Central High School of Commerce Argosy, 1947
This is the 1947 yearbook/literary magazine *The Argosy* from a Canadian commercial school. The issue features an editor's foreword by Diane Barnes (12-A) explaining the publication's return post-war; a principal's message by Gordon E. Price advocating against selfish attitudes; staff and business organization rosters; and student literary content. The fiction includes "The Root of All Evil" by Albert Chovaz (11A), a humorous essay about teenage infatuation and monetary exploitation; "My Greatest Blunder" by Dorothy Flewelling (11B), detailing a freshman's embarrassing confusion of a janitorial closet for the school office; and "The Dangers of Argument" (author partially obscured in OCR), examining financial, physical, and mental consequences of disputes.
