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

EDITOR’S EXPLANATORY PAGE To clear the minds of classmates, we, the editor s of the Commerce Candid Camera issue of Caduceus, wish to explain the art cuts created by Miss Marsden’s clever commercial classes. Surely the frontispiece for the January group needs but little explanation. Who could mistake those three commanding confederates? On the extreme left of the cut stands the con- scientious class president, George Hellyar. Cen- tered, is the secretary, charming Rena Libera. The courteous vice-president, Robert Finn, is seen at the right. Not to be outdone by this group, the June class is also represented by a unique cut. On this sheet under the creditable secretary, Avis Grindle, are the pictures of the cheerful vice- president, Rosamond Ellord, and the courtly president, Henry Sandy. In all of the other art cuts, the candid snap shots of students, in various moods and modes, illustrate the kinds of activities that follow in that particular section. These pictures need no explanation, for by their outstanding work in school activities, the pupils wil! be easily recog- nized. And here we wish to extend our appreciation to Ida La Mountain, editor of the Snap Shot Corner, for her splendid and helpful aid in securing snaps for this issue. Also we cordially desire to thank all who contributed to our Here and There section. As most of these word pic- tures were not written by the editors, we en- deavored to print under each sketch the name of the author. Some, however, were sent to us anonymously. It seemed that co-operation crowned Caduceus. Epitor ELEANOR MUSES Page 12
