lass iipisturp, 19243 ISTORY is said to be the recording of impor- tant events and the biographies of great people. lf this is so, then I think the class of 1924A deserve the right of having their history recorded. ln January 1920 a group of about two hundred young people entered the High School of Commerce. As the main building was already overcrowded with 1 aspiring young stenographers and bookkeepers. we Street branch, which was then a part of Commerce. Since the branch was attended only by freshmen, , F we did not feel so timid as we would if we had been among the upper classmen. As time went on, we began to turn our attention towards the election of our class officers. The two freshmen classes combined in selecting the follow- ing officers: President, Raymond Cardinal, Vice President, Irene Martelg Secretary, Anna Statzg Treasurer, Francis Cardinal. After the Christmas holidays we came back eagerly, with a New Year 's resolution' to work harder. The next few months showed that many were keeping this resolution. As May approached, we began to look forward to Class Games, which were to be held at Tech Field. It was a gala day and among the various colors was the freshmen 7s purple and white. Commerce won the meet that year. This same year Commerce also won in outdoor track, indoor track, baseball, and basketball. Although we did not participate in any of the sports, we helped our school by cheering, which we did very well. Many left school, but those who remained studied diligently, as our freshman year was coming to a close in January. At the beginning of February 1921 we became Sophomores. We were elated not only by the fact that we were Sophomores, but also by the fact that we were going to the t'School on the Hill. What a great mass of people there seemed to be that first day we CHITIQ. All seemed to know where they were going except us, hut, as we were a progressive class, we did not take long to become accustomed to the building. A new plan of having a free period every Friday morning was introduced by the school. This plan was a great help to many of us for polishing our recitations before class. The Blackfriars presented a play entitled Monsieur Bea.ucaire in Tuckerman Hall on March thirty-first. So well did the characters portray their parts, that it took some time before their classmates could distinguish them. The time grew near for our second Class Games. VVe again donned our class colors and decorated our rooms. This year Commerce won in baseball and indoor track. and came second in cross-country. The girls won the 1921 pennant for hockey. ln this year it is interesting to note that the girls were beginning to bob 21 who were entering, were to go to the Salisbury
