W The outlook for the 1954 Commerce Golf team looks very promising. We still have with us the following members of the 1953 golf team: Harry Glus, Tony York, Richie Gerloff, and Ronnie Brannigan. We were sorry to lose Don Trues- dale, who moved to the middle-west, but we were fortunate to recruit another member with equal ability, Ray Juback. With this fine nucleus, we hope to win the city championship. The sponsor of this golf team is Mr. William Gawchik. i Left to Right Row l: R. Skrobola, E. Stefanik, R. Brannigan, V. Autero, J.

Burns Baseball is the next sport to take the interest of the school. At this early date, we do not want to sound too optimistic - although we only have one player from last year's team of champs, we hope to have a repeat performance of last year's games. 105
