MR. LEONARD B. MOULTON DEDICATIUN The passing years which have changed the High School of Commerce from a new and experimental institution to one which already counts with pride the number of its successful graduates, and celebrates with enthusiasm its swiftly recurring anniversaries, have taken their heavy toll upon that small group of devoted men who saw the young school grow and develop, and whose daily labors gave life and vitality to all her endeavors. The end of the present school year marks the retirement of one of our veteran teachers. In 1908 he entered the Boston school service, and in 1919 was promoted to the position of Head of Department in English. In this office he has upheld the highest ideals of an honorable pro- fession. His unselfishness, and thoughtfulness for the welfare of others, his conscientious devotion to the details of his daily tasks are traits characteristic of the man and of his work. We shall miss the kindly humor which has lightened the daily tasks of his colleagues and of the generations of pupils who knew him. In our school all of us are his friends, and we bid Godspeed to one who has done his duty. In a spirit of respect and of affection we wish him many years to come and we dedicate to Mr. Leonard B. Moulton this Year Book of the Class of 1939. W M QM QM 'Y' ea, ., .-A , W 5 mv' W' QW ,H gg !?? HIGH SCHOOL OF COMMERCE FACULTY JAMES E. DOWNEY, Head lllastef' Masters, Heads of Departments john V.

Now the tasks of Life confront us- Each is urged to do his duty well, Let us pay a parting tribute, Fairest school of all, farewell. ' In those far-off, vague tomorrows, Loving sons, we'll guard your honored name, XVhether fortune smiles or sends us sorrow, Naught can dim thy never-ending fame.

Old fommerce has. through its Headmaster and faculty, has striven to give us an education for service. It is our duty as members of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, to go out and strive to do our best. As members of the High School of Commerce Alumni Association, we shall still maintain social, educa- tional, and business relations with our Alma Mater. l.et us firmly resolve that we shall stand by fommerce in all ways and always, do everything possible to glorify her name, and make it universally known and respected. As we travel to our inevitable end, destiny will guide us to success or failure. The rest of life is beset with pitfalls and rocky roads, to travel them, we must have an enduring spirit. Some may fall or tarry by the wayside, but those will secure success who keep fighting on to reach their goal. l.et us set a standard to live up to that we may gain the heights of success and happiness. Sacrifice in youth will bring in- finite satisfaction in after years. mln some distant future day As we're nearing the sunset Colors flying, Blue and Cray XYill guide us safe to the end XXX- shall do honor in our hearts to our colors, Blue and Gray flying proudly above us.

Mr. Kilroy has a stick, And he can use it pretty quick, If you're late without an excuse, Your shiny pants will take the abuse, And as you squirm, and jump out of line, You'll get paddled a second time. Every time he sees a skirt, Earl Hudgins really likes to flirt, One time a pretty blonde walked by, And little Hudgins winked his eye, The blonde swung hard, her aim was true, And now Earl's eye is black and blue. In his room, and in the hall, He's always there when e'er you call Mr. Moulton can be heard and seen Loudly singin, The wearing o' the Green. Up in Room 302, In red and yellow, green and blue, There the students, artists all, Paint pretty pictures on the wall.
