While they’re waiting for the bell to ring, they‘re searching for fifty cents, They’re scouting out the easiest way to get to the school store to buy candy and whatnots without being late for their next class. Candy may be popular, but it’s not the only item the school store has to offer. Remember how you forgot to buy anew pen last night for English or a pencil for math? Well, don’t worry. Just stop by the school store in the morning and buy your pens, pencils and even 16 | Activities Michelle Petell and Jean No are sitting pretty surrounded by time. notebooks. The school store is also instrumental in boosting school spirit. It sells red and white pom-poms that come in handy for Red Day, rallies and games. They also have keychains and stuffed Raider animals. Students can even show their school spirit by wearing clothes bought in the school spirit items. WRinging up a sale, Tammy Clarke counts her change a second store. They have classy looking Com- merce sweatshirts, shorts, tee-shirts, football shirts and even Commerce socks. How’s that for variety? Mr. Varzeas is the school store advi- sor, and his marketing classes help keep the books. There are also many students who volunteer to work in the store during their study periods. Cindy Guevin is the manager and there are three assistant managers: Tammy Clarke, Melissa Federico, and Barbara Czekusniak. The money made in the, store goes towards the buying of new merchandise, but any profits made go to the G.O. account which pays for senior activities.

great! oom 218 ... what goes on be- hind that door? Well, besides being the room for Miss McCarthy’s English classes, it’s also the control center for Commerce's yearbook. Everyone knows what's in a year- book, but do you realize how much work goes into that big red book filled with pictures? This year, our staff, co-edited by Ali- cia Cayode and Kate Belniak, was a mixture of 12 juniors and seniors. Aided greatly by master photographer Corey Nedeau, the staff searched out every nook and cranny of Commerce’s hal- lowed halls for things of interest. We even resorted to sneaking up on stu- dents at juice bars, malls and theatres que so that the complete life of the Com- merce student could be depicted. Don’t be mistaken, a yearbook is a lot more than just placing pictures one after another. It’s Miss Murphy and her staff contacting potential advertisers. It's knowing what’s happening and where it’s happening.

To make the year- book the best it can be, we felt the need to raise money. The result is a larger book with several subtle changes in it. Our cover is also unique: the design was conceptualized by our staff. Some people may ask why a maga- zine or book company doesn’t create the yearbook instead of students. It is understandable, however, that stu- dents can relate more to school activi- ties, they learn in the process and de- rive great satisfaction from producing a “time capsule” of their stay. Please enjoy. Alhe efforts of Miss Murphy and her advertising staff of Krista Pepper and Mia Dixon helped make this year’s year- book a success.
