CLASS OF 1915. OMMERCE has been recognized by its success in sending out able business men and women. Today it bids fair to win new laurels through its Junior Class, who by their steady determination and hard working character are bound to accomplish results which will fill Com- merce with joy and pride, since our class will exhibit the bestexample of its never-ceasing work. The largest class in school, hampered by poor equipments and the crowded condition, we are, nevertheless, faithfully working ever with the vision of ourselves heading the army in life's world of Success. Once having a start in the business arena, we will not stop till we have attained the highest possible point. Nor are our hopes visionary, rather they are firmly founded. Even now, business men come to Com- merce when they want good, reliable and capable persons for book- keeper, salesman, saleswoman, typist, stenographer, bank clerk, or ad- vertiserg much greater will be the demand when our expert class is ready to fill these positions. Earnest though our efforts may be to obtain the goal we seek, we do not entirely neglect the more pleasant side of life. The Juniors believe in working hard, while at work and playing hard while at play, but we by no means give too much time to work, no longer are we mere lookers-on, but our class members take a very prominent part in all the doings of the school. The Juniors are represented in debating, orchestra, and basketball work. In the inter-class games they have many times carried the honors, and have done this with becoming modesty. Our girls, too, exhibit unusual skill in basketball, and it is not seldom that the Juniors suprise the Seniors. In March, 1914, we Juniors had our candy sale, all generously con- tributed, determined to bring in the most money of any class, and this we did. To show that our efforts had been appreciated, a party was given for our benefit. Hour by hour, day by day, week by week, time passes, and Com- merce Juniors are being washed along with time's tide. It would be useless to cry for help in the loud roar of the business billows, so we summon all our courage and, striving hard, keep above the cruel waves of competition. Strengthened by our work at Commerce, gaining occa- sional experience in the business world, we enter port for new ventures. Still we are not content, for there always rises a higher point, and this, we mean to reach, when we come into our own as Commerce Seniors. MARGARET BREEN, '15, 'P

II. B. MYRTLE ANDERSON. With a flash of her dark brown eyes, a smile lighting up her face and a nod of her dainty brown head, she passes no one without a cheery word. She is commonly called Chiplet, is an ardent supporter of basketball and an anti- suffragette. E. T. FLORENCE BECKER. This philosophical girl admits having some work that is disagreeable, but her idea is, that the best way to handle this is to think of better times. The material and money she wastes is doubly repaid by her manner of spending time, for which she is in turn credited by good grades. E. A. MYRTLE BEHREND. Kind and loving, with friendly dispo- sition and keen intellect, she never shirks a duty nor wastes any time. She is stu- dious and ambitious, and is admired by all her classmates. That she pursues her studies with a determination to Win, is proved by her excellent recitations. E. W. JAKE BENDAU. This young fellow, about sweet six- teen, is ambitious, he looks on the bright side of things. Mr. Healdcalls him Jakey, which usually gets a twit- ter from the girls. No matter if he is named Jakey, he's an optimist, so We should worry.
