 'P iewotd The High School of Commerce is zooming toward the stars, and that is why the theme of our yearbook is progress, in tribute to the many advancements made this past year. Among the most important signs of progress, the school boasts an increased enrollment. From the 928 students enrolled in October, 1954, the figure jumped to 1014 in October. 1955. With this student population increase came a sufficient crew of hoys to revive football for the first time in twelve years. Basketball, too, was in the spotlight as the Bed Haiders received an invitation to play in the Small Schools Tournament at the University of Massachusetts. Over- powering all opponents, the team reached the finals and played exceptionally fine basketball. As a symbol of academic progress, a Science Fair, the first one ever held at Commerce, dis- played the projects of 167 students. The Fair's success proved how aware students are of the im- portance of science today. Another “first” was the record-breaking crowd at the annual school show. Capers. Never before had the show been such a hit. These arc just some of the signs of progress which enables us to point with pride at the record of our school this year. We hope that you'll follow our mascots, Henry Ili-Skool and Connie Commerce as they lead us through fun and achievement for the year 1955-1956, showing us through words and pictures how the High School of Commerce is soaring. £ •0 -at.
