Class Orafor to live rn an atmosphere of co operation and patience There rs no use In seemg what is necessary unless we make a real adaptation in our behavior Because of this conclusion Unesco was founded If Unesco were only an office In Paris its task would be impossible lt IS more than that lt rs an association of some sixty five countries which have pledged them selves to do all they can not only Internationally but within their own boundaries to advance the common arm of educating for peace The International aspect applies because we shall obviously further peace more rapidly and with more mutual trust lf we do rt together This doesnt mean that education ln your school rs to be turned over to some insidious foreign influence that wants to attack your way of life The govern ments that make up Unesco would never have been founded if its purpose had been to make French boys less French Americans less American Japanese less Japanese Being a good neighbor does not mean ceasing to call your home your own and having to re arrange the furniture the way someone down the street might like it Education for international under standing doesnt even mean saying that other people s opinions or ways of life are as good as your own They may not be It means only admitting that others have as much right to their oprmons and theur ways of life as you have to yours lt means mutual respect and mutual help as l sand beang good neighbors Education is involved rn two ways If we are to get along with each other Instead of destroying each other we need to develop friendly attitudes of mind for co operating with people who may not have the same outlook as our own We need knowledge of what these differences are so that we can understand each other and co operate better In forming these attitudes and in grvong this knowledge our activities in school are Important Dlctators who wanted to organize their people for war have always done two things In their schools They have used authoritarian methods In order that children would grow up not as free and responsible persons but as unquestlonlng servants of the dictator s will and they have twisted what was taught about other countries so that hate was engendered Instead of understanding Education among democratic and peace loving peoples will do the opposite of these thungs lt will encourage schools themselves to be com munltles an which children though they have to follow certain rules for the common good will follow them happily and indeed help to carry them out because they are treated as real persons capable of showing Initiative and of thinking for themselves ' I n . . . ,, .

greeted as sophomores un the gymnasuum by our pruncupal Mr Wulluam J Casey We were soon sent on our way to our dufferent classes Amud the enormous labyrunth of the two buuldungs the upperclassmen made use of all theur usual gestures and pranks Everywhere we looked there was a new face glarung down upon us Although we dudnt realuze durung our first year at Commerce exactly what was happenung could easuly sense that there was quute a bustle of actuvuty and excutement un the aur The CADUCEUS for the eughth consecutuve tume had won a hugh honor un the natuonal yearbook competutuon The Gurls Fueld Hockey team headed by the undyung patuence and coachung from Muss lsabelle Bosworth copped the Inter Hugh crown for the suxth tume un successuon Durung thus same year the members of the Mercury Staff

event was a new sux peruod schedule announced by Mr Casey Our lunuor year began wuth a great deal of actuvuty whuch seemed to be so contaguous to all the Maplestreeters Thus ambutuon was sulenced for a spell for a dark cloud of sadness hovered over the roof tops of Commerce due to the fact that our beloved teacher of mathematucs and our great football coach Mr John E Foley passed away on October 25 l952 Mr Foley had devotedly spent eughteen years of hus teachung career at Commerce A plaque un memory of thus fine man us now hangung near room five Once agaun the flag un front of buuldung l was

School of Commerce flew at half mast on Fruday May l5 because Muss Catherune Benout dued after a long ullness Thus marked the thurd loss to our school thus year No one can evaluate what these losses wull mean to future students here Thus year of tears and smules had come to an end and that long awauted day was upon us Senuors' We had finally reached our goal lt was the tume to uoun dufferent
