GGODBYE, COMMERCE Goodbye, Commerce, I am leaving. I am leaving a school I have grown to love and cherish. I am going into the world. I am going to put aside my childish acts and take up the troubles of the world. Goodbye, Commerce, I am leaving. I am leaving a school which was large, yet it was not too large for someone like me. I am leaving teachers I have grown to love and respect. I am leaving friends whose friendship I believe I'll cherish the rest of my life. Goodbye to the ten per cent days, days which were just plain torture. Goodbye to the hours I spent in Chemistry trying to figure why oxygen unites with hydrogen to form water. Goodbye to the long hours I spent in Geometry trying to prove that triangles are congruent. Then I must bid goodbye to the days I neglected to do my homework. Goodbye to the many days I could not borrow homework. Goodbye to the hours I spent in typing. How I tried to type without looking! I-Iowever, I now confess, my eyes did wander sometimes. Goodbye to the happy faces at three o'clock. Quite a contrast from the solemn faces of 8:40. Goodbye to our midterm days. Gee, were they hard days! Then I must bid farewell to the many hours that I sweated in the Regents room. Thank goodness I'll never have to take another Regents exam. Goodbye to the happy hours that I spent in the lunchroom. How I'll miss that soothing dinner music. The kind of music which invites indigestion. Goodbye to the hours I spent waiting for the last bell to ring at three. Goodbye to the hours I spent in Dr. Masters' classes. Confound it, I'll never forget those classes. Goodbye to the Glee Club and the Choir, future angels in glory. Goodbye to our other clubs and teams. Goodbye to our wonderful staff of teachers. And goodbye to the grandest bunch of kids in the world. Yes, Goodbye, Commerce, I am leaving. I am going to put aside my childish acts and take up the troubles of the world. Goodbye, Commerce. And goodbye to my care-free days of youth. Cordelia Parker 12
