Central High School of Commerce Argosy, 1937

This document is the 1937 yearbook (fifth volume) of Central High School of Commerce in Hamilton, Canada. The publication contains the standard yearbook contents: staff listings, class photographs, alumni notes, poetry, humor pieces, athletics reports for boys' and girls' teams including rugby, hockey, basketball, volleyball, and water polo, commencement information, and school social news. The magazine features two editorials. The first, by Editor-in-Chief A. Andrew Merrilees, celebrates the school's growth from scattered locations in 1933 to housing 1,122 students by 1937, making it Hamilton's largest commercial education center. The second editorial, also by Merrilees, titled "And to Thine Own Self Be True," draws from *David Copperfield* to discuss character development. Using Uriah Heep as a cautionary example of false humility, Merrilees argues against excuse-making and encourages young students to pursue ambitions despite economic hardship and self-doubt, citing Dorothea Brande's *Wake Up and Live!*
