I 1SlliN:e lllfzefsdilfpgsfselzr PUBLISHED BY THE SEIQIQR CLASS Hr: YONKERS HIGH 5CHOOL OF' CONMERCE Yonnens, Nm June was FCREWORD HE nautical theme of this 1939 Ledger is particularly appropriate because it marks the date ot the launching ot the new ship of Commerce. This yearbook is the only one oi its kind. There will never be another like it. This is not a boast but a tact, since it is the first issue from our new school. ln this book are chronicled the events of the first year. The first chapter in the history of Commerce has been completed and the contributors to the Ledger have tried to do justice to its importance. -2- 'Hr We, the graduating class of 1939, are happy to dedicate our Ledger to a member of the faculty, who, for years, has Worked indefatigabiy for the good of the pupils in Commerce. With deep appre- ciation, as our farewell thank you, We dedicate to you, MISS AYRES, our 1939 Ledger. PRINCIPAL RALPH HOWARD BAKER BS., B.C.S., New York University Though a little one, the master word WORK looms large in meaning.

Would it not be exciting to know its destination? Let us book passage on the ship Good Fortune and glide along over the glistening waves under a sky of blue to the port of success. Gaze far into the future. The years pass quickly until the year 1950 comes into view. Our ship is ready to take up on our journey round the world so that we may once again meet our classmates as they enjoy the success of the careers they have carved out for themselves. Let us go aboard our ship, for our time is short and there is much to see . Our first stop isWashington, D. C., and visiting the Senate House we find the Senators in deep discussion. Among them are Iames Blose, Abraham Brustowsky, Thomas DiFrancesco, Iohn Henebry, Alex MacDougall, Angelo Pascucci, lack Zazza, William Sissler, Harry Sayers, Matthew Smith.

Visiting the studios we meet such successful stars as Mildred Weisensee, Ioe Scheppowski, Margaret Craig, Olga Kropchak, Iames Brooks, Irene Kopko, lohn Karell, Irene Yacko. A star could not be successful without a script girl. Among those who have chosen this career are Frances DeVito, Catherine Callan, Alice McCue, Anna Tooma, Susan Tirone, Anne Lukas, Anne Donohue, Eleanor Diehl, Mil- dred Fisher, Helen Smith. As we sail across the calm Pacific, above us flies the spacious China Clipper whose pilots are Bill Cholowsky and lohn Donleycott, and whose stewardess is Irene Malcolm. Chop Suey-what does that remind you of? China, of course, and that is the place where we next dock our ship. Riding in a rickshaw is indeed a rare pleasure, especially, when you can view beautiful oriental scenery. At the newspaper dispatch offices wiring the important news of the day to their respective papers are many foreign news correspondents as loseph Bednar, Catherine Gomez, Sam Cremona, Alma Ballas, Francis Mendelson, Mary Sin- opoli, Edward Higgins, Georgianna Wilson, Celia Schwartz, Titania Turchick.

The star player for the Yankees is Happy Locatelli, and the star player for the Giants, Ben Liebowitz.

Many of the successful business men and women who have not ventured beyond our own city are Florence Smith, Frances Repicky, Margaret Nugent, Roselle Melzer, Sophie Zwarych, Mary Radzilowicz, Dorothea Rhead, Iohn Gallagher, Irene Robbins, Louis Mauier.

The graduates of Commerce High School are now starting out into the world to carve out for themselves their respective successful careers. 1 -55- if Iflqfmn x Im dllkhdl 56 13l'v21n'Wmlfnvmzrx1ff LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE S. S. 39 E, OF the good ship 39, are now embarking on the sea of destiny. We shall be guided only by the wise counsel left us by Mr. R. H. Baker and his crew of experienced seamen. We are going to set full sail, and, if a good wind should come up, we feel that we shall be fully capable of weath- ering the storm. But, now before we depart, we must first leave instructions to the new crew so that they may take over our ship and dispose of their duties, as we did, to the best of their ability. To Mr. R. H. Baker, our Captain- We bequeath more new seamen so that he may guide them and also give them wise counsel to prepare them for the sea of business when some day they will be graduated. We also leave you the privilege of asking the Port of Education for a more seaworthy office bench so that the very hard wood land who else should know better whether or not it is hardl may be made softer. To Mr. R. Crossman, our First Mate- We bequeath continued success and happiness in his new position as Assistant Guidance Director and as Customs Inspector of our new ship. We also leave to him a new and, if possible, a better Hi-Y Club to guide. To Mrs. Bardsley, our Staunch Lookout- , We bequeath more help and assistance in her work of making each Ledger better than that of each preceding year. To Mr. Pierre Leslie Paulding and our Cleanup Crew- We bequeath the privilege of receiving more letters complimenting them on their good work in keeping our boat the cleanest and most seaworthy of any in the Port of Yonkers. To Mrs. M. Zulauf and her Log-Keeping Mates- We bequeath new help and continued hope that they will be as efficient and as capable in the years to come as they are now and, perhaps when we of the present crew would like to look back and inquire about a certain crew member, we hope that we shall have to ask our present crew of log-keepers. To the Iunior Crew- We bequeath the woes and worries of raising funds for their log-book, the Ledger, and the privilege of electing Senior crew members to positions which they also will help to guide the new ship. To the Sophomore Crew- We bequeath the privilege of being the first class of seamen to complete the three-year course of seamanship in the near future in their new ship. We also leave the honor of being elected to all honor crews and clubs of our barge. As we dock in our port, it is only fitting that we should pay tribute to the people who were instrumental in helping and fitting us for our great voyage on the sea of life, these people consisting of none other than perhaps the best teaching staff in the ports of the Seven Seas and the best Captain who anyone could wish to have at our helm. As we are at the end of our voyage, we shall close this solemn log of our past, and bid the new crews Bon Voyage upon entering their particular courses.

MISS NINA PADELFORD RISTA, the girls' honorary society in the High School ot Commerce, was organized in l925 for the purpose of furthering the interests ot education. Up to this tall candy was sold to the student body during the entire school year to provide money tor tour scholarships. Unfortunately the change in school hours and plans has deprived Arista of this privilege. Their activities at present are entirely social. The members are the ten girls from the senior class who rank the highest in scholarship, character, and service. They are selected by the faculty and are tapped each May by the outgoing members.

RALPH PROGNER HE Beta Chapter of the Skull and Key was the first honorary society to come into existence in the High School of Commerce. lt was organized with the opening of school in l924. Skull and Key aims to bring the leaders in the intellectual, social and athletic phases of school life together in one group, so that their combined influence on public opinion may produce improvement in various school 1-wwrw +1 GCL1 v LLLGS. The basic qualifications for membership in the society are-character, scholarship, leadership, and service. ln addition to these qualities a candi- date must possess that quality termed as school spirit. The membership is limited to ten members because it is felt that a greater number would defeat the purpose of the society. These members are selected each Iune by the faculty from the incoming senior class to replace those who have been graduated.

Its members have various responsibilitiesg they show leadership, initiative, tact, and a high degree of cooperationg they lessen the demonstrations ot poor sportsmanship on the part ot spectators and tone down the over-enthusiastic individual rooters. This year the squad has been especially active. A second squad con- sisting ot thirty-tive members has been formed. The members were all regular in attendance. They contributed new cheers and gave whole-hearted co- operation. They were always undismayed and cheered the harder when the home teams were losing. A word of praise should be given to the members of the squad for their loyalty and efforts in promoting the important social element ot good sports- manship. -112- W BASKETBALL TEAM Row lf-Left to right Basketball Queen Row 2 Ben Liebowitz Peqqy Craig, Ioe Peko Iohn Rilko Sieve Waricka Avwv ll,-..,. .. ,.., Tully 1v1L,1aCc1llU.

A Triphi Hallowe'en Party was held at the Y.W.C.A. in October by the girls of the Commerce Triphi with Mrs. Wynne and Miss Del Bello in charge. A very enjoyable amateur hour was given in the Assembly which was largely attended. Open House, held in the Fall, enabled parents and friends to come in the daytime during regular sessions, instead of in the evening for special classes as formerly was the custom. A very entertaining assembly was given for the benefit of the parents and other visitors. The Social English Club served refreshments. The Commart Club, sponsored by Miss Wyckoff, was increasingly active. Handmade Christmas cards were sold and the proceeds went toward an art scholarship which was awarded to a talented boy or girl graduate. The pro- ceeds from their annual Mardi-Gras Dance also goes toward this scholarship. The Commart members did most of the artwork for the Ledger. The Arista and Skull 6: Key held their annual Turkey Trot Dance in November in the school gymnasium. The Rhythm Kings held full sway over the large crowd in the gaily decorated barn. Washington's Birthday Ball at the Polish Community Center was another success. The Senior Christmas Party wound up the first term on a high note. Amateur entertainment, care-free dancing, and refreshments were enjoyed by all present at this gala affair. The Dramatic Club presented the school play, lt Never Rains, on May 19, l939. They also presented various minor plays at the group gatherings in the auditorium. ' The moving picture Hoosier Schoolboy, given in the evening at the Assembly also provided theatrical entertainment. The proceeds went toward the Ledger. The 1939 edition of the Commerce Blue and White baseball team got off to a poor start but speeded up to victory and success after they got into the swing of things. For the past year the Commerce Golf Team has enjoyed a very success- ful campaign. Led by Captain Ioseph Schepkowski, the Commerce linksmen proved victorious in many high school contests. The bowling team, too, has become an active school activity. The volleyball game between the girls and boys proved exciting with boys emerging victorious. Without the contributions of rooms A, l02, l05, 106, l08, ll0, ll3, 207, 209, 212, 303, and 304, and contributions of Social English classes, the Ledger could not have been much of a success. The funds raised through the sale of Christmas Seals, pencils, basketball tickets, corsages, Santa Clauses, mistletoe, basketball pins, Commerce kerchief, hayride tickets, moving picture tickets and Lulus provided for the extra pictures in the Ledger. The Hi-Y boys were particularly active this year. Girls were invited to the various affairs sponsored by the boys. Commerce Hi-Y played their part in the inter-scholastic meet on May 27 where dancing aided in getting groups from the various high schools of Yonkers acquainted. The boys won most of their basketball games. They benefitted from eight dancing lessons during October and November. Their Christmas and Valentine Parties were success- ful. The Hi-Y Hop, December 6, was another successful affair. A formal in- itiation of new members will be held on lune 16. The Triphi girls, too, were very active. They went on roller skating parties with the Saunders Hi-Y. The Christmas Dance was a social and fin- -126- ACTIVITIES OF 1939 ancial success. The Triphi's Second Annual Spring Dance held May 5 at the school gymnasium also proved their activity. Many enjoyable social evenings spent dancing rewarded the girls regular' attendance. Their hay- ride to Woodlawn on May 25 was a gay event. Art Club members provided posters, signs, and Commerce Festival tag-s. Their outstanding accomplishment was a beautiful school banner which without Mr. Lofthouse's boys' endeavors, would not be in the assembly now. Both their diligent efforts are to be commended. Commerce was represented as usual in the May Day Health Parade but the student body because of the full day schedule, were not able to see it as in former years. . Many socials and games were held in the big gym after school. Every Friday there was held a Ledger Dance in the small gym. The Concert given for mothers on March 22, under the direction of Mrs. Bashford was a worthy affair. A musical program was presented at the American Legion Auditorial Contest on May 24. They entertained guests at a Christmas Tea Dance. Every Thursday was group singing day for juniors and Seniors in the auditorium. Tuesday was the Sophomore's day for assembly. The Aniketos Debating Society had their usual share of success ana failure in the debates they entered. The sponsors, Mrs. LeC1erq and Mrs. Cur- ran, aided plans of the members for holding the first annual social May 31. Alpha Beta Phi was another club that was active. lts torturous initiation was enjoyed by all except the initiated. joseph Schepkowski, the new presi- dent planned an active program for the rest of the term. A roller skating party turned out successfully. A hike to Twamali and Forest View also afforded enjoyment. Tap Day brought a great deal of excitement and anticipation to members of the junior Class. At a Senior-junior assembly, ten girls and ten boys were selected from the junior Class as pledges and future members of the Arista and Skull and Key of 1939-40. The pledges were tapped in the assembly and introduced to the students present. The May Festival in which all the boys and girls in the school took part, took place on May 29 accompanied by appropriate music. The Social English classes entertained the faculty at teas given in the apartment. Farewell teas were given for teachers who left their positions at school. The Social English Club gave supper parties and tea dances, events which were social successes. Girls were chosen as models for a fashion ex- hibition of gowns from the Twelfth Century to this day from the Social English Classes and the Art Club. The exhibition was held on April 19. lt was spon- sored by the Traphagen School of New York City. The Gymnastic Prevue held and participated by sophomore girls and various groups of boys was one of the highlights of the school year. It was held on December 31, 1938. Senior poll votes were cast by the seniors to determine who among the seniors were best suited to various titles. jimmy Brooks and Mildred Weisen- see were chosen to reign as the most popular boy and girl of the senior class. The presentation of the school banner took place on April 28 in the auditorium. Ledger Day will be held june 14. The president of the Senior Class, Paul 1-lusenita, will present the year book to the teacher to whom it is dedicated, and then present a book to Mr. Baker, After this ceremony the seniors and underclassmen will receive their Ledgers. The Senior Boat Ride is scheduled for june 26 to the Atlantic Highlands. This will be two days after graduation, june 24, which event will take place at our own auditorium. -127- BOOK WEEK URING Book Week, the first Week in November, books are put on display in the school library, so that the pupils may become acquainted with the latest books. As the pupil enters the library, he finds himself Wandering in the land of authors. One table in the library is devoted to the newest fiction books. He opens a mystery book and comes directly upon a murder. lt seems so in- teresting that he signs up for it, so that he can get it when the books are put into circulation. The next table he passes is devoted to travel books. ln these books he finds the true experiences of travelers. He likes this one particularly, and decides that he will report on it for his next book report. He makes his reservation and thus becomes one of the l,l43 pupils who have made reser- vations for books. ' The other tables are covered with books on various subjects, most of which are of interest to the pupil. Book Week proves a great delight to high school pupils as they travel from table to table selecting books for future reading. STEPHANIE HALAT - 128 - SOCIAL ENGLISH 1' OOD afternoon. We are delighted to have you at our tea. This is what you hear as you enter the model apartment ot the Social English classes at Commerce, the setting for many teas held during the school year. At the first teas held by the Social English classes, the girls, under the direction of Mrs. Emilie K. losselyn, are taught to act as hostesses, to pour tea, and to act as guests at a tea. After the girls have gained experience and poise, teas are held once a month for members of the faculty, the Super- intendents of schools, the mothers and pupils. During the Christmas season the apartment is a picture of the true Christ- mas spirit With the Christmas tree in the corner, the tables set for tea, and the happy faces of girls as they go about performing their various pleasant duties.

IJ ...fm L o......1 K wr - HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1939 NCHORS aweighl Upon the sunlit waters a ship is seen leaving her port. lt is a new and untried sea that must be braved. There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortunep omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseriesf' With this in mind we eagerly think ahead, but, as the ship sails farther out, we are irresistably drawn to look back upon the familiar land and relive, in our memory, our senior high school years. Our beautiful new home and our old school too, as an old, dear friend, still retain intangible ties upon us that are intermingled with memories. When we first came to Commerce, we were lost in a maze of intricate halls. Every- thing was strange but not friendless. We soon became acquainted with the upperclassmen and launched upon many friendships that still exist. Our teachers were helpful and considerate, while our principal, Mr. Baker, took a sincere interest in our work and was ever ready to help or advise us. Our sophomore school year, which was spent in endeavoring to gain a foothold in both the scholastic and social fields of Commerce, seemed to end all too soon. After one of the happiest summers we've ever had, we returned to school in September half reluctantly and half anticipatingly. Once caught in the school's busy stride, we went willingly along, attempting to make our junior school year even better than the preceding sophomore year. Advancements were being made both socially and educationally. The long-awaited cooking classes were finally inaugurated. The Daily Readers' Club, an interesting and educational venture, was formed for the many who wanted to utilize the home room period. Probably the most popular inaugura- tion was the jam Session which regularly took place in the study hall during the fourth period. The orchestra was favorably commented upon by the Yonkers newspapers. Besides these and other activities, we began preparing for the annual exhibition at the Armory. Commerce gained enviable recognition during our junior year. Our short- hand team won the State Championship, with Dorothy Clark capturing the position of State Shorthand Champion. The Girls' Glee Club, under the direc- ticn of Mrs. Ieanette Bashford, sang from the National Broadcasting Company's studios in a coast-to-coast hookup. Our basketball and baseball teams re- flected the then prevailing enthusiastic school spirit. lt was astonishing to discover that the second term of that semester was well begun and almost over before we quite recovered from that eventful first term. The coming of May Day meant the annual parade which the student body turned out to see, and tap-day for the new members of the Honor Society. The ten girls selected as members of Arista were Anne Foster, Sylvia Horowitz, Alice Michnak, Mary Odomirok, Sophie Prusiewicz, Regina Roth, Virginia Tyrrell, Marie Wil- liams, Tillie Wojcik, and Irene Zachar. Skull and Key, the boys' Honor Society, was now composed of Iohn Fenick, Paul Husenita, Bill Kolesar, Gene Lane, Angelo Pascucci, joe Peko, Ralph Progner, joseph Schepkowski, Ray Spruck, and Steve Waricka. The exhibition at the Armory, which took place in Iune, was the last outstanding event of the year for us. The seniors of l938 were graduated on a beautiful june day and we juniors prepared to take the helm in September. A historic event occurred during our summer vacation of 1938-the Board of Education transferred Commerce to a beautiful new home. We were eager to use this fine school and prove that we were worthy of it. We have made use of it and we hope we have proved worthy of it. We needed a captain to guide our ship: so we chose a very stable and earnest leader, Paul Husenita. The other officers were Betty Ioseffer and Peggy McCoy, vice-presidents, Mary Odomirok, one of the four winners of the Lincoln Essay Contest for students of Westchester high schools, secretaryg and Honest joe Feke, treasurer. The precedent of two vice-presidents under specific conditions provided for in the class constitution has been established. Cur choice was wise, for our class has benefitted under its capable leadership. Many new and interesting events have occurred during our first year in the new Commerce. An interesting fact, also very complimentary, is that -140- Commerce has been proven by government statistics to be the best equipped commercial high school in the nation. Latest statistics, issued by the Place- ment Bureau of Commerce under the supervision of Mr. Worthington, show that 53.773 of last year's graduates are working. The splendid work done by this bureau is very encouraging to graduates. Now on to the new events. The Social English Club which was started during our sophomore year and sponsored by Mrs. Iosselyn, has become outstanding in its activities. The members have been busy with tea-dances and supper-parties. They made a varied assortment of stuffed animals which they gave away to hospitals and poor children for Christmas. The club gave farewell teas to departing teachers. The club's many social activities have made it one of the most desirable of all the clubs in Commerce, and the Social English classes have proven to be very interesting. Book Week was greater than ever before. Our new and large library is an attractive place where we enjoyed spending our time glancing over the books. There were as many as 416 new books issued for our senior Book Week. In the field of club activities a new club, the Beta Alpha Chi, the boys' supplement to the Gamma Alpha Chi, has been formed. This boys' Athletic Council now takes active part in the field of athletics formerly enjoyed by the girls' council only. lt is also interesting to note that the Physical Education classes are scheduled on a new five-day week basis. A unit on health education was organized by Mrs. loyner, the school nurse. Open House was held this year during the regular school hours instead of special night classes as formerly. Group singing became a regular Thursday home room event for the juniors and seniors. The speech groups entertained at many interesting assemblies with excellent plays. An Alumnae club for former Social English Club members was formed. That brought up the interesting question of whether the senior class should have an alumni organization similar to the colleges, inasmuch as high school, for the majority of our pupils is the last school attended. A socially successful Christmas Party for the seniors wound up the first term on a high note. Mr. Lofthouse's class worked industrially in their endeavor to raise funds for a Commerce banner. From the proceeds the Art Department was able to make a beautiful blue and white banner with the Commerce emblem. The banner was presented at a special assembly. This unselfish cause has been greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten soon. We deeply regretted to have Mr. john Whalen, our vocational guidance director leave us. Mr. Crossman, Hi-Y director and former English teacher, was honored with the position left vacant by Mr. Whalen. Another change was the planned retail selling course for graduates of any high school of Yonkers. This course plans to educate students further along the commercial line and give them schooling while they are seeking positions. Commerce had its lighter side too as evidenced by the interest in dancing. Through a census it was found that Artie Shaw's orchestra was the most popular with the Commerce students. Music appreciation was also shown by the fine concert for mothers that was given by the Girls' Glee Club. The close of the school year brought us closer to Regents and graduation -the picture has broken and we hopefully look ahead as we dock at the lost port to which the ship of Commerce may take us. IRENE ZACHAR ANCHORS AWEIGH Anchors aweigh, m' lads, Let us be gone, The way is unchartered, And it may be long. We don't know what's ahead of us, The journey may be perilous- So, anchors hoist, m' lads, Let us not linger, We have our ports to reach, And we'll reach 'em, by ginger. -Class Poet - 141 - ROOM 119 BILLING, TYPEWRITER, BOOKKEEPING. AND CALCULATING MACHINES HIS year the Machine Department has had many disappointments and upsets. Before the High School of Commerce moved to its present location, we believed that the rooms for the machine work would be among the first to be changed to fit our needs. Room ll5 was assigned to our Burroughs Calculators. Our work began at once and for the first time in the history of the school these machines re- main in their own rooms instead of being stacked away each night. Not until Easter did the Bookkeeping Machines have a home. Boom lO9 was then ready. Here we use a portable lister, the long carriage typewriter, Monroe Calculators, and posting machines for both banking and commercial post- ings. There are 3l machines in this room. The other machines are in Boom ll9 where a temporary arrangement allows us to use some of them. When Boom 117 is finished, there will be 34 machines in operation consisting of billing machines, adding machines, Monroe Calculators, and three kinds of posting machines-the National, the Dalton, and the Burroughs. We are very proud of our equipment and we hope, that next term, pupils will receive full instruction on these machines that seem so valuable to business of today. '-144- 1 ttf -'J I ,tnilitftff MY DE LUXE PASSPORT IRST of all, I rested a moment or two on the snow-capped mountains of South Mexico, next a row of Inca temples caught my eye, and lastly, I turned the page and found myself in the middle of Times Square, viewing the glittering panorama of the Great White Way! It was then that I came to the startling realization that books and a school library are first-class tickets to all roads of life. To run your fingers over the card catalog is to pull into every harbor and shake hands with all nature of peoples. I had nothing to do for the following period: so I packed my books under my chair and embarked on a non-stop tour to everywhere in general and nowhere in particular. An attractive green volume entitled City Editor caught my fancy, and, as I opened the cover, I found myself standing behind a linotype machine donning a green eye-shade and conversing with many famous figures in journalism. In boarding the good ship Gone With the Wind, l trade my eye- shade for a frock coat and jaunted through the romantic South of the l86U's. The magazine Stage was next in line, and now I faced the footlights and greeted my first-night audience! The period was drawing to a close and I nosed my ship of adventure into New York harbor and right into the High School of Commerce library. I had for fifty minutes read myself out of my ordinary circle of life and drifted to all four corners of the earth, met all sorts of people, from Henry Ford to Scarlet O'I-Iarap seen everything from the Civil War to the Big Tent at Barnum's-all through the passport of the printed page. That's what a school library means to me! A de luxe ticket from here to there, a ship that jumps oceans, an aeroplane that knows no ceiling zero! IOHN GBP-.DY -143 - CAFETERIA HE Cafeteria ot the High School oi Commerce Was opened in September l938. lt has been a successful proposition from the start, having received the wholehearted support of the iaculty and the entire student body. With a seating capacity ot only 302 the average daily attendance has been close to the thousand mark. The popularity ot the l0c hot plate has never Wanedy 300 oi the Ham on Rye or What have you varieties have been passed over the sandwich counter daily. The Milk Bar has been well patronized. A Manager and eight assistants have been employed throughout the year. lt the promised alterations materialize this summer, our cramped cooking quarters and our dining room facilities will be enlarged for a still bigger busi- ness season. We hope, we hope, We hope! fTfi,:?2f.iwEI1? 'n f'-A' 1,f' 'A f ' A A' Arm-ff' r t- , 1 -P 1- A-1,4-,mf f f.f'F'2 f- . WC W -'f f 'lnfvf'-EfQ3Ev2'2i23f . .
