The KEY . . PUBLISHED BY THE Class of June 1935 Benjamin Franklin High School ROCHESTER, NEW YORK American High-School Anniversary i 1HE year 1933 ushers in an important anniversary in the _X life of the American people. Three hundred years ago the first American high school—the Boston Latin School—was founded. It tvas established in 1633 only fifteen short years after the landing of the Pilgrims. From a small beginning with one instructor and a handful of students has grown the splendid service now provided for more than 6,000,000 young Americans by 26,000 public and private high schools. These schools are developing the most precious resource of our Nation, the latent intelligence of our young people. It is worth noting that social progress in the United States is following swiftly on the heels of the remarkable expansion of educational opportunity at the high school level. 1 hope that the young people of every high school in the United States will celebrate this three hundredth anniversary. 1 hope they will celebrate it in a manner which will bring vividly before parents and- fellow townsmen the significance, the con- tribution, and the goals of their schools. Courtesy of School Life ' American High-School Anniversary R April 23, 1935 was a memorable date in the history of American educa- tion. On that date the Boston Latin School, the first American secondary insti- tution, completed three hundred years of existence. This anniversary is being observed throughout the country on the scale and plane which the American ideal of public, universal and democratic education deserves. The American secondary school has passed through various stages, each well fitted to its period. First was the Latin Grammar School, a purely college preparatory institution for boys and of which the Boston Latin School is the prototype. Next came the Academy of which the first was founded by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia in 1751. This institution extended the curriculum to include preparation for all walks of life. It grew rapidly until about 1850, reaching its fullest development in this state and notable examples still survive. Then came the Public High School, the first of which was established in Boston in 1821, and which has been the dominant secondary institution for the past 1 forty-five years. More recently secondary education has been extended down- ward to include the junior high school and upward to the junior college. Fifty years ago scarcely one out of every thirty boys or girls, fourteen to seventeen years of age, was attending a secondary school. The increase in attendance since the beginning of the present century is one of the amazing social phenomena of our time. Today more than one-half of all persons in this country fourteen to seventeen years of age are enrolled in our high schools. This briefly states the situation of the American high school of yesterday and today. We are on the threshold of developments equally remarkable. Tomorrow all our youth will doubtless continue at least to their eighteenth year in schools with curriculums to meet the needs of all, adapted to the abilities of all and adjusted to challenge the interests of all. THE KEY salutes the thousands of American public high schools, the pride of their various communities, in this Tercentenary year. PERSONNEL Roy L. Butterfield William Wolgast .

No or- ganization can successfully survive without experi- enced leaders to point the way. In this respect our class has been indeed fortunate in having secured ■ Dorothy Abert these fine teachers as its mainstay and support throughout its stay at Franklin. Good advice, well heeded, makes for success. We, the class, appreciated the wise counsel ren- dered us; we, having implicit faith in our advisers, prudently followed their suggestions; the result— a troop of graduates humbly grateful yet sagacious.

Preston Tate E. DeMars Bezant MUSIC f MR. MARLOWE SMITH Music, the one means of expression of the soul readily interpreted atfd appreciated by us all, plays no small part in Benjamin Franklin's extra curricular activities. Our band and orchestra are fine evidence of what can result under skilled, untiring direction. The competent conductor, Mr. Karl Van Hoesen, has turned out a group of instrumentalists ranking among the best of such school organizations. These groups alternately furnish the music for our assembly programs. The orchestra furnished the music not only for the senior play, but also for the play given in Italian by the Renaissance Society. It must also be present for such occasions as might arise throughout the year. The band presented an excellent program over the radio in commemoration of the tercentenary of free secondary education, . A new musical organization, sponsored by the student body, is now under way. Those most skilled in the band and orchestra are being chosen by Mr. Van Hoesen to take part in a dance orchestra. It is hoped thus to encourage perfection as well as to organize a select few who can furnish a popular type of entertainment. The year 1934-1935 finds the Department of Vocal Music in a flourishing condition. The A Cappella Choir now has the largest registration in the history of the school. There are one hundred and fifteen students enrolled. The choir recently sang with distinction at a Sunday evening service at the Asbury First M. E. Church. It also par- ticipated in the Annual Spring Music Festival at the Eastman Theatre in the week of May 20. The members of the Choral Club, under the direction of O. Matthew Lyders, are being skillfully prepared for work in the Choir later on. A large and enthusiastic Junior Chorus has been organized by Miss Anne Morrow. It is preparing for an operetta to be given in the fall of next term. The Girls' and Boys’ Glee Club, which are under Miss Morrow’s able direction, have a large registration and are preparing for a future appearance in assembly. Miss Anna Yurkiw, contralto, post-graduate of Benjamin Franklin was one of three singers from Rochester to win in the Vocal Solo Contest conducted at the Eastman Music Supervisors’ Conference at Pittsburgh. This entitles her to participate in the national contest at the conference to be held in New York in March 193Gv The winners of this contest will receive a full scholarship for such schools as the Julliard in New York and the Eastman School of Music. The newest vocal organization to receive approbation from students and faculty is the Franklin Opera Guild. This group consists of fifty selected voices from the Choir. It was organized by Mr. Marlowe Smith for the purpose of presenting operatic excerpts in English at our assembly programs. To date, the Opera Guild has presented three programs, a scene from Act II of Madame Butterfly” by Puccini starring Betty Robfogel and Anna Yurkiw. A Levee Scene” from Jerome Kern’s Show Boat” featuring Joseph Jup- kicwicz; and the Prison Scene Act IV from Verdi’s II Travatore” with Miss Anne Morrow and O. Matthew Lyders. On Franklin Day, the Guild will offer a short Indian Opera by Cadman entitled The Sunset Trail.” As one may readily see, no member of this school need be left outside the pale of the realm of music. Each one can fortunately get experienced training, and those who exhibit any special talent are given every opportunity for its development. W.M v MR.

Anne Rosenthal, the enthusiastic leading lady of the amateur production, excellently portrayed the lead in The Torch-Bearers.” David Decker, her wronged, adamant husband, lived up to all of our expectations, while Norma Lifshutz, the aspiring directress of their huge success” seemed to have been the character whom George Kelly himself had in mind when he created Mrs. Pam- pinelli. Sylvia Gray, the attentive promptress, did her very best to keep the spectators laughing. The entire cast, under the energetic direction of Erie Remington, was amply repaid for its work by the manner in which the enthusiastic audience received the pro- duction. 42 SPORTS The students of Benjamin Franklin High School owe much to the Health and Physical Education Department for its unceasing efforts in promoting physical education activities and health practices among the girls and boys who make up our number. Not only have our instructors given attention to inter- scholastic representative teams, but also have they given freely of their time, both during and after school hours, to the organization of homeroom leagues in all branches of athletics: to correction of physical defects; to recreational clubs as horseshoe, archery, hiking, golf, and tennis; and to many other inter- esting and profitable leisure time activities. This broad program of health and physical education activities is open to all students from the junior grades to the post graduates. One result of such a wide-spread program has been that varsity coaches here at Franklin find that candidates for school teams are better prepared to participate in ad- vanced work requisite to success in interschool events. We may point with just pride to the many championship teams we have already produced, due to a great extent to the emphasis on the intramural work, especially in the lower grades. Our most recent championship feat was the winning of the Northern Division basketball championship with the loss of a single league game. Last year’s championship track team was composed of many veterans who are still in school, and who will be out to do their best to bring another successful season’s record to us in June. All of our most accomplished track stars have been keeping in condition throughout the year by participating in extra curricular activities and attending gymnasium classes. Among the girls, physical education activities have become increasingly popular. Their program includes a wide variety of sports such as basketball, hockey, soccer, dancing, archery, hiking, horseshoe, baseball, tennis, and a most capable leaders’ corps. Baseball teams from Franklin command the respect of all opponents, for they can and do play heads up ball. The early training in intramural leagues, plus the excellent instruction received from the coach, enables our boys to give a good account of themselves always. And so we run through the list of varied events—track meets, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, hockey, speedball, first aid classes, traffic squad, gym classes, corrective work, hygiene and physiology instruction, social dancing, tap dancing,—and cannot help but extend our thanks and congratulations to the excellent work being done by the entire health and physical education staff, both men and women, under the leadership of Carl G. Chamberlain. The more successful their program, the harder and longer they work—but they like it, and so do we! 43 GHOSTS I can still remember, just as clearly as if it were yesterday, the night, about twelve years ago, that my parents and some friends were telling ghost stories. I sat as still as a mouse on a stool in the center of the room. I imagine my ears must have looked like sails for I was listening so hard that they must have stuck out The story tellers were conscious of my intentness for as I stopped to thifil after- wards I remembered that they would tell something startling and then look at me to see if I believed them. As a matter of fact I didJ One of the women (she should have known better) told of a lady whose baby had died and every night when she went to bed (she lived alone, her husband was dead) she would imagine that the baby was on the chair next to the bed and crying. The woman would lie in bed and pull her hair. It was told with much more color than I can add, and therefore it was much more horrible than I can make it. On the way home from this house I walked in the middle of the street regard- less of the fact that my mother and father were with me. It was an unusually dark street, and added to the ghost stories it made me glance around continually to see if a ghost were waiting in the dark shadows to pounce on me when my back was turned. That night when I went to bed (I slept alone) it took me a short two minutes to get undressed and into bed. It was before electric lights were common, and I had none in my room. As soon as I got in bed, I covered my head and was afraid to look at the chair standing next to my bed for fear that I should see that baby there. That fear stayed with me for more than two years and I always was deathly afraid of going to bed, but I would never let my parents know lest they should think I was a fraidy cat.” Now that I am older and know better, I can sympathize with any child who is afraid to go to bed alone after hearing a gho|t story. No person should deliberately tell ghost stories to small children with the intention of giving them a thrill. The re- sults are often too serious. Grace Krembel, 12-A REMINISCING Alone she sits whose eyes are dim From weeping over loss of him He, whose every care and strife, The very essence of her life Had gone. And as the lonely years go by She waits the day when she might die And go to him who’s waiting there To a happiness they both will share. In mind she goes back through the years, Their plans, their hopes, their groundless fears Back to the day when they were wed The happy tears that she had shed And all those years together spent Had been a blessing heaven-sent. In time, when she was twenty-one The Lord had blessed them with a son; But then, alas, he too had gone He never woke to greet the dawn And he had offered sympathy The while he held her tenderly. They’d gone through life, both vict'ry bent And shared each earned accomplishment Together. Now reminiscing is her lot A faded love is all she’s got, For they have gone, His Will is done He’s taken all, her love, her son And he whose aim had been to please Has left her naught but memories.

(6th Year of REPORTER RISKS LIFE TO UNCOVER BIG PLOT INDIAN WAR THREATENS; ARMY READY To arms! To arms! The Redskins are upon us! Captain Miles Standish Braver- man reports that his scouts have seen war- riors of the famous chief Running Water Sabatini approaching the township from the vicinity of Irondequoit Bay. Citizens are called upon to come to the defense of the town and to report with full speed to the fort at Hudson Avenue and Norton Street where muskets and armor will be issued. The Student Musketeers of Corporal Daniel Verna will reinforce the present garrison which Captain Braverman says is; inadequate; so there will be no school dur- ing the Indian Wars. All able bodied men will be drafted into the service and the women will stay at home to make more of their famous hard cookies to be used as ammunition against the Indians. According to Captain' Braver- man (and there never was a braver man), the officers for this war will be: 1st Lieu- tenant, V. Joshuah Brown; 2nd Lieutenant, Ebeneezer Clair Kecm; Sergeant, Peter the Great Sxwcc: and Corporal, Bona’parte M. Fmcf? AT Aloyuisious Buskus will be drummer boy and general handy man.

ORGANIZATION NOTES The Gashouse Academy of Fine Arts has honored Bronislaus Karpowicz, the great maestro and violinist, with membership in that exclusive body. Karpy” was chief fiddler to Czar Max Nikles III Kaminski, before Nick hit the trail for kingdom come. You know— When he wanted something hotsky, Karpy played him a hot Kasotsky. He played fiddle for the Czar.” Cheer up, it can’t last forever. Congratulations to Alphonse Buskus and O'Henry Svetikas on their election to the, Noble and Illustrious Order of Stooges of America, Incorporated. Busky was chosen, for his general all-around excellence as a faculty stooge, and Hank for his outstand- ing stooging in Mrs. Boynton’s fifth period “chem” class. Secret Investigation Reveals Student Conspiracy By STEVIE NITE The Octopus has wound its tentacles around our schools! Secret agents are at work in Franklin High School trying to overthrow the stud- ent government! These startling facts were uncovered by your correspondent, Stevie Nite, of the Snooze-Telegram, in a recent secret in- vestigation which he conducted to uncover the ploKthat is being hatched by red or- ganizers in our city schools. The Radical Studentist Party, with head- quarters in a swanky penthouse on Yeast Avenue, has a paid organizer who is the keynote of the whole campaign. Under his direction there are two student organ- izers working at Franklin High School, Janice Natasha H. and Lenin A, Dykes, both of whom are being paid with foreign gold. They have organized the Franklin Stud- entist Club which is affiliated to the In- ternational Studentist Association, with headquarters in Moscow, (Not Ma’s cow) Pa. At present they are contemplating a ten week school walkout beginning June 21, 1935. Reports indicate that the student body is solidly behind the walkout which will end the day after Labor Day. The group has already held several street cor- ner meetings preparatory to issuing the final walkout call. At the last meeting Comrade Dykes made SENIORS GIVEN 8:15 CLUB AWARDS By unanimous vote of the membership it was decided to present school service cer- tificates and life membership in the 8:15 Club to these members of the senior class who have done the most to make the teachers’ attendance work more interesting. Miss Louise Coulton, school attendance officer, says that life wouldn't be worth living without the interest and zest lent by these lucky seniors: Michael Iuvi na, Julia 'Always Present” Finch, Ralph Never Tardy” Chickovsky, Walter Chap- tiony, and Jehiel Novick XI.

IDIOTORIAL! From a Speech by Randie Hearse Feller Americans: “America today is faced by a terrific catastrophe. An alarming number of our college and high school students are actu- ally beginning to think for themselves! They have been bodacious enough to decide that war is wrong and that the munitions makers have no right to 1000% profit! What will become of our country if wc allow the students to go on thinking this way? What are we going to use for can- non fodder? This is all the fault of the Radical studentist Party. They have sent their secret agents into our schools and have even penetrated the sacred confines of our very homes. They are trying to over- throw everything by teaching that war is wrong and that the workers are actually human and should run their own govern- ment! This-is very bad indeed. Everybody knows that it is sweet and fitting to die for your country and that the proletariat or working people are sub-human. Only people who live in pent houses and ride in limousines and marry rich foreign princes are fit to govern. We must wipe out the Radical Communist studentist Party! We must do away with free speech and send all the people of European descent back to their own country. Let’s have a bigger and bloodier war to keep the world safe for the profit makers and . . . mgfwump . . ” At this point Mr. Hearse was squelched by some over ripe vegetables bestowed by a group of his admirers.

We, the class of June 1935 of Benjamin Franklin High School, in the city of Roch- ester, county of Monroe, state of New York, being of sound mind and memory (?) do make, publish, and declare this our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, hereby revoking any and all Will or Wills made by us heretofore. To the faculty we return Miss Abert and Mr. Lipson, our class advisers, with many (hanks for the loan. To the class of 1999 we leave the privi- lege of being the first class to use the swimming pool since its closing in 1933. To all history classes we leave the Social Studies Lab with its varied assortment of noises from the electric shop below. To the students we bequeath The Co ur- ant with hopes that they will see that it receives a decent burial. To Mrs. Pitts and Mr. Francis wc give permission to publish any and all of our excuses. (Some of them were pretty good, eh, Mr. Francis?) The remaining books in the libraries we leave for the use of interested students. To the class of January 1936 we also leave the right to use the graduation gowns. (Sixty-five cents, please.) Our seats in seventh period we leave to all ambitious'' students. Save one for Neil Sullivan. He’ll be back in September. To the next graduating class we leave what is left in our treasury, a bill for $7.32. Please pay promptly. To romantically inclined students we leave the corner of the main foyer near the Lost and Found booth. Don’t ask us what to use it for. We didn’t ask the class of January ’35. To the hungry students we leave all the gum wads stuck under library, studyhall, and assembly seats. The undamaged gym lockers we leave to those who can get them. Don’t try using a can opener on them, please. It doesn’t work. And to everybody in the school we leave the delight of getting rid of us. Happy days are here again.

We’ve been thinking of having a beauty contest among the senior girls this term. Our best guess is that Cyril Fay will come off with all the honots. m While Mr. Hobbs used to wait on the comer for Mr. Ross to take him to school, his wife and children would wave to him and watch through the window to make sure that he went with Mr. Ross. So what? Miss Blanche Thompson has kept a list of all the books she has read since she was ten years old. Well, someone has to keep up the literary standards of the school. About a half-dozen of our over-am- bitious seniors consider Meyer Levin a real swell fellow. They ought to. N hat would they use for homework if it wasn’t for Meyer?
