Philip A. Sweeney, Principal Mr. Sweeney received his A.B. from American International College and his A.M. from Harvard University, where he also studied an additional year in Eng- lish. As everyone in Commerce knows, he holds many tennis titles throughout New England, two of which are Western Massachusetts Singles and Doubles Cham- pionships. In his spare time he enjoys reading; while in school he uses much of his time helping students realize their potential. Because of his interest in all of the students’ activities, he keeps “a finger in every pie!’ By his thoughtful- ness to everyone, he continually proves his aversion to inconsiderate, unkind people. When asked for a message to Commerce students, he replied, “The Kantian Categorical Imperative!’ (C t’s in most good dictionaries under ‘‘cate- gorical!’’) School Administration Superintendent, Dr. T. Joseph McCook Deputy Superintendent, Dr. M. Marcus Kiley Assistant Superintendent, Alice B. Beal Assistant Superintendent, Joseph E. Buckley

Miss Midura attended American Inter- national College for her B.S., Springfield College for her M.Ed., and the University of Connecticut for her Ph.D. Away from school, her hobbies include reading and sewing. Because she is constantly occupied with the attendance records and personal problems of the students, it is not sur- prising that lazy people are her most common annoyance. Always’ concerned with the conduct of Commerce people, she has as her favorite expression, ‘There is a time and place for everything.’” Miss Midura believes that in order to succeed in life, one must have faith, hope, and charity.
