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.

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.

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
