Dist. at East. Dist.. 254 262 The members of the team were: Captain Serwer, johnson, Weil, VVe1den, Ep- stein, Vogell, St. John, Katz, Macsoud, Shapiro, Schminke and Chatfield. I Commerce also had a second team that did good work, winning eight of its ten matches. In the P. S. A. L. Matches held at Madison Square Garden, in connection with the Motor Boat Show, Commerce took second place in the Du Pont Matchg third place in the Sub Target Matchg and fourth place in the New York State Rifle Asso- ciation Match CCity f'Champs. J. Besides this showing, we came out second in the number of boys winning the N. R. A. Marksmen Medals, making a total of sixty- one fellows to Morris' total of sixty-two. The season was one of the most successful that the Rifle Team has had in years, and both Dr. Foster, the Coach, and Manager Barzilay, should be compli- me'nted for the good showing of the team. The team takes this opportunity to thank them for the time they devoted to it. THE EMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT EO VERY commercial school has an Employment Departmentg some just S for advertising purposes, others as a matter of course, and a few for Q - '43 actual use. The Employment Bureau of the High School of Commerce 61 is of the bona fide sort. Under the direction of our great iinancier and 5' , economist, Mr. Alexander L. Pugh, many positions of prominence are given to Commerce men. Sometimes, when a bank or railroad is in need ot a president or director, they apply to Mr. Pugh for candidates, but when they are in need of an oilice boy, they do not apply for candidates-they simply ask for a fellow-rand get one. The positions secured for Commerce men are generally well-paying ones. It is worth your while to keep on the right side of Mr. Pugh, for he is liable to secure you a position with the greatest concerns of the day, even though it is only as oiiice boy or messenger. 4I

COMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1911 TEAM JAMES BIOONAN, Manager G. LANE, Captain - Mr. P. ROTHERHAM, Coach Although the response to the call for candidates this year was by no means en- couraging, and three of the six veterans of last year's team were unable to swim on account of ineligibility and domestic causes, the swimming team finished the season greatly to its credit. At the beginning of the year, Mr. Frank O'Neil, a former Com- merce man, assisted Coach Rotherham in selecting and rounding the team into form. The members of the team now take the liberty to thank both men for their work in behalf of the team. With the team not fully organized, they swam the first P. S. A. L. Meet with Townsend Harris Hall on January 6th, Though defeated by the score of 31-13, the team was by no means discouraged. Lemcke won the 50-yard dash in 30 seconds fiat, equaling the P. S. A. L. record. Prior to the rest of the P. S. A. L. Meets, the team engaged in two contests with Barringer and St. Paul, and were beaten in both cases by the scores of 30-23 and 40-22 respectively. In the Barringer meet, Commerce was ahead by one point, 23-22, but the lads from Newark won the relay race, and carried off the meet. The second P. S. A. L. meet was with Clinton on February 3d, and although humbled by the score of 40-4, our team forced Clinton to establish new marks in two events, But the results of the hard work of the team now showed itself. On February Ioth we downed Boys' High by an overwhelming score of 40-13, Commerce winning first place in every event but one. The Erasmians then journeyed from Brooklyn on February 17th, only to be beaten by the score of 25-IQ. The last two, being P. S. A. L. meets, gave Commerce an even break. with two contests won and two lost. On March 10111 a tournament was held between the High Schools of New York, in which seven schools competed. Ill fortune. however, pursued us. ,In the first place two men could not enter on account of ineligibility. The team was then entered in but four events. In the relay, only two of the four men swam, and when the fifty-yard event came around, Lemcke, after swimming his heat handily, was dis- qualified for swimming out of his course. Nevertheless, the team finished third to Clinton and Townsend Harris Hall, with five points, scored by Kallman, who fin- ished second in the plunge, and Walsh and Neuse, each finishing fourth in the 220 and plunge, respectively. The last meet of the season was held with Montclair, who defeated us by the score of 34-10, which is good considering the fact that Mont- clair beat Clinton. Great praise is dne james Moonan. the Manager, who worked very hard in his endeavor to secure a good team, The splendid work of Lemcke and Neuse throughout the entire season brought to Commerce many points. The rest of the team consisted of Nicholas, lfValsh, Kallman, Fulton, Masterson, Reaske, Sklarz, Byrne. Geohegen, Malinen and Captain Lane. DATE SCHOOL OPPTS. COMM. DATE FCI-IOfL OPPTS.
