and Commercial Club The llhoenicians, an ancient maritime people noted as sailors and traders. per- formed a permanent world service by spreading the alphabet throughout the Medi- terranean world. llecause of this invaluable service. the Phoenicians were known as missionaries of lfastern civilizationfi carrying culture and arts of the East to the rest of the then known world. We are. therefore, indebted to them not only for the alphabet, but for a system of trade and commerce. Within our own walls. students are trained to take their place in the commer- cial and economic world of today. These students could easily convince you of their fitness to take part in our economic system by using their salesmanship tactics, knowledge of bookkeeping and business arithmetic, and final submission of a type- written report on their elliciency and skill. This year, the Commercial Club was particularly active, sponsoring a highly successful mixer, and many other activities. To guide them successfully through a year of full activity, they wisely chose the following ollicers: President ...... .. Rodney Sellen Vice-President . . . . . . .Purdy Ryan Secretary ...... .... ........ E l len Forbes Treasurer . . . ............... Garth Andrews Advisors . . ..... Miss Dlhy and Miss Viliano Fourth Row: Newman. Carlson, Andrews, MacNeill, Harris, Selen, Dannan, Langdon, Brong, Rice. Third Raw: Miss Dlhy, Miss Viliano, Marvin, Corl, Little, Springer.

Qfir hum watt D tands for Dedication 'vi 'fv- No yearbook could attempt to he complete without the dedication of the class' hopes and ainhi- tions to something or someone honored and loved hy each student. This year we are no exception. and thus. we dedicate the 19-l-6 edition of the Odyssey to the old section of our school which burned to the ground in 1915. Teachers and pupils alike were put to hardship hy the fire. School had to he in session in vari- ous huildings about town. Countless arrangements were made and changed-all leading to confusion at first and then to smooth running order-a large portion of which may be credited to the teachers of these grades. The majority of the senior students attended kindergarten and the first eight grades in the older division of our school, and, as a summary of our feelings, we feel that it should appropriately be pre- served in memory. Therefore, to this section of Homer Academy and to the teachers who held daily class in its rooms. we. the Odyssey staff and the class of 5416, dedicate our yearbook to this phase of our elemen- tary schooling never to be forgotten. 14
