Be with them in the dawn surprised by grief, Through lone and hungry watches, grant them ease From rapture and from pain. O, make night brief, And in the day fling out a guarding host Along that reckless course-their winning: most In their triumphant hour, remember these.

With this thought constantly in mind We have compiled our class annals, striving to give full expression to the accomplishments of the past three years. During that time great changes have taken place. We are the last class to remember that first assembly in the fall of nineteen twenty- six, and now We, too, are leaving. It seems impos- sible that subsequent classes can learn the affec- tion and pride with Which We novv regard our school. Something of us has gone into its makingg June '29 is one of the foundation stones upon which Overbrook's future glory must rest. We offer this book as a permanent and pleasant reminder of the fourth class. N ffffwnref ae' iff-' ef-at are elif 10 Ee HARRY L ever. Mctzwm om An 12 Hoamscm ELERYUR ELLINB sim- Moen Nr .A.t-vial.

A sky-writer! Joking aside, Basky's voice will most likely take him on the air, even if Tommy won't. With the advertising office, the glee club, and the baseball diamond as his mental, vocal, and physical stamping grounds, Basky is in for a full but interesting career. S. A., A. A., A. A.

Quite likely, since he delights in building ship models, which are usually eifectu- ally clothed in a. coat of modest gray.

Each came and was prepared to worship and con- tribute in his own way. From this vast body, various sects were formed, and one of the most outstanding was the 'iClass of June, '29. This class worshipped and served at their temple well. With al spirit of good will and honest endeavor, they overcame their difficulties and printed upon the shrine of Overbrook their name, to be always linked with service. Three years passed and the Class of June, '29, advanced many steps and were renamed Alumni, The Alumni, once a staunch body of fellow students, now became divided and were prepared to journey forth into other fields of endeavor. Yet each one of the Alumni could but stop to dream again of the past, and his heart throbbed with happiness at wha.t he had gained, and sadness in realization of his loss. Over and over again he stopped and thought of his days at Overbrook, and as he went over each incident of his high school life, it was as though an arche- ologist had unearthed the tombs of the ancients. So each Alumnus starts out to unearth the treasures and memories of his high school career. He is the archeologist who is to rediscover and unveil the mysteries of his own past and of the entire class. As he goes back to dwell on days of yore, at first he finds it difhcult to chance upon a vulnerable place into which he can pitch his axe and shovel, and start to dig. The tomb con- taining his past is steeped with an atmosphere of the dead. Suddenly a tiny crevice appears which lets forth a stream of light, and immediately a suggestion of class organization arises. The Alumnus continues to dig, and digs deeper-each time, finally 'N' L E742 mfr- g-- Wig f ii Wig 482 eg 117 lie discovering that the earth has become moist and pliable. After a month or two of full-hearted co-operation, his shovel strikes upon a huge figure that is at the entrance of his tomb of memories. He and his associates, who are all intent upon the same accomplishment, work as quickly and efficiently as possible to clear the figure from their path. After a while they succeed in clearing the figure and find it to be that of an Egyptian Goddess. Behind this cold marble countenance, one can easily discern character and keenness of mind. Below the actual figure is an inscription which reads: Miss Beatrice N. Spinelli, sponsor of Class of June, 1929. A light beams forth upon each Alumnus and his mind turns back to one who served his class so faithfully and who was a companion, and friend, as well as a helpful advisor and fellow-worker. Now impatience takes hold of this youthful explorer, and he goes on to delve deeper into the past. He is soon rewarded for his effort and dis- covers that he has entered the holy of holies-a room which contains the treasured history of the Class of June, '29. This room is so crowded and full of valuables tha.t he and his com- rades are at a loss as to how to proceed with the investigation. There- fore he decides that they shall start from the entrance and trace the history of the class as portra.yed on the frieze surrounding the walls of the room. The first figures cut on the frieze are, Pharaoh surrounded by his wise men, and at the foot of his throne are a vast number of people. Ah, the Alumnus soon connects these figures and finds that this Phara.oh is none other than Leonard Titelman, first president of the class. He is surrounded by his wise men, Ann MacCorkle, Vice-President, Alice Kinsman, Secretary, Irvin Karr, Treasurer, and his cabinet consisting of Morton Orman, Ruth Schindler, Miriam Herman, Albert Milgram and Wm. Wa1la.ce. This modern Pharaoh is kind to his people and in imparting to them the laws and decisions of his cabinet, Democracy and self-government are prominent. The banners of the class was midnight blue and jade green and each member of the class wore his pin containing these colors as a sign of devotion and class spirit. ' The next group of figures on the frieze portrayed a group of men and women working upon various tasks. Pharaoh's wise men have honored a chosen few to head the mass. The Ring Committee consisted of Alice Kinsman, chairman, Belle Haim, Jacob Kirschner and Warren Smith, the Tie Committee of Miriam Her- man, chairman, Beatrice Nova.ck, Miriam Benton, Jean Genovese, Violet Kanefskyg the Pin Committee, Irvin Karr, chairman, Edna Slatcher, William Williams, the School Supplies Committee, Morton Orman, chair- man, Dorothea Best, George Pepper, Jean Smith, Virginia.

This spirit was so characteristic of the class throughout its entire existence. Consequently all the members wished to be connected with the class, so the girls pur- chased ties of blue and green, and the boys purchased buttons, with '29 inscribed upon it. The exploring party journeyed further on, still reading the history of their class. The next inscription on the frieze was a wedding of two Egyptians,-a slave girl and an Egyptian noble. The Alumnus easily guessed that this symbolized the welding to- gether of the Student and the School. School rings were soon to be ordered. The tireless effort of the Ring Committee headed by Alice Kins- man, chairman, made it possible to have the rings ordered on March 28, 1928, and distributed in a very short time thereafter. The Alumnus was next attracted by a very large pyramid-like building which was not as yet complete. Yet a decided advance in the building was noticeable, and many people were on the steps leading to the top. The term had drawn to a close and with it came one of the features of a new age, the election of oflicers by the people. It is the fourth term, and class organization is rapidly approaching a climax. The old Pharaoh is now in seclusion and his place is filled very ade- quately by Harry Buck, President, his wise men being Ann MacCorkle, Vice-President, Alice Kinsman, Secretary, Irvin Karr, Treasurer. The cabinet consisted of Margaret Ellis, Miriam Herman, Katherine Killian, Irving Malerman and Howard Schaffer. Under the new reign the following subdivisions were made: Ring Committee consisting of Alice Kinsman, chairman, Belle Haim and Jacob Kirschnerg Tie Committee of Miriam Herman, Rose Cotler, Jean Genovese, Elizabeth Cole and Margaret Schmitt- heimer, Stationery Committee of Irving Malerman, Margaret Ellis, Dor- othea Best, Norman Broomall and Pearl Tanking Welfare Committee of Katherine Killian, Ann MacCorkle and Joseph Parsons. The last figures in the center of the room showed a wise man reading a scroll, which showed that at the end of the sixth term in Overbrook the Class of June, 1929, had a clear slate, free of any old debts. The seventh term found Leonard Titelman re-insta.ted as President, Ann MacCorkle, V ice-President, Albert Milgram, Secretary, Albert Porter, Treasurer. The cabinet consisted of Miriam Herman, Harold Simon, Rose Cotler, Harry L. Buck, and Irvin Karr. This year, beginning with Septem- ber, 1928, was the most eventful in the history of the class. The nation's Capital was invaded by the classes of February and June, 1929, on Fri- da.y and Saturday, November 1 and 2. New memories came to the fore when the Alumni discovered some fire-escape signs that had been appropriated by the class from the corri- 'N - -eff-' TC- 45 Neill..

Each Alumnus then looked back upon the two days of the Washington Trip, each realizing again the various thrills and pranks he had experienced. Remember the time-and-. One of the choice tales told was that of Michael Flood and his temperamental nature. Michael cherished great hopes of leaving the hotel to attend a midnight show. Unfortunately Mr. Jackson, who was one of the chaperones, prevented this and therefore Michael could do nothing but console himself by pouring out his fiery opinion on all authorities to Leonard Titelman, in the latter's room. It was a wee hour in the morning that Michael returned to his own room and upon his arrival there avenged himself upon the world at large by awakening his roommates with applications of ice cold towels. I-Ie then proceeded to turn on all the electric lights in the room. After this burst of temperament, he read a volume of Hardy's poems until 4.30 A. M. Various pajama parties were in session on those evenings and it was with many regrets that the class journeyed back to Philadelphia. The expedition was reluctant to leave memories of Washington behind, yet future discoveries urged them on. Just then a great noise was heard and the entire party rushed for- ward to the spot Where the commotion had originated. A new discovery had been unearthed! A large clay urn, with a huge Sphinx painted upon it, had fallen to one side. Lo, and behold !-to the surprise of all, there streamed forth dozens of beautifully colored balloons, green and red streamers, confetti and branches of evergreen, all in a per- fect state of preservation. Will the Alumni ever forget the scene that greeted them upon their entrance to the gym on the eve of December 14, 1928, at the Christmas Party of the Class? Strains of popular music floated out upon the air, as couples swayed rhythmically under colored lights, large balloons and draped streamers. The beautifully decorated Christmas Tree twinkled his welcome to all. In rapid succession, there was a prize dance, a novelty dance and a play called the Trysting Place, presented for the entertain- ment of all present. It was one of the high lights in the memories of all concerned. Then an Alumnus paused and remembered that there existed an actual written record of the class. Although it proved more interesting to sit and dream of the past, he must not forget those who helped to com- plete this history, in the form of a Record Book. The staff consisted of Alice Kinsman, Editor-in-Chief, Isadore Isenberg, Assistant, Harold Simon, Jean Smith, Miriam Herman, Harry Buck, Morton Orman, Reba Cobrin, Alfred Egendorf, Beatrice Novack, Frances Holstein, Sam Rose, Sallie Sander, Eleanor Ellens, Beatrice Robinson, Michael Flood, Business Man- agen 7,11 B-LV-E its 'l'a '-- if-f.gfl Edg e fy W if 3 iiifcills 4 Wai?

SL 2 g egg 120 ggi The party now arrived upon the last lap of the journey and one of the iirst important events was the election of Harry Buck and Miriam Herman as President and Vice-President of the Students' Association respectively. The next group on the frieze was a procession of slave girls dancing for their masters. The Alumni cannot help but compare this group to the one that worked so hard to plan the Senior Prom for the class. It was held on May 24th, at the Brookline Square Club. Pictures of beautifully gowned girls contrasted vividly with the severe black of the young men's formal dress. The dance program showed the names of the Prom Committee: Irvin Karr, chairman, Bernice Graham, Dorothy Fox, Leonard Titelman, Samuel Rose, Donald Denton. Lew Chapman's famous orchestra added to the gayety of the occasion. A The next symbol showed a. long procession of men and women walking to receive their final reward from their masters. The Alumnus blinks a tear away and a sad smile comes over his countenance. Commencement night, the night that must sever the ties that had taken so long to form. Four years were over and the night of June 25 must be the climax of all high school days. Three hundred and twenty-five students walk up sedately to the plat- form for the last time. The Commencement Committee, consisting of Jacob Kirschner, Doro- thea Best, Miriam Herman, Leonard Titelman and Frances Holstein, beam upon the speaker of the night, Dr. McClelland, Vice-Provost of the Univer- sity of Penna. The black and white gowns together with the deep orange of the bouquets instill in the audience a reverence that marks the night as a special one. The doorway is reached again and upon the frieze a banquet table is shown. The entire class is feating around the table. It is the last organ- ized meeting of the class. As they feast and laugh they are well aware of the pain that their inevitable parting will cause. It is through the able leadership of Harry Buck that an organized group was able to make this last gathering so successful. The Banquet was held on June 22 at the Adelphia Hotel. At' the doorway the leader of the party stoops and picks up from the floor an extremely large piece of parchment. He opens it and just before leaving his tomb of memories to go into the practical world once again, he reads the following aloud: Last Will and Testament of the Class of June, 1929. We, the class of J une, 1929, bequeath to the understated all our posses- sions to be found at the designated places. If there be any disagreement, we hereby appoint Miss Beatrice Spinelli, as executrix of our estate: To the Freshmen we bequeath all of our knowledge and dignity which :Es-'X' .L Tic.-fffgnnuiiyz'-L-gig L1 fifty' their S44-qigwgll flat- fl jf? el- f.

SflEllHIlfD4l3llHll9S MESSAGE HAT voice is crying loudest in the American wilderness today? The answer to the question might easily be the voice of prohibition, because the difficulties inherent in the enforcement of that law keep it uppermost in our national mind. But as loud and vibrant as is that voice, it is not the one that commands our chief attention and challenges our supreme efforts. Overtopping it in bigness and outcrying it in loudness is the voice of law and order. While possibly the prohibition law is broken more frequently, and the disorder incident thereto is greater, than is the case with any other statute, it is the general attitude of the public with respect to all law that is causing universal alarm. Somehow or other the idea prevails that it is smart to break the law and get away with it, whether this smartness is expressed in carrying a hip flask or in disre- garding a traffic signal, or in shooting up a bank and making away with its funds. One cannot too strongly condemn this kind of smartness. Not only does it reveal the guilty person to be one of weak will and of sheep- like tendencies, but it does violence to all standards of right conduct and of law observance. It makes us pause to ask, What is wrong with our boasted democracyg is the fundamental principal, individual self-govern- ment, breaking down? It leads President Hoover to say in a recent address: If law can be upheld only by enforcement officers, then our scheme of government is at an end. Every citi- zen has a personal duty in it-the duty to order his own actions, to so weigh the effect of his example that his conduct shall be a positive force in his community with respect to the law. What is the attitude of Overbrookis June Class on this vital question? As schools we sense our responsibility to be not only the education of the mind through the traditional study of books, but also the development of character by precept and example, and the training in citizenship through student community organizations. Here we have striven hard to prepare you by these processes to answer this question, and to answer it right. The test now comes to you, and, through you, to the school. Our eyes are upon you. Are you going out of this school with an intelligent and discriminating mind and with a will to do right in the face of the low standards of public morality that seem to prevail, or will you yield to the weak and selfish alter- native of interpreting all laws, and frequently breaking some, to suit your personal convenience? There. can be only one answer to this question by Overbrook graduates. In the name of the school, let me ask you to range yourselves on the side of the President in the determined effort he is making to brak up the easy habit of flaunting the law. PARKE SCHOCH. A dr: ffegfg stiff Z 'G' KE' K: JD eff 123 gg? ' lIFAlIRllE5W7llBIt9llI9 T is too bad that a comradeship of three years' standing should termin- ate at the moment when it seems to us richest and most gratifying. Even the Senior Prom, the banquet, and the other closing affairs of our companionship have not removed the regret of our parting. However, though the leave-taking be inevitable, we shall always have the pleasantest memories to look back upon. Indeed, I am sure that the friendships f-ormed here are going to play a vital part in the future happiness of our lives. . We have been prepared by the faculty to do our share for the welfare of society. Some of us will, undoubtedly, accomplish great things, and it will be with pride and pleasure that we shall follow the progress of our class celebrities. Nevertheless, regardless of the degree of our success, who of us in later years will be able to deny the benefits and pleasures derived from our early training at Overbrook? Student and faculty, friends alike, made the pursuit of our studies happy. We, as a class, were especially fortunate in having Miss Beatrice Norah Spinelli as our sponsor and friend. It is due to her that the record we leave at Overbrook is so fine. Her efforts were not confined only to the business of the class, but also to the happiness of its members. The Washington Trip at the commencement of our Senior year began many new friendships and strengthened old ones. From that occasion there was a new feeling of intimacy existing among the students. Being in the Senior Class is in itself a bond, and all the opportunities to make closer this bond have made us as united a group as ever left a high school. Our Commencement is probably the last time we shall all be together. Some of us must inevitably remove to distant parts, and we must face the fact that we shall never again be fully reunited. I think this quite an appropriate time to wish you all the best of suc- cess and happiness in your chosen fields of endeavor. There is no doubt that in a few years there will be a number of Phi Beta Kappas among our col- lege representatives and that our quota of business men will contain several eminent .mer-chants and financial leaders. I think I shall never be able to express in mere words the benefits and pleasures I have received from my associations with my class. Being Presi- dent of such a group has been a broadening experience for me. I can only hope that the last year has been just as happy and interesting for you.

During that time prosperity had shone upon me. I had waxed rich and decided to retire. To see the world had been one of my prime desires, and, having nothing to do, I decided to travel. Egypt, which had always held some mystic fascination for me, was to be my first destination. Once in the land of the ancient Pharaohs, as the Sphinx was an object of my curious interest, I set out to visit it. In the vast spaces of the desert, searching for the famous mystery, I wandered for hours. Onward, still onward I went, groping in the dark- ness, when suddenly I felt myself drop into abyss. Then all became a blank. When I opened my eyes once more, I was surprised to see that the scenery around me had changed considerably. I was lying calmly beside a brook surrounded by beautiful countryside. At my side I heard a voice. Of course, I looked up. The handsome physiognomy which greeted me was that of my old classmate, Michael Flood. A voluminous flood of verb- iage was pouring forth from his lips by which he was praising some city. By much effort I stopped his silver-tongued o1'atory and asked him what it was all about. He explained to me that he was President of the Chamber of Commerce of a city which Overbrookites had made their habitat. Anx- ious to see my old classmates, I asked him to lead me to the town. We stepped into his beautiful Ford town car of which Horace Sparrow was chauffeur and Earle Slaughter was footman. As we sped along the road, the chauffeur's knowledge of the course impressed me. It seemed that he knew every bump on the roa.d. He did not miss one. After driving for quite awhile, I noticed to my right a group of men constructing a gasoline station. Giving orders to his henchmen in a stentorian voice was Bill Foote, presumably the foreman. Among his hardy helpers were QM Q- selnwvra. swf, ariffk ae'lfif5le Faf if31.,,.i,..i,..,.,..ibi,.,..fw eff 125 ig, William Dickerson, Joseph Cusworth, Frank Richards, Stanton Wolf, Nor- man Strang, James Jordano, Martin Landenberger, Benjamin Nusbaum, Wilbert Rudder and Reuben Sax. As we skimmed along the Retsacnal Ekip for that, I was informed, was the name of the highway, brilliantly colored signboards greeted my eyes. An immense billboard advertising a certain brand of cigarettes open champ, advocates 'Pick-up' cigarettes. The tobacco used is the cream of the crop. There's not a cough in a tournament. In the distance I saw what I thought to be a brilliant danger-signal. As we drew closer I discerned that it was merely Robert Banks' red hair. He, too, had his picture on a sign board. He was attired in a snappy suit of X. Y. Z. underwear and was pictured as saying, Next to myself I like X. Y. Z. best. Beside this was a poster advertising the concert to be given soon by the world famous trio, Katherine Lippincott, pianist, Kath- erine Stellfox, cellist, and Dorothy Marple, violinist. The next advertise- ment to attract my attention was one for Ice cold cream. Miss Rose Cotler, prominent society hostess, was portrayed as saying: I use 'Ice' cold cream da.ily. It preserves my school-girl complexion and makes my skin the one you love to touch. It is the only cold cream I know which is unaffected by the heat. There was a dearth of billboards for quite a stretch of the road, but then the inevitable ones reappeared. Here the popular young automobile manufacturer, Samuel Stein, manufacturer of the famous Stein Curved Eight, and also holdeer of the world's speed record for automobiles-he had gone 374.21753 miles per hour-was ex- plaining the merit of his product. Sam, being known for a speedster, conserved his speech by merely saying, The ace of all autos! Nearby was another billboard. I use Woodloury's Facial soap because it is 99 73f10OZp pure, said Miss Theresa Frankel, chosen by a group of well- known artists as Egypt's most beautiful girl. The interesting information which I was gleaning from the advertisements was put to an end as we entered the much-praised city. As we rode up the main thoroughfare, we were stopped by a handsome traflic cop, Jacob Robbins, who started to say words which are not in- cluded in the best dictionaries 9 but very courteously permitted us to continue when he saw the occupants of the car. After several minutes' riding, the car stopped in front of the beautiful City Hall. This was a huge, towering building which reached high up into the clouds. At the summit of the tower was a beautiful statue, a marvelous likeness of Miss Spinelli. At this moment Mike's body-guard, four stalwart youths, Jack Booth, Henry Farr, Vincent Sgarro and Mitchell Greenbaum, came to meet us. Accompanied by the reinforcements we entered the impressive edifice. With a low, ceremonious bow, Arthur Porter opened the portal through fra-3 H- Eff' Jef- TS N-Pf. liner' rr 'X y aflfillsa 4 Wai?

Benjamin Grant, the elevator driver, told us that he had his ups and downs, and we truly believed him. He took us quickly to the mayor's handsome suite of rooms. We we1'e cordially greeted by the May0r's charming hostess, Anne IVIacCorkle. She showed us through the outer office where a force of stenographers was at work. Among these were Beatrice Epstein, Dorothy Williams, Rose Kassel, Sara. Frader, May Zurfass, Anne Geller, Rose Fein- stein, Ann Bershad and Florence Waldman. We were then ushered into the office of the Mayor's esteemed private secretary, Sallie Sander. Eleanor Elins was assistant to the secretary, Charlotte Lyons was assistant to the assistant, while Edythe Platt was first assistant to the secondiassist- ant. Finally we were ushered into the inner sanctum of his honor, the Mayor, who proved to be Len Titelman. We were greeted by firm hand-. shakes and were promised the freedom of the city as a token of which a golden key was to be presented to us. The key was brought in by a big chubby page boy, Norman Broomall. It was nestling on a purple cushion whereon there was embroidered a golden key. The mayor then invited us to lunch with him. Being very hungry, I accepted, but Mike excused himself on the ground that he had important business to transact. At the push of a button, Archer Brown brought in his honor's high silk hat and silver handled cane. As we passed through the hall on our way out of the building, we were greeted by the broad smile of one of the janitors, Charles Bruton. Among the window cleaners were Philip Mendick and William Newton. . We proceeded to the hotel at which we were to partake of food. It was a magnilicent structure. Seated around the beautiful lobby were many of the society leaders such as Pearl Herman, Oliver Heinze, Paul Alexander, Martha Patterson, Selma Album, Dorothea Best, Eileen Grace and Nathan Blumberg. Upon entering the Blue Room, the Mayor was greeted by the maitre d'hotel, John Field, who showed us to a table. The menu was printed in Egyptian, so I was at a loss as to what to order. Finally I pointed to something and asked for an order of that well done. I was informed that it would be impossible to grant my wish for what I had ordered was the manager. I pointed to something else, and luckily I picked food which appealed to my palate. After luncheon I proceeded with the Mayor to see how the political machinery of a great metropolis is run. The Council was in session. As we entered Albert Porter had the floor. The City Comptroller-that was Al's job-was trying to account for S6,742,831.76, which was missing from the treasury. The Council, composed of such pra.cticed politicians as Martin Davidson, Horace King, Ward D. Keever, Eli Baskewitz, Ralph Protas. it 17' S' i ,553 QR AIM? I Q ff ,gg 127 ga Maxwell Obert and Sidney Rosenthal, and such famous women politicians as Margaret Ellis, Bernice Thomson and Doris Paul sat listening as the Comptroller spoke. The Mayor's Cabinet was also present. The renowned political boss, Irwin Karr, famed head of the Karr Clique, was director of Public Works. He presented or rather forced upon us black La Cuerda cigars fthree for fivej. I gently lit one of the cigars, little realizing the disaster which was to follow. Soon great clouds of smoke filled the room and everything was blotted from view. Within a few seconds, six lire engines arrived to extinguish the supposed flames. Among the sturdy file fighters were Harry Skoboloff, Stewart Miller, Elmer Olsen, Oscar Cohen, George Crawford, Samuel Dinnenberg, William Singer and Leon Weinberg. When the smoke was cleared away, I left the Council Chamber, bidding good-bye to the Mayor. I resolved to visit the court room. The bailid, David Chern, arose and called the court to order in his deep, bass voice. Hear ye, hear ye, the Court of, etc. Presiding over the court was the stern judge, Nathan Sterling. The defendant was the notorious racketeer, John Di Pietro, arraigned for seriously wounding that other famous gangster, George Lang. The jury was composed of Leon Kallick, foreman, Eli Jaffe, Martin Nai- mark, Dorothy Robertson, Louis Kohn, Gertrude Zamrin, Helen Weber, Reuben Goldman, Victor Bell, Bernard Latman, Paul Benson and Rose Gileshansky. Di Pietro had for his attorney Anton Lieberman. Anton was called a criminal lawyer although it had not yet been proved that he was. The prosecuting attorney was Samuel Kravitz. Arguments began to fly thick and fast, and deciding that I had enough hot air in one day, I ventured toward the cool outdoors. It was still early in the afternoon and a tour of the city was what I intended. As I walked down the main thoroughfare, a huge crowd, gathered about a display window, caught my attention. I made my way through the seething mob to see what the attraction was. My efforts were rewarded. Eugene Gridley, the great physical culture expert, was displaying his brawny body to the onlookers. Such a magnificent physique! Such breadth of shoulders! Such strength! Such height! Such marvel- ous muscles! He lifted with ease a thousand pound iron chest. As I stood I heard many sighs and ahs from the feminine members of the crowd. I wended my way onward. V The next object of interest was the huge building which housed the- Da.ily News. I entered. The composing rooms of the paper were places of much bustle. There were various typesetters and copy boys running to and fro. Among the typesetters were Edwin Erickson and Lloyd Faison. Printer's devils were Herbert Cox, Charley Dovey, Fred Kotzen and Meyer Kaplan. The editorial rooms were the next places to which I went. Here busy reporters were pounding typewriters vigorously. .L 9:-1,2 ? ' -- 7? fiiifalaf Z f if 'E- ,-gg-3,,.,,,-,,.,.,l..,.,.,.,..fU . 463. if 128 The editor-in-chief of the News, Isadore Isenberg, greeted me and volun- teered to show me through the building and introduce me to his staff. The introduction was unnecessary as I found that I knew them all. An ener- getic reporter was James Birdsall. He had charge of a special column called Aunt Emily's Advice to the Lovelornf' Mildred Hallowell, Doris Hastings and Lillian Hermann had charge of the women's page. Reba, Cobrin took care of women's sports and did it well. Charles Kuhs was Obituary Editor. Snappy short stories were written for the paper by Betty Slass, and how they were written! As a short story writer Betty had few peers. In her chosen field she had risen to heights. Isadore handed me a sample of the paper, fresh from the press, and I gleaned it. In glaring headlines I saw, World Famous Surgeon, J. Mor- ton Orman, Performs Miraculous Operation. As I read through the article I learned that Morton had discovered that the bacteria, removed from the antennae of a flea, could increase the span of life to three hun- dred years and keep one from growing old if the said bacteria were grafted on to the human brain. He had performed the operation to illustrate his discovery and performed it successfully. Norman Perlmutter was the victim. All the civilized world was awaiting the results of this great piece of human endea.vor. I also read, Alexander Willis, World's Foremost Sleuth, Unravels Unique Mystery. He had learned what becomes of the goods that fills the holes in stockings before the holes are formed. He was being hailed as the mastermind of the age. I learned many more items of news from the paper, notably that Alfred Egendorf and Law- rence Kasakoff, renowned scientists who had long ago showed the incom- pleteness of the fourth dimensional theory, had propounded a new theory of fifth dimension. Then, too, Frances Holstein, who, as a historian, had put Carlyle to shame, had just completed her latest, The Genealogical History of the Zulus of New Zealand. The sporting news was the next part of the paper to which we turned. Here Sam Rose, the sports editor of the paper, conducted a humorous column called, Behind the Front, in which he gave his observations of all lines of sport. Here I saw that Joe Minsky had just signed a S100,000 contract to play with the Homer-Hammerers of the Nile which already had such sluggers in its line-up as Prettyman and Graves. In headlines there was the information tha.t Milton Harris had won the heavyweight wrestling championship from Josef Greenfield. The winning hold was the famous combination ear and toe hold employed by Harris. I also learned that Sidney Shenker, commonly known as the world's fastest human, had run the hundred yard dash in eight and two-tenths seconds. One of the outstanding notices was the king pin of all summers. Donald Denton, had won the gold engraved toothpick put up as prize by that Scotch philanthropist, Harold Dumm, for the first man to swim the FS 4- va-my vasuwgrizgr -5,1 3--42 wvzmmy - if I., PM lib gif g l Q- R ,F Y I, ' ' tiff-X f it egg 129 gg, Pacific Ocean. He did it in the remarkable time of seven months, sixteen days, twenty-one hours, forty-seven minutes, six and seven-tenths seconds. Here, too, I saw that Herman Brodsky had set a new record for decathlon competition. He won the title with the amazing total of 94690217 points. Irving Backman, the human tennis machine, was writing a series of articles to appear exclusively in the News, He toldithe younger generation how he rose to such magnificent heights. Nor was the paper lacking in educational news. It was stated that Alexander Freund, the great classicist, had just completed a book of Latin verse in anapaestic nonmeter which was putting Virgil and Horace out of use. It had already passed the blindfold test and was preferred by the 802. Bernard Miller, 'the greatest mathematician of all times, who was said to be better than Newton, Descarts and Einstein put together, had concocted a new branch of mathematics which 'he was not yet ready to announce to the outside world. There were also many advertisements in the paper. A full page was devoted to the famous moth-proof wallets designed, manufactured, and sold by Lester and Leon Jaffe. As I glanced through the paper again I saw' that William Allen was returning home for a brief vacation. His great knowledge of the French language in particular and international law in general had caused him to be appointed ambassador to France. I also saw that Eve Tessler, society's most pop- ular leader,.was to give a grand bal masque on her househoat on the Nile. By this time I also noticed that Eve Goldsmith had Won a marathon talk- ing contest. By this time I had read the paper from beginning to end I thanked IZ for his kindness and left the building. The much spoken of futuristic art gallery was the next place I visited. Only four artists contributed their masterpieces to this gallery, but these paintings made those of Rembrandt, Rafael and Michael Angelo look like cheap cartoons. The contributing artists were Ann Eshner, Leo Weiss, Helen Stone and Joseph Parsons. The most conspicious works were The Record, by Ann Eshnerg Soup, by Leo Weiss, Dawn, by Helen Stone, and Blank by Joe Parsons. When I ventured out into the street a sharp rending cry reached my ears. I ran toward the spot where it seemed to emanate, hoping to rescue the poor tortured soul. However, my fears were put to rest. The cause of the disorder was merely Albert Sonstein, the painless dentist, who was extracting a tooth from his patient, Norman Rosenthal. The city airport was the next stop for me. The world's premier aviatrix was manager of the field, Miriam Silver- man. The owner of the field was Lindbergh's sucessor, Thomas Condax. Henry Schaeffer, one of the aviators, seemed to be up in the air about something. No, he was not angry. He was merely patroling in his biplane. Grace Nichols also was an aviatrix, but she was not present at the time GTV W ln' iff '. 5-42 gli? ma Ein 'G7 Q 5 Y -H K1 .2-!f1.9 .g ' 4,S-i..-A..,.i,,JfH Jiiv,-,gig-,fr,,,-'QiAv, ,vi gf r .fgg 130 ga As it was growing rather late and as I was in search of both, food and entertainment, I decided to kill two birds with one stone and visit a night club. The Night-Club-on-the-Nile was my choice. The place was owned by the shrewdest of all night club owners, Leon Redman. Lee per- sonally welcomed ea.ch guest. Then I was introduced to the night club's most charming hostess, Beatrice Robinson. Bea was the original little girl who got the big hand. She ceremoniously welcomed me. After handing my hat and coat to a cloak room girl, Elda Tettamente, I was shown to a choice table by the head waiter himself, George Pepper, Jr. The music was supplied by a jazz orchestra and its leader, Simon Asin. Among his musicians were Bernard Meyers, Albert Willey, Ted Izen- stark, Paul Grubb and Morris Babis. I was impressed by the large gather- ing of femininity at the club. However, the reason for this was made clear to me when I gazed at the unsurpassable master of ceremonies, Walter Povlotsky. Walt announced that he arranged quite a program, and he was more than right. The first number was by that well known song-and-dance man, Sol Fishman. He almost brought down the house. Next on the program was a rollicking monologue by that incomparable wit, Harvey P. Strauss, the personality boy. The subject of his discourse was The Sphinx Can't Be a Woman Because It's Silent. There followed a brief intermission during which I had a chance to observe some of the celebrities about me. In a far corner I noticed George Robbins and, Henry Abramowitz, noted millionaires. They had amassed a fortune in the ivory business. There was also a most attractive cigarette girl winding through the crowd, Edna Slatcher. At the table beside me was seated the well-known movie hero whose famous singing and talking voice had raised him high in the firmament of stars. Irving Malerman had become John Gilbert's successor. Seated at a table on the opposite side of the floor was the popular fiction writer of the day, Carol Asnis, attired in a brilliant crimson gown, she was very beautiful. I learned that her latest book, Sincerity and Truth, was one of the best sellers. In .a. short while the program was resumed. Miriam Scherer, the blues singer, accompanied by Walter Povlotsky on the violin, offered a song. Walt also joined in the chorus. After this a snappy clog dance was given by the chorus led by Harriet Meyers, the premier danseuse. Some of the beautiful ladies of the ensemble were Theresa. Dvinoff, Evelyn Levy, Esther Brose, Esther Corbi, Mildred Goldberg, Eve Gornick, Dor- othy F ox, Jean Genovese, Betty Tracton, Estelle Cave and Reba Shiller. This number was followed by two of the most graceful exponents of acrobatic Terpsichore-Russell and Ethel Young, assisted by Howard Schaeffer. 'This ended the long but enjoyable program. 5 E, E. ....A4 . r ae il ag 131 lg? G As it was growing late Cor I can say early without being facetiousj I decided to leave. On my way out, I stopped to chat with Jacob Kirsch- ner. He told me that because of his golden voice he had won much fame as a radio announcer. I also got a glimpse of David Ellis, the great mis- sionary who had just returned from a six-year stay in China. Ruth Schindler and Pearl Tankin, the greatest bacteriologists since the begin- ning of all times, were also present. Ruth and Pearl had become most proficient in the study of insignificant bacteria. The two had isolated 4,321,862 types of bacteria and had already exhausted seven Latin, Greek, and Hindu dictionaries in naming their finds. Their startling revelations had astounded the entire world. Much tribute was being accorded them. It was in the small hours of the morning that I reached mv hotel. As I wished to read a bit before going to bed, I went to the news counter and purchased a copy of the Egyptian Magazine from Solomon Yanko- Witz. He told me that this was the first magazine to reach a circulation of 5,000,000,000,000. The reason for this remarkable output was quite evident to me when I saw that the editor-in-chief of the magazine was the very competent Alice Kinsman. Because of her personal efforts and those of her brilliant staff, the magazine occupied an important place in the life of the people. The periodical itself was most interesting. A most unusual cover design was the work of the clever brush of Frances Spiel- berg. There was an interesting story by Beatrice Novak. An article by John Williard, the retired farmer, entitled How I Made Millions in the Hay Businessf' was one of the features. Betty Slegman contributed an article on bridge and how it should be played. Betty was the most renowned bridge expert in the country. Jonathan Muroff, the inventive genius, explained his latest device, the combination tooth brush and nail file. This explanation proved too much for me, and I fell asleep. After a few hours of refreshing slumber, I awoke. Having partaken of a. hasty repast, I decided to make the nation's capital my destination. Within a few hours I arrived there. I proceeded to the Capitol where I met the president of this great nation, Harry L. Buck. He was in confer- ence with several of the high officials. Miriam Herman, the most ener- getic and enterprising vice-president the nation had ever known, was seated beside his excellency, the president. Several cabinet members were also present. The suave diplomat, Albert Milgram, was secretary of State. Morris Kauffman, the Secretary of War, was in conference with Sidney Burnstein, ambassador from Wei-hai-wei. The two were trying to prevent war between Mesopotamia and Kwang-Chay-Wan. A meeting of Congress was in session, so I decided to visit it. Here Bernice Graham, the fiery speaker of the House, was in charge. For a bit of diversion I decided to go to the famous Raiken race halk which was nearby. David Raiken, the owner, had risen to such success - -ee Mae, Aw, 'N afifiila fiat? Q wa Qigwiiy Y W QQ 17 VK ' egg 132 536 because of his wide knowledge of the ponies. I reached the halk just in time to see the first race start. Among the jockeys I was able to discern Louis Villiger, David Sklawff, Thomas Campbell, Bernard Goldstein, Howard Goldberg, Paul Diamond and Harold Strat. They were off l Tha.t is, of the horses, were off, while Strat was off his horse. His mount seemed to take a dislike to him and gently cast him from the saddle. Greased Lightning , with Diamond up, won the race. Pandemonium broke loose. Wild cheers arose. Turning I saw a group of fair fans loudly cheering the winner. In the group were Virginia Philson, Mildred Faris, Kitty Newman and Betty Cole. In a box before me I saw Charles Ukkerd faultlessly attired as usual. Men's clothing was fashioned after his decree. There were many other familiar faces scattered through the crowd, among them Professor Richard Scheel, Mortin Elkins, Rosamond Caramignano, Beatrice Cantor, Esther Spivak and Cecilia Wiseman. The horses were being lined up for the second race. Suddenly, a shrill bell rang. The scenery of the race track faded from my eyes. All be- came dim. Then the surrounding scenes became familiar to my eyes. The bell was still ringing. It was my alarm clock. Alas! all my experi- ence had been but a dream. What a dream! HAROLD SIMON, J EAN SMITH.

The cause is a mystery, since Over- brook is fortunate in having as its mentor Dr. O'Brien, one of the best high school coachesin the country. However, let it be remembered that the boys were always trying their hardest to heap glory and fame on the school. At the end of the season a distinct honor was conferred upon Over- brook in having two boys, Porter and Manning, chosen for all public high honors. Other boys who turned in brilliant showings were Parris, Hart, Levin and Schaeffer. + ff:-'f Hmgf-at 5 'fe'--4 gli? ' 55.
