ARTHUR SCHULTZE, PH.D ARTHUR SCHULTZE, PI-LD. RTHUR SCHULTZE was born in Naumburg, Germany, March 30, 1860. After graduating from the German Gymnasium, he studied at the Universities of Berliniand Kiel, where he showed a remarkable talent for mathematics, and took the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in that subject. In 1887 he accepted a position' as, instructor of mathematics in the Friedrich VVerderschule, Berlin. In the..same year he published his Hrst book, 'fThe Propagation of Heat in a Homogeneous Rectangular Parallelo- piped. Two years later he was appointed to a position in the State Mining Bureau of San Francisco, which he held till 1890, when he was appointed instructor of mathematics in the Hoboken Academy. In 1897 he was elected principal of the Academy, but resigned the position to accept an appointment in the De Witt Clinton High School. , His connection with the High School of Commerce dates from 1902, when, at the formation ofthe school, he was chosen chairman of the Depart- ment of Mathematics. P , Dr. Schultze is known' not only as a highly successful teacher but as the author of a series of Igteit-books which have had a marked influence upon mathematical teaching.llfIfh,efiHrst of these was his Plane and Solid Geometry, published in 1901. successof this led to the publication of his Ele- mentary Algebraw in 1505, followed by the Advanced Algebrau in 1906, and Graphic Algebra in 1907. His latest work, The Teaching of Mathematics in Secondary Schools,', has just appeared from the press. He is at present a Fellow of the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science, and a member of the American Mathematical Society. Since 1905 he has held the position of Assistant Professor of Mathematics in New York University. ' A Q In his ten years' connection with the High School of Commerce, Dr. Schultze has won for himself a secure place in the esteem of thousands of students. ln recognition of this fact, the Board of Editors has dedicated this book to him in appreciation of his high ability and in recognitionof his untiring efforts to maintain high standards of scholarship.

The Board has en- deavored 'to solve this problem by condensing the ancient history as much as possible Without converting it into an uninteresting outline. The Board encountered another problem Which, however, Was insur- mountable. ln past years the YEAR BOOK has been issued about the beginning of June, and all the athletic events which took place during the months of Nlay and June had to remain unrecorded. The succeeding YEAR BOOK made no record of these events, nor has the Athletic Association kept an account of them. Unable to obtain these facts, We have been forced to omit them. We offer this brief explanation to those of our readers Who are inclined to be critical, hoping that it will answer their criticisms to their entire satis- faction. ' We Wish to extend our heartiest thanks to those members of the Faculty who have assisted us in the publication of this volume, in particular, to Messrs. Heydrick and Carleton for their valuable suggestions and general supervision of the literary department, to hir. Carter for his aid in the art department, and to Nlr. Koopman for his valuable assistance in regard to the business management. ' ,I 16 QUMlXfl.liRClQ YEAR BO0K,1912 TEN YEARS CF CQMMERCE HISTQRY T is now ten years since the High School ofCommerce started on its eventful career, and there is no doubt that these ten years have justified the Board of Education in forming it. Beginning in 1902 with a total register of 650 students, the school has grown so rapidly that the building which in 1903 was considered far too large for such a small register is now too small to hold the register of 2500. In 1902 the idea was conceived of forming a high school that should prepare young men not only to become efficient stenographers and book- keepers, but also to assume the responsibilities attendant upon the management of big business concerns. With this end in view the Board of Education established, in September, 1902, the New York High School of Commerce-the Hrst high school of its kind in the country. Dr. James Sheppard, head of the History department of De Witt Clinton High School, was placed in charge of the 650 students and 28 teachers that claimed the top floor of PI S. 67, at 46th St. and Broadway, for their home. . The majority of the students, as well as of the faculty, had come from De VVitt Clinton, yet, -as soon as the school had settled down to work, an antagonism toward Clinton was developed which still exists. Commerce Spirit sprang up like mushrooms in the night. Two literary societies were immediately' formed: the Carnegie and the Webster. When the school as a result of its rapid growth, sent a portion of its students to a building in 52nd Street, near 2nd Avenue, the Webster immediately established an annex in that building. ' In athletics, too, the students were all enthusiasm. The school had no sooner begun work than a football team was formed, then a basketball team, a track and a baseball team, all under the guidance of the Athletic Asso- ciation. 1 , 5 When the school year was nearly over the upper termers established the precedent which is responsible for this volume: the publication of a year book. It was a modest little volume, that first year book, about the size of the present-day Caravel, but it served its purpose well. 1 In September, 1903, the High School of Commerce began the second year of its existence in the present building in 65th Street. The students were for a long time severely handicapped by a lack of proper .working facilities, but they were nevertheless proud of their new home. The activity in the school continued, two language clubs were formed: the Cercle Francais and the Deutscher Verein, and as the membership of the literary societies was increasing too rapidly, the Junior and the Senior Literary Societies were organized. ln this year, too, a Glee Club was formed, which won much praise throughout the school. A 1 7 c0MMERcE YEAR B0014, 1912 When the school year began in Sepfembelk 1904, COYTIITICYCC Was a fully developed school, in June it sent out its first graduating class, and the class immediately formed an Alumni ASSOCi2l'fi0U, which WHS en- larged by the February class, and has been well supported ever since. Inside the school two new societies were formed, the Chess Club and the Dramatic Society, both of which made very promising beginnings. In athletics the school was also prosperous, especially in the case of the rifle team, which became the proud possessor of a sub-target gun presented by General Wingate. It was in 1906, however, that athletics were especially successful. The football team of that year won undisputed claim to the high school football championship of the East. The basketball team defeated all its opponents in the league, and was tied with Boys' High for the championship. This year also marked the formation of the Camera Club, the Tennis Club, and the German singing societity, Fidelitas. The Dramatic Society produced a play in Berkeley Lyceum Theatre, which was so successful that, although entitled For One Night Qnly, it ran for two nights, the proceeds of the second presentation being donated to the fund for the survivors of the San Francisco Fire. 1907 marked not only the fifth year of the school's existence, but also the beginning of the Commerce Cara1JeZ,'which was the result of a desire felt by many of the students of the school for a publication that would keep a permanent record of the minor events in the school's activities that could not be treated in the YEAR BOOK., This book, on its part, had developed in five yearsinto a handsome cloth-bound volume , and in 1907 the graduating class published the largest edition up to the present: a book of about 168 pages. The year 1908 started a new era for the High School of Commerce. It marked the organization of the Commercial Club, the Strollers, and the Chem- istry Club. The school was especially pleased li not from any selfish motivesj by the appointment of Dr. James Sullivan as Principal' of the Brooklyn. Boys' High School. In 1910 the faculty suffered the loss of another of their number by the same route, the appointmentof Dr. John' L. Tildsley as Principal of De Witt Clinton High School. g Within the last few years Commerce has broadened out in all spheres of work. The organizations have multiplied and increased in size, the Athletic Association has never been so successful as in the last two or three years, the Commerce Carafvel has been named the best high school monthly in the United States, the faculty has increased to a present total of about 90, while the student body now numbers nearly 2500. This large increase in the register has resulted in the formation, in February, 1912, under the supervision of Dr. Alfred C. Bryan, of an Annex in the same building in which Commerce started its career ten years ago. D Let us hope Commerce will continue its efforts, and that the history of its second decade may be even more illustrious than its first. 18 ' .4 in W!

COMMERCE YEAR 120014, 1912 TI-IE STCDRY QF TI-IE YEAR FTER a long, lazy summer vacation, about 2-IOO students entered Commerce feeling Ht for work, and the majority happy that school ' P had commenced. Among the number came a small army of freshmen, somewhat awed by the stories of initiation told them by the upper-termers. Work was started with a vim, and it was not long before the regular routine was in operation. In February our school proved to be so popular among the elementary school graduates that it was impossible for the main building to handle the deluge of new pupils, and an Annex under the direction of Dr. Bryan took care of the overflow. The total enrollment was 2500, an in- crease of 600 over that of the preceding February. During the school year athletics were generously supported by the student body and the teams representing the differentsports were especially successful. Organizations were well sustained and a number of old ones brought to life. A new publication, The Hand Book, edited by Dr. Walker, made its appearance during the year 5 the edition sold so well that it promises to. become a permanent feature. j T As usual, ,Friday assemblies were made interesting by the visits of notable men who spoke to the school on various subjects. Among the speakers may be mentioned Dr. John L. Elliot of the Ethical Culture School, Mr. Dwight W. Edwards, who is well acquainted with conditions in China, Dr. John P. Peters of St. Michael's Church, Zaung Teh Ing of Peking, China, and John N. Greer of the Central High School, Minnesota.. A one-act play, lVIiss Civilization, given by the Dramatic Society, and the monthly con- certs rendered by the orchestra, were additional attractions which made Friday afternoon something to look forward to. U I ,The increase in the size of the school warranted a like increase in the faculty, and about twenty new instructors were added to the teaching force, the majority of them going to the Annex. The 'plan of having an assembly for the upper-termers on Monday morning was abolished and instead they are allowed a study period. This year the system of coaching classes came into general use, and everything possible is done to make the backward boy improve in his lessons. I ' The year 1911-1912 hasproved to be a banner one in the history of Commerce, and if future years witness as great an improvement in the activity and life of the school, we may feel sure that the good 'ship Commerce will continue to sail bravely on. . 19 ' . S E E 3 'I 'gag COMMERCE HIGH SCHOOL ANNEX COMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1912 THE CQMMERCE ANNEX WING to the great increase in the number of pupils who have entered the High School of Commerce Within the last few years, an Annex was organized in February, 1912, occupying the top floor of P. S. 67, at Sixth Avenueiiand 46th St. lt Was in this same building that the High School of Commerce began its career as a commercial school just ten years ago, With practically the same number of pupils. The total register When the Annex Was organized amounted to four hundred and fifty boys, divided into eleven classes. Dr. Bryan was put in charge, assisted by eleven other members of the faculty. The class rooms are separated by rolling doors, the Assembly is held, as it is every noon from 12.30 to'1'.oof'P. doors are rolled back, forming one large assembly room. - . 7 - The course 'of study,.given the same as that in the main building. The students havealreadxy ifiorganiizedl.-itwo clubs, a literary society, and a chess and checker 'clu-bf. 'In the fellows have been especially active. lnterclass tournaments' in the' variousi sports have been held, and there has even been talk of forming an Annex Baseball Team. 1 This enthusiasmxought to be an incentive to the upper termers to do something to keep up their end of the old Commerce spirit. . :GIASPSA M V4 - 'I ...:..v X'q - jd' 'I sry!

Second year: Medieval and Modern History-three hours a week. Third year: English History-three hours a week. Fourth year: United States History and Civics-four hours a week. As this course did not seem adapted to the needs of the school, the members of the Department felt that a radical change was necessary. They set to work and developed the present course of study, which gives a thor- ough treatment of the commercial and industrial side of history. The History Department, when first organized, consisted of the follow- ing corps of instructors: Messrs. Sullivan and Smith of the De Witt Clinton High School, Dr. Tildsley of Morris High School, and Mr. P. O. Robinson of the St. Louis High School. Mr. A. C. Fontaine of the French Depart- ment also taught several classes in History. - During the year 1903 -Mr. J. F. Wilson was added and Mr. Jameson of the English Department also took a few classes. In 1904 Dr. Tildsley devoted himself entirely to the teaching of Economics and Mr. Wilson left to become head of the History Department of the Stuyvesant High School. Their places were taken by Messrs. T. C. Trask, R. B. Page and Dr. A. C. Bryan.: In 1905 Mr. Smith left to become principal of P. S. 32 in Brooklyn, and in 1906 Mr. E. D. Lewis enteredlthe Department in his place. ' The year 1907-1908 marked a few more changes. Dr. Sullivan, the Chairman of the Department, and Mr. P. O. Robinson left us, Dr. Sullivan beingisucceeded by Dr. A. C. Bryan. In 1910 Mr. Trask was transferred and his place was filled by Dr. G. H. Porter. In 191 1 the school suffered a severe loss by the death of Dr. R. B. Page. He had won a place in the hearts of many hundreds of Commerce boys both by his zeal and sincerity in the class-room and by the interest he displayed in the boys' pastimes. His loss was keenly felt by all who knew him. iMr. Alfred S. Beatman joined the faculty in 1911 and in February, 1912, Mr. E. D. Lewis became acting Chairman of the Department, Dr. A. C. Bryan becoming Principal of the Annex. ' DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS W' Economics, the social science of business, is one of the most important subjects in any commercial course. The High School of Commerce ranks first among secondary schools in the amount and character of work done in Economics. 23 ,.,,,,,,ERQ13 YEAR Boort, 1912 In the ,irq ,.e.,r uf the school. the boys who had previously taken third L E'onomics and Commercial Geography. tear History were permitted to ta 'e L In the Scwmi WH of the School all first year boys were given a course of inc period -i week in the Commercial GCOETHPIW Of NSW York CRY- The J , + i . m'.,-lu,ur course in New York City lndustries and New York City Govern- ment for the lirst and second term bo5'S, 1'C5PCCtlVC1Y, WHS introduced In SCP' ,,.,,,l,H, mpg, This course replaced the work in History for the first year bots, .-Xt the beginning of the fifth year, 1906-1907, Z1 HCW COUTSC WHS guliled on the Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the United States, given one liour 11 week in the third and fourth, fifth and sixth terms. l-'rom the founding of the school to December, 1908, the Work of the - Jepgirtinent of lieonomies was under the supervision of Dr. John L.

He succeeded to the Chairmanship in 1-1118, when Dr. Tildsley became Principal of the De Witt Clinton High St-li-iol. lit. XN'alker in September, 1908, helped out the Department by giiing his entire time to the first term work.

Cheston, and Mr. VVilliam P. lVIanguse. Dr. Schultze and Mr. Manguse still teach Mathematics, while Dr. Cheston has become head of the Physics Department. In February, 1904, Mr. John D. Minnick, the present chairman of the department, and Mr. VVilliam Hance began teaching the subject, in IQO5 Mr. llarion J. lWayo was added to the list. In 1906 lllessrs. William S. Schlauch and Alfred H. Lewis were enrolled to H11 the vacancies left by the appointment of two old members of the department to other positions. In 1910 Mr. Mayo took a position as head of department in another school, and Mr. Kahn was drafted from the Language Department to fill his place, While Mr. Hance divided his time between Physics and Mathematics. In the present term Messrs. J. S. Boman, S. Goldstein, A. D. Zvveibel, and R. L. Swanton have been added to this department. At the Annex lllr. A. H. Lewis is the regular teacher of this subject, while Mr. J. F. Cronin is acting as substitute. I DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES - The aim of the Department of Languages is to make the instruction as practical as possible, so that the students, after completing the course, shall be able to make use of their knowledge of a foreign tongue in business. At the time of its formation the German branch of the department consisted of three teachers: Messrs. Kutner, Elmer, and Kauffman. Gf these, only Mr. Kutner, who was chairman of the department from 1902 to 1909, is with us today. Some of the teachers who have been members of the department since IQO2 but have accepted other positions are: Messrs. Mannhardt and Krause, now at the Jamaica High School, Mr. Uline, now principal of an elementary school, Mr. Price, Inspector of Modern Language Teaching in the State of New York, Dr. Kahn, now in the Mathematics Department. I Mr. Blume entered the department in the fall of 1910, Messrs. Hartung and Montross in the spring of 1911, Messrs. Remy and Rochow in the fall of IQII, Mr. Skipp in the spring of 1912. Mr. E. W. Roessler' entered the department in the fall of 1904, and became chairman in February, 1909. The teachers of French in 1902 were Mr. C. Fontaine, Mr. A. C. Fontaine and Mr. Paul Jeannin. The latter died in France in June, 1906, and his loss has been keenly felt ever since. In 1908 Mr. A. C. Fontaine left us to go to Boys' High School, in the following year Mr. L. Sinagnan was added to the department. Mr. C. Fontaine became assistant professor at Columbia University in 1910. Since that time Messrs. Skinner and Flatow have been added. aa 25 X... ,iixlXIl-INCH YEAR BUCK, 1912 lJlfPAR'l'3llfX'li OF COMMERCIAL BRANCHES Us Ufalmizetl there was a Business Department, ..,1,g,i, included hoth Commercial Branches and Stenography and Typewriting.

Ward Crampton and Messrs. lwillette, Boyd and Robinson. In 1903 the department was reorganized under the chairmanship of Mr. Payne in the three rooms on the fifth floor north of the present building. Dr. Walter H. Eddy and Mr. R. C. Usborn were added to the staff in September of 1903. The entire work was in the hands of these three menifor that year. Before 1904 a great increase in the number of pupils brought about the addition of Messrs. C. VV. Hahn and Willis H. Grant. In February, 1905, Mr. Payne having resigned the chairmanship, Dr. Eddy was appointed to that office. In 1907 Dr. Osborn was made assistant professor of Zoology in Columbia University, his position was taken by Mr. Chester A. Matthewson. In 1910 Mr. Matthewson was transferred to the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers and was succeeded by Mr. Wm. C. Barbour. The present staff consists of Dr. Eddy, chairman, Messrs. Frank 0. Payne, Wm. C. Barbour, Willis H. Grant Q absent on leavel, Clarence W. Hahn, Harvey B. Clough and Fred J. Hartwell. Dr. Ralph C. Benedict has been substituted in Mr. Grant's place and it is the hope of the department to make him a permanent member. Mr. Barbour and lVIr. Hartwell have charge of the work in the Annex. DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY ,. Of all the departments in the High School of Commerce probably none has struggled 'against so many hardships as the Department of Chemistry. It began work in a small-sized room with imperfect equipment and almost no materials. Laboratory work was impossible and recours.e was had to demonstration. When the High School of Commerce established itself in the new building there was neither gas, water, nor tables. Alcohol lamps were used to heat the chemicals, the boys .brought the water up to the class- room inc pails, and desks were put together from boards. In September, 1904, laboratory work was begun, although gas was not available until the spring of 1905. 1 ' . V The first class in Chemistryiwas begun in September, 19012, with Dr. Cheston of the Physics Department in charge of the work. At the beginning of the spring term in 1903, Mr. Mills entered the department and he was given five classes, Dr. Cheston retaining one. When Mr. Bennett joined the department in the fall of 1903, Dr. Cheston was relieved of all work in Chemistry. Further additions to the department were those of Dr. Walker in the fall of 1904 and Mr. Flynn in 1906. Dr. Walker, besides teaching in this department, is also helping in the Economics Department. He is well qualified to do this as he has made a special study of both local and national industries. 27 1 r eoxtxtritce YEAR B001c, 1912 DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS Ftllltfllt has been. from the beginning, under the supervision of Ur Henri' C.

In IQO4, when NIL Brown left, his place was mlten lu Nlr. l-'orest Grant. who has retained that position ever since. Mr. Ratmonrl Carter, who entered the department in 1903, has been the associate eter sinee. Due to the growth in the size of the drawing classes, Mr. 5l'f3l!lH' was added in 1910. :X very practical and interesting course of study is given by this depart- ment. A Thus. coloring and lettering are taught in the first year. Decorative designing and the use of color in letters in relation to large advertisements .ind posters are taught in the second year. In the third year, the student can t roost hr oun course. He can take either advanced advertising, taking up y e-marks. newspaper advertising, business cards, stationery, car card and magazine designs for trail Page ?ldVCftiSingg or free-hand drawing, taking up per- d Still life, drawing objects with background and IFUUPS of still life: or finally, iPi'k.tiYl' of f0l'n1S an mechanical drawing, taking up the various pments and intersections. 28 Y.: , ' - . , ' ' Mmlf I Pflvjectxon. surface develg COMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1912 DEPARTMENT QF PHYSICAL TRAINING The Physical Training Department was organized in 1902 with Dr. C. Wa1'd Crampton in charge, Mr. William B. Boyd acting as assistant. During the year 1906-1907 Dr. C. Ward Crampton was promoted to be assistant director of Physical Training in the New York City Schools. He was succeeded by Dr. Albert K. Aldinger. In the year 1907-1908 Dr. W. H. Foster and Messrs. PH. Aldinger and M. Jones were added to the department. Dr. A. K. Aldinger and Mr. Jones left in 1908-1909. Dr. Aldinger was appointed assistant to Dr. Crampton, who had been appointed Director -of Physical Training in the Public Schools. The place of Dr. Aldinger was: taken by Mr. H. Aldinger, while that of Mr. Jones, who had left to become Inspector of Athletics, was taken by Mr. P. J. Rotherham. The organization of this department has been planned primarily to give each student suc hsupervision, instruction and experience as will enable him to realize his own peculiar health possibilities and formulate intelligently his own policy of personal health control during his student years and also in after life. H y - . DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC- The Nlusic Department was originally in charge of Mr. Franklin W.. Robinson, but when he left us in 1908 to become a member of the faculty of the Institute of Musical Art, New York City, we were left without any lllusical Department, unitl Mr. N. Lindsay Norden was appointed in 1909 to reorganize it.

It won the Metropoli- tan High School League Meet, which was symbolic of the championship of New York. Enough credit cannot be given to Capt. Richard Geis, and Coach Andre Fontaine for the team's excellent work. X Baseball was the next sport taken up. A team was formed, one which labored under the same difficulties as all its predecessors, that of having no practice grounds. A poor start was the natural result, but as the men became used to playing together the team improved, and developed into a fast and reliable aggregation. It wound up a very successful season by winning the Metropolitan League championships. I Coach-MR. WM. P. MANGUSE Captain-ROWLAND PATTERSON Team. Position. R Te-am. Position.

This was the first of what were hoped would be annual occurrences. The outdoor season was even more successful than the indoor. The team cleaned up Morris and'Clinton handily in dual meets, and sent seven men to the St. Louis Exposition to take part in the Inter-City lVIeet.

This four performed consistently all season, and finally broke the American record for the high school mile relay, establishing a mark of 3 minutes, 34 3-5 seconds. Baseball prospects were hampered by the resignation of lVIr. Klanguse from the position of coach, but Mr. Hance came to the rescue and took the reins in his hands.

WILLIAM STRONG, Captain - FRANK MCCAFFREY,' Coabh RQSPFCTS for a successful football season during 1911 were bright from the start. Seven veterans from the team of 1910 returned to school. 'With these veterans as a basis, Coach FrankMcCaffrey, end on the Fordham College team of 1908, and end. on the All-American second team of that year, proceeded to mold' a team. The vacant positions were filled by the new material, which consisted mainly of members of the second team of 1910, who had received their preliminary training from Frank F. 0'N eil, coach of the second team. Every man 'filled his position with the pluck and vim that characterized the general play during the ,season of 1911. The season opened on Qctober 7, when Captain Strong ledihis team up to Peekskill to play the. strong team of 'Peekskill Military Academy. In a hard-fought game in which Blodgett, 'Haas ,S and Blenio played well for Commerce, we came out the victors by the score of IO to 6.9 Our next game was with Boys'- High, our ancient hoodoo, at Saratoga Field, Brooklyn. Boys' High lived up to her reputation, and although we were by far the superior team, they managed to defeat us by the scoreof 3 to 0. This defeat did not discourage the team, and when, on October 28, we played Stuyvesant we defeated them in a driving rainstorm by the score of 21 to 0. We followed up our victory over Stuyvesant by a v-ictory over Erasmus, last year's champions of Greater New York, by a score of I5 to 0. ,In this game Tow showed that although he ,weighed but one hundred and twenty pounds he could ablyitfill the position of' quarter back. We played, Morris on November17,'Election Day, at American League Park. Mo,rris drew Hrst blood by scoring on. an intercepted forward pass, but we came back with plenty of vim and defeated-them by a score o-f I7 to 6. The .Saturday following the Morris game we went over to Washington Park, Brooklyn, and played Manual Training High School. Wegotthe jump on the Brooklyn boys right from the start, Tow carrying the ball over the line in the first quarter, and in the second quarter Blodgett drop-kicked an easy field goal from the' 47 , coivritrracie 'YEAR BooK,'1912 twenty-yard line. The half ended with the score 9 to 0 in our favor. ln the second half lVIanual managed to score by blocking one of Freer's onside kicks which rolled over our line and Tow was forced to fall on it. There was no more scoring after this and Commerce left the field the victors by the score of 9 to 2. Qn October IQ and November 25 we played St. Peter's Preparatory School and Yonkers High School, respectively, meeting defeat at the hands of both. However, these two defeats had no effect on our standing in regard to the championship of Greater NewiYork, to which we had a clear title up to Thanksgiving Day. 1 Cn this day, November 30, we met Clinton at American League Park. The stands were packed with great masses of humanity, and it is said that it was the largest crowd that ever witnessed a. scholastic football game. The incidents of this game have been told again and again, and it is unnecessary to dwell at great length on them here. Boiling it down, we lost! Tn looking back on the game we can truly say that Commerce lost on account of the lack of substitutes. We outplayed Clinton in,every department of the game during the first three periods, but in the fourth period Clinton put in a number of new men, who gradually pushed our tired lads down the field and with two minutes left to play, Davis, Clinton's husky tackle, drop- kicked a field goal from our twenty-yard line, for what proved to be the only score of the game, Clinton leaving the field shortly after, the victors by the score of 3 to o, and the champions of Greater New York. The prospects for a fine team in 1912 are excellent, as eight members of the 1911 team will be with us next fall, and a large number of Buck,' O'Neil's proteges who played on the 'fCubs last fall will also be in school.

Of the eight games played, the Cubs lost but two, and these were lost to the first teams of Green- wich High School .and Curtis High School. Their goal line was never crossed by a second team, and they accomplished that which has never been accomplished since 1907: the defeat of a Clinton second team. Yonkers, who has beaten our second team with a- regularity which has been all but discouraging, was well beaten by a score of IO to O. lylontclair lylilitary Academy was beaten 5ito O when Captain Rapp, on a fumbled punt, picked up the ball and dashed across the line for the only score of the game. T VV ith the exception of Captain Rapp and Raffo, the team was a green band of players, all of which were rounded into shape by Coach O'Neil. Schmidt, O'Heir, Frazer, Hagemeyer, and Wieners were all worthy of playing on the first teams of most of the high schools of the city.

Although there were a number of veterans back inschool, it did, not seem as if the open positions Would be Hlled With competent men, and the chances of a Well-balanced team seemed very remote.

Although llffanual won, the team showed better form than in the Boys' Highgame. .Our next game was played November 4th with Clinton, and in Q hard-fought game we defeated the boys from Fifty-ninth Street by a score of 1 to O. i R 1 . The team was beginning to show better form, and on November 18th they tied the strong team of Curtis High School, I-I. November 25th saw the team in its best form, when they held the championship team of T. H. H. to a 2-2 tie. In this game the team played wonderfully well, showing the results of Mr. Hartung's eHicient coaching.- The next game was with Erasmus, and was easily won by the score of 2-O.

GoDwrN, Manager S. SWERLING, Captain DR. VV. L.

The result of their consistent practicing was shown in the first runqagainst Boys' High on Qctober 21. In this run our boys took the first five places, winning by a score of I2 to 29. Cur next run was ,on October 28, with Eastern District, whom we easily defeated by agscore of IQ to 85. Cn November 4 a time trial was held on our course and Capt. Swerling established a new record of I7 minutes, I7 4-jseconds. On November I5 we defeated Commercial by a score of 19 to 47, Capt. Swerling finishing, as usual, in first place, and Rapport in third place. November 2 5 we ran Clinton and swamped them by the score of I7 to 47, our boys taking the first three places. ' On December 2, the P. S. A. L. Championship Cross-Country'Run was held at Celtic Park: Morris won the championship with 63 points., and we took second place with' 98 points.

From the start the outlook was bright, as a number of veterans from the IQIO team were in school. ' The squad started practicing in the pool on November 4, under the direction of Coach Roth- erham. They worked hard, and the resultof their work was shown in our first meet, on November 120, with Jersey 5 City High School, whom we easily defeated by the score of 48 to 5. During the re- mainder of the season the team won eleven dual meets and lost one. Among the eleven won was a meet with Clinton, the score of whichwas 31 to 22. The P. S. A. L. Championship came off on lVIarch8, and Commerce was looked to to win it. However, Clinton managed to tie us, the final score being ISM points for Commerce and 1512 points for Clinton. Mack of Commerce and Schwartz of Clinton were tied for first place in the plunge. The following week these two men plunged for .first place. Schwartz suc- ceeded in defeating Mack by two feet, thereby giving the championship to Clinton. The Hnal score was 16 points for Clinton and I5 points for Commerce. Much praise is due to Mr. Rotherham for his excellent coaching, and also to Captain Lemcke, who has proven himself tobe one of the best school boy swimmers in Greater New York.

The 'team looked like a winner, but duegj-to. the fact that it was not entered in the P. Sf A. L.

However, Captain Chalaire decided he would play out his schedule, and from some new material built up a fairly good team. V I The team played six games during the remainder of theiseason, and although it went downto defeat in every one, it put up a hard light in all of them. . ' - c Cann was the real bright spot on the team, and he played every game in his usual clean and masterly manner.

Then the team slumped just enough lars and the necessity of trying out substitutes, the team slumped just enough to pull it down from first to third place. At any rate, they succeeded in de- feating Clinton by a score of 259 to 253. Q ln the Clinton invitation shoot we got two third places. ' The next matches were those held at the Sportsmenis Show at Madison Square Garden. The best the team could get, however, was. third in three of these, lVIorris and Clinton, our ancient rivals, beating us out in each match. The Whitney Shoot took place on April 27, at the Seventy-first Regiment Armory. Com- merce took third place in this shoot for the S. A. Sub-Target Champion- ship of Greater New York. Shapiro broke the record made last year by Black of Clinton, by shooting 314 out of a possible 315. At the Garden tournament he won the Poth Trophy with a score of 195 out of a possible 200, which was one of the highest scores of the tournament. When Captain Schminke left school, Shapiro was elected captain. The other members of the team are Grieco, Behrman, Wilkinson, Suffield, Camuti, Trinz and Chatfield. The school was also represented by a secondteam, which had a very successful season. Its prominent members were Kanerek, Goodman, Meyer, Vollmeke and Captain Bernholz.

This need for a school monthly was felt by many students, and plansrwere made which resultedin the publication of the first issue of the Commerce Caralvel, in October, 1906. The Board of Editors of that first Volume, of whom Jasper R. Lewis was: Editor-in-Chiefrand Alvin S. Mela the Business Manager, were ably assisted by Dr. Sheppard and Messrs. Bryan and Qpdycke. The Caravel was eagerly received, and interest in it has never lagged since then. V ' As the vacancies on the Board of Editors are filled by competition, the honor of being a Carawel editor is open to all boys above the second year in school. Competitors for the Business Staff have an added inducement in the Bertolino lyledal. This prize, which has been offered for several years by an old Commerce student and former Business Manager of The Carrwel, is given every year to the student who first secures T100 worth of advertise? ments for The CHTQUEZ' before the end of the spring term. 1 To this competitive method The Carafvel undoubtedly owes its continued success. B At present it has a comfortable surplus, and its sales are keeping pace with the growth of the school. What is more, from the first it has held high rank among school' periodicals 3 a year or two ago, in a contest conducted by Stuyvesant High School, it was named as the best high school paperin the United States. The Carczfvel has extended its sphere within the last term by financing the publication of the Commerce Hand-Boolh. . The Carafvel acknowledges with thanks the ,assistance of Dr. Bryan, Dr. Wharton and Mr. Van Tuyl in its management during the past year. 71 COMMERCE YEAR EOOK,1.912 BCDARD GF EDITQRS B SEPTEMBER-FEBRUARY XV, P.

E sit and read how other men haveileft old Commerce High, And find they parted all the same, upon their lips a sigh, So when we come to take our leave, 'twill be the same old way, We can but sing the same old song, repeat the same old lay: Farewell, then, Commerce, dear old school, it's mighty hard to go, We know that when we've left we'll have a good hard row to hoe, For most of us will go to work, and work is no sw Vfeyve just begun to realize how soft we got along.

VVe've learned a-lot of things since Hrst we came to Commerce High, And we,ve memories of Commerce life that will surely never die. Of our number, some have gained renown upon the field of sport, While others sought their laurel crowns in work of milder sort, But now whate'er their tastes may be, they must at last depart, And the student and the athlete, hand in hand, with saddened heart, 'Will venture forth to light alone their battles day 'by day, And join the everlasting throng that journeys on its way. And when the eye grows dim with age, the limbs lose all their strength VVhen the broad highway of life has been traversed almost its length, When the feeble mind wants naught but to review the fruitful past, Then will the years at Commerce High stand forth from mem'ries vast. Lost in dreams, the tired features slowly break into a smile, For welll ne'er forget thee, Commerce, till we,ve passed o'er Life,s last stile. 73 0112155 uf ZHPI1. MAX ABRAHAMS JAMES S.

I I ' Mbtimi ' 1 ' I JIIWS CCDNVERSION WILLIAM MEYER, IQI3 I I HERE was one subject upon which Jim and I could never agree. That was hypnotism. Jim simply wouldn't admit that there was any such thing or science or whatever it is. With all the enthusiasm of a stock broker trying to sell a gold brick, I argued with him and endeavored to show him the error of his ways. But he wouldn't take any stock in it. After the smoke and the heat of the argument had Cleared away, I still saw the sameunconvinced expression on his face, and the only thing that pre- vented me from pounding him was the fact that he is at least thirty pounds heavier than I am. I But that is all changed now. Jim believes in hypnotism as much as I do. His conversion came about in an odd way. One afternoon we wereoff duty-if being in the army may be called on duty. Not having anything else to do, we went around to see a friend of mine who had left the army on becoming the heir to some fool uncle or other. When we arrived there, my friend was just leaving to take in a private exhibition of hypnotism. iThis was just what I was waiting for. Jim and I were invited to come along, and the three of us walked off- to the tune of Jim's grumbling. . YVe soon reached the place-a fairly large reception room into which we were conducted amid a silence so profound that we could almost see it. There were several ladies and gentlemen in the room, and after the arrival of a few more spectators the exhibition began. First, the Professor, who was an intelligent looking man of about fifty years, introduced himself and told us what he meant to do. Then he turned to one of the ladies present who had a husky young baby with her, and asked her to lend the child to him. She wasn't very enthusiastic over this sug- gestion. Some of her relatives, however, persuaded her to let her child be a pioneer of science, or something like that. 83 COMMERCE YEAR BooK,'191Q The Professor said that he would .hypnotize the baby-which had never been done before. Then he would hypnotize himself, and after a few minutes some one should shake them gently and they would both wake up. He said that this would be the best exhibition of hypnotism ever given, either publicly or privately, and so forth. I After this peroration, the hypnotist waved his hands around and started to do some funny tricks. We all became very quiet and rather nervous. I had never seen a hypnotist act like that before, and have never since. He was all right, however. For the baby soon closed his eyes and fell into a regulation hypnotic trance. The Professor then started on himself, and if a man, sitting nearby hadn't caught him, he would have fallen to the floor-he put himself to sleep so hard. . There we were, then-with two hypnotized persons in our midst. The silence itself was weird. lldy, but it was creepy! For a while we all sat staring at the two main figures. Then we looked at one another in a timidsort of way. Finally somebody ventured to remark that it was time we shook them, as per orders. , Whereupon two men arose and shook the Professor and the baby as though they were handling dynamite. The Professor opened his eyes first. He looked around sort of sheepishly, and when he saw the baby's mother, he jiggled around and cried: Da-dal We all thought this was great, so we clapped our hands in' applause, and I ungently prodded Jim in the ribs with my elbow. The applause awoke the baby. He looked around very intelligently, stroked his chin as though he thought he were a bearded scientist, and said: Ladies and gentlemen, this is a most prodigious and precarious predica- ment for any man to be in! , ' That made us all go nearly crazy. We jumped up and began to crowd around the infant phenomenon. Jim turned -fiercely to me and said it was all my fault, he was so excited. The mother let out a yell and would have run out of the room with the child, but some one stopped her. In the meantime the hypnotist was standing around with a dazed ex- pression on his face, making funny sounds. Somebody made him sit down in a chair, and then poured water over him. That only made it worse, for he began to cry. It was all very queer. Suddenly the baby said: Don't you people know what has happened? Why, it's simply this: The babyls spirit and my spirit have become twisted, and are now in the wrong places. I really don't know what to do- about it. I have the mind, but the baby's physical strength is not enough for a hypnotistf' The baby's mother began to cry, and the Professor began also, in sympa- thy. Une of the men told her to take her baby home, and maybe the thing 84 ' COMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1912 would wear off. Then the baby spoke up again and said that, for all he cared, they could end the thing just as the men suggested-by 'the mother taking him along with her. But, he said, the hypnotism would never do such a ridiculous thing as wear off. a The lady kept bemoaning. the whole proceeding. Finally she said that, as it was her child in the first place, she would take him home with her. Though, she said, she knew for sure, that it would be a nuisance and a very queer thing to have such an intelligent baby around, and that her husband would not be a bit pleased. 1 The baby said it would be perfectly agreeable to him as he would be able to live practically a new life, and with an intelligent mind to start with. VVe wereiall too dazed by the mysterious thing that had taken place to realize what really had happened, or to believe readily the baby's explana- tion of it. It was too much for us, too much for our understanding. It had never happened before, as far as we knew. It might never happen again. So, after the baby's expostulation of the subject, a deep silence fell over us. Thus far the baby had been the center of attraction, as being able to tal k, it drew our attention to it first. But now we all turned to the Professor. All his actions, and the queer sounds he made, confirmed the baby's. state- ment about the .transmission of the spirits. As was also the case in regard to the baby, the Professor still had all his physical abilities. All that was -changed was his intellect. He saw a derby on the table, and taking it up, he tore it into shreds, after which he cackled with babyish glee. In a little while one of the Professor's friends said that he did not think much of the idea of letting the mother take the baby along with her, with the Professor's brains. 'He said he couldn't see how the Professor's friends and relatives were going to profit by having a mere dumb ,animal on their hands instead of the intelligent human being that the Professor had been. Furthermore, he said that before thinking of going home it would be advisable to get the Professor's brother, who was also a hypnotist, and see what he could do about the matter. . - . Then he turned to the Professor, and thoughtlessly asked him where his brother lived, so that someone could go and get him. The Professor, of course, couldn't answer the question. The baby then proved his own theory when he gave the address of his brother. But the mother was astounded, and said that he was mistaken, because the baby never had a brother. So, a few minutes had to be wasted to explain to her whose brother we were talking about. T V The address having been obtained, it remained fortsomeone to go and get the Professor's brother. We were divided into three factions, so to speak. One was on the mother's side, one was looking out for the Professor, and the third was made up of several men, including my two friends and me, who were neither friends nor relatives of the principals. ss A CQMMERCE YEAR Book, P1912 The others were either afraid, or didn't want to go, anyhow, Jim and I, being very obliging, were detailed to go and bring the Professor's brother around. W'e went to the address and found it to be right. We must have scared the brother by the way we put it, I guess, but everything was explained to him as we hurried back. He said that he didn't know what to do, but as his brother was concerned in it, he would of course do anything he could. VVhen he entered the room he was greeted by the same silence that seemed to be a part of the house. He soon put the baby and his brother through all their paces and finally decided to put the subjects under hypnotic influence again, if he could. I ' The baby was easy, but the Professor took a long time and when he finally closed' his eyes, everybody breathed easier. we felt that things were more natural now. The Professor's brother then said that he would leave the two like that for a while, and so we had a half hour's discussion of the phenomenon that had taken place. l ' When the time came to awake the two again, there was a hushed ex- pectancy in the air. VVe' all hoped that all would turnout right, and it did. In a couple of minutes the Professor and the baby were brought around to the tune of the mother's weeping and the silent relief of the other spectators. Neither the Professor nor the baby suffered any evil effects from the experience. That night while walking back to the armory, Jim admitted that he must have been mistaken about -hypnotism. But, he said, this was the first, the last, and the only exhibition of hynotism he ever intended to witness. VVQRTI-I A MILLION JACK LUDWIG, 1 9 1 4 AILY I went the rounds of factory and ofiice in futile attempts to secure a position. San Francisco employers demand experience. I lacked experience. While thus engaged, I met a man who seemed be in the same straits as I. Sam Trenck was his name. Drawn together by hard luck, we at once became friends. . Together We hired a room in a cheap lodging house. We could make our money last longer that way. Still, there was an air of evil mystery about the man that I disliked. This mystery was soon explained, for I awoke one morning to find Sam Trenck missing. So was all I possessed in this world except my clothes. He had been generous enough to leave them. Dressing hurriedly, I rushed down stairs and asked the clerk if he had seen Trenck. 86 COMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1912 -1 Yes, replied the clerk. He left here shortly after midnight. Where was he going ? He inquired about trains to New York, saying he was going East. Then I told the clerk about the robbery. Instead of expressing sympathy, he saw fit to laugh heartily. Calling some of the men in the room, he repeated my story, and there arose such a roar of laughter that I strode out of the place, enraged yet sick at heart. Why of all men did he rob me im I asked myself bitterly. Why did he not rob my brother? He is a millionaire. He would not have missed it. But I-I am an outcast. My own brother disowns me. And I am penni1ess! With heavy heart I trudged aimlessly down the street. As I passed a newspaper office, I chanced to look up at the bulletin board. My eyes bulged as I read: ' . HTERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT NEAR LOS ANGELES+ VINCENT D. CLEMENTS, THE MILLIONAIRE, A ONE OF THE VICTIMS. My brother! I gasped. V A y I stood motionless. My brother-he who had cast me out-he, the millionaire, was dead! And II, who was penniless, who had nothingto live for, was made to live. What tricks Fate plays! When I regained composure, I entered the ollice and awaited my turn at the files of newspapers that ,were kept on a reading table for the convenince of the public. Presently I read: A 'KAmong the victims of the accident was Vincent' D. Clements, the mining millionaire. Mr. Clements left his country home this morning to keep an appointment with his lawyer' in Los Angeles, his intention being to make a 'will leaving his fortune to local charitable institutions. An intimate friend of the late Mr. Clements declares that a few weeks ago a young man, rather the worse for wear, appeared at Mr. Clements' country home, and insisted that he was the million- aire,s brother. The two men were heard to quarrel violently, and that night the visitor departed as mysteriously as he came. He has neither been seen nor heard of since. As Mr. Clements made his fortune in Mexican silver mines, it is surmised that the mysterious visitor may have been an old acquaintance from the mining district. As Mr. Clements never married, this claimant is the sole heir, if he can pro-ve his relationship. The newspaper dropped from my trembling hands. Nly brain was in a whirl. My papers?-my proof! I had them with my wallet, and my wallet- with eager fingers I gripped at my breast pocket. Then I remembered. 87 coMMERcE YEAR BooK,1912 VVhy, you fool! I cried to myself. Don't you know that Trenck has stolen them. Yes! Sam Trenck has stolen the papers that could now make you a millionaireln I And the rooming house clerk had said that Trenck was going to New York. Clear across the continent. And here I stood-penniless! With clenched fists and a desperate face, I started for the railroad yards. Cautiously scaling the fence, I stole across the maze of tracks toward the train shed where the eastbound Chicago Limited was waiting for the last sacks of mail. Hovering in the shadow of the baggage car, I watched the mail clerks gather at the door to take in the registered mail packets. The moment their backs were toward me, I swung up and hid behind a heap of second- class mail sacks. The next instant the train glided out of the station, and my mad pursuit of papers worth a million had begun. .D No one noticed me. The clerks were busy sorting letters and filling the way-station bags. Presently we were in the open country, which shot past, hour after hour, like a Hood of unending darknessx And then I must have fallen asleep. ' ' When I opened my eyes again, there were but two clerks in the car, and these were seated nearthe safe, evidently as guards. Une of them yawned and stretched. Keep your hands up! From the pile of bags in front of mea man had risen, a revolver in his hand. The clerk's yawn was frozen on hislips. With upstretched arms and cheeks gone a sickly white, he stared into the revolver. g V Hands up, youll' I Up went the second clerk's arms. , i The man with the revolver took a step nearer them. As he did so, I leaped upon him. The shock knocked the revolver out of his hand and threw him off his balance. He clutched at me and we went down together. V He was a powerful brute, and lithe as a panther. A twist of his body, a sudden turn of his arm, and he had me by the throat. In another minute I should have been choked to death, had not one of the mail clerks recovered from his fright and thrust a revolver into the robber's face. 'fLeggol said the clerk. D'you want to swing for murder beside doing time for this job ? The fingers at my throat relaxed and I wrenched myself free. Keep 'im covered, Jim, said the second clerk, While I tie him up. . VVhile I was gettingmy breath, one clerk held the revolver to the robber's head, while the second clerk tied his wrists together. Now take off his mask, said the clerk with the revolver. Let's see who he is. . The others pulled off the piece of cambric. I came forward, looked- and gasped. 88 1 CGMMERCE YEAR BOOK, 1912 It was Trenck-Sam Trenck! Don't recognize him, do you, Jim ? said the clerk. He's new to me, Jim replied. - Then both stared at me. ' W7ho might you be ? Jim demanded. And where did you come from? Dead broke,'! I said. Trying to beat my way to Chicago. We oughter run you in along with him,,' Jim declared, looking thought- fully from me to his fellow clerk. 'But you sure did us a good turn, even if you haven't any business in this car. r f'You'd better drop off at the next station kinder quiet like when we don't happen to be looking, the second mail clerk suggested. My heart sank. lldust I go without my wallet? Yet if I told them that I knew Trenck, their gratitude would at once change to suspicion, and they would turn both Trenck and me over to the police. 'fRight you are,,' Iuaddressed them. 'CI don't want to get you two into trouble. As I'm dead broke, and our friend here is going where' he won't need money, therels no harm, is there, in my rewarding myself out of his pockets ? I Both the clerks- grinned approval. A Sure!,' said Jim. '.'I reckon we owes you somethingall right for having spoiled his game!!! . Deftly I went through Trenck's-pockets. 4'This will do, I laughed, holding up my own wallet. The clerks grinned again. . Now beat it,H Jim ordered. We're slowing down and in another minute some one!s apt to see you. He opened the door and I swung off into the night. No sooner had I caught my balance and felt solid ground beneath me than I was down on my knees and with trembling 'fingers groping in my wallet. I It was empty! y ' Almost frenzied, I struck a match, and by its light examined every fold. But there was nothing! In utter despair, I let the wallet fall, and slapped my hands upon my breast. Beneath my right palm something crackled. Mechanically, I felt in my pocket. There was a rip that opened into the lining. I thrust my hand through. lyly Hngers touched something stiff, gripped it,.d drew it forth. Again I struck a match and-looked. 'Tye got them! Got them! I cried, and clutched my papers-papers that had been in my coat all the time-papers worth a million! 89 OMMERCEYEARBUO GIVING PRIZE POEM WM.

A., having been organized in the year 1902. From a membership of only a few hun- dred, it has steadily increased in size until now it boasts of a member- ship of over one thousand. From an organization Which Was scarcely able to cover its expenses, which needed the help of the Alumni Association, it now has a comfortable surplus in- the treasury. i r The purpose of this organization is to promote all the approved branches of athletic activities of the school. This purpose it has .accomplished by paying for all the necessary paraphernalia and supervising the actions of the teams. The flourishing condition of the A. A. is due directly to the hearty support given it by the student body and to the excellent management of the managers of the various sports. The ,crowds that are being attracted to the games are growing larger and larger year after year. Another aim of the association has been to support and foster good sportsmanship. This aim has been very satis- factorily carried out, to the credit of the oflicers in charge. Year after year the scope and etliciency of the A. A. has grown, till novv it is one of the best managed organizations of its kind in the country. ' To join this association an initiation fee of twenty-fivecents must be paid. According to the by-laws, a fine of ten cents was formerly imposed on boys who joined after a certain day, but this restriction Was later removed and it can be truthfully said that the repeal of this provision contributed largely ot the phenomenal growth of the A. A. Membership in it carries With it many rights and privileges, including extended use of the pool and gym- nasium. Members also receive considerable discount on all sporting goods purchased through the A. A., as Well as reduced rates to all the games. VVe hereby take the opportunity of extending our sincerest thanks on the part of the student body to the oHicers of the A. A. for the indefatigable zeal with which they Worked to make this organization What it is today. 101 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION fFebruary to junej OMMERCE YEAR'BOOK, 1912 GENERAL DFFICERS Pr-esicient ' ..........

The chief purpose of this club is sto visit many of the modern establishments and to study their ways and methods of doing business. Its workdiffers from that of the Natural Science Club in that the actual methods of business are investigated, whereas the Natural Science Club investigates the processes of manufacture of the various commodities. The membership of this club was originally restricted to fifteen members so that they could visit establishments without creating very 'much confusion, but this restriction was later removed on account of the large demand for membership. g Through the efforts of Dr. Sheppard, Mr. Healey-and Mr. Pugh, the society has been enabled in the past to visit R. Hoe 85 Co., the New York Stock Exchange, Franco-American Food Company, New York World, New York Herald, National Biscuit Company and many other places of interest. The club also made a visit to the giant ocean liner Lusitania, where they inspected the massive machinery, the different staterooms, kitchen and other departments, and nothing of importance escaped their attention. At all 'these places there were guides to show the members around, who explained every- thing. , P During the current year the club first visited the New York Stock Ex- change. After this the club visited the American Book Company, where the members saw the making of ia book from start to finish. They were also pleased to see some of the books written by members of the Faculty, on the supplylist. The other places visited were National City Bank, Ward's Bread Company, American Sugar Refining Company, New York Clearing House, Heckerls Flour lWills and Sheffield Farms Dairy.

The work of the club was of three kinds: First, there were weekly meetings for the discussion of various subjects relating .to biologyg second, field meetings were held at convenient intervals, the purpose' of which was to present an opportunity' to the members for the observation of plant and animal life in the vicinity of New York 5 third, numerous addresses were given by the members of the faculty and also by prominent men fromthe Aquarium, Bronx Zoological Park, and the Museum of Natural History. This society, however, was notvery Well received by the student body, as few of them cared enough to participate in the activities of the club, so it had to go out of ejcistence. - The Biology Club reorganized in 1910 under the name of The Natural Science Club, with Mr. F. O. Payne remaining as thefaculty adviser. The principle aim of this new organization is to study the processes of manufacture of the most important commercial commodities. In order to carry out this object visits are made to various places of interest. Among' the firms visited in the past were the New York Central Grain Elevators, American Malting Company, Hecker Flour Mills, Franco-American Food Company, laboratories of the Museum of Natural History, Hess Bros. Candy Factory, Knox Hat Company, Drake Cake Company, Ward Bread Company, American Sugar Refining Company, National Corn Products Company. During the current year the places visited were the Dunlap Hat Company, Barren Island Disposal Works, Astoria Coke Company, the Kosher Slaughter Houses of the city, the Museum of Natural History Laboratories, Ward Bread Company, Rupert's Brewery, Hecker Flour Mills, and the Franco-American Food Company.

The demand for membership wasuasuchi- that it was decided to let all upper- term fellows join who were interesteidqi V D t ' Meetings were held every Tuesday afternoon in Room 202. Before the club could procure the services of a member of the faculty as adviser the fellows took turns at dictating, chiefly from Congressional Records.. Later Mr. Healey took charge of the club. He dictated a large amount of reporting matter, and showed the members many shortcuts in the art. ' On various occasions addresses were delivered by our instructors and other writers and typewriter operators. -1 I ' At one of the meetings the attendance was so large that it was necessary to hold the meeting in the Assembly Hall.. Cn this occasion Mr. L. E. Coombes, one of 'the most 'prominent of the expert typewriter operators in America, gave an exhibition of rapid typewriting. This consisted of reporting a lecture directly upon the machine at the rateof' more than one hundred words per minute. Un another occasion a young man, fifteen years of age, visited the club and gave a demonstration of touch typewrtiing. He copied from French at the rate of ninety words per minute. He knew nothing about this language, for he had never studied it. As he had to Visualize each letter instead of each word or phrase, as is doneuin reading English, his rapid copying was a remarkable feat. He then copied English at the rate of ninety-Hve words per minute, meanwhiletanswering questions put to him by those present. These exhibitions have proven interesting and very profitable. Plans are being made for other talks of a helpful nature by eminent shorthand reporters and typewriter operators. OFFICERS ALVA PosEN ........

The aim of this society is not only to furnish dramatic talent for the semi-annual performances, but also to bring to light latent dramatic ability. 'This has been doneby the production of plays, by the discussion of the most recent plays and playwrights and by talks by members of the faculty on various phases of the drama. This club has been one of the most active as Well as one of the best appreciated societies of the school. . The successes Which. attended the production of plays on the Friday afternoon assemblies prompted the society to try something more ambitious. In April, 1906, a farce entitled f'For Une Night Only Was presented at the Berkeley Lyceum Theatre by the members of the society. The performance was such a success -that it Was ,presented again, the proceeds going toward the relief ofthe sufferers. of the- San Francisco disaster. The society pre- sen-ted tvvo more outside plays, f'The 'Private Secretary and 'Barrister or Playwright. Both of these productions Were immensely successful, even more from the artistic than from the financial standpoint. Recently the Dramatic Society has confined its performances to the school auditorium. The one-act playlet, Miss Civilization, by Richard ,Harding Davis, was presented on Old Boys, Day. Every member of the cast carried his part very creditably, as the appreciation of the audience Well demonstrated. Mr. Lindsey deserves especial praise for his able coaching and efforts to carry out the objects of the society. ' I ' E I ,OFFICERS President, . . . ....... HERMAN GOLDSTEIN Secretary . . . ....

But later others clamored for admission, so many from the lower terms were taken in, and the name was Changed to K'The Hamiltonian Literary Society, in order to dispel the idea that membership was open to fellows from the Senior Class only. The object of the club is, as is stated in its first constitution, Hthe mental improvement in everything connected with the art of debating, and social advancement. This aim has been modified somewhat by later developments and now its principal object is to give the members the ability to express their thoughts, clearly, concisely and fluently, therefore much stress is given to impromptu speaking. , . The programs. have been varied from time to time so that they will be of perpetual interest. to the members.. Besides holding mock trials, mock senates, debates and impromptu speeches, it has presented, from time to time, such features as talks by members of the faculty on current literary and political topics, humorous debates among the members, and inter-society debates. The society is greatly indebted to the' members of the English Depart- ment and ot.Dr. Henry Hall in particular for suggestions and advice.

This change brought renewed prosperity to the club, for about thirty hard Workers, chiefly from the upper terms, Were admitted. The main object in all the Work is to create an interest inthe art of public speaking and to teach and train the members in this art, so that they may be able to address a large audience With con- Hdence. The Work has been successful, and the improvement in the announce- ments from the school platform is very marked. ' T uor1ucERs Preszdent ...... .

It was organized in September, 1911, its purpose being similar to that of the other language clubs. Since that time it has held regular meetings under the guidance of lVIr. Roessler. One characteristic distinguishes this club from all other clubs of the school- not everyone in the 'school is eligible for membership. Every prospective member must first be nominated 'by Mr. Roessler. Thus an efficient and in- dustrious group of fellows arelgotten together. It is interesting to note that everything that is spoken is in the language that has been adopted by the club. It can therefore readily be seen that this organization is of very great benefit to the progressive students of the school. .

It had always been a agfeilaitgiipleasure for many fellows to take long walks around the city,ril a1fgilfli'to attend out-of-town games of the different teams., so for this purpose club was organized. During the Easter vacation of 1910 a few of the members strolled to Philadelphia in the record time of 27 hours actual walking time. But the longest walk ever undertaken by this club was that to Albany. During the Easter vacation of 1907 a few of the members reached the Capitol in 38 hours of walking. About this time The Strollers found an efficient and active faculty adviser in Mr. Joseph Kahn, who had kindly consented to help further the good work of the society. During the past term the Strollers have visited Hackensack, East Orange, Poughkeepsie, Tottenville and Montclair. They have also had as their guests many well-known pedestrians who have given many interesting talks on the science and benefits of walking. . OFFICERS S Presidknzf ..... .......

Soon after the season opened in 1,908 the club joined the National Rifle Association of America. This association awards many medals and emblems to the Winners of competitions held under its auspices. It also holds rifle competitions in Which all of its constituent organizations may enter teams. As the membership of the Gun Club is limited to forty, only the best shots in the school can be admittedg therefore, all prospective members must be successful in the competitions held. A This year the club expects to enter teams in the various matches held by the N. R. A. We have the 'distinction this year ofnnhaving developed one of the greatest sharp-shooters the school has ever seen. He is Victor M'.

Robin- son, the Commerce Sextette was formed, and this paved the way for the Orchestra which was to follow. By 1905 we had a complete orchestra, which supplied the music at the Friday afternoon assemblies, and at the various entertainments. The proficiency. of the boys increased to such an extent that they were invited to play at a performance given bythe Sophomore Class of Barnard College. The departure of Mr. Robinson plunged the Orchestra into an almost hopeless condition, out of which it did not emerge until Mr. PA uz.jBRo ww IQ Q Roessler came forward and resurrected it. 5 Late in 1909 Mr. N. Lindsay Norden was appointed to the position of music instructor of the school. In the early fall he reorganized the Orchestra, beginning with about eight members, Mr. Norden playing the piano. From this small organization the membership. has grown to nearly forty, and has become ia feature of the school life. Q The music library has grown steadily in size and now contains many standard selections. The past year has been the most successful one, and the Orchestra has rendered a number of programs for the school, played in the Annex, and outside. I T I HEALTH CLUB HE most recent and also one of the most active clubs of the school is the Health Club. It was organized in the early part of the current 9 term for the purpose of studying the sanitary conditions of New York City and their effect on the people. ln order to further the work they paid a visit to the Borden Dairy, where they saw the milk industry from the milking of the cows to the bottlingiof the milk. - OFFICERS , 1 President ....... ..........

Its'purpose was to increase the chess and checker 'playing 'ability of the members so that they might derive the benefits which may be obtained from this intel- lectual pastime. lvlatches were played with other schools with varying success, but due to a decline in the membership a reorganization was necessary. At this reorganization checkers was added to the activities of the club, this action increased the membership immensely. tlnterclass tournaments were held in order to pick the best talent for the team. But interest in the club again declined till it was entered in the Interscholastic Chess League. This soon revived the spirit, as was shown ,by the fact that the membership at once jumped to almost half a hundred. Out of fourteen games played, we succeeded in winning ten, which was a very good showing when we con- sider the number of teams entered. A . One of the most interesting features of the club consisted of several simultaneous games played with some of the leading masters, among whom were Herman Helms, editor of the American Chess Bulletin and former New York State champion, Mr. A. F. Kreymborg, one of the strongest players in the city, and Roy T. Black of the American Cable Team, who won every game he played with Great Britain's masters. Their suggestions regarding play were much appreciated, and proved very profitable .to the members. 'This improvement was demonstrated by the fact that Edwin Sanger succeeded in winning against Mr. Helms on his next visit here. V - A Notwithstanding the absence of Mr. Healey, the faculty adviser, the club is progressing very rapidly, for already a branch has been formed at the Annex. The members of the club are greatly indebted to Mr. Healey for the interest he has taken and for the help and advice which he has given so unselfishly.

HEALEY ,H 124 CHESS AND 1 1 TI-IE SKETCI-I CLUB HE Commerce Sketch Club was organized in the early part of 1907 for the purpose of developing the latent artistic talent of the Com- merce student. lVfeetings for the fulfillment of this object were held twice a week under the auspices of Mr. Raymond Carter. At. these meetings the conspicuous athletes posed for the members in the uniforms that brought them into the limelight. The society while it was in existence had a very large membership, larger than is usual in an organization of its kind, but on account of the difficulty of getting fellows to pose for the embryo artists sketching has been discarded, since then the club has come to be more or less of a caricature club. But few fellows cared enough for this kind of draw- ing to attend regularly, and the club had to be disbanded. , THE CAMERA CLUB HE Commerce Camera Club wasvorganized on February 14, IQO8, the object being to promote mutual acquaintance among its mem- bers and to improve their skill and judgment and artistic taste in the process of photography. lvlembership was open to any student or teacher in the High School of Commerce. Themembers have shown unusual interest in the work and the results achieved indicate that energy and enthusiasm prevailed. Under the direction of Messrs. Grant and Lewis the Camera Club has accomplished things unexpected of them. They have studied the artistic side of photography and have experimented with the new printing papers and photographic materials. Thus many capable photographers have been de- veloped. At the end of every school year the club held exhibits in the drawing r were to. be seen. But the best thing that the Camera Club did for the school was the taking of photographs of the ewis deserves special com- room, where the fruits of the yea various teams for the YEAR BOOK. Mr. A. H. L mendation for his interest and his diligent efforts to make this club a success. Unfortunately, however, owing to the transfer of Mr. Lewis, the club has lost his invaluable services and has been forced to disband. 125 COMMERICE YEAR liOOK,1912 THE AERO CLUB HE last two years saw very great progress in the art of navigation of the air. There was so much enthusiasm manifested in the school in this art that the Aero Club was formed QFebruary, IQIID for the purpose of bringing the members of thatorganization in closer contact with aerocraft in its latest developments. At the weekly meetings the principles of aeroflight were discussed and models exhibited. Before the end of the term, under the careful guidance of Mr. R. G. Bennett, each fellow succeeded in making at least one model aeroplane. By joining the International High School Aeronautical Federation, the Aero Club had the use'of an armory for practice flights. At one of the meetings ia member of the club succeeded in Hying his model one hundred and ten feet. By the end of the term the work progressed so rapidly that an exhibition was held in the drawing room, where more than thirty models were to be seen. The course in aeronautics proved most profitable and interesting and Mr. R. C. Bennett deserves much praise for his work. - THECHTY GOVERNMENT CLUB N November, 1907, Mr. Pugh formed a society known as the City Government Club of the High School of Commerce. The aim was to study the governmental activities of New York City. The club visited many city departments and institutions, and out of this idea of visiting, the present Natural Science Club, Commercial Club and Health Club grew up. Interest in thisysociety Hagged after two years of successful work and it dis- banded. Its work is continued by the 'organizations just mentioned. I 126 HE Alumni was organized by the first graduating class of the school. It has been a very strong organization in its day, but it has lost much of its former prestige. The purpose in organizing was to promote the feeling of good fellowship among the graduates and to keep up the friend- ships formed in the Alma Mater. While the Athletic Association was not strong enough to pay for its own expenses, the Alumni Association furnished the necessary funds, but since the A. A. has grown so large this practice has ceased. Among other activities, the Alumni usually held annual dinners and -dances, but these have also been stopped, owing to the lack of enthusiasm and interest. Recently, there was some talk of reorganizing the Alumni on a new bas-is, but it proved unsuccessful when the attempt was made by some of the leaders. The various classes, however, nearly all keep up their own organiza- tion, and hold annual meetings. The fullest report of the Alumni is given elsewhere, presenting the record since graduation of all members who could be reached. It is extremely desirable that each class should elect a permanent -secretary, who should keep a roll of the addresses of his classmates, and should notify them of meetings. These secretaries are requested to send their names to hir. Heydrick. . W 5 . A' Q' ,11 V' N 127 COMMERCE YEAR EooK,191-2 ALUMNI june, 1904 ALVINO, A.
