In the sophomore year classes are held two periods a day and in the iunior and senior year four periods. This course includes all phases of beauty culture such as manicuring, scalp treatment, shampooing, sculpture curling, eyebrow arching, marcel waving, frozen waving, facial treatments, hair shaping, permanent waving, hair coloring and hair styling. The students are taught to give all of these services on one another and on Fri- day which is set aside as Shop Day , they render these same services to the faculty and student body. After the stu- dents have received TOOO hours of beauty culture, they are qualified to take the New York State Hairdressing Exami- nation, which includes a theoretical as well as the practical examination. Upon passing this examination, the student re- ceives a state license which entitles her to practice hairdressing. Before graduation, all of the senior students are placed in beauty shops as all-round beauticians.

In the Sophomore year, students are instructed in the care and use of various kinds of equipment including electrical appliances, in the prepara- tion and service of simple foods such as vegetables, quick breads, simple sauces, and egg cookery. The Junior year offers opportuni- ty in the use of greater variety of foods. Training consists of preparing large quantity recipes of soups, meats, vegetables, pastries, etc., sold in the school cafeteria. Menu planning is also a part of the program. The Seniors perfect their skills of the trade, working directly with the employees of the school cafeteria af- fording opportunity in quantity cook- ing. Catering is an interesting phase of the Senior year, giving experience to those who are particularly adapted. Pies, cakes, breads, party sandwich orders, and decorated cakes are a spe- cialty. Supervision of classroom shop. checking of foods and equipment are proiects in the training of Food Trades' pupils. I -W f v ,- CW W - V f , - , OHWHS PRESIDENT , ..... . . ,. .,.., ..

JAY VEE SQUAD Saunders and Commerce High Schools have combined their efforts to produce a better football team. Twenty boys from Commerce reported for practice. The main idea was to give the few boys in Commerce a chance to play the game of football. The combined team did produce a win over Bellows High School. This is a tribute to the will to play football and the spirit of the boys. TAA Qi Left to Right Row l: L. DePalma, J. Scanlon, J. Jones, A. Maruschak, W. Maschak, A. Candela, R. Vaccarini, M.

W The outlook for the 1954 Commerce Golf team looks very promising. We still have with us the following members of the 1953 golf team: Harry Glus, Tony York, Richie Gerloff, and Ronnie Brannigan. We were sorry to lose Don Trues- dale, who moved to the middle-west, but we were fortunate to recruit another member with equal ability, Ray Juback. With this fine nucleus, we hope to win the city championship. The sponsor of this golf team is Mr. William Gawchik. i Left to Right Row l: R. Skrobola, E. Stefanik, R. Brannigan, V. Autero, J.

The first post is at the Palisade entrance, second at the center stairs, and the third in the Main lobby. The boys are not responsible for the discipline of our students, they are to simply greet guests and ask to their destination and, it necessary, escort them there. We have been told that since the inauguration of this system H LL GUARDS there have been far fewer persons aimlessly wandering in the halls. CHOIR A. -. A M.. , - Left to Right Row l: P.

Members of the choir have the opportunity of becoming acquainted with more advanced music than is possible in a general music class. The choir is expected to sing at special assemblies, and receives invitations to sing at various com- munity functions, thus enlarging the experience of the members. Song, both for serious study and for fun, create variety and interest. We are handicapped this year without an accompanist, but hope to remedy this in the future. At present there are thirty-two members. 4 7 Q it J? 1 TH MATH Left to Right Row l: J. Haroutunian, A. Carney, D. Longazel, J. Zottoli, A. Grotto, J. Supka. The Ath Math Club was organized several years ago, for the purpose of combining a service club of Mathemtatics and Athletics, and was under the active leadership of Joe Tarricone. The club was a great help to Coach Jefferson in keeping track of statistics concerning individual players improvement and final results. The club keeps charts of individual foul shots and set shots, etc. At the end of the season each player's average is computed, as well as the average of the team as a whole. This activity covers both J. V. and Varsity. SERVICE f J ,f ' ml! I l-'33 wi ' Left to Right Row 1: R. Lemme, B, Boud, C. Maclean, E. Repasky, G. Joice, C. Manfredi, I. Hermanspan, R. Decker, J.
