CHa Volume 32, 1957 High School of Commerce Springfield, Massachusetts : o s 4 Dedication The staff wishes to dedicate the 1957 Caduceus to all the students and faculty members whose untir- ing efforts made this year’s Cap- ers production a memorable and enjoyable experience. Photo by courtesy of Mr. Si- mon Shadbegian. Foreword “Capers!” What a magic word that is to the students of the High School of Commerce. For it brings to mind the gorgeous scenery, the costumes, the lights, and the unusual talent of the participants—all of which were responsible for the great success of this year’s show. But what is not seen on opening night is the hard work that goes into the show before the curtain can be raised: the hours of rehearsal, the preparation of costumes, the arrange- ment of the scenery, and last, but not least, the actual putting of the show together. So it is with life: before one can expect to gain success and happiness, he must put forth the effort and the thought to make him worthy of it. As with the show, and as with life, the years spent in high school must be filled with hard work as well as fun and frolic, if one is to be successful in gaining a good education that will help him in obtaining success in the business world. Hard work is the only ticket that will permit him the pleasure of taking his place on stage when the curtain goes up on graduation day. Using this thought as our theme, Caduceus for 1957 salutes Commerce Capers of 1956. presente COMMERCE CAPERS Program in seven acts PAGE AG Teil== FAG WIE LYCAND: GAS S ES ioe ree eer ere 5 AGTS11E-SENTORS 25 4 ae ee re ee eee eer a ACTAll= JUNIORS 40. aie een eee ee 69 AGT IV=sER ES iM BING cca cere alice ei hate eee are 81 AGT -VESACTIVLLIES ah ease eee 91 IN-PERMISSION tes... 05 eee rire ere 6 11S ACH VIS=BO YS a5 POR TS se eerie eee ae ey AGT?

He must have had experience directing people before, if the show is to really be a suc- cess. Our Principal, Dr. OSCAR Y. GAMEL ( fic- tured on the right above), is just such a man. Before he came to Commerce he spent almost thirteen years as principal at Chestnut Street Junior High School, with a two year leave of absence to serve as a lieutenant commander in the Navy. The director of a really successful show must also have the respect of not only his fellow workers but also of the people working under him. Dr. Gamel fulfills these requirements. We would like to thank Dr. Gamel for being such Capable Director Team Paves Way for Excellent Performance a wonderful director and for helping us at the High School of Commerce to make our show a SUCCESS. Even a very good director must have a capable assistant. At the High School of Commerce the man who fills this position is Mr. RAYMOND J. MONTAGNA (pictured at.the left, above). In a way Dr. Gamel and Mr. Montagna make a wonderful team. They came to Commerce at the same time, September of 1953. But even before that they were colleagues at Chestnut Street Jun- ior High School, where Mr. Montagna taught mathematics. We would also like to take our hats assistant assistant Ol (tO, sour principal and director, Mr. Montagna. Welcome to Springfield, Dr. McCook.

Office Staff Efficiency Means Smoothly Running School From | left to_zightewevass BarbatasaBorsanwiss” Mary Re@ceanwebe Gamel’s sec- retaryae’ Mrs. Helen Benoit and Mrs. Virginia Kuhnert (Mr. Meetvitte’s— secretary). The efficiency of our office staff is an impor- tant factor in the smooth operation of our school. Each day the ladies check the attendance and make up the daily bulletin. They are responsible for ordering the supplies for the entire school. They keep a register for each of the three grades. There are countless other things which, if not done, would result in general confusion. Without this competent staff we could never hope to have order. Best Wishes for Many Capering Years to Our New Teachers At Commerce the Counselor Is a Helpful Friend Here, Miss Flynn is pictured going over counseling details with her Senior helper, Joanne Bangs. Miss Flynn is the counselor for the present. Freshman class. Next year she will continue to be their counselor while they are juniors. The counselor does more than advise her pupils; she encourages them, informs them of future careers, and helps them to ad- just to difficult situations. After the issuance of report cards each pupil has the opportu- nity of having an interview with his counselor. Miss Lynch is shown here discussing Janice Vennard’s marks with her. This is only one of the many duties of a counselor. In the spring, Miss Lynch visits the junior high schools in the area to help the pupils who are planning to attend Commerce in the fall to make out their programs. During the first months of the freshman year Miss Lynch takes part in a program called Freshman Orientation. In this program the counselors try to help the student to adjust to high school life. They dis- cuss study habits, opportunities, student activities and jobs held at the present time by Commerce graduates. Mr. Melville is pictured here inter- viewing John Johnson. Mr. Melville is the placement director here at Com- merce. His job is to assist the seniors who are graduating in finding jobs suited to their personality and abili- ties. He makes trips and contact work to obtain job openings, and develops job situations. Mr. Melville contin- uously attempts to place under-grad- uates in part-time work or vacation work. Another of Mr. Melville’s duties is that of summarizing and interpreting the rating cards of the juniors and seniors. Modern Languages Promote International Relations Pictured above are Miss Mary McCarthy and Miss Mary Murrill of the Language Department. At right, Miss Bonnie English is shown at the board explaining a Spanish greeting to Teresa Forgotsch and several classmates.

Row 2: Millicent Burgess, Suz- anne Champigny, Esther Nilson, Fanchon Sanders, Bette Denesha, Dorine Daigles ow 3: Christa Brandt, Linda McIntosh, Diane Chicketti, Judith Hartley. French and Spanish are the two special languages taught at Commerce which are included in the College Preparatory course. Miss Murrill and Miss McCarthy teach their pupils to appreciate the culture and heritage of France and Spain. The two teachers spend a great deal of their time teaching their students to read better and acquire a nearly perfect accent by the use of “phonetics.” Phonetics is an intense study of pronunciation. They also teach grammar, and the reading of compositions, short stories, books and newspapers. cits ca ACERS ESI Above: Miss Ruth Mars- den.

As with music, art is a subject to be appre- ciated. Not everyone likes the same picture or piece of sculpture. Miss Marsden teaches two points to her stu- dents. (1) She feels that art must be a work of experience; this experience is not that of copying but of expressing one’s feeling. (2) Art is a way of expression with the elements of design. Some elements of design are harmony, balance, color, rhythm, and unity, which brings things together. In addition, Miss Marsden and her students aid the school in such projects as the G. O. Dance, Capers, Red Cross work, Commercial Art and stage work of different sorts. gvases are a few ke. Occasionally of their projects art classes also pencil, scratch gat things which ould create. Miss Ca The band plays an active part in many school functions. It is an important part of the Christmas program and_ school assem- blies; it plays at many athletic events and takes part in the Western Mass. Music Festival as well as our own Commerce Music Festival. Although some of the band members have had previous training in junior high school, about 75% of them begin at Commerce. At least one year of instrumental training is nec- essary. The school provides the instruments as well as instructions. The student becomes ac- quainted with many phases of music theory and practice. TTIL UW Music plays a large part in the lives of many people. Here at Commerce the students are given an opportunity to take part in several vocal groups, under. the direction of Mr. Walter Nickers@y (77 Ag There are fiv@Qele@ Jalhbs Tha makes it easier for move oMlyfwhid | with fio fake glee club to Jegmimeb thei prbbtams Thq style of music vAaieseetom classi seeh oi0us, Gmenese c- ular music to modern™poptiat standards, and tunes from well-known Broadway shows.

Because the teachers know that the students will be using English all their lives and that it will have a direct influence on their success in business and the social world, they want to give them the best training possible. Commerce offers courses in many of the specialized branches of English as well as the fundamentals of the language. The College Preparatory course is very helpful to those students who go on to college. The speech class is available and useful to all Junior and Senior students. A special reading program is being developed in which Freshman students will be given scientific train- ing in the skills of understanding and using the English language to its highest advantages. Above left are three members of the speech class recording their voices on tape. They are, left to right: Elizabeth Fratini, Charles Flanigan, and Antonette Fioren- tino.

The High School of Commerce has the most complete course in Social Studies in the city of Springfield on the high school level. It offers Geog- raphy and Modern History in _ the freshman year, American History in the junior year, and Modern Prob- lems in the senior year. Modern Problems I combines a half year of civics with one-half year of home problems, while Modern Problems II adds Economics for the same period of time. Civics points up the origin of government — federal, state, and city — and tells what its functions are. The aim of the Social Studies Department is to reveal to students the historical and cultural background of their country. Above is a class in Home Problems study- ing the care of the sick. They are left to right: Frosine Axiotis, Arline Dumas, Shir- ley Hyland, and Roberta Sachs. Eleanor Serafino is the patient. Miss Regina Hender- son, instructor, looks on.

Students At left are the teachers who make a wide range of scientific studies possible here at Commerce. They are Mr. MHenry Trespas, Miss Alberta McCleary, Mr. William Wilder, and Mr. Harold Jones. The Science Department of the High School of Commerce has two primary aims: to help create science-age citizens and to encourage more young people to choose science as a career. In this new age of rockets and wonderful med- ical discoveries, students who have a knowledge of chemistry, physiology, physics, and biology are needed all over the globe. One of the big events-in the Science Depart- ment this year was the Science Fair. This fair gives students the opportunity to express their thoughts on science with exhibits which they de- sign and make themselves. All in all, the science department offers stu- dents courses in all phases of science which will aid them in any career that they are interested in. and demonstration of transistors and their uses in electronics are, from left to right: Joan Beaulieu, Sandra Schenck, Richard Pond, Telephone Company representatives John L.

In this way Distrib- utive Education pupils have an opportunity to learn fundamentals of dis- play “by doing.” The Distributive Education Course, taught by Miss Barbara McQuade, offers the student a co-operative training program which gives him classroom instruction in the morning and actual work experience in a distributive occupation in the afternoon. Since distribution of products and services to the consumer involves many functions, the student may hold various kinds of paying jobs such as selling, receiving and marking mer- chandise, assisting in display and in advertising, or even working in various office departments, such as the credit office. Among the many advantages are these: The student is given a natural method of choosing Stee Dee an occupation.

NOmaPZmMMHeres Commerce during the past few years has been expanding its Mathematics Department. This year trigonometry, taught by Mr. John Bennett, (shown above), has been included in our curriculum for the first time. Algebra IT and II and geometry are also included in this department. The fundamentals including graphs, square root, and equa- tions are taught in Algebra I by Miss Margaret Kelly Algebra II, which includes quadratic equations, logarithms, and binomial theorems, is more involved. Plane geometry serves to benefit the future architect, designer, machinist, and engineer. Commerce meets the high standards of college requirements and has sent many of its graduates to excellent institutions. Its training in mathematics, then, is another demonstration of our yearbook theme: that serious, intelligent work in high school is the basis for lasting well-being and pleasure in life.

Standing: Mr. Anthony Ser- afino, Mr. Ernest Conchieri, and Mr. Harold Jones. Traveling all over the building one could find rooms and rooms full of office equipment to further the education of Commerce students. Such a room is 113. The homeroom here is the G.O. Accounting class. This class is headed by co-cashiers. In order to form the class, the best Bookkeeping I students are selected, and from that list Mrs. Foote trains the six top juniors. From the six, two to four are chosen to act as cashiers. During a school year the G.O. Class collects money for the yearbook, G.O., Capers, and Senior Activi- ties. In addition to G.O. Accounting, the business de- partment includes filing, penmanship, machine cal- culation, bookkeeping, and clerical practice. Bookkeeping and clerical practice offer a wonder- ful opportunity for students who wish to take it. These subjects offer many advantages not only for jobs, but for teaching the students to think for them- selves. Everyone realizes that machines in offices save much time and hard work. That is why Commerce teaches Machine Calculation. From this subject the students learn how to operate the machines which can be found in rooms such as 215B. Penmanship is a something we notice everyday. Miss Anderson helps her students to realize the neces- ity of good handwriting for business use. Many times businesses lose millions of dollars because one person writes a figure which is not legible. Miss Anderson teaches the Zaner motion method. This flowing and graceful method has certainly improved some of the writing here at Commerce. Below: Jeanette Skarzinsky using some of the skills she has learned from Miss Dowd in her Filing Class.

Shown below, trying their luck, are Patricia Kuras and Don Kozaczka. Commerce students have a right to feel proud of the training they receive in school. The work in the Secretarial Department is a prime example. The young lady (or man)—from her Fresh- man typing through her Junior shorthand and her Senior office machine work—all through her high school career, gets a thorough grounding and extensive practice in the skills and attitudes which she will need in the busy commercial or pro- fessional office after her graduation. Her work now will give her technical competence, justifiable pride, and increased happiness later. 21 Home Economics Department Turns Out Future Homemakers WHR i: Left: Looking over pattern E an 4 é ae books are the members of peo� a Vea a ey the faculty who teach Home .

Shown below are _ four members of the sewing classes modeling that cloth- ing that they have made. They are, left to right: Sal- ly Nixon, Cryssula Pappas, Marie Mazzeo, and Patricia Francazio. The Home Economics Department consists of Dressmaking I, II; Sewing classes; Etiquette Classes; and Foods I, II, II. The Dressmaking and Sewing classes have two teachers: Mrs. Shute and Miss Car- roll. The sewing classes learn good grooming and also make a few skirts. These classes usually consist of Freshmen who take a half year of sewing and a half of foods I. The Dressmaking I, II classes are taught advanced courses of sewing. The Etiquette class, or the subject better known as Personality and Etiquette, may consist either of boys or girls and is taught by Miss Hyde. The stu- dents taking this course are especially trained for proper dress and manners. The 1957 Betty Crocker Homemaker Each year, in high schools throughout the nation, the senior girls take an examination called the test of “Homemaking Knowledge and Attitudes.” This program is sponsored by General Mills and is a part of the Betty Crocker Search for the American Homemaker of ‘Tomor- row. The winning girl receives the distinctive Homemaker of Tomorrow pin, which symbolizes the fact that “Home Is Where the Heart Is.” This year, the Homemaker of Tomorrow pin here at Commerce was awarded to Bar- bara Sharby (left). The examination papers of each school Homemaker of Tomorrow are compared and a State Homemaker of Tomorrow is picked. All of the State Homemakers are guests of Betty Crocker at a banquet at which time the name of the All-American Homemaker of Tomorrow is announced. Girls Learn the Way to a Man’s Heart Is Good Food The girls at the left are preparing to eat what they have made. They are, left to right: Marcia Keane, Pat Donovan, Victoria Gie- ger, and Janet Coughlin. At the right, the girls are doing the dishes, which is a chore that must be done after each meal. They are Carol _ Brunelle, Pauline Thiebe, and Judith Vickery. In the background are Irene Cranson, and Jean Serafino. Alberta Churchill, below, is putting the food away after the meal. Foods classes are taught by two teachers. They are Miss Hughes and Miss Hyde. The Freshman who takes a half year of Foods I learns the proper technique of table setting, well balanced diets and their importance, the correct way of serving food and the preparation of meats. Foods II and III classes are taught further studies of these courses. The foods classes also contribute much of their cooking to the Red Cross and other organizations by making cookies. Sports Lend to Fun While Developing Athletic Skill The basic objectives of the physical education program here at Commerce are to promote physical fitness, develop habits and attitudes of healthful living, and also develop fast as well as correct thinking. This program gives to the boys ex- perience in three areas of physical ed- ucation: team sports, individual sports and combative sports. The physical education program for the girls does more than simply stress the importance of physical fitness; it also teaches co-operation and tries to include activities which will lend them- selves to the students after graduation. Some of these activities are badminton and ping pong. In addition to regular classes the girls are fortunate to have several after-school activities such as golf, tennis, bowling, skating, fencing, swimming and cheerleading. In this physical education program the student has fun while acquiring experience in different areas, but as is true in everything, there must be Pictured above are the members of our Physical Education Department.

Many Hours of Behind-the- Wheel Training are Provided Getting ready for their check out are, left to right: Barbara Grandfield, Sandra Lloyd Ritter, Carol Zanolli, and Joyce Buffington, with their instructor, Mr. Thom- as Collins. We are very fortunate here at Commerce to Have a Drivers Education program. This pro- gram is designed to help students to become better drivers, and by so doing, improve the driving on the highways of Massachusetts. There are two parts to this program: the theory, which the student receives in his junior year, and the behind the wheel instruction, which is available to seniors. The course stresses the importance of a good attitude in a driver, for a poor attitude is often the cause of many accidents. By taking this course the student develops good driving habits before he learns poor ones. After completing the course the student receives an insurance reduc- tion as well as his license. Our School Nurse Has Many Problems to Cope with Mrs. Broadhead, the school nurse, (shown here with Mary Trimboli) is a very important person here at Commerce. She, along with another nurse and the school doctor, administers the polio shots. Quite often during the school year emergencies arise which the nurse efficiently takes care of. During the freshman year physicals are given to each student. The nurse assists the doctor in this process. It is a comforting thought to know that, should anything hap- pen, the nurse is always there to help. 25 Pictured at right are the Thanks, Folks. for Making Our School Life So Enjoyable Perhaps the least-thanked people at the High School of Commerce, and yet without whom the school could not be run, are the lunchroom ladies and the custodians. When our stomachs tell us that it’s time for lunch, it’s the lunchroom ladies who are respon- sible for the tasty dishes that we eat to satisfy our hunger. How would you like to peel over a hundred pounds of potatoes a day, or make sand- wiches to feed the whole United States Army? These are just some of the tasks these women do for us, and they are certainly worthy of all the thanks we can give them. Another group that we could not do without TUG Pictured at left are lunchroom ladies.

It’s their job to see that Commerce is just the right temperature at all times. Just imagine what would happen if, right in the middle of winter, the custodians decided that the temperature was not important and forgot to watch it. Brr! We can thank them also for the clean water fountains that mean so much in the warm days of spring. Yes, indeed, both of these groups deserve a great deal of credit.

Next month I graduate . 65 Ape td hope.” Senior Officers and Executive Board Plan Memorable Graduation The Senior Executive Board is made up of one representative and one alternate from each home room. They act as the Seniors’ congressmen. The wishes and opinions of the Seniors are conveyed to the board through these officers. In this way the Senior class has a voice in deciding such issues as the date of the Senior Prom, the refresh- ments at the Senior Banquet, and the plans for the Class Day program. Their efforts and accomplishments will help to make graduation and all the events leading up to it the most memorable moments of each 1957 Sen- ior’s life.

Experience gained from these of- fices will be helpful in the years to come. The method of electing these offices is very different; the responsibility of electing the Executive Board is given to the home rooms. On the other hand, the President, Vice-President, and Secretary are elected by the Junior class as a whole. The main duty of these students is to provide spark for their class. Some of their more important tasks are selecting class rings and caps for their Senior year, and organizing dances, such as the Junior- Freshman Social.

Row Six: Gail Bernier, Betty Agnos, Miss Murrill, Judith Backus, Joyce Ben- nett. Row Seven: Joyce Bailey, Josephine Basile, Gail Borthwick, Patricia An- tonyk. Girls in home room 107 strongly express their opinion on the type of boys they like. JOYCE BAI- LEY goes for a tall, blond crew-cut’ with big blue eyes, where JUDY BACKUS likes her man with a dark crew-cut and nice personality. A boy who acts like a gentleman and treats the girls like ladies is for NANCY BEDINOTTI. Italian food such as pizza and spaghetti rate high with most of the girls. NAT SULLIVAN’S fa- orite food is spinach (each to his own taste), while JOAN BOREK enjoys eating American chop suey. SYLVIA ANSLEY tops it off with pickles as her favorite. The girls in 107 have some pleasant hobbies that they enjoy very much. SHEILA BALICKI’S - hobby is baking, while IRENE AUBIN enjoys sew- ing. It looks as though 107 has some ambitious fu- ture housewives. ANGELA BAZOS is interested in collecting pictures of famous people. Collecting rec- ords is a hobby with BETTY AGNOS. When asked to mention some things that Com- merce offers that are different from other schools, the girls came up with some interesting statements. JOYCE BAILEY claimed that it offers ‘“‘a wonderful background of knowledge for the business world.” BEVERLY BATTIGE likes the three years of typ- ing Commerce offers. JOAN BOREK thinks that the school offers excellent training for the secretarial field. All in all, everyone agrees that Commerce is the best. 69 Spaghetti, Pizza and Grinders Rate High in 206 Pet peeves in 206 vary. DOROTHY DOWNER tells us that girls with their hair set is her pet peeve. Why shouldn’t it be, when Dot’s hair is naturally Gnu yan EI Rex, LEVREAULT says that boys with no manners irk her, while LEE ARTHUR sticks up for his sex and tells us that nagging females bother him. (Of course Lee isn’t referring to the Commerce girls in this statement.) The ambition of the majority of the girls in 206 is to become cither a secretary or a housewite. As for the boys, sports writing appeals to them. PAT EA- TON tells us that she would like to become a roller skater. Everyone in 206 agrees that a considerate, well- mannered person is her idea of a perfect date. ERI- KA ERNDT says that a tall blond, blue-eyed boy 70 Room 206 Left to Right—Row One: Suzanne Champigny, Anita Ford, Diane Costello, Dorothy Downer.

This is their idea of a perfect evening: go out to a show and then out to eat. Spaghetti, grinders, or pizza appeal to the majority of the boys and girls. Sports interest the girls and boys in 206. And why shouldn't they? LOU CALABRESE and JOHN FITZGERALD are there to make sure they do. Freshie Day amused €veryotie; sisi ee DEAU still can’t forget having to eat under the tables. ERIKA ERNDT tells us that a boy actually paid her a compliment one day! JUDY ADAMS says she bumped into a whole bunch of boys!! Accidental- ly on purpose, of course. Next year when they return as Seniors, the boys hope to find pretticr girls and the girls hope to see more boys. A Good Career Seems Important to 208 Room 208 Left to Right—Row One: Joyce Carrow, Dawn Chase, Joan Clark, Laureen Con- nors. Row Two: Carolyn Codraro, Laurie Boyer, Leslie Boyer, Jacqueline Brown, Carol Bradway. Row Three: Beverly Capaccio, Joyce Keane, Marilyn Cayode, Carol Claing. Row Four: Joyce Buckley, Barbara Brehart, Barbara Var- nadore, Dorcas Knowlton, Jean Bullock. Row Five: Barbara Cohen, Judith Stag- naro, Brenda Koetsch, Imelda Byrnes. Row Six: Judith Christopher, Carol Boudreau, Mr. Wiatrowski, Bruce. Anna When the subject of pet peeves was brought up in 208, CAROL BRADWAY came up with a dandy. It seems that she just can’t stand a boy who displays a mustache. When JOYCE KEANE was asked about this, she wasn’t quite sure about the mustaches, but one thing was very evident, a dislike for men in gen- eral! BARBARA COHEN, JUDY STAGNARO, and JOAN CLARK simply dropped the subject of men, just for the moment, of course, and expressed their pet peeve as homework. Careers are the main topic of discussion in 208. MARLENE BUTMAN feels strongly that a good career should come before marriage. JUDY CHRIS- TOPHER is strongly in favor of marriage (some career) , but each to her own opinion. While JOYCE BUCKLEY and JOYCE CARROW are entering the secretarial field, BEVERLY CAPACCIO is headed for the nearest school of nursing. Everyone agreed that a perfect evening is one when everyone concerned has a good time. Practically everyone in Commerce agrees that Freshie Day was the most amusing event seen at Com- merce, as do the majority of the girls in 208. JOAN CLARK says that the Teachers’ Act in Capers was a load of laughs. 71 Two Talented Artists Are Hiding Out in Room 210 The ambitions of the people in room 210 are DOROTHY DECKER and DONNA CRAWFORD hope to become medical secretaries, while GAIL ROBERTS plans to become a nurse. SANDRA TILDEN’S ambition is to become a beau- tician and ROSEMARIE BUONECONTI would like to become an airline hostess. Happy landings, Rosemarie! We have two prospective physical edu- cation teachers also: EDITH COLLINGS and PAUL WARD. We have a few talented people with a flare for painting: KATHIE COLLIS and GAIL KNAPP. BEVERLY BROSNAN'’S hobby is roller skating and EDNA COLLINGS enjoys ice skating.

JOSEPH DAVIS and RAY ARTUPH both agree that their girls must have good personalities, while DENNIS BARNETT likes a conservative girl. VIRGINIA WHITE likes the kind of boy who is willing to be helpful, friendly and courteous. BAR- BARA COLLINA likes a person who is polite, so- ciable and fun to be with, boy or girl. Another important item agreed upon by our. students in 210 is that Commerce is unique in that it offers such an excellent business training. The majority of people in 210 are planning to work hard this summer. AUDREY HILL, whose nickname is “BUNKER,” is going to be a counselor at a camp in Westfield. A few lucky people are plan- ning to do some traveling during the summer. GAIL ROBERTS is going to New York, JOSEPH DAVIS is going to Florida, and BEVERLY COUTURE is planning a trip to Texas!

It seems that BEVERLY FORSSTROM’S pet peeve is getting up in the morning. CAROLYN FERGUSON, BEVERLY FUSARO, and SHARON FOSTER agree that homework is their pet peeve. PATRICIA FLYNN’S favorite pastime is talk- ing on the telephone, while BEVERLY FUSARO enjoys ice skating. BILL FLANDERS likes to bowl, but both CAROLYN FERGUSON and BEVERLY FORSSTROM would rather sleep in their spare . time. Ambitions are varied in room 216B. DIANE GALAVOTTI would like to become a librarian. DEANNA FANTONI hopes to become a nurse, while BEVERLY FORSSTROM is looking forward to becoming a medical secretary. CAROL MORISI and CAROLYN FERGUSON plan to become teach- ers. JOHN VINOT hopes to become a bookkeep- er, and PATRICIA FLYNN’S ambition is to be- come either a bookkeeper or a stenographer. There are various activities that interest the people in 216B. BEVERLY FUSARO enjoys the girls’ after-school activities, DOLLY FILIAULT fa- vors cheerleading and SHARON FOSTER likes lunch period best, because she is usually starved. The most amusing thing that happened to EDDIE BEAULIEU was being mistaken as a fresh- man on Freshie Day. The girls in room 216B agree that boys should have a good sense of humor. ROBERT DUNN likes a quiet girl, while EDDIE BEAULIEU likes one that is friendly. The plans for the summer are interesting. DE- ANNA FANTONLI is going to work in a hospital. DIANE GALLAVOT TTL is going to continue work- ing in the library. ROBERT DUNN is traveling South and JOHN VINTO is going to Nova Scotia. EDDIE BEAULIEU is taking a fishing trip to Can- ada. Good luck, Eddie! 73 Gentleman David Goodman Prefers Brunettes pees ft Most of the boys and girls in room 218 agree that the funniest thing they have seen while at Com- merce was Freshie Day. NANCY HADD, PEGGY LUNDEN, and DAWN GROSS still think that Dick Pond in “Dragnet” was funnier. Almost everyone likes Italian food best, with pizza and spaghetti at the top of the list. GRACE STANDEN'’S pet peeve is homework, while KATHY BREGLIO’S is her boss. The thing that seems to interest CAROL GRIMALDI and LORRIE HAMEL most is the Drama Club. Several of the students in room 218 find that collecting records is an interesting hobby. Some of them are PATRICIA GORMAN, ANNE FERGU- SON, CAROL GRIMALDI and ANTOINETTE COMMISSO. Roller skating is another popular hob- by in this home room.

Most of the girls like a boy with a good pe son- ality, who is polite and understanding. KATHY and PENNY like their men to be tall, dark and hand- some, while CAROLYN GUARNIERI prefers the older, college boy, with good looks and personality. DAVID GOODMAN likes his girls to be brunettes, medium height, and with money. WILLIE JONES likes a girl that is not too shy. The plans for the summer vary: LORRIE HAMEL and CAROL GRIMALDI are planning to work at a summer resort; LORRAINE POULIN and ANTOINETTE COMMISSO are hoping to take trips to Canada. KITTY GIANCOLA is going to an Air Force base in Plattsburg, New York, and PAT GORMAN says she is simply going to loaf.

PHYLLIS HEARN has the hope of becoming It seems that the main topic of discussion in 221 is BOYS!!! From questions asked of them, we learned very little about pet peeves, but we did get the latest scoop on men. Some people like DIANE HOWIE have a hob- by such as roller skating, but not. MARCELLA LA- MOTTE—her hobby is collecting boys! MARILYN HUGHES gave this description of her idea of a real neat boy: tall, dark, handsome, and with a manly physique. Sounds good, wouldn’t you say? PHYLLIS HEARN leaves out looks and says that a fellow who is considerate, polite, and has a good personality would fill her order. Elvis Presley rates high with CAROL LA- a dental assistant, while JEAN KAPECKI would like to become an airline hostess. Basketball seems to be the most enjoyable sport with the girls, with Commerce Raiders rating espe- cially high with them. BARBARA JABLONSKI, JUDY HARTLEY and JOYCE HENRY all agree that Italian foods are the greatest. Everyone agrees that Commerce is tops and that they really enjoy the fine business course that it has to offer. Conceited People Just Don’t Go in 302 Room 302 Left to Right—Row One: Elizabeth Manseau, Ann Mitchell, Marie Mac- Innes, Pauline Tetreault.

Row Six: Linda McIntosh, Jean Markowski, Sandra MacPherson, Carol Miloz, Mil- dred Miller. Row Seven: Joyce Miller, Gloria Shirly, Helen Misterka, Mr. Hen- ry R. Trespas. Absent: Sandra Maher, Brenda Malone. Pet peeves are all similar in this all-girl home Day. She is lucky that she came to Commerce as a room. GINGER LUCIA, HELEN MISTERKA, and GLORIA SHIRLY all have a pet peeve in com- mon—they do not like conceited boys!! Of course, it just wouldn’t be right if no one disagreed about this, so MIMI MOLINO and ROBERTA MALCOLM tell us that conceited girls irk them. Lots of school spirit lies in 302. Why not— they’ve got three of the “heppest” cheerleaders around: MIMI MOLINO, ROBERTA MALCOLM and we mustn’t forget HELEN MISTERKA, a good sub. When the subject of food was brought up, most of the girls agreed that Italian foods are the greatest. LENNIE MASON had to disagree, though, and tell us that pork chops rate especially high with her. VIRGINIA MOSS, who is new to Commerce this year, doesn’t think that she will forget Freshie 76 Junior and didn’t have to participate, even though now that it’s over we all admit that it was a lot of fun. Everyone agrees that Commerce is the best school around. JEANNE MARKOWSKI says that it needs more teachers like Mr. Serafino and Miss Jenks. HELEN MISTERKA and GLORIA SHIRLY agree, as do most of the girls in $02, that Commerce needs more boys. What about a perfect evening? Well, the girls have that answered for you, too. MIMI MOLINO says it’s with Ray; VIRGINIA MOSS says it’s with Trave. FRAN MONZILLO, Vice President of the Jun- ior class, sums all her ideas up in “You get out of life what you put in it.” Well Mannered Boys Appeal to Girls in 308 Room 308 Left to Right—Row One: Catherine Ortona, Sandra Norrington, Judith Mosher, Nona Mouret.

Row Eight: Marilyn Pippin, Miss Hyde. Absent: Charlotte Parks. Pet peeves run strong in room 308. CAROL WILLIAMS is very much against homework. It’s plain to see that she isn’t the only one. SANDRA NORRINGTON doesn’t like people to call her “Sondra,” while JOAN MORRIS dislikes people who talk behind her back. Boys have to be at their best to get along with the girls in 308. MARY JEAN NEWELL likes a boy who is sincere and easy to get along with. A well mannered boy with a top personality is for DOR- OTHY PARYLAK. PATRICIA PERRINE likes a boy who is quiet, neat in appearance and ambitious. Beliefs in this homeroom show that the girls can do some serious thinking. JANICE NOEL be- lieves that everyone should have a faith to live by, while MARYLIN PIPPIN claims that if we try to help others at all times this would be a better world. It is SANDRA PHILLIPS’ belief that you should learn everything you can while in high school. Ambitions vary among the girls in this home room. ANTOINETTE PLANZO is planning to be a Yeoman in the Navy. It looks as though ANTOIN- ETTE is trying to make up for the boys she’s missing while attending Commerce. PATRICIA MILES hopes to be a Medical Secretary, while JOYCE PAP- PAS wants to be a dancing teacher. 309’s Elinor Has a Spine-Tingling Pet Peeve Girls in home room 309 have a variety of pet peeves. ELINOR LANDERS has a pet peeve that sends a chill up your spine: she doesn’t like to hear scratching on a blackboard. CAROL ROBERTS doesn’t care for spoiled brats. Going to the dentist is EVELYN SIeNARIESS pet peeve: “Boys” is the big word when it comes to wonder- ing what Commerce needs, claim the majority of the girls in 309. EDITH SCHARMER came up with a dandy suggestion claiming that Commerce should have more dances, without the teachers, because they spoil the fun. Spaghetti and pizza are all-around favorites with most of the girls. JANET RANCORE enjoys steak and mushrooms, while GERTRUDE RAY- MOND likes fried chicken in a basket. LORETTA SAUVE will settle for a good tuna fish salad sand- wich any time. 78 Room 309 Left to Right—Row One: Sandra Schenck, Loretta Sauvé, Theresa Ry- hezyk, Margaret Smith.

Boys who are well mannered and neat are for the girls in 309. EVELYN ST. MARI MMikessaaper- son who has a good sense of humor and is always happy. Someone who is considerate, sociable and who has a nice personality is the type of person LEONA BAILEY enjoys being with. Going to an informal dance and having a coke afterwards is LORETTA SAUVE S idea of a perfect evening. GERTRUDE RAYMOND likes to spend her evenings skating or going to a movie. CAROLE ROBERTS thinks that dining and dancing is the way to enjoy a perfect evening. The ambition of EDITH SCHARMER is to return to Commerce as a teacher. LORETTA SAUVE would like to become a law secretary, while MARGARET SMITH would like to be an account- ant. GERTRUDE RAYMOND is heading toward a career as an airline stewardess. The ambitions of these girls prove that they are looking into the fu- ture with great interest.

Absent: Linda Taylor, Janet Tilbury. The students in room 317 seem to agree on sev- eral things. First on the list is Italian food, pizza and spaghetti particularly. Their favorite sport is foot- ball, and almost everyone thinks that Freshie Day was the funniest thing seen while at Commerce. There are a number of exciting hobbies in room 317. SANDRA TISDALE and VIVIAN SMITH both enjoy painting as their hobby. EMMA BE- RUBE, CYNTHIA STEVENSON, BETTY STOV- ALL, SUSAN STODDARD, and JO-ANN TAY- LOR all collect records, while SALLY TEEL col- lects post cards. We find two musicians in room 317: JOANNE SZARLAN and JENNIE STARSYK. Jo- anne plays the organ and Jennie plays the piano. It is interesting to take a peek at what our stu- dents do in their spare time. ROSEMARIE TA- ROZZI and SANDRA TISDALE spend their spare time talking on the telephone. BETTY STOVALL and JO-ANN TAYLOR both like to dance, while SUSAN STODDARD likes to play golf. JOAN STODDARD, BRIAN O’BRIEN and FRAN SHIR- LY all prefer to sleep in their spare time. JOANNE SZARLAN hopes to become a teach- er, while SALLY TEEL plans to be a bookkeeper. BEVERLY TEBALDI, JENNIE STARZYK, and JO-ANN TAYLOR all have ambitions of becoming secretaries. While the majority of students in room 317 are planning to work during their summer vacation, there are a few lucky ones who are going on trips. BEVERLY TEBALDI is going to the beach. SAN- DRA TISDALE is planning on a camping trip to Maine and VIVIAN SMITH is going to Hampton Beach. 79 Nice “Fellas” and Dreamy Music Appeals to 327 A’s Room 327A, an all-girl home room, agree there’s nothing better to eat than a dish of red hot spaghetti. Some of these spaghetti lovers are GAIL WINS- LOW, SUSAN BRECK, and JANICE WESTER- GREN. KATHERINE WARGA’S and AUDREY WEATHERBEFE’S pet peeves are people who are borrowers but not returners. SUSAN BRECK doesn’t like to be kept waiting, while JUDITH BURNO doesn’t like it when people call constantly on the phone without having anything to say. Most of the girls in 327A want to become secre- taries or bookkeepers. Among these girls are BAR- BARA HENRY, JOYCE YELINEK and MARCIA SMITH. TONI WHEELER’S ambition is to be a magazine illustrator, while MARILYN WILLIAMS would like to be a nurse. 80 Room 327A Left to right—Row One: Sheila Tuohey, Barbara Henry, Joyce Yelinek, Joan Yando.

Row Six: Toni Wheeler, Carole Williams, Marilyn Cremont, Joan Tulip, Rachel Vigneault. Row Seven: Miss Conway, Nancy Wade, Mariannae ‘Trimboli, Marcia Smith. Absent: Mary Ann Ugo- lik, Gail Winslow. NANCY WADE thinks it’s a perfect evening when she’s dancing with “a nice fella” to dreamy music. CAROL TOPOOSIAN likes to spend her evenings at a small house party with a lot of music. JANICE VENNARD added everything up and came to the conclusion that being with the boy of your dreams is the best way to spend an evening. The most amusing event seen in Commerce by LINDA WHEELER was two girls almost entering the boys’ room. (Maybe they can’t read signs yet.) It usually isn’t fun to fall down a flight of stairs, but SHEILA WALDRON thought it was when she did. During the coming summer the majority of the girls plan to work. JANICE VENNARD has a differ- ent plan in mind; she’s going to do nothing but sleep late. (Pleasant dreams.)

Freshie Day Was Mirthful Play—for the Seniors Anyway. At left in gorgeous attire: Barry Dunham and Donald Carvell. Below: Raymond Gore, Carleton Russell, and Connie Sullivan. Below, left, with the goldfish bowl: Joyce Buffington, an anguished Freshman, and Catherine Jennings. Be- low, right, a Freshman’s reward: Valerie Butler and Kenneth Gustafson. Truth or Consequences was the theme of this year’s Freshie Day Assembly which was held on September 19. And truth or consequences it was as unsuspecting Freshmen were called out of the audience to tell the “truth” or pay the “consequence.” Phil ‘Tuohey summoned the quivering Fresh- men while George Pehlvanian tossed the impossible questions at them. Three freshman girls were called to the stage, and when they failed to answer the questions asked, they were blind- folded and told what they were to do. Live goldfish for 90 dinner? Delicious. Just ask the three girls who tried them. One of the romantic aspects of the show was two fresh- man boys who hula-ed up the aisle in flowing grass skirts on a scavenger hunt for idiotic items. Do you like baby food? If you do, then the baby-food relay race was just for you. The little freshmen guzzled baby food contentedly as the roaring seniors held their sides to prevent them from bursting. The Raggedy-Anns and the Andys Lots of Costumes, Scenery, Lights, and Talent Made a Wonderful ‘‘Winter Wonderland.”’ One morning last October a notice appeared on the bulletin. For about two months after that morning music could be heard almost every period of the day from 8:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon. In the halls or down in the lunchroom one could usually hear a voice saying something like, “Don’t you think the tempo should be a little faster at this point?’ And in answer a voice would say, “Oh, no, the kids will never be able to get around the stage that fast.” Also at this time one might find either Pat Hum- phries, Mary Almirantes, Pat Zilinski, or Val But- ler down in the office begging Mr. Montagna for the elusive bits of paper which would get their groups excused from a class that day. About two weeks before the big night it was suddenly discovered by some people that they would need special clothes for this affair. Here- after there followed a flurry of telephone calls to the various customers in the city to see if they could supply such and such a costume. Finally on A highlight of this year’s Capers was the Triads, consisting of, left to right: Val- No one can forget Pat Zilinsky and erie Butler, Judy Bourgeois, and Margery Beverly Marsden, shown below doing Coombs, who sang ‘““The Christmas Alpha- the “Tennessee Wigwalk.” bet,” and “In the Alps.” the night of November 31, 1956, after much worry- ing and after many of the advisors had pulled most of their hair out by the roots, the curtain went up on “Winter Wonderland,” the tenth an- nual production of Commerce Capers. It is doubtful whether anyone who saw the show will fail to remember the precision chorus line, or the hilarity of the hillbilly act starring Pat Zilinski and Bev Marsden, or the blended _ har- mony of the Orbits and the Capris, or the scintil- lating song stylings of our Class Songbird, Gerrie Combs. It was a good show, one of the best, and the performers had a terrific time putting it on. And if everyone was a little sad to see the last curtain fall on the last performance, still all the cast , knew that the audience enjoyed it. After all, isn’t that the idea behind a show?

Escorted by a sound truck, all classes marched to Springfield College’s Pratt Field for an after- noon of interclass competition in such events as Backward Trio, Leap Frog, Back-to-Back Relay, and Volleyball. The rivalry was close: all three classes were tied twice, but at the finish the Sen- iors had accumulated the most points, with the Juniors and Freshmen trailing closely. The climax of the afternoon was the tradi- tional snake dance led by Mr. Jones, who escorted the triumphant Seniors to first position in the eager line for hot dogs and cokes. As in all good things, our fun was the result of hard work. Our special gratitude goes to Miss Greenleaf, Mr. Rumpal, Miss Owens, Mr. Allen, Mr. Holley, Mrs. Richardson, Mr. Melville, Nfr.

The Student Council Labor to Make School Life More Enjoyable COUNCIL OFFICERS—Lefi to Right: David ‘Thibault, president; Lois Fagan, secre- tary; Mr. Bruno Rumpal, fac- ulty adviser; George Pehlvan- ian, vice-president. ' : i The student council, chosen each year in a truly democratic election, serves as an intermediary be- tween the students and the school administration. Through the council are channeled suggestions for improving school spirit, or requests to the adminis- tration for changes to make daily routine more pleasant for everyone. Much of the enjoyable qual- ity of school life can be traced to the labors of the councils of this and past years. The council also conducts the annual General Organization (G.O.) Assembly which launches the drive for funds to operate extra-curricular activities, and it supervises all Freshman, Junior, and Senior class elections. THE STUDENT COUNCIL.

The first year was very successful, with over two hundred accounts being opened by the students of this school. This year’s officers are President, Joan Scott; Vice-President, Pat Humphries; Secretary, Susan Bruno; Treasurer, Dave Goodman; Trustee, Pat Barker. This year the bank in cooperation with the three other J. A. Savings Banks at Tech, Clas- sical, and Longmeadow made and sponsored a display for the Junior Achievement ‘race Fair. Commerce Trading Post Proves Life Saver for Busy Students The Commerce Trading Post has been a real life saver to many Commerce students at times when their ink pen ran out or their note book was lost, or they needed a pencil, or even when they had a cold and needed a Kleenex. For all these things and many, many more can be purchased at the student store. Polite, efficient clerks help fellow students to find last-minute school necessities at the Trading Post. Behind the counter, from left to right: Miss Dowd, Beverly Brosnan, Dorothy Decker, Beverly Couture, Betty Denesha. Clerk Audrey Hill is absent. This store, under the supervision of Miss Dowd of the Business Department, is run for Commerce students by Commerce students. In charge of the store is Betty Couture, a junior, while Robert Bastien is in charge of the records. 97 Once a month, the staff of Commerce can rest, the day the paper comes out. At all other times during the month, during the regular Journalism class and also during the free periods of some of the staff members, they can be seen scurrying around the school getting tidbits of news for the paper. Some of the students on the staff have had to run even further for the paper, down to the printer, or down to the city for interviews. Doing their part to get the paper out are the members of the Business Staff, shown at the right. They are, left to right: Gary Babineau, Ad- vertising Manager; Sandra Lloyd Ritter, Business Man- ager; and Dorothy Hutch- eons, Circulation Manager . of Hard Work, 98 “Snooping” for News...

Standing, left to right: Anne Smith, managing ed- itor; Thomas Potter, page 4 editor; Gail Kurtz, page 2 Editor; Patricia Kuras, page 1 editor; Miss Eliza- beth Connell, adviser; and Joan Bruno, editor-in-chief. The paper this year bas been filled with wonder- ful editorials, humorous features, and interesting columns written on sports, fashions, music and alumni. And as the staff puts its final paper to bed, there is a bit of sadness and a bit of joy. For this staff, the year is through, their careers as news- paper men and women are finished; but for the next year’s staff the year is just beginning. ...

Nearly ten percent of the stu- dent body and faculty have had a hand in its production this year and have dedicated it to serve the best interests of the entire school. The business staff, the photography groups and the huge editorial staff have worked separately but yet in a well coordinated manner. The educational values of the multifarious tasks involved in the complicated process—values in the realms of com- mercial life, the arts and intellectual growth—are inestimable. It is hoped that CADUCEUS 1957 will give pleasure to all who read it just as the staff takes pleasure in presenting it. CADUCEUS is another significant illustration of our “Capers” theme— | out of hard work comes enjoyment. .. - But Their Coordinated Efforts Make Caduceus Possible Young ladies of the Photography staff receive expert advice from the vet- erans.

The Senior Pro Merito Society, a group of students making a B+ average throughout either their freshman, junior, or both years, enjoys not only the distinction of being a part of this state honor organization, but also of receiving some coveted privileges. For example, mem- bers can leave school early, if they have a last period study; are given an extra set of text books; and have the opportunity of studying in a special room set aside for them. However, Pro Merito has a two-fold purpose, that of encouraging better scholastic achievement throughout the school and of building higher personal character standards.

Murrill and Miss Rankin. During the school year of 1956-57, Pro Merito has held frequent meetings to discuss methods of raising money for book scholarships given annually to college preparatory members. Last fall the girls sold programs at football games in order to supplement this fund. To stimulate scholarship, a St. Valentine’s party was given by Pro Merito at midyear for the freshmen who had made the honor roll. Later, a dance, “February Frolic,’ was sponsored. The entire school was invited to attend this event. Scholastic work and social enjoy- ment thus go hand in hand for Pro Merito. 105 Kumtux Girls Promote Friendliness and Good Fellowship More Kumtux members are: seated, left to right: Bette Denesha, Cathy Ashe, Marilyn Molino, and Carol La- Francis.

During the day for your initiation, you go around the school wearing a head band to which is attached the symbolic yellow feather which shows everyone that you are to be a “Kumtux Girl.” Teen Age Book Club Offers Unique Student Reading Plan 106 Shown at left are TEEN AGE BOOK CLUB enthusiasts Paul Oldenburg, Elaine Gardner, Irene Gosciminski and David Goodman. The club is a unique plan, similar to adult book clubs, A wide range ot books is made available to students at low cost. Each month there are sixteen best pocket-size 25 cent and 35 cent books to choose from. A student may order as many or as few as he wishes. This year, the first dur- ing which the club has been in oper- ation here, the best seller has been Junior Miss, There are books for all tastes: animal stories, short stories, mysteries, romances, fiction and non- fiction. For every four books ordered a student receives another free. Once the club is organized, each member receives a copy of the four- page TAB news-page, which is filled with book reviews and comments by favorite authors. The Commerce fac- ulty adviser is Mr. Frederick Alien. When the Call Went Out, Many Were There to Answer Some of the volunteer typists were, left to right: Dolores Albano, Janet Arooth, Anne Gagne, Joyce Knudsen, Jacqueline Bouchard, and Pauline Tetreault. Absent: Edward Anderson, Barbara Hickey, and Dorothy Jesse- man. Sometime during the fall, a call went out to all seniors: “The Tuberculosis Association need vol- unteer typists to help them prepare the seal drive for this year.’ Over 100 civic-minded seniors answered the call and spent many hours in this worth-while work. During the time spent down at guidance of captains, the volunteers spent as much free time in helping this organization as they could. Mrs. Bertha T. Slater, seal sale director, said of the Commerce volunteer typists, “They took their responsibilities seriously and showed real efficiency the office of the Association, Commerce students processed over 108,000 pieces of mail.

The school Red Cross has been heavily aided by the Home Eco- nomics Department in making skirts, blouses and dresses, and in baking cookies. Its practical effect is to develop the mem- bers’ individual potentialities through ser- vice to others. Some participants were: Seated, Joyce Hoskin and Gail Kurtz, Vice-president. Standing, Carol Zanolli, Secre- tary; Ann Settembro, Treasurer; Patricia Zilinsky, and Kulli Konsberg. 107 Office Atdes Assume Heavy Share of Detail Work Since the counselors’ duties are numerous, it is necessary that they have help in some of the minor matters. For this necessary assistance they ask reliable girls to become office aides. The students are not picked for their marks but instead for their dependability and the interest shown in their work. Each counselor has at least one office aide every period of the day. The girls give up their regular study period to be there when needed. There are many ways in which the office aide tries to be helpful. Every day, when the bulletins are issued, an office aide looks up the absentees’ phone They save the counselor’s valuable time.

Be- tween delivering messages the office aides do typing and make out schedules. Each student has a private interview with his counselor during the year, and it is the office aides duty to make the appointments and in turn fill out the passes for the student. The office aides also help when the choice of study cards are prepared. In addition to helping the counselors, many times the girls are asked to run errands for the office. But in general thei: chief duty is to help the counselors in any way possible. Student Assistants Keep Library Neat and Useful Do you use the library? Many of the Commerce students do each day. Have you stopped to realize that when you want a book, the card catalogue is a ready reference that is kept up to date? And after you have found the number of the book, is it easy for you to locate it? Who keeps the catalogue and books ready and up-to-date for you? Miss Anderson and her staff of fourteen library as- .sistants work seven periods a day to keep the library assistants check passes for attendance and keep the display cabinets in the corridor opposite the library in agreement with the events of the month. They also _attend meetings, which are held regularly, type notices, and keep the bulletin board in the library itself in change of mode. What are the qualities of a good library assistant? She must volunteer for the job. She must thave patience, ability to develop leadership, responsi- bility and initiative. This group of girls work to keep neat and useful to the Commerce students. Outside of keeping the catalogue and books in order, the library the library a desirable place for students to do ready research work and to enjoy the benefits of reading. Browsing in Library Stimulates Unusual Hobby Edward Kamuda, who is pictured at the right, a senior at the High School of Commerce, has collected all sorts of information about the sinking of the Titanic. He has spent a great deal of time, effort, and money in building and enlarging this project. He has written to England, Ireland, and various parts of the United States for books, pictures, and maps concerning this tragic inci- dent; and he has compiled them in albums. In- cluded in this collection is a duplicate of the actual court hearing that was held in England. Edward started this interesting hobby during his freshman year at Commerce when one day he found a book in our school library about the Titanic, and ever since then he has centered his attention on gathering all the facts on the sinking of the Titanic. Audio-Visual Aids Help Make Class Room Work More {nteresting. The Audio-Visual Department of the High School of Commerce often is regarded as just an- other activity. Contrary to this idea, audio-visual aids to education are one of the most accurately named activities in our school program. They assist the teacher in conveying ideas to their class- es, and enrich the learnings of students by making these ideas more realistic. Often they motivate the pupil’s study activity more readily than text- books, blackboards, charts, and other classroom aids. At Commerce we have many capable students on the Audio-Visual staff. The ones whose assist- ance has been most vital to the organization are Carole Hamell, Allan Peck, and Edward Kamuda. The faculty co-ordinator, Mr. Harold W. Jones, Speakers Express Their Views in “Voice of Democracy Contest’’ Mary Ann Bolger was this year’s winner in the Voice of Domocracy contest sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. This is the second year in a row that Miss Bolger (center) has repre- sented Commerce in the city finals, and, accord- ing to all reports, she represented our school in a very commendable manner. Other contestants in the school eliminations were Janet Coughlin (left) and Patricia Easton (right). The contestants had to write a theme on “I Speak for Democracy” and had to read it in front of the judges. Good liction and_ expression counted as well as content matter in determining the winner. Mr. Harold Jones is shown at the left with his audio- visual aids. They are left to right: Allan Peck, Mr. Jones, Carole Hamell, and Edward Kamuda. has such confidence in them that he has placed the responsibility for student operations entirely in their hands. Their responsibilities are divided into the following categories: receive the teachers’ re- quests for use of audio-visual aids, assign classes to the projection rooms, and instruct capable stu- dents in the operation of various types of equip- ment, such as motion picture projectors, record players, opaque projectors, film strip machines, tape recorders, transparent slide projectors, etc. They are also responsible for procuring film mate- rials from outside sources, for returing them on schedule, and for numberous other tasks associated with the successful operation of an audio-visual program in a public school. Student Helpers Assist in Feeding the Hungry Mob Much credit for the smooth function- ing of the Commerce cafeteria is to be given to the two speedy, efficient Junior boys shown at work on the right: Richard Kampfer and William Jones. Before the rest of us are enjoying our lunches, Dick and Willie are setting up the trays and bus-wagons; and while we are relaxing after our meals, they are busy washing the counters, dishes, glasses, and pieces of silverware required for the serv- ing of seven hundred meals every day. They operate on a tight clock schedule which allows only twenty minutes to clean up after the first lunch sitting in time for the second. They take your money, but you don’t care, for you get your food in return. Shown below are the lunchroom cashiers. Seated, left to right: Eileen Wizber, Beverly Forrstrom, Sandy Schenck, Sally Teel, and Yvoma Robinson. Standing: Janice Vennard, Millie Wheeler, Jo- anne Albano, and Marilyn Hughes. The staff of the lunch room is assisted by a force of ten Junior girls who are chosen by Mr. Melville from those who volunteer at the end of their Freshmen year. These girls work at the cash registers and on the milk carts during both lunch periods, and are supervised by Mrs. Cummings. They handle about $40 a day, and come in con- tact with two hundred students and teachers. nearly There are two girls for each lunch line, a check- er who computes the charges and a cashier who takes the money. They alternate about once a month from checker to cashier, and they change partners periodically. The girls enjoy the work, and along with the experience they get in dealing with people and in handling money, they receive a small weekly salary. re G. O.

However, this did not hamper Coach Bruno Rumpal’s fight- ing nine, for they won 6 straight games, three of them in the Interschool League. By the spring vactation the Raiders sat in first place in the league. The win over Cathedral was the first for a Crimson nine since 1935. A win over Tech always brightens a season, and this was done by a score of 10-4. During the entire season the Raiders were in a nip-and-tuck battle for first place in the Inter- school League. However, on the last day of the season, Cathedral edged out Tech for the cham- pionship. But Commerce still received high rec- ognition for a berth in the Western Mass. Tourney. Cathedral, winners of the Inter-school league, were chosen instead of the Crimson and went on to the finals. The Raiders sent four men to the “All City Minor Haskell Right Field John Samson Catcher Star-Studded Squad Tops All Foes at Least Once; Almost Takes Championship Team.” John Samson, Bob Simpson and Mike Mould made the first team as catcher, pitcher and first base respectively, while Tom D’Agostino drew utility player on the second team. Samson, the team’s leading batter throughout the season, dropped to a .321 average at the finale. Simpson, _ the man with a “thousand curves,” ended up with a 6-2 record and a .320 batting average. Mould, considered by many as the best first baseman in Western Mass., ended up with a hefty .375 aver- age. Mould’s three-year average was a phenomenal 359. D’Agostinc, the other part of the Simson- D’Agostino combination, had a 4-1 record. A tip of th. hat should be given to Coach Bruno Rumpal. His drive and determination to win carried the Raiders through many a tight game. His substitution of Nicoli as a pinch hitter in the Classical game is an example of Rumpal’s coachmanship. With the Crimson on the short end of a 7-6 score, two out in the tenth and the bases jammed, Nicoli slammed out a base hit, driving in the trying and winning runs. Under the coaching of Wayland Holley, the Commerce J.V. baseball team won 3 and lost 0. Although talent was thin and the opponents were considerably stronger, the Raider undergrads showed spirit and hustle all the way. After drop- ping the first seven games by wide margins, the Raiders improved and played well during the last six. The boost in morale was due to the pitching of Leon Moquin. He pitched brilliantly against Trade, West Springfield, and Classical J.V. Those participating in the games were Denny Baron, Ronald Begin, Louis Calabrese, Wayne Cincotta, Peter Coles, Martin Dumschat, John Fitzgerald, ey Bill Flanders, Dave Goodman, Brian O’Brien, Bill Skala, and Dave Thibault.

Backfield Coach AI AI- minas is holding the ball. After a rest of over 13 years, football again appeared at Commerce. A total of 36 boys tried out for the various positions. With the exception of returnees of last year’s experimental team, Coach Tim Collins had very little seasoned material to work with. Yet Collins turned out a very good team. Although its record of 2-3 did not look ex- ceptionally good, there were several games which they narrowly lost. The opener against Longmeadow was not very successful, as the Raiders lost 6-0. The first Crim- son win came against Williston J.V. However, the best game played by Commerce was against a strong Simsbury squad. The Raiders, behind 13-7, marched 57 yards to the one yard line, only to have the gun sound, signaling the end of the game. In the fourth game, Commerce edged out the Suffield Reserves 6-0.

Louie Calabrese, the Raider’s agressive fullback, made the first team as a guard. Bob Simpson, a guard, Carm Capuano and Don Heyliger, the Crimson ends, and Ed Gearring, the quarterback, took hon- orable mention. Coach Collin’s first eleven stood in this order: Carm Capuano, left end; Dick Agnos, left tackle; Bob Simpson, left guard; Al Collings, center; Bob Anti, right end; Ed Gearring, quarterback; Willie Jones, left halfbock; Don Heyliger, right halfback, and Louie Calabrese, fullback.

Starting off the season with a 1-1 tie against Classical, the Crimson booters were not stopped until Tech did it by a 3-0 score. This was the only loss the Red Raiders had in inter-school league action. The other loss came at the hands of Ludlow in the Western Mass. Tourney. In the second Classical game, the Raider’s goalie, Marty Dumshat, factured his coller bone and was lost for the remainder of the season. The goal tending duties were taken over by Dave Thibault, who did an outstanding job from there on in. Thibault let only one goal go between the uprights, and he recorded 9 straight shutouts. By the end of the season, Commerce had one of the best over-all records in Western Mass. and the best a Crimson soccer team had compiled since 1936. At this time the team was picked to go to Above: In action are George Pehlvan- ian (38), Tom D’Agostino (fore- ground), and Peter Coles (37).

There they played a strong game but were defeated by Ludlow in a squeaker 1-0. When all records were entered in the books, Commerce had booted home 30 goals and had held their opponents to 5. The Raider goalies held their rivals scoreless 10 times. The Raiders lined up, with Thibault in the goal; Jim McCarthy and Tom Themistos at full- back; Roger Hannigan, Johnny Samson, and Dick Pond at halfback; and a strong line of Don Doza- czka, Bill Skala, Tom D’Agostino, Carl Ersing and Joe Foresi. Peter Coles and George Pehlvanian did most of the substituting. The Springfield Union recognized the skill of many of the players on the squad by choosing D’Agostino, Samson, Kozaczka, and McCarthy on the All-City first team. Themistos, Ersing, and Thibault represented Commerce on the second team. Soccer Produces the Year’s Second Near-Champion The biggest factors in Commerce’s success this season were two men. The first was Tom D’Agostino, who was undoubtly the best soccer player in the area. His goals were high in Western Massachusetts and tied him with his’ brother, Vinnie, who also scored 17 in an earlier season for Commerce. The other man who produced this winning combination was Coach Bruno Rumpal. A veteran of soc- cer, Coach Rumpal gave many helpful hints to all of the players. His determination and anxiety to win carried the Raiders through many a tight game. SOCCER SCHEDULE Commerce Opponents a eee Re Me eg okie see ime, a Os 1 meres: Pee moprinetield 5).

After winning the opener against Longmeadow, Commerce promptly lost the second one to Cathedral 63-43. This, however, made the Raiders more determined to win. They won their next four games, beating Monson twice, Agawam and Trade. They then lost to Tech 54-43 and were edged out by Simsbury 60-57 in the last minute of play.

They became the first Springfield team to do this and the only city team to win any kind of a tourna- ment this season. The Raiders showed their scoring power in the first game on March 7th to beat Amherst High School. The game, being a low scoring one, looked like anyone’s ball game until late in the third period. Then Commerce unleashed a scoring spree that put the game on ice. The final score was Commerce 45 and Amherst 38. Because Commerce beat Amherst in the first game, the Raiders returned on Friday to play South Hadley. The South Hadley Tigers, winners of the Hampshire League, entered the game with a 19-1 record. They were a strong favorite to beat the Crimson. But at half time the Raiders were leading 28-23. During the third period the lead changed hands 6 times, with the Tigers emerg- ing from the tussle with a 34-31 lead. However, Coach Tom Collins then proceeded to switch the Crimson defense from a zone to a man-for-man. This move threw South Hadley off guard while Commerce started to click. The Raiders scored 11 points to the Tiger’s 4 and won the game 42-38. Returning for the third and final tournament contest, the Commerce five were to face the St.- Joseph Gaels. The Gaels beat the Raiders the sea- son before in the B division of the Tourney. Like the previous game, Commerce was the underdog. The game was a nip-and-tuck affair all the way, with Bob Simpson and Paul Ward tossing the deciding points late in the fourth quarter.

Ue RE Se UT WHE itt} afl Tennis, Fencing, Badminton—They All Keep a Girl Trim Did you want to improve your skill in tennis, or begin to learn the game? Well, you should have gone to the after school classes in tennis. Many girls brought their rackets to school to participate. The classes, under Mrs. Richardson’s su- pervision, were held to help improve the girls’ skills in tennis. They were held either at the courts at Blunt Park or at Forest Park. As well as to help girls improve their skill, the classes got other girls interested in the sport. When Mrs. Richardson taught these newcomers the correct way in which to serve and to stroke, they soon became very interested in a great sport. On guard! Touchez! If you happened to pass the girls’ gym on Tuesday night, you probably thought a duel of some sort was going on. As you furthered your investiga- tion, however, you found it to be our ener- getic Commerce-ites whirling to a new sport here at the school, fencing. Under the supervision of Miss Marilyn Owen of the Physical Education Depart- ment, the girls acquired many skills of the game as well as the proper fencing tech- niques. Girls engaging in the game donned pro- tective masks in learning the correct way to handle a foil. Since the response to this new sport was good, larger groups will be formed when more equipment is obtained. Badminton, always a desired sport here at Commerce, was heartily enjoyed again this year. Mrs. Barbara Richardsons’ Junior gym classes tried what proved to be a successful hand at the game. Much excitement pre- vailed during the season as competitive teams tried to outplay each other. After many matches, however, the winning teams included Judy Hartley, and Joyce Carrow, Joyce Letourneau and Betty Manseau, and Rosemary Angelides and Joan Kapecki. Badminton is a sport which requires much co-ordination and a certain amount of swinging power. The girls achieved both these skills in learning the proper techniques of the game. 131 Ice Skating at the Coliseam Chases Winter Woes Away What was that we saw in the halls in January and February? Girls with ice skates: That’s about it. Each Wednesday afternoon, Commerce girls, joined by girls from Tech and Classical, boarded a chartered bus for the Coliseum. There the girls, along with Mrs. Richardson, enjoyed an afternoon ’ of skating. They enjoyed learning fancy jumps and spins from fellow stu- dents. Of course, an occasional fall on the ice was not uncom- mon, but the ride isn’t always smooth. Above: This group enjoyed the Coliseum ice.

The GAA evolved about twenty years ago to provide a means for enabling girls to participate in sports and have fun. The girls who belong to the GAA have an opportunity to compete in many different activities, often in contests with other schools. The other pages of this section of Ca- duceus suggest their scope and variety. If the girls participate each year for three years and earn 30 points, they receive a certificate. If they earn 20 extra points, they become the recip- jents of a beautiful GAA pin.

Ten years ago, we were graduated from the High School of Commerce. I am stand- ing outside of our new auditorium, which was donated by Ed Kamuda, the mayor of Indian Orchard. As I look up and down the street, I notice a shiny black Cadillac arriving. As the door opens, it's none other than John Samson, the general manager and star catcher of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team. John assures me that George Grea- lis, Carm Capuano, Carl Ersing, and Joe Foresi are doing very well at Dodgertown. He says they are the best peanut and popcorn venders he’s ever hired. As for George Pehlvanian, he’s still trying to pick up ground balls at Ruth Elizabeth Play- ground (and girls at Commerce). Next, a long, low sports car comes into view. Who appears but those famous ‘Triads,’ whose latest hit is ““There’s A Tear In My Beer Tonight.” Chugging up the street comes an old Model T Ford. Behind the wheel is none other than Jim McCarthy, star plumber of Springfield. He’s just signed a contract to do the exclusive plumbing on Richardo Pond’s tuba! Richardo plays. the tuba in Tom D’Agostino’s Crazy Calypso Combo, which features Don Juan Heyliger and Cha-Cha Joe Bass. With a cloud of smoke, we see Dave Rushlow riding his powder blue motorcycle up the street. He is now executive president of the Motorcycle Club of Springfield. Next comes a long, low foreign car. Out hop twelve little poodles, followed by Miss Patricia 142 Zilinsky, top fashion designer of the country. She has just finished designing an exclusive gown for Miss Sandra Laporte, who has recently been voted the best-dressed in the United States. But, who are those twelve little boys walk- ing the poodles? They belong to none other than Mrs. Barbara—well, her last name used to be Vacirca. Bev Marsden and Jackie Lemelin, two old friends, are now coming up the walk. And that gentleman between them is Bob Bastien, of course! All three are doing a night club act in Reno called) Whe I-Shirt Blues Walking up with her apron still on is our model homemaker, the former Barbara Sharby. She is talking with Roslyn Broder and Roberta Sachs, two tycoons in the bakery business. I see they still like pastries! woman Someone is being wheeled in on a portable bed. Of course, it’s none other than that old sleepy head, Dave Sylvester. He looks very annoyed be- cause three little cheerleaders are making a great deal of noise. Why doesn’t their daddy, Bruce Campbell, stop them? Mike Raffaele, now known as the most eligible bachelor in the U.S., has, of course, two young debutantes on his arm, Miss Carol Johnson and Miss Elaine Savage. Celinda Catalucci, who won an Olympic gold medal for talking four straight hours without a breath, is being questioned by those famous tele- IN ‘57 CHIVALRY WAS NOT DEAD... Prophecy 96 phone operators, Nancy Siciliano, Susan Bruno Barbara Bean, Leona Proulx, Lois Adams and Jo- anna Mendrick. Joyce Burr and Connie Cannon, who have be- come famous lawyers in New York, are attending this reunion. Bill Skala tells me he has made a buck invent- ing invisible cigarettes which can be smoked at any age without parents or teachers catching on. There goes Judy Daigle who was in the news recently when she dared to be the first woman to travel to the moon as the guest of Westover Air Force Base. Carol Albert, the new dean of boys at A.1.C., is talking to two old friends, Dr. Joan Luc- ier, Wilbraham’s only verterinarian, and her nurse Rose Brackinisky. Josephine Bowler, Miss Con- necticut Valley Tobacco Queen of 1962, is shak- DAY AFTER THE PROM : ing hands with Mr. Montagna. Finally! Wow! Here comes a big black limousine. Out steps the former Anne Smith. As former president of Junior Achievement, Anne is now the first wo- ‘an president of the United States! She is being corted by the Governor of Massachusetts, The Ionorable David Thibault. Behind her is Beverly Raffenetti, now official money counter for the United States. This is because of her extreme love for economics! Damtere 1s Jeannette Skarzynski, well-known eoming up the walk. She tells me that she just 143 returned from a trip to Bermuda, where she met Diane Ledger, that famous woman engineer, and Mr. and Mrs. Phil Tuohey with Junior. Who’s this coming with a big cigar sticking out of his mouth? It’s Tom Potter, who finally struck it rich! Tom is now the manager of the Stop and ‘Steal Market, located on Mt. Washington. Approaching are those two new school teachers, Allen Peck and Carol Sergel. Al, who will soon replace Mr. Jones in the chemistry lab, has Harvey and Carolyn Gauthier’s little girl in his Biology class. Carol, on the other hand is conducting a course in speech called, “How to talk like a tape recorder going backwards.” Here come a group of Hollywood celebrities. Miss Maureen Scott and Miss Susan Petelle have just finished making a movie together in Rome. With them is Portia Peters, who just won an Oscar for her performance in ‘“CCome Here, Eman- uel.” Here come Charlie Flannigan and Al Smith, who have sung their way to stardom. Pat Humph- ries, new dramatic Broadway star, is talking to Gerry Combs, who has her own television show. Also, Ann Spaulding and Joyce Stacy are quite famous as members of the New York Rockettes. Well, here come Roger Hannigan, who is now a distinguished Hollywood producer. His latest film is entitled ,““Varzan and the Buana Spears.” Well, it’s time to go in now and hear that dis- tinguished lecturer and Nobel prize winner Edward Anderson deliver his speech. It’s been nice chat- ting with you. Signed: Your Friend, The Doorman So Long!
