Svnrkrr The Commercial High School Annual Socker football, now ranked as a major sport in Commercial, was first introduced into the school in 1906. From the very begin- ning the game proved popular and was taken up with great enthus- iasm by the students. Although we turned out a splendid team Dame Fortune Went back on us at the last moment. Zlllfl we lost the championship to Manual by half a point. ln 1907 we again turned out a first-class combinatiion which. although not so successful as the team of 1906, succeeded in capturing third honors.

Our next game, on November 7 against De lVitt Clinton High School, resulted in a victory for onli Opponents, by the score of 2 to 0. We then set to work in grim earnest and overwhelmingly defeated High School of Commerce by a score of 7 to' 0- This game was played on November 144. The next week, on November 21, we met Morris High in a hard-fought game and lost by a score of 3 to 1. y C The ,Rifle Club of Commercial High School, although a very young club, has been very successful. Early in 1908 the club was affiliated with the National Rifle Association, which will enable it to participate in more shoots than formerly. ' Prospects for success in 1909 are better than ever before. This is because no one on the present .team is above the fourth term. and consequently we shall have the same team for another year, unless some of the members leave school. Everything, therefore, points to our having achampionship team during the year of 1909. The majority of the members of the club are in the first and second terms. If they continue to practice as they are doing at present, they will be up to the standard of the first team in a very short time, and we shall have two teams that will undoubtedly make a 'name for themselves and for Commercial.
