Faculty THE NEW DEAL Reversing the traditional method of teachers’ interrogating studenis, the Caduceus editors decided to test their faculty by posing a few personal quesiions. Before read- ing their replies, can you guess the answers ? [6]

Dedicated to MR. SMITH, Our Principal We'll remember you in many ways — When brisk September with its glow arrives, We'll see you, eager for the coming days, Inspiring equal zest in our young lives. Then we'll remember you in earnest talk, Integrity and honor holding high, Untiring vigor showing in your walk, Uncompromising justice in your eye. And we'll remember how you understood, Listening to our troubles when they came; And helped us sort the evil from the good, To look ahead and struggle toward our aim. These things we’ll cherish, keep them yet; Though life may change, we'll not forget.

Office Staff LEFT TO RIGHT, SITTING—Mrs. Adolphus N. King, Miss Alice F. Danforth Smith, Mr. Russell L. Williams. STANDING—Miss Dorothy M. Murphy, Mr. S. O. Prologue IN APPRECIATION For nineteen years, Mr. Stanley O. Smith, a model of efliciency, has been the motivating force in his Commerce family. That he has been the father-like guide of pro- gressive students undoubtedly can be proved. Many former Commerce men and women have aitained their respected positions in business and civic affairs because of his sage advice. Although he has always stressed the importance of hard work, he also has realized the value of relaxation. Consequently, he has encouraged partici- pation in many recreational activities, such as sports, clubs, and dances. OUR OFFICE Our office staff, Recording Angels of the High School of Commerce, meticulously write in big books not only a ll our grades, but, alas, also our tardy and absence records. They are, however, Cheerful Givers of Infor- mation to all inquiries. Always the office staff and principals have reflected the “Open Door Policy’, advo- caied in 1915 by the founder of the school, Mr. Carlos B. Ellis. Behind those doors, two Very Important Per- sons, Principal Smith and Assistant Principal Williams, render countless services willingly and excellently; hence, they usually are afforded obedience and respect.
