We appreciate the interest your presence here shows, and hope you Won't be dis- appointed, in this, our last effort We welcome in especial manner the parents who have worked to send us to high school: who have encouraged and helped us through these years. ' As we near the end of our High School course we realize more fully what these four years have meant to us and to' those who have sacrificed that we might have the privilege of being here. NVe have a very yvarm place in our hearts for the school which has minis- tered so well to our minds and to our bodies and without in anyway hampering our social activities. We shall go from Commerce as from a friend and well wisher who is interested in us and desires our success. As representative of the class of 1929-A I wish to express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Andrews whose friendly interests in us as individuals and eveready helpfullness has made our school seem like a home, to the teachers who have labored in our behalf, to our parents who have made our attendance here possible. Finally we know how much our education has benefited us and we shall let it continue to do so in years to come by striving to keep ever before us, along with the memories of these days, our class motto: IN MEDIAS RES. 18 10 e Y t X - Qlllass .Sung Words by John Snow Music by Alice E. Erickson Harry Winthrop Beach, Jr. The course is run, the race is won: Our hearts, still strong for battle's fray, 1 Still eager to pursue their way To broader fields of work and play, Beat joyously, contentedly. CHORUS Commerce, Commerce, School of ours! Stouter hearts ne'er spent their hours In thy halls. Sincerely we Test the strength begot of thee, Nurtured by our teachers true, Prove thy spirit through and through. Our happiness will stand the stress Of years and make thee glad to own Our memories. We are no drones, But all are toilers strong, once known As one, we part, still bound in heart. CHORUS Class Motto Class Colors In Medias Res Orange and White 19 X..raiwillZliiwiiliililiiflifilfillHliiwllllllllisl Glass ibistnrp, 192929 Doius SEIBOLD S I sat idly turning the dials of my radio I was suddenly wakened to supreme consciousness when I heard the words, A unique and attractive program will presently be offered from station VVI-ISC, Worcester, Mass., relayed from four different stations: namely, F-R-E-S-H-IVI-AN. S-O-P-H-0-M-O-R-IS, -I-U-N-I-O-R, S-IS-N-I-O-R. The words seemed to strike a responsive Cord in my memory. How long had it been since I was at the school on the hill ? Exactly ten years had passed and now my memory was to be refreshed concerning the events of my high school years. I tried hard to remember all that had happenedg could it be possible I could have forgotten so much in such a short time. I bent forward in a more attentive attitude so that I would be able to hear each word that was said. I knew this program would be one that would be an extreme pleasure and probably :nome- thing that would happen only once in a lifetime, Station F-R-E-S-H-M-A-N at Worcester, Mass., High School of Commerce will now present an attractive program concerning the class of 1929-A, came the announce-r's voice. My heart quivered and I was all a tremble as I now remembered l had been on my first day in school. A voice smote upon my ear, One bright january morning I4 years ago at about 12:30 a long line of slowly moving children Cyes, we were but children in those days,J gathered around the front of Commerce High School. The look on their faces was one of concern and mute surprise. Some were in groups, while others less fortunate were all alone and looking as if they had lost their last friend. Finally someone with greater fortitude or was it merely curiousity led the way through the portals which looked so big and overwhelming. Then a wild scrambling ensued in trying to find the assembly hall which these homeless souls felt would at least be a safe haven until further misery was piled upon them. How clear the picture was portraying our feelings and how glad I was to have the opportunity of listening to something like this. The hopeless feeling continued during the time in the assembly, and later home rooms were assigned and the real business of the day was at hand. Some of our worthy freshman wanted to walk across the assembly hall on air but finally found it would be better to go around by the corridor. 20 Y - g The first day was done and many others ensued. According to the usual custom the freshmen were left much to themselves. The musical standard of the class was well established, however, when Alice Erickson entered the orchestra and started her meteoric career. The very first class election was held and the first choice of the class was President, Winthrop Beachg Vice-President, Alice Erickson. Time flew by very swiftly. ln April, much to the gratificaticn of the class, three l929-A boys helped to bring victory to Commerce in an indoor track meet. Ranchy John Ranchynoskiiat that time started his brilliant career and John Snow and Ray Guilmette aided him. The second recognition that was given the class of 1929-A was when Margiieritc Ludden and Ethel Sheir were allowed to speak on the stage during the llflemorial Day program. When the first class day was held a slight misunderstanding concerning class colors brought the Freshmen to the Fairgrounds decked in resplendant red and white, the Senior colors. The lower classmen felt extremely proud to have put something over but before the day was done they felt wilted and much distressed because of the many withering glances they had received from the upper classmen. However the day was one never to be forgotten despite the unfortunate color mixup. The summer vacation proved to be a very welcome one but the return to school was keenly anticipated. lfVith some rounds of good time and occasional hard study the first year of the l929-A class .was brought to a close. Station F-R-E-S-H-M-A-N signing off at 5 P. M., January, 1926. lfVe hope you have enjoyed the program and we shall now retire in favor of station S-O-P-H -O- M-O-R-E. I awoke as one in a day-dream and stared around the room. Where was l? Oh yes, right in my own home and not a freshman at Commerce as it had seemed for the last few minutes. The incidents just related had been so real that I could hardly believe it was so long since I had been a happy, carefree child in school. 'fstation S-O-P-H-O-M-O-R-E broadcasting from 9:00 A.

Yes, much to the concern of some but to the joy of the few lazy individuals whom the class of l929-A included the sophomore session was held from 9 until 2. How the first few weeks the pupils starved for want of food at about 12:00, their lunch hour, during the preceding year can easily be imagined. The exciting times in the locker rooms after seventh period made up for anything which had been missed. lt became a general principle to serve afternoon tea fthat is, sandwiches, cakes, cookies or anything some kind mother would furnishj . The time came for a second class election and by this time the class felt 21 . -M. - .gzexe YC,- ! ,, Y T 4 e -g V ,,.4 .. Y.. ,.

Then lo and behold what is the class promised but a new annex! Not only a new annex but elvators to go with it. This probably was being done to do away with the long-ago obsolete joke about the freshmen looking for elevators. Now it would not be a joke on the freshmen, but the cause of the upperclassmen thinking of a new joke. That spring the most notable event of the year took place, that is, as far as the girls were concerned. For the first time in the historylof Commerce High School a girls' baseball team was formed including among its members Helen Crosby Captain, Della Coyle, Gertrude Gundersen, Betty Harney, Mildred O'Grady, Queenie Olson and Doris Seibold of 1929-A. This was not a team in name only for the girls settled down to hard work and really played baseball. To have a ball thrown into Beaver Brook twice, to have it hit the catcher in the eye, to have the batter swing wildly three times and then bc out, were common occurrences at the first game of the season. But when the practice was over, the best, maybe, because it was the only baseball team wholly composed of girls, made record plays. The walk home after one of these games however is not to be spoken about for it almost was so very slow and tedious. Even with the gay times most of the class stuck to their studies and the honor list contained many names from the class of 1929-A. At this time Morris Rosenbaum was the only member from the class of 1929-A to join the band. A second class day was held which was well attended by the class. 'Ranchy' did his best for Commerce and was the means of winning many points. The long looked for vacation finally became a reality and the 1929-A boys and girls went their different ways to seek enjoyment. In September the time came when the class was permitted to go to school from 8:15 until 1:00 and then they really considered themselves full-fledged members of the school that was becoming their best friend. Study was the issue of the day for soon the members of the class were to be juniors. However many of the students who had previously kept much to themselves entered with zest into other school activities and the versatility of the class began to be noticed. There was a slight pause and then-Station S-O-P-H-O-M-O-R-E signing off at 1 :OO P. M., January, 1927, giving place to station J-U-N-I-O-R. 1 wanted to stop and think over all that had been called to my mind but I was interrupted and bent forward to listen again. Station J-U-N-I-O-R broadcasting from January, 1927 until January, l928. The voice seemed older to me. Could it be possible? No doubt it was for we 22 - ffflexxg p . - xxx, 3 'WTP jTT - '5 'i l iill li ' il Us IEW .'g ' .....j.q?pr2?-kj-:1.f: 5' must have grown older as the years went by. And as a man was announcing, this fact did not surprise me a bit for I remembered well how some of the unfortunate fellows were in for their bit of razzing when their voices played them false. But harkl HThis year started off enthusiastically for the pupils began to realize that the school days are the happiest days. Basketball was the sport before everyone's eye at the moment and 'Eppie' Epstein of 1929-A proyed his mettle by helping to bring victory to the boys of Commerce. The class officers were Benjamin Champagne, Gertrude Gundersen, Alice Erick- son and Paul Gilrein. Plans were made for a Junior-Senior Prom which was held in the early spring and those of the 1929-A class who attended enjoyed themselves to the limit. Mildred Benson, Margaret Parrella and Mae Sennot had the distinction of being Horace Mann pupils and the only students of 1929-A who attained this high academic honor. A third class day was held at the new athletic field. With the aid of the ever ready Ranchy and many others not of the class of 1929-A Commerce was the winner of this day's games. Vacation time 'again rolled around and this year many of the pupils instead of playing the time away secured positions and worked most of the summer. In the fall the games started off witb a bang and Commerce with the aid of several boys from the' 1929-A class helped to win championships in cross-country and football. , After the time for out-door sports was past, the next big event on the social calendar of the school was the Junior-Senior debate. It was a glorious riotous success for the decision was unanimously in favor of the Junior team whose 1929-A representa- tives were Mae Sennott and Doris Seibold. The first production of the Blackfriar's play in which the 1929-A class took part was given with Helen Strickland, Mae and Eleanor Sennott, Benjamin Cham-- pagne and Pauline Kuninf' A slight pause and then- Station J-U-N-I-O-R signing off at l :OO P. M., Jan- uary, l928. A buzzing noise came over the radio and I sat up in mortal fear that something would happen so that I would be unable to hear the rest of the program but a voice grown mature and more confident broke the silence. Station S-E-N-I-O-R broadcasting from 8:00 A. M. January, 1928 until January, 1929. Things started off with a great rush and the Britomart officers were quite widely selected from the 1929-A group, including Ama Lewis, Evelyn St. Onge and Doris Seibold. Basketball was the sport of the day and 'Eppie' established himself forever 23 ,t .age fi, ,.f W ff... ,Q iilllllml-'2iQ llllartmlillizllmialzlllillilildili ,...small'limiSillilfilal-iillltllwilllifllw tif in the minds of the class of 1929-A and of the entire school when Commerce won not only the city championship but the county one also. This year it was decided to let the girls talk themselves out so a verbal clash was staged between the former victorious Junior team, now illustrious Seniors, and the Sophomores. The result was one more triumph for the class of 1929-A. ln February an excellent musical performance was staged in form of an opera under the name of the Two Vagabondsf' with the class represented hy Winthrop Beach, Benjamin Champagne and lVIorris Rosenbaum. By this time the girls had talked so much that the boys felt they should be silenced by entering into a debate with them. However the joke was on the boys when the girls walked off with the victory and were able to call themselves the Varsity team. The Horace lVIann list held three names from the class of 1929-A, Mildred Benson, Gladys Nelson and Mae Sennott, while the honor role contained many names. Finally the last and most beloved class games of all came around June, 1928. The Senior class were out to do their best. lVIany groups enjoyed themselves im- mensely and furnished a good laugh for the others. A typical scene was old 'Dobbinl hitched to the 'shay' down on lyiain Street absolutely uneducated to these new fangled traffic lights or was he color blind? Dobbin stopped for no one or nothing, that is, except when he wanted to stop. The result was at about the middle of the game a poor bedraggled group entered the field. The girls dressed in accordance with the vehicle made a weird picture. Dob- bin stayed with some impatience during the games for he scented rain and sure enough the poor horse received a wetting before he was safe at home. To speak of the occupants would not be fitting in a program which is to filled with the pleasant things of life. It is sufficient to my that they were ALL VVET. The boys of the class of 1929-A headed by 'Ranchy' helped to make the day a success for Commerce. This spring Commerce with the aid of four boys from 1929-A 'Ranchyf 'Eppief Leo Forgues and Jerry Puncell captured the baseball title which later had to given up because of the average of the other members. According to the usual custom the Mercury Staff was chosen from the class oi I929-A and Jean Watson was made Editor-in-Chief. The last vacation passed and during this time most of the pupils were employed in different offices and stores of the city. All that had happened was certainly being impressed upon my mind. I leaned back in my chair and heaved a sigh of happiness and complete content. The class for its final year of pleasure and study was led by Benjamin Cham- pagne. Gertrude Gundersen was still vice-president, and Alice Erickson was secretary, but due to the graduation of Paul Gilrein in three and a half years, the class was without a treasurer. This vacancy was later filled by Ray Guilmette. 24 ,Q Oi A V7 il '?

They were Mae Sennott, Eleanor Sennott, Evelyn St. Onge and Doris Seibold. Britomart was led by Mildred O'Grady and Ethel Sheir of the class of 1929-A. The Blackfrairs claimed Ray Guilmette, Helen Strickland and Pauline Kunin as ofiicersp The Senior debating team was represented by only one member of the class. Doris Seibold. The band could boast of VVinthrop Beach, Joseph Poleski and lVIorris Rosen- baum. Orchestra A with Alice Erickson actingias Concert lylaster had Rosemary Doherty, Winthrop Beach, Louis lVlorrell and Morris Rosebaum. i'The not over athletic class was represented in Hockey by Barbara Calfain and Zaroohe Annusbigian. As a result of the boys winning championships in football and cross-country Commerce won ten championships in a row. This thing has never been done before in Worcester and those who had formerly overlooked Commerce when it came to sports were forced to relinquish title after title and acknowledge her supreme. The first real rush of graduation came when the president appointed the students, yes students now, children no longer, to the class duties. Time had a way of slipping 'by as time always will, and the cast for the annual production of the Blackfrairs was chosen. Helen Strickland was chosen to take the leading role with Mae Sennott, Benjamin Champagne, John Snow, Mae Moynihan. Pauline Kunin, Leo Forgues and Gertrude Gundersen. The excitement of graduation seemed to be reaching its height when class day speakers were chosen and a banquet and prom at the Bancroft loomed ahead. For the first time in many years a dance was held in Hildredth Hall sponsered by the Britomart and Assembly with Miss Carrigan acting as chaperone. Then the event of the year took place, fKid Day'. The dignified Seniors for one day forgot their years and came to school dressed as they had several years before carrying dolls and teddy-bears. - Finally the first real parting came when some of the boys and girls were off to work. I have a telegram here which I think will be of great interest to my listeners. lt reads: 'This program had been one of much interest to myself and my family and I wish to thank the sponsers. The record of the class of 1929-A which I have been listening to could never have been made had it not been for the kind guidance of our Principal, Mr. Andrews, the members of the faculty, and our parents.' l' Qsignedj Benjamin Champagne, President of the class of l929-A.

We set the example for many peoples. But nowhere in the world are we looked to for guidance more than in the countries south of the Rio Grande. These countries in the past have looked to Washing- ton with implicit faith, knowing that our President would treat them fairly. In the past few years, however, a goodly portion of the inhabitants of our sister republics have come to think that our au.thorities in VVashington have been treating them un- justly. This consensus of opinion has reached the ears of some of the ablest statesmen in the United States. These and other men have attempted to analyze the situation and findout just what the trouble is. As a people we are distrusted and disliked by the Spanish-Americans with an intensity never before equalled among them. lt is diflicult for a stay-at-home Am- erican to imagine the furor that was caused throughout Latin-American by the United States sending Marines to Nicaragua to support the Diaz regime. Masses of the people led by politicians and agitators met in huge crowds in the streets and public places, and shouted themselves hoarse in hatred of the Great Colossus of the North. Posters in large numbers appeared on the walls of buildings in Buenos Aires and other Latin-American cities. calling upon the people to awaken and defend their en- dangered liberties against the encroaching power to the north of them. For weeks the chief theme of cartoonists was an Uncle Sam , now pictured as an assassin. and again as a slave driver with his whip. lVhen an American remarked by way of explanation, that the anti-imperialists in Latin-America would probably get better co-operation from the Liberals of the United States if they did not classify all North Americans as rank imperialists, but recognized that a large minority if not a majority of the American people did not approve of the Nicaraguan policy of our govemnment, a young university professor exclaimed in ire, The Liberals of the United States! They count for nothing even in their own country. VVe must look to ourselves for defense and form no alliances with our enemies l 'lihere was a time when practically all Latin-America looked upon La Gran Republica del Norte as their guide and protector. lt was after 1900 that their title 26 ,1OfXg - -x - I7 . ..., i , . Q lg 'M 3- 5 iii 5:35 ' M' 535.367 for us began to change to the Colossus of the North , and it is since then that their politicians have faced toward Europe instead of Northward. What caused this change of front? Why are we now distrusted as cordially as once we were admired and imitated? The causes of this growing distrust are, I think, of several kinds. In the first place our history is against us. The Latin-American school children know a great deal more than ours about our early policies regarding Cuba and Mexico. Their history textbooks do not neglect, as ours do, the Walker plot to annex Cuba or the political machinations which precipitated the Mexican War. But it was our invasion of Cuba and the Spanish-American war which finally turned the cards against us. Up to that time Spain had been regarded with distrust, often with hatred, by Spanish-American leaders. But with the war one of those ironical events in history happened. Spain, the loser, was glorified as we, the con- querors, became the heritors of the distrust formerly heaped upon Spain. Blood counts, and their former disagreements with Spain were looked upon as in the nature of family quarrels, while we became confirmed in their eyes as an imperialistic nation, exploiting a people of their own blood, religion, and culture for the sake of world empire. Today the Spanish reconquest of Latin-American public opinion is almost complete. Every movement of the Spanish court, and every policy of Spains' government are detailed in their leading newspapers with almost as much fullness as we give to our own governmental affairs. Spanish books and journals are as common as their own. But it is our recent history and policies which have done most to deepen their distrust of our motives. The South Americans, watching our behavior in Panama, Haiti, Santo Domingo and Nicaragua wanted to know what we were up tog we said little or nothing and that evasively. This caused them to believe that our motives would not bear candid explanation. South Amercian publicists believe that imperialistic conquest by our North American capitalists is backed by our government. Bolivia , said an outstanding Bolivian government official, has become practically a North American province, so far as money is concerned. Almost all Bolivian industry is under the American bankers' thumb. He felt that the same thing was true. of Chile and Peru. His statements, whether or not correct, show what South America thinks and fears. Another marked cause of the Latin-Americans' distrust and dislike of us is their ignorance regarding us. The few who visit the United States stop at New York and do not tarry long enough to understand us. They see our very obvious mis- representations of themselves in our movies and newspapers, and resent them. They naturally are doubtful of our love for veracity and moral integrity after such an introduction. They are as ignorant of us as we are of them, but not any more so. 27 X KHHIHU W!llJ4flf!iJIll'lWl'llIllllillllll!i 1 X,raE?ll.?5?EiilE?EllHl2iliililllllllilliilllllwlilllliillllg if South Americans object to the Monroe Doctrine not, so far as can be seen, because they dislike its fundamental principles but because it is one sided. They wish to share in it, to make it an all-American doctrine. Give them a voice in its administra- tion, and they will feel that their interests are protected. Anglo-Saxon reticence is a quality which the talkative and convivial Latin can not understand. The baffling taciturnity of the Saxons , as they call the English and North Americans, disconcerts them and leads their active minds to all sorts of suspicions. One of our greatest possible diplomatic assets in Latin-America would be to explain carefully to the world every political step we take in-- inter-American affairs. If our government feels that its policies in Central America and elsewhere are obligatory and justified by necessity it would do well to state its reasons meticul- ously. If our government is convinced that the unsettled state andirresponsibility of some of the Latin-American republics are a menace to international peace, let it say so in words not to be mistaken. The Latins are fundamentally a very frankpeople. X If we speak out frankly about our motives, and if the speech has the ring of truth in it, I believe there is little to fear. It is the hidden motives that excite suspicion. Uf course our motives would have to be fair to them. We cannot expect approval if our policy is really one of aggressive imperialism. Perhaps the most important need of all is to get better acquainted. Men of broad cultural interests visit these countries from the United Staes so seldom as to be almost curiosities. But there is a constant interchange of leading scientists and literary men between Europe and South America. The European peoples are more subtle in their diplomacy. Their good will visitors are invariably great scientists, writers and artists, who establish friendly relationship and call forth respect and gratitude. VVith such gentle diplomacy arguments are unnecessarily tactless. Truly, we as a govern- ment have much to learn with respect to the art of getting along with our neighbors. Fortunately, we see our difficulty before it is too late and before Latin-America joins the world in a growing conspiracy of misrepresentation, suspicion and envy. Though our mistakes were great in the past, our policy is improving. It is not what a man is that is of great moment but what he tends to become. It is not the history of a nation alone by which it should be judged but rather by its policies and its tendencies. The United States, though it has made mistakes in the past gives every assurance of intelligent understanding of Latin-American problems in the future. We should give up every semblance of being the domineering, imperial conqueror of the North, aggressive, uncouth, unwelcome neigborg rather we should exchange our commercial and cultural values, by which exchange we shall both gain much riches. We have already started this exchange by sending Hoover by sea, Lindbergh by air and Morrow by land. The latter being a banker, may be well said to have his feet on the ground. And Colonel Lindbergh, The Glorious Kid , endears himself to the hearts of all who see him by his winning smile. Our next president, Mr. Hoover, has made clear to these republics to the south of us the fact that we 28 40 lxs e , f - an 9 ,wr :ju E E ii? recognize them and greet them with our most sincere cordiality, for never before has a President or President-elect of the United States favored these countries with an extended visit. i As our policy improves, in mutual-trust, with confidence and friendship waxing ever stronger as time goes on, the United States will become in the minds of Latin- America the strong and gentle protector, and surely a sister republic which all the nations of this hemisphere must believe to be the guiding power to our mutual manifest destiny. For civilization moves Westward and the great sea that Washes the new orbis terrarum is the-Pacific. If the nations that line the shores of that great sea keep the peace, one cannot imagine to what great levels hu.manity may aspire. lf they do not keep the peace they will ultimately come to the economic and social ravages of war, and go the way of all nations of the past into a justly deserved oblivion. The United States has .a great destiny. So has Latin-America. In a common brotherhood, they can achieve their highest aspirations, and, let us hope that they will, in the memorable words of Baron Saito, walk together arm in arm, down all the corridors of time.

Glass rupbetp, 1929:Q PAULINE KUNIN HEP in the cavern of Cuma- the Uracle did speak and as the voice spake so did l write and these are all the words that the voice did speak of all those things that concern these people of the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty- nineg from this day forward of what shall be to them, in the years and the months and the days, of all that shall befall. These are the words and these the happeningsg hear and re- member from the Oracle whose voice speaks truth now and forever. And speaking the Oracle spoke and said, behold how those maids called Helen Wilkinson, Jan Linich, Clairice Lavene and Helen Oberg shall by their skill and labor open a Smear lt Art Studio and I see upon the walls of their building paintings, frescoes and designs and among all is the motif of the Sardine done in oil. Now there shall rise up one among you who shall go up to a high place, the same is Ray Guilmette, Prime Minister of England, and being of great wisdom he hath upon his cabinet ladies: Dorothy Eskelson, Helen Crosby, Florence Couture, Ruth Cederlund, lrene Alexander and Elsie Aspinall. And there shall be disputes and arguments and in the midst of them that speak there shall stand forth a mighty speaker, aloud speaker verily, and she is Mae Sennott and with her speaking shall be Eleanor of the same tribe, and Doris Siebold all great in thought and in speach alike. And there will come a time when other Oracles shall speak and they will speak over the waves and the name of the greatest of these shall be Joseph Burke broad- casting on a wave length of 580 kilocycles by authority of the Federal Radio Com- mission. Now the Commission saying who may speak and how is composed of Raymond Bullard, Carl Carlson, Louis Gafvert, Glendon Green, Carl Johnson and Algot Ekstrom. And the most famous orchestra of all time shall delight the people and there shall be in that great association Winthrop Beach who shall be concert master and he shall lead Louis lklorrell, Rosemary Doherty, Pauline Sadick, Arna Lewis, Mildred Volungis, Zarooke Anusbigan, lylorris Rosenbaum and Joseph Polleski. And in turn the people shall listen to the voices of Marion Donnelly, Mary Foley, Muriel Fox, Yetta Lowe and Marguerite Ludden, who shall be the most famous, and who shall lead all the rest. 30 LO- tu V V r XXX!

It will also happen that he who is to be so great will help old friends and by his helping ot friends he shall do unto himself no injustice, he shall sign a bill of 236.00 for tickets to the world series in the year 1949. This bill will be presented by the famous Senators, John Snow, Harvey Gordon and Manley Kelly who shall present it before the high one, who will live in the great White House and rule the people. And it will happen that on the day upon which the Oracle predicts, that those in our midst known as, Abraham Palley and Arthur Shack shall become owners in partnership of the institution known as the Hold-Up-School of Correspondence Salesmanshipf' This school shall give to all those who wish to join and learn what may be learned, a six months course which shall beiit any person whosoever shall take the aforesaid course for any turn in the road which from this day on shall be known as a career. And let it be known also that the Oracle has said that it shall be Dorothy Borgeson and Della Coyle who shall discover the new Formula for glue and shall induce lvlildred Benson and Gladys Nelson to make money by sticking around. And it shall also be that Lainer Kusisto shall travel a long distance, which will be to the great city, known as New York, and she shall relieve the Statue of Liberty so that the Statute of Liberty may visit the country and find out how free the country really is. And it will also happen that Leo Forgues shall succeed in publishing his book that shall be known as HThe Grand Canon or What To Do With Used Safety Razor Blades. It will be seen also that he, the author, shall handle this delicate subject in a sharp and clean cut way. The Board of Electors shall consist of Alice Becker, Raymond Farland and Barbara Calfain, the same who will let the book be published by a close shave. And again speaking the Oracle spoke saying: That another in our midst who shall be known by name Grace Largess shall be a prosperous dentist who shall fill the teeth, but lol she shall empty the purses. Now there shall be a great theatre and Francis Swenson's Musical Comedy The Howling Success will feature Queeneze Olson and Mae Phelan and he released on Broadway. Matilda Alterman, Victoria Bundza, Mary Burns, Agnes Canty, Ethel Carlson, Mary Fleming, Mary Kirby, Regina McNamara and Nora McCarthy shall he in charge of all future whispering campaigns because forsoothe in this they are truly gifted. John Mahoney shall be a horse fancier of renown and the most famous of his stud shall be one known as Molasses and his affection for Molasses shall waveriand 31 I 40 ,A ,ff , llillillllmil E TEV he shall lose much money by not racing Molasses. He will remember his great mistake and he shall from then on stick to Molasses. And it shall be, continued the voice, that Eppie Epstein will be a Well known sharp-shooter and spend his days on the banks of Beaver Brook and fish for a drag . And it will also be that Maurice Barr shall find what no one else ever could find, a stamp bearing the date 2000 B.C. lt will also be known that the Moynihan Express Co., ownedfby Mae Moynihan and operated by Deb. Moynihan shall go into bankruptcy due to the fact that it will never run on schedule, but it shall come to pass that the Moynihan Express Co. shall become affiliated with the Maki Express Company and it will be that Mary Maki shall do this for the purpose of lending a good name because her trains shall ever be on time. And so be it, the Oracle continued, Rose Boris shall write a precious book which will be found only in the library of Marjorie Bloom which she will own, accumulating it bit by bit. Herman Dumas is destined to open a Bureau for the managing of other peoples affairsg to him shall come, Marion Eisentraut, Elizabeth Harney, Alice Hill, Ethel Elfstrom and Minnie Hurwitz, all eager to have their affairs managed by so expert a manager. Irving Slovin shall lose the greatest match of his so-called career which will be due to the fact that he shall be subject to sleeping sickness. He will voice his opinion, and speaking shall say that his managers, Wilbur Heath and Carl Hermans did induce him to breathe in through his nose a substance which will be known as ether. The voice of the Oracle continues in dispair: Marcus Abelson shall disappear, but it will so be that Broatmans Detective Agency will send detectives Edward Brodsky, joseph Chesnis, Robert Cohen and Arnold Lazarus on his trail. But it will be known that these sleuths shall need the aid of a 'powerful magnifying glass manufactured by Emily Cooper Co. and these glasses shall be guaranteed to spot small things at first sight. But it shall be that Abelson shall be found for it will be necessary, yea, verily, for he shall be a judge at the Olympic Games, where famous ones, Jerry Purcell. Ranchy and Moroski will be listed among the participants. Therefore it will be necessary for Chief of Police James Telleir and Major Gerald Trumbull to ask of Jean Watson and Sam Yoffe co-editors of the Spotter to publish a description of the missing one. And it shall be necessary to call upon the rival detective agency which will be run by Eugenia Kaminski and the whole force will include Ray Jaffe, Edla Koski, Aldora Kounas, Anna Zakarian, Marguerite Lucier, Florence Manasses, Marjorie Murphy. and they all shall be turned loose upon the city and they shall come upon Abelson drinking tea at the Helen Thompson Tea Shoppe and he will be flirting with all of the waitresses. who will be Mildred R2 ,-,EOR as f 1 , I tI1 '.1if' vw' 1' ' 2'1 i I '?4' P! f5f ! !

Among other things the voice in speaking said, it shall be brought to light, a history of Ernest Oberg, which shall be written by Hilding Peterson and it shall rest among the books of famous people. Then the time will come when there shall be seen in the bright lights of a theatre a play written by Jeannette Lapides, which will be Where Commerce Lights Are Shining , which will star Helen Strickland who shall be assisted by Phyllis Wynn, with Amy Taylor as Press Manager. Nor is this the only place where Commerce lights shall shine for the voice of a loved one in our group, Julia Raftery, will be heard over the radio broadcasting daily. And also over the air we shall hear Evelyn Persons, Zahae Peters, Sylvia Polonsky, Pauline Price and Helen Wicklund who shall be taking part in the lVIarathon talking contest. Evelyn St. Onge shall also talk without being seen, for it will fall unto her to tell of Ida Shapiro, Ethel Sheir, Jeannette Sack, Julia Siegel, Natalie Remmer and Anna Rittenberg, these six girls who while touring Europe shall travel to Italy and try and find the spot where Aeneas made his memorable flight into Hades. And moreover Mildred Smith shall be admitted to Congress and it will come to pass that she must speak, but her voice shall be so soothing that other members of Congress, by name Ruth Small, Mary Smith, and Helen Petro, shall catch up on lost sleep and shall sleep throughout her speech. Pignataro shall be a professor of Ornithology and talk on Domestic Birds and for illustrative material he shall find Isabell Ryan, Anna Schwartz, Bernice Sheldrup and Anna Simisky of great value. And moreover Gert Gundersen will wear around her lovely throat her favorite little revolver until one day shall come a tall dark hero, brave and bold. enough to disarm her and take her for his own, so saith the Voice. And another one in our midst shall rise up and become famous and this shall be Mildred O'Grady who shall be well known as Judge of the Probate Court and no will shall be valid unless her signature well written on it. And again a marvelous thing will come over the land, for the American people will become aesthetic and great artists shall appear and there will be one greater than all, lovelier than all, and far up against the night sky of a great city her name shall gleam and the hearts of all people shall glow, for she shall make them to weep and make them to laugh and the sound of her bow shall be as the song of many waters and wind in the trees and of the moaning of the sea and behold, her fame shall be great whose name is written and the same is Alice Erickson. And so the Voice ended and it spoke no more save but for one sacred word and I did ask for the Word and I asked, How shall it be with all thesel' and as the Voice receded I prayed for this word and from the depths of the cavern came the word and the word was-UI-Iappy . 33 A ,,QQ...M- A ---ff -'E O .i Wr- 'W - . ,pf -,Q . .,..

Miscellaneous Bequests 51,000 to furnish the corridors of the new addition, if finished within the next ten years, with plenty of mirrors so the fair sex won't wear out the glass in the bookcases.

This eventful day marks the climax for which we have striven and earnestly hoped the past four years. Although we have eagerly anticipated the coming of Com- mencement time, now that it is here and we are about to experience the fulfillment of cherished hopes, we are conscious 7 of a deep sense of regret, for we must leave these familiar places that have become a part of us during our stay here. We must bid goodby to the teachers with whom we have become acquainted, to the undergraduates with whom we have formed close friendships. Now We must terminate our passage at Commerce and carry away pleasant mem- ories, feeling that we have been adequately prepared for the problems we are to encounter. This is our last meeting together Within the walls of Commerce as members of this school. We are deeply appreciative of the watchful care of Mr. Andrews, of the expert instruction received of the faculty, and of the cordial relations that have existed among all of us. Nor are we unmindful of a deep sense of gratitude to our parents and members of our families, who have sacrificed for us that we might see this day. I am sure they share the happiness of this occasion with us. So, on behalf of my classmates, I extend to you parents, and friends, a most sincere and hearty welcome to our Class Day exercises. May our memories of this event be cherished through our lives and help to recall the four pleasant years we spent here during our happy days. 41 -, e Cevx , i e M11 'ua-Manlm'rmau1iisf4mium! lrgjr ' 3Ilwmlmnsnusmmsluszarsmpml at Qlllass Sung, 192938 Words by Irene Huntley Music by The trumpets blare, the banners Hy, Arouse ye Guards, throw wide the gate, For on this day we sally forth To meet the promise of our Fate.

All are anxiously looking forward to what the next four years may hold in store for them. Scene II This scene shifts to any corridor in the school. Smiling groups are seen reading their Mercury s finding their first class oHicers are Reginald Noxon, Presidentg Dorothy Mooney, Vice President, Anna Adams, Secretaryg and Raymond Bartlett, Treasurer. Scene III Q Shows fascination, horror and surprise registered on all faces fexcept that of John Reidy, who's asleepl the first time the skeleton is brought in to the Physiology classroom. Irving French assists by comforting the frightened girls-a scene Well remembered by most of us. Scene IV In a hall not unlike this one, a spirited debate has just taken place between the Freshmen girls and the Sophomores. To know the decision of the judges we have only to look upon the happy faces of Shirley Pickerstein, Helen Maxwell and Blanche Lalanne. 43 X, xx- i HlilllllliiiilzliillUllliiiiilililllllilililiiilllllllllillfllmfi. uA.mewilliiiimifiililllllilllillllllllillliliWllllllllHIE 1.1 I SceneV A rare day in june-suddenly a bell is heard. Immediately a rush for the doors is begun. The shortest ten weeks of the year. Vacation! Many sigh, What a busy year, so glad it's over. ACT II Scene I CTwo months laterj The same groups of 1929-B's are seen ascending the now familiar stairs. They feel quite grown up to be at last in the morning division. Indeed, if shorter dresses and wider trousers mean growth--they certainly have grown. Scene II Features Harold Fowler and Raymond Varney receiving congratulations on their recent election as President and Treasurer respectively. Dorothy Mooney, Vice Presi- dent, and Helen Maxwell, Secretary, two favorite executives, are being congratulated in the real feminine manner. Scene III Shows the interior of a Latin classroom at seven-thirty in the morning. Even though George Hilbert is unaccountably present, the class is in session. Determined faces prove that though Latin is a dead language, it has many living conquerors, in- cluding Helen Tsianco. Scene IV A burst of loyal cheering ends a decisive baseball battle with the Orange and Black North Team. Victory makes Commerce the champions for the third consecu- tive year. Scene V A happy scene. The bell rings finally, marking the close of another year. There is the same dashing for the doors, but in good-natured manner, showing that the Commerce School Spirit has inspired every Sophomore heart. ACT III Scene I fTen happy weeks laterl Again the Illerrury feaures, as Juniors are seen eagerly scanning the pages to find Harold Fowler, President, Dorothy Mooney, Vice' President and Raymond Var- ney, Treasurer, again. Enid Moberg is the new Secretary. Scene II On a stage very similar to this. Charles LaDue is seen eloquently delivering the last argument for his team. However, the undefeated Girls' Debating Team, helped greatly by Helen Maxwell and Gertrude Grace, is given a l00'Z, victory by the judges. 44 1- T O Wxx g Scene III Shows a stage on which the novel opera, Chimes of Normandy is being pre- sented. Apolyna Stoskus and Doris Walker look charming in their quaint costumes. Ray Steere, Russell Quist and Clarence Stanton add an important element to the success of the event. Scene IV Class day! The red and white, our sacred color is flashing everywhere. Post- ponement because of rain dampens no one's spirits and gaily decorated horses and teams carry the happy spectators to the games. joy is added to the pleasures of the day when Commerce wins the meet. Crowds scurry this way and that to avoid the rain which comes to climax the glorious occasion. Scene V A geometry class--lest we forget! At a glance we see in the front row, William Degesis who specializes in avoiding mathematics. Samuel Gaflin is trying to put a proposition to music, while Enid Moberg and David Friel plead for more originals . We wonder if Gert Richardson is ever invited to Geometry Tea Parties because she is too quiet. Scene VI Into a beautifully lighted room we follow a crowd of elegantly gowned young ladies with their partners. The music lures, the couples whirl, but the dancing ceases all too soon. The Juniors have had their prom. So ends our happy Junior year, full of business and activities. ACT IV Scene I CA lapse of ten blissful weeksj Haughty, grown up people are seen looking condescendingly upon mere Juniors and Sophomores, forgetting their own past. At last the goal is reached-dignified Seniors! Nevertheless, when the new annex is most enthusiastically spoken of by Mr. Andrews in Assembly, and it is actually seen to rise, the undergraduates are the object of Senior envy. , Scene II Orderly lines of pupils pass from the Assembly Hall reading the latest copy of the Jllercury. John Burke is Senior President, Helen Maxwell, Vice Presidentg Enid Moberg, Secretary and George Hilbert, Treasurer. Scene III Features a basketball game ending in victory and making our school the city and county champions for two consecutive years. Two beautiful trophies are added to the growing collection. Solomon Yates represents our class on the winning team. 45 , g L Q IK HWIHlliilffl-iL3l+H'Si5!Hllfif?5Eiiill!E5lfli-ffi'ilIll3lliii!illl?i!E4 in,izSi'EQiii7flf3lii'2'-A-ifiliillwlmiiillliliwllllllillllw Scene IV Reveals a marvelous ballroom spectacle. Gay, chattering groups are scattered everywhere. With the aid of Ray Steere's popular orchestra, including Russell Quist without his oboe, this Britomart-Assembly Dance is made a social and financial success. Nelson Cloutier and Anita Lavigne, presidents of the respective organizations are heard suggesting that the proceeds be given for stage settings. We know this sug- gestion will be cheerfully carried out. Scene V What a quaint picture! Who is that gallent gentleman in flaming red trousers? It is none other than Jimmy Stevens enacting his part in Quality Street , the Blackfriar's annual play. There are some real old fashioned maidens, so old fash- ioned that they are scarcely recognized: Shirley Pickerstein, a memorable character in a previous play, Ruth McCausland, Ruth Stewart and Evelyn Gates. Scene VI Although Nelson Cloutier habitually favors the girls, we see him announcing with just a bit of disappointment, the victory of the girls over the Boys' Assembly, in a final debate. A great burst of cheering and clapping from the front row an- nounces the presence of the eternal two , Herby Zarling and Happy Goldberg. Rpse Mandell who won great honors in the Oratorical Contest, is the cause of the loyal support. Scene VII At last, proper recognition of the Horace Mann pupils! As they mount the stairs to the stage to receive golden keys from Mr. Andrews, in behalf of the school, we notice a pleasing number from our own class: Louise Baronisky, Elva Magnuson, Helen Maxwell, Enid Moberg, and Helen Tsianco. Scene VIII Before the entrance of a well known hotel in the city, numerous cars arrive. Quickly, Seniors and Juniors in evening array, alight and hurry to the ballroom. Here the brilliant flashing of crystal lights and the dancing of gay couples meets their view. This visualizes the last prom. And now the play, as well as four happy years, is finished. Though the story of these years takes but little space on paper, the events will fill our hearts for many years to come. 46' 1 O gg? Z X e - . . .. . . . gA,rawiimgirilmllllrlmalirmllll12WrlllmlD 1 , ii-: Glass Q9ratiun JAMES STEVENS OUR NATIONALISNI ' 'f S there is a faith that binds one to his religion, so there is a devotion that binds one to his country. That de- votion is patriotism, and patriotism is the essence of nationalism. Without this patriotism or nationalism no na- tion can endure. However, not all the so-called patriotism of the present day is of the right order. Too often we see, masquerading as patriotism, a proud, boastful habit of mind about one's own nation accompanied by a supercilious attitude toward other nations. It admits that the citizens may do wrong but insists that the state is always right. True patriotism, we must remind ourselves, involves humility. This humility will prompt us to labor to bring to our country all the blessings and hopes of humanity, to promote in every way the happiness and well-being of all its citizens. We shall be so intent upon improving our country spiritually, intellectually, and physically and upon making it the fittest possible habitation for all within its borders that we shall not have the time or the inclination to attack other countries or peoples in thought, Word, or deed. Until such an ideal is reached, nationalism must remain in its present place. Its work within the nation is not yet completed. The conflicting attitude toward this nationalistic question is internationalism. The internationalists would have us cease this intensive work in our own behalf: would have us rather extend it to the world at large. Their reasons are many and cogent, but the objections seem insuperable. As it is, no nation will surrender any part of its sovereignty for it would feel that its own concept of right would be lost. Besides, the claims of the several nations are factors that are radically opposed to the international idea. Each believes that its ideals and culture or civilization are superior to those of any other country. Each nation holds that God has given it a special mission to perform. Three illustrations will be suflice. The German attitude is, God has assigned to the German people Il place in the world and a role in history which demands continual sacrifices. Ou: pride should make us bear them with good heartf' Wyatt says, To us fthe British 3 has been given by our history a work and a mission perhaps the loftiest assigned to 47 KnifeM.-'mi-IHWITIQWWMwniiiliwswlffiifbl all ' I----.1- f 5 -SZ? a people. Roosevelt solemnly states, We here in America hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years, the shame and disgrace will be ours if we trail in the dust the golden hopes of men. The nation also holds that its highest duty to itself and to its people is to survive. By survival is meant the physical survival as a state, for the national ideals depend upon the existence of the nation, and would disappear without the protection of the latter. Moreover, to combine the nations would require some international code or constitution. But such a federation has already been tried. In 1815 the Tsar Alexander I of Russia conceived of a plan to unite the powers of Europe in order to bring about peace and goodwill among men. The result was the Holy Alliance. This treaty settlement, they hoped to maintain permanently inviolate, and in order to assure success for the idea, they obtained formal acceptance from every ruling state. The sovereigns in forming this August Union vowed never to depart from the strictest observance of the principles of the Laws of Nations. By 1820 the League of Peace had come to be regarded as an engine of tyranny and an obstacle to progress. By 1825 the August Union had been broken up by the withdrawal of Britain, soon to be followed by France. In 1830 Belgium revolted against Holland, and in 1848 red revolution broke out in France, Germany, Austria, and Italy. These revolutions were followed by a long series of great wars: the Crimean War, the wars of Italian liberation, the wars of Prussia against Denmark, and the war of Russia against Turkey. And when in 1878, after another Congress, Europe settled down to a long interval of unrestful peace, where were the treaty provisions of 1814 and 1815? Scarcely anything remained of the four hundred pages of careful elaborate provisions that were to have been sacred and inviolable. The first great practical experiment to organize some international code had disastrously failed. Our nationalism in its finest phase may be more easily clarified by the memorable words of Grover Cleveland: he tells us, Our country is infinitely more than a domain affording to those who dwell upon it immense material advantages and opportunities. ln such a country we live. But I love to think of a glorious nation built upon the will of free men set apart for the propagation and cultivation of humanity's best ideal of a free government, and made ready for the growth and fruitage of the highest aspirations of patriotism. This is a country that lives in us. I indulge in no mere figure of speech when l say that our nation, the immortal spirit of our domain, lives in us--in our hearts and minds and consciences. There it must find its nutriment or die. This thought more than any other presents to our minds the impressiveness and responsibility of American citizenship. Nationalism, as it has been revealed, has developed many different phases-from narrowness and selfishness of purpose to a broad and, at times, benevolent attitude toward backward peoples. The nationalism of America, though it may have had its 48 ,iff 05534 , fi -f IQ 4 iff B Glass Quperlatihes, 192958 unhappy phases of government, has revealed a desire at least on the part of the people as a whole to extend the benefits of democratic government, to other governments. lf at times it has been unwisely hasty in pressing its own form of government upon nations or peoples not yet prepared to assume the responsibility, the dignity, and the dangers of self-government, the nation's only desire was to extend the benefits of self-government through friendly assistance and protection to all the people in the world. In this respect our history in the Orient may well be a source of great pride to our Americans. We are not superior to any group of people as individuals, but it may be granted that as a national group we do, in general, make superior efforts to guard against the evils inherent in the relations of groups of men. With malice toward noneg with charity for all -we have walked serenely along the road of history while empires have been swept from the earth, while whole peoples have perished, and while thrones have crashed. Therefore, let us keep this Hunperturbed pace and let us cherish our helief in the ultimate justice of self-government and theifundamental right of man to rule himself. Best Looking .

Here I've been waiting for the last half hour and no service to be gotten. How on earth will I ever have time to take a trip around the world with this sort of service? VVell, well, here you are at last. You must have been out to lunch. Why-- why VValter Connor. What are you doing here? I knew you'd be the manager of a hotel. You always did hang around the lunch counter at Commerce. Oh--your not the manager? Who is then? Not-not--George Macuen? VVell send me in a chambermaid, please. Now I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Who do you suppose the chambermaid was? None other than Mary Handfield. She took me to my room and really I don't think that bed was made for a week. But nevertheless, I had to do the best I could. Ol' Sol was shining brightly in my window when I thought I would lie down for a spell, but no, llflorpheus wouldn't come. A sudden knock brought me to my feet. Such a loud knock that I expected to find slack Dempsey out there but instead stood VValter Pearson, blinking his eyes and grinning from one ear to the other. I3idn't think a little fellow like Walter could be blessed with the fist of a pugilist. He handed me a wire from the U. S. Line. I shall read it to you. You are to sail for Paris on the Ship 'Au Revoir'. I will meet you at the pier. Signed by his Excellency the Mayor of New York--Johnnie Burke-by his secretary George Hilbert. Guess I'Il get my luggage together. I was just leaving the hotel when I was suddenly pounced upon by one of those pesty people who call themselves SaIesmen . I quickly said in one breath 'lNo thank you -but before I could say another word I gazed into the horn rimmed spectacles of Hsalesman Sam Staymann, and together we yelled Commerce! Commerce! Well, Salesman Sam exclaimed, I guess l can't sell you a hand crocheted dust pan. I arrived at the pier and Mayor Johnnie was there to greet me. He im- mediately handed me the key to the Atlantic Ocean and with that a bouquet of forget-me-nots . Johnnie , Robert Deignan, Dwight Bacon and his body guard Robert Erickson who was '1lohnnie's right hand in the bootlegging business, bade me adieu. I embarked feeling quite tired after the ceremony I had gone through, and went to my Hcubby hole . I was just undressing when I suddenly saw a movement in the 50 ,LO S- as L ff i V ll I!l 'C'l 1 ul ' i-up 'I' f 1.-I' ,wh u - LWXX lg bed. Fearlessly I went over and shook the thing . What do you mean by being in my stateroom ? I asked. Slowly a blonde head appeared and a pair of grey eyes blinked sleepily. I looked again. Were my eyes deceiving me? YVhy Gertrude Grace what are you doing here? Gert was far from being awake and said, D-d-inner ready ? VVhy Gert don't you know me ? HUgh-ugh-Shirley , and we embraced each other and laughed till the tears came to our eyes. Gert informed me that she was going to Paris, this being her third trip. I saw my opportunity and asked her to accompany me as this was my first trip to Paris. By the way she said, do you know who the captain of this ship is ? Why no, I replied. Well its none other than Harold Fowler. Really? Oh I must go out to meet him. Lets go. We promenaded around the deck and suddenly I spied Captain Fowler. He immediately invited us to sit at his table, and said there was a surprise in store for us. Really, I could hardly wait. Suddenly I heard a familar voice crying all over the deck, Lahst cahll foah dinnah , and who do you suppose it was? Myer Broat- man! Well lunch hour was here at last and I was to get my surprise. I went down hurriedly and I noticed at the table sat a distinguished looking gentleman with :1 monocle, a cane and a sweet young lady looking lovingly into his eyes. Captain Fowler introduced them to us as Lord and Lady Mortimer Biddle. William Russell's uncle had left him a title, a cane, a monocle and he had married the sweet young heiress Helen VVagner. They were honeymooning and were on their way to Alaska. Bill seemed very happy with his acquired title. While we were eating the Lord Biddle exlaimed suddenly Oh, oh, I say m'deah, I perceive a rare specimen of insect in your soup. Lady Biddle answered, Well Billy deah, how much- can a little Hy swallow? Gert and I nudged each other and laughed. How good it was to talk over old times with these people. They informed me that Mary Finn and Elsie Dean were engaged by VVarner Bros. and were doing a Vitaphone number. Beatrice Miillett, Linnea Soderberg, Esther Skoog and Hilda Deneault were on their way to Africa with the idea of converting the African Pigmies. May the Lord be with them. ' They also told me that Gert Mcsherry and Sol Yates were doing a sister and brother act and were travelling with the N. G. Cno goodj Enterprise Coq doing a trapeze stunt called I'm falling for you. I don't know whether the food had affected me or something else but I suddenly felt very dizzy. I got up from chair and hastily ran to my stateroom. Gert followed me. I heard nothing more. VVhen I awakened I heard voices and on opening my eyes I saw some one in a white uniform bending over me. Inez Greene , I cried. Sh-h-h , said Inez you have been very ill with fallen arches and if you lie quietly you will be on your feet again. Looking around I saw a group of men gathered at the foot of my bed. This was apparently a consultation of doctors. One of them with a wrinkled forward and a well trimmed g0atee approached me saying, Er-r-r-, you are suffering from what the medical calls Feetios, Fallanious, Archeai . I looked at 51 L, T - , 'ORN-L xx i lgqqauiuimwiulvasaimillzlmm, ,,rarmg:i.eternal.1Qamiaiiimimarmsilvuzirsm him and the tears came to my eyes from laughing. I looking again. Say, aren't you David Fram? I knew hard study would get you into this. Shirley , he exclaimed, to think that I would be treating you with fallen arches. Why there are four other Commercites here. That distinguished looking gentleman with the wart on his nose is Gotfried Kasperson. The very short one standing beside him is Aaron Heiten. The other two, Gertie Giles and Ethel Fisher, who are just studying and this is their first case in fallen arches. They bade me farewell and went on their way. Two days later I was on my feet again as Doc Fram predicted. Unly one more day and I shall be in Paris. Paris at last! Gert, who is that 'rolly polly' gentleman coming towards us? Look, doesn't he look familiar to you ? And with a spasm of French words Homer Audette greeted us. I always thought he would make good in the French world and to think that he was Mayor of France. The band played several selections and Gert immediately recognized the band leader as Walter Luby. They accompanied us to Hotel Charles De Ritz where accomodations were made. We were then in- formed that in the evening we were to attend an opera called, Modern Tails From Horsemen by john Kozlicak. And what was more we were to sit in the Mayor's box. VVell, Gert and I rested until evening. That night Mayor Audette sent his chauffeur to take us to the Opera House. By the way, our chauffeur happened to be William Degesis. We were met there with an incessant flow of French from the Mayor and his secretary who was the former Vera Carlson from Commerce. VVe were ushered to the box and programs were handed to us. I know you will be interested in the programs I was exceedingly interested in it the minute I laid my eyes on it. The cast was as follows: Macbeth-Chester Mills Charlie Chaplin-Sam Hurwitz Lady Macbeth-Rose Mandell Janet Gaynor-Marjorie Greer Romeo-Ralph Snow Cleopatra-Sadie Eisenstat Juliet--Mary Jeffcoat Emil Jannings- Abe Greenberg Gerta Garbo--Mary Casey Har'ry Langdon- John Gilbert- Louise Fazenda-Alva Magnusson Pola Nigri-Grace Ries Lindberg-Lawrence Putnam Gary Cooper- Carlotta King-Evelyn Gates Oh Gert I do wish they would have an ensemble so that I could see all of them. Oo la la Madomoiselle Shirley and Madomoiselle Gertie we are going to have ze grand march, said the mayor enthusiastically. And now I could hardly wait for ze grand march . At last the moment arrived. To my amazement dear folks here is the formation which I beheld on the stage. Lady Macbeth on the arm of Sam Hurwitz, Emil Jannings with Pola Negri, John Gilbert with Evelyn Gates, Louise Fazenda with Charlie Chaplin, Romeo with Greta Garbo, Juliet with Harry Lang- don, Lindbergh with Mary Pickford, Gary Cooper with Ethel Barrymore, and Mac- beth with Cleopatra. The Mayor told me afterward that Romeo and Juliet and 52' ,Qg - Y sl- s Lai-1 ' Kr Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were far from being on friendly terms with each other, and in fact had come to Gay Paree to seek a divorce and naming as correspondent Sam Hurwitz as he was trying to steal Rose Mandell's orations and honors. Mac- beth was suing Hurwitz on a charge of alienation of effectionu. Evelyn Gates was madly in love with John Gilbert Cher leading manl. John was enraptured with Evelyn's voice and looked lovingly into her heavenly blue eyes as she sang the theme song to Tails From Horsemen , Crazy Over Horses, Horses, Horses . And John replied with love in his voice Drink to me only with thine eyes . What a pleasant evening spent. We happily went back to our hotel with happy memories behind us. The next evening Gert insisted that we go to a well known cabaret. We WCnt to the Dis-busted Millionaires Clubu. To my surprise Gert seemed to be very well known at this club. She showed me to a table which was very close to the orchestra. The players were just coming in. I squinted my eyes and put on my pince nez . I thought I saw someone there that looked familiar to me but I just couldn't place him. Isn't that Russell Quist? Why yes, of course it is, he's the leader of this orchestra. Where is the orchestra ? I asked. Gert asked Russell if he would kindly step aside and there I saw the orchestra. Alexandria Gouoveni played the French Horn, Millie Daniels played the smallest violin in the world designed by Rose Rubinsky. Rat VVaterfield played the drums, James McKenna the trombone, Florence Zaker the xylophone, Nora Fleming the flute, Phylis Snyder, mandolin, Anit Lavigne, saxaphone, Doris Thorell, cello. This was the most unique orchestra I had ever listened to. They played the overture from Rigelettol'. After the overture I 1'ecognized as the master of ceremonies Ray Steere. He informed us that the celebrated danseuse Mademoiselle Fifi was to give a solo number. I take pleasure in announcing, thats her now. How light and graceful Katherine Erickson was on her feet. Upon leaving the stage she was given a great ovation. Next number folks is to be a spanish Fandango dance and take it from me folks they'll take it from you. Lol and behold! Out came the worlds most famous Spanish Fandango dancers Senor Nelson Cloutier and Senorita Dorothy Fine. Senor Nelson was wearing green breeches, yellow waist coat, red girdle and last but not least a beautiful red robe. Senorita Fine was attired in a long purple skirt, orange blouse, a beautiful white Spanish shawl, a green headdress and of course a red red rose in her hair. It was a sight to behold! They danced to the strains of St. Louis Blues . I always knew Nelson would become a wonderful dancer from his experience at Dick Marshalls. The master of ceremonies then an- nounced that there would be a dancing number of eight Commerce midgets-Florence Fray, Rachel Cariglia, Mary Shea, Nora Ryder, E. Louise Ross, Gertrude Smith, Catherine Sullivan, Madelyn Wilson. They appeared in white bonnets, pink rompers, and blue socks. And to end this program Pauline Letieque 'will give the Chicago vision of 'I faw down and go Booml' gaining her falling experience on'the main stairway at Commerce. As the program ended Gert said 'AI have a little surprise 53, c .. ,JW .TF 05, -- M-M--an -P 1- ' I VQ:aI'afcm. . 'TZ 5 'M egg: c' ixi f-'Z .132 Jr' xiii?-ta . for you. I am the owner of this cabaret . No wonder they looked at her with knowing eyes. I'm afraid I will not be able to accompany you any longer as my business demands my presence here. So back to my hotel I must go alone. I found on my return there that things were going to happen. Besides a letter and news- papers that awaited me, the proprietor of the Hotel informed me that there was going to be a radio concert that evening. That perhaps caused the excitement among the guests. I sat down as near to the radio as I could get and opened by newspaper. My! what news! and about people that I had associated with years ago at Commerce. Here is a clipping from the Lonely Hearts Column conducted by Evelyn Nystrom that would interest you greatly and cause a chuckle.

While watching every move they made, he noticed them swallowing the swords one by one. Rather a cutting dinner, said one. Yes , replied the other, it makes one stand on edge.

One day mother left little Enid all alone. lt was growing darker and darker, a thunder storm was coming on. Quickly she ran and hid behind the door. Soon she heard a knock. 'Who goeth there?', asked Enid. 'Your fairy godmother', replied a voice. 'Enter'. In came a little old lady with black cloak. She held out two scrawny hands and in a gruff voice said, fCome child'. She took little Enid by the shoulders and said, 'Your to call me mother Kroutl' She ran thru the woods until she came to a den. There seated around a fire were six weird witches.

I should say that it could be sung well between meals. From Boylston cames this question. Is snoring a breach of etiquette? Ruth Stewart. Answer-I should say it was a breach of the mouth. From Paxton Navy Yard comes this question. Have Sylvia Gould and Ellen Harney disolved their partnership in the stamp collection business? Julia Buckunis. i Answer-No, they have disolved the glue off the stamps and have gone into the 'sticking business'. Another question. Are the seven midgets to appear over the radio circuit? Answer-No they are not. Esther Lyons is selling insurance in Scotland. Flossie Leofanti and Jennie Rossetti are making quick silver. They hope to catch up with the business very soon.

Now for the news bulletins from the Associated Press. General John Verdolino has been elevated to commander in chief of the Russian Cossocks. Miss Helen Maxwell, the well known sufferge has recently undergone a plastic operation. A young man, the victim of annesia has been found wandering the streets of Worcester. He gave his name to Patrolman Margaret Olsullivan- as Irving French. First aid was administered by Dr. Margaret Maykel and he was immediately taken to the 'Lost and Found' department of a well known newspaper to be claimed. An S. O. S. has just come in and I was asked to read this announcement, I am a young man built like a viking, with large blue eyes and a milk and honey complex- tion and am blessed with one of the skins you love to touch. I am looking for a young girl, who, if she qualifies, will be made the happiest woman in the world. Kindly forward your photographs to the undersigned. John Wandolowskif' A summons was recently issued to three young ladies for disturbing the peace on Summer St., Worcester, Mass. Patrolman Waldo Burns said that Helen Powers, Evelyn johnson and Francis Merrill were accosted by James Walsh and asked to give up their diamond bracelets which were imported from Woolw0rth's. Upon being refused Miss Francis Merrill showed her pugilistic power. They will be ar- raigned before judge Michael Kennedy tomorrow if Evelyn Johnson, Miss Powers and Miss Merrill are in condition to attend. I was becoming drowsy and could not listen any more. In fact all the Hotel guests were beginning to disperse, so back to my room I went to pack up my clothes for Romantic Spain. I arrived in'Spain in the early evening. That gave me a chance to see Romantic Spain by moonlight. After dinner I thought I would take a stroll. While Walking along the street I heard the sweet strum of a guitar, and a tenor voice. Music being my hobby I followed it. I came upon a very pretty Scene. A young man was seranading his 'lady love'. I stood for a moment and listened. The music so enchanted me that I couldn't leave. I moved a little closer. The rays of a lamp shone on his radiant face as he looked up at the balcony with love in his eyes. No wonder Romeo climbed the balcony. Upon closer examination I discovered it to be Arnold Hager. My eyes followed the direction of his gaze. Why-why-its Mabel Haywood cooing softly. She ran down and embraced me. What an opportunity. Here I was all alone in Spain and then to accidently bump into two Commercites. I was now in the hands of Mabel and Arnold. They were to make all my plans and my ambition was to be realized. I was to witness a real bull fight. They escorted me to the Hotel. VVas I dreaming that morning or did I really hear the sweet music 58 -iog ir I 'Wifi S of tambourines? VVell, anyway to justify my curiosity, I got up and looked out of the window. My! but Commerce was well represented in Spain. There I saw five lovely maidens playing and dancing to the music of tambourines. Evidently Mabel had sent them to seranade me as that was not their profession. I called each one by name and they quickly recognized me. I called them up and there we sat and talked about old times . I was surprised to hear that Evelyn Benson was taking a cor- respondence course on How to Swim the English Channel and that Rose Frank and Bertha Linna were investing in Mercury and were quite sure it would go up in the summer. Ann Aisenberg told me that Doris Premo was selling the Declaration of Independence in Russia. I must look her up while I'm there. Gertrude Durbin told us that John Hosmer has gained fame as a song writer and his latest was the Tuxedo song entitled You may belong to somebody else, but tonight you belong to me. As I recall John always did have a marvelous voice. Helen Tsianco said that Gert Farber was teaching in a deaf and dumb school in Alaska. Well , said Gertrude, I can't tell you any more but you will see more Commercites at the bull fight as all Spanish Society turns out for that. In fact all European celebrity were to attend as Herbie Zarling was the greatest matador of the age. That made me all the more eager to see the fight. Mabel called for me and at last we were on our way. We arrived early purposely, so that I could see who was who. Finally we were seated. Yes, there certainly were European celebreties there. To think our Commerce friends had risen to such royalty. I watched the people as they came in. With the Prince of Wales came Helen Statz. Ruth Wickham was with Einstein the great scientist. I looked around and there in back of me sat Joseph Pearson and Irene Carlson. Turning to the right of me I saw four eminent women come in. I asked Mabel if my eyes were deceiving me or if I really was looking at Louise Baronisky, Viola Jablonski, Marjorie VanDenburg, and Ellen Steamer. No , she said, your apt to find them anywhere. In fact a ceremony wouldn't start if they weren't present. Hush-a bell! The bull was already out in the center of the ring. The bell was still ringing. The bull was running, raging and snorting like mad. Gee! just like a real bull fight. Bells were ringing, people were cheering and I was so nervous that I clutched a man's sombrero and let it fall to the ring. He turned around and was just about to do something violent to me but instead he yelled, What you here? Yes, Eddie Payne it's mei' I replied laughingly. Well, young lady I'll have you know that I'm the promoter of this here bull fight. I turned around just in time to see the matador come in. The cheering was greater than ever now. It was over in a minute! Herbert Zarling was the victor. Perhaps his victory was due to his excellent ability of throwing the bull while at Commerce. Gradually the cheering stopped as a lady stepped forward with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in behalf of the Spanish Nobility. Who is she? Who is she? the mob cried, and then I heard someone say, I think its Minerva Bearse, the brilliant Spanish Senorita. Didn't she go to Commerce with us? I asked. Why, yes, of course she did. 59 , - 0-.Xie ff' - K 'l'iilllllllTi'Ql:l'nlllllhitgiillllllliiiillllllllllllllhlil ,Ano.ralwlililfllfifililllllIllillliliiillllllwllllllllllllil li V lfVhat a handsome spectacle these Spanish Senorita's made as they walked out of the arena. By the way Helen Charette and Elsie Julin just went by. Well, another profitable day spent! And now I was to go to Venice. Venice-moonlight--romance! Imagine stopping at a hotel not on Main Street but on the Grand Canal. From my window I watched the drifting lights of gona dolas and heard the soft lapping of the water and the dreamy song of the gondoliers. In the morning a smiling gondolier awaited me. The smile seemed familiar. Who could forget the broad grin of Ray LaCroix. He informed me that he was Cer-A tainly getting his ups and downs . He helped me into the gondola and we glided along thru the water to the strains of O Sol O Mio . How peaceful it was. We were now nearing upon a Venitian Garden. I asked Ray if he would stop and at the same time another gondola glided by us and stopped. Ray whispered ro me that's Beatrice Soloperto and 'Tom' Graham. What a surprise to meet them here! It was growing late and time to turn back. I was quite tired when I returned to my hotel but nevertheless, happy, for tomorrow I was to visit the Cathedral of St. Marks, one of the landmarks of Venice. It was worth all the money in the world to come to Venice to see this Cathedral. ln the plaza outside, l saw a number of tourists feeding the pigeons which fluttered around. The gigling and laughter of the same young ladies attracted my attention. These people were evidently having a delightful time. Upon coming nearer I found these ladies to be Barbara Smith, Edith Putnam, Ethel Lind, Johnson Teolk. I asked them what they might be doing here. One informed me that they had traced the famous bird, the Pippett, which was now extinct in America, to Venice. Inci- dently, they were making a collection of rare insects. Marion Lundstrom took out a box and showed me the different worms and named each one with a name a yard long. Strange as it may seem these people were always hopping along on the Com- merce lawn and this was the answer to the enigma. IfVe all went to a restaurant and were peacefully enjoying our dinner when we heard some awful shrieks. It proved to be two waitresses quarelling over a tip which an American gentleman had given them. They could not decide how they would split the twenty-five cents. The gentleman was calmly looking over his spec's enjoying it, for Mark Forgues always did enjoy a pugilistic battle especially when it envolved two young ladies such as Edna Culinane and Adeline Rahaim. However he tossed them another cent, and we left them at that. Upon leaving the restaurant a sweet little girl came up and asked us if we would buy her roses. How could I refuse the sweet little ways of Edith Lonczewski. She was very eager to tell me of the people she had sold flowers to. She told me that Alton Werme and Hilda Johnson were holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa and that Lempi Siitonen was a political boss in China, and that Helen Spongberg and White had taken a special course in Palmer Method Writing and were now reading the inscriptions on the Pyramids and that Elsie Martin was scaling the Rock of 60 LO- li g1iQ3?f2ii1 ffil35'i+E,2iiiliIiQW,iIllili:5?Hi!lI5iii9 L . .- e Gibraltor, a feat of the age. I was overjoyed to hear about the people I had once known. A Picturesque Switzerland from here! I learned that there was to be a contest there. A famous manufacturer of Swiss Cheese had offered a prize to the one who would climb the Matahorn and bring back the cheese which he had placed there several years before. Well folks, you can use your own imagination as to the condition of the cheese. However Ruth Lindquist tried and failed. Alice Johnson got up :i little nearer but the odor of the cheese drove her back. Then Julia Shimukonis obtained it and ran down the side of the mountain with the cheese under her arm. While I'm in Switzerland I must by all means visit a monastary. Think of get- ting up in the morning at sunrise and climbing the beautiful Alps. The sun rays dancing around like diamonds on the snow white peaks of the mountain, I had the good fortune to have as my guide Lawrence McCall. He certainly looked spiffy in his knee breeches, a Scotch plaid cape and a skull cap with a feather in it. Upon reaching the summit of the mountain we found a group of climbers already there. I could tell by their fishing rods, canvas bags and butterfly nets that they were either a bunch of farmers or a group of college professors. They asked my guide if this was the nearest route to Mars. Lawrence looked at them dumbfoundedly, not knowing what to say. I turned around to see who asked this foolish question and behold Abe Newman with a straw in his mouth. David Friel was holding up his butterfly net ready to pounce upon some poor little insect. It might have been me if I 'hadn't moved away at that moment. Ray Bartlett was pointing with his fishing rod to what he thought was Mars and Sam Gaffin was taking it all in gaping with his mouth wide open. He might have caught the insect had he not clamped his mouth at that very moment. . We proceeded to the monastary which was a little way off. Calmness and quietude reigned there. Coming along towards us was a man in a long black flowing robe and skull cap. He nodded to me and I looked into a pair of eyes that seemed to say Welcome . He passed me and as he did so my guide informed me that he had come from a little town in America called 'fWorcester several months ago and was known as Father Ronayne. This interested me immensely and I was tempted to go back but my guide stopped me. It was high noon when we ascended the mountain. As we came near the base I heard the sweet music of shepherdess calling to her nanny goats. I stopped and listened. It was coming nearer to me. Soon I saw coming toward me a quaint little lady, the possessor of that beautiful voice, 'Dot Pechette with her goats hot on her trail. She passed me without recognition. I next found myself in Holland. The country of dikes, Windmills and tulips. As I came to a city in Holland I noticed a hub-bub. Men were putting up posters everywhere. A great event was to take place. Harold Lloyd was coming in person and was to be at the New Amsterdam Theatre. Here I was to meet a man from my own country. You may be well assured I a-ttended the Theatre that evening and 61 isum?er'iewiualrmaiarilwlslaizafi 31' ' 'A 1 Qcru arrived good and early too. Soon the audience assembled and the curtain rose. Two little girls came out dressed in Dutch costumes and sang Coming Thru the Rye . These were the sweet voices of Betty Lalanne and Ellen Carlson, the world's great- est mammy singers. As they were politely bowing and backing off the stage gradually, Margaret Donoghue came out and presented them with a bunch of lillies and tulips. That was the end of their career in Holland. Next was a famous Indian Ensemble from the High School of Commerce. The beating of the Tom Toms was like a roar in a Lions Den. To this music came out seven Indian maidens with their chief. Snakelike they danced and jumped around doing the dance of the Pow-wows , while their chief ran around making wierd noises. 1 recognized this as the voice of Ruth lVIcCausland, the famous witch in INIacbeth . Soon they sat down legs crossed and prayed to the Spirits to give them applause. As the chief called them each by name to the strains of the Tom-Toms they left the stage.. The applause was so great that Chief McCausland came out and gave us their names. Spitfire- Gert Richardson Wampus--Selma Morrison Pale Face--Mary Skadovitch Minatonka--Philomena Depari T atyana--Anna Goldman Little Cub-Anita Beaudry Wanneata-Sylvia Lautala Chief Pocahontas---Ruth McCausland The house cheered on but Chief Pocahontas and his maidens withdrew. Next came the long awaited Harold Lloyd. The curtain arose and with the flash of a bright red neck tie and a feather from Chief Pocahontas's head gear, grinning behind a pair horn rimmed spectacles stood Harold Goldberg Lloyd . The audience be- came wilder and wilder with the cheering and the clapping. It took nearly five minutes to settle the audience again. Then Harold began his speech. Ladies and gentleman, unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, it does me great pleasure to be with an audience as intelligent as you are. As you know I come from Brazil from whence all your nuts are imported. At this remark the audience began to clap again and the remainder of his speech was drowned out by the uproar. Next on the program was the imitation of Moran and Mack by Martin Freedman and Everett Zakarian. Let me give you a bit of their witticism. What you am doin' in Hollan'? Same youse doin' brother, what you call dat guy what he discobered dat you is the direct relation to a monkey-Oh!-I'se got it-I has Darwin-dat am de man. Dat's jus' what I'se doin' in Hollan'. I'se pickin' Darwin Tulips. That was the best twenty-five cent show I had ever attended. Back to my hotel I went. I was awakened by the clatter of milk cans. Sleepily, I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. Four o'clock in the morning and Holland was awake! I jumped out of bed and looked out of the window. Two little ladies passed me with yokes and cans hanging from their shoulders. I recognized them as Jennie Goodkin and Millie Johnson. 62 ,eos M V 'li 'llil V ' 'f 'l lfl5l!

You see I received an invitation to attend the wedding of Blanche Carlson who was to be married to the Arch Duke of Bulgaria. I arrived there just in time to get into my evening clothes and quickly rush to the church. I was just seated when the wedding procession began. To the strains of I Won't Get Home Until lVIorning came the maid of honor Alice Edlin on the arm of the Persian Prince. Then came the brides maids and ushers. With the Shiek of Araby was Bea Lek- strom. Irene Huntly was with the Crown Prince of Nebecaneza, Elsie Swenson with Jack Dempsey who had just arrived from America to take this place of honor. Bertha Solod was with Commander Byrd and Dot Holmes with Red Grange. Then came the little flower girl Phoebe Patt marching daintily down the aisle. After her came the blushing bride and groom. The preacher came to meet them. Could it be YVilliam Green? Yes, it was. After an impressive ceremony we were taken to the home of the bride for the reception. I was surprised to find other Commercites there. Among those there were Edith Anderson, William Adam, Anna Beausang. and Reva Feinsilver. I had a delightful little chat with them and they insisted that I visit Hiedlebutg University. Students from all Walks of life were present. I particularly noticed one professor. A short thin man, wearing eye glasses, who seemed to be busily occupied. Around him were gathered several students. I went closer to find that he was disecting a caterpillar. He was bound to find out just how and why the caterpillar grew so many minute hairs. With pliers and sheets he worked and worked. Professor Arnold Amadon and his class consisting of Anna Brosnihan, Mildred Connor, Margaret Kelley, John Kozlicak, Eleanor McAuliffe, Harriet Magill all with eyes glued on the little caterpillar waiting for results. But a strange thing happened! Before the Professor had finished snipping his list snip, a beautiful butterfly emerged and flew away, much to the disgust and ejaculations of Professor Amadon and his students. Well, that episode brought me to visit the interior of thc University. I was shown around by one of the students who was no less than Eunice Kalin. She took me to a very small room, and here seated on a low bench was a sculptress making a Grecian bust of Viola Fife. From there she led me to a room where several Professors were seated discussing politics in Russia. She introduced them to me as Edgar Mathieu R. S. V. P., James McGovern R. S. P. D. Q. and James McKenna P. S. D. They seemed to be discussing one man in particular. The mentioning of his name startled me. To think that Russel Salmonsen was I1 leader in Russian Politics. I couldn't get heads or tails from their gossip as the hub-bub of their voices drowned out everything and almost deafened me. However, I did hear clearly that three young ladies namely Kathleen Hurlihy, Dorothy Searles and Nellie Sabonaitis were introducing aviation in the African jungles under the able leadership of Helen Vandlan, who was a former pupil of Thea Rasche.- Their method of instruction was to throw phamphlets from the air which encouraged the Pigmies to enroll in a correspondence course in aviation, conducted by Nora Shaugh- nessv. 63 O , pr, f: l '.,T xJ lgwriznirffcjgggJasumviarmafrr rwer.sems..1fi12awltrsnirlmamlzrsfml 2293 Russia with its fields of flax and thatched roofs. I arrived there just at Sundown. As you perhaps know instead of motor cars in Russia, horses are used as a means of conveyance. So I was driven to the Tolstoy Inn and to my astonishment my driver was Bernard Izbiki. A young Russian peasant girl Tura Grudoff showed me to a quaint little room and there I sat and thought what a small world this was. I had met some of the most famous men and women who were once my classmates at dear old Commerce. Sleep came at last. Next morning I awoke early as I was to be driven to the country side. My guide Roland Clarke was already waiting for me. How lovely the country of Russia is. Here and there were peasant maidens picking the flax. I recognized three as Rose Barr, Anna Rome and Violet Howard. They told me that an American College had sent them there to study peasant life. Indeed they were hard at work. I went away and soon I heard the song of the Volga Boatmann in the distance. I came upon a very beautiful sight. On a load of hay. drawn by a pair of oxen, sat a girl with long flaxen braids hanging down her shoulders and a pair of heavenly blue eyes. PollyI' Stoskus voice soared to the sky above as she sent lovely notes from her golden throat. Around her also seated in the hay were two young men, and three young ladies. 'fPolIy introduced them to us as Algie Carlson, Arthur Make, Eveline Nelson, Winifred Stabbard and Raymond Larson who was taking the famous Caruso's place. John Reidy who owned a flax mill and Irving Stockhaus and Ida Rosenthal who helped Ray Larson in chorus work. They drove on with the last note of the Volga Boatman still in the air. . Coming towards us was another hackney. Two gentleman busily engaged in talking. They did 'not notice that we were almost on top of them. Had it not been for my driver there would have been a catastrophe . One gentleman thinking that his buggy had the right of way jumped out and a squabble began. Upon hearing this I also jumped out to try and separate them. I recognized the gentlemen. VVh5' Jimmie! Jimmie Stevens what are you doing here ? He was so astounded to see me that he did not answer at once. However he got his breath back again and informed me that he and Mr. Oakes were looking for a leading lady for their play entitled, Oh Tyrany Where Is Thy Blush? , with Jimmie starring as the leading man. They had come to Russia to see if Greta Garbo would be suited to take the leading feminine part, and were looking up her ancestry. Jimmie told me that Walter O'Brien was a politician in Chicago and was now living on Easy Street. I c0uldn't imagine how he figured that out. I left Mr. Oakes and Jimmie and they promised to send me complimentary tickets for their first picture. When I arrived at my Inn a letter awaited me. News from America at last! Believe me I sat right down and read, read, and reread till I could read no more. From this letter I learned that Ruth and Viola Ludden were training mosquitos in Jersey City. Eleanor O'C0nnell had opened a home for stray cats in Hoboken. Just think! Ruthy Silverman had published a book entitled How To Catch A Man . The book is selling like hot cakes much to the disgust of the men. Abe Snider and Jimmie Bostock were 64 0 V ug rw +i1f' zu- 'li 'lj' I uee'4?

Rose Johnson and Dot Kinnevan were doing the famous Me and My act in a Chicago playhouse. And listen to this: Max Coblentz has been elected Senator from Tuchaho! More good news! Clarence Stanton and Joseph Witney have been sent to count the Thousand Islands and make sure the public has not been misled as to the number. England with its Kings, Queens, Lords and Ladies. No wonder I was happy, l was to be presented to court, an event never to be forgotten. I was extremely astonished to find that I was not the only one to be presented. There were four others. Isabel Oclatis was honored as the Swat Queen of England. America was proud to think that her career had begun at the High School of Commerce. Next presented was Genevieve Norris the famous novelist who gained recognition thru her greatest novel, How To Live On Twenty-Four Hours A Day . The worlds small- est radio announcer was next. Violet Welton was affected with the office while She was attending Commerce. Kay Donoghue was resented because her charming personality had won the heart of the Queen. Among the Ladies in waiting l recognized Linnea VVhalstrom, Miriam Wilson, and Mary Power. How they ever got there was beyond me. Everything was serene and quiet when from out of a clear sky came such words as these Tally ho, tally ho!f! Who cames hither with his legs in parenthsis. Oh Kingie Ol' Chap t'is the butler himself! Ah quite rude, quite rude, Bliss Court Jester , replied Florence Navickas. Who could it be but Frances Baker herself keeping the king in splits all day long. The King hadn't quite gotten over the joke that Frances had come from Commerce. Ah listen to the mocking bird, announced Frances, 'pon my word of honor it sounded like a Nightingale to me, Frances came over to me and whispered in my ear, That's Doris Walker . How silly of me not to recognize her. La Belle Walker as she was known. Oh, I say Kingie and Queenie ol' deahs, how would you dijest a little dance from Carrie accompanied by Ann Mercadante at the piano ? 'lDelighted, answered the two ol' deahs. Tripping lightly down the golden stairs came demure sweet little Caroline Gurnick on her toes dancing the dance of 'fLittle Miss Muffet . Like a little butter- fly she Hittered here and there. Soon our Jester Frances announced that she had .1 creepy feeling that her stomach was just craving for some food. So led by the King and Queen we adjourned to a spacious dining hall where a dinner too appetizing to mention was enjoyed by all. , And now for Southampton to board ship for home. I had heard from every one of my classmates. While dreamily sitting on a deck chair suddenly a voice dawned upon my consciousness. VVere my ears deceiving me? The most pleasant surprise of all. Mr. Andrews! Immediately related this tale to him and he declared that the Class of 1929-B was indeed the greatest and most famous Class of all. 55 , e .. - .
