IN DEDICATION TO MR. RAYMOND ELLISON This year the High School of Commerce salutes Mr. Raymond H. Ellison who has recently completed ten years as adviser to the Caduceus Yearbook Staff. His guidance has proved invaluable in helping his stu- dents to create the annual yearbook, Caduceus. Having begun his advising career in 1957, Mr. Ellison has been highly praised by his immediate supervisors for doing an “excellent and outstanding” job. Mr. Ellison’s tenure as adviser was culminated last year when the High School of Commerce yearbook received a first-class rating. Those who worked on the yearbook staff are well aware of the in- valuable assistance they obtained from Mr. Ellison. There were numer- ous occasions when he gave up much of his leisure time to proofread names or layouts in order to alleviate the burdens of his students. Mr. Ellison was graduated from Clark University in 1942 with an A.B. Degree. In 1948 he secured his A.M. Degree from Brown Uni- versity. After teaching for three years at Milford Preparatory School, Mr. Ellison came to the High School of Commerce in 1955, where he has been teaching English ever since. Mr. Ellison leaves his position in the capable hands of Mr. Thaddeus J. Ciesluk, to whom all the members o f the Caduceus Staff wish the best of luck. The Staff will always remember and appreciate the excellent and invaluable advice which had been bestowed on them by Mr. Ellison.

ORE WORL For the past three years, a student has made the High School of Commerce his home away from home. One of the most important facets of a high school education is the possession of enthusiasm toward one’s work, toward one’s fellow students and teachers, and perhaps most important, toward one’s school. This enthusiasm is the magic ingredient called School Spirit. It originates when a student is willing to give of himself to make his school better. Because we the students feel that this plays a very important part in all activities in school life, we dedicate the 1967 Caduceus to School Spirit.
