The school seemed big and scary to us but we were ready to learn all there was to know about the school and its rules. The year got off to a good start with the class elections. Our first class officers were Vanessa Lyons, President, Lori-Ann Bronson, Vice-President, and Tan- ya Watkins, Secretary, who ran our affairs with the help of Student Council members Wilda Hernandez, Pauline Major, Fran Walker, Faith Williams, Sonya Williams, and Crystal Shaver. We didn’t have many activities that year but it was a good year and a smooth beginning. We looked forward to the next two years. On September 9, 1983, we walked into the High School of Commerce as Juniors, ready to show the entering Freshmen how to succeed in high school. We started the school year with 273 girls and 125 boys. The election for the Junior year ran smoothly with Pauline Major elected as our President, Begaina Lopez as our Vice-President, and Vanessa Lyons as Secretary. Also elected for Student Council were Crystal Shaver, Cynthia Hauschild, Robert Sears, Wilda Hernandez, and Steven Macaris. As Juniors we began to get get into the swing of things. We showed our school spirit by wearing our Class of 1985 rings and our Class of 1985 shirts. Toward the end of the year we ordered our Senior hats, which really made us feel big. Our activities for the year consisted of a carwash in the spring, a flower sale, and a food pantry. The money we raised was spent on a successful Junior Prom which was held at the Colosseum. Everyone looked beautiful, especially the Queen and her Court. The Queen was Damaris Carde and her Court consisted of Crystal Shaver, Marcel Turner, Wilda Hernandez, Elizabeth Adams, Cynthia Hernandez, Lisa Furlani, and Laura Rickus. Well our Junior Year was fun but it soon came to an end. We couldn’t wait until fall to return as Seniors. On September 9, 1984, the Class of 1985 walked in the High School of Commerce with our heads held high, we finally made it SENIORS! We wore our Senior hats and Senior Class shirts to let everyone know we were the head of the school and the best class ever. Senior elections resulted in Anthony Cuffie as President, Maria Lisboa as Vice-President, Wilda Hernan- dez as Secretary, and Student Council members Carlos Torres, Robyn John- son, Kelly Marshall, Lorenzo Manna, Amelia Frijia, and David Townsend. The year got off to a good start and we conducted many activities such as a jewelry sale, a sale of football jerseys, and a raffle for which the first prize was a walkman, the second prize fifteen dollars, and the third prize ten dollars. These activities went well and we profited by all of them. We got all of our class dues paid and ordered our caps and gowns and before we knew it, we were almost at the end of our high school career! On May 8, everyone gathered at the Greek Cultural Center to mark the beginning of the most memorable activities of our Senior Year. The Senior Banquet was a success and everyone had a good time. As we prepared for our final exams we were all so very excited about the long awaited Senior Prom. On May 15, we all got together at the Chez Josef to have our formal dinner- dance. It was like a dream come true. After a delicious dinner, the dancing got started with the introduction of the Queen and her Court. The Queen was Damaris Carde and the Court con- sisted of Crystal Shaver, Mirdali Ramos, Laura Rickus, Shellis Edwar ds and anita Harris. After along hard week of exams we all gathered together to celebrate the traditional Class Day Ceremonies which which were held on May 24. Finally Graduation Day arrived. On June 3, 1985 we walked down the aisle of the Civic Center proud as could be to receive our diplo- mas. It was a very happy time for us but also very touching. It was a time we will all cherish for the rest of our lives. It was a wonderful Class of 1985 Graduation. Looking Forward Year 2005 Brings 20th Reunion For Class Of 1985 It’s the year 2005 and over 200 people are getting prepared for the Class of 1985 High School of Commerce 20 Year Reunion. The reunion is held in the first underwater city designed by Yvette Johnson. The reunion commences with our Class President Anthony Cuffie, now President of the United States making a speech. His speech involves our class members’ accomplishments. He speaks modestly of his achievement as President of the United States and also of achievements of Vice-President Maria Lisboa and Secretary of State Wilda Hernandez. He also recognized the great work of the other graduates of Commerce. Lisa Stovall was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for developing a cure for cancer and Javier Berrios was given a great achievement award for the first successful brain transplant. He also talks of the outstanding athletes, Christopher Borders, a star quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, Phillip Warren, Kyle Burke, Arthur Miles, and Clarence Jones who are now playing professional basketball for the NBA. He ended his speech by having the class thank Begaina Lopez and Steven Macaris for making this reunion possible. For entertainment Renee Davis and Jeffrey Hamilton sang their new hit song, recently released. We also listened to the choir which consists of Marla Bruce, Cindy Hauschild, Robyn Johnson, Renee Barrett, Nadine Housey, Tracy Mock, Tracy Clemons, Dianna Giddings, Mildred Cintron, Angela Hammerick, Rhonda Carmichael, Tanya Watkins, and Darlene Pasteris perform. We also enjoy two famous comedians, Shellie Paskins and David Smith. The class of 1985 has produced many talented people. Fran Walker is a well-known actress who has just released a new movie called ““The Lady in Red.” Shellis Edwards, Kastrina Green, and Lisa Furlani are very successful models for our professional photographers Carlos Torres and Christopher Brown. Michele Ford and Amelia Frijia are very successful head nurses for General Hospital. General Hospital. As the reunion progresses, we find that many of our graduates lead exciting lives. Tiffany Jones, Faith Williams, Marcell Turner, Crystal Shaver, and Colleen Porter are now cheering enthusiastically for the Dallas Cowboys. Brian Towle, Yancey Robinson and Monti Finney are very accomplished designers of mens’ clothes. We also have many successful business owners. Calvin Grace, Dabney Gregory, and Wilfredo Lopez own a club called ‘‘Play- boys.’ Nancy Manzi, Demaris Carde, Gina Mirski, and Hanna Ruckeis have been given jobs as bunnies in the club. Cassandra Hill owns a Beauty Salon, which is very prosperous. She has a business associate and head accountant, Elizabeth Adams, who has helped the business very much. Mr. Matthew Poehler and Mrs. Gina Poehler own a Dating Business which has been popular in other countries. Leslie Barcomb, Sonya Williams, Colleen Austin, Tjwan Cooney, Michael Barna, Patricia and Catherine Beauvais, Lisa Cook, Renee Harris, and Anita Zavala also own successful and prosperous corporations. Gradually, the wonderful reunion comes to an end. Although it’s over, we will remember it forever thanks to Carla Tucker and her new crew consisting of Audra Renu, Kim Porter, Roy Goodman, and Stephanie Mag- gipinto, who video-taped this event. Last but not least, special thanks to Rhonda Starks, Lisa Ashwell and Re- nee Bongiovanni for preparing the evening’s dinner. Everyone agrees that this reunion is the best reunion the High School of Commerce will ever have. We, The Class Of 1985, Do Hereby Bequeath _. PwWNH re .

The clothes they wear are suitable for students who want the look of a variety of current styles — casual, preppy, daring, or just plain comfortable. Commerce’s varied student population is clearly re- flected in the variety of styles that appear at Commerce and the many ways each individual adapts a style to suit his her personal taste. Many choose to look preppy but add touches of traditional garb in an effort to be daring. Polo shirts, Izod sweaters, khakis, jeans skirts, pumps, loafers, and other staples of this look are spiced up with trendy accessories such as coordinat- ing argyle socks, lacy anklets, ties for both sexes, headbands and bows, and colorful watches that can match most any outfit. Preppy is popular, yet others choose a very put-together but more casual look. The dressy business look is modeled by Marcel Turner. 50 Student Life Variety Of Fashion Styles Are Fashion jeans, two-tones especially, are an important staple in this category. Most any type of jean can be seen accessorized in a variety of ways. This year’s fashion favorites, Shaker knits and flourescent colors, appear regularly at Commerce. The casual look is perfect for students who want to feel comfortable but not look sloppy or uncaring. Ease is stressed but appropriateness is always considered. Jeans, cords, casual shirts, sweatshirts, sneakers, boots and windbreakers can all be part of an important fashion state- ment. As Commerce trains students to per- form successfully in the business world, appropriate dress for the business world is also taught. The business look is per- haps the most important fashion style at Commerce. It is a fashion style that Com- merce teachers definitely follow and in which they set fine examples for their students. The business look is one of ease and function. It allows students to make Above, Commerce spirit wear is always in style according to Deborah Hunt. Below, Carlos Torres displays the Shaker knit and two-tone jeans fashion trends. individual fashion statements while ap- pearing appropriate for all but the most casual or dressy occasions. For gentle- men, tailored pants, coordinating jackets, dress shirts in a variety of cuts and fab- tics, dress sweaters, and sometimes full suits comprise this look. For ladies, a gentler cut of these same fashion staples is adapted. Sometimes actual menswear can be worn by the ladies for a dramatic but still appropriate look. Dressy skirts and blouses are paired as definite favor- ites in this category. Tailored dresses are also popular as business wear. Typical Commerce students, although in training for the business world, tend to favor a variety of styles. Wardrobe pieces are mixed and matched to achieve a mul- titude of individual looks. Trendy styles are noted, adapted and worn tastefully. Observing the fashions worn by Com- merce students and faculty provides a contemporary sense of fashion style for a variety of ages and lifestyles.

All Art classes did portraits and according to Mrs. Schumann, they were “the best portraits ever.” The students in the Art I Class did an outstanding job. Throughout the year, they developed their skills through the various projects they did. The Art Il classes did many projects such as acrylic “Sad Puppy” was done by Senior John Pietronino. Gordon Morgan did a montage of scary things at night. 52 Student Life painting, old English Calligraphy and sculpture. The Art III classes did silk screening and many portraits of people in their class and outside the class, as well as celebrities. On May 3rd, the Art students went to New York for a field trip. There they went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see paintings, sculptures, architecture, portraits, drawings, glass ceramics and metal work from a ll over the world. Then toured through the famous Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art. It was a wonder- ful memorable trip to finalize the year at Commerce. With the combined effort of the Music, History and the Art Departments, the Black History play was produced in Feb- ruary. The Art students helped with the sets and costumes.

The first woman was nominated to run for Vice-President of the United States. America won a pot of gold medals in the summer Olympics. Heart transplant surgery advanced to the implanting of a baboon heart in a child. A madcap movie about ghost hunters become a box-office smash. Politics dominated a good portion of the year with the race for the White House. The crowded Democratic candidate field withered down to a bitter battle between Walter Mondale and Gary Hart. Mondale won and the Democrats made his- tory by nominating a New York Congresswoman, Geraldine Ferraro, as his running mate. However, Ferraro was flooded by questions about her hus- band’s financial dealings. In the end, President Reagan was victorious with the biggest landslide win in 12 years, carrying every state but Mon- dale’s home, Minnesota. But another world leader met with tragedy. On October 31, 1984, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, 66, was shot to death outside her New Delhi home by two of her bodyguards. Fate once again dealt a blow to the Kennedys when the late Robert F. Kennedy’s son David, 28, was found dead of a drug overdose. Our advancements and our setbacks, our victo- ries and our tragedies made this year an exciting time. Through it all, we savored our triumphs and survived our defeats with style. Geraldine Ferraro made history as the first woman nominated for Vice President on the Democratic ticket. President Reagan was re-elected in a landslide victo- ry in November. wa’ f ¢ .

Neww Ecdlitionr: Popular group New Edition was favored for its video “‘Cool It Now.” ‘The Word Is Out’ The chart breakers in music this year were Prince, Madonna, Tina Turner, and Cindy Lauper. Prince took not only the music industry by storm but also the movie industry, with his blockbuster hit movie Purple Rain. The movie won wide acclaim and singles such as “When Doves Cry,” “‘Purple Rain,’’and “Let’s Go Crazy,”’ were heard for months. Madonna, who made bare midriffs fashionable, released such singles as “Like a Virgin” and ‘Material Girl’’ to see them top the music charts. Tina Turner made such a successful comeback with her ‘Private Dancer” album that she was presented with various awards. Cindi Lauper won fame with her outrageous outfits and broke re- cords with her album ‘‘She’s So Unusual.”’ She is the only debut artist in music history to have had four singles in the top five on the music charts, making Cindi very unusual! Other notable entertainers were: Wham, who woke America up with their single “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go’’, Sheila E. who chose the “‘Glam- orous Life’’; Bruce Springsteen was proud to be “Born in the U.S.A.’’: Sheena Easton strut and built herself “Sugar Walls’’; Diana Ross paid tribute to the late soul singer, Marvin Gaye, with her single ‘‘Miss- ing You”; and with all the publicity and paparrazzi from last year one has to mention Michael Jackson who won 8 Grammies and finished his top selling tour with his brothers in November. High School of Commerce Seniors had their own preferences in music this year. Superstars Prince and Madonna topped the list for favorite singers with New Edition winning the honors as favorite group as well as favorite video for their tape of ‘Cool It Now.” Favorite song was “The Word Is Out’’ by Jermaine Stewart. Student Life 57 Members Promote Current Events The Current Events Club works to help its members and the school community become more aware of current events in our society today. Club members work on a variety of projects to bring about social change. With active leaders and participants, the organization was able to collect $350.00 for the famine victims in Ethio- pia. The Current Events Club also spon- sored an assembly at which the Rev. Ron- ald Peters discussed apartheid. Club members then launched a petition drive urging President Reagan to help end apartheid in South Africa. The Current Events Club served the High School of Commerce with style by helping students become better informed about the world in which they live. Mem- bers of the club learned ways to voice their opinions to bring about social change. By stressing the need for people to get involved and help others, this club made some positive contributions to stu- dent awareness of current social prob- lems.

That is what makes the High School of Commerce Bloodmobile so successful. The Bloodmobile Commit- tee didn’t wait for donors to come to them. There were many posters and the committee members went right into the rooms looking for people willing to help. This year, selected committee mem- al. os bers were able to attend a seminar at Mercy Hospital. The seminar was held prior to our blood drive and included di- rections on how to have a successful blood drive, and a visit to a lab. The Commerce Bloodmobile resulted in 85 pints of blood from students and faculty members. Similar results were achieved in the April drive. The Blood- mobile Committee consisted of Lori Bronson, Kon Groux, Brian Towle, Cas- sandra Hill, Renee Davis, Begaina Lopez. Carol Holland and faculty advisor Miss Hogan.

Student Life 77 Students Get Into The Act With Drama Club The Drama Club of the High School of Commerce provides any interested stu- dents with an opportunity to participate in the many facets of a stage perfor- mance. This club meets regularly after school on Tuesdays and the many interested participants study various stage tech- niques and practice all aspects of elocu- tion as applied to stage presentations. Mime, pantomine, monolog ues, dialogues Drama Club rehearsals are fun. Club members read to perfect their character portrayals. 78 Student Life and play readings enhance the abilities of neophyte actors and actresses. Work- shops present opportunities for concen- trated study of presentation techniques, makeup skills, stage set construction and costuming. Students attend presentations by other Drama groups and guest speak- ers present interesting aspects of play production at Drama Club meetings. After the intensive-introduction to all aspects of the theater, a talent show was scheduled and the second half of the year was spent preparing to present a variety of skits for the school and invited guests.

After Mr. Basili greeted the parents and guests and explained the importance of becoming involved in the Commerce Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), a movie entitled “‘Drinking, Driving, and You” was shown. This movie and the brief presentation introducing it, pro- vided both the adults and the students with thought provoking facts about the dangers of mixing alcohol with driving.

The Band played a wide range of music en- _compassing both old and new favorites. | Students and teachers were encouraged to get up and dance in the aisles and on stage. This event was sponsored by Staff Ser- geant Geary, recruiter for Commerce and Classical high schools. According to Sat. Geary, “Commerce is an excellent school and deserves occasional relief from the daily grind.” The Army Band Concert provided an excellent opportunity for students to see an unconventional and positive aspect of Army life. The Army has always been positively associated with Commerce as Commerce has had five percent of the graduating classes pursue careers in the service.

The audience of Commerce students, faculty and staff also included distin- guished administrators from the Spring- field School Department and the com- plete Springfield School Committee. This adaptation of Johnson’s work was highlighted by stirring performances by the Gospel Choir and Robert Johnson who danced the role of God. Beautiful scenery which was prepared with the as- sistance of Mrs. Schumann’s Art classes complimented the excellent presentation.

Although inexperience caught up with them mid-way into the season and forced the Raiders out of the playoff picture, the boys still finished with 5 wins and 7 losses. This was one of the best finishes for a Varsity Baseball Team in the past few years. At the start of the season, the Raiders mowed down Tri-County League opponents Putnam, Pathfinder, and Monson. The biggest victory of the season came on May 18, when they beat Ware in Ware by the score of 4 to 2. Lorenzo Manna and Brian Towle shared the pitching duties throughout the season and according to Coach Dougal, “seemed to get better after every game.” Orlando Lopez, team captain, took care of the duties behind the plate. He was also lead-off hitter for the Raiders and came through with many clutch hits. Also sparking the Raider attack were Batting Title winner Glen Edmonds and Coach’s Award Recipients Roy Goodman (shortstop) and Steve McCray (second base). In addition, Ken Wilson (outfield) supplied a heavy bat for the Raiders. Next year’s team should improve in the experience category with 9 players from the Varsity eligible to return. Also, a good crop of players from the Junior Varsity Team (which finished 4 and 4) will be looking for spots on the Varsity Team.

The Lady Raiders had seven wins and five losses and just missed qualifying for the Western Massachusetts High School Softball Tournament. The 1984 team was made up of five seniors, eight juniors and six freshmen. Under the direction of Coach Wroblewski, the Lady Raiders proved to be a strong contender once again. The Raider Seniors showed their offensive power in helping to raise the team batting average to a hefty .379. Elsa Martinez paced the attack with a .611 average. Leading power hitters also included Maria “‘Milly’’ Robles who had 20 RBI’s and a .405 average and Maria Torres who had 16 RBI’s and a .390 average. The future of the Raider program looks bright with versatile defensive crack- erjacks Cindy Moquin and Ruth Demers. In addition, the offensive slack will be picked up by Karen Rosati who hit a .438 clip this past season. Certainly, the Raider future looks outstanding. The Red will be a strong contender in 1985 and a tournament selection should be a definite possibility.

Athletics 99 Individuals Shine For Lady Raiders Individualism was the key word for the 1984 Girls’ Track Team. The team consisted of only 17 members who were outnumbered by their opponents at every meet. This meant that some individuals had to run in more than one. event, sometimes running two or more events consecutively. Despite these factors, the team members worked hard at every practice and meet. The team was led by Senior Captains Yovona Brown (Most Valuable Player), Wanda Hernandez, and Maria Gonzalez. Yovona and Wanda were the only members to participate in the Class B Individual meet this year. Yovona placed Second in the high-jump and Wanda placed Fourth in the javelin throw. These were only two of the many individuals who shined for the girls. Other individuals who worked hard for the Raiders were April Gaudet (hurdles), Brenda Maillet (1 mile run), and Jetaun Murphy (440 run). All of these girls, along with their teammates, deserve a lot of credit for their hard work throughout the season. According to Coach Williams, ‘““The distance runners were very tenacious in their practice. Also, the hurdlers showed excellent potential as the season progressed.” The major weak point on the team was the lack of sprinters. With thirteen members eligible to return and with much experience gained during this past season, the Raiders should be very competitive in 1985.

This success was attributed to the togetherness of the team, on and off the field. All season long the team worked very hard. According to first year Coach Kim Varzeas, ‘‘To single out one person is impossible-everyone from the seniors all the way down to the managers held his own.” At the beginning of the 1984 soccer season, the goal of the team was merely to win 4 or 5 games. But after a 3-1-1 start, a berth in the tourney and the division title were now in sight. In the process of winning their first 3 games, the Raiders defeated city rival Tech, 4 to 1. The boys surprised their opponents with a balanced scoring attack in which 13 of 19 players put at least one goal in the net. The majority of the goals were scored by linemen Wayne Davidson, Kemmy Ocampo and Carlos Vargas. The defense was anchored by junior walk-on goalie Orlando Fuentes and senior fullbacks Matt Fairman and Steve McCray. Next year’s team will have their work cut out for them. Once again, the division will be very competitive and the loss of 5 seniors will hurt. But the number of underclassmen returning will help. Ocampo and Vargas will head the offense and the defense will be lead by Bernard Remy, Jaime Goncalves, Willie Rodrigues and of course goalie Fuentes. Felix Escobar looks for an open teammate. 102 Athletics Bi Mai asi Right Wing Wayne Davidson concentrates on the ball.

Moquin, Murphy, and sophomore sensation Kelly Weeks accounted for 36 of the Raiders goals. All three will be back next year and will keep the Raiders Scoring Machine in gear. Halfback Peters along with Sandy Flowers, Gina Ferrera, and Kris Schmidt helped control the movement of the ball so that the Raider front line could do its thing. The stingy Raider defense had five shutouts. Artioli was aided by the tena- cious play of senior fullbacks Roni Gardner and Carolyne Flowers, junior fullback Kellie Schmidt, and sophomore fullback Dawn Hearn. The Red Wave showed their improvement with a stunning 3-2 victory over number one ranked Monson. The Raiders for the first time in the history of Commerce girls’ soccer had beaten the Mustangs and were on their way to the Western Mass Tournament. In the tournament the Raiders were pitted against city rival Classical. The Raiders lost to a respectable score of 5-1.

They faltered from last year’s 15-2 Tri-County Division Co-Championship season by securing a 0- 11 record this season. After losing 11 straight games, the girls decided to forfeit the remaining 6 league games, due partially to the new grade policy which caused a number of players to be dismissed from the team for academic reasons. The new grade policy at first required any person partici- pating in extracurricular activities to secure a ““C”’ grade in every major subject, and this precipitated the decision to cease playing. The Raiders were unsuccessful in the 1985 season primarily because only two players of the eight players who were eligible returned. Most positions had to be filled by inexperienced players, therefore. The team was once again coached by Mr. Ken Olejarz and was led by Senior Sharp-Shooter Vonetta Holliday, the team’s leading scorer. Vonetta was a key factor in the Raider’s closest match, a two point loss to Smith Vocational. According to Coach Olejarz, the 100% commitment needed from each individual was missing this year. Several factors therefore com- bined to create the straw that broke the Raider’s back. The future of Girls’ Basketball at the High School of Commerce depends solely on the desire of the girls to play the game. Only 24 of 700 girls in the school signed up to try out for the team. If the percentage of girls who want to participate remains so small, the newly inaugurated Junior Varsity and Varsity Girls Basketball program will not survive.

Athletics 109 Raiders Earn © Tournament Berth The High School of Commerce Red Raiders for the 15th consecutive year will participate in the prestigious Western Massachusetts High School Basket- , ball Tournament. The Raiders finished at 12 wins and 5 losses, good enough to be placed third in the newly revised Valley League Division. Once again, the competition was tough and they had a long hard schedule. The Raiders opened up the 1985 season with three consecutive wins which tied them for first place with pre-season-favorite Putnam. The decisive losses to city rivals, Putnam and Tech, later in the season dropped the Raiders from first place to third, where they stood for the remainder of the season. Led by their starting five, Juniors Gary Bestman (center), Gary Perry (forward), William Shepard (forward), Chucky Jacobs (guard), and Senior Captain David Jackson (guard), the hoopsters survived the many close con- tests. These five players and their teammates proved that hard work pays off, as the team carries a five-game winning streak into the tournament. No single individual could be cited as the Most Valuable Player on the team as it was a balanced scoring attack from the starting five that motivated the team. The Raider team worked hard all season, and this paid off on February 19, when William Shepard hit a 30-foot jump shot as the buzzer sounded to give the Raiders a 52-50 victory and a berth in the tournament. Next year’s Raider team will be a larger and more experienced one in which some of the players will be three-year starters. Next year’s team will have three voids to fill as Seniors David Jackson, Kyle Burke and Victor Davis say farewell to their teammates. Even with these losses, Coach Gerry Wroblewski is predicting a Western Massachusetts Championship Season. Gary Perry and Gary Bestman pressure an opposing player. 1985 Boys’ J.V.

Basili leads the High School of Commerce with the STYLE befitting a high school which has just re- ceived the most favorable evaluation pos- sible - a ten year accreditation - from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Up-to-date curricula and mod- ern subjects are preparing High School of Commerce students to become business leaders in the community. Mr. Basili cred- its “‘our great teaching staff who are here to provide a superior education for every student”? with the success achieved by Commerce students. Among the innovations at Commerce this year are Midterm and Final Examina- tions which have been incorporated into the total curriculum for 1984-1985 in or- der to make our high school more com- petitive with the other area schools and to insure better preparation of our stu- dents for the future. This year, even more parents attended our Open House, which featured a tour of the beautiful and immaculate High School of Commerce building, confer- ences with our faculty members and a program in our Auditorium. At the Audi- torium Meeting, Mr. Basili, Assistant Prin- cipal DiSanti and Acting Assistant Princi- pal Phillips greeted the many parents and laid ground-work for establishing an ac- tive Commerce Parent-Teacher Organi- zation which, it is hoped, will become involved in on-going curriculum develop- ment. Refreshments, served in the im- maculate cafeteria, served to demon- strate Commerce style to the large num- ber of parents who attended. Throughout the year Miss DiSanti, As- sistant Principal, a graduate of the High School of Commerce, maintained and promoted academic excellence and the unique kind of style which characterizes our school. Mr. Lavelle Guidance Miss Hogan Guidance Mr. Phillips, Acting Assistant Principal, has accomplished his duties with dispatch and style. The Guidance Department has been successful in the new policy to tailor each student’s program of studies so that all courses are purposeful and related to the student’s career goals, and there are, consequently, fewer study hall place- ments. Mr. Serafino, Placement Counselor, has matched his previous record of achieving excellent placement in business and advanced educational institutions for our well-prepared graduates. In 1985, the High School of Com- merce has grown and improved, and we have accomplished all this with our char- acteristic enthusiasm and STYLE. Mr. Lavelle checks over some Guidance records.

Because of a recent illness and a long convalescence, Mr. Troy de- cided to retire from his position as Assis- tant Principal as of March 1, 1985. Mr. Troy was born in West Stock- bridge, Massachusetts and graduated from Williams High School in Stock- bridge. He then pursued his Bachelor of Science degree at Notre Dame College. From there he proceeded to Boston Uni- versity from which he acquired his Master of Education degree. Mr. Troy achieved his sixth year graduate level CAGS rating at Springfield College. In 1952, Mr. Troy entered the Spring- field School System. He was an English and History teacher for six years at Chestnut Junior High School. In Septem- ber of 1958 he came to the High School of Commerce, first as a basketball coach and for the last seventeen years as Vice- Principal. He accomplished a variety of duti es including being in charge of atten- dance, of security of the building and of the Commerce graduation ceremony. Mr. Troy also supervised the lunchroom for countless years. In his personal life, Mr. Troy is mar- ried. He and his wife, a former high school teacher, have three children, all of whom are graduates of the High School of Commerce. Mr. Troy’s future plans include travel- ling around the United States with his family in his trusted trailer. He also plans to do as much fishing as humanly possi- ble. The High School of Commerce salutes Mr. Troy for his outstanding service and personal interest in the school and all its students. We hope he realizes that we all loved him and that he will be greatly missed. ee Mr. John Troy, Assistant Principal, retires after 24 years of service to the High School of Commerce.

This course has become in demand among Senior students as most business careers now involve the comput- er. However, many people do not really know what word processing is.

Word process- ing offers a brand new career path for those who are interested in moving ahead in the business world. The High School of Commerce is the most up-to-date high school in the area in the computer fields, and has acquired two Wang Personal computers for use in the word processing course.

Mr. Tenczar, head of this department, states that a knowledge of Accounting provides the students with a marketable skill. He added that students who also complete Accounting II have an additional advan- tage because they can begin with more advanced Accounting courses in college because of their additional training. Accounting I is presented to students during their Junior year at Commerce. During this year, the students learn the complete Accounting cycle. These Ju- Sue Jobbins works on her accounting project. Mr. Frontera Bilingual niors complete a simulation or project, called Quadrasonics, which involves be- ing able to utilize a knowledge of the fundamentals of the Accounting cycle. Those who excell in Accounting I, elect Accounting II in their Senior year. After a review of the basic Accounting principles, Data Processing is introduced, as many sophisticated Accounting systems utilize this technique.

Mrs. Gonet Secretarial Mr. Gonzalez Bilingual School Store Provides Marketing Opportunities An overview of the marketing process is presented to the students at Commerce through the marketing courses. Courses are offered for students who wish to learn marketing fundamentals and for those who plan a career in marketing. Marketing I, which is offered as a Ju- nior elective, provides the students with the opportunity to explore and prepare for careers in marketing (primarily selling and retailing). It also provides students with on-the-job skills. One of the special opportunities given to the student is to be able to work in the Commerce School Store. Lisa LaRose and Carla Tash cope with records for the HSC School Store. Mrs. Grace Englsh Mr. Gormally Business Marketing II is a school program for seniors who expect to make a career of retailing, wholesaling, manufacturing, ad- vertising, and or other areas relating to the field of marketing. Each student is assigned managerial responsibilities of the School Store, which includes training in all facets of the operation. Mr. Varzeas, the Marketing teacher, feels that marketing should be required for all students at Commerce, as most business careers involve some type of marketing skills. Marketing is an absorbing subject for Beth Ward. Mr. Guerra Social Studies Mrs. Groomes Secretarial Mrs. Gumlaw Secretarial Typing And Steno Skills In Demand In Job Market Typing and Stenography are two of the most valuable and marketable skills to have when seeking employment. The de- mand for people with these skills is al- ways high. Typing skills are most useful for a vari- ety of personal and business uses such as preparing job application letters, pro- gramming data into the computer and completing on-the-job assignments. At the High School of Commerce, all stu- dents are required to take typing for two years. In the first year of typing, the stu- dents learn the fundamentals of typing and correct typing techniques as well as letter and report preparation. Typing II emphasizes speed and accuracy as well as the expansion of skills in letter and report preparation. Stenography is an optional area of sec- retarial study. In Steno I, the students are taught the theory and basic forms of Shorthand. Transcription, the ability to “translate”? stenographic symbols into written English, is emphasized. Steno II, which is a 4-credit course, stresses tran- scription skills combined with Word Pro- cessing. In order to succeed in Steno II, the student must have a solid grasp of English grammar, spelling and punctua- tion. According to Mrs. Barber, ‘‘In the tech- nological age in which we live, shorthand is alive and well! Employers always give preference to the prospective employee who has this training. Although dicta- phone transcribers and the use of taped dictation is now very much a part of the modern office, shorthand has many ad- vantages that machine dictation cannot offer - for example, taking down tele- Mrs. Haley English phone messages, minutes of a meeting and oral directions.” ‘For too long Shorthand has been con- sidered only as a tool for taking dictation of letters. The modern office has come to appreciate its other practical uses,” ob- served Mrs. Barber. “Equipped with both Shorthand and Word Processing, gradu- ates of the High School of Commerce are most competitive in the job market.” Y vA ed mee de Q i Seonnetie aM RRNN N OANART | | if i Reviewing shorthand symbols is fun for Dedria An- drews.

Within this title are three individual courses-filing, office procedures, and ma- chine calculation. Filing, or records management, is the process of classifying, arranging and stor- ing records so that they can be obtained quickly when needed. Students learn to file according to names, subjects, geo- graphic captions, and numerically, in ad- dition to alphabetically. Office Procedures is designed to ex- pose students to areas of work which they have not encountered in their other “R after Q” thinks John Connor as he files the cards.

It also reinforces skills such as proofreading and completing business forms. Machine Calculation teaches the stu- dents how to solve problems on ten key electronic display and printing calcu- laters. This involves learning how to han- dle office machines correctly. Students are also asked to complete certain types of tasks which include figuring discounts, net incomes, averages, percentages, mark-ups, and mark-downs. As a result of this type of class training, students are much more employable. Bernard Carter keeps track of his totals in Machine Calculation. Mr. Larregui Learning Center Mr. LaFlamme Mathematics Academics 135 Mrs. Malesta Home Economics English Program Offers Diversity And Individualization The High School of Commerce English Department is designed so that it can successfully meet the needs of all our students. There are classes in College Preparatory English, Business English, and Career English. The English Depart- ment, chaired by Mrs. Karr, contains fif- teen dedicated teachers whose goal is to provide a firm foundation in the basics of English at every level. Although basic writing skills are a pri- ority, there is also a strong emphasis placed on enrichment. Students are shown the many enjoyable aspects of the study of English and are instructed in sev- eral life skills which can be utilized by them during their high school years as well as in college or in the business world. At each grade level, specific skills are stressed. For example, in the study of writing, Freshmen are taught how to write a short biography, Juniors are shown how to write a research paper, and Seniors are instructed on the fine points of writing a literary paper on an author chosen from their summer reading list. Juniors receive special guidance and preparation for taking the SATS as a key part of the regular 11th grade curricu- lum. In addition, to the basic English courses which students take each year, the Eng- lish Department offers electives which in- volve the school newspaper and year- book. These courses give students an op- portunity to apply their English skills and learn new techniques while working to produce the award-winning school publi- cations. Students are encouraged to show their English excellence by participating in area competitions. Commerce students have placed favorably in many of these events. Most recently, Senior Lisa Stovall won an essay competition held during Na- tional Education Week. Attending area dramatic productions is yet another way Commerce students meaningfully and en- joyably expand their English Curriculum. The Commerce English Department offers a truly diversified and individual- ized program which prepares its students for higher education and or the business world while developing their proper use of the English language.

With the addition of Spanish instructor, Mr. O’Brien, the Spanish department ex- panded to accomodate the increased number of Hispanics already fluent in Spanish. Also, a conversational course in Spanish designed especially for business students was implemented. As an added enrichment for students of Spanish, several Hispanic members of the local business community and city government were invited to speak at Commerce. Participation in foreign language work, the city-wide recitation contest, the host- ing of two foreign language exchange teachers, and a trip to Spain were among the special activities in which the students in the Spanish department participated. The study of French is available to students at first, second and third year levels. Although enrollment in French classes is somewhat small, French instruc- tor, Miss Murray, has promoted activities which support and encourage the study of French as an essential and vital compo- nent of the Commerce Foreign Language curriculumn. The primary objective of the Foreign Language Department is to be recognized for their far-reaching values, as they strive to prepare young men and women to take their place in a very competitive society. Foreign language instructors Miss Fe- lix, Miss Czekanski, Mr. O’Brien, and Miss Murray work to provide students with necessary language skills to cope in our culturally diverse society.

Academics 137 HSC Computer Program |7 Is Far From Basic Data Processing has continued to grow and expand at the High School of Com- merce as we enjoy the largest and most sophisticated computer program of all t he city schools. The addition of a new Digital Equipment Corporation Mini- Computer to Room 132 greatly expands the computer program as this new unit will service 55 terminals located through- out the school. In addition, this system features a wide variety of software includ- ing Decword, Digicalc, Decmail, Dec- graph as well as the languages Basic, Co- bol, Fortran and Pascal. Data Processing has also been intro- duced into the recordkeeping systems of the school as teachers now prepare all grades on Computer Scan Sheets and the students are bringing home computerized report cards. An added benefit of this system includes the generation of statisti- cal information on grades and course loads which provides the administrators and guidance counselors with essential data which aids in counseling and schedul- ing students. Students gain an introduction to com- puters in Data Processing I which is of- fered to Juniors. This introductory course is designed to give students a general understanding of computer terminals at- tached to a host computer as well as the operation of a mini-computer. Students learn to program in Basic, the primary computer language of statements and commands. Knowledge of math funda- mentals are essential in Data Processing as students learn to use flow charts and apply logic. In Data Processing II, the first half of Mr. Olejarz Business Miss M. Pellegrino Secretarial Miss P. Pellegrino the course is devoted to programming and the second half concentrates on word processing, text editing, and the newest project - the electronic spread sheet. Stu- dents in Data Processing II expand their - skills by working with more complex lan- guages and by working on the Apple Computers with stored memory. In addi- tion, advanced students can work with discs, graphics, color and printed data to design individual programs. The Data Processing teachers, Mr. Masi, Mr. McWha and Mr. Black keep abreast of the latest equipment and de- velopments by reading the latest publica- tions, attending classes and touring local businesses. These activities enable them to continually update our program so that HSC students are prepared with the com- puter skills most in demand in the job market.

Science Prepares Students For Challenging Careers The High School of Commerce Sci- ence Department concentrates on three important science courses: Biology, Chemistry and Physics, all required for many careers, and for college admissions. Biology, the study of living things, is taught so as to provide a clear under- standing of the human body, and thus to be of value in several career options. Health maintenance is also stressed dur- ing this course, and helps direct students to hospital related careers. Chemistry is taught so as to enable students to meet requirements for nurs- ing schools and technical and scientific colleges. Many students hope for careers where Chemistry is a requirement, such as industrial and cosmetic engineering, food processing technicians, and health related analysts and laboratory workers. Students of Chemistry study scientific methods, accuracy of measurements, composition of matter, chemical elements and compounds and chemical symbols. A study is made of atomic energy and nu- clear chemistry. Equations, chemical solu- tions and modern chemical applications are all studied during this course. Many guest speakers bring current opportuni- ties to the attention of the students. A speaker from Holyoke Community col- lege was especially interesting as he pointed out the many opportunities for advanced training and employment which evolve from chemistry. 2 Physics, a course for which $8,000.00 worth of new equipment has just been purchased, deals with matter and energy and their interrelations. This course re- quires a solid background in mathematics and is essential for many technological careers. All Science courses offer complete in- struction in the modern and technologi- cally current areas which prepare Com- merce students for challenging careers. a Lisa Stovall draws a diagram of a carbon atom.

Two years of Math are required for graduaticn. To meet this requirement, Commerce offers students traditional choices such as Algebra I, Algebra II, Ge- ometry, and, for the first time in three years, Trigonometry - useful for many College Preparatory students. For those students enrolled in the Business Course, Business Math is offered. As an extra help to Commerce stu- dents planning to take the SAT, Miss Bla- keslee holds special study classes to pre- pare students for the Math section of this Dividends test battery. The Mathematics Department, chaired by Mr. LaFlamme for over 20 years, con- sists of several dedicated individuals. In addition to Miss Blakeslee, Mrs. Watson works to prepare Commerce students with a sound background for whatever math needs they may encounter in the future. ‘Although Mathematics courses don’t enthuse all students,’ Mr. Laflamme comments, “‘Hopefully, in the years to come, students will realize the important role mathematics will play in their fu- ture.’”’” The Commerce Math Department gives students the opportunity to prepare for their future. Miss Blakeslee’s class works on some practice exercises. Mr. Varzeas Business Business 140 Academics Mrs. Watson Mathematics Miss Wcislo Music Above, Delinda Baymon concentrates on her Math homework.

Of- fered by Mrs. Malesta and Mrs. Arnold, the Child Development Class teaches the students about the responsibilities in- volved in parenting, the stages in the growth and development of children and theories on child rearing. To understand how to bathe, dress and feed children, students spend time in both nursery schools and daycare centers observing what goes on. The students also partici- pate in an activity during which they ‘“‘adopt”’ eggs as their own children for a week and provide total care and protec- tion. If they neglect their “‘child,”’ it could result in injury or death. Students learn the importance of caring for children in this exercise. The Family Relations Class prepares aol wey a at e@esz A) individuals for a meaningful life in society. It helps students to understand the func- tion of the family and teaches responsibil- ity in personal and family growth. The skills needed in selecting, buying, building, renting or furnishing a home to meet the needs of their families are cov- ered in the Interior Design Class. Stu- dents also learn to personalize a home by applying the principles of art and the ele- ments of design. In the Home Management Class, stu- dents learn to prepare meals, and how to spend and manage the time, resources and responsibilities that are involved in running a home. Overall, the Home Eco- nomics Department effectively prepares students to live meaningful and responsi- ble lives in our society. “Bride” Grisel Gonzalez and ‘“‘Groom’”’ Monty Finnie are united by ‘‘Minister’’ Mr. Garnes at the Mock Wedding in Family Relations class.

This activity was an out- growth of the Spring 1984 Workshop which was designed to review and evalu- ate all Social Studies course offerings. An effort is being made to update course content and possibly substitute new and more pertinent courses, better able to meet students’ needs. Under consider- ation is the replacement of World History by a one semester course in Economics followed by one semester of Government for Freshmen. As part of the effort to relate the Social Studies Department offerings to the out- side world, a Senior Assembly was pre- Social Studies Proposes Curriculum Changes sented which featured as speakers State Representative Iris Holland of Longmea- dow and Representative Paul Caron. Re- presentative Holland told about her work in the Massachusetts State Legislature and her role as a member from Massachu- setts of the Electoral College. Represen- ’ tative Caron also discussed his work as a member of the governing body for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Throughout the year, many special projects and events were scheduled. Dur- ing the Mock Elections, Commerce stu- dents selected the Mondale-Ferraro tick- et, supported Senator John Kerry and gave an overwhelming vote of confidence to Congressman Edward Boland, thereby demonstrating their awareness of current issues.

This year the Chorus groups made many more performances than ever. Each group made appearances at the Eastfield Mall, and for the first time, at the Holyoke Mall. The Concert Choir was the first of the three choirs to go out and start perfor- mances during the Christmas season, which lasted from the first week to the third week of December. This group went to the Shriners Hospital, and took special caroling tours to several area restaurants. One highlight of the Concert Choir’s car- oling was being the entertainment at Mil- ton Bradley’s “‘Giving Tree” celebration for the underprivileged children who might not otherwise receive Christmas gifts. Concert Choir also made a singing debut at Digital.

The Gospel Choir also had singing presentations at the Marriott Hotel and at the Winchester Square Library. The Gospel Choir is different from the other three groups in several ways. The Gospel Choir meets after school and stu- dents receive no academic credits for their participation. Several churches around the area were enchanted by per- formances given by the Gospel Choir. Miss Wcislo has many plans for her singing groups including entering the Concert Choir into competition. Other plans include making all of the groups better known citywide, having each group perform more and entering all the groups in some form of competition so that students can gain helpful experience. Based on this year’s successes, and Miss Wcislo’s hard work and dedication, these goals are sure to be achieved. At left, reading music is easy for Moya Crenshaw.

Mr. Maroney Custodial Mr. Carriveau Custodial Academics 143 Mr. McCoubrey Custodial Art Skills Help Buyers Become Better Consumers Mrs. Schumann, Art teacher at the High School of Commerce, directs three levels of Art classes — Art I, Art II, and Art Ill. Art I and II are open to Freshmen and Juniors and Art III is reserved for Seniors. Traditional art is the basis of the Com- merce program according to Mrs. Schu- mann. “Traditional art gives a person the building blocks to make their own style,” she commented. After taking Art, stu- dents usually see everyday things in a different perspective. They notice the de- sign and composition of the object ob- served. In the Art classes, students learn the different techniques of drawing such as showing objects in proper perspective, doing portraits and enlarging without dis- tortion. Other units taught in Art include calligraphy, color and shades, pottery, handwriting and Batik - a process which Mr. Phelon Custodial 144 Academics Mrs. Schumann puts the finishing touches on her painting. uses bees’ wax and dyes. Students from the Art classes are displaying calligraphy projects in May at both Baystate West and the Eastfield Mall. In addition to learning art skills and techniques, students learn about Art His- tory and the Renaissance artist. A major goal of the art program is to have stu- dents learn and appreciate art and to understand the artists and their works. Art creativity is a function controlled by the right side of the brain. Art skills help in problem solving and building con- fidence. Everyone is an artist just by be- ing a consumer as many products are bought because they appeal to the buy- er’s eye. Training in Art helps the student become a better consumer as he she learns to examine the product carefully before purchasing in order to determine if the quality of the product is as good as the packaging and presentation.

Mrs. O’Dell, Chairperson of Physical Education, pointed out that due to this variety, everyone will get to play a sport they enjoy. Despite the variety of the curriculum it can not hope to satisfy ev- eryone all of the time but it does give students a chance to learn new skills. An important part of the Freshmen Physical Education Curriculum is the Youth Fitness Test during which they are tested on arm hang (girls), chin-up(boys), 50 yard dash, shuttle run, 600 run-walk, broad jump and sit-up. The Junior pro- gram includes softball, badminton, C.P.R., racquetball, prisonball, and a few others. The Senior activities consist of tennis, golf, handball, frisbee, contempo- rary dance, volleyball and basketball. For the unit on contemporary dance, Stephen Boyd (senior instructor) and Andy Judd from the Frank Hatchett School of Dance gave their time to teach the Seniors a few steps in Jazz Dancing. As chairperson of the Department of Physical Education, Mrs. O’Dell is re- sponsible for preparing the budget, set- ting up the curriculum, and coordinating the work of the department. The informal structure of the Physical Education classes has helped her and the other teachers in the department. She commented, ‘‘Being informal allows the teacher to know and understand his or her students and that makes the job of teaching much easier.” We commend Mrs. O’Dell, Mrs. Wil- liams, and Mr. Ryan for their efforts to provide students with a wide range of activities to develop and expand the physical abilities of all students at the High School of Commerce.
