Ladies and Gentlemen:

O n behalf of the class of 19 ' i l , I welcome you to these, our g radu ­ation exercises. At last we have attained that goal toward which we have been striving for so many years, and you are about to witness the culmi­nation of our endeavors.

W ith this ceremony, our days at Franklin are officially ended. But in reality, the memories of the happiness, knowledge, and pleasant associa­tions garnered here will never leave us in later life, but will remain deeply imbedded in our hearts. And here let me express our sincerest gratitude toward the faculty, that fine body of men, w i thou t whose patient and understanding tutelage, we could never have been prepared for this great occasion. A nd above all, we thank you, Dr. Koenig, for your invaluable assistance, though in t ru th we shall scarcely ever be able to appreciate its full extent.

A nd so, we, the graduating class of 1931, salute you, w ho have as­sembled here to witness our last official acts as Franklinites, and in so d o ­ing we salute the second lap in our race of life. For now that our high- school days w ith their restraints and influences are over, tha t part of our lives, which may be termed “ more serious” , begins. We only hope that our achievements in the various careers which we are planning to pursue, may be such tha t they will give our teachers cause for pride, and will just ify their conscientious efforts made in our behalf.

F r e d N . W ise

I stand before you to give you the history of the class of 1931. W hile I was preparing this monstrous tale, I felt the same emotions tha t Goethe must have had, when he made “Faus t” translate the Bible. Poor Dr. Faust, no t know ing how to find the fitting words, wrote thus:

“ Im Anfang war das W o r t ” . ‘‘In the beginning was the w o rd ”N o t being satisfied with this, he quickly improved it w ith : “ Im A nfang war der S inn” . “ In the beginning was the sense” . T h i s was no sooner written than he changed to: “ Im Anfang war die K ra f t” . “ In the be­ginning was the force” . T h is seemed to please him, bu t not for long, be­cause as a crowning achievement he settled on the words: “ Im A nfang war die T a t . ” “ In the beginning was the deed” .

So it was w ith this class of 1931. O n one of the last days of theSeptember of eleven years ago, seven youngsters entered the portals of Franklin. “ In the beginning was the w o rd ” . In our case the w ord of greeting came from Dr. Koenig! Little did he th ink tha t he w ould have to teach these boys Latin some day; otherwise he could no t have been so cheerful.

“ In the beginning was the sense” . T h is was made very conspicuous by its absence. H o w clearly was our little sense reflected by foolish acts th roughout the first four years. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is no fairy tale. I can substantiate my statement w ith the fact tha t every day one of our teachers emphasized the complete lack of it.

T h e words: “ In the beginning was the force” remind me of num er ­ous things. First in the fifth grade we realized that the instructors could really become forceful. N o w they could do more than threaten; they could punish w ith detentions and demerits. A nd did they do it! Ah, bu t w ith w h a t force did we defy them. Every day after lunch there was a great feud w ith the fire escape as the common goal. So did these con­tinue until a great catastrophe occurred. One boy was dragged across the floor, received a splinter, and appeared w ith a pillow the next tw o weeks.

In about a year we began to show our force in inter-class and inter­school athletics, excelling in basketball, baseball, and other sports; and adding laurels to F rank lin ’s records.

B u t in Jun io r One we began to display that we had some of that sense. We were the publishers of a weekly newspaper. T h e contents of this must have been good, for often stories were reprinted in tha t austere magazine, “ T h e Red and Blue” . T h e n did we exhibit our school spirit by supplying much of the patriotic applause and noise on such solemn

tw e n ty - s ix

occasions as mass meetings. In those days when advertisements could be secured for "T he Red and Blue" we helped greatly.

" In the beginning was the deed", not only c^ne, of course, but many. We did not confine ourselves only to athletics. Jus t the contrary! A t the graduation of nineteen hundred twenty-eight we were complimented by Dr. Koenig himself for having nine recipients of scholarship medals and banners. But this was not all. for we still continued our literary p u r ­suits and contributed much to the success of “ T h e Red and Blue” . Only last March did this magazine, practically only under our management, win a third prize in the nation-wide contest of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.

In spite of the dire prophecies of utter failure from the lips of our teachers, w'e fooled them all. In the past tw o years we have continued Franklin 's fine record at the College Board. But I have still not reached the end. A h no! I have not told you of our greatest achievement. Each class that graduates has participated in four inter-class debates. You see before you, Ladies and Gentlemen, the only class in the history of the school which has ever w on all four of these contests.

I wonder whether Goethe w ith his keen prophetic sense really had in m ind the class of nineteen hundred th irty-one of Franklin School when he wrote those words. Surely it would seem so.

W ith this, the history of this class is finished. I hope tha t Goethe’s words: “ In the beginning there was a deed” will be symboHc of the fu ­ture careers of the members of this class of nineteen hundred thirty-one.

C l a s s P r o p h e c y

Last night the Senior D inner was held. I t was well tow ard m o rn ­ing as I was returning from that august function, which after the manner of m any Senior dinners had ended in three fights, four cases of acute in ­digestion, and five exhausted waiters. M y head throbbed w ith dim recol­lections of Franklinites greedily devouring chicken, of Franklinites giving long and boring after-dinner speeches, of Franklinites torm enting Italian waiters by calling them “ Kellner,” of Franklinites precociously smoking cigars. As soon as I arrived home, I went to bed and immediately fell asleep. D ur ing the n ight (at Least so m y family tells me) I raved and yelled, sang and shrieked, and at one time even laughed uproariously. T o tell the t ru th I had been dreaming of a class dinner in 1970.

T h is is w ha t I dreamt:T w en ty - th ree elderly men are sitting around a large banquet table,

telling one another the latest gossip, th row ing airplanes craftily made out of napkins, and gleefully pu t t ing pepper in one ano ther’s glasses. As I approached the table three of my former classmates, their long beards fly­ing as they ran, rushed up to me and cried; “ Good old George! M y! H ow big y o u ’ve g ro w n ” ! “ Quite naturally, m y friends, quite na tu ra lly ,” I replied, evading their friendly embraces. A t the end of the festive table I beheld a tall, dignified gentleman happily beaming at his comparatively young charges. It was Dr. Koenig, w ho in the intervening years had not changed except for a handsome V an Dyck beard, which he was proudly stroking. He saw me, called me over, told me to wipe the smile off my face “ for this is no joking m atter” , and began:

“ D o you see the man to my right, softly crooning to himself? T h a t is Herbert Ahrend. After leaving college, Herbert became a great p ro ­fessor, bu t his explanations of parliamentary procedure were so involved tha t he was politely asked to give up teaching. Herbert is now the leader of America's most popular jazz band. Herbert’s How ling Harmonizers play every piece tw o notes off-key, a welcome novelty in these days of in ­cessant jazz. Every song played by the band is sung by Herbert in his uninsured, and, shall I say, unforgivable tenor.

“ T h e next man to him, playing “ She loves me— she loves me n o t” with the daisy, is M aynard Berman. M aynard holds the F ranklin School record for marriages, as he has been the bride-groom of no less than six brides, there being no w om an willing to stay w ith M aynard, because he gets up at four every morning to do the Daily Dozen on the roof. M a y ­nard acquired great wealth by writing a book titled “ H ow to Vex E n g ­lish Teachers,” complete with notes and all.

tw e n ty - e ig h t

I 'h o gentleman, dressed in a green suit, pink shirt, and lavender tie, is none other than America’s stellar polo player, Robert Bernstein. Robert, however, while at the height of glory, broke training rules by smoking an English-made cigar the day before the big match with E n g ­land. He was cruelly discharged from the local amateur polo club— with only tw o weeks’ pay. He is now in the Chicago croak and shoot business.

“ T h e man w ith the glittering array of medals on his broad chest is Stephen Dessau, w o r ld ’s champion ice-skater. Stephen realized that the na tion ’s supply of tin was rapidly being decreased in the cause of sport, and to save the can industry from complete disruption Stephen returned his medals. He now spends his spare time singing hym ns over the radio, but the Federal Radio Commission, appointed to curb just such disturb ­ances, is investigating and we expect gratifying results w ith in the f o r t ­night.

“ N orm an Forster, the gentleman at the far end of the table so gra­ciously presenting his profile to us has become America’s handsomest man. He has posed for every product from bathing suits dow n to Spra t t ’s Dog and Cat Biscuits. N orm an also runs a very profitable night-club, where n ightly his former classmates gather to spend the money they earned during the day.

“ J o h n Gilbert has become a great expert on automobiles. Johnny , in a very inspired moment, decided to dispense w ith the wheels on his car. As he explained to the eagerly listening world, “ it will save a great deal of friction” . M uch to the inventer’s surprise and disappointment the car re­fused to run. T h e much discussed automobile is securely locked in our Frank lin School gymnasium, where it is on exhibition.

“ T h e gentleman expertly tripping up the waiters as they go by, is Robert Gross. He became a star football player, but because of the re­quests of various Health Organizations to refrain from his murderous tac­tics, he became a radio announcer of hockey games. In keeping w ith the nationality of the m ajority of the hockey players, Robert announces all the games in French.” (T h is last statement seemed very doubtful to me, bu t not wishing to interrupt Dr. Koenig, w ho was enjoying telling of the accomplishments of his former prodigies, I remained in respectful silence.)

“ T h e red-faced m an earnestly endeavoring to get three victims w ith w hom to play bridge, is Richard Katzenstein. He is a renowned marine engineer, and after m any years of study and hard toil solved the m om en­tous problem of cleaning goldfish w ithou t taking them out of the water. Richard makes all his money playing contract; engineering is only his hobby.

tw e n ty - n in e

“ T h e dreamy looking individual three seats from me is Charles King. He revolutionized the world by inventing a new position for sleeping: in fact, his discovery was so great tha t beds, pajamas, and P u l l ­m an sleepers went out of style. R unn ing on a “ S leep-W hile-You-Sit” platform, Charley was elected president by a tremendous majority . T h u s it came about tha t we have a King as president.

“ T h e spry m an doing his best to upset his glass of water is M onroe Levinson. He is N ew Y o r k ’s best dramatic critic. He attends all the musical comedies, and then sends his respected criticism to the ‘Jew ish Daily F o rw a rd ’. M onroe also wrote a comedy, which the next day was hailed as the most interesting serious play of the decade. T h u s did M o n ­roe learn about the ways of the public and its appreciation of true hum or.

“ T h e dignified and rather aloof looking gentleman busily scribbling unintelligible scrawls on the table-cloth, which he, when asked, will ex­plain as “ distinguished handw rit ing exercises’’, is A rno ld Loewenheim, formerly a w ell-know n tenor of the M etropoli tan , bu t now dean of all American train announcers. A rno ld cultivated his voice while still a t Franklin , struggling w ith m y weekly Vergil quizzes, which you kn o w to be so easy. After years of study here and abroad A rno ld reached the top of his profession— announcing the T w en t ie th Century Limited. Y ou may hear him any day at G rand Central Station, bu t you m ust come early for the best places, for A rno ld has m any admirers.

“ D o you see the happy and you thfu l looking m an playing marbles w i th himself in the corner? T h a t is Fredric Morgenstern, the guiding l ight of the renowned house-wrecking firm, Morgenstern Brothers. F red ­die’s younger brother keeps the books, while Fred himself takes care of the wrecking end of the business. T h e firm specializes in wrecking and breaking w indows, for which occupation Fred had no little experience while still a youth .

“ T h e man next to him is W ill iam N athan . Bill is the manager of the N ew Y ork hockey teams, and w h a t he says goes . . . . for nothing. As a sideline he draws caricatures of the teachers w ho formerly did their best to teach him. T h e cartoons have now been published in book form under the title “ O ur Fettered Friends.’’

“ M urray Pokress is New Y o r k ’s greatest theatre-goer, there being neither a play nor a musical comedy that M urray ever misses seeing. He is able to tell you, at a m o m e n t’s notice, the name, the address, and the num ber of teeth missing in the m outh of the third chorus girl from the

end in the revue, “ Sour and H igh .’’

“ Ju lian Raphael, the man industriously perusing the telephone book at the far end of the table, has become a great philosopher. H aving trav-

elcd all over this world ol ours, Julian knows much about people and their habits. His crowning achievement has been the writing and p u b ­lishing of the Dictionary ctI the Chinese language, in a convenient pocket size.

Wc have come to the first great turning point in our lives. We have reached the end of that period when wc were permitted to roam about the halls of Franklin School, w i thou t responsibilities or worries. N o more shall we assemble as a body, no more shall we pass our days in each o ther’s company, r o more shall wc come under the kindly supervision and genial tutelage of the instructors w ho have endeavored so conscientiously to train our minds during these many years. T h e y have aided us in more ways than I can enumerate. My words cannot convey sufficient thanks to you, members of the faculty, and especially to you. Dr. Koenig, for all you have done.

You have been more than a teacher to us: you hold not only our re­spect. but also our deepest affection. We have come to appreciate your fine qualities, and we have endeavored to emulate them. We can not, even at this time, believe that we have ended our association w ith you; for a l ­though we may go to universities in distant cities, we shall always return to you, our good friend and valued adviser. Yet though we shall always be guided by your teachings, we shall no longer have your helpful in ­fluence exerted upon us day by day, moulding our minds and building our characters. We indeed regret that those pleasant days have come to an end.

But the sadness of this moment is dissipated by the bright prospect of w ha t lies before us. As we stand here today upon this platform, we are surveying in our minds the years to come. We have visions of o u r ­selves as scientists, as teachers, as masters of finance. We have suddenly awakened to the realization that we must henceforth bear our ow n b u r ­dens, and that the fulfillment of our ambitions depends upon us alone. We must now face life on our own resources.

Yet even though our school days have ended, even though we must now turn to more serious affairs, nothing can ever separate from us our m any precious memories of the years which we have spent at Franklin ; memories of happy hours passed in youthful occupations, recollections of friendships, m any of which we hope will last th roughout our lifetime. W e shall all strive, I feel sure, to make our lives as successful as we are able; and during their entire course we shall never forget that we received our preparation for life and our intellectual training at Franklin, nor shall we cease to pay honor to this institution and to its faculty.

H i s t o r y of t h e C l a s s of ’32

Between the classcs of and there dwells one of the most pe­culiar races of beings in all the magnificent realm of I^'ranklin. These weird creatures came into existence one memorable morning in September, 1921. For ten years now has the class of '32 glorified the ranks of our elegant edifice on E igh ty-n in th Street. M any teachers have we driven to the madhouse, many to suicide, and still we carry on!

For ten years we have held the school championship in the elevating pastime of "h angm an .” Such words as pyx, styx, larynx, xyst, yclept, and many others equally as singular were easy meat for us. After many vain hun ts th rough the dictionary for words embodying a frequent use of x's, y ’s, z ’s, q ’s w i thou t u ’s, etc., the boys finally resorted to words such as “ w h y ” and ”sky.” As everybody was expecting hard words, these brought amazing results. Anyw ay , now we play tick-tack-toe in ­stead.

Since Mr. Ahrend left us a few years ago, the class of ’32 has not al­ways excelled in honorary awards, but we have amply made up for this deficiency on the athletic field. In our Senior C year, our first team won the senior basketball tournam ent: and our second team, the jun io r one. We also w on in pencil-pushing in Intermediate IV, by carrying away the penmanship plaque. Ever since the beginning of our high school days we have always had members on the varsity teams. But the crowning achievement of our athletic prowess is the invention and introduction of tha t enervating diversion, desk football.

For the general good it will do for posterity in years to come, a de­tailed account of the most strategic pastime of rubber-shoving will be given here. But alas! T h e Franklinite had its money in the Bank of United States and can’t afford m any cuts this year: so we shall have to om it the diagrams of our cherished pastime. Sometimes the ball is on the offensive’s tw o inch line w ith fourth dow n coming. Shift! T h e hand slides back w ith lightning dexterity. A center rush? No, i t ’s a fake. T h e nimble left half-back seizes the ball, and using the right elbow for interference, glides dow n the gridiron, skillfully eluding the opponen t’s treacherous fingers. T O U C H D O W N ! T h e bell rings, the five-minute period is at an end, and the game is called.

Class papers? O f course. In Intermediate IV our chronicle boasted of the unusual appellation of “ T h e Gazette.” T h is remarkable periodical was printed by the typewriter-possessing-element of the class. T h e next year showed a decided improvement. “ T h e M egaphone” was neatly done on the mimeograph by our class teacher, Mr. Warne, and was edited by an unnamed member of our class.

8.40 Robinson, Ahrend, and Pokrcss offer silent prayers for the absence of a teacher. Wise enters, ending the silence for the remainder of the day.

8.5 5 Mr. Allison tries to get the boys to sit dow n before the bell rings, bu t this has never yet been accomplished in the senior class.

9 .04 Loewenheim complains very bitterly of the erratic clock d o w n ­stairs.

9.05 T h e second bell rings as Weisman enters w ith bundles of money which he flourishes in B aum ann’s face and counts until Mr. Allison perceives him.

9.16 T ipog raph enters, starts talking to Pokress, and then asks whether the first bell has rung yet. He is then deeply hu r t on being told tha t he is sixteen minutes late, but philosophically shakes his hips.

9.45 “ Please erase your ow n w o rk ”— Enter Schulman, Raphael, etc. (i. e. Katzenstein.) Mr. Forster calls out “ all seated” : immedi­ately no one obeys w ith great celerity.

9.55 Dessau and Forster begin tearing at each other’s throats, Baum ann puts his hands in W eism an’s pocket in an a ttempt (invariably u n ­successful) to purloin the money. Mr. Hall shows Dessau the door w ith an invitation to use it.

10.33 Mr. Kern starts the French Quiz w ith a loud “first w ord .”

10.36 Rosenstein bounces in and asks how m any words he missed and w h y Mr. Kern started before the period began.

10.55 A general changing of seats takes place, and a sarcastic remark about weak mentalities ensues.

11.15 A crowd seeking to learn some Latin in five short minutes gathers about Ahrend.

11.55 A roaring noise is heard, the stairs moan with abuse, bu t miracle of miracles F ranklin School remains intact.

f o r ty - o n e

11.57 In the Senior A room the goldfish are being fed; in the Senior B room the Goldsmith is being fed. Chalk is being hurled: the marksmanship is poor, (she walks w i th a limp, apologies to T ip - ograph.) Hostilities cease most abruptly when Dr. Koenig enters the room, even Morgenstern is given a chance to search for his shoes and stockings. Wise comes out from under the teacher’s desk, all is quiet on the West 89th . Street front.

12.30 Quiet reigns supreme until the tw o Freddies regain consciousness.

1.15 A fight for A hrend ’s La t in notebook ensues w ith Robinson and W eisman victorious. Mr. Welling then throw s them out w i thou t bothering to open the door. Baum ann slaps himself in the face so tha t he can become “ sore enough to sass the teacher.”

1.45 T h e so-called study period begins. Five boys are present; after an interval Weisman comes in w ith more money and goes out again. Robinson and Morgenstern eat about half a La t in notebook be­tween them. Wise yelps for a compass, bu t only gets h i t over the head w ith the heaviest book available. Mr. Hall looks up and surveys a scene of peace and quiet.

2.25 Seniors are prmitted to leave.

2.45 M r. Hall evicts the remainder of the seniors.

2 .46 Dr. Koenig puts on the finishing touches as they are leaving the building in their customary obtrusive manner.

A N o b l e E x p e r i m e n t

One day an old friend of Dr. Koenig called at the office. T h e visitor had become a great psychologist. D uring the conversation he maintained tha t teachers w ho used a definite method of teaching in one subject could no t apply tha t same method to another. T h e doctor maintained tha t this was possible as long as the same teacher taught. Finally the doctor stated tha t the next day he w ould change all the teachers a round and see w ha t happened. M r. Hall was to teach geometry; M r. Allison, English: Mr. Welling, French: Mr. Kern, Vergil: Mr. Merritt , H is tory: and Mr. Berenberg, Algebra. Each teacher was instructed to use his o w n method of teaching, regardless of the subject he was now going to teach. T h e fo l ­lowing is a faithful report of w ha t happened.

G E O M E T R Y

Mr. Hall, w ho is walking up and dow n the room in his accustomed manner, says: “ If you fellows get no th ing else out of m y course, I w an t you to remember tha t tw o triangles are congruent if three sides of one equal three sides of the o ther .” He stops and looks around w ith a benevolent smile: then proceeds to speak softly. “ I w an t you fellows to realize tha t geometry is not just a school subject, b u t a source of pleasure

Mr. Allison: “ T h e assignment for today is L ’Allegro and II Pen- ^eroso. T h is work is not easy. I ’ve told you the story of Euclid and the king. W hen the king asked Euclid the easiest way to learn, Euclid answered, ‘Sire, there is no royal road to learning.’ D id any of you u n ­derstand the memory passage for today?”

N o hands are raised.

M r. Allison: “Well I could tell you these things myself, you know, bu t you w o n ’t attain power in thought. T ake out a pencil and try to figure them ou t .”

We w ork until the bell rings.

Mr. Allison: “ I shall assign them as originals for to -m o rro w .”

Mr. Welling: "All right, Baumann, take up from where we left off yesterday: from partitive constructions to adverbs of q u an ti ty .”

Mr. Kern: "A n d Morgenstern, though you live to be a hundred years old you will never learn os ossts means bone, os ons means m outh , and oca orae means shore. Incidentally, it might be a good thing if you study your vocabulary once in a while. W ith the exception of Ahrend, I ’m recommending none of you for the board. Some balmy day in June you 'l l wish you had studied.”

Mr. Berenberg is sitting at his desk, talking in the slow, deliberate manner which is characteristic of him. " D o any of you know w ho in ­vented logarithms? Logarithms were invented by J o h n Napier, 317 years ago. Napier first thought of the device w h e n ............................”

For the fourth time in succession, the class of 1931 won an interclass debate, this time defeating the class of Senior B on the evening of April 17, 1931. U phold ing the affirmative of the question “ Resolved: T h a t Modern Advertising Is Both Socially and Economically H arm fu l” were Messrs. Jarcho, Landau, and Engel of Senior B. Opposing them were Messrs. Ahrend, Rosenstein, and T ipograph of Senior A. Mr, Altheimer and Mr. Baum ann were the alternates of their respective teams.

Dr. Koenig gave a short history of debating at Franklin before in ­troducing the first speaker, Leonard Jarcho of Senior B. Fie outlined the points of his team and stated that advertising would be considered h a rm ­ful until it was proved not so. Mr. Ahrend, in his rebuttal, immediately retaliated by stating that, in America, one is innocent until he hasi been proved guilty. He went on to show how advertising has raised the s tand ­ards of living and reduced manufacturing costs and, by means of a chart, he proved tha t advertising had not raised the price of products.

Harold Landau, the next speaker, confined himself to a direct speech, in which he pointed out how billboards had marred our scenery and how advertising had helped sell harm ful medicine. In his rebuttal, Mr. Rosen­stein disproved the statement tha t advertising had marred the scenery of our land and pointed out the irrelevancy of Mr. L andau ’s other arguments. He then showed h o w the field of education had benefited by advertising and how, th rough the radio, advertising had provided amusement for millions.

Leonard Engel, the next speaker, dealt w ith the question of paid! testimonials. He was refuted by Mr. T ipograph w ho stated that it could no t be proved that testimonials were harmful. He also showed that ad ­vertising is the most effective means of distribution, pointed out the value of advertising to the newspapers, and ended his address w ith a summary of the negative points. T h e debate was conducted by Leonard Jarcho, who refuted the remarks of the previous speaker. T h e decision was awarded to the negative, w ho thus completed their record by being undefeated in the four debates in which they took part.

O n April 10, the annual wordy battle between Senior C and Jun io r II took place. T h is year, the subject discussed was “ Resolved: T h a t the United States Should Jo in T h e League of Nations .” Advocating this policy was the Senior C class, whose representatives were Messrs. A. Buchsbaum, Harry Kahn, and George G. Goldberg, alternate. Defenders of America's present position were the representatives of the class below, Messrs. Maas, Goldsmith, and Levine, alternate.

T h e debate was a lively one which held the attention of the audience. Both teams showed that they had done much research and were well pre­pared. Undoubtedly , the highlight of this debate was the unveiling by Harry Kahn of Senior C of a map of the world, depicting those countries which had joined the League and those which had not. T h e audience thought that Senior C had turned the scales in their favor, when G o ld ­schmidt of Jun io r II came back with the refutation that most of the countries, depicted as having joined the League, were nothing more than colonies or dominions of the British Empire. After such a rebuttal, there was no doubt of the decision, which was rendered to Jun io r II.

Both teams deserve credit for the fine showing they made, especially Jun io r II, which, despite the age and inexperience of the debaters, were able to overcome the class above them.

T h a t august and honorable socicty, the Franklin Science Club, be­gan its nineteen-thirty and nineteen-thir ty-one season on Wednesday evening. December 17, IQ'^O, at the home of Mr. Ahrend.

T h e club was again under the guidance of Mr. Eli Allison, the science instructor. Membership was restricted to the Senior A class, and under the terms of the constitution only nine boys could enjoy this privilege. After the first meeting a student could only become a member by election. Those present at our initial assemblage who remained throughout the year were Messrs. Ahrend, Katzenstein, Morgenstern, and Wise. In ad ­dition to these charter members, our ranks were augmented by the admis­sion of Messrs. Weisman, Pokress, and Raphael to membership later in the season.

T h e club had only one officer, the secretary. Mr. Ahrend was unan ­imously elected to this post during the first meeting. T h e club met every week, w ith the exception of vacation and examination periods, at the homes of the various members. In the early part of the year we met on Wednesday nights, later we assembled on Friday evenings. At each meet­ing the host was vested w ith the powers of a chairman, but business meet­ings took place only at the beginning of the year. O ur meetings were thoroughly enjoyable and instructive; a good time was had by all, p a r ­tially bu t by no means entirely because of the delicious refreshments which our kind hosts prepared for us.

A m ong the topics which we discussed were aeronautics, rays, psychic phenomena, astronomy, radio and television, and automotive engines. W e also spent an evening dissecting various creatures from worms to rats.

The Red and Blue

T h e past year has seen the completion of the thirty-fifth volume of the “ Red and Bhie.’’ which was first published in the fall of eighteen ninety-six as the magazine of the Sachs Collegiate Institute. Since i'tis founding the "Red and Blue" has constantly endeavored to develop the literary talent of the students, and it has formed a permanent record of the school's many activities.

T h e class of nineteen thirty-one has good reason to be proud of the record which it has made at the helm of the “ Red and Blue.” While we do not feel justified in saying that its pages have shone with the reflection of genius, many boys have shown decided promise. We printed an u n ­usually large number of contributions during the past year, but this was only about one-third of the total submitted. We established m any new features. We maintained a poetry department for the greater part of the year, and we likewise published a one-act play of considerable length. We tried to cover all the various divisions of school life in an interesting manner.

Once again the Columbia Scholastic Press Association awarded third prize in the private school division to our magazine. T h is year, however, we received the highest award given to the magazine of any private school for boys alone in the country, for those magazines which placed above us were published by girls’ schools or co-educational institutions.

T h e Editors-in-Chief of the magazine this year were Herbert Gerson Ahrend and Joseph Rosenstein. T h e other members of the board were: Associate Editor, Carl M. T ipograph ; School News Editor, Fred N. Wise; Athletic Editor, George M. Baum ann: Exchange Editor, Arnold J. Loewenheim: A lum ni Editor, E dw ard Altheimer, ’32: Jun io r Editor, George G. Goldberg, ’33; A r t Editor, P. W . N a than ; Managers-in-Chief, Henri A. E. Weisman and Robert Samuels, latter ’32; Assistant Manager, M orton Sweig, ’32; and Faculty Adviser, Mr. Clifford W . Hall.

During the past years, one of the more platonic forms of sport, chess, has been carried on at Franklin. O ur teams have always met with a moclicum of success, ancl this year has been no exception. Despite the fact that tw o of the three games played ended unfavorably, the boys who com­pose the team actually won a bril liant moral victory. For they were handicapped throughout the season by the illness of Captain Katzenstein, and by lack of coaching. Besides Mr. Katzenstein, the team consisted of Messrs. Wise. Morgenstern, and King of Senior A, and Mr. Levene, an amazing prodigy from Jun io r II. A word of commendation is also due to Charles King, w ho so ably managed the team.

As a matter of interest, we are publishing, this year, the average of the individuals as well as the composite record of the team.

T h e long-awaited and much-heralded senior promenade took place on March twenty-first. I 'h i s was the fourth affair of its kind that Franklin has had. T h e school gymnasium was used as the ballroom. T h e gymnasium was so decorated with pennants, balloons, and colored paper, as to form a fitting background for the merrymakers. Luscious refresh­ments were also served.

M any under-graduates, alumni, and members of the faculty were assembled for the great occasion. T hey danced until the first hours of the m orning to the strains of music supplied by Paul Weil and his orchestra.

T h e dance was a success both socially and financially. T h e funds were used to aid in defraying the expenses of the ‘T rank lin i te .”

Unfortunately this year the Varsity Basketball Team battled th rough a most unsuccessful season. T h is was not due to lack of spirit among the members of the Varsity squad, but to poor material and much sickness. In fact, at three games more than half of our regular players were absent because of sickness.

It is very trying to play through an entire season, losing game after game. T h e members of our Varsity, however, never gave up and at all times tried their best. T h e only game that we won was the Alum ni con­test. A t the beginning of the winter it seemed as though our team would at least w in a third of the games on its schedule. These hopes, however, were not to be realized.

O ur coach, Mr. Macken, contributed greatly to the pleasure that all the Varsity candidates derived from playing basketball all th rough the winter. A t the Loyola game, since Mr. Macken was absent, Mr. Welling, our genial history teacher, took over the task of leading Franklin to the battle. In spite of the victory for Loyola, F ranklin put up a great fight.

N orm an Forster was both Captain and high-scorer of the team d u r ­ing the whole season. Gross and Robinson, the mainstays of the team, were next highest scorers.

After a very successful season last year, baseball again has occupied the boys at F ranklin during the spring. Nearly all of last year’s regulars were on this year's team. Mr. Macken took charge of the team, and with practice three times a week, he was able to round out a strong and for ­midable nine.

On the m ound we had Ed DeGoff, last season’s pitching find, and Dave Lang. T h is is the first time in many years that both twirlers have been of other classes than Senior A, a fact which promises great things for next spring. On first was Steve Dessau; on second, David Lang: at short, Bob Reade: on third, N orm an Forster. In the outfield we had Bob Gross, w ho held dow n the center field posit ion; Henri Weisman, Robert Schul- man, Haro ld Landau, Paul Lazare, and J o h n Gilbert. George Baumann was behind the bat to catch DeGoff’s wicked shots. Ju lian Raphael re­lieved B aum ann behind the bat. W ith these combinations F rank lin ’s 1931 Baseball T eam had a very successful season.

Again this season a Varsity Tennis T eam was formed, and matches were arranged with many schools. A round robin was planned to rank the players in their proper order. Because of the interference of the base­ball practices this round robin was called off, and the players were picked according to the way they played at the one practice held before the first match. Mr. Macken was our coach. W ith the good material in Senior A we managed to win more than half the matches on the schedule. T h e members of the tennis squad were Shevell, Dessau, Gross, DeGoff, Weis- man, and Forster.
