FOREWORD Our alphabet, once merely the insignia of an infant stage of education, came into national adult prominence about 1933. Soon thereafter American citizenry, fas- cinated by the possibilities in letter com- binations, turned to crossword puzzling over these ER eee Nene es ViAed car crale Fab alae sn iy Wat MC AKC KC etc. Commerce, loath to presume to com- petition in the New Deal game, at first resisted the fascination. In time, however, caught by the spirit of competition, and stimulated by the influence of a Commerce photographic club, the school became cap- able—that is critical, if capricious—con- noisseurs oj .G.sijor the GCC aissicvon Caduceus, the Commerce Candid Camera.

TEACHERS Men and women, cheerful or cross, tall or short, thin or not so thin—these comprise the staff of teachers at the High School of Commerce. Their knowledge, if put down on paper, would fill dozens of books, hundreds of books—whole libraries! In fact, we at Commerce have teachers who have written books; those who will write books; those who would like to write; and still others who prefer merely to read. Our teachers seem to be authorities in all imaginable subjects; art, business, English, science, modern languages, home economics, social studies, stenography, music, and physical education. Ah, the y are such an inspiring group to dream about; if only they wouldn't ask us to think! Arlene Bartels THE OMNIPRESENT TEACHERS Teachers! Everywhere you go, from the rock-bound coasts of Maine to the sunny shores of California, in Timbuctoo—perhaps in Tibet— there are always teachers. Why? Did you ever see a class of children in the first grade, and later watch the same pupils when they were seniors? The twelve years that have elapsed seem to have transformed youngsters, humble and conscious of their ignorance, into lordly beings with self-confident demeanor and un- limited knowledge. And teachers have wrought this metamorphosis! Omnipresent, even though not omniscient, these instructors are in every school. In spite of a senior’s belief in his own importance, the school could operate without him. But could it do so without its teachers? Mary Brogan Page 10
