COMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1911 ftlilass iBuem IRA BARZILAY, ,II Commerce, now we must leave thee, Though our hearts are filled with grief, To enter the strenuous Battle of Life, A battle which oft is brief. Long have we sailed i11 thy good ship, And under thy gallant crew, And we'1l ne'er forget the cruise we've made, VVith the Orange and the Blue. Though 'we'll look back at what we've done, And utter a sigh of relief, Though we'll be free from Assemblies and tests, VVe part from thee in grief. Though many have been the struggles, And many the days of strife, Yet, Commerce, you've prepared us To dare the tight of lifeg Commerce, although we must leave you, To strive in tields anew, VVe'l1 always bear in mind our debt To the Orange and the Blue. Now is the time to say Farewe1l,,' Farewell to thee, Commerce High, VVe wish you all thatls good in this world 3 WV e wish you a heartfelt good-bye. '57

COMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1911 CLASS OF FEBRUARY, 1911 gf'-e 'QS F course, Commerce could have gotten along without the Class I I ' of February, 1911, but it would have taken a good many years to find a group of fellows capable of taking their places. SLQA, -Ji Some classes in years gone by have excelled in scholarship, and some in athletics 5 but the Class of February, 1911 has had the proud distinction of excelling in both. Tts members were managers and captains of various athletic teams, and the Caravel lost by the February graduation its Editor-in-Chief, two associates, and its Business Manager. The class was ably represented in the literary societies and other clubs. On Monday, January 23, 1911, the first annual class dinner was given at Healey's restaurant. The invited guests were Dr. Sheppard and Messrs. Bryan, Heydrick, Mills and Healey. The dinner was an enjoyable event. On January 27th the Class Day Exercises were held. Theprogram consisted of the Court Room Scene from the Merchant of Vence, followed by a burlesque on the same, entitled The Merchant of Texasf' The burlesque was written by Lang and Lubarsky and coached by Mr. Roessler. Mr. Heydrick coached the 'lgenuineu production. This closed the career of the Class of February, 1911, in Commerce. To-day its members are engaged in active pursuits, the good results of which are due to the thorough training they received in Commerce. P OFFICERS JACK EASTMENT ..................... .........
