Mr. Charles H. Oswald GIAAS Seon OUeyg Class of January, 1939 REMEMBER Three hundred freshmen, frightened and green. In the year ‘36 came on the scene. Seniors seemed haughty; school was so grand— Scared little freshmen in a strange land. The High School of Commerce! How long we had waited for the day! The grandeur of it all thrilled us, although at first we encountered more trouble than we'd ever dreamed of! Seniors merrily sent us to the wrong rooms, and derived much enjoyment from seeing our wide-eyed members travel several times around the halls in search of those elusive study rooms, 132 and 231. But then came a sobering incident, the flo od of 1936, which brought sadness to many pupils. Commerce was turned into a refugee center where students and faculty alike lent a helping hand. It is impressive to note that we began our high school days just three hundred years after the founding of Springfield. In May, the Anniversary Pageant was presented at Pynchon Park to commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of Springfield. Splendid, indeed, was the part our girls played in this unusual presentation. Perhaps a more impres- sive occurrence to us as freshmen was the passing of the ill-fated Zeppelin, Hindenberg, over our school. The entire school left the building to view the giant craft. Startling to us was the later news of the tragedy. Freshman days over—juniors at last! Three hundred students proud of their past; Making school history, building each day Records of usefulness; sure of the way. In our junior year individuals began to stand out. Although not quite twenty-one, we had a chance to vote. After our advisers, Mr. Charles Oswald, Mrs. Margaret Palmer, and Mr. Gilbert Walker had been chosen, we elected Robert Welch, president; Robert Finn, vice president; and Elizabeth Roach, secretary. Several of the important parts in the play, Why the Chimes Rang, were played by members of our class. This play was given as part of the Christmas assembly in honor of the aged guests from the city homes. At the close of our XIB semester, the Junior Honor Roll was announced.
