Now. however, Mr. Clarence I. Chatto, who has been connected with the paper for the past eleven years, states that more improvement could and should be madeto promotea larger circulation. According to Mr. Chatto, the pupils of the future should aim to improve the writing and printing of all stories and articles. Accuracy in spelling, espec- ially of proper names; greater use of humor in editorials; attractiveness of editorial and special feature headings; and greater competence in getting out the paper — these would lead to a superior newspaper. Besides the above suggestions, it is thought that greater encouragement could be given students to contribute more of their own original writings, for these contributions add to the interest of schoolmates in reading the paper. Several former students from the jour- nalism classes of the High School of Commerce are now working on promi- nent newspaper staffs, or doing some other outstanding work in the held of journalism. Norma Aronson, a con- tributor of original work, has had a brilliant writing career. She has written stories for newspapers and maga .ines, won several prizes for short stories for the Scholastic Magazine, won the Zona Gale Scholarship which is awarded to only three girls in the United States, prepared one hundred human interest stories for newspapers to aid the Com- munity Chest Drive, and has done many other such pieces of work. Roy Dykstra. Billy Cavanaugh, Steve Lem- anis. and Paul Krause are other ex- amples of Commerce staff students who have distinguished themselves in the newspaper world by doing good work on the city staff of the Springfield Union, sports writing for the Daily Neu-s. outstanding jobs in the business department of the Springfield news- papers, and notable work in the field of news photography. Today we have in our midst Henrietta Decker, a promis- 8 — HIGH SCHOOL mg poet and short story writer, who has kept the Pensive Poet column of Com- merce filled during this last semester, and .wild has contributed generously to the Magazine Section of Caduceus. A very favorable career is forecast for her. In addition to these improvements, Mr. Chatto has stated that he should like to make Commerce a daily paper, thus eliminating the daily bulletins. He would divide the staff into five sep- arate groups, each division having an editor for each department: News, Sports. Features. Editorials, and Col- umns. Every group would l e given a specified day for getting out the paper; thus, the staff appointed to get out the paper on Wednesday could start right in working Thursday on the paper for the succeeding Wednesday. In this manner, each division would have one whole week in which to do its reporting, writing, printing, and distributing of Commerce. The only drawback at pres- ent is that the cost would be too great. However, a change in the student mone- tary system could be arranged if the pupils were willing to give a few extra cents toward promoting their paper in this way. All these things, then, would build up Commerce to the extent of making it one of the most eminent school papers in Western Massachusetts, if not in New England. Naturally it would take much time to carry out these suggestions, but they are well worth considering. IN RETROSPECT In October. 1037. the editorial board of Caduceus, the year book of the High School of Commerce, met with Miss Helen Rankin, the adviser, to make plans for the new book. It was unani- mously decided that the January-June 1938 issue should be dedicated to Com- merce. the weekly publication of the school. During the past twenty-one years students and members of the faculty have devoted much time and energy to Commerce. They have built the paper from a small, monthly magazine to the large and well-written weekly newspaper now printed. Before 1917, Springfield’s three high schools, Classical, Technical, and Com- merce. issued a monthly magazine called the Recorder. After the High School of Commerce had been trans- ( 6 ) OF COMMERCE ferred to its present building, the stu- dents and faculty decided that such a large institution should publish a paper alone; and in 1917 Commerce was founded as a student council project under the advisership of Miss Dorothy Bcldcn, who served for three years. The task of being adviser of the paper was then passed around at regular in- tervals to teachers in the English De- partment. among whom were Miss Bernice Dearborn, Miss Genieve Allen, Miss Lucille Flag, and Miss Roberts, t he council director. The first issue was dedicated to the late Carlos B. Ellis, then principal of the High School of Commerce. The paper boasted eight pages; the sheets were no larger than the loose-leaf note- books which are used in schools at the present time. The paper remained the same in size and makeup until 1921, when Mr. Ham- ilton Torrey, a new teacher at Com- merce, was appointed adviser. He in- troduced the subject of Journalism as part of the English Department during that year, and applied the teachings of this course directly to Commerce. From then on the paper improved immensely in its journalistic qualities, as it was transferred to the hands of the students taking journalism. As a result, many changes were made. The new adviser cut down the number of pages from eight to six, enlarged the sheets to the present size, and introduced the little news boxes, known as ears, which ap- pear in the upper corners of the first page. A single copy then could be pur- chased for eight cents, although the price for one semester was seventy-five cents. In 1924 Mr. Torrey was forced to leave because of illness, and Mr. G. Donald Melville took active charge of the paper. He was chosen because of four years of newspaper experience previous to his entering Commerce. Mr. Melville started the system of using selected pupils to work on the paper. He made two other changes, by reduc- ing the pages to the present number of four, and charging three cents less for one copy. Cow wcrcc experienced another change in advisership when Mr. Clarence I. Chatto came to the High School of Commerce from the Fall River High School in 1926. Ever since his high school days he had been connected with a school or college newspaper. At Fall River High School he had organized the HIGH SCHOOL O school paper. Because of this previous experience he was chosen adviser to succeed Mr. Melville. Before Mr. Chatto came to the high school. Com- merced id not have such novelties as the columns Cubby Hole and Sialic, or the famous Commerce Kitty. Since then there has not been one copy without some unique feature for the readers to enjoy. Mr. Chatto also introduced a pictorial section which appears in Com- merce once every year. These pictures are in the form of cartoons and photo- gravures which present a resume of the year’s happenings at the High School of Commerce. Although issued by this high school, our paper is read by more people than by just the students. Each week many copies are sent out to high schools all over the country in exchange for their publications. Many of the Commerce alumni keep in touch with their alma mater by reading the weekly paper. Business men in Springfield have recog- nized the fact that Commerce can be used as a means of advertising their products, and the school can be proud of the many ads which appear weekly on t he third and fourth pages of every issue. In the twenty-one years since Com- merce was first organized, dissatisfac- tion, curiosity, and industry on the part of its producers have led to the paper which today is recognized as an excel- lent piece of journalism by all its readers. So keen has been the enthus- iasm of most pupils for the paper, that Caduceus, always dedicated to some person or activity outstanding in the school, has shown its appreciation this year by dedicating the year book to the school paper, Commerce. COMMERCE ADVISER As faculty adviser to the High School of Commerce newspaper, Mr. Clarence I. Chatto has developed a system of journalistic training that affords pup’ls unusual opportunity to study English through the medium of newspaper writing. The course he has worked out gives an intensive training, and the class is conducted on a plan which resembles, as closely as possible, the operation of a city newspaper. During the senior year any pupil may choose English IX, the introduc- tion course to English X. which is the more advanced study of journalism. All students electing to take English X, which is under the supervision of Mr. Chatto, must first be approved F COMMERCE — I cither by him or by Mr. Bclding F. Jack- son. who also teaches English IX. Thus it is important that the work of the student of English IX be above the average, if he intends to continue with the journalism course. Mr. Chatto has been intensely in- terested in school publications since he first became acquainted with them as a freshman in high school. Me was born in Sargent ville, Maine, and at- tended a small country school for a short time. College came next. Mr. Chatto received his B. A. and M. A. degrees from Bates and Harvard, respectively. At Bates he was active in the debating society and pursued his literary ambition as president of the Writers’ Club. Before he came to the High School of Commerce, Mr. Chatto held several positions in vari- ous schools in New England. He was principal for two years of the high school in Island Falls, Maine. For five yea is he was principal of the high school at Orono, Maine. Following this he went to Danvers, Massachusetts, as head of the English department in the high school. From there he went to Fall River, Massachusetts. Then in 1926 he came to Commerce as head of the English department. Mr. Chatto is not always engrossed in school work, for he plays a crack game of golf. He coaches the Com- merce golf team, and has often brought forth championship golf material among the boys here. FOUNDER RESIGNS This year Mr. G. Donald Melville is resigning as adviser for the High School of Commerce year book. Caduceus. He took over this work when Caduceus became the permanent year book in 1926, and has served as adviser ever since. Mr. Melville, or Doc”, as he is better known, was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and was graduated from the Hyde Park High School there. Later he went to the University of New Hampshire, where he received his degrees. His college days were somewhat interrupted by the advent of the World War. Most of his war service was spent as a non-commis- sioned officer training boys in prepara- tion for lighting on the other side. He was well equipped for this work, as he had had four years of military training in high school and two years at college. ( 7 ) 9 3 8 CADUCEUS At the close of the war he resumed his college career. He was on the college track team for three years, and was holder of the quarter-mile record. Doc also played inter-class basketball and football at the Uni- versity. After he left college, he spent several months as cost accountant for a con- struction company in Boston. Follow- ing this work, he accepted a position as head of the history department at Cushing Academy. He then went to Manchester, New Hampshire, to a position as sports editor of the Man- chester Union and Lender. During his term as sports editor he was compli- mented several times by his readers because he had his reporters write their stories free from slang expressions, such as splitting the hoop, parting the drapes,” etc. Mr. Melville enjoyed his work very much, although the hours were long and the pay small. He would recommend newspaper work for a single man, but would strongly advise a married man not to enter it. Two years later, in 1923, he came to Commerce as a teacher of geography and history. Utter he extended his teaching to economics and world history. For six years Doc coached the track team. In 1929. as a reward of his efforts, the team received the interschool title. In 1926, when it was decided that the January and June classes should combine to bring out a year book to be entitled Caduceus, Mr. Melville became the first faculty adviser. This position he held until 1930, when he was relieved of the editorial adviser- ship. The 1938 issue will be the last published under his direction. TEACHERS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW 1. How some pupils can learn so thoroughly how to do nothing at all. 2. Why 4 E pupils must stay at home so often to rest. 3. Why the expert alibi pupils can’t write original compositions. 4. How some pupils have learned so little in so many years. 5. Where some pupils store their mental equipment during their senior year. 6. One teacher wants to know why pupils find history dates so difficult to remember, and social dates so difficult to forget. (9) CADUCEUS — 193 ESCAPE Bright thoughts, like flames, burn in my brain And sting the corners of my eyes. While in my heart the deep dark pain Of mcm’ry stirs: and pale ghosts rise To stand and stare and lift their hands In hopeless, tragic, mute appeal, Until I feel the hard, tight bands That hold my soul in walls of steel Snap sharply; then in upward flight My soul wings free into the night. ECSTASY Into my hands I cup the light Of sunshine,warm and sharp and bright, And drink its shining beauty deep. Over my body, waiting still. 1 feel the moonlight slip and spill. While all the world is fast asleep. Upon my face I feel the splash Of raindrops in their mad. sweet dash, Their slanting fingers silver-tipped. Into my ears I hear a sigh Of a running wind, as it rushes by And dries my cheeks, tear-dripped. SANCTUARY Within myself I have a space, A small and welcome resting-place. Where I can close my eyes and be Alone, apart, a spirit free. When all the world’s a dreary round Of people, noise, and empty sound. I shut myself within, and find This hidden haven in my mind. There’s warmth inside, and beauty, too. With dear and chuckling thoughts of you. And throughout all its blessings twined, Is peace with God and all mankind. I WONDER I wonder, when we’re far apart, If there's a place inside your heart That you keep safe, and warm and sweet, For thoughts of me to find retreat? Do you, like me, when we’re apart, Falk to that me inside your heart? And whisper things you dare not say When we’re together for a day? 8 — HIGH S C II O O A POET MUSES by Henrietta Decker LAUGHTER Rich laughter bubbles cool and sweet And flows a rushing, silver stream. Its beauty streaking bright and fleet In liquid flash of rippled gleam. Like healing balm it wets cracked lips. Gone stiff and dry with sorrow’s heat; And deep in barren hearts it drips Slow music’s soft and lulling beat. A WISH Above me far I saw a star That blinked and shone Around me stood A fragrant wood That sighed alone I wished that I Were in the sky A thing apart That I might see The mystery Of heaven’s heart. And then I heard The darkness stirred By mother’s call . . I saw her face, Her tender grace, Her teardrops fall . . . And suddenly It came to me How much I’d miss If I should go, No more to know Her goodnight kiss. MORNING The sun shoots arrows, golden-bright. In swiftly stabbing points of light That prick the slumber of the earth To waken life and day’s rebirth. The wind breathes music, strange and sweet; Then hurries by on winged feet To tangle in the fragrant hair Of tall trees laughing in the air. From chimney-tops grey fingers twist And curl into a thin, pale mist. Then hide behind thick, creamy crowds Of froth and lace -- the morning clouds. ( 10) OF COMMERCE AWAKENING A star came out, and in its light I saw the magic of the night. A su beam shone, and in its gold I saw the wings of dawn unfold. A rosebud oj ened; deep inside, A lone dew-drop had crept to hide. I heard your voice, and felt the beat Of wings against my heart’s retreat. I saw your eyes, and as I gazed Your love for me leaped up and blazed. I could not speak nor understand — Your life — a rose — was in my hand. OCTOBER A mellow moon, a sudden mist, A warm brown earth the sun has kissed, A wild sweet wind, a blazing sun, A hearth-fire when the day is done. A tall, proud tree, its branches stripped Of glory, as the leaves have slipped In rustling whispers, soft and slow. Upon the waiting ground below, Blue grapes in clusters on the vine, And apples red that taste like wine. The smell of woodsmoke in the air. A world that’s laughing everywhere. A schoolboy, whistling in the street A tune that’s young and gay and sweet. A dream, a laugh, a sudden sigh - And summer breathes a last goodby. REMEMBRANCE You came to me in glad surprise With starlight tangled in your eyes. The scent of night was in your hair In tumbled fragrance soft and rare. You came to me in morning mist With laughter in your throat, dawn- kissed; Your hands upcurled to form a cup Of golden dew-drop wine to sup. You came to me in fresh, warm rain, When violets left their purple stain, A strange dark bruise against your heart— While magic tore the world apart. You swept into my life—a song, A rushing wind, a torrent strong; Then went away, to leave just this— The aching wonder of your kiss. II I G H SCHOOL O ESCAPE David was tired. I must have walked miles and miles.” he thought. His hare brown feet sent up little puffs of scaring.dust as he plodded along the sandy road. It was a hot day, and the sun beat mercilessly down on the little boy’s bright, bare head. He wiped the sweat from his face with the back of one grimy hand. In the other hand he car- ried his shoes. They felt very heavy and sticky in his lingers, and he wished he could throw them away. But some- thing told him perhaps he’d better not. He might need them later. His feet burned with the long, painful trudging they had endured. He longed to sit down and rest, but he didn't dare. There was always the chance that he might be caught and taken back. ”1 can’t go back,’’ he muttered aloud, bright tears suddenly glinting on his lashes. Oh, please, God, don't let me ever go back!” It was a lonely road he was on. Ever since early morning he had been travel- ing. and so far had met no one. Once he heard an automobile chugging in the distance; and from his hiding-place be- hind a clump of bushes, watched it go by. There was a farmer sitting in the front, and a lor of tall milk-cans rattling in back. Milk — the thought of it made him ravenous. He had eaten nothing since daybreak, when he had snatched a chunk of dry bread and a few cold potatoes from the kitchen table. There hadn’t been time to go to the barn for some milk. But now he wished he had risked it. His head felt light and dizzy with hunger and fatigue. His tongue felt swollen and parched, and his lips •vere cracked and dry. Never before had he been so thirsty. He could see farmhouses scattered in the distance with the promise of food and drink under their red-chimneyed roofs. Still, he didn’t dare to approach them. A little boy traveling alone would be asked a lot of questions. His aunt and uncle must have sent out an alarm In now. Not that they cared what became of him, he thought bitterly. He was just some one to work, and beat, and ad- dress insulting remarks to. He’d found out, too, last night when he had lain sleepless in his hard cot, that they had been taking the monthly check that had belonged to him. Drunken, ribald, coarse, they had shouted accusations at one another that chilled the boy to his very bones. Sick, terrified, lonely F CO M M E R c E 1 he had stood all that he possibly could. He had waited only until daylight be- gan to streak the sky; then he had run a wav. Suddenly, drawn up beside him, was a big, black car. For an instant terror gripped him by the throat. There had been no sound on the air to warn him of an approaching car. There had l een nothing but the steady hum of insects, and the occasional whir of a lonely locust. As if drawn by some irresistible force — powerful and compelling — the boy stepped nearer the car. There was a figure, wrapped in something cloudy and dark, sitting in the driver’sseat. A soft, radiant glow was about its head. Please get in,” the figure said. David could not tell whether it was a man or woman. The voice was unlike any he had ever heard — low and sweet. with the power of hidden thunder, and the music of violins muted. He was inside the car, settling into a deep, delicious softness. The car was moving without sound. It was as if they were floating. A cool breeze played over David’s face and body. He felt a deep, pervading sense of peace seep through him. Suddenly, for the first time in his life, lie was wildly, su- premely happy. He wanted to laugh and sing and shout. He thought, with wonder, “I’m not hungry any more — not tired, nor thirsty.” He turned to his strange companion. Who are you? he whispered. The figure turned toward him. A great blinding light shattered the dark- ness. David was caught up in a maze of light and music and infinite beauty. There was a wild, sweet singing in his ears. A thousand rushing winds seem to |X ur past him in a torrent of trium- phant beauty. Then David smiled, a smile that he could feel spreading all over him until he was laughing loud and happily. He stretched out his arms in glad recognition, and felt himself gathered close to the warm protection of a loving heart. Farther and farther into the horizon he was carried — deeper and deeper into the rose and gold of the sunset sky........................ When the small band of men found the body of a little boy a few days later, they marveled at the freshness, the sweetness, and the beauty on the little dead face. When they lifted the pitifully light body, one of the men exclaimed suddenly, Look! There on the ground!” 9 3 8 CADUCEUS They all turned, and saw a soft, shimmering radiance as of spun gold just above the small hollow where the boy had lain. The men watched in breathless awe as the golden haze arose into the summer air — higher, higher, and higher until it vanished into the sky. JUST PLAIN ME I dream of things I’d like to l e — A bird, a flow’r, a tall pine tree - A river rushing to the sea, — Anything but just plain me. And yet when I come home and see My mother’s face shine happily, My books — my friends— my brothers three, I’m awfully glad I’m just plain me. LOVE Love is a star that blazes on high, Then fades into mist in a storm-tossed sky. Love is the laughter, the pain and the tears— The pattern of life—and the world— and the years. Love is a song that shatters the air In fragments of colors, glinting and rare— A moment of ecstasy—showers of light— So soon to be gone with the coming of night. Love is a game that people must play With more selfless giving than taking away. Its rules are exacting, its penalties grave, But—oh, what a challenge to those who are brave! MY CREED I love to watch the evening star that winks and blinks above the hill. It smiles a greeting from afar, as ’round about the night lies still. I love to sit beneath a tree and look far up into the sky. And see its blue serenity that does not ask or reason why. But sometimes even these are stirred by dark’ning clouds or thunder heard. So why should we—oh, mortals small —be so surprised when raindrops fall? Each happy moment of this life is shadowed by some earlier pain, Enriched by suffering, toil, and strife. The sun will always shine again. ( 11 ) CADUCEUS — 193 SUNLIGHT Derry thought he was standing be- fore an open window, feeling the morn- ! ing sun hot and pricking on his skin. Laughing delightedly, he stretched his hands forth, letting the slanting rays drip gold upon them. A soft breeze blew past him, bringing with it the scent of flowers, and fresh, damp earth. All night it had been raining. Derry had lain in his small bed, shiver- ing with delight at the soft pit-pat of the rain on the roof overhead. The safe, warm darkness of his room was a thing to be enjoyed, slowly and deeply, like j licking a stick of candy, savoring each taste, making it last as long as possible. Last night the walls of his room J seemed friendly, not as they sometimes were, tall and ominous, looming above him, hemming him in. At such times he would find himself sweating in sheer terror, but he never cried out nor called to anyone — especially to his father. He knew how his father felt about j him. The stubborn way Father had re- fused to look at the still, rounded humps that were Derry’s legs beneath the sheets showed how aware he was of them. Father had always tried too hard I to be bright and gay and nonchalant | when he came into Derry’s room. The darkness behind his eyes he couldn’t hide, nor the uncertainty of his tone. So many times Derry had closed his eyes and wished desperately that he might be able to get over to the window. Just once — even if he hat! to crawl — just so long as he got there. He had pretended to Nurse, to his father, and even to Dr. Evans that he didn’t want to look out of the window. He’d told them that he wasn’t interested in the outside. That, he knew, had been a source of worry to Nurse and Dr. Evans. He hated to hurt them, but he would rather die than be carried to the window like a baby. He wanted to get there by himself. Now, suddenly, he was there. How it had happened he didn’t know — per- haps because he had wished so very hard to stand in the sunlight. Nurse had told him once that if he wished hard enough for something, and prayed hard enough for it, his wish would come true. The room was very still. In the silence he could hear the hard thudding of his heart. He put his hand over his chest to still even that sound. There was something about this silence that was 8 — HIGH SCHOOL so exquisite, like nothing he had ever known before. The pool of sunshine that spilled through the window seemed to grow wider and wider, until all before him was a golden haze. 1 ie was golden; the world was golden; his heart was golden. “I am joy; I am life; I am the sun- light!” The words were like a chant coming from somewhere. No longer could he feel his body. He was air; he was clouds; he was mist. There was a wild, sweet singing in his ears. The golden mist became a shower of sparkling lights, sharp and pointed, stinging him. He felt the surge of life throughout his body, the sudden tin- gling in his legs. Now there was a mo- tion, a power in those legs that for so long had been so still. He could feel it surging higher — higher — higher — His eyes opened slowly to meet the glare of the sun. He had not been at the window after all. He was still lying flat on his back in bed, his arms out- spread. Nurse was bending over him. | her face kind and gentle. He noticed the dark mole on the left side of her chin. He turned his head toward the basin of warm water, the white square of soap, and the thick towels laid out for his morning bath. Nurse was cheery, commenting gaily on the beauty of the morning after I such a stormy night. She bustled about energetically as she talked, stripping off his hot pajamas, sponging water [ over his face. He lay there, passive. I with that peculiar feeling of power in his legs. “I must be still dreaming.” he thought. My legs don’t really feel like this.” Now a little tingle burned in his toes i He lay very still, lest it go away. Suddenly Nurse screamed. Her scream rose to a shout. She left the room in a rush, calling for someone. His toes moved! Moved, I tell you!” He could hear voices in the hall, Nurse's high and excited; Dr. Evans' low and urgent. Above him the doctor stood, fingers probing over his legs. His shrewd eyes missed nothing. There, again — he did it again!” Nurse shouted. There was a movement, almost im- perceptible, but it was a movement. A great light was on the doctor’s face. Nurse was laughing, but tears were slipping and sliding down her face to drop, hot and wet, on Derry’s hand. He lifted his hand, wet with Nurse’s | ( 12) OF CO M MERC E tears, and looked at it. The teardrops glistened golden-bright in the sunlight that flooded the room. I’m really going to walk,” he thought, with a sudden wonder. He remembered those words, I am joy; I am life; I am sunlight!” He said them, watching the tears that sparkled on his hand. SOLITUDE The room is dark and still; Outside I hear the raindrops spill In gentle clatter on the street. The silence, thick, and fraught With tiny, whirling wings of thought, Lies slumbrous in its own heartbeat. The fire glows red; its flames Leap high in twisting golden frames. And flicker shadows on the wall. The moments, bright and fleet, Slip shining by on silken feet In answer to some unknown call. PICTURES A clear, still pool—beside it, you— And sudden sunshine splashing through The green-leaved tangle of the trees. A long, curved road —and at its end A sunset sky where colors blend In gold and purple harmonies. The sharp, stark outline of a tree With arms outstretched in silent plea Against a gray and smoky sky. The swift, bright dash of rain in spring, Its clean, lined beauty glimmering In silver spears shot slanting by. The scarlet maple, bold and gay, Red-headed goddess on display, A blazing glory in the sun. My mother standing, bathed in light; Her lovely face, flushed warm and bright, Bent over me when day is done. SIMPLE THINGS The hidden laughter of a brook, The friendly pages of a book, The far-off whistle of a train That rushes through the falling rain; The glory of the setting sun, The happiness in work well done, The fragrant smell of new-baked bread, A pleasant word that someone said, An hour spent in friendly talk, And afterwards, the homeward walk— When we can love these simple things We’ve found the peace that living brings.

Oh, Commerce High, we hear that call And meet it gladly, one and all, While deep within each beating heart Is aching sadness as we part. Oh, Commerce High, forever be As glad and gay and proud and free As now in youth’s own magic world You reign supreme, with flags un- furled. Henrietta Decker, Words Wanda Zakowich, Marguerite Farnsworth, Music JUNE, 1938 CLASS SONG We must say farewell to Commerce, To the school that we love best; We know that it will help us Up the ladder to success. As we walk along life’s pathway, Whatever work we do; Integrity will lead us, Industry’ll see us through. The days we’ve spent at Commerce High Have swiftly passed away; The faculty and principal Made ours a pleasant stay. We have an education now; We’re grateful cv’ry man. We’ll always remember three great years In the best school in the land.

According to Mr. Masters, placement supervisor, c -Speer-icnce is very im- portant in getting a job Sins-abaugh nine out of ten employers do not take a chance on untried help. To a teacher one of the worst pests is the corridor-II'alker who saunters back Dan-forth in front of the door waiting for the dismissal Bell to excuse his pal. Never put off till to Maurer what you can do today. Mr. Jones was seen before one of the basketball games dropping a ten- dollar bill. It was picked up. but after the game nobody could find Hall-igan, just in Cas-ey wanted to pay the bill. Mr. Smith claims there is no Dowd in his mind that the June’38 class is one of thcl est he has been connected with. Mr. Masters tried to place two boys in good paying positions, but upon ar- rival at his office for an interview one said, “Whi-te you Pink-us? We can get more money from the W.P.A. for less work.” TEACHERS SAYINGS Miss Rankin: ”0, let’s find a belter word. Mr. A. II. Smith: You’re cheating at solitaire. Mr. Theodore Pease: But that isn’t logical. Mr. Guy D. Miller: No, you haven’t reached the point yet.” Mr. Clarence I.

Smith stated that during the five years since he has been Principal of the High School of Commerce, one major change has occurred. This change has been in the revision of the curriculum. During the administrations of Mr. Carlos B. Ellis and Mr. Jerome Burtt, certain academic subjects were re- quired; these included English, history, civics, and economics. The business courses were wholly elective. If a pupil elected bookkeeping, and did not pass, or found that he did not especially like the subject, he was free to drop it and take something else. This also was true of typewriting, stenography, sales- manship, and other business subjects. Needless to say, some pupils did not derive much practical knowledge of business during their high school days here, for often they failed to complete anything that would be of material advantage to them after graduation. Mr. Burtt made certain studies of curricular conditions in the school, but he had not reached the point of making special requirements. “That remained for me to do, said Mr. Smith. Department Heads Help With the help of the heads of the departments, he set up each curriculum in its present form. Gone are the days when pupils frittered away their time jumping undecidedly from one course to another. Now if a student starts a certain curriculum, he must complete it. or he is not graduated from that curriculum. In this respect we are like a trade school, where each pupil is re- quired to specialize in one line of work. “Graduates often come back to tell me how sorry they are that they did not complete one course, continued Mr. Smith. “They have a smattering of typewriting, stenography, and book- keeping, but are not proficient in any of them. “The thing we should like to do next semester is to cultivate a closer acquaintance with the business men who employ young people, remarked Mr. Smith at the close of the inter- view. “This would help placement work very materially.” (64) I. OF COMMERCE MISS ETTA S1NSABAUGH Librarian H.S.C.TEACHER ENDS0UARTER CENTURY HERE Miss Etta Sinsabaugh Also Served as Librarian The year 1937 marked Miss Etta Sin- sabaugh’s 25th as a teacher of History and Civics at the High School of Com- merce. She came here in 1912. At that time classes were held at Central High School. Three years later, in 1915, the High School of Commerce building was completed. Of the present Commerce staff of teachers, the follow- ing were here at that time: Miss Anna S. Danforth, Miss Alice Danforth, Miss Grace Bigelow, Miss Jennie M. Rob- erts, Miss Bernice W. Dearborn, Miss Alice L. Ilalligan, Mr. Warren E. Potter, Mr. Charles A. Campbell, Mr. WAV. Macalpine, and Mr. Howard Kelly. Vassar Graduate Miss Sinsabaugh was born in Port Jervis, New York, and attended the high school there. She received her B.A. and M.A. degrees at Vassar. While at college, she majored in History and English. She participated in many field sports, excelling in ice skating. Several years later Miss Sinsabaugh took special courses under Dr. G. Stan- ley 1 ball at Clark University in Worces- ter on education psychology and child training. Miss Sinsabaugh first taught in Stam- ford. Connecticut. Later she came to Springfield as assistant principal at the HIGH SCHOOL O Myrtle Street School. In 1922, after she had been in Commerce ten years, she became school librarian, and has held the position ever since, in addition to her teaching duties. The library contained 1,000 books in 1922; now it contains 3,700 volumes, due, to a large extent, to gifts to the school by Mr. A. H. Smith, Head of the Social Science Department. In 1935 Miss Sinsabaugh went to Oxford, England, as a representative at the World’s Federation of Education Associations. Two years later she rep- resented the same organization in Japan at a world-wide conference. Due to the state of war existing between Japan and China, Miss Sinsabaugh was pre- vented from going to China as she had planned. She is a member of the Amer- ican Historical Association. PUPILS FA VOR FAIR FINDINGS OF JUDICIARY Created 1932 by Former Principal Jerome Burtt With the conclusion of the fifth year of the High School of Commerce Judicial Board, pupil members report themselves as being in entire agree- ment with the faculty members. Many school problems, such as the revival of the Student Council, and the revision of the school handbook, have been discussed. From time to time, penalties have been imposed for thefts, for in- subordination to members of the faculty and the Boys’ Patrol, and for disobedience to the rules of the school. When the Judicial Board was first organized in 1932, by Principal Jerome Burtt, it was meant to encourage stu- dent government, to prevent mis- demeanors in school, and to impose punishments for serious cases of mis- conduct, both within the school, and on or near its property. The Board has been very successful in its handling of these cases; a proof of its success is seen in the diminishing of the cases to be tried. The procedure of the Board follows closely that of the regular courts. The person who is being tried is given a chance to present his own case. He may be questioned by members of the F COMMERCE — I JEROME BURTT Judicial Board Founder Board, or by one member, usually the captain of the Boys’ Patrol, who acts as prosecuting attorney. A member of the Boys’ or Girls’ Patrol is then given a chance to present his side of the case. The school principal attends these meetings in an advisership capacity only. 'Flic XIIA president presides. Fhe case is discussed by the members of the Board, punishment is decided upon, and the sentence is imposed. In the opinion of Principal Stanley O. Smith, the bringing of a pupil before the Board often is punishment enough for the offender. He thinks that the Board has an excellent effect on the members of the school, especially on those stubborn offenders who feel greater justice is obtained from a group, such as the Judicial Board, than from a single member of the faculty, such as the adviser of the Patrols. On the whole, Mr. Smith thinks that students do not wish to be tried by members of the student body. Make-up of Board 'Flic Judicial Board consists of the following: presidents of the XIIA, and XIA classes; captains of the Boys’ Patrol and Girls’ Patrol; president of the G. A. A.; principal of the school; and the adviser of the Boys’ Patrol. Fhe principal acts as adviser. The secretary for the meetings is elected from members of the Board. Custom provides the Boys’ Patrol captain as prosecuting attorney. The Board meets every two weeks; special meetings are called when there is the necessity for deciding on special cases. When there is no urgent business (65) 9 J 8 CADUCEUS on hand, the meetings arc used to dis- cuss general school problems, and dif- ferent ways of preventing school offenses. In these meetings, the mem- bers of the Board help to keep the principal informed on the general atti- tude of the school towards rules and regulations, as the pupils arc in a posi- tion to know their fellow students. The officers from September to January were Eileen Kehoe, presi- dent; Oiinto Ugolini, prosecuting at- torney; Robert Welch, secretary. The present officers include Sallyanne Rob- inson. president; Joseph Megliola, prosecuting attorney: Henry Sandy, secretary. C. WARD HEADS LIST OF ELLIS SCHOLARSHIPS Kogut, Dorman Honored By Hi- Y; Y.Brault Wins Young Prize Flic pupils of the High School of Commerce evinced much interest, re- cently, over the list of awards pre- sented to their schoolmates during the months from June, 1937, to January, 1938. A board of three directors, in June, 1937, had considered a list of seniors recommended to them as beneficiaries for the Carlos B. Ellis Scholarship Fund. These pupils then had been advised to make applications for the scholarship funds to be awarded. As a result of these applications. Charles Ward was awarded $200; Constance Wright, $100; and Yvonne Ferris, $100. Charles Ward had served as president of his class while at Com- merce, and had been the only boy to win three-year honors in June, 1937. He is now attending the day division of Northeastern University in Boston. Constance Wright, also on the three- year honor roll, had been captain of the Girls’ Patrol. She is enrolled at the American International College. Yvonne Ferris was awarded a scholar- ship, subject to her entrance into Mass- achusetts State College or any other college recommended by the directors of the fund. Another award which drew great interest was the presentation by the Hi-Y club. The boy who had done CADUCEUS — 1 9 3 8 — HIGH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE the most for his class and for the , school was given the honor of having his name inscribed on the I li-Y placque. Stanley Kogut was chosen for the class of June, 1937. While at Commerce. Stanley had excelled in three major sports, and had ! ccn captain of the Bovs' Patrol for two semesters. The | recipient of this award for the January, 1938, class was Irving Dorman. Irving was selected because of his dub work : during his years at Commerce, lie hail served as president of both the Hi-Y and Torch clubs. John S. Young Contest Another award caused, if possible, I even greater excitement. In 1932 I John S. Young, a Commerce graduate, started a contest for those interested in speech. It was decided that each | contestant should compete in one of the June assemblies by orally present- ing an essay. The winner of the contest should have his name engraved on a placque to be given to Commerce by Mr. Young, and to be hung in the school librarv. In 1937 Yvonne Brault. of the class of June, 1938, won this contest. The subject of her essay was j A H’ise Man and His Sayings, an J original composition about Horace B. Mann. Edward Couture was second, with an essay entitled The State Board of Education; and John Payne won I third place on his essay. The Debt of Massachusetts to Horace Mann. After reading the entire list of awards, many of the pupils expressed the desire that they might win one award lieforc they were graduated. MONODRA MAS POPULAR WITH ASSEMBLAGES Crimson Masquers Enact Play in Christmas Program The upper classmen declared that | the monodramas given by five members of the Crimson Masquers in the last assembly of January proved to be the most entertaining program of the year. These monodramas, the result of live months of study, were produced by Malcolm Light, Eugene Zack. Ray- mond I.ord, Ruth Zack, and Ina Nel- son. All costumes, scenery, and make- up were planned by the pupils them- selves. Fifth Row, Left to Rittht: Everett Childs, Raymond Lord, Ruth Zack, Marguerite Farns- worth.

About fifty of the interpretive recitations were pre- pared. From these, ten were finally chosen at a popular contest held in November. The five given in the assembly were the final choice of the club from the first ten winning con- testants. Planned Drama Course Mr. Doane expressed much pleasure in the progress of the club, which he organized last September soon after assuming his duties as a teacher of English in Commerce. Having been interested in dramatics, Mr. Doane was planning a course in drama. Another success was scorer! by the Crimson Masquers when they enacted Why the Chimes Rang, for the Christmas assemblies. Performances of this play were given to both upper and lower groups by Malcolm Light, Eugene Zack, Marjorie Mills. EugeneComeau, James Tippett. Genevieve Bienevienz, Mary Zani, Robert Chapman, Carl Winterlc, and Robert Reid. The Crimson Masquers not only studied and enacted dramas, but also enjoyed social activities. As soon as the ice permitted, members of the club went up to Barney's Pond at Forest Park and skated. To close their ac- tivities for the year, a final semester party was given in honor of their ad- viser, Mr. Doane, who was to leave Commerce at the end of January. Miss Mildred B. Jenks, of the English department, took over the advisership of the Crimson Masquers after Mr. Doane left. She is following the same general ideas which were initiated by Mr. Doane. The officers of the club from Sep- tember to January were Robert Reid, president; Eugene Zack, vice-president; Marilyn Holmes, secretary; and Mal- colm Light, treasurer. The officers from January to June are Ina Nelson, president; Ruth Zack. vice-president: Marilyn Holmes, secretary; and Ray- mond Lord, treasurer.

CLASS NIGHT A CTIVITIES COMBINED WITH BANQUET BY JANUAR Y CLASS Miss Madeline Maurer Selected Adviser; Original Group 275; “Melody Cruisetf Chief Social Event During Three Years Contrary to the customary routine, the Class of January, 1938, eliminated Class Night as a feature of the activities of the senior class of the High School of Commerce. The history, usually given that night, was read at the banquet, which was held January 25, 1938. The graduating class of January, 1938, began its XB existence in February. 1935, as a group of about 275 eager, uninitiated boys and girls, anxious to learn what life at the High School of Commerce held in store for them in the ensuing three years. Their conscious- ness of class unity began with a meet- ing on February 20. when Miss Made- line Maurer was introduced as class adviser with her assistants, Miss Irene Horrigan, and Mr. Charles Speer. After the usual preliminaries, the fol- lowing officers were elected: Eileen Kehoe, president; Elia Nubile, vice- president; Dorothy Fronk, secretary; Theresa Baldarelli, treasurer; and Edna Johnson, member-at-large. At the end of the semester, Miss Irene Horrigan was transferred to Classical; Mrs. Elizabeth Ullery was asked to replace her as assistant adviser. The XIA semester held no major events, but in XIB a social was planned. This dance, named the “March Hare Hop,” was scheduled for March, but because of the flood disaster, had to be postponed until June 4, 1936. At this social those who attended were re- minded of the book Alice in Wonder- land. Admitted by the frog and fish footmen, they were greeted by Alice as they entered. To make the guests feel at home, life-like figures of Alice’s friends were standing around the gym. Another class meeting, held during XIB semester to elect new officers, re- sulted in the following: Pasquiena Ugo- lini, president: Stanley Maslowski, vice- president: Eileen Kehoe, secretary; and Ruth Gamble and Nathelie Burstein, members-at-large. As XIA's the class of January, 1938, sponsored the annual Christmas party at which the members of the Home for the Aged were the guests of honor. Gifts were presented following an en- joyable entertainment. Again in the XIA semester new class officers were elected: president, Eileen Kehoe; vice-president, Martha Schal- uck; secretary, Marjorie Serafino; and (67) CADUCEUS — 1938 — HIGH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE mcmbers-at-large, Beatrice O’Connor and Shirley Kravitz. The XI Hi semester included a Fresh- man Reception, given to the Class of January, 1940; and a social on May 21, 1937, when over one hundred couples went sailing on a “Melody Cruise.” In the middle of this year Miss Grace Bulkelev replaced Mrs. Elizabeth Ci- lery as assistant class adviser. The XIIA class held its promenade, January 21, 1938, at the Municipal Auditorium. On that night the seniors and their companions gathered for one of the most eagerly awaited events of their three years. The Class of January, 1938, carried out its innovations to its very last day by dispensing with Class day. During the day the girls and boys strutted the halls attired in caps and gowns, enjoy ing their “little day upon the stage,” and exchanging photographs with their classmates. At noon they were excused from school, never to return again. The banquet, held January 25 at the Hotel Kimball, was a high-light in the school career of the lives of about one hundred and seventy-five boys and girls. JENKINS FILM STAR; EILEEN KEHOE FIRST WOMAN ASPIRANT FOR MA YOR SAY PROF. BRILL ING, DR. SCRIBBLE Harriet Kinkade, As Secretary to U. S. President; P. and O. Ugolini, Judges; Ruth Gamble, Actress, Other Predictions Professor Abdella-Freudson Bribing, scholarly, worldly-wise psychologist, and Dr. Palmer Scripturus Scribble, F.F.F., an eminent authority on graph- ology and a former associate of J. Ed- gar Hoover, were guest speakers at a banquet given for the class of January, 1938, on January 25, 1938, at the Hotel Kimball. After being introduced by Martha Schaiuck, vice-president of the class, Professor Bribing and Dr. Scribble gave reports on the astounding dis- coveries made in connection with sev- eral class members, predicting their future careers. Professor Bribing, in her report, pre- dicts that Bernard Schreyer will lie campaign manager in 1950 for Eileen Kehoe, who will be the first woman in Springfield to run for mayor. Bib Jenkins, it is her belief, will become the star of the Tar pen films, to be produced in 1950; while Shirley Kravitz will be- come a cosmetician and proprietor of a beauty salon. Professor Bribing also mentioned that Lena Lambertini will lie editor of the Springfield Union, the first woman to hold that position; Martha Schaiuck she sees as a stage actress. Anita Ghiandoni, the professor said, will be a stenographer to her twin cousins, Pasquicna and Olinto Ugolini, who in turn will be judges of the Court of Domestic Relations. Among those on their staff will be Melvin Snow in charge of Behavior Diagnosis, and Marjorie Serafino, Supervisor of Child Training. Dr. Scribble’s report included an analysis of handwriting, showing how certain characteristics in handwriting reveal future events. He saw Rita Shea as a modiste in Paris; Frances Foisey as Superintendent of Nurses in a large hospital; Celia Grasso as a cashier in a motion picture theatre; and Tony Afflitto as a sports reporter and radio commentator. Harriet Kinkade, he predicted, will be secretary to the president of the United States; Emma Grundstrom, a screen actress: Ruth Larkin, a court According to the will of the Class of January, 1938, made public January 25, its entire estate was bequeathed to teachers, friends, and classmates. The document under consideration reads: To our esteemed principal, Mr. Stanley O. Smith, goes our apprecia- tion for his whole-hearted co-operation in making our school years most en- joyable. From Lucille Coburn to Ruth Wood, this pair of stilts to help her to “rise above the babble of the crowd.” From Mary Barnett to Rita Rubin, a fish pole to help her to catch more laddies. stenographer; and Katherine Hacha- dourian, a combination dancer and housewife. The doctor further predicted that Ruth Gamble will become an actress on the legitimate stage, later marrying a playwright; while Bib Hurley will succeed the police officer at State and Maple Streets, after being voted the most popular policeman on the force. Professor Bribing and Doctor Scribble are members of the Springfield Bureau of Psychological Research, Dr. Scribble being formerly associated with J. Edgar Hoover in the United States Depart- ment of Justice. Eileen Kehoe to Sallyannc Robinson, this gavel to insure a good presidential term. From his law classes, Mr. Masters is honored with this set of cards to write future assignments on. To Mr. Miller we donate this poster toward helping out in the next G.O. Campaign. We pass on to Mr. Jackson this copy of Lincoln $ Gettysburg Address, to en- able him to continue his oratorical pur- suits, such as have been quite evident at G.O. meetings.

As Miss Maurer simply adores(?) the works of Edgar A. Guest, her thoughtful class bestows upon her one of his best books.

Mr. Melville’s darlings wish to aid him in stressing a favorite point: so leave him a picture of Moses to remind his pupils of profits. Miss Halligan will have plenty of headaches next semester, and we thought a box of aspirin would help. Since Miss Rankin’s pet hate is dis- loyalty, she will be presented with a red flag to hold aloft whenever anyone tries to back out of a job he has agreed to do.

Attornevs-at-Law: Harriet Kinkade Beatrice Wells Witnesses: Xathelie Burstein Lucille Coburn Wanda Zakowich Gino Rossi SALLY ANNE ROBINSON, JOHN BREGA MARGARET BRACEBRIDGE, LEADERS IN JUNE CLASS ELECTION RESULTS Malcolm Hanson, Class Optimist; Yvonne Brault, Chatterbox; Mike Dunne, Heartbreaker; Fred Carmody, Bluffer; and Ina Nelson, Class Mixer Among Those Chosen A gala party for the seniors was sponsored on June thirteenth by the Ballot Committee at the prominent It’s the Truth Club. Three months before, the June Class of 1938 had held the greatest election known in their history, when they had chosen their favorite celebrities from among their classmates to hold positions best suited to them. The winners were guests of honor at the social gathering. Among the noted participants of the affair were none others than President Sallyanne Robinson and Vice-president John Brega. Sallyanne and John, who had done the most for the class, tried to aid in the management of the party. Fred Carmody tried to bluff his way in; no one was surprised at his success. Two other gay deceivers, William Gormbley and Marjorie Flanagan, who had been voted teachers’ pets, at- tempted to get on the right side of the sponsors, just as they had succeeded in doing with the Commerce teachers. The air about Sallyanne Robinson and John Payne implied that they were going to amount to something and be successful in their careers without this favoritism. The popular John Brega and Mar- garet Braccbridge, seen in the midst of the class throughout the evening, questioned Kenny Callahan, the class pessimist, who was afraid the club was going to be raided. However, his op- timistic friend, Malcolm Hanson, who thought otherwise, told him it was im- possible. In the same group, Victor Moreno, better known as Scrooge, was finding fault with Bob Desmond and his wit. Yvonne Brault, the perfect chatter- box, reported that she had seen Mat- thews Powers under Eleanor Fitz- i gerald’s window doing their version ! of the Romeo and Juliet act; while Henry Supinski and Florence Giorgi were seated in a corner, being con- servative and quiet. Rosaire Meunier and Ingelborg Esche, class grinds, were discovered in an opposite corner talking of their beloved homework, and humming the ever popular song, School Days. Not far away Felix Fazio, woman-hater, and Betty Burke, man- hater, were getting friendly. They were interrupted by Rita Reuben and Tony Egnalowich, who were trying to sec who could make the most noise. It was hard to tell who won! Laughing I at them were Ina Nelson and John Brega, who mixed in with every one. An egg beater could not have done a better job. Mike Dunne, who had succeeded in (69) 1 getting a night off, was another ce- lebrity present. He broke some more hearts by just ignoring all the beautiful girls, while Catherine Eastman was doing the same with the boys. Only Bill Gormbley and Helen Johnson were unmoved; they were found sitting in front of a mirror admiring them- selves. My! my! such conceit! Later Hill left Helen and went walking with Margaret Holt. The reason? To show the class what the well dressed man and woman should wear during the summer. On the dance floor, Matt Powers and Shirley Moore did a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers act. The two athletes, Stan Maslowski and Helen Heinz, were also on the floor exercising their feet. Bashful Ray Leary was afraid to ask bashful Eunice Hill to join the dancers. Joseph Megliola and Margaret Braccbridge did some line attracting with their pleasing personalities. Later handsome Jo.: left Margaret to go with pretty Dot Briscoe. Both had been interviewed by a movie scout. The oddities at the affair proved a great attraction. Dwarf Fred Carmody was having a terrible time with giant Ruth Wood. He did not know where she was half the time. Near them, Phyllis Cross, the human dictionary f CADUCEUS — I 9 i 8 — HIGH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE was seen carrying around with her nothing other than a dictionary! She just could not part from it. Above the gaiety and laughter a shout of “Foo! was heard. Could it have been any other than Bob Desmond, who had been voted class foo? Some one overheard Matt Powers and Eleanor Fitzgerald ask the mu- sicians, Nelson Monical and Dorothea Tetreault, to play You're a Sweetheart for them. As the party ended, an announce- ment was made that Margaret Molt, Georgia Ryan, Rita Murphy, Joan Koretz, Raymond Szymczyk, Matthew Powers, William Gormbley, and the chairman, Peter L’rekcw, the Wonder Workers, better known as the Ballot Committee, had voted themselves the most ingenious of the class! BEQUESTS OF JUNE CLASS READ AT FINAL BANQUET; UNDERGRADS BENEFIT BY OFFICIAL DOCUMENT Moreno's Priceless List Left to Richard Scott; Jane Toohey Receives John Brega's “Gift of Gab After surveying its overwhelming assets, both material and immaterial, and taking note of its enormous wealth, the June Class of 1938 decided that instead of having an estate to be ad- ministered after death they would make gifts of their possessions and thereby escape the heavy inheritance tax. The representatives of the class, having consulted good legal authorities and knowing the value of early action on such matters, have deemed it wise to make public at this time knowledge of the following disbursements: 1. To Mr. Smith, our principal, we give our sincere thanks for the pleasant years at Commerce that in later life we will recall with deep appreciation and pleasure. 2. To our Class Adviser, Miss Alice Halligan, we extend our hearts in genuine admiration for the tine work and efforts she made in our behalf. Machine to Miss Flynn 3. To Miss Helen Flynn, our As- sistant Class Adviser, we donate this talking machine with no motor so she will be able to say all she wishes, when she wishes, and nobody, least of all the machine (being specially built), will be able to interrupt her. 4. To Mr. Will Macalpine, our other Assistant Class Adviser, we present one of Muriel Quackenbush’s greatest necessities, this bottle of peroxide, in case his snowy hair should ever turn grey with worry. 5. To the undergraduates we leave all the choice bits of gum they may find beneath the senior lunch tables with the warning they will find it second hand. 6. Sallyanne Robinson makes a present of this gaval with an extra long handle to the next 12A president, so he will be able to quiet those unruly students at class meetings. 7. From the storehouse of his most valued treasures Kenneth Callahan presents to Robert Finn this book, How to Grow a Mustache, in 20 Easy Lessons. 8. Victor Moreno sadly, but wil- lingly, parts with this list of girls, a priceless possession, to Richard Scott, but pleads for a carbon copy. 9. Andreana Anastos leaves to whoever are interested these yeast cakes with the advice they put them under their report cards to help their marks to rise. 10. Dorothy Herbert gives her most distinctive gift, her Dutch bob, to any freshie who is too young to have a permanent. 11. Joseph Megliola refuses to part with his dark good looks, but grants the privilege to all who are envious, of gazing at him by the hour. Monical Donates Fiddle 12. Nelson Monical donates his priceless fiddle to Joe Zieminski, with the request that he never play Minnie the Moocher. 13. To Ruthie Woods we leave this periscope, so she may see above the heads of the freshies in order to know where she is going. 14. John Brega will henceforth be speechless, because he leaves his gift of gab to Jane Toohey, who intends to join the Ladies’ Afternoon Bridge Club. 15. To the undergraduates, we leave the privilege of walking where we once walked, sitting where we once sat, and answering the questions in Mr. Clancey’s law classes that we couldn't answer. 16. Tommy Poulos leaves one of his soulful glances to Howard Welch so he may become a Commerce heart- breaker. 17. To the G. O. goes our thanks for the many fine times they have given us. 18. To Earl Pennington we give this curling iron so he will not be wasting his money on expensive wave lotions. 19. Ruth Lciper leaves all the wrinkles she gained while being Editor- in-Chief of Commerce to any person whose face can stand the strain. 20. To Phyllis Frisbie we give these spare tonsils, for we feel that she must need them after laughing that abnormal giggle for seventeen years. 21. To the boys' patrol we leave these strait jackets to confine those students who refuse to obey the rules. Anchors to Carmody 22. To Fred Carmody we donate these anchors to hold him down so he can’t shoot up any higher. 23. To the library we present these pails filled with the tears of the gradu- ating class, caused by our sorrow at leaving the school. 24. To our principal, our class ad- visers, and our teachers we give our heartfelt thanks for the patience, the understanding, and the pleasure that will cause us to remember the time we spent at Commerce as three of the most pleasant years of our lives. The able attorneys of the class, Helen Johnson, Barbara Beebe, and Thomas Poulos witnessed the signing of the class representatives of the legal document by which the title of the aforesaid items were transferred.

It will be based primarily upon the present doings of the Com- merce June Class of 1938. Mr. Cal- lahan has just returned from a week- end cruise during which he collected some valuable information on this subject from a number of friends and well known journalists who accom- panied him. During the largest part of the press conference Mr. Callahan related to reporters what he discovered by questioning his associates on the recent trip. From Mr. Norman Terault of the Boston Herald, Mr. Callahan learned that Miss Alice Flynn was the star of 'Fed Pecka’s new stage show at the Poulos Theater; that their rivals for the Boston audiences at the new Capi- tol show were Miss Violet Macdonald and Mr. Fred Carmodv, singing stars; and Miss Lillian Braden, comedienne. Mr. Michael Dunne, Hollywood idol, it was learned, was appearing in person at the Metropolitan Theater. Monical Maestro Miss Pearl Gosiewski, Boston Times correspondent, related to the reporters at the press conference what she had previously told Mr. Callahan. While witnessing the opera, Aida, at the Boston Opera House, she had noticed that one of the leading parts was taken by the celebrated Miss Elizabeth Stonerod, and that Maestro Nelson Monical was conductor of the orchestra, of which Miss Jean Porter, Miss Hen- rietta Richmond, Miss Dorothea Tet- reault, and Mr. Dion Bartolucci were members. She also noticed that Mr. John Grimaldi had designed the pro- grams which were printed by a Guilbert Bros. firm. Miss Ruth Lciper of the Evening Transcript informed Mr. Callahan that Miss Madge Flore, Miss Ruth Jersey, Miss Charlotte Mooney, and Miss Dorcas Graves had worked on the Transcript movie poll to select the five best dancers in filmland. Among the winners were Miss Shirley Moore, Miss Rita Reuben, Miss Helen Austin, and Mr. Matthew Powers. Miss Mary Lynch, who represented the Boston Traveler on Mr. Callahan’s trip, told of the Massachusetts affili- ated clubs, headed by Miss Sallyannc Robinson, who had been president of the June 1938 class. Miss Lynch said that the treasurer of the club, Mr. John Payne, had told her of the many members and leaders of the affiliated clubs throughout the state who at one time had been members of similar Commerce organizations. Miss Joyce Woodard, Miss Alice Johnson, Miss Helen Hoar, and Miss Marjorie Flanagan represented the various Springfield clubs; while Miss Alice [ Fyhr, Miss Muriel Cook, Miss Eleanor Fitzgerald, and Miss Helen Jani- szewski represented those from Boston. Stan, A1 Testify Testimonials by Stan Maslowski and Al Abrahamson of the New York Giants were discussed by Mr. Victor Moreno, advertising manager of For- tune, who accompanied Mr. Callahan I on his trip. Mr. Moreno pointed out i also an article in Fortune giving the 1 set-up of Marshall Field’s great de- partment store, which employed Mr. William Gormbley as manager, and Mr. Felix Fazio and Mr. Edward Zdrojkowski as assistants. Cook’s Tourist advertisement showed that Miss Elaine Farmer, Miss Janet Hanley, and Miss Adeline Cirillo were among the American servants working in European hotels. Mr. Edward Norris and Mr. John Brega were also managers of fine hotels, according to Fortune. Through Miss Helen Meyer, a re- porter who does her commuting by air, Mr. Callahan discovered that Miss Ruth Mabel, Miss Georgia Ryan, Miss (71) Jeanross Sclzam, and Miss Mary Clark were earning their livings as air hostesses. Miss Meyer, who re- cently returned from New York, claimed that she had visited Salo’s Fifth Avenue store where she had recognized five of her former class- mates: Miss Doris Cook, Miss Muriel Quackenbush, Miss Beverly Simpson, Miss Catherine Eastman, and Miss Anna Fenton. In a select ready-to- wear shop, Miss Meyer discovered the proprietors to be Miss Margaret Holt, Miss Marion Bowen, and Miss Rita Alix. Some valuable information for the new novel was received from Mr. Joseph Megliola, Washington cor- respondent of the Times, who had interviewed the recently wedded cor- poration lawyer, Mr. James Carmody. At a recent labor conference, Mr. Megliola discovered the powerful labor leaders, Mr. Robert Bean and Mr. Peter Urekew, being interviewed by Miss Sylvia Katz, Mr. Malcolm Han- son, Miss Mary Keane, and Miss Barbara Beebe, correspondents for Chicago and St. Louis newspapers. Eating Prizes to Mador Mr. Allan Mador, who has won prizes for eating, offered the informa- tion that Miss Charlotte Snyder and Miss Dorothy Bridgeman are running competitive restaurants, where the head cooks are Miss Helen Johnson and Miss Katherine Pfrommer. Mr. Mador had also noticed that employed by the Massachusetts Life Insurance Company are Miss Jane Kociuba, manager, and Miss Ruth Wood and Miss Louise Sanvidotti, assistants. Miss Mary Barnett and Miss Virginia White were found to be branch man- agers of the same company. Miss Beatrice Cadieux, brilliant radio columnist, who had taken the boat trip as a favor to Mr. Callahan, divulged the fact that the three stars of the new Beech-Nut program will be Miss Ina Nelson, Miss Dorothy Linne- han, and Miss Phyllis Cross. Miss Cadieux also revealed that the feud between those two popular radio com- ediennes, Miss Myrtle Otis and Miss Dorothy Herbert, was just a publicity stunt. CADUCEUS 1938 — HIGH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE Included on the Boston University teaching staff, according to Miss Rita Murphy of the jVcu- York Sun, are Miss Eleanor Peabody, Miss Signe Ahlberg, and Mr. Tony Egnatowich. While traveling south this past spring. Miss Murphy found out that Mr. Victor Bleau and Mr. Raymond Leary were promoting a Share Croppers Housing Project. Nearby it was dis- covered that Miss Lucille Edson, Miss Mary Cieciwa, and Miss Andreana Anastos were teaching school in a small community. It was from Miss Anastos that Miss Murphy found out that Miss Betty Dykeman, Miss Margaret Bracebridge, and Miss Phyllis Frisbie no longer needed husbands. Mr. Callahan believes that with this material to work from he can write a novel fast enough to keep his three secretaries. Miss Doris Cushing, Miss Alice Easton, and Miss Welma Lee man, busy for quite a while. The author was not willing to give any release date on his new book, but it will probably make its appearance in the book stores in the early part of next year. MURIEL COOK, ANDREANA ANASTOS, LARRY GUILBERT RELATE HISTORY FOLLOWING JUNE CLASS BANQUET Great Flood, Organization of Girls' Patrol, First Junior Honor Roll Among Events in 1938 Records During their banquet on June 13, 1938, the graduating class displayed a surprising understanding of the periods in history, cause and effect, and the social changes. By applying their tremendous learning, they gave their class history to an interested audience of teachers and classmates. Larry Guilbert related, in more or less ancient style, the history of the freshmen activities. Andreana Anastos. appearing in medieval garb, told of the daring deeds of the XIB and XIA semesters. Muriel Cook closed the history by representing modern times. Piloted by Plato Piloted by Plato, Larry Guilbert observed his classmates during their ancient freshmen days of 1935. Jimmy Carmody, newly arrived; model classes in intellect and behavior; shy little girls at their first socials—all glided away into the past. Ripples of excite- ment were seen during the flood days when strange bustle and hustle filled the halls, while the Boys' Patrol maintained order among the refugees. Though the gazers yet lingered, their wee bark began to dissolve, even as had their first year of senior high. Entering on a snow-white charger, Andreana Anastos as haughty Queen Elizabeth then told of the daring deeds of her fellow knights and ladies during the junior year of the Class of '38. The Radio Workshop had been begun; the Girls' Patrol organized; the Hindenburg had passed over the school; but the most important had been L)cceml cr fifteenth, election day. flic following had been vic- torious: Sallvannc Robinson, presi- dent; John Brega, vice-president; and Jane Kociuba, secretary. A precedent was established when Mr. S. O. Smith had announced the first Junior Honor Roll in the history of the High School of Commerce. On it were Andreana Anastos, Martha CoojK?r, Doris Cushing, Janet Hanley.

Big Event 'fhe big social event of the year had been the Junior Promenade, a success in spite of a rainy night. Immediately following this, another election day had recorded Sallyanne Robinson and John Brega re-elected as president and vice-president; and Margaret Brace- bridge, secretary. So had ended the junior year. Arriving in the latest 1938 parachute, Muriel Cook next brought reports of the current senior year. Sallyanne Robinson, John Brega, and Margaret Bracebridge were again the officers of the ’38 class. A harvest hop had started off the social year, with music by Norman Temple and atmosphere provided by haystacks and pumpkins. Big appling” was a feature of the evening. As a highlight of the Christmas season, Mr. Viggiano presented in a ( 72) beautiful Christmas concert the glee clubs and orchestra, in which there were many members of the senior class. Washington’s birthday eve was the scene of the G. O. dance given for G. O. members and their guests. As the saying goes, “A pleasant time was had by all.” The long awaited Senior Promenade was a great success with swing music, soft lights, and girls in fluffy, swishv gowns dancing to the rhythmic strains of Milton Ebbin’s Orchestra. Soon came the gala affair of commencement week, the banquet, held on June 13, 1938. at the Hotel Kimball. Two days later, graduation exercises at the Auditorium on June 15, 1938, closed the high school activities of the ’38 class. Into the swirling mists of the past rolled another class, which, like all those before it, dissolved into history. WHAT THE SENIORS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW After three years of puzzling, the curious seniors ask the teachers for some hints as to the missing first names. (7. Donald Melville O. Jean Bell L.

HIGH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE — 1 9 3 8 — CADUCEUS JONES’ INTERPRETA TION OF CHA TTO’S POP PL A Y PLEASES MEMBERS OF GENERAL ORGANIZATION Standing Left to Right: C. Donald Melville, Marlon II. Davis, Charles A. Speer, Catherine Casey, Harold V. Jones. Sitting: Dorothy M. Maftraw, Bolding F. Jackson. The sometimes dignified teachers of Commerce presented the members of the G. 0. with a hilarious drama of modern life at the popular G. 0. Pop. on May'27 of last year. Mr. Clarence I. Chat to, English department head, broke into the limelight as a playwright with a successful all faculty play, en- titled A Farmer’s Daughter, or A Pigpen man ship Romance. Although it was Mr. Chatto’s first attempt along this line, every one prophesied a successful career for him. The audience greeted their new dramatic writer and each brilliant star with shouts of laughter and loud applause. Hal Jones, assistant coach, won great laurels as a dramatic artist in his first attempt behind the footlights. He stole the show in his portrayal of a dumb but honest young man in love with his boyhood sweetheart. Hal’s excellent performance in this role brought many hearty and sympathetic responses from his audience. Mrs. Dorothy Magraw, formerly Miss Mor- row, made a big hit as “a tough little sprout , with her short skirt, large pink ribbon, and her big apple. Her cavortings on the stage were much appreciated by her audience. Mr. G. Donald Melville, our track expert, turned in a superb performance as J. Stockson Bond, a city apple, rotten to the core. Mr. Melville was a very convincing villain with his sneers, high hat, and the usual wide- flowing mustache. Miss Catherine Casey, a graduate of the High School of Commerce, who has been a faculty member since 1931, was the heroine, and the object of the affections of Hal Jones. Mr. Holding F. Jackson, ad- viser of the Bovs’ Patrol, and Mrs. Marian H. Davis, stenography teacher, gave sterling performances as Reuben Reuben and Maw Reuben, father and mother of the heroine. This all faculty performance was discussed among the students for many a day. Not only was the wording on the programs humorously catchy, as evi- denced by the quotations already used, but on these leaflets were many witty advertisements, written by Mr. Jack- son. One notice offered to have Mr. Parmenter, who was interested in his family tree, trace anyone’s ancestry as far as the Mayflower for $10.23; and back to the Ark for $34.50. Another advertisement encouraged students not to l e satisfied with plain E’s” on their report cards, as they could be furn- ished in all sizes, shapes, and colors by the printers of the school paper. The Mohawk Press. Special reductions were offered to the three latter E-men of the school. Before the play, the audience was entertained bv outside talent. A (73) German band, originating in Class- ical High School, opened the program under the direction of Elbert Von Croplev, of Classical. 'This was fol- lowed by a very fast moving and en- joyable dance routine given by Miss Emily Foster, 'lech High’s champion amateur. Next came one of the most appealing parts of the program, the interlude furnished by Gene and Betty, Coach Myers’ son, and the little girl next door. Gene and Betty are about five years old, and their novel dance routines were certainly enjoyed by an appreciative audience. A Hawaiian string ensemble from WMAS provided an entertaining few minutes with their rhythmic native melody and also new . world swing. The presentation of an old Charlie Chaplin Short”, which was guaranteed not to be shown in any other local theatre in 1937, closed the program. One of the factors which turned the movie short into a howling success was the brilliant work of Bert Green, well known local orchestra leader, who throughout- the presentation played on the piano, and added greatly to the effectiveness of the pictures at certain incidents occurring on the screen. He brought back the days when in every 1 theatre someone was banging on a ] tinny piano. JEROME BURTT ORIGINATOR OF BOYS9 PATROL Functions to Enforce Rules, Protect Property The Commerce Boys’ Patrol upholds certain rules of the school: no smoking, no stealing in the locker rooms, and no going into the halls during classes without a pass. The Patrol was founded in 1931 by Mr. Jerome Burtt, who was then principal of the High School of Com- merce. By him Mr. Stillman E. McKerlcv was chosen as adviser, a position held until he was promoted to a position at City Hall in September, 1937. His successor was Mr. Belding F. Jackson.

The play was written and coached by Mr. Harold E. Taylor, faculty adviser of the Commerce Hi-Y. The moral of Mr. Taylor’s drama, which was the putting of duty before desire, seemed to be both understood and appreciated by the pupils. The cast, the stage hands, the property man, the announcer, the scenery painter, and the lighting effects man were all Hi-Y boys. Throughout the performance music was provided by Mrs. Harold E. Taylor, Nelson Monical, the band, and the boys' glee club. Miss Helen (75) Norrgard helped with the designing of t he scenery. In the play, Sir Edwin Hulme, who decides to go on what he believes is the last crusade, leaves his nine-year old son, Robert, to be educated by the monks at the Monastery of St. Albans. However, before leaving he makes the monks promise not to in- fluence Robert into joining their order. Twelve years later a pilgrim comes to the monastery, bearing the news of Sir Edward’s death. Robert. u| on hearing the news of his father’s death, decides immediately to become a monk, and prepares himself accordingly. He is taking his final vows when the service is interrupted by two of his father’s friends who have come to tell Robert that although his father is ill and blind, he still lives. In the climax of the play Robert decides that his duty to his father is greater than his obligation to the monks; therefore he decides to return to his father. After a touching scene in which the monks bid the boy fare- well, Robert leaves to join his father, while the monks chant in the distance. In addition to the two assemblies, the group put on a performance before the Union Congregational Church in Fine Point.

GIRLS9 PATROL COMPLEMENTS WORK OF BOYS Group Organized Upon Request of Pupil Delegation In 1936 a group of girls was dele- gated to see Mr. Stillman McKcrlcy concerning the founding of a girls’ patrol. He consented to their desires, and the Girls’ Patrol soon was started under Mr. McKcrlcy as adviser. Since then, however, Mr. Belding F. Jackson has succeeded him. The Patrol is on duty during the two lunch periods. The officers from September to January were Eileen Kehoe, captain; Martha Schaluck, senior lieutenant; and Helen Karetnuk, junior lieutenant. 'The present officers include Louise Sanvidotti, captain; Helen Karetnuk. senior lieutenant; and Dorothy Cruick- shank, junior lieutenant. The members not in the picture in- clude Anita Armstrong, Margaret Bracebridge, Agnes Brass, Althea Cheeseman, Muriel Cook, Adwilda The Springfield High School Radio Workshop, consisting of about fifty members from Commerce, Classical, and Technical, under the direction of Miss Genieve M. Allen of the English Department of the High School of Commerce, successfully completed its second season of broadcasts over WSPR in May. The programs included plays, ; musicales, and a series of scripts on ! natural science from the United States Department of the Interior. The con- tent of all programs was under the censorship of Mr. Harry B. Marsh, assistant superintendent of schools. “These programs, said Miss Allen, place emphasis upon the training of the ear and mouth for better speech. The speakers become conscious of the necessity of a pleasing voice. Any detail which interferes with ready understanding by the radio audience is bad.” she continued. Members are taught to recognize what social usage considers desirable and undesirable. 'The best actors, lecturers, and radio announcers are considered models of good taste in speech. This high standard is also maintained in the music used in the broadcasts. The workshop has presented pro- (76) grams for the Chamber of Commerce the Women’s Club, the Greater Spring- field Safety Council, the Springfield Public Forums, and the Springfield Community Chest. Mock broadcasts have been presented before the Hamp- den County Federation of Women’s Clubs, the Motion Picture Council, the College Club, the High School Women’s Club, and the High School of Commerce Assemblies. The officers of the club are William Gilman, Jr., Classical, president; Ken- neth Connor, Commerce, first vice- president; Jack Shea, Technical, second vice-president; Winifred Grandy, Com- merce, corresponding secretary; Marie Williams, Technical, recording sec- retary; William Kervick, Jr., Classical, treasurer.

A Christmas concert, one of the j most ambitious programs ever given by the musical organizations of the High School of Commerce, was given on the evening of December 21, 1937, under the direction of Mr. F. Anthony Viggiano, director of music. Mrs. Dorothy Birchard Mulroney, municipal organist, and Mrs. Alice Stusick. harpist, were the assisting artists. The pupil participants included the orches- tra of 25 pieces, and a chorus of 100 chosen from the junior girls’ choral club, the boys’ glee club, and the newly organized a capjxrlla choir. The fresh young voices, admirably schooled, gave much pleasure to the large audi- ence. Mr. Viggiano's wide experience as a choral director was evidenced in the fine work of the chorus and of the a cappclla choir. A feature of the program was The Wondrous Story, a six-part cantata of the birth of Christ. The text was writ- I ten by Raymond Earl Bellairc; the music, by Richard Kountz. The story included The Shepherds, The Angel Choirs, The Three IFi’.ve Men, Into the Town of Bethlehem, The Manger, and Christmas Dawn. Mrs. Mulroney played the pastoral symphony from The Messiah; Christmas by Dcthier; Cantique de Noel, by Adam; and Variations on a theme by Rousseau, by Faulkes. She also as- sisted the chorus and the orchestra. Mrs. Stusick gave much pleasure as she played Priere, by Hasselmans; Reve, by Oberthur; II Retorne del Pastore, by Bellotti; and Silent Night. Holy Night, by Gruber. Joy to the World, and 0 Little Town of Bethlehem were sung by the chorus «accompanied by the organ. 0 Come, All Ye Faithful, The First Noel, Ilark, the Herald Angels Sing, and Silent Night were presented by the chorus, orchestra, and organ. (79) A special feature of the program was a brass quartet composed of Malcolm Hanson and Kenneth Roberts, trum- pets; Joseph Zieminski, trombone; and Robert Leach, baritone.

Objects Five Feld; Stage Debates During Year In a recent interview with Miss Hazel Miller, adviser of the Arcopa- gitica club, it was learned that the name “Areopagitica originated from the Greek word “Areopagus,” a hill in ancient Athens where wise men held council. The objects of Areopagitica are five fold: to practice public speaking and debating; to promote friendship among the members; to develop leadership and personality; to strive for high scholarship; and to promote the best interests of the High School of Com- merce. Three or four debates and two social meetings are held each semester. All meetings, conducted according to par- liamentary law, are in charge of the officers of the club. Short business meetings are also held once a month. The outstanding event of the club each semester is the formal Senior Debate. Four seniors debate on a vital social, economic, or political problem of the day. Members of the faculty are the judges and guests. The Areopagitica club was founded in October, 1917, under the adviser- ship of Miss Gertrude Sibley. Since that day it has had a continuous record of twenty years under the guid- ance of Miss Mary E. Larkin, Miss Madeline E. Maurer, Mrs Frances B. Haynes, and the present adviser, Miss Hazel K. Miller. The officers of the club from Septem- ber to January were Marjorie Seralino, president; Pasquiena Ugolini, vice- president; Henrietta Heap, secretary; and Anna Pomerantz, treasurer. The officers from January to June are Andreana Anastos, president; Anna Pomerantz, vice-president; Dorothy Totten, secretary; and Mary Yahnig, treasurer. The members of the club who were not in the picture are as follows: Mildred Butts. Jean Ferrara, Helen Luty, Muriel Miller, Velia Mantoni, Yvonne Turner, and Lottie Wolnick. DISCUSS MODERN PROBLEMS AT COMMERCE TOWN MEETING Weekly Gatherings Held Under Guidance of Mr. Perkins With more than twenty pupils as members, the Commerce Town Meet- ing, a new club established in the early fall of 1937 to discuss modern problems with the usual freedom of the American youth, meets every Tuesday at 2:30 in Room 315 at the High School of Com- merce. Here the members, under the direction of Mr. William Perkins, history teacher, informally discuss social and political problems. The group, first called the Discussion Club, and later the Commerce Town Meeting, was originated by Georgia Ryan, who interested those who be- came the charter members, and se- cured the cooperation of Mr. Perkins, former adviser of the Stoaphilos Club. Live problems that have been dis- cussed during the year include Boycott of Japan, Censorship of the Movies, How to Improve Commerce, Radio and Education, and How to Improve One’s Education. The officers from September to January were Georgia Ryan, president; Sidney Berkowitz, vice-president; Rita Murphy, secretary; George Hellyer, sergeant-at-arms; and Elinor llind- ricks, treasurer. The present officers include John Colby, president; George Hellyar, vice-president; Avis Grindle, secretary; and Elinor Hindricks, treas- urer. The members are Anita Armstrong, Rita Alix, Esther Bennett, Annette (86) Bousquet, Dorothy Bridgman, Mary Bogan, Katherine Cullinane, Mary Fenton, Jean Ferrara, Lorraine Grave- lin, Claire Gelineau, Alma Grindle, Ada Iluot, and Irene Valiquette. vexations 1.

Chatto Coach Ethier Hits Lowest Score in Local League RONCARATI CAPTAIN Crimson Loses But One Match During Season Defeating the Trade Heavers 15—9 brought the Crimson Raiders their first interschool golf championship in the history of the school. The victory also avenged a previous defeat at the hands of the Blue and Gold golfers. In addition to winning the cham- pionship, Commerce gained the dis- tinction of scoring the most points in a single match when they submerged the Cathedral representatives, 20 to 31. Harold Ethier, consistent match winner, registered the lowest score in the interschool league when he com- pleted the course in 77 strokes in the match with a strong Classical team. The Raiders traveled to Holyoke to take on the home aggregation at the difficult Mt. Tom course, and came back with a 7 to 1 victory. The team was coached bv Mr. C. I. Chatto, head of the English depart- ■ ment and adviser for Commerce. Major letters were awarded to Captain Gaetano Roncarati, Alfred Albano, Peter DiPietro, Edward Carr, and Harold Ethier. Alterio Gallerani, who could not play because of the 19-year age limit, served faithfully as manager and assistant to the coach. For this service, he was awarded a major letter. Joseph Carestia, Dante I Provini, Herbert Litchfield, and Robert Shea were recipients of a minor “C”. ! For the first time in the hist or v of ' ' the school, an intra-Commerce golf tournament was staged. Edward Carr rose to the Championship against stiff opposition from his teammates.

H. B. Myers, won three, tied two, and lost five games. The charges of “Chief Myers in- augurated the 1937-38 interschool hockey season by gaining a 3 to 3 tie with Trade. I.ed by William Turner, rookie center, who scored two un- assisted goals, the Raiders went into a four way tie for first place. In the second game, the Red Raiders came from behind in an overtime period to gain another tie, this time with Tech, 2 to 2. Turner again proved himself a hero by driving in the tying count. Peterson scored in the first tally. I.ed by its fast skating forward line of Kibbe, Turner, and Peterson, the Crimson sextet tripped Cathedral by a 6 to 0 count. Peterson and Turner garnered three goals each. Vito Maratea coasted to his first shutout. The first defeat suffered by the Raider combine came at the hands of a more experienced Wilbraham Acad- (88) cmy sextet. Hatcher scored the only goal for Commerce in their 4 to 1 loss. “Sonny” Turner again came to the fore in a game against Classical, when he scored on a solo trip to provide the margin of victory for the Raiders, 1 to 0. Maratea was formidable in the goal. The loss of Peterson proved to be too great a handicap for the Crimson during the remainder of the season. The first game against Trade resulted in a 5 to 2 loss. Turner and Kibbe scored for the Raiders. Ferranti was the big gun for the Heaver sextet. The second straight defeat after HIGH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE — 1938 — CADUCEUS Second Row. Left to Rifiht: Mr. K.

The lone goal for the Raiders was tallied by Whitaker on an assist from Turner. Maratea’s performance in the goal was noteworthy despite the one-sided score. Bertelli Stars Inability to bottle up Bertelli, brilliant Cathedral center, resulted in a 3 to 0 loss for the Raider sextet. Douglas, goalie for the Purple, earned the distinction of being the first to shut out the Crimson attack. Showing a complete reversal of form, the Crimson attack came to life in an overtime period against Classical for a 2 to 1 win. Kibbe tallied both goals, one on an assist from Whitaker, and the other, on a pass from Turner. William Turner, ace center, was named on the “all city” team, while Kibbe received honorable mention. Turner was an outstanding performer all season, the circuit’s leading scorer, and a fine player on defense. To top off his laurels, Turner was elected honorary captain by his team-mates at the completion of the schedule. The major awards were given to Frank Bonavito, Philip Grace, Hubert Hatcher, Russell MacDonald, Vito Maratea, Russell Peterson, Captain William Turner, and Raymond Whit- aker. The minor awards were given to Anthony Balboni, Harry Cressoti, John Letourneau, Lloyd Reed, and William Young.

The Jonesmen wound up in second place in the interschool league and un- tangled themselves to find that they were in fourth place in Western Massa- chusetts competition. Captain Tony AfTlitto as fullback, and Frank DeCaro as halfback were selected on the annual all city mythical eleven as a result of their brilliant play. Forty goals were hung up by the Crimson while the opposition had to be quite content with eighteen. Lud- low, Tech, and Trade were the only outfits to best Commerce. Starting the season with eight veter- ans, the Jonesmen went to town against Monson 3 to 0. From the opening whistle the Crimson was master. Ed Carr netted two goals and DeCaro sunk the other. By virtue of a goal late in the thire! period, the powerful Tech team gained a 1-0 verdict over a determined Com- merce outfit. Whip West Springfield The West Springfield combination, coached by “Pop” Fielding, although displaying a very aggressive brand of soccer, just couldn’t stop the Crimson hooters. The result was a 3-1 win for Hal Jones' charges. Commerce kept the soccer ball roll- ing by pinning a decisive 6-1 on a game Cathedral team. Carr led the scorers with two goals. The Crimson defense was so strong that goalie, Stan Mas- lowski, had but three saves during the entire contest. Ludlow, always a championship club, drubbed the Crimson 4-1. The soccer jinx, the Classical Bulldogs, was barely beaten 3-2 by a brilliant last half come- back by the Commerce boys. Tony AfTlitto decided the issue by a penalty shot after Sonny Turner had tied the affair with two goals. The Cathedral Panthers were the first victims of Commerce in the second round of interschool play. Bremner, 8 — HIGH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE Fourth Row. Left to Right: .Mr. Harold W.

The Crimson coasted along and scored almost at will. The rampaging Tech Tigers again took Commerce over the hurdles by the previous score 1-0. Following the score which came in the first three minutes of play, the outfits battled on even terms. Although slightly off form Commerce tucked away its sixth win of the season, 4-0 over Monson. Again the Joncsmen went on the road to defeat West Spring- field to the tune of 4-2. Defeat again struck from the edu- cated toes of Ludlow High's soccer players. Only fine defensive work on the part of Tony AfTlitto, who played goal because of an injury, kept the Jutctowncrs’ score to two goals, while Commerce went scoreless. Trade fol- lowed suit by pinning a 2-0 defeat on the Crimson. Unleashing the most powerful attack of the season, the Crimson, led by Don Bremner who scored five goals, knocked Classical all over the playing surface for an 8-1 victory. Avenging a previous defeat, Com- merce ended its season by smearing Trade 3-1, thereby annexing second place in the school race. RAIN HAMPERS CRIMSON NINE; FINISH SECOND Ted Zieminski, Kogut, Creanza Make All-City Jupe Pluvius proved to be the most formidable opponent to face the Com- merce baseball team throughout the season. Although they were rained oui of twelve contests, the Crimson boys managed to play nine games, winning and losing four, and tying one. The team, coached by Chief Myers, estab- lished itself as lone holder of second place in the interschool baseball league. Technical High again won the title. Ted Zieminski, Stan Kogut, and Pete Creanza were selected on the annual all city nine. Mike Feldman was named on the second team. The Raiders lost their first two games, 3-2 to Holyoke and 10-1 to Tech. Feld- man gave up but four hits in his mound debut. The major awards were given to Captain Anthony Afllitto, Donatd Bremner, Edward Carr, Frank DeCaro, David Jones, Stanley Maslowski, James McMaster, Albert Retchin, Robert Serra, Norman Tippett, William Turn- er, and Manager Melvin Snow.

The Cathedral Panthers again met defeat before the powerful Crimson guns. Fourteen hits were consolidated off O’Herron to give Commerce a 12-8 triumph. The Raiders’future looked dark when Joe Zicniinski was pounded from the mound by a Trade twelve hit spree pro- ducing nine runs, while the Commerce boyscould count but three. A last game win over Classical 4-2 clinched second place. Ted Zieminski, batting safely in all nine contests, led the Commerce team with a .444 average.

Seven veterans, forming the nucleus, and a large array of recruits comprised a team averaging around 160 pounds. Willie Jenkins, starring in all games, was made captain of the all city eleven, playing left end; also, he won the dis- tinction of being named end on the All Western Massachusetts mythical team. Vito Maratea placed as left tackle on the Springfield Union’s all city team. Finishing the season in a blaze of glory the Myersmen created a three way tie with Cathedral and Trade for third place in inter-school competition. Ten touchdowns, three by Bonavito, two each by Jim Carmody, Zieminski, and Jenkins, and one by Hurley; four extra points, by Zuccalo, Zarlingo, J. Carmody and Zieminski; and one safety gave Commerce 66 points for its cause while 57 were rolled up by the opposi- tion. It was a toss-up as to who would win the schedule opener. Displaying a fine running attack and brilliant aerials in the last quarter the Raiders made their debut a victory over Amherst 6-0 in the final two minutes. Frank Bonavito slashed over his tackle from the two yard marker. West Springfield’s air minded eleven was absorbed 33-0 as the Raiders Hashed on to their second straight win of the season. Powerful line smashes, a blocked punt, and intercepted passes all contributed to the victory. The (91 ) 'Perrier’s main threat, a passing attack, was completely bottled up. The Crim- | son eleven scored in every period, and closed with two in the final stanza. Jim Carmody tallied twice, and Hurley, Bonavito, and Jenkins each scored once. Three straight interschool losses were suffered by Commerce. The powerful, championship Technical High machine rolled over the Crimson 26-0. From the opening whistle the Orange and Black combination held the cards. The Tiger backs took turns ripping the Raiders’ forward wall for long gains and would have done more had not Willie Jenkins CADUCEUS — 193 been in the lineup. Willie had a hand in practically every defensive play. A slightly favored Cathedral High team caught Commerce on the rebound to pin a 12-0 verdict on the Myersmen. A recovered free ball and a blocked punt in the first four minutes of play led to the Panther scores. Any possible chances the Raiders had to register goals were spoiled by continual pass interceptions by the Purple backficld. Classical’s Bulldogs, favored con- tender for the interschool crown, barely eked out a 7-6 triumph over a game Commerce outfit. An 80 yard march in the opening minutes of the game gave Classical its score. In this game Joe Zieminski scored the initial Crimson touchdown in the interschool league on a recovered Bulldog fumble. Defeat no longer smirched the Raid- — HIGH S C II O O ers’ slate when Trade fell before a strong Commerce attack, 8-0. From start to finish the Crimson outran, out- passed, and altogether outplayed a baffled Beaver outfit. Two blocked punts led to the scores. Zieminski's touchdown clinched the Crimson tri- umph which was the first one in two years of interschool play. Thedreamsof an up-and-coming, un- defeated. unscored on, and untied Chic- opee team for a perfect season were blasted when Danny Pietroniro’s passes found the hands of Jenkins and Bona- vito for touchdowns in the last game of the season. Jim Carmody's extra point rush won the fray 13-12. Long marches featured this contest. Chicopee, led by Wacelitz, scored its first touchdown on an 80 yard drive. The final Chicopee I.

Baskets by Collins, Ugolini, and Langone in the dying moments of the tussle en- abled the Crimson to chalk up a hard- earned victory. With Stan Maslowski scoring 19 points, the Crimson Raiders crushed (92 ) Amherst, 45 to 21, for the fourth suc- cessive win of the season. Collins also performed brilliantly, contributing eight points. An undefeated Holyoke quintet left Springfield with its only black mark when the Crimson Raiders combined forces to eke out a 21 to 18 victory. Maslowski’s basket and Jenkins’ free try provided the margin of victory. II I G H S C H O O L O F C O M M E R C E — 1 9 3 8 C A l U C E U S A hitherto undefeated Crimson five was stopped by a hustling group of Trade Heavers, who annexed a 34 to 19 triumph. Holochuck, diminutive forward, led the Blue and Gold attack, while Maslowski was high man for Commerce. A fast-breaking Crimson team threw a scare into the lech Tiger ranks be- fore being subdued, 39 to 34. Tech reserves proved to be a vital factor in the Orange and Black triumph. Collins and Maslowski led the Com- merce attack. Throw Scare Into Tiger The Raiders returned to the win side of the ledger by taking the yearling forces of Cathedral High into camp in the crowded to capacity St. Michael’s hall. Stan Maslowski featured with nine points, while Jenkins and Ugolini were a stone wall on the defense. Baskets by Thomas Collins and Stanley Maslowski in a three-minute overtime period gave the Crimson Raiders a 31 to 27 victory over Turners Kalis in the home gym. Olinto Ugolini’s two-pointer in the final seconds was the margin of victory in a return game at Chicopee. Stanley Maslowski was the big gun with 19 points, while the defensive tactics of Jenkins and Ugolini were above par as usual. Classical Gives Opposition The Crimson Raiders annexed their ninth victory in 11 starts by virtue of a 25 to 20 win over Classical. The Bulldogs pressed until the closing minutes, when baskets by Yvon and Maslowski put the game on ice. Jenkins, and Ugolini played their last game, graduating at mid-year. Lan- gone and Donahue became scholasti- cally ineligible. For the second time during the season, Trade tripped the Raiders, this time by a 39 to 24 score in a game which featured the foul shooting of both teams. Trade tallied 11 points from the line of least resistance while Commerce annexed 12 through the same medium. Holochuck was the big gun for Trade with 15 points, while Stan Maslowski tallied 12. The Tech Tiger followed Trade’s example by taking the Raiders into camp for the second time. Tech’s Vic Raschi set the scoring for the winners with 15 markers, while Bobby Yvon and Bobby Serra did some good work for the Crimson. I-ady Luck completely abandoned the Crimson in the last three scheduled games, which were lost by one point. A vastly improved Cathedral five nosed out the Raiders in the final seconds by virtue of Carney’s free try. Maslowski aided the Commerce cause with 13 points. The dazzle of the modern Turners Falls gymnasium was too much for the Red Raiders, who lost a 46 to 45 contest on the newly built floor. A rousing rally in the last three minutes enabled the Powertowners to nose out the Crimson combine. Maslowski contributed 19 points to a losing cause, as the Raiders showed an unusual scoring power.

XIB GIRLS WIN COURT CROWN XB Team Loses Chance For Tie When XIA’S Forfeit The XIB class gained the champion- ship in the interclass basketball series this year. For a while, the XB and XIB teams both had four victories to their credit, but on the day of the XIB-XIA clash, the XIA team was forced to forfeit the game, because of the insufficient number of girls who turned out. This forfeiture which gave the XIB team the lead over the XB team brought the championship to Captain Jean Jerrold’s snappy sextet. The final scores made by the various class teams were: XIB, 5 won, 0 lost; XB, 4 won, 1 lost; XA, 3 won, 2 lost; XIIA, 2 won, 3 lost; XIA, 1 won, 4 lost; XIIB, 0 won, 5 lost. The members of the winning XIB team are Jean Jcrrold, Captain; Ste- phanie Wegiel, Mary Wood, Lydia Proven sal, Sallie Manning, and Helen Sarandis, her team mates. Although the XIIA team won only two games and dropped three, they established a record in that it is the first time that there has been a XIIA team, because of the apparent scarcity of senior girls who played basketball. The XB team showed considerable promise in rising to the position of second place, and by next year it should be a well-coordinated team, capable of capturing the title.
