Andrews, Parents, 'l'eachers and lfriends:-- 1 HF High School of Commerce graduating class has assigned to me the great honor of l welcoming you in its name. Although we have been looking forward to this day it is with a feeling of joy touched with sorrow that we invite you to our last exercise as a class of the High School of Commerce. ln behalf of our class l thank our Principal, lVIr. Andrews and his efficient corps of educators for their great and untiring efforts in assisting us to reach the final goal of our High School education. As none but our parents know what sacrifices they made in our behalf, words to them are in- adequate. But let us remember above all that it is our beloved parents who are making it possible for us to take our places in the world so that we may bring credit to the teachings of our principal Iffflllk P11111 Sff'T'f H and faculty. Let us then by our deeds, show that we do appreciate what our parents have done for us. Classmates, today we feel deep down in our hearts, a pang of regret and sorrow that we must separateg each to follow a different path of life. But in leaving this dear school, we are full of hope and determination to bring honor and glory to Commerce. Long shall we remember the happy days we spent here. These memories will always be full of joy and gratitude. Then, kind friends, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-five A extends to you a sincere welcome to these Class Day exercises. U61 Clllass bong Words by MARION DONAHUE We greet Thee, long awaited day With joy as well as sorrow, Fond memories of days gone by, Oh, help us meet to-morrow! Four years have quickly passed away ' Four years so full of gladness And now the parting time has come Our hearts are filled with sadness. Still we shall say with loving pride Although our hearts are grieving Oh, praise the school we loved so well And praise it as We're leaving. Our gratitude shall never die Allegiance ne'er dissever Our hearts so loyal will remain -Staunch and true forever. E171 Cllllass ibistnrp, 19259 By GLORIA REGAGLI EARLY all of us have at one time or other studied some of the various branches of history, and valued a certain phase the most. VVe members of the 1025-A class, value highly our class history. ln our Freshman year we were not heard of to a great extent, as is the general rule for all Freshmen, and then as a class we were separated. Some of us were fortunate enough to start our high school career at the school on the hill, but our less fortunate classmates were forced to go either to Classical or to North High School for their first year. But, nevertheless, 1 am sure we all had the usual first year catastrophies of trying to find elevators and being pursued like escaped convicts on our first class day. VVhen promotion came in February we were proud to have the distinction of being Sophomores. VVe were told to meet in the Assembly Hall of the main building at 8.15. Up hill we all trudged, looking this way and that for someone to ask about the location of Assembly Hall. lf we asked a -lunior, the answer would usually be what is termed today a wise crack, as, Follow your nose even if there is a bend in it. Or, a Senior would reply in a dignified manner, Just promenade down the corridor until you perceive our esculator stairway and mount to the fifth floor and then turn to your left. Such answers as these were our problems. At last after much travelling we perceived our companions on the first floor in the Assembly Hall, which later proved to be the scene of many enjoyable Tuesday morning programs. Excited, thrilled, and just a little nervous were we when lllr. Andrews was assigning us to our home-rooms, each one hoping to find his friends there. l think that our first day as Sophomores proved almost as trying as our whole Freshman year. Iiveryone was so kind to us in offering to show us short-cuts and we were so willing to take advice. VVell, we all have to learn of the superiority of our elders. At last our first day as Sophomores was over and after that things went a little more smoothly. During the year our class started the second of its four chapters of memorable history. Not many of us were very chummy because we were all practically strangers. but as the days wore on we became better acquainted with teachers and pupils. Each day tightened the bond of school-spirit, love, loyalty and friendship, until in our Senior year all four virtues bound us together, under one ruling power. Spring was approaching and with it came the glorious prospects of our first real class day. For, in our Freshman year we had not dared come forth arrayed so glori- ously in our magnificent colors. But now, orange and white bedecked every Sophomore U81 4 High School of Commerce room and every loyal Sophomore. We all showed the kindling of the well-known Commerce spirit, by being present at the class games and Oh, how glad we were we had not missed them. We feel sure that our cheering and our athletes kept Commerce from falling below second place. John Kennedy, Harold Johnson, Harry Wiseman, and Frank Stevens were among the 25-A heroes. These boys and girls as well as many others helped to make that year a banner year for Commerce. For, it was in our Sophomore year that the school on the hill, won the Telegram-Gazette cup, offered almost a decade ago for the school attaining the standard set by the donors, for best all-around athletics in Worcester High Schools. The cup was given to Commerce, permanently, after nine years of hard struggle. I am sure that we all remember the day when our wonderful school paper The Mercury was published on blue and gold paper, in honor of the occasion with the pictures of the various athletic teams in which were many of our 1925-A boys and girls. We were proud to know that through their efforts and the wonderful co- operation of Miss Buxton, and Miss Hawley, our teachers of Journalism, the paper was a country-wide success. Spring was over and our, summer vacation drew near. We left in June hoping that we would all be again united in September. When we returned in the fall we suddenly realized what our school and school- friends meant to us. After many greetings of Heigho and Gee, but it's good to see you again, we started our daily routine of lessons. ' At one of our Tuesday morning Assemblies, Mr. Andrews informed us that we were to have the honor of choosing class officers. The result was: President, John Kennedy, Vice-President, Arline Moore, Secretary, Helen Daley, and Treasurer, Albert Carlson. That fall when Coach Ward and Coach lVIooney. sent out their call for athletes 1 am sure that the 25-A class may boast of the recruits that answered their summons. The football season was on and proved most interesting to us Sophomores because so many of our boys were on the team. The boys tied for first place with Classical in the inter-high series. The hockey games of the girls' also came out a tie for first place with South. Our Sophomore term ended and we found one January morning that we were Juniors. Just imagine, we were almost grown-up! It was during our Junior year that our class established itself. The third chapter of our history began. A large nu.mber of our boys and girls began to join many of the wonderful clubs that Commerce has formed. The Britomart, a girls' society .proved very popular because of the wonderful feeling of friendship that it creates. The Assemblywas most attractive to the boys because of Mr. Boyden's wonderful personality. Then there are the -Revellers and the Blackfriars which were both very great clubs. - The Blackfriar Society gave their annual play which this year was entitled, The Thirteenth Chair. The play was without doubt a great success and much credit is due to the wonderful coaching of Mr. lkloriarity, faculty advisor of this dramatic society since 1921. Basketball games were the fad at this time of year and both the girls' and boys' games were attended with great enthusiasm. Members of the 1925A class that were on the boys' team were lwilton Orcutt, Sidney Savatsky, John Kennedy, and Frank U91 High School of Commerfe Stevens. Those on the girls' team were Josephine Keblinsky and Mildred Smith. Both quintets won second place in the inter-high series. Every year it is customary for the Junior class to hold a picnic at some place of recreation. So, accordingly on June 20, Lake Chauncy was the scene of much merriment. Swimming, dancing, bowling, and pool were enjoyed by all. Every village on the way knew something unusually important was astir when the electric cars came speeding by filled to their capacity with charming boys and girls from Commerce. Much gratitude was felt for the kindness of Miss Laura E. Carrigan, our high school chaperon, and of Mr. Curtis and Miss Morrissette and her orchestra for their part in helping the students enjoy themselves. Our third class day was here, and we certainly came forth with a bang. This day was to be a great one for the 1925-A class, for Harry Wiseman, our classmate, that day broke the record for the 220 yard dash set by Jesse Hermon, former Classical High athlete. No wonder the Juniors were proud. Parting time came once more and though we left eagerly we returned in September even more eagerly. Our class elections were held again and the result was the same as in our Sophomore year. Our stars in the football season were Spooks Shea, John Kennedy, Frank Stevens, Earle Patnod, and jack Hartnett. The team won second place. 1 The Britomart-Assembly annual Halloween dance was given Oct. 30, in the school gymnasium. Many boys and girls of the junior class attended and had a delightful time. After our Christmas vacation the school board passed a law that the high schools of the city were no longer to have the one-week-in-every-eight as a vacation but would be dismissed earlier in June. Most of us were satisfied. Our fourth chapter of history started with great excitement and enthusiasm, for at last our goal at Commerce was reached. We, after three years of struggle and strife, were privileged to call ourselves Seniors. Oh, what a grand and glorious feeling! Our first social function as Seniors was the Blackfriars annual play, Disraeli, given exceedingly well by Commerce pupils. The 1925-A members of the cast were Duke of Glastonbury, Frank Stevens, Duchess of Glastonbury, Bertha Lavertyg Charles, Viscount Deeford, Leslie Partridge, Sir Michael Probert, John Kennedy, F looks, a Rural Postman, Thomas Seymour. During our Senior year a Principal's Cabinet was formed, consisting of President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer of the three upper classes. John Kennedy, Arline Moore, Helen Daley and Albert Carlson were the representatives for the 1925-A class. For recreation from social functions the 254A class decided to put aside a day known as Kid Day. In we came the next day arrayed in gingham dresses, with dolls, hair-ribbons and lolly-pops. All through the day the fun proceeded. Even the teachers were a little lenient towards us. But, I think that most of us feel a sense of relief that we were really Seniors in disguise. The first Mock Trial and Vaudeville show ever held at Commerce was presented by members of the Assembly. Commerce hall was filled to its capacity that evening E201 High School of Commerce and the efforts of the pupils were Well rewarded by its undoubted success. Much credit was due to the coaching of Miss Gordon. Class Games were again held at the New England Fair Grounds. Commerce spirit was evident everywhere, and with the co-operation of the athletes Commerce placed second. Another picnic was held, only this time it was called the Senior Picnic. Lake Chauncy again was graced by the presence of our Seniors and a wonderful time was enjoyed by everyone. A new Mercury staff was elected with every position Hlled by our classmates, who, brought about a very successful year. Summer vacation came and went and we were again together in September for our last term at Commerce. We had no sooner returned than election time came once more. Frank Stevens was chosen President, Ruth Stickney, Vice-President, Helen Daley, Secretary, Albert Carlson, Treasurer. That year our boys won great fame for Commerce. In the inter-high cross country run we broke North's fourteen year monoply of the championship by winning four victories in four days. This is the first time in the history of the school that Commerce has ever held this honor. Much credit is due to Frank Sanella, former Commerce boy, who coached the boys on to victory. The Senior Prom, held on Nov. 21, was a gala affair and almost everyone attended. The success of the evening was due to the co-operation of the pupils and the chaperonage of Miss Laura E. Carrigan and Mr. and Mrs. Calvin H. Andrews. Class Day elections were held and the result was: Class Prophet, Bertha Lavertyg Class Orator, Joseph Dumas, Class Musician, Albert Shellang Class Pianist, Mildred Johnson, Class Soloist, Leslie Partridge, and Class Historian, Gloria Ragagli. And so now we prepare to leave the place Where we have learned our lessons of love, loyalty, school spirit and friendship, and to turn our faces toward our life's work. I extend to all the teachers and our ever-helping principal, Mr. Andrews, gratitude for aiding the class of 1925 to fit themselves for life's great work. The records of the past have been a pleasant story to write. The glorious past may be a prophecy of the success of our class in the future. And so, the pen of time writes a Finis to the four chapters of our history. As we may never all be together again, we pledge this day loyalty to High School of Commerce and to the class of 1925-A. E211 lass Qbratiun, 192541 THE GREAT AMERICAN Joseph Dumas ERHAPS no name, will ever stand out so impressively l in the history of organized labor as that of Samuel Gompers. It is with a deep sense of my own limited powers, that I endeavor to eulogize his most laudable achievements. His life was an eventful one, composed of one good deed after another. All that is just, all that is virtuous, all that is sublime, he strove, for righteousness sake, to accomplish. There is nothing in Gompers' birth, education, or cir- cumstances, as far as these are known, calculated to arrest the attention or impress the imagination. His coming in this country, was as that of many, un- heralded and unproclaimed, whose calling is to shape the f l destinies of men. He came to America a poor, little immigrant boy, but with the foresight and keen perception of one destined to do so, he won his way into the heart of labor and public sentiment. When organized labor made its first advent into the affairs of industry, it found conditions in a most deplorable state. VVomen and children, deprived of the sunshine and happiness of life were toiling long dreary days in the mills and factories. Man, whose labor was regarded as a commodity, was struggling for very existence. The oppressive heel of autocracy crushed the holiness of homes and left misery and suffering in its wake. Picture to yourself a large city, the metropolis of today. ln its great canyons, we see the young and innocent, whirled along in the merciless throng. We see, in its slums, the growing generation bred in dark, squalid tenements, where young minds are warped and bent, innocents pitifully stunted, and where they are exposed to crime and avaricious vice. Here was the life's blood of America, the flower of American Alemocracy, slowly being crushed into obscurity! Here was tempting food for the germ of Bolshevism and radicalism! Here was the awful ulcer in the side of America Alemocracyl But was it destined to corrupt the nation, was it destined to drag down to ruin so young and promising a people? ln their dire necessity there was a dumb pleading, an earnest supplication, which Gompers, great humanitarian that he was, discerned. He heard their prayers, and l22l High School of Commerce answered by weilding a sword of indomitable will power against the barrier that suppressed them. He severed their bonds, snapped the manacles that chained them to the earth and opened to them the path to success, which resulted in the birth, development and final recognition of the American Federation of Labor. What is labor? Who is the wage earner, for whom so noble a life has been given ?, ls it those men, who because of necessity toil, with no moral goal in mind? Those who nurse only petty grievances against fate and government? Those whose least desire is to contribute to the wealth and power of his country? May God Forbidl Turn to the great cities whose growth has been one of the striking characteristics of the past sixty years. In those cities, marvelous structures seem to stretch upward almost touching the cloudland, expressing the infinite ambition of man. Structures overwhelming, well- nigh unbelievable in conception and execution, reaching upward twenty, thirty years more than fifty stories and downward into the depths of the earth. Or turn to the mighty, yet exquisitely delicate structures spanning rivers and chasms, that the forces of civilization may conquer every barrier-the bridges-the great engineering achievements in the heart of civilization. Watch one of these constructions in the process of erection, the iron skeleton as it rises skyward, the frame about which building materials are to be gathered and fashioned. As the girders and separate pieces are lifted into position, watch the workers moving along narrow places, boldly poised on perilous heights, securing bolts and rivets. Watch the human worker as he stands on an iron skeleton of a building, thirty stories up from the earth's security, and lifts his head upward. There is nothing between him and the vast, bare expanse of the heavens, as he looks out upon the city, the handiwork of his craft and his fellow-workmen, and down, down into the narrow passageway below. There tiny speck-like men scurry to and fro, like ants, occupied with little plans and business. Then ponder well, what manner of man is this builder of our modern civilization. These are the men Gompers strove to bring into recognition, these workers who are the founders of government, builders of nations, with whom rests the march of civilization and progress of National Strength and Power. May the name and spirit of this noble statesman long dwell in our minds. Let us look to him as the father of American Labor, and remember him as a stalwart champion of American Ideals, and, above all, a valiant defender of his Country's Rights. l23l lass rupbztp, 192521 By BIQRTHA ANNE SHERIDAN LAVERTY had already made three attempts to write the prophecy of the class of '25-A. Those of you who know me very well, know that l'm just one of the 25-Als and that our greatest tendency points to-I won't say towards laziness, but just procrastination. l was just about to make a fourth attempt when the evening paper arrived. Again the neglected prophecy was thrown aside. I read and re-read the three-weeks-old news of Worcester and XVorcester countyg then as a last resort I began to scan the advertising section. Oh! an idea at last. A fortune teller! I hastily glanced up and down the page, when suddenly a very odd name attracted my attention. I read the advertisement and was satisfied. I immediately put on my hat and coat, and like the girl in the fairy book went out to seek my fortune. Realizing that I was soon to learn of the fate of the Class of '25-A, including myself, l eagerly and curiously started on my errand. I soon reached my destination. I rang the bell and boldly walked up a Hight of crooked stairs. The odd-named woman, who, by the way was most unusual looking, let me in, and in a very queer way began to show me the doings of the Class of '25-A just fifteen years from the present time. It was now evening and the lights of Main Street were shining in full glory. Perched high above the other signs was a brilliant display of electric lights formed into a design with the words, lt Pays To Advertisefl A voice behind me said, Looking for a falling star, Bert? It was John lVIurphy, who had settled here, and with lVIorris Lowe as a partner, and was selling an automobile of his own make. John had one of his own machines with him. It looked like a first'class steam roller, but went only a third as fast. I asked John what the sign signified. He said, Hop in, and l'll take you over to the 'VVorcester Advertising Co'. I took one look at the apology for a car and decided to walk. lNIorris directed me to the office and soon I gained an audience with the president of the concern, Dave IVIyers. Scarcely had I entered, when Dave began to recite snappy poems and told me how to get rich quick thru advertising. If I wanted a million, etc. I just had to register with him. Elsie Lane then walked in. She had received a degree from every noted college and every letter of the alphabet hitched to her name. Elsie had just finished writing a book, a treatise on the best method of disposing of stray cats. I then left the office, and while descending the stairs whom should I see but Nlildred Johnson and Lynnea I-Ioakanson going into an office. I rushed in after I24I High School of Commerce them and shook hands. They had written such popular songs as I'm Always Sitting Alone In A Flat, and Hltls So Hard To Drown Your Blues In a Low C. They were first sung at the Kennedy Theatre, run by our old schoolmate Jack. I rushed into Jack's theatre and took a seat. I was just in time for the per- formance, The orchestra struck up to the tune of Jingle Bells, but realizing the mistake, quickly switched over to a funeral march. The stars of the play were Lillian Guilmette, the heroine, and Tom Seymour the hero, reproducing one of Leslie Partrichls great success, Santa Claus' Revenge or The Bow-legged Steed. It was a play of the G. O. S. CGreat Open Spacesj of the great wild West and freezing North, the country where teeth are teeth on a windy nite. The play was of a jolly type, but it did bring tears to the eyes in the fourth act when the hero and heroine were shown living on a desert isle, eating nothing but onions for all three meals. I was tired on leaving the theatre, so started for the hotel where I was to put up for the nite. Bob Horton was behind the desk. Bob had done much to help weary travellers make themselves at home in Worcester. The next day after eating breakfast, I went out to see more of the great metropolis. I walked down by the new aeroplane landings and was just in time to see Mary Juhneviez, Evelyn Donovan, Ellen Doran, Katherine Phelan, Vogal Freed and Ruth Folsechild about to board the good ship Ginger Ale which was to take them to the Sahara Desert. Their mission was to make that country still dryer. After practicing in Paxton, U. S. A., they were going to free the Sahara from the clutches of bootleggers and John Barleycorn. I then boarded a bus on which I found John Barry. He was in the real estate business, and offered to sell me the town. I wasn't thinking of settling down just yet, however, after leaving him I went in search of a luncheon. The first place I came upon was Abraham's Cafe, run by Grace Abraham, with Eugene Connelly a manager. Gene certainly contributed greatly to the success of the cafe. My experiences had tired me somewhat, for I had a headache. As I went around a corner I collided with Stanley Berquist, wearing the uniform of the Chief of Police. We exchanged greetings. Stan then directed me to Dr. Birch's office. I walked in and found that it was a Doctors' Syndicate, with Pauline Bustard at the head of affairs. After rapping me on the head with a monkey Wrench and thrusting a barometer in my mouth, Pauline said to Dr. Birch, Give her some of our 'Do or Die' pills, guaranteed to kill or cure. Luckily for me I escaped while the Doctors were in an adjacent room. I left the building and started to cross the street. Down the middle of the road whizzed a large automobile. It surely was going about seventy-five miles an hour. Trailing the speed demon were five policemen. The automobile was overtaken a few feet from where I was standing. Guess who the driver was? No other than our own sweet and gentle Helen Ziskin! The policemen were Everett Scherner, George Shea, Albert Carlson, James Sullivan and Ted Waldo. James Sullivan E251 High School of Commerce was just giving Helen a summons when she smiled. Crash! Bang! The summons fell and Helen rode away triumphant. i I then visited the Murphy Moving Picture Studio. I was glad to find that Mary Murphy, the girl with the perfect personality, was the much-talked-of motion picture producer in the district. She told me to wait awhile and watch them produce a scene. Soon Mary's right hand man, Earl Patnod, came around and shouted orders through a megaphone the size of the Blockstone Tunnel. The scenes were set up and Earl called, Bring on the heroine! There, entered with sweet song and face our greatest endurance talker, Mary O'Donnell, the great American success in silent drama. Enter here with bunch of violets in your hand, was Earl's next command. In stalked with emboldened strides, Frank Stevens, a bouquet of spinach in his left hand, his heart in his right and a nickel cigar in his mouth. Frank had cultivated Doug Fairbanks' million-dollar smile and his million-dollar-salary. Again on the street, I noticed a rope stretched across one end of it. I asked what was going on, and was told that the marathon runners were due to finish their six days' race. I waited a few minutes and along came Harry Wiseman at a forty-mile- an-hour clip, closely followed by Joe Joffee. As they came to the finish, they were shoulder to shoulder, but Harry threw out his chest and won the race by seven-eights of an inch. They had been battling along like that for the last few hundred miles. joe had given up his idea of becoming an artist. I went into Samuel Franks' Hotel, the best in Worcester, intending to stay over night. In the lobby I met Belle Epstein and Eleanor Devlin just about to leave. They informed me that they were off to Italy. Belle had been staying at the Frank to learn the correct way of manipulating a string of spaghetti. I wasn't through meeting friends at the hotel yet. There were John Hartnett and Milton Orcutt sitting in easy chairs playing tic-toc-too with the ease of experts. Jack was a multi- millionaire and Milt had made a fortune by inventing a holeless doughnut, yet this game was their favorite diversion. My attention was then claimed by a tall, dark eyed woman. Upon closer observation I recognized Katherine Rawson. Kitty told me that she owned a large hospital that guaranteed to cure. On our Kitty's staff were: Elsie Oyala, Dorothy Peterson, Rose Richmond, Anna Rugeni and Astrid Samuelson. With Elsie, Dot, Rose, Anna, and Astrid it was no wonder that Kitty could guarantee a cure. I asked Katherine if she had heard from Buddy McGovern. Bertha had relin- quished her life long ambition to buy out the Woolworth Company and make it easy for working girls. Buddy decided to start a schoolg and sure enough she had. McGoverns' School for lazy pupils, starting at ten thirty A. M. was open two days a week, and had a half hour rest between periods. On the faculty were Louise Alexander Gertrude Anderson, Fannie Baskin, and Margaret Bergstrom, Louise and Gert taught the easiest way to spend a recess, while Fannie and Peg demon- strated to the children the use of the word recreation. Katherine told me that Sophia Butkirtch also was teaching school. Sophia always was a studious girl! Edith Blanchard and Ellen Buda were giving toe dancing lessons to pupils I26l High School of Commerce weighing over two hundred pounds. Ellen and Edith claimed that fat people usually were good dancers in their own way. Again in the street, I came upon Esther Dann and Sophia Cohen. They owned a candy and chewing gum store. Sophia, I guess, did the heavy work, while Esther did the heavy eating-woe to poor Sophia! As I walked up Main Street I saw a line of boys and girls ranging from the ages of four to twenty years. They were pushing and pulling one another. I inquired of a passerby the cause of the young riot, and was told it was only the pupils of the great musician Helen Daley, waiting to take their music lessons. I was rather sur- prised, so pushed my way through the crowd to Heleh's studio. She seemed glad to see me and offered me a chair. I then demanded an explanation. Helen had tried the keys of a typewriter, and decided to satisfy her father's only wish. So, to make a long story short, Helen had begun on the keys of the piano. Success at last Helen! was all I could say. On leaving Helenls studio, I descended a spiral stairway, who should be coming u.p but Sigrid Mellan, wearing about twenty-five medals won in typewriting contests. Behind Sigrid were Grace Carlson and Evelyn Danstedt, carrying more medals. I learned that Grace and Evelyn were Sigrid's trainers. Sigrid was at present preparing to enter a ten day contest of continuous typewriting. Her opponent was Mary Curran. Mary should take care not to be too ambitious. See what happened to Caesar! VVell, I had a few hours to spare, so thought I would drop into Poli's on Elm Street. I noticed that the sign was changed to the Erickson. Ralph had decided to save money, so purchased the whole theater. Before entering I took a quick look at the bill. I then looked closer. If it wasn't Marion Donahue's likeness, vamping the public! Marion was an actress, and I later learned a very, very good one. Will wonders never cease! There, too, was ou.r own Peggy Mathews' picture smiling at the thousand of pedestrians. Peg and Marion were still together. They were the stars of a large stock company that was playing at the Erickson. I went in and took a seat in the first row. Soon the curtain lifted. A sea of pretty faces were smiling at the audience. Among them I recognized Peg Fox, Ingrid Erickson, Anna Janson, Pauline Levensin, Florence Hedberg and Mary Levine. They surely could dance and sing! - The next act was entitled The Acrobatic Johnsons. Out walked Elsa, Florence and Mildred Johnson. They were good, but I almost lost my breath when they started to imitate Rube Goldberg's Statues. You know the ones I mean. Elsa stood on the Hoorg Flossie balanced herself on Elsa's noseg while Millie draped herself around Flossie's neck. The act was too much for me, I had to leave. Outside I met Bernard Zendzian. Benny had given up the drug business. He declared that he didn't have to work since he had made his fortune. I inquired the secret of his success. He waved his arms around about six times in order to wind himself up and then shouted, Combination snow shoes and tennis racquets. The only thing for the sportsmanf' Benny hadn't changed a bitg he was still the best salesman in this part of the country. As Benny was leaving me I was seized with an idea. QOf course, this was unusuaI.J I hurried after him. You know how he always had the inside ring of i271 x High School of Commerce everything? I asked him if he had seen or heard of any of our classmates. I was greeted with a loud, Sure! After a conversation that lasted fifty-nine minutes out of the next hour, I found that: Joe Dumas and Lester Harris had become the world's greatest soap box orators. Lester was selling Smilex Tooth Paste. Poor Joe had to do the smiling. Our keen lady, Loretta Greaney, was posing for magazine covers. Newspapers had to go out of business. Morris Griff had a private hospital for the benefit of his cross-word puzzle bugs. You would be surprised to know the large number of crazy cross-word puzzle people! George Hagan and John Hill were Morris' only standbys. George and Jack were the only two men in the world who could pacify the Griff pets. Arthur Jewell had the sole agency for the Woolworth specialty jewelry. For his slogan he had, lt May Be Cheap, But OH! What a Sparkle. jo Kablinsky had become a physical education instructor, and had a large school of her own. In Jo's school could be found live horses and bucks. Dot Lee, Mary Kellerher, jo Liberty and Anne Kjillberg assisted Josephine in teaching the dainty art. George Larson had invented a pair of stretchless rubber boots--boots that could be put away for rainy weather. Harry Ljingquist had written a book, of excuses for absent and tardy pupils. Thyra Lundblad, Raynhild Madsen, Gladys McElroy, Madeline McMullan and Anna Mantyla kept an old maids' home. This was a surprise to me! It almost tore my heart to think that these five girls had left the harsh and cruel, yet beautiful and glorious, world for the dull monotony of an old maids' home. Emil Mallet had just returned from Asia.. He had spent the greater part of the last fifteen years there, acquiring a tan, so that he would resemble one of the desert leaders. Arline Moore had control of all the Worcester banks. No matter what Arline's conversations concerned, she always ended them with, I must admit that Worcester has the best banking system of which I know. Then she would dab her nose with a little Cara Nome. Rose Mooradian had a ladies' fashion shop whose display excelled the power of language. Rose did her own advertising. Arthur Nigro spent most of his time selling and smoking the Nigro Cigarettes. Mostly smoking! So ended Ben's tale of our class. The next person I met was Albert Shellan. He told me that he was going abroad to study music, and at the same time he was going to carry out a bet he had foolishly made while in High School. The bet was that he could swim the Atlantic Ocean within ten years. I wished him luck and told him Beowulf had nothing on him. E281 High School of Commerce Imagine my surprise when I gazed upon the immense sign with The O'Rielly Beauty Shop on it. There was Margaret O'Rielly, as big as life, giving orders to Harriet Roe, Louise Ramstrom, Jean Ross and Ruth Rudberg. Harriet, Louise, Jean and Ruth were Margaret's living advertisements. They did a lot to beautify the pathetically homely faces of some of the people of the community. Margaret told me to drop into the Perry Printing House. I followed her directions and soon found myself on Pearl Street, There was Franklin Perry, shirt sleeves rolled up, working like a beaver. Franklin always intended to follow the trade of his namesake Ben. I inspected Franks' shop and then departed. As I walked down Pearl Street, which by the way, was pearly in name only, I heard loud voices behind me. I turned quickly and saw three men deeply engrossed in an argument. As the voices grew louder' I turned again. This time I recognized the men to be Norman Phillips, John Provost and Sidney Savatsky. Sid seemed to be getting the better of the other two. I stopped and asked them to let me in on the argument, but after hearing the question I withdrew. Sidney claimed that he was going to invest his money in an ice cream parlor which he would open the following month in Greenland: John insisted that there would be more profit in a bathing suit factory, while Norman maintained that icicle sandwiches would be good sellers. All I could say was, Well, boys, do you think it would mean anything to the Eskimo ? I left the arguing trio and hurried around the corner of the street. Bingo! Boxes Hew in all directions. It was Dot Squires, I helped her to pick up her bundles and at the same time asked her what she was doing for a living. Dorothy had become one of our leading artists. This was no surprise to me. All I could hope was that the 25-A autograph books were well preserved. Dot had spent most of her school time decorating them. Dorothy told me that Mildred and Phyllis Smith were kindergarten teachers. No wonder the pupils hated to grow old and that some of the older-shall I say boys ?-wanted to grow young again. All that Milly and Phyllis had to do was to teach the younger generation to be as refined as Domino Sugar. Dot also told me that Leo Williams had become one of the world's famous de- tectives. Leo had given up his hopes of some day becoming a musician. I had no sooner said good-bye to Dot when I heard the sweetest, melodious laugh. Where had I head it before. Sure enough it was Jerry Talbot. I hurried after Geraldine and tapped her on the shoulder. Instead of stopping and looking around she walked all the faster. I then called, Oh Jerry! Geraldine quickened her pace. I called again. Oh, Geraldinelu' Geraldine was almost running now. Then, I shouted, Oh, Toots! Geraldine stopped as if she had been shot. She was sole owner of the Tootsie Roll Factory. Jerry was bubbling over with news. She asked me- if I had heard about Lillian Wheeler, Frances Wood, Ida Yaffe, Ellen Mattson and Ruth Stickney. Of course, I hadn't. Lillian Wheeler, and Frances Wood were lawyers. They -were I29l High School of Commerce partners. Lill and Fran got their inspirations from our Commercial Law Class. lda Yaffe fooled the world and took a husband for a partner, while Ruth Stickney and Ellen Mattson were partners in a Marriage Agency. Ruth and Ellen made it their business to satisfy their customers within twenty-four hours. John O'Connor was owner of the Stick Ever Glue Factory, Jack always was a bear for sticky things-from stick-pins to Hy-papers. Mary O'Day was spending her life renovating and remodeling Worcester. Why, Mary was after convincing the City Council that steam heaters should be installed in Lake Quinsigamond. Arthur Williamson was a Building Mover. He had just finished a job. I know you will all be delighted to hear it. Arthur had just received four million dollars from the school children of Worcester for taking the High School of Commerce from its lofty perch and placing it on the main street. Many of you will ask why? Think it over my children. That hill of ours! Q I interrupted our sweet Toots at this point and asked her about Gilly. Gloria's story was a long and sad one. I really wept. After graduating from high school Gloria went to college, where she was a good student and graduated with honors. But woe to Gilly! She had two hobbies. White horses and wirelesses. She loved them! She even dreamed about them! But, she was afraid of live horses, so what did Gilly do but start a toy factory. This toy factory was different from others in that, only white horses were made. Mary Sumner did not care very much for the business, but Gilly paid her a good salary to go out into the city and induce mothers to buy the harmless animals for their young hopefuls. Gilly's horse was Spark Plug's only rival! 1 walked, and walked and walked. l seemed to walk into nothing but space! I left the city streets, bright lights and confusion behind me. Suddenly! I received a sharp tap on the face. l jumped, opened my eyes and looked wildly about. The only thing l could hear was, Two dollars, please! l30l R. R. Gnmmwoon Alla mafia TO COMMERCE CHARLES I.

Our short stay here, filled with many happy moments and many difiicult tasks is ended. YVe have encountered many in- conveniences, but we have borne them cheerfully, realizing that it was worth while. The circumstances surrounding our stay here, none will ever know, save we, our parents, and our teachers, without whose co-operation and assistance during the past four years, this gathering today would not have been possible. ln this same hall for the past ten years, classes have gathered for the same purpose that we are here today. They are gone, remembered by some, forgotten by many. lVe are just another class. Soon, we will be forgotten. ln years to come, other classes will gather here to take our places, for we too will be gone, just as those who have preceded us. But mrlay -we are here. Today is our day. Today we celebrate. Speaking in behalf of my class, l welcome you here today. I welcome lVIr. Andrews, our beloved principal, whose ever-ready willingness to help, and whose un- tiring efforts to make our stay here a happy one, have played an important part in the achievement of our success. I welcome our dear teachers, who have striven so hard with us, to make our success assured. I welcome our Friends, who by their attendance here today, show their interest in us, and display a kindliness toward us that gladdens our hearts. YVe welcome and extend most affectionate greetings to our dear parents. The hardships they have endured, the sacrifices they have made to enable us to receive our high school education, are known only to them. History tells us that those things gained through sacrifice are most appreciated. Above all else, then, Dear Parents, do we value the education you have enabled us to receive, and we appreciate that you have done for us more than words can tell. l welcome you one and all to our Class Day exercises. We Seniors extend you this welcome with joy in our hearts, but not without a pang of deep regret that we now must go forth, leaving behind us this dear old school, our home, our very life and soul, for the past few years. The past is past. The Future lies before us. But fodny we are here. Today is our day. Today uw' celebrate. U21 Clllass Zlaisturp, 192558 By ASTRID E. CARLSON T had been a long, hard day at work and I was very l glad when I turned my weary steps toward home-an l institution for maiden ladies. In all these years that had past, I had lost sight of my dearest friends. Never- theless, I had one who had been ever faithful to me. He had sheltered me summer and winer. He had often whis- pered kind words to me, but he had never spoken. Oh! often I wished he had but one kind word! He was so tall and good-looking. I was now in sight of my beautiful home-for it was beautiful. My heart beat quickly. But it was not the sight of my home that caused this unusual palpitation. It was the sight of my only friend standing in front of my window. As I went up the walk, a kind, but low voice said, How do you do, Miss! I don't think you f know me even after all these years of acquaintance! I was so amazed to hear my friend actually speak that I was speechless, an unusual thing in woman, especially myself. Just try to remember me! I am sure you must know mell' A This time I gained courage and said, Know you! Of course I know you! You are my only friend! You are my only protector, my only comforter! You are the tall and sturdy oak that has been my companion for-oh, I wonlt mention the number of years! Yes, I am now a sturdy oak. But I have not always been so. I am afraid you do not know me as well as you think you do. I will tell you. I represent the class of 1925-B of the High School of Commerce. I nearly fainted when I heard these words. I had almost forgottenhow long ago it was that I graduated. But my friend went on. I was but a little acorn once. Great things from little acorns growf' I mused. But I grew, he continued, and, I am still growing. That was way back in 1921. But the class that I represented kept working. Their motto seemed to be, Go Right On Working. I took the Hrst letter of each word and used as my motto Grow! This I have done. I grew quickly for in 1922 my branches began to spread out. Like the sopho- mores, I thought I was just IT. But the class kept working, and I kept growing, and by 1923 I felt I had advanced tremendously in years. So did the Juniors. My high water mark seemed to be in 192-le, when everyone remarked about my beauty. I was very proud and my branches reached out and took on new growth. So with the Seniors. They were considered to be a remarkable classy and they knew it. They took on several new branches of work. Their members worked harder than ever for the Blue and Gold. In June 1925, I held my head high, and my branches stretched in K391 High School of Commerce every direction. I put on a new coat of leaves for the occasion-Commencement. Am I refreshing your memory, miss? Yes--yes, go on, I stammered. I remembered. How could I forget? I cannot go on with the class activities. They are too numerous. Probably you remember them. But the years past are many. You were probably but seventeen then, and you must be fifty-three now. I blushed because I did not know that anyone was aware of the fact that I was a day over thirty-five. I have the records, the tree went on. Where ? I asked in a somewhat excited scream. Where did you get them ? Some kind friend laid them in a box beneath my feet. With the aid of an old fork, some knitting needles, and curling irons, I resurrected this treasure which I shall now read to you. The conditions in the Worcester schools were very poor in 1921. Schools were over-crowded, books were scarce. The only things that seemed plentiful were the pupils. As a result of this condition, the little children who had chosen Commerce as their school were compelled to go everywhere-except to Commerce. Some went to North, some to South. Only a few gained entrance to Commerce. At the various other high schools they met with many inconveniences. One of the greatest was to sit on the stairs during Assemblies. This condition lasted only twenty weeks, however. ln February, 1922, two groups of youngsters found their way into the Commerce Assembly Hall. Here they were assigned to the different classes--but they were P. M. sessions. This, of course, met with some disapproval at first. But they were very good children and finally had to agree to accept such conditions. At the end of the Freshman year, some of the students actually feared that they would not be able to continue their afternoon sessions. Whether it was the loss of sleep they were worrying about or the loss of their afternoon teachers, no one knows. Their History may be summed up briefly in the following sentence: They were shy, therefore they kept away from everything but lessons. The children thought they were children no longer when they became sophomores. They immediately lost their shyness and suddenly became young men and women. So grown up were they that class officers were necessary, and the following were chosen: President, john Murphyg Vice-President, Eleanor Bettleyg Secretary, Astrid Carlson, Treasurer, George Hagen. The boys were becoming active in athletics. On the 1922 Championship Track Team. this class could boast of at least one member, Edgar Fielding. The girls could boast of at least four members in the orchestra. They were: Anne Miliefsky, Ruth Sheir, Alice Mooradian, and Esther Bindman. There were also other musicians. Eleanor Bettley, Wilfred Bachand, Freida Davis, and Dorothy Bradford added much to the success of O Hara San. - Toward the close of the sophomore year it became very evident that the members of this class had lost most of their shyness. New officers were elected for the coming year. They were: President, John Murphyg Vice-President, Eleanor Bettleyg Secretary, Mary Casey, Treasurer, Henry Riopel. Edgar Fielding was again making a fine showing in athletics. This time he had Waldo Hagberg, Roy Adams, Louis Breitborde, and George Debs with him. Diana Dube was the outstanding athlete among the girls. Alice Johnson, Mary Solomon, and Alice Stanton also made a fine showing for Commerce. E401 High School of Commerce This year Anne Miliefsky, Ruth Sheir, Esther Bindman, and Alice Mooradian again added much success to the orchestras. The class could also claim actors and actresses. Mary Casey played her part perfectly as leading lady in Disraeli. Elizabeth Rourke, Freida Davis, and John Murphy also did much to add to the success of this great undertaking. By this time, the class could also boast of several comedians as shown in the famous mock trial, The Great Umbrella Case. James Kearney and Frederick Seeton were the outstanding Juniors in this trial. It must also be recorded that the members of the class felt that they were becoming old. So, a Junior Kid Day was celebrated. It was such a great success that it served as front page news for the Worcester Telegram. Public speaking and debating also claimed much attention from the students. This class had no boys on the public speaking team, but it could claim two girls. They were Grace Durrell and Mary Casey. Debating was fast gaining headway. The boys' interclass team was composed of James Kearney, Sarkis Kachajian, Emil Kattas, and Theodore Waldo. The girls teams were composed of Pauline Cotton, Ruth Anderson, Clara Ander- son, Eva Cohen, Winnifred Kennedy, and Astrid Carlson. All the teams worked hard although they were not victorious. The inter-high debates took place early in March. The boys' team had one Junior of whom it could be justly proud. This Junior was James Kearney. Astrid Carlson was the only Junior on the victorious girls team. After so many labors, the class thought that there should be a theatre party. Quite a few attended the Strand. Afterwards the pupils returned to the school where a dance and a social were enjoyed. On May 26, the Britomart celebrated its 30th anniversary. A pageantg in which several Juniors took leading parts, was successfully rendered. lt is safe to say that a good time was had by young and old. It was evident that the Senior year had finally come. Grace Durrell had pinned up her curls and James Kearney came to school one day actually grown up. Even the other students became more and more dignified. New oflicers were again chosen. They were: President, James Kearney, Vice- President, Eleanor Bettleyg Secretary, Mary Kittredgeg Treasurer, Raymond LaForce. Athletics were booming this year as never before. Hard luck seemed to be with the girls for they lost both basketball and hockey championships by a very narrow margin. Diana Dube, Alice Johnson, Alice Stanton, and Mary Ol'Brien all deserve much credit for their fine sportsmanship and excellent Work. The Boys' Baseball Team was well represented by Seniors. They were Louis Breitborde, Bernard McGrath, John Monahan, and Edgar Fielding. Louis Breitborde, Milton Orcutt, Bernard McGrath, and Harold Johnson were a great asset to the Commerce basketball team. Cross Country also had several Seniors participating. They were: Edgar Field- ing, Waldo Hagberg, and Roy Adams. I George Debs, Bernard McGrath, Sanford Price, and John Monahan proved themselves to be fine football players. A Senior Prom, which was well attended, was held in the gymnasium. Everyone who went said that they had a good timeg while everyone who stayed away felt as if they had missed something that was worth while. E411 High School of Commerce On April 3 the Blackfriars presented Hobson's Choice. Mary Casey, the lead- ing lady, proved herself capable of dictating to the leading man, John Murphy. Beth Rourke, Roy Adams, and Wilfred Grennon all played their parts worthy of commen- dation. The Music Memory Contest took place in the spring with several members of this class participating. Marguerite Langevin, Mildred Kelley, Eleanor Bettley, and Ruth McNabb all worked hard for Commerce. John Murphy represented the Seniors in the inter-high public speaking contest. The only senior on the girls' team was Phyllis Pineo. This year the girls' senior inter-class debating team made up for their last year's defeat and carried away the Britomart cup. The team was composed of Winnifred Kennedy, Clara Anderson, Pauline Cotton, and Astrid Carlson. The boys' inter-high debating team was well represented by Seniors. James Kearney, William Levenson, and Sarkis Kachajian made a fine showing against Classical. The girls' inter-high debating team which was victorious over South also was well represented by members of this class. They Were: Astrid Carlson, Winnifred Kennedy, and Clara Anderson. A Senior Day was celebrated with much festivity. Ma-ma dolls, balloons, teddy bears, and lollypops were seen everywhere. Occasionally a girl with long tresses could be found amongst the crowd. The Jllercury seemed better than ever in 1925. This was probably due to the very eflicient staff of Seniors. Dorothy Bradford made a very fine editor-in-chief. She was ably assisted by Mary Kittredge, Sarkis Kachajian, Milton Orcutt, Louis Breitborde, Alice Stanton, Gertrude Krinsky, Grace Halloway, Minnie Posner, Isabelle Frickenhaus, Gemma Giberti, Fred Clafflin, Alice Mooradian, Wilfred Bachand, Rita Garrupy, and Phyllis Pineo. After this record was written many important events will have taken place that the writer was unable to record. Last but not least, the writer wishes to express her appreciation for the class to our beloved principal, Mr. Andrews, to the faculty who have so patiently instructed us, and to our parents who have sacrificed much in order to give us an education. She also wishes to express her desire for the future success of that illustrious class of 1925-B of the High School of Commerce. T421 lass Q9ratiun, 1925: THEODORE ROOSEVELT By SARKIS K. KACHAJIAN ISE was a custom among the Greeks and Romans, to erect statues of heroes in public places, that their youths in contemplating these statues might be inspired to emulate the noble examples thus placed before them. Indeed how can youth be better fitted for the stern and important duties of life than by the study of those lives which have illuminated the dark places of history, and by their struggles and sacrifices have lifted the race nearer to God. XVhat lover of liberty does not feel his country dearer to him as he thinks of the noble sacrifices of YVilliam Tell, VVilliam of Orange or of any of those great men whose devotion to the cause of liberty laid the foundation of our own country? Or what friend of justice, equality, and patriotism, does not feel his heart throb with emotion at the contemplation of another great ' man whose name the Muse of history has engraved with the names of XVashington and Lincoln,-that of the author, huntsman, warrier, peacemaker, executive, and statesman, Theodore Roosevelt. He was first and always an American. VVords to him were idle unless enforced by deeds. Endowed with almost superenergy and enthusiasm, he spent his life in service to mankind and devotion to his country. As a boy he was honest and faithful, honest not only in his dealings with others but in his throughts, his words, and his deeds. Faithful he was in every duty, even though it were of the least importance. Soon he passed from boyhood into manhood, and these great qualities gradually developed until in his later life, he stood forth a model of character for his country, and occupied the highest place not alone in political station, but in the affection of his people. The same characteristics are seen in the man that were marked in the boy. At college he was the most popular in his class, and an excellent student. He had in a very high degree that ability essential to loyal scholarship,--the power of concentra- tion. VVhatever he did he did it with all his might and with tremendous enthusiasm. In college he was not a ready speaker, but through persistent determination and untiring efforts he mastered the art of oratory, until at the age of twenty-five he had been leader of his party in the New York Assembly and had gone at the head of the New York Delegation to the Republican National Convention. In 1895 he resigned from the Civil Service and became president of the Board of Police Commissioners of New York City, and after two strenuous years, he was appointed assistant secretary of the navy. E431 High School of Commerce At this time when Spain was challenging the civilized world, Europe looked to us. We were the nearest and strongest nation. We accepted the challenge. We declared war upon a tyrant who was oppressing the people of a small, weak neighbor and endangering the lives and property of our citizens. The cries of starving and persecuted Cuba sent a thrill of pity through the bosom of every unselfish American. The tocsin of war sounded. At the nation's call business was set aside, the sturdy laborer ceased his toils. No thirst for gold, no desire for fame assembled unitedly these thousands of our countrymen. They Went to fight for the honor of our flag and for the human freedom in the Western Hemisphere. What was the conduct of Mr. Roosevelt throughout the war? That of a hero- a true, just, conscientious hero. His one object was to save the weak, the helpless, the liberty-loving inhabitants of Latin American republics. ln all the actions in which his regiment of Rough Riders were engaged he was a fearless leader, a hero, who made no distinction of race, color, creed, politics, or social standing. He was the equal and friend of them all. Because of his sacrifices in noble achievements, and on account of popular belief in his personal integrity and political soundness, he was elected governor of New York. Then in the year of 1900 he was nominated Vice President of the United States, as a running mate with William McKinley for President. Mr. Roosevelt's mental alertness and vigorous probity and frank sincerity commended him for the great office of our land. A few months after the election of the chief executive, the nation's tranquility was shattered by the news that President lVIcKinley had been struck down by an assassin's bullet. The people were stunned. The nation stood still, overwhelmed in deep sorrow. The tragedy at Buffalo placed upon the Vice President the burden of office. At forty-three Theodore Roosevelt became the twenty-sixth and the youngest President of this great republic. I look into the crystal globe of History that, slowly turning, reveals the story of the life of Theodore Roosevelt, and I see a little delicate boy weeping because an unsound body barred him from a primary education. I watch him bravely overcoming his boyhood weakness through systematic and regular exercises of mind and body. I see this lad growing into manhood-intense, energetic, decisive, idealistic and patriotic. I see the full-grown man stalwart, and brave, an athlete in activity of movements and strength of limb, yet vexed by weird dreams and visions of life, of love, of patriotism, sometimes verging on despair. I see the mind, grown as robust as the body, throw off these phantoms of the imagination and give itself wholly to this work-a-day world, the rearing of children, the earning of bread, the multiple duties of the husband, the father, and the ideal citizen. I see the party leader, faithful in conscious rectitude, original because it was not his nature to follow, potent, because he was fearless, pursuing his convictions with earnest zeal, and urging them upon his fellows with the resources of oratory. I see him carrying his education to the library, to the ranch, and public service. I see a genuine, hearty, vigorous man, fond of his friends, courteous to his enemies, seeking no quarrels, avoiding attacks, a man singularly open in his disposition, who consulted widely, matured slowly and expressed his final convictions with such energy that it seemed to sway the civilized world. E441 High School of Commerce I see the hero enlisted in the great army of freedom. I see him leading the untrained Rough Riders, through the streets of the burning cities, through the jungles, over the hill and across the wilderness, down to the field of Glory to do and to die for the eternal right. He stands with them in the roar and shriek of the bursting shells and under the quiet stars. I see him by them on the hills, when in the whirlwind of the charge his men become iron, with nerves of steel. I see the warrior standing by them between contending forces unable to move, wild with thirst, as their life blood ebbed slowly away among the withered leaves. I see the patriot with his men on all Weary marches and in the hospitals of pain. But human speech can never tell what they endured. I see this great souled American raised from the ranks of obscurity to the supreme command at the paramount hour and entrusted with the destiny of a mighty nation. And last scene of all, that ends this eventful history I see him lying asleep, careless alike of sunshine and storm, in his windowless palace of rest. Earth may run red with other wars-he is at peace. In the midst of battle, in the struggle for life, in the thunder of conflict, he has found the serenity of death. America has had many who were great, many who were wise, and many who were good. We have had many leaders whom all America esteems and admires. But there is only one Roosevelt. None can ever supplant him in the hearts of his countrymen. Nothing can ever dim the lustre of achievements in arms. No statesman America has ever cradled can hope to excel his pre-eminence as a patriot, whose every act was unselfishly inspired by the pure love of his country. Although he himself has passed away his works on earth shall never perish. No, as long as earthly toil shall be remembered, the deeds of Theodore Roosevelt will be conspicuous in the hearts of his countrymen. Our duty to these noble characters can be discharged only by upholding and expounding those principles, which have stood the test of time, by making progress along lines of greater service to our country and fellows, by giving to them the greatest gift that is in our power to give-ourselves. As the life and service of this rugged American passed before us like a dream, we see that no monument, not even a statue of gold or silver, can do justice to him. lt is his spirit that inspires the youth of our age to a nobler, mightier, and more patriotic endeavor. And far in the glorious horizon we can see blazing words upon the clear blue of his living, breathing challenge of life, of glory, and self-sacrifice. Only those are fit to live, declared Theodore Roosevelt, are those who do not fear to die, and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. E451 Glass iBrnpiJetp, 192553 By MARY CASEY I-IE 1925-B class had chosen me for their class prophet and, while I considered it a great honor, I was puzzled as to how and from whom I could get the power to reveal their future lives. I was well aware of the fact that I was not a sibyl, and had no ability to read the future. After careful and considerable thought, l determined to visit the retiring, meditative and profoundly scientific Messer Gerald McClure, who had been working with the great astronomer and writer of astral lore, Flamerion. After long hours of laborious work, knowing that if I was to obtain any information I must be prepared to stay a long while, I was finally in readiness for departure. N Upon arriving at my destination I found, much to my I surprise, that Messer McClure was waiting and ready to receive me. Upon questioning him as to how he had known of my visit, he told me that by his occult powers he had been able to foretell my coming and, moreover, that he had foreseen my reason for coming, and because of this he had spent a great deal of time in studying the heavens to see if he could obtain any information in regard to our class. l was desirous of asking him many questions but I curbed my impatience and, indeed, I felt very much repaid when he told me of the great constellation which he had discovered. By means of a high powered telescope he had been able to obtain considerable information regarding this constel- lation such as its position, its size, its distance from the earth, and other astronomical data. The first thing which he had discovered was that the constellation was in con- junction with lNIars and because of this he had been able to predict that all the boys would be aggressive and as able to give combat in the great struggle which lies beyond the school horizon, as they had been in the field of sport and in the classroom. The second fact which he had discovered proved, indeed, quite as interesting as the first. The star Athene had also come in conjunction with the constellation and had thus predicted that all the girls would be gifted with the greatest of wisdom in order that they might be able to cope with all the great problems which would face them after they had left the threshold of their youthful years. Messer McClure read the horoscope from a great chart and with a very secretive air pointed to the mysterious signs, strange symbols and idiographs which would unveil the greatness of our future lives. Although these things were very interesting, I was just a little bit anxious to look through the great glass of the telescope and see for myself this discovery. Because of the awesome tones in which Messer McClure spoke of this constella- tion, I felt all the more conscious of its greatness. NVhen hnally he told me I might look through the glass I became a bit nervous, but being aware of the great honor which he was paying me, I summoned all my self-control and walked over to the place where the glass stood. At first there seemed E461 High School of Commerce to be one great group of stars, but suddenly, in a very southern corner of the great constellation a huge double star seemed to radiate splendour. Turning to Messer McClure I asked him what this great star signified, and he, with his profound astral mind read, in the most solemn of tones, that the great significance of those twin lights gleaming with inseparable love and faithfulness, proved that as Eleanor Bettley and Elizabeth Rourke had manifested during their high school years, only the greatest of comradeship and faithfulness toward one another, so also in future years would these great traits help them over the road, which, if they had to travel alone might prove too diflicult. Looking again through the telescope I saw a bright, twinkling star, and by the knowing sly twinkles I suspected, and was re-assured by the eminent Messer McClure, that it signified that Mary Kittredge had an astral body which betrayed the rougish- ness and slyness which we all knew so well, and which had many times proven fatal to that self-same person. As he wiped his glasses very solemnly lNIesser McClure assured me that the luminous star foretold the greatest of happiness for Mary and all those who came under the enchantment of her rosy beams. As I again looked through the telescope I saw a planet which seemed to be surrounded by a circle of fire, and Messer McClure told me that by this planet he had been able to foretell the ascendency of Gemma Giberti, Valida Gaudette and Anita Metiever to the worlds' foremost dancers. By this same planet he had also been able to prophesy that as instructors in ball-room dancing, Kathleen Dubuc, Ruth Campbell, Lucille Dubrule and Ruth Elander would be able to teach all persons, even boys going to senior proms, the correct and proper way to dance. This indeed seemed a wonderful thing, and I looked eagerly forward to the day in future years when there would be no one able to excuse themselves with that tired, worn out phrase, I can't dance. For a moment I listened intently while Messer McClure told me of one star in the constellation which seemed to outshine all the others. Because of the greatness of that star, said Messer McClure, I decided to name it after Wilfred Bachond. just imagine the greatness of my grief when as I watched it that very night, it suddenly whizzed to the earth and disappeared in the darkness. This great star which was seemingly of the first magnitude turned out to be only a meteorite. This was a great blow to the learned man, but he still had great faith in the constellation and bid me look again through the glass. This time I saw three stars which seemed to disappear and reappear. Much puzzled I turned to Messer McClure and asked him their significance. With a solemn wagging of his head he told me those stars revealed the uncertainty of the minds of Thelma Barr, Frances Chickering and Thelma Allen. They were trying to solve the great problem whether it would be more profitable for them to go to the Memorial Training School or to continue at the High School of Commerce and see how many days they could skip from that beloved institution of learning and attend the beloved Royal Theatre of moving pictures. The next star which attracted my attention was a very bright star displaying very clearly its five great points. The learned professor told me that each one of these points signified one of the letters which Louis Breitborde had received for his great work in athletics. How could we help but see that Louis was to be one of the greatest athletes the world had ever known. Around this star was a group of stars which seemed almost as brilliant as the first star. These stars, represented the other great I47l High School of Commerce athletes of our class, namely: Frank Hasset, George Debbs, Henry Pierson, Edgar Fielding, Frank Shea, Raymond Mullaney and Joseph Pavella. Because of their nearness to one another in the constellation, it had been predicted that they would join together in one of the best, hard working teams that the athletic world had ever seen, and as a result of their faithfulness and earnestness they would bring back to their Alma Mata many glorious victories. Close to this group was another group which I learned foretold of the great success with which our girl athletes would meet. This group represented such great athletes as Diana Dube, Mary O'Brien Agnes Hickey, lhlary Power, Alice Johnson and Alice Stanton. Because of the great team-work which they had shown during their high school games, we were confident of the fact that their team would soon be recorded in the book of fame. Looking again through the crystal I saw two stars which seemed to be winking and blinking as if in conversation with one another. As he solemnly tapped on the table in front of him, Messer McClure admitted that these two stars represented Dorothy Bradford and Gertrude Krinsky exchanging the important news which in- volved the doings of so many people of interest. Because of their never-failing ability to obtain interesting news, he was sure that the stars predicted that in a very few years the Bradford-Krinsky News would be a paper known the world over. A group of stars throwing forth a very brilliant, cold glare were the next ones to attract my attention. I gazed at them a long time and finally Messer McClure told me that these stars foretold that Winnifred Kennedy, Clara and Ruth Anderson, Eva Cohen and Pauline Cotton because of the thorough drilling in debating and argumen- tation which they had received would turn out to be five of the foremost woman lawyers ever admitted to the bar. A planet surpassing all the rest in its greatness came within the focus of the glass. This planet represented the greatness of Terjen Terjenian and Sanford Price. Not only were these boys great in size but they would also be great in the business world, developing one of the greatest piano moving concerns in the world. Through the hard work of Bertrand Thrain, Joseph Carey and Frank Sheehan, the able assistants in the piano business, the business would increase as their star rose. Again gazing through the crystal I saw a planet from which poured the purest beams of light. I inquired again for the meaning of these stars. My curiosity was satisfied when the seer told me that they portrayed the charming personalities of Margaret Degnan, Cecelia Fogarty, Harriet Howe, Eleanor Hosmer, Evelyn Trask and Nina Vaudette, by the means of which each, had been able to reach the pinnacle of success as nurses. By the luminous rays thrown forth by another light, I was able to foretell that as teachers Ina Erickson, Evelyn Barraclough, Catherine Carrigan, Greta Eckberg, Phyllis Pinieo, Grace Durrell, Nellie Raftery, Gladys Johnson, Sadie Kopan, and last but no least Wilfred Grennon, would turn out stars as brilliant as they them- selves are. The next planet which loomed into view seemed to be revolving in a great business-like atmosphere. It was with a very happy countenance that Messer McClure informed me that it denoted one of the greatest business houses in the world. It was no great mystery to me when I found out that for its president it had such an eminent man as Frank Crimmins. Indeed, how could he help but be a success when he had for his private secretary such an attentive, wide-awake person as Theresa Sullivan. The treasury of this firm was continually growing and expanding in size. This I48l High School of Commerce was due to the same persistent efforts which Raymond LaForce had, as I remembered, shown in collecting our class dues. Fred Clafflin played a leading part in the concern, holding the very important office of head bookkeeper. Through the aid of his com- petent staff, consisting of Mary Casale, Margaret Bushman, Marion Bertel, Eunice Goodspeed, Mary Griffin and Helen Arkwell, Fred had invented a new system of bookkeeping, which was spreading like wild-fire throughout the country. One of the chief reasons for the concern's success was the speedy head stenographer, Mary McCabe, who was ably assisted by Mary Lynch, Asunda Jeanette, Hazel Haskel, Grace Under- wood, Elizabeth McConnville, Margaret Morill, Alice Fray, Dorothy Wantzell and Mary Shulman. Another great factor to be considered in the success of the firm was the work of the adequate accountants, Ida Cohen, Ralph Cohen, Daniel Cohen and Charles Missle. Of course, it wouldnit be a real business if it didn't have an advertising department. A new idea for advertising by radio had been invented and those responsible for this great undertaking were Rita Garrepy, Grace Halloway, Minnie Posner, Isabelle Frickenhouse, Elsie McLean and Sarkis Kachajian. As I gazed in rapt admiration at the planet I could not help but wish that Mr. Andrews might be there to see what fame and honor had been wrought by former Commerce pupils. Messer McClure thought it best for me to rest awhile, and while I hated to leave the fascinating work I had to admit that it would be beneficial. Several hours later I again resumed my work, with more ardor than ever. Rising in the heavens like a great golden ball, was a planet of historical significance, and true were the indications, for, as the celestial body became clearer and clearer, I was able to discern many of the former history sharks of Commerce. I learned that they had gathered together for the purpose of compiling a chronological history of the world from the earliest records to the present. This group was composed of Martha Abrahamson, Mildred Bartlet, Harold Bertel, Anna Cohen, George Corbett, Joseph Fortier, Phillip Freidman, Jacob Goldstein, Edward Keturakis, Morris Kline, Ralph Hogh and Sarah Johnson. This group decided that when they had finished the book they would dedicate it to the 25-B Class. My eyes were attracted in another direction to a soft, glowing planet, which seemed to emit rays of harmonious color which foretold the mellow tones of an orchestra under the direction of Ruth Sheir. Playing their violins with perfect tech- nique were Anna Milefsky, Alice Moardian and Esther Bindman. At the piano sat Mildred Kelly with her assistants Alice Donnelly and Alice Ekbloom. The other members of the orchestra were Edwin Carlson, Morris Robbins, Frieda Goodman, and Gertrude Jaffee. Assisting this orchestra was a most pleasing combined chorus. Occupyn ing prominent places were Mabel Carlson, Alice Fohlin, Dorothy Arnold, Ethel Burns, Pauline Sadick, Mary and Elizabeth Shea, Thyra Swenson, Katherine Sweeney and Ruth Lindberg. Because of its. many engagements, a recording secretary was needed and this position was filled by Catherine McManus. Its efficient road manager was Leonard Mulcahy. The boys who carried the music from city to city were Richard Odlum and Richard Regan. The owner of the club had found it necessary to employ a man to pick up any stray music which the faithful Richards had dropped by the roadside. This position was filled satisfactorily by Philip Trover, Jr. There seemed to be one planet which stood a little apart from the others and which seemed to throw forth a brighter light. The great man of astrology informed me that at last the ambitions of Hazel Cosgrove would be realized, because by the position of this star he had been able to foretell that she would be the first mayoress E491 High School of Commerce of the City of VVorcester. Under her supervision, at the head of many of the committees, were a great many former Commerce boys. Clement Lawrence held the very important office of Secretary of the Mayoress, and because of the ability to master so many various subjects we were certain that he would be capable of per- forming the many duties which belong to the Secretary to the Mayoress of the Commonwealth. Clarence Leonard was at the head of the Department of Labor Bl lndustry, and as he had always been so industrious in school that he knew everything to be known regarding this department, it is not probable that a better head could be chosen. The Department of Education had for its very efficient Superintendent Raymond Kingsbury. They say that, Time alone will tell, and indeed it seemed to prove true in 'this case for few of us ever expected Raymond would become interested in developing education any further than it had already been developed. It did not seem at all surprising to find Oscar Hagberg at the head of the Health Department because we all remember how careful he was to always sterilize his ear tubes before he took dictaphone work. Holding the position of Inspector of Highways was Saul Friedman, and as there are very few duties to this office we knew that Saul would never complain. The Banking and Insurance Department was well managed by Walter H. Carlson. Because of the extended course which he had taken at B. U. he was able to fulfill this ofhce. The position of auditor was held by James Kearny, and, as you know, it is the duty of the auditor to approve all demands for payments made against the City. You will recollect the sermons on economy which James poured into our ears at every class meeting, and you cannot: help but rest assured of the fact that none of the govern- mentls money will be wasted. Another large planet threw forth a bright twinkling light. This signified a great theatre which was to be built on Broadway. Behind the footlights of this theatre would appear such stars as Roy Adams, Frieda Davis, William Levenson, John Murphy, Wilhelmena Buma, Eleanor Hammer, Eva George, Clarence Josephs, William Loughlan and Vincent Scanlon. My attention was next called to three stars which threw forth a soft soothing light. These stars designated that Raymond Witt, Sanvurn Patterson and Samuel Rosenfeld had found something on which to bestow their tender and sympathetic feelings. They had established an animal rescue league. Assisting them in caring for poor but worthy animals were Lydia Valva, Harriet Towne and Julianna Ogg. By this time I was thoroughly tired out and was only too glad to sit and let Messer McClure tell me what the other stars and planets signified. Through the means of one of the planets which appeared in the constellation, he had been able to foresee the formation of a tennis team. This team composed of Irene McLeod, Lillian Perkins, David Olson, Katherine M. Feelon, Victoria Porter, Fred Seeton and John Reidy had made many attempts to enter a tennis tournament but had never succeeded. A group of six stars had revealed to Messer McClure a society of the future whose most important members were Wilma Wittig, Emily Witkige, Maria Power, Mildred Streeter, Maybelle Rydberg and Girda Rydman. This society stood for the absolute and complete rights of single women. It shunned all married women and every E501 High School of Commerce day at 2.30 sharp Wilma Wittig gave a long talk in regard to the very great ability of women and the absolute helplessness of men. A short distance from this group of stars was another group of six stars. These stars also foretold of a club which was to be formed. This club differed in every way from the first club. The members of this club were Arlene Searles, Margaret Prendeville, Katherine C. Phelan, Leona Snyder, Eva Rosen, Vera Spaondberg. A star which proved to be quite interesting was one which told that five great painless women dentists would be practicing dentistry in the city. The women dentists proved to be Sarah Baumgarten, Florence Carlson, Kathleen Connors, Eliza- beth Deedy, and Lillian Caplan. Messer McClure told me that one extremely bright star had revealed to him a very large clothing shop. This shop was noted for having the very latest styles. Two buyers, who turned out to be Anna Evans and Etta Rasmussen, will go to Paris twice a year and bring back many of the newest ideas in regard to the making of clothes. Due to the efficient dressmaking of Samia Haapala, Mabel Jeppson and Myrtle Howard, the firm soon attained the reputation of having the best made dresses in the state. One of the most features in the store is to be the living models, Florence Weeks, Margarite Langevin, Anna Domblatt, Aurora Loisille and Lillian Katz. All accounts of business were very satisfactorily kept by Winifred Webber and Edna Hines. Ebba Johnson, Demeriuse Mallet, Ebba Hamerstein and Loretta Haines will prove themselves worthy of being classed as first class saleswomen. Another group of stars which threw forth a calm, soft and steady light. Messer McClure told me that these stars represented Mary Solomon, Etta Rasmussen, Tillie Burwick, Doris Byron, Ethel Sivert, Myrtle Smith, Anna Alishansky and Alice Eskendaren. These stars foretold that as we had always known these girls for their serene, calm manner so also would this manner prevail throughout their whole lives. After my rest I asked Messer McClure if I might again look through the telescope. This time two planets came into focus. One of the planets was much smaller than the other, and determining to save the larger one for the last I asked him what the smaller one signified. He informed me that this planet represented Francis McCann, Morris Hurwitz and Albert Maykel. These boys had established an automobile firm and were endeavoring to make an automobile which would be even more popular than the Ford. I waited eagerly for his explanation of the last planet, which seemed to throw forth four rays of the purest white light. Messer McClure told me that these rays of light represented Evelyn Dumas, Germaine LaVigne, Eleanor Barrett and Mabel Gustafson, the only four girls in the 25-B class who had found someone for whom they were willing to give up their maiden names. At last I had seen everything which the constellation could prophesy about our class and I felt that I could start home with my mind well at ease, knowing that it would be impossible to have foretold more about their future lives. I thanked lVIesser McClure, and as I walked down the long road which lead to the station, I turned once again to marvel at this great constellation, and felt very proud of the fact that it was a member of our class who had discovered it. l51J High Srlmnl of C:UlllIIll'7'l't' GRACE FRANCES ABRAIIANI Tim little 'wc lmfruf known is a tantalizing sample. Gracie has never given us much of her company, but perhaps her presence is demanded elsewhere. Lessons never bothered Gracie too much and this ac- counts for her easy and happy-go-lucky nature. Gracie's hearty laughter is her calling card wherever she goes, and we hope it will be her greatest asset in her way to success. As far as we know Gracie finds the greatest of pleasure in eating jelly-beans. lNlARTHA SUPHIA ABRAIIAMSON 1'llrrry as the day ix long. Martha of the sunny hair and blue eyes has been a source of real joy to all her friends. Martha has not been with us all the four years, as she came to us from the Millbury High School in her sophomore year. She came to us a little shy, but gradually she made many friends among boys and girls. Always smiling, she has a good word for every one, which accounts for her increased popularity. Her natural cheerfulness will help her in all her future undertakings. IELMER LEROY ADAMS Of frirml: lm 11111 many. Roy is one of our popular boys, especially among the fair sex and more so since the art of photography came into vogue. He seems to have many different moods for he goes about with a look of deep concern tusually before reportsl and other times as if he had not a care. But no matter how he looks we can always depend on Roy to cheer us up and shoo away our blues.

Singing is her hobby as she has a wonderful voice, although she never joined the Glee Club-I don't understand why. Her ready wit and keen sense of humor make her a desirable companion. Her charming personality will help her in all future undertakings as it has helped her in her four years at Commerce. Britomart.

Mildred has been with us for only three years and Com- merce has missed one year of her pleasant company. The time that she spent here with us has passed altogether too quickly for her newly made friends. Being a very busy girl, she did not have much chance to take part in any of the school activities, although we know she is capable of doing well in anything she undertakes. Mildred was quite a history shark, as Mr. Dickey will tell you, and earned her A faithfully. Her charming personality has made her many friends and will help her in every undertaking of the future.

She won the admiration of both teachers and classmates by never going to class without her lessons well prepared. VVith these qualities to her credit we can only expect the very best from. this student, and the good wishes of the class will go with her as she furthers her education at New York University.

If you don't know her by name, you know her by sight. Of course you do, that tall, slim girl who sits in Room 3. There, I knew you did.

Evidently she is in love -with music, for she has already selected it as her profession. Freda is an ac- complished pianist and has favored the Britomart with a score of well received selections.

However, she has made many friends among the faculty and pupils, who all join in wishing her the best of success at Herrick's Business Institute, where she is contemplating to further her education.

Well, every foot- ball player in the four High Schools does, because he was quarterback on our football team and used brains as well as brawn. John made quite a hit in Astronomy last year, and will probably use his knowledge of stars, heavenly and otherwise to good advantage. Dame Fortune cannot be unkind to the likes of john.

Harriet, the dainty Miss, has been a rather quiet girl during her four years with us, but it hardly seems that she is the same person when at some social event outside of school.

Four years ago Mary or Gertrude as we all know her, came to the High School of Commerce from Grafton Street School. Many Commerce students who have gone into Stevens' Confectionery Store have had this charming lady at their service. Although we were warm and uncomfort- able, she was as cool and calm as a cucumber. We very seldom saw her walking in the corridors or to and from school without her chum Lydia. VVe do not know what Gertrude intends to do after leaving Commerce, but we know she will be successful in the work she chooses. DOROTHY FRANCES LEE J quiet and fwinsome maiden it she. Dorothy is a girl anyone would be pleased to meet. There is a certain quiet charm about her which has made steadfast friends of those who have been closely associated with her in school. She has a pleasant word and a sunny smile and has none but friends among her classmates. Her beautiful black, wavy hair has been the envy of many of her less fortunate sisters. VVhether she continues her studies or enters the business world, we are sure she will succeed.

The position she held was both honorary and difhcult, for it was her duty to be familiar with the student body. But our Minna lived up to her job for she immediately made a friend of every member.

If during recess in Room 10, you wondered where the constant buzzing came from, you had only to find Peggy and you would have the source of all the talking. Because of Peggy's enter- taining manner, she has gained many friends. The Class of 1925-B wishes you luck, Peggy. SANFORD LOUIS PRICE Phat's happy disposition and ever-smiling face has won him many friends, especially with the young ladies of the school. He is a fellow who never worries over his studies, but nevertheless he always gets good marks. Phat is a great football player and has played a great game at guard for the past two seasons.
