Field Day Contestants LEFT TO 1UG11T Mr. Thomas Collins. Mr. Stanley O. Smith. Mr. Gilbert C. Walker. OF HUMAN INTEREST Were our faculty members to be judged by their human understanding, they unquestionably would rate tops! In addition to instructing, our teachers willingly have served as conscientious advisers of our classes, yearbook, news- paper. clubs, and of all school activities. For example. Com- merce Capers or Field Day could not have materialized with- out the co-operation of the faculty. The school spirit of our teachers? Surely that is ! Their cogent support of the Cherub Month contest almost surpassed that of the invincible juniors! Certainly the sin- cere understanding and eager co-operation evidenced by our faculty have resulted in an appreciative student realization that teachers are truly Of Human Interest. I 7 I

Owi Although Cherub is fondly familiar with the members of the Commerce faculty, he nevertheless has conferred with hi co-workers, the Caduceus editors, before presenting to you. his video audience, the very human qualities of your teachers. Naturally, the mascot first pictures the school enlrunce. Just inside stands Mr. Smith, serenely watching the pussing parade of students from his office door vantage point. His amusedly interested blue eyes, and sincere, fatherly smile evidence a benevolent, personal interest in the welfare of all his “Commerce children. Discerning students are attracted by the contagious aura of comfortable fumiliurily. an inte- gral part of sympathetic S. 0. S. Approaching the office counter. Clicruh greets Miss Dan- forlli. a woman rather in the tradition of New England, with her reserved, yet forceful manner. Although she seldom has occasion to speak to students, her attentive eyes reveal a complete understanding of those who experience the privi- lege of meeting her. Next.

Lynch. dCwnan J’ocully smile and quiet humor suggest a possible leniency, the firm set of her mouth reveals a determination proved by the posi- tive negativo given to counter loungers seeking absurd privileges. As he leaves the office, the Caduceus Kmcee waves to Miss Murphy. Exhibiting her usual responsive maimer, she cheerfully is smiling while she solves one of the innu- merable problems confronting a student. Near the office door. Cherub notices a familiar figure, hips usually compressed malter-of-faelly. but potentially in readiness for one of bis geniul smiles. Doc Melville unper- turbcdly saunters down the hall. Seeing him thus, many puzzled Commerce Newtons vainly have endeavored to dis- cover why, his pants, worn low around the hips, always have resisted the impending disaster of gravitational force. Before he ventures further. Cherub attempts to secure a pass from our Assistant Principal. Darting around the cor- ner. lie discovers efficient Mr. Ubiquitous Williams, who apparently is noticing everyone and everything. For in- stance. while greeting one student, he suddenly whirls about to question another, all in llie space of a few minutes.
