MORE PROFILES DELINEA I ED BY THE VIDEO EMCEE Entering 223, Cherub mentally praises Miss Phelps per- sistent crusade for meticulous perfection in speaking and writing. Later, he finds this same emphasis on written work in his home room. 105. where Caduceus editors sing the praises of quick-witted H. E. R.. who possesses that rare In the doorway of 118. Cherub spies Mr. Stone, who teaches with the assurance of an experienced traveler. With him stands unassuming Mr. Taylor, the quietest of the quiet teachers • yet what a master of history! Just now. he is praising Miss Walker’s efficiency in checking lost keys. ability of keeping her classes interested and amused by her contagious sense of humor. With her left eyebrow raised. Miss Rankin is. and always will be. the Cherub of every Caduceus class. Also enthusiastic about its adviser is the Commerce staff. Sitting at her desk busily correcting papers. Miss Roberts frequently interrupts her work to answer ques- tions in her quiet, expressive voice; then with a gracious smile, she quickly resumes her task. Continuing his tour, the Emcee overhears a Patrol member lauding Mr. Rumpul's patience in coping with all problems. Revealing further pride in his fellow workers. Cherub next sighs over Miss Schlosstcin's naturally curly hair, hazel eyes, and trim figure, which provoke u twinge of envy from even her youthful physical education enthusiasts. As the muscol steps into a class- room. lie realizes how many a dull duy has been brightened by Miss Scott's gay ensembles, featuring a complement of perfectly mulched accessories. He then visits another cheerful teacher, ruddy-faced Mr. Shipway, who at that moment is standing before the blackboard, graphically illustrating an economic theory. Next door, Cherub admires Miss Smith's unusually clear enun- ciation, so often reflected by those she teaches to read the Bible for the weekly assemblies. The Emcee’s attention is next claimed by a distant buzz of machines. In room 113. he realizes that the relaxed con- tentment of the class results from the genuine amiability of philosophical Mr. Walker. Two doors from here, he pauses to watch Miss White, whose gracious self-control appears to tranquilize the long queue of girls waiting to consult her concerning their Connie-Commerce creations. A pungent odor suddenly so irritates Cherubs freckled nose, that he literally flies to the chem. lab. Here, Mr. Wilder is patiently observing the efforts of his amuteur Pasteurs; whether they show signs of progress or lack of it. he smiles understanding!)'. For a change of rhythm, the mascot descends to the girls’ gym., where he observes Miss Wolfe's graceful mastery of u modern dance pattern. In the boys' gym., he overhears lithe, angular-featured Mr. Wulft proudly luuding the sportsmanship of his basketball team. Next. Cherub enters 123 for his final interview. Animatedly he chats with Mrs. Young, whose attractive appearance and delightful Bostonian accent fas- cinate her pupils. Strolling meditatively toward his home room to record his impressions for the yearbook video show. Cherub smiles affectionately, as he remin- isces. Every teacher is so interest- ing — so human!

CELEBRITY TIME “Ask. and it shall he given you; seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall he opened unto you ’ This Biblical quotation, so frequently read during assem- blies. possibly has created an incentive for many Commerce students; certainly, its precepts have guided at least twelve of the present seniors. Stimulated by a genuine desire to avail themselves of the many opportunities offered by Com- merce. these Key Students earnestly worked until they were capable of assuming positions of responsibility. Because their individual interests encompassed every phase of school life, they were selected as club presidents, class officers, editors of Commerce and of Caduceus, and as leaders in art- music. and athletics. Indeed, the Commerce celebrities, eager to utilize their innate potentialities in serving their school, have found the door of opportunity open to their sincere endeavors.
