 feet, two inches. Ramoth Bees. Lincoln Squier and Laurence Davis deserve praise for the creditable manner in w hich they performed. Bees was the Crimson’s best lx t in the broad jump, while Squier continually annexed second or third places in the 220 and 440-yard run. Davis showed up well in the pole vault.
