' High School Centennial The anniversary of one hundred years of city high school education was observed Friday, November 16, 1928, when all the civic and educational facilities of the City of Springfield concentrated their powers in celebration. From the eminence to which Springfield high schools have climbed in the state and in the country, the City of Homes may look back through a crowded century of changes and progress to the time in 1828 when the first high school building was erected on School Street with only a handful of pupils, to the present day when there are four high schools carrying a collective roll of over 4300 pupils. Of this number, two-fifths attend the Hign School of Commerce. While the first curriculum was devoted to those subjects deemed classical and cultural, the current curricula of the four high schools embrace practical as well as classical studies. The first diplomas were awarded on March 25, 1856, when a class of nine was graduated. In January of this year, 1929, there were 353 graduates from the high schools, and in June of this year a total of 450 pupils are receiving diplomas. Rev. Story Hebard, a graduate of Amherst College in 1828, was the first high school instructor, at a salary of $750 a year. At this time, the high school was a district ed- ucational center. However, in 1848, it had been changed to a town or city high school, and Ariel Parish was the principal at a salary of $90.91 per month. The school cur- riculum was divided into three departments: common English branches, higher English and Mathematical branches, and the Classical department. Annual examinations were held for admittance to the high school, and candidates were required to present them- selves with slate and pencil, nens, and a few sheets of paper. The examinations were confined to arithmetic, English grammar, geography, reading, and spelling. .The high school progressed rapidly, and with the increasing nigh school popu- lation came the need of a more diversified training. Consequently, the high school in existence in 1905 was given the appellation “Central High School” and was devoted practically entirely to the purpose of training in classical subjects. In this same year, 1905, the Technical High School was built to minister to those needing a particular type of training; and ten vears later, in 1915, the High School of Commerce was established. Of these three high schools, Commerce has been by far the most rapid in growth. Its student population of over 1700 is almost as much as the collective en- PAOE SBVEN CADUCE US The High School of Commerce, Erected 1915 rolment of the ocher two high schools. For this remarkable growth and the quality of service accompanying ic, no one man has had so great a share as our principal. Carlos B. Ellis. The entire centennial program was both interesting and picturesque. The parade, in which all the Springfield high pupils participated, consisted of a march down State Street, past the reviewing scand in front of the City Library, to Dwight, to Bridge, and on to Main and Court Streets. Following this parade, which was one of the most unique and impressive demonstrations ever witnessed in the city of Springfield, the students crowded into the Auditorium, filled it to capacity, and overflowed to the First Church. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York City, the principal speaker of the day, addressed the pupils on the subject “The Function of Education in American Life.” Vice-Chairman Franklin A. Latimer of the School Board presided at the exercises at the Auditorium and gave a brief talk on the high school movement in this city. Other speakers on the program were Dr. Zenos E. Scott, Superintendent of Schools, Principal William C. Hill of Central High School, Mayor Fordis C. Parker, and Dr. Frank W. Wright, Director of Secondary Education in Massachusetts. Among the guests present at tnc exercises were various local school officials, mem- bers of the School Board, and noted educators from other cities and towns. The High School of Commerce was much in evidence in the spectacular parade to the Auditorium. In the center of the Commerce section, which was a colorful symphony of red and white, was the Commerce Girls’ Bugle and Drum Corps. This corps is unique in high school circles in this city and vicinity, and was indeed an at- traction in the Centennial parade. Commerce also provided the Springfield Interschool Band with many of its musicians. This Intcrschool Band, which was at the head of the parade, is Springfield’s newest musical organization, and is composed of students from the three high schools, under the direction of LeRoy W. Allen, High School of Commerce music instructor. May the High School of Commerce continue its rapid progression and maintain its splendid reputation among the high schools of our country!

Not every person can be a historical figure, not every class can be prominent in history, but certainly the Class of January, 1929, has made a name for itself in the history of the High School of Commerce. Now let us turn back to that memorable day in February when we entered Com- merce as poor, little, verdant freshmen. To our elementary school pals we were fine grown-up boys and girls ready to enter senior high school. Jusc think, senior high school! But to the dignified seniors of Commerce, we were but mere children. On entering the building on that first day, we were directed to the large assembly hall where we were greeted by a tall, stately-looking gentleman who we learned was Mr. Carlos B. Ellis, our principal. Mr. Ellis gave us a brief description of the building and then directed us to our home rooms. There we waited patiently for the bell which would dismiss us to our first-period classes. At last the time came and we started off. It was much harder to find our class rooms than we thought it would be. Remember the time when we left 132 and went off looking for 115? We scampered all the way around the building only to return to the same place and find that 115 was directly across the hall from 132. We were treated well by all, even by the seniors until lunch time came, and then we had to reluctantly submit to their pushing and crowding ahead of us in the lunch line. The rest of the day ran smoothly enough, and we returned home at night thoroughly exhausted after a day of exciting experience. We did not go home alone however, for an armful of books accompanied us, or, in other words, our friend, homework. Now that we had become familiar with class rooms, there was the first assembly to look forward to. On the following Thursday we marched in single file to the assembly hall, to the tunc of the “Connecticut March” played by the Commerce orchestra. After the pupils had all been seated, the music ceased. Mr. Ellis then read a passage from the Bible and the Lord’s prayer was repeated by all. Next came the singing of a hymn. This was very interesting but quite difficult for us frcshics for we were not quite sure of our music. Following the hymn we were given a few general instructions by Mr. Ellis who also gave us the school motto, “Industry and Integrity.” Each word was carefully explained but still we did not grasp the full value of them, such a thing being impossible without first having a bit of experience. A nod from Mr. Ellis dis- missed us to our home rooms. Six weeks passed serenely; then came more excitement, our first high-school report card. Would we be honor students? Would we be poor students? No one could tell. Much confusion resulted at 2.30 when the cards were distributed. There were many, “Alls!” of relief, “Ohs!” of surprise, and “Oh Dears!” of disappointment. Some of us were very well satisfied, but others perhaps, felt differently. This first report card made us realize more fully the meaning of “Industry.” It was not long before we had a class meeting. First of all we formed a constitution; then we elected temporary class officers. It was hard for us because we had not become PAOE TWENTY-NINE i9i9 CLASS HISTORY—Continued acquainted with all of our class members, and we did not know which of them would make good leaders. Nevertheless we did our best and managed the situation with success. Having elected class officers, we then proceeded to make plans for our 1A social. For this great affair we decorated the girls’ gym. in yellow and blue banners daintily draped across from wall to wall with our class banner completing the decorations. The question of partners was a difficult one to solve. We were rather shy about asking a member of the opposite sex to accompany us. What a relief it was when, after we had shyly invited a partner, “Yes” came as our answer! Music, dancing, and refreshments were enjoyed by all. In January, 1927, we elected our first permanent class officers. The full-fledged voters, or those who had fully paid their dues up to that time, were allowed to vote. It was our first time at the polls so we were somewhat ignorant of the legal procedure. However, we all cast our ballots properly. Much as a country eagerly awaits the re- sults of its presidential campaigns, we awaited the result of our election. We later learned that our class officers were : President—Louise Gracff Secretary—Richard MacNayr Vice-president—Lillian Cooley Treasurer—June Day Auditor—Molly Sakowitz A few months passed and again it was time for another social. This time we decorated the gym. in red and white, having the lights prettily decorated. Our I IB social was successful but our 11A social was the most attractive of all. This was our Masquerade. Halloween was not far off so we combined the two and made it a Mas- querade and Halloween party. The gym. was decorated in orange and white with weird old witches riding about on their broom sticks. We had ghosts and fierce-looking cats glaring at us from dark corners. Prizes were given for the best costume, the best couple, and the funniest costume. The IIA social is one which will long remain in the memories of our class mates. In January, 1928, we went to the polls again to elect a new set of class officers. We elected: President—Albina Zancan Secretary—Almcda Poirier Vice-president—Beatrice Falk Treasurer—June Day Auditor—Molly Sakowitz These pupils were to remain in office for the rest of our time at Commerce. Our I1IB semester held much in store for us. Our IIIB hop was a success but the outstanding events given by us were the Freshmen Reception and the Christmas Assembly. ' We invited all freshmen and their parents to this reception so that they might better become acquainted with the school and the faculty. We also entertained them with gym. exhibitions and music by the orchestra, glee clubs, and individual mem- bers from both. An address of welcome by the president and another address by Mr. Ellis completed the program. •i v PAOE THIRTY ?- ■ 11 11____ ■— ■ ■■■— CADUCEUS 1929 CLASS H1ST0RX — Cojitinucd Ac Christmas time we invited the aged ladies and gentlemen to join us in our merriment. We had the stage decorated with an inviting fire place and a large Christ- mas tree. Jovial was our Santa Claus, Aldcn Reynolds, and he furnished many bits of interesting humor. The orchestra and glee club again entertained us on this occasion. We all left the assembly that day in a happy mood. There was something else coming in our I11B semester which was to cause much excitement. One day we were called to the assembly hall where we found Mr. Ellis waiting to address us. In his hand he held long sheets of paper. Our I1IB rating sheets? Exactly. We could hardly wait to see them. Many of them were excellent, others were fair, and a few not so good, but we all resolved that our III A rating sheets should be excellent if possible. It was not long before we became III A, dignified seniors wearing arm bands to distinguish ourselves from lower classmen, and occupying the reserved seats in the assembly hall. How proud we were to be seniors at last! We have mentioned only our class as a whole, but in our midst arc several his- torical figures. We have a very talented singer in the person of Faith Walker. Promising musicians arc Merton Pomeroy, John Szymezyk, and Katherine Doyle. We have fine athletes in Albina Zancan, Elizabeth F. Shea, Ralph Lewis, Lawrence Marchcse, George Marsh, Richard Johnson, and Joseph Izenstein. We have future playwrights in Elizabeth Bertocki and David Blatt, who is also an able manager. Mr. Blatt now holds the honored position of being Editor-in-Chicf of Commerce, our school paper. What, do you suppose, has made our class, as well as its individual members succeed as they have? Just this, they have held up as their ideal and their motto “In- dustry and Integrity.” Almeda Poirier 0 Class Song Tune : “Just Once Again’ ’ Verse After today, pals, Our school lives will end, pals, And then we will drift apart.

Feature our making a scrap-book under any other conditions! After one week of inactivity we were so bored with each other’s company and disgusted at our weak and half-hearted attempts at diversion, that any break in the monotony of the sleepy little inn was welcome. So we set to collecting every newspaper available, whether used as a table cloth, which was by no means an uncommon thing; or utilized as a carpet, which was likewise popular. At the end of two weeks, during which the snow storm had not abated one particle in its ferocity, we had the results of sheer desperation ready for an interested reader’s perusal. David Blatt is the owner of the famous newspaper syndicate known as “Blatt’s Line.” We were delighted to find that all the papers we had were members of his chain. The staff included two members of our class who were quite prominent in journalism at school—namely, Beatrice Falk and Elizabeth Bertocki. It is said that no news ever escapes the pointed effect of their pencils. Pauline Kimball, once the successful proprietor of a gum factory, has declared bankruptcy. (Reliable reports say that Pauline chewed up most of the profits.) Lawrence Marchcsc is the owner of the Gucy Glue Works. (In order to insure the perfection of future hair grooms, we suppose.) Mary Maloney, a former pupil of Mr. Walker, recently announced the opening of her “School of Blushing.” At the end of the “Best Seller” list we were astounded to sec that two of our would-be sheiks, none other than Sydney Steinberg and Philip Faris, have jointly published a book on “Attaining, Maintaining, and Retaining Popularity.” Phyllis Meserve, Dorothy Doran, and Beulah Gray are using all their argumentative abilities to persuade Ruth Anderson to eat only the holes in doughnuts in order that sh may gain admittance to the order of “Human Toothpicks,” of which Stanley Lipski is president. One of the city’s most prominent organizations, known as the “Canned Music Makers,” recently held a recital in which Anna Winning, Katherine Doyle, and Anna Cohen were the outstanding canners. Merton Pomeroy and John Szymczyk were also very prominent tins. Having received their inspiration from Miss Tourtellotte, Agnes Bushwinger and Delia Boyer have organized tne “Three Hours For Lunch Club.” Because of difficulties encountered at Commerce, Lillian Cooley has now perfected a dictionary which is swallowable. Surely you remember Genevieve Lynch, that red-haired stenographer? Well, she is still snapping her wad of gum, and indeed gave Pauline Kimball quite a start in her gum business. We were much amused to find that the three Smiths: Ida, Jessie, and Judith, are still engaged in their strenuous gymnastics of all answering to the call of “Miss Smith!” (That most uncommon name.) And speaking of extraordinary names, Helen Brown has now changed hers to Madame rlelcnc Brownell. Sounds like “Modiste Shop” (Well, ’tis.) Louise Graeff is her chief client. Almcda Poirier has lost none of her ability as a song writer, her latest being “When the Banana Skins Arc Falling I’ll Come Sliding Home to You.” A peculiar headline caught my eye, the “Non-Squirtable Grapefruit.” The sum and substance of the article was that Agatha Doyle, Esther Holt, and Lear Douglas PACK THIRTY-HIVE CADUCEUS —1 A CHRONICLE — Continued are now engaged in the wholesale fruit business of manufacturing non-squirtablc grapefruit. Bologna and Sausage Incorporated has great publicity by the merit of its ingen- ious head accountant, Molly Sakowitz. It appears that Elsa Ghiandoni is in the sign-painting business. (She received her practice while writing the invitations to our Prom., no doubt.) Dotty Avery and Betty Varanka are now storming Broadway. (They refused to pound typewriters so now they are tapping floors together. We hope they don’t have to wash them.) Alex Romanko and James Austin advertise portable aeroplanes. (They must be quite up in the air about it.) Mildred Mongcau, Eileen Charron, Katherine Law, Alice Ross, and Virginia Thompson have been admitted to a law school, of which Everett Fisher is principal. Listed among die foreign news was this small item : “Sophie Falk has organized a kindergarten in Ware.” “Em-gri-co-rad,” merely meant a large department store of which Eileen Emerson, Agnes Griffith, Esther Cohen, and Anna Radncr are the proprietors. Betty Sullivan is progressing rapidly in her talented profession, the art of interior decorating. Dorothy Woodworth has won a $1000 scholarship in the Studymost University in Studyville, Missouri. A streamer headline announced that Dick Johnson has compelled Babe Ruth to go out of business. Dick and his runs have pushed Babe off the front page. (By the way, D. J. learned a great deal about running when he was Peggy Lull’s boy friend.) The G. G. E. lawyers are prominent. After reading for about five minutes I found that this firm was none other than Ella Gluskin, Lena Goldberg, and Anna Edclstcin, who are, no doubt, making use of the knowledge Mr. Masters attempted to teach them. Margaret Lull opened a beauty parlor and her slogan is “Fifty-five ways of combing one’s hair is taught here.” In an interview with this bcforc-the-public figure, “Variety is the spice of Peg’s life,” quoted the newspaper correspondent. “My name is Bertha I-S-E-M-A-N, not Izenstein as Mr. Masters persisted in calling me.” (Bertha paid $3.00 for this ad.) Dorothy Andrews is one of the proprietors of the Home Beautiful Corporation. She has received much publicity by designing a home for Ray Conlin. He is to be married soon. A tiny item came to light. Its substance follows: “Sadie Armely is “down south” running Hickesville, where she came from before she went to Commerce. Ann Kclchcr, who is a most efficient cashier in the “Smack ’em Up” Restaurant, no doubt gave as reference her experience in the Commerce lunchroom. This headline was a pleasant surprise! “Doris Rust Wins International Beauty Contest.” You remember Doris was our best looking girl. We sure had some taste. William Stolze, we found, is the president of the Peaches and Cream Complexion Company. You remember Bill’s complexion was the envy of every girl in the High School of Commerce. Linnea Chilstrom and Anna Collina are still practicing their motto, “Two heads are better than one.” They have invented a folding picture which is named the “One in two” (parts, no doubt.) -i; x PAOB THIRTY-SIX CADUCEUS A CHRONICLE — Continued “Louis Dietz, Meyer Superman, Robert Driscoll, James Beadle, Harold Walker, Ernest Boussy, Arthur Beane, Dclmar Vining,” we read, “are throwing the grand bluff in their Hot Air Manufacturing Company, very successfully.” Faith Walker now exercises her vocal chords over Station W. O. W. (Some say she is and some say she isn’t “a wow.”) Karl Vester, the proprietor of an ideal drugstore in which anything from a tooth' pick to a Ford Car may be purchased, has paid $500 to have his name changed to “Varl Kester.” “Dick” MacNavr, a promising pilot, recently challenged “The Lone Eagle” to an endurance contest, cne prize to be Jeannette Daze. Lindbergh says that the only reason Dick won was that Cnarlcs is getting old. “Libby” Shea is now the star reporter of the “Knows All And Sees All” column of the New York Herald. None other than Ida Smith has won the championship of the World’s Loudest Talker. (Well do we remember Ida’s hours of practice under the able direction of Mr. A. H. Smith.) Marion Mead has at last given up her extensive search for “The Lost Chord.” (Much to the relief of all concerned.) Recent reports from the Springfield Hospital state that the patients arc frequently awakened by the racket caused by Beatrice Smart’s Big Ben. June Day is president of the well-known bank, “First Day.” Albina Zancan, financed by her fiance “Ray” Conlin, is now conducting the “Zancan School of Gymnastics.” (It sure is a “peppy, up-and-coming education.”) Florence Schreyer is now manager of Jensen’s Candy Store and is very thin. Florence says she is an abstainer from candy. (We wonder.) Miss Palmer proved very inspiring to Jane Marden. She is now a teacher of nu- trition and likes it. Genar Abihider, Jennie Accorsi, Thelma Allard, Evelyn Beane, Margaret Braica, Dorothy Burr, and Doris Stannard have formed a society for the prevention of cruelty to typewriters. (They must have learned to sympathize with the poor “old” Remingtons in Room 315.) The Bubble Manufacturing Company has just elected George Marsh as its president and head man. (Mr. Marsh did his practising in Room 107.) George Schncelock is the proud inventor of the newest patented fad ‘ ‘The Fadeless Blond Hair Tonic.” (George must be his best client.) On the sport page of the paper, I found a picture of “Joe” Izcnstein. “Joe” has recently joined the “Drop-It-In” basketball team. Large crowds come to see him play. Mary Hynes, the fifty-eighth, is touring the country demonstrating her ability to talk without exhaustion. Esther Bufton was seen last week at the Poli’s in the title role of ‘ ‘Miss American Girl.” Annabclle Bruce is in France attempting to teach the Frenchmen the technique of “Parlcz-vous?” Her star pupil and right-hand man is “Art” Demers. In the wedding announcement column we noticed that Joseph Wallace, our class woman hater, has succumbed to “her” charms and in a bungalow “Ten Miles from Town” arc “Me and My Girl Friend” living in ecstasy. “Lickem College Eleven Wins Championship.” As I read further I saw that our Ralph Lewis is the football coach of that college. (Ralph must teach his boys what “Chief’ Myers caught him.) • ■3----- - - -- . - ■ — ■— ■ ■ '■ ■!

They hold their meetings on the corner of 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City. Elliott Sikes has been unanimously elected Governor of the Floating Islands. (The population of which is one.) Mildred Papanti is still demonstrating “her art of make-up,” with Mary Doyle, Effie Brooks ana Rose Betters as her most promising pupils. A prosperous chicken business offered three hens for a dollar—Anna Co-hen, Esther Co-hen, and Anna R. Co-hen. One day soon after the completion of this exhaustive research, wherein we had lived again, the care-free days of school life, we were thrilled to see a large truck plough- ing mightily through the banks of snow. With a groan it came to a stop. We peered excitedly out of the window. There followed a mad scramble for the door. We did not mind the biting cold as we beheld our rescuer, Anna Emery. Jogging merrily and snugly along in one of the Emery trucks, we felt at peace with tne world.

I . . ■ ■ ■■■■! . = • CADUCEUS f History of the Class of June, 1929 After a prolonged vacation of two weeks because of the threatening infantile paralysis situation, Commerce again opened her doors, September 20, 1926, to receive the ever-increasing group of eager students. What a day that was for us who were on the threshold of entering real high-school life! We freshmen, true to form, were ex- cited and anxious, lost in the rush and asking the upperclassmen all kinds of questions. After much confusion, we assembled in the school auditorium, where Principal Carlos B. Ellis gave a never-to-be-forgotten dissertation on the qualities of success necessary in the business world as well as in high school. In October we were invited to attend the Freshmen Reception, given by the Seniors to welcome us as new members of the school and to give us the opportunity to acquaint our parents with the High School of Commerce. Donald Lane, IIIA class president, extended the welcoming speech. The enjoyable entertainment consisted of a play “Kitty’s Decision,” a parallel bar and balance exhibition by Herbert Engleman, and a soft-shoe dance by Rhea Martens and Esther Sheriff. Our IB year passed swiftly and before we half realized it, we had become full fledged IA’s. At this time our class was organized under the leadership of Miss Natalie Clark, our faculty adviser. We elected the following officers: President—Ruth Campbell Vice-president—Katherine Bailey Secretary—Rosalind Webber Treasurer—Virginia Searlcs Auditor—Richard King One morning we had a special assembly given by the Girls' Gym. team. The ex- hibition consisted of tumbling and dancing. All the classes took part in this event. In April we had our IA Social. The music was supplied by Robert McGraw’s Ser- enades. The entertainment was a Black Bottom dance by Sybil Finklehoff, followed by a soft-shoe dance by Ruth Bashaw. The semester passed by quickly, and it was soon time for our summer vacation which marked the close of our fist year of high- school life. When we returned to school in September we were proud that we had successfully passed our freshmen year and were at last junios. The fist and most-looked-forward- to event of our IIB year was the dance in October. Charles Rex’s orchestra furnished the music. The entertainment was a short comic sketch by Elaine Chaput and Ruth Campbell and also a piano solo by Ailsa Daniels. During this year we were proud of the fact that Albert Mastroianni won a silver loving cup in tennis and Louis Pike also won a prize for his proficiency in the same sport. Another, though different, record was established by Daniel Fricdson, who set a new scholastic mark for boys by being on the maximum honor roll for every marking period throughout his career at Com- merce. It was again time to elect officers, and the following were chosen: President—Richard King Vice-president—Mildred Pennington Secretary—Anna Daley Treasurer—A. Scott Phillips Auditor—Mildred Jefferson The time passed swiftly and soon we were IIA’s. This year Commerce won the Interschool Basketball ChampionshipTor the first time in its history. We were doubly ■g— ■ -■ , - ■■ ■,■== PAGE SBVBNTY-THREE C A D U C E U S HISTORY OF THE CLASS—Continued proud because Albert Mascroianni of our class was one of the players. Another high spot of this semester was the IIA Dance. In April the girls of this school and the girls of Central and Technical high schools put on a gymnasium exhibition in the Municipal Auditorium. Needless to say, many members of our class took part in this exhibition. Time for vacation again and our second year of high school life had passed. When we returned in September we had at last become seniors. We were proud but also sad to think that this was our last year at Commerce. In October it was our turn to give the Freshmen Reception. One morning we had a special assembly in which Mr. Ellis talked to us about our rating sheets of the pre- vious semester. He also stressed the point that we had a full semester to improve our records before graduation. This year the football team added the Interschool Championship to its credit. Our class was well represented by the following vartsiy members: Clarence Lcveillee, Howard Simons, Michael Collins, Philip Bcele, George Barney, Donald Gray, Adrian Sargent, and Clayton Clapp, manager. Adrian Sargent won the distinction of being chosen all-city end. The executive committee, which met about this time, consisted of the following members: Mildred Jefferson, Carolyn Murphy, Florence Fearon, Anna Sweetnam, Catherine Bullman, Rose Gossclin, and Richard Barry. The I1IB Hop was another event of great interest. The girls’ gym. was a scene of gayety on this night and was fairly well crowded with dancing couples. Bernice Wood and Louis Curto led the grand march, which occasioned a great deal of laughter. On November sixteenth the four high schools celebrated the 100th anniversary of the high schools in this city. The students of the schools made up a very colorful parade which marched to the auditorium for the exercises. The Girls’ Drum Corps made their initial appearance at this event. The main speaker was Rabbi Stephen Wise of New York City. Our senior play this year was “Bab,” in which Mildred Pennington, Philip Becle, Clarence Leveillee, Catherine Bullman, and Geneva Walkinshaw, members of our class, took part. In January we elected class officers for the last time. Our new executives were : President—Richard King Vice-president—Isabelle Gay Secretary—Cleo Davis Treasurer—A. Scott Phillips Auditor—Rachel Letartc Class Day, our last happy school day together, was held on the fourth of April. A comic sketch followed by specialty numbers was given as part of our last entertainment. As the weeks fly by, we look forward to receiving the reward for our three years of study—our diploma. Then we, as a class, will have added another chapter to the History of Commerce.

Commerce •j t- PAGE SEVENTY-SIX CADUCEUS Prophecy of the June, 1929, Class Time, 1932 Idast week we motored down to Harvard to the Junior Prom. We started out about 2.30 Thursday afternoon in Clarence’s new LaSalle roadster. All of us wore our kitties (raccoons) as we knew it would be quite cool riding. Of course we were not the only ones who motored down, for there were many other Commcrcites who did likewise. In our party were “Don” Gray, “Gert” Chamberland, Clayton Clapp, and Doris Ford, who went in “Don’s” new Lincoln roadster, while Mildred Jefferson and “Doug” Chisholm, went in our car. “Don” is now physical director in a Chicago high school. “Gert” has not gotten over her childhood days and is a proprietor of a doll shop. “Clayt” Clapp is a successful agent for the Young Henry’s Fords. Doris, his lovable wife, helps him out in his work. They have been married only a month. “Doug” Chisholm is a man of leisure enjoying the inheritance of his departed uncle, who was a broker in New York. “Jeff” is proprietor of a beauty shop and is still trying to keep her school-girl complexion and at the same time ordering her beauty specialists to do something she doesn’t know how to do herself. At Worcester we stopped for more gas, and when the station man appeared at the doorway, it was Arnold Lerner. He owns the station and is quite prosperous. He has two other men working for him—two Commcrcites: namely, Harry Klempncr and Herman Greenfield. While we were waiting for the gas, a Ford roadster drove in and who was driving it but “Stcwie” Dennis accompanied by his small son, Stuart, Jr! He is married for the third time to Alice Ryan and they arc living on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston. He is a prosperous traveling salesman for the Jazz-Gum Co. We arrived about 6.30 and decided to go to the Statler Hotel for dinner. It was very beautiful, and the manager, “Stan” Hooker, showed us all the main attractions. We finally got seated together and everyone was ready for a big meal as we were very hungry. When the waiter appeared, it was “Mickie” Collins and we were all sur- prised but glad to see him. Three other classmates are also waiters: namely, James Sutton, Ralph Clark, and Frank D’Angelo. After dinner we had a long chat with “Stan” Hooker and made reservations to stay there several days. Receiving our keys, we hurried up to our rooms and got dressed, for we felt very untidy after traveling. We decided to remain in the hotel that evening, and after finishing dressing we adjourned to the main dining room. Just as soon as we entered the dining room the orchestra started to play and “Doug” looked over and noticed that the pianist was Richard King. Who could ever think of “Dick” playing jazz while when back in Commerce he played only hymns? Later we learned from “Dick” that it was his orchestra, and that Sidney Madorsky was the chief violinist. During the evening a group of gay couples came in. Looking the group over we found “Al” Mastroianni, Doris Bcahn, Dot” Ashworth, Ruth Campbell, Alice Bennett, Howard DeRosc, and Adolf Scarnici, all belonging to the Ziegfield Follies, with “Joe” Curran as their comedian. We all awoke Friday morning at 11.30, for we were very tired from the activities that we had attended the night before. Of course two of the girls (Mildred Jefferson and Doris Ford) were late ones, so we all had to wait for them to dress. “Gert” suggested the idea of going down and venturing through the department stores. We left tne boys to do as they wished and we followed “Gcrt’s” idea. The first store that we went into was R. H. White’s and we went up stairs to the ladies’ de- 1 ■ fr PAGE SEVENTY-SEVEN C A DU C E U S PROPHECY OF THE CLASS—Continued partment where we found Mildred Bennett, the buyer of the dresses and gowns. We also learned that Ruth Borgeson and Irene Bourgault were in the art department, where they are interior decorators. The next store that we went to was Dutton’s where we found that Evelyn MacQuarrie and Mary Migut were their most highly-paid clerks. Helen Patterson is the manager of the office and is doing exceptionally good work, and under her arc Helen Shapiro, Anna Shea, Beatrice Smart, and “Dot” Snow. We all met in front of R. H. White’s store about 12.45 and drove over to Swamp- scott to the Ocean House for lunch. Much of our time was spent in walking around and enjoying the scenery. Finally we entered the hotel and were escorted into the spacious dining room by the head waiter. “Don” recognized him to be Tom Boyajy. There was a large orchestra, ‘ ‘The Jazz Boys,” whose leader was Raymond Gcndron. Abraham Diamond and Edmond Moylan were members of the band. They had a contract with the manager, Alice Fabian, for three years. A suggestion was made and seconded that all the party start back for Boston to attend a snow at one of the theatres there. While riding along through one of the main streets, Daniel Fricdson darted in front of the machine and we blew the horn at him and drove the car up to the curb. Daniel had quite a long chat with us and we learned that he was vice-president of a large bank in Boston. He told us that Gordon Grady and “Dick” Barry have opened a lady’s apparel shon and many Commcrcitcs are models for their store: namely, Elsie Anderson, Mildred Ccbula, Marie Christoffcrson, and Lena Handwcrkcr. They arc receiving good salaries and enjoy their work immensely. On our way back to the hotel we met Margaret McGee, who is now living in Boston, and she told us that she had received a letter from Harriet MacArthur and Anna Lawler. Both of them arc married and live in Chicago. They mentioned in their letter that they often sec Erline Bcriault and Clco Davis, who are physical directors in a Chicago high school. She also received a letter from Sara Stein, who is now living in Hollywood, telling her that Ethel Blodgett and Margaret Boyd arc thinking seriously of entering the movies. Ethel is being tried out for leading woman with Harry Langdon, and Margaret has been asked to join “Our Gang Comedy.” At last we entered the theater and Clayton stepped up to the ticket office, and to his surprise he found Catherine Bullman selling tickets. After talking to Doris she finally consented to give us all passes. We were ushered to our seats and waited for the performance to begin. The curtain rose and a group of chorus girls made their appearance on the stage. Looking them over, we recognized two of them to be Ruth Callahan and Ailsa Daniel. The next act contained a song and dance number in which a few more of our classmates appeared : Ida Fagin, Doris Finch, Sybil Finklehoff, Gladys Gilman, and Matilda Januszcwski. After their acts we left. After telling Catherine that we were looking for some excitement she informed us that Ruth Buckley was selling tickets at the Metropolitan Play House so we decided to go there. We surprised Ruth when we all appeared in front of the ticket office. She assured us we would enjoy the show but would not tell us what the surprise would be. While talking with Ruth we learned that she is living with three of our prominent class mates: Evelyn Butler, who is a stenographer in a large shoe concern; Frances Barr, who is a private secretary in a large butter and egg concern; and Doris Little, who is a salesgirl in a lady’s shop. The first act contained a dance by Saul Kingsburg and “Joe” Kadzik. «3 t- PAGE SEVENTY-EIGHT — ' — ■ .... ===== =f CADUCEUS PROPHECY OF THE CLASS—Continued Another showed Agnes Curtis, Anna Daley, and Hilda Dickinson as three very good singers. We were surprised to discover such talent in our former classmates. The rest of the show was good but there were no more Commcrcitcs in it. After the show we did not know what to do as it was only four o’clock. Walking down the street we heard a striking feminine voice cry, “See the beautiful, historical, unimaginable, massive wonders of this great city for one dollar.” We wondered what it was all about so we hurried to the scene of noise and found a large red-and-whitc sight-seeing bus parked on the side of the road with Howard Simons as caller. We had a good laugh and decided to see all the things he was yelling about. His chauffeur was Aldcn “Shorty” Reynolds who also had a partnership in the business. We rode all over the city, stopping once to see a ship whicli was about to leave the pier. The passengers were still going on and as we came nearer, we met a troupe of girls who seemed to be very happy. They were Edith Brown, Margaret Brough, Rosamond Bolgcr, Mary Bcrtcra, Marjorie Bartlett, Marjorie Bandlow, and Hazel Amidon, about to sail on the S. S. OLYMPIC. Some were going to study art, and the others were going to study music. While conversing with them, they informed us that Adrian Sargent was captain of the S. S. OLYMPIC and that he was married to Irene MacDonald. She accompanied him on all his trips to keep him from getting homesick. She also kept herself posted where and why tnc passengers were going. The whistle blew and our friends said good-bye. We returned to the bus and rode back to town, stopping several times to see the wonders of the city. At one stop, which was in front of the city hall, we saw our old friend Raymond Bessette. We were told that he was the mayor of the city, so we left the bus to talk with him. After greeting us he introduced us to his assistants— Virginia Scarles, his secretary, and Elinor Schonbcck, his clerk. Continuing the con- versation, “Ray” mentioned that Jennie Shapiro, Sadie Shor, Selma Stahl, Lily Stone, and Elinor Rock were typists and stenographers in the city hall. Also that Elinor Reynolds had married a lawyer and was living in Boston, very happy. Elinor and Virginia said that Doris Perkins had gone abroad to study dressmaking; that Mildred Cummings and Sophia Witkin ran a very expensive preparatory school for girls; and that Rose Gossclin and Verna Hale had opened a very fashionable hat shop. The girls asked us up to their apartment, but we told them we were going over to Cambridge that night. Walking toward the hotel we were attracted by a very good-looking cabaret called “The Side by Side.” Looking in, we saw Elaine Chaput and Edna Harpin, giggling away as they did back in Commerce. The “two in one” girls greeted us with kisses and ordered a drink for us. It was their cabaret, we later found out. During the con- versation, the girls told us that several Commercites were working at the Massachusetts General Hospital. It was about six o’clock when we arrived at the hospital. Entering the door we bumped into Esther Pellet, who is the switch-board operator. We learned from her that Clara Deane was quite ill, so we said we would visit her. While walking down the corridor we met Tillic Groffman, who is the head nurse. Whom should we find as Clara’s nurse but Carrie Johnson! Athena Joseph and Corinne Kandoian were also in training, liking their work very much. Two of the specialists were John Gallivan and Alvar Nyman; and Raymond Richardson, Scott Phillips, and Louise Papineau were also on the staff. We rode down to the main floor on the elevator operated by Joseph Paige and re- turned to the hotel where we remained for dinner. The boys were dressed first (as usual), so we waited in the lobby for the girls. While we were talking, who do you imagine came in? None other than our old mouth organ, “Phil Beele, accompanied ■■ — —■ — ■ � - ■■■■■■ ■ - -t PAGE SEVENTY-NINE C A D U C E U S PROPHECY OF THE CLASS— Continued by “Vic” Marchesc, the boy with the pacent-leather hair. After talking for some time, we found out that “Phil was married to a girl who was his daughter several years ago in the school play “Bab”—Mildred Pennington. The latter, who was still hunt- ing for a wife worthy of him, owned several haberdashery stores in town. The girls came tripping down the stairs and after a little jolly conversation, we said “au revoir” and scarced tor Cambridge and the Harvard Prom. We arrived at Harvard at 10.10 and we parked the car in a place all marked off for the occasion. Who should drive into the next space beside “Don’s” car but Evelyn Willner and Rose Williams, who were invited down by Rose’s brother and his room- mate, Albert Heller. We entered the spacious auditorium, which was elaborately decorated, and were escorted to the checking room by Everett Nelson. Of course, after checking our coats we separated, the boys have to wait for the girls to make themselves look beautiful. In the girls' room we met eight of our class mates whom we had not seen since we were seniors in Commerce. They were Wanda Abramowicz, Ruth Bashaw, Johanna Wcidner, Anna Swcccnam, Isabel Tarka, Mary Sandor, Ruth Tourccllocce, and Helen Spiriti, and we had quite a chat with them. Wanda and Ruth Bashaw arc private stenographers in a large concern in Newton. Johanna, Anna Swectnam, Isabel Tarka, and Mary Sandor are typists in the Connecticut Mutual Insurance Company, while Ruth Tourtellotte and Helen Spiriti are working as buyers in different departments of Jordan Marsh Company. We adjourned to the auditorium where everyone was dancing. While'dancing we met many more Commercites who are attending schools and colleges near Boston. Ten of our classmates arc now students at Radcliffe College. They arc Louise Gihon, Elizabeth Campsie, Frances Chamberlain, Mildred Charter, Shirley Collins, Louise Collis, Edith Connaughton, Doris Cotter, Agnes Curtis, and Frances Davidson. Seven arc attending Leslie: namely, Barbara Curtis, Helvi Harma, Louise Doughty, Catherine Downes, Minnie Gcllcr, Emily Garde, and Marion Hill. Five attend LaSalle, they being Dora Kemmcl, Eleanor Lynch, Mildred Harris, Sylvia Iverson, and “Dot” Kingston. Constance Lambert, Louise Krauss, and Anna Kobrosky attend Miss Whcclock’s Kindergarten School. All of them like their work and most of them are to graduate next year. Gladys Keens and Thora Higgins arc in a large insurance office near Boston. They started in at the concern after graduation and have worked themselves up until now they are head of two departments, having ten girls under them. Some of tne members of the office force are Irene Simpson, Helen Silverstein, Lillian Simonoff, Theresa Serafino, Marion Stoddard, Anita Stone, Lily P. Stone, Anna McDonnell, Agnes Pava, and Muriel Pease. Being so rushed around and meeting so many old Commercites we had plenty to talk about when our group got together during intermission. There being such a crowd at the college, we decided to go out and find some place to cat. Looking up the street we saw a sign saying “College Inn” so we rushed up to the little collegiate restaurant. Just about to give our order, we recognized Isabelle Gav, Marjorie Dunning, and Lconore Dubie, who are in partnership in the Inn. After talking with them we learned that Florence Fcaron, Madeline Spencer, and Vivian Clough are also running a similar lunch place further up town. We returned to the Prom, and enjoyed the rest of the evening immensely. We entered the hotel about 3.30 A. M. and to our surprise we saw William Murray, who proved to be the house detective, escorting Owen Sutton, who was returning from a night club (in very high spirits). PAGE EIGHTY «= . ... — —- --- =....... - — ------=+ CADUCEUS PROPHECY OF THE CLASS—Continued Saturday morning at 11 o’clock, after bidding our friends au revoir, we left for a round-about trip home. Our first stop was at Providence where we went to visit Gladys Orell, who is married to George Barney, a real estate man. Gladys was entertaining a week-end party in their spacious mansion. The party consisted of Theodore Amnotte, Wallace Darrah, Ugo Ambrogi, Louis Pike, Theodore Sarcs, Evelyn Osgood, Elsie Opell, Lillian Olinsky, Margaret O’Brien, and Josephine Morisi, who all seemed to be en- joying a good time away from their offices. We did not remain long, for we had many other calls to make. Traveling over a rough road, we were jarred when a back tire went flat. Walking to a gas station about a hundred yards away I asked the girl in the office, who was Elizabeth Fitzgerald, the wife of George Leger, the sration proprietor and general store keeper in that town, for a man to change my tire. Helping the garage man, I got some grease on my trousers so I stopped at the tailor’s shop a few blocks up the street. A little, short, comical looking cnap came from the back room and it turned out to be Saul Kaufman. We had quite a talk and we learned that he was living only a few blocks away in a house owned by Leon Levin, who always took a great interest in that kind of work. Down the street a gay-colored billboard met our eyes, announcing an ice-skating carnival at the Laplink Arena. Having nothing else to do, we thought we would stop and exercise. We went inside and had skates fitted to us by James Mclnernev, who told us that we were in for a good show. All excited we waited and who should come skating in turning figure eights, but Irene Ginsburg, supporting Jeannette Glazcr, Rose Cohen, and Sadie Seader. They received the first prize, which was a gold medal made in a brass factory and presented by the judger of mankind, who was no less than Israel Cohen. Just as we were leaving, we almost fell over Lillian Gorrod and Rosclin Goldstein, who had tripped and landed right in front of us and were helped to their feet by no less than Henry Supryn and Howard Congdon, the two heroes who were always on the job in case of distress. Being hungry, we went to a stand and bought some pink lemonade and hot dogs from Edward Tilley, owner of the stand. When we reached Putnam, whom should we sec sporting boy friends but Eleanor Christianson, Vivien Desmarais, Marion Fuller, Lorraine Granger, Violet Hayduk, and Mary Johnson. Just imagine that! Back in Commerce they were so shy. We stopped at the Bond in Hartford for dinner as it was about 6.30. At the table seated next to us were Virginia Tourtellotte, Geneva Walkinshaw, and Doris Schlafcr; and they informed us that Melvina Savaria, Mildred Stcars, Rosalind Webber, “Dot” Hitchcock, and Grace Linstrom are working in the Travelers’ Insurance Company. __ On the way home from Hartford, near Thompsonville, we witnessed quite a bad accident. Two cars driving about 45 miles an hour, collided and one person was quite seriously hurt. We got out of the car and went over to where the scene had taken place. Whom should we find to be the owner of the cars but Sarah Cohen and Ethel Heckler! In the car with Sarah was Jessie Libow, Anna Russell, and Julia Runsdorf, while in Ethel’s car were Ellen Parker, Elizabeth Rawles, and Ella Rowley. Julia, who was the only one hurt, was taken to a house near by. When we approached the house, we noticed Rachel Lctartc sitting in the window. She opened the door and we brought Julia in. We called for a doctor and who should appear a few minutes later but Vera Cooper- man! Vera saw that Julia was comfortable and then she conversed with us. She and Florence Montaguci have a joint office, and Phoebe Piscitelli is the clerk in the office. •a. — ■— ' t� PAGE EIGHTY-ONE --- -- —. ■' ■' ■■■ -- - • CADUCEUS PROPHECY OF THE CLASS—Continued Also she informed us that Theresa Petronini and Mary Palkowski have opened a photographer’s studio just two doors away from her office and they meet many hu- morous people who wish to have their pictures taken, but the high school in Thompson- ville furnishes them with most of their trade. We arrived home about 11.45 and everyone exclaimed “Oh what a wonderful time we have had, meeting all our old friends who were back in Commerce with us!” Carolyn Murphy Clarence Leveillee Y Y Y Prophecy on the Prophets 0H dear! It seems like ages since I took my trip to Europe—but it is only three months since my return. And oh! What memories! As I sit before the fireplace re- calling my experiences, two keep coming to my mind most clearly. While motoring through Barcelona I saw, to my astonishment, that Senor Canovas, the famous actor, was appearing at the Valois Theatre in the well-known play “The Sailor Husband.” Everyone who saw this play knows the answer to “Why do girls leave home?” I immediately drove to the theatre and procured the last four tickets for the evening’s performance. I then returned to the Andres Hotel, where I was staying during my visit, and spread the lucky news to my three companions. At 8.30 o’clock when the curtain rose, who, to our astonishment, should appear as “The Sailor with a Sweetheart in Every Port” but Clarence Leveillee, the well- known Commcrcitc who took the part of the butler in our school play “Bab.” He certainly had risen to fame with the help of his good looks and his ability to act out his part thoroughly (with all the odds and ends). After the performance we went back-stage to sec Clarence and he received us with a loud Commerce yell—“Whoo- pee.” He invited us to dine with him, and to our surprise, whom should he bring along as the “girl friend” but Carolyn Murphy, who is now secretary to the American Ambassador to Spain, and who is enjoying her work very much. (She would.) She was both surprised and overjoyed to see us and seconded the motion that we all dine together. So we went to the Courts Hotel and there Clarence introduced us to many of the leading stars in his company. After we had finished eating, we all drove back to the Andres Hotel and when leaving we made a date to go sight-seeing the next day with Carolyn and Clarence. After recalling a few other pleasant memories, I “turned in” for a good night’s rest. Mildred Jefferson •« PAGE ElOHTY-TVVO •3- 1 ■ - ■ i = —... I---1 . !

Little was known of him except that he was of Indian ancestry and one of the finest athletes ever to be graduated from Springfield College. While at school in Springfield, Myers earned numerals in every branch of athletics conducted by the college. He played on the varsity football team his last three years, the basketball and swim- ming teams one year, and the track, baseball, and tennis teams two years. His achievements were tremendous in view of the fact that as a college athlete “Chief” seldom weighed over 160 pounds. After he was graduated in 1914, Myers held a coaching position at Hamilton College where he remained until the World War broke out. The lure of action proved to be too great and after training over on this side of the water for some time, “Chief was sent to France as an officer in the infantry. He was promoted for brilliant be- havior while under fire to the rank of captaincy and later transferred to that part of the United States army located in Italy. For a time “Chief” was the chief ranking officer in Italy holding the position of Provost Marshal with headquarters in Rome. Upon his return in 1919 Myers ac- cepted an offer as head coach of a school in Kirksville, Missouri, and with prac- tically no material to work with “Chief “Chief” produced two championship teams in his first and only year there. He was released from his contract at Kirksville, in order that he might accept a lucrative offer from Penn. State, where for four years he was physical director and as- sistant football coach. When Roland A. Esb- jornson resigned at the High School of Commerce to become director of phy- sical education in the city of Lawrence, Mass., Mr. Ellis prevailed on' ‘Chief” to take over the reins. Although the Crimson had tied either Central or Technical several times for the championship in different sports, as it has done many times since, it had never won the football title free and clear until the great team of 1925 swept their inter- school foes as well as other foes off their feet. The Crimson beat Cen- tral in a blizzard 26-0 and Technical 21-0, set- ting up a new record in total points scored against interschool rivals. That team had “Chief” Myers at the helm. Next his team captured the baseball championship and in 1928 the first basketball crown ever held with a clear title. In 1928 his gridiron team again won the interschool crown. It may be said that the athletic teams have progressed under the leadership of “Chief” Myers and that the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship which held sway under Mr. Esbjornson has continued. PAGE ONE HUNDRED-THIRTEEN CADUCEUS Assistant Director of Athletics Robert Q. Elliott obert G. Elliott, assistant coach at the High School of Commerce, has made for himself a prominent place in the educational system of the school. “Bobby,” as he is affec- tionately called, while at the High School of Commerce as a student combined these three qualities: athletic ability, scholastic proficiency, and personality. He was an honor pupil and a three- letter man. He was cap- tain of the football team twice, and led both the basketball and baseball teams. He was chosen all-city center three times and all-Vallcy center twice. He was chosen all- city guard in basketball. The success attained in high school continued when “Bobby” entered Springfield College for he immediately became a student leader. He was awarded a gold watch in his freshman year for all- around ability. He was also awarded a scholarship in 1926 for scholastic ex- cellence. College politics favored “Bobby” as he was an outstanding member on the college Congress and Senate chambers. In athletics he earned his letter in varsity foot- ball, basketball, and base- ball. His college football teammates paid their re- spects to “Bobby” by electing him to captain one of the best gridiron teams to wear the Red and White of Springfield College. Since he was graduated from Springfield “Bobby” has assisted “Chief” Myers turn out some splendid teams. He has coached swimming and hockey. As coach of the 1929 basketball team “Bobby” welded to- gether a club which made an excellent record.

B. Myers, Head Coach Robert G. Elliott, Assistant Coach Robert McKay, Captain Clayton Clapp, Manager Football prospects looked dull for the Crimson when it became evident that the personnel of the Commerce team would be almost the same as the team which lost every game in 1927. But the season ended with the crowning of the team as inter- school champions. Reinstating themselves as they did, the Crimson showed a tre- mendous amount of fighting spirit. Opening the schedule against Cathedral, Commerce faced a team which was destined for a city championship. The Crimson team was practically second string material for “Lcs” Maynard, “Jim” Berry, and Ralph Lewis were on the bench. The offensive work of Herlihy and Murray was notable while the sixty yard dash of Fitzgerald who had intercepted one of Barney’s forward passes, was one of the features of the 20-0 victory for Cathedral. Misfortune followed the Commerce team on the Deerfield trip where the Crimson players were beaten, 26-0. “Jack” Harrington got off several long runs but poor interference coupled with the fact that the Deerfield eleven was exceptionally strong, resulted in defeat. In the Holyoke game on Falco Field, the Crimson had the better of the battle during the first period but at the start of the second period Krause took a pass from Zwirko and raced fifty yards for a touchdown. Soon after Cassidy recovered a fumble and galloped fifty-five yards for another score. Near the end of the half the Crimson took a new lease of life. Gray recovered a fumble, and two passes Lewis to Harrington, placed the ball in a scoring position. Harrington made the touchdown. Holyoke ' - ■ —a ---------- -= ■ — : ---------7 ■- — p- PAGE ONE HUNDRED-FIFTEEN •3 '- . — — 1 . - ■■ ■ —t- CADUCEUS FOOTBALL — Ccmtinued pounded over the line again in the fourth quarter and the game ended with the score, 20-6. “Les” Maynard and “Jim” Berry were in the lineup for the first intcrschool game with Central. The Blue and White kicked to Commerce and the Mycrsmcn marched down the field for a touchdown. The play was all Maynard as far as the Commerce offense was concerned. In the second period “Bob” Steup wove his way through the Crimson team to the four yard line, Knox carried the ball over and a pass netted the extra point, making the score, 7-6. The play see-sawed back and forth until the fourth period when Maynard and Pepin combined in a desperate attack which resulted in a touchdown. Maynard carried the ball over and Sargent drop-kicked the extra point. A hundred mile trip to Springfield, Vermont, to face a championship eleven was the task of the Commerce team on the week-end between the intcrschool games. The Crimson ran the Green Mountaineers ragged the first half, fumbling away tour chances to score. In the second half King, Springfield halfback, converted two Commerce fumbles into touchdowns, the game ending 13-0. Adrian Sargent, flashy Crimson end, was the star of the interschool title game with Technical. It was Sargent who broke through the Orange and Black defense and tackled Tech’s fullback behind the Tiger goal line giving Commerce a safety and a 2-0 lead which proved to be the final score. Thrills galore came in the final quarter when Heim was sent in to try his luck at penetrating the Crimson forward line. Heim, although he had sustained a broken shoulder but a few days before, was given the ball six times in succession and placed the oval deep into Commerce territory. The credit for stemming the Tech, tide goes to Joseph Kawic, substitute guard.

Elliott, Coach Joseph Izenstein, Captain Frank D’Angelo, Manager UTortunate because the majority of their games were played at home, the Crimson quintet looked forward to a successful season. Opening against Enfield, Commerce uncorked a brilliant offensive that completely baffled the Connecticut lads. Walter Pooler started at the opening of the second half to cage enough baskets to total twelve points and give himself high scoring honors. Genero of Enfield hooped three long ones and made six points for his team. The final score was, 35-19. “Lcs” Maynard attracted attention in the game against Easthampton when he scored ten points for the Crimson. Through his good offensive work Commerce led at half time 13-10. A determined opponent faced and outscorcd the Crimson baskctccrs in the second half but Commerce managed to squeeze out a 25-24 victory. Close games seemed to begin with this fray for on the following Friday, Commerce lost a lucky win to Turners Falls. The score at the end of the second period stood 12-11 in favor of the Crimson, but Bush, the diminutive but high scoring visitor from up the valley, had his eye on the Commerce hoop and gave his team the winning points on long shots. The final score was 23-22, with Bush making thirteen of the total. The first interschool game against Central followed and Mastroianni featured by scoring fourteen points besides being the best floor worker in the game. Maynard got thirteen points and the two equalled Central’s total. Steup was high scorer for the Blue and White making eleven points. Commerce won, 43-27. i � • PAGE ONE HUNDRED-SEVENTEEN ■a-1— -=-!- _ _ 1 . !'. — — . --- CADUCEUS BASKETBALL — Continued, The next game was one of the best in the city during the season. The Trade School quintet came up the hill unheralded but handed the Crimson a great lesson in basket- ball. By passing fast, accurately, and cleverly, the Trade School team led at half-time, 15-10. Still leading at the start of the fourth quarter, they had the Crimson quintet worried. The Commerce team changed to a man-to-man defense. Five follow-up shots by Maynard under the basket put the Crimson in the lead and a lucky win fol- lowed, the score being, 32-25. Macosci of the Trade School scored eight points while Maynard tallied seventeen. Playing their first game away from their home court, the Crimson met defeat for the second time when they were downed by Technical at the Boys’ Club, 26-21. The score at half time was in Commerce’s favor, 17-12, but a spiritually dead Crimson team was greatly outplayed in the second half when Lawler and Gnicwash scored 22 fjoints. The game also marked the end of the high school basketball career of Joseph zenstein. Facing Central for the second time, a fighting Commerce team scored its second interschool win when Mastroianni, Maynard, and Berry scored 23 points between them. Mastroianni’s floor work was again a feature. Goode and Hooker were the high scorers for Central. The Commerce margin was nine points, winning 32-23. Traveling out of the city Commerce played the crack Holyoke five and were snowed under, 30-12. An opportunity to tic up the intcrschool basketball crown with Technical was passed up in the Crimson’s next game with the Orange and Black. Mainly through the efforts of Lawler and Vaughn the Tiger edged out a 27-25 victory. Maynard and Berry were the high scorers for Commerce. In a set-up game the Crimson defeated Amherst, 36-4, and in the last game of the season during a second half rally the Varsity topped the Old Grads, 42-36. “Jim” Berry was easily the star for the Varsity while Shastany excelled for the Alumni.

Although weak in the field evcncs the Crimson runners proved to be exceptionally strong. In the four dual meets, the Crimson athletes won fourteen out of twenty firsts, sixteen out of twenty seconds, and twelve out of twenty thirds on the track. In the Interschool Meet, Commerce captured one out of five firsts, four out of five seconds, and three out of five thirds. The leading scorers with the points scored were as follows: Howard Simons, 58$ points; Joseph Curran, 19 points; Alfred Miller, 16$ points; and Ralph Lewis, 13$ points. The Holyoke meet finished with the visitors in the lead by five points, because of the weakness of Commerce in the field events. Commerce took 29 of the possible 45 points on the track but picked up few other tallies except in the pole vault and discus. --------- ------------ ------------ ------------------- - - ■ — ■ PAGE ONE HUNDRED-NINETEEN It CADUCEUS TRACK — Ccmtinucd Probably the most thrilling meet the Crimson has ever had or ever will have for some time was at Amherst with Mass. Aggie. Freshmen. The meet ended a tic score 54 all. The Crimson runners, as usual, performed well, scoring 36 out of 54 points, or twice as many as the M. A. C. Freshmen. Commerce scored well in the high jump and pole vault and was leading until the last throw in the discus when Bartsch made a heave three feet ahead of Boynton’s to step into second place and tic the meet. It was the same story at Enfield, Conn., when the Nutmeggers took the meet with strength in field events. Commerce captured 35 of the 45 points on the track but could only garner nine in the jumps, vault, and shot put. At West Springfield on an uneven grass-covered field the Commerce team was more successful in the weight events and won 49—32. In the local high school meet Howard Simons became interschool 100-yard cham- pion. Captain Hill proved himself an “iron man” by placing second in the century and the furlong as well as third in the quarter. Israel Melnikoff placed second in both the half and mile in blanket finishes. RESULTS Holyoke 48......................................Commerce 42 Commerce 54........................Mass.

Myers, Coach Robert G. Elliott, Assistant Coach Clayton Clapp, Captain Martin Bassell, Manager A. poorly balanced Crimson baseball team had a fairly successful season, finishing the interschool games in a triple tic for the championship. Opening against Williston, Commerce battled for nine innings, and after the lead had changed six times, retired from the fray as the vanquished, by a 13-12 score. The next game was played at Palmer on their anything-bur-smooth field. The hitting of “Hank” Karlon and splendid twirling of Markot enabled the home team to soundly whitewash Commerce, 14-0. Fighting hard to chalk up a win Commerce played Technical in the first of the interschool games. After thirteen innings of real ball playing “Mike” Collins poled out the hit which scored “Howie” DeRose, and won the game, 8-7. More glory came to the Commerce nine a few days later when the Crimson trimmed the Trade School outfit, 14-4. In that contest Captain Clayton Clapp struck out fifteen men. In the fifth game of the season played at Ruth Elizabeth playground the Crimson nine was defeated 9 to 6 by Holyoke. Oddly enough in the encounter the Commerce players hit successfully fourteen times against the visitor’s eleven. ■3 PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE t- • ■' ■ ' ' ' - . . Sfr CADUCEUS BASEBALL — Continued Another stiff opponent, Palmer, followed Holyoke. In this return game it looked for a long time as though the Crimson baseballers were about to avenge the early season whitewash. In the ninth frame Commerce was in the lead, 7 to 4 with “Jimmy” Sutton on the mound. When the smoke finally cleared away Palmer had bunted four runs across the plate to win the ball game, 8-7. The Commerce nine, with the intcrschool jinx overshadowing them, then played its first game with Central. The Blue and White team “slam-banged” its way through to a 6-1 victory. The Mycrsmcn entered the second interschool battle with Commerce a favorite but the superb pitching of “Eddie” Yvon, who hurled a no-run, no-hit game, resulted in a 4-0 score. In the Cathedral game the Crimson made one more hit than their Elliott Street opponents, but bad fielding on the part of Commerce found the Crimson on the short end of an 8-3 result. Determined to tie up the intcrschool title, Commerce played Central in the last game of the season and due to the brilliant hitting of “Red” Sullivan and “Jim” Berry, the Crimson closed their schedule with a 4 to 3 victory. This left Commerce, Central, and Technical in a triple tic for the intcrschool crown. James Sutton was the leading batter in the city and “Red” Sullivan was placed on the all-city team.
