Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1942 volume:

he Key ajf pAeAe4iie by the Sesuxvi GIgM of 4 fyoSl UJOSU . . . We have been careful that they that read may have delight, and that they that are desirous to commit to memory might have ease, and that all into whose hands it comes might have profit, 2 Maccabees 11, 25 In this quotation From Maccabees our hopes For the Key of 1942 are well expressed. We trust that you who read will find profit and delight in the reading and much that is worth-while to keep in memory. We feel that a year book should be a record in picture and writing of the school year. Our theme, if it can be called a theme, is Panorama, and the book is intended to be just that—a panorama of life at Benjamin Franklin High School in this our senior year. This is a memorable year in world history, and it is inevitable that world events should have impinged upon our school life. We could not and would not be oblivious to the War and all it means. Some mem- bers of this class are already in the armed forces of our country. Many more are giving generously of their time and effort to defense classes, Red Cross work, and every other sort of patriotic endeavor. It is right that these interests and activities should color our book as they have colored our lives. Their presence here makes this Key a bit of history that is more than personal. II this year book keeps alive for us the happy memories of our school life and the pleasant days we spent here together, learning, growing, and becoming better Americans, we shall be amply rewarded for the time and effort we have expended. Now, may we present to you, for whom it has been written, a graphic and literary record of life at Benjamin Franklin High School—the Key of 1942.

This is the first war class in a period of ti- tanic struggle. Seeking to avoid war, we find we are forced to resort to it not alone to maintain our national dignity, honor, and prestige and to protect our possessions, but even to defend our liberties and our very lives. These conditions affect us all and have in fact entirely changed our direction. Hundreds of members of former Franklin classes are engaged in war, some have already given their lives to it, to be replaced in the ranks by others of their erstwhile comrades at school. Work is plentiful. Wages are good. Opportunities to serve are legion. Appeals to support national needs are frequent. We are rapidly adjusting to an existence dictated by needs of offense and defense. Our thoughts are centered on how to win and that as soon as possible. These conditions may persist for a considerable time. We may actually forget what life was like before war came, but let us attempt to keep steadily in mind these thoughts: that Franklin stands and will stand for Education; that although knowledge, training, and experience will help us win our wars, that the way of war is destruction and waste; and that the finest results stemming from our high school days must be sought in the days of peace which will follow. Message from Mr. Eddy To the Class of 1942: Greetings! Like the fledgling leaving the mother nest, you are poised upon the rim of your high school abode, eager to undertake your initial flight. You will sail into an untried atmosphere to fulfill your destiny. It is a turbulent element into which you are adventuring, but it is a world impregnated with challenge. You are bound for a mighty struggle. Whether the conflict will end in a better and happier existence will depend upon the choices you make. Opportunities, good and bad, worthy and unworthy, will be presented to you as they have not been presented to another generation. Your equipment must be intelligence, wisdom, and courage; your compass, a worthy purpose and an abiding faith; your watch word, service to your fellow men; your goal, a pleasant land. My sincerest wishes attend you. Faithfully yours, George E, Eddy 6 GEORGE E. EDDY Associate Principal Message from Mr. Sabin Another school year comes to a close—a year which will undoubtedly live long in your memory. This year has been noteworthy because events throughout the world have transpired with such suddenness and force as to challenge the best which we possess to keep steadfast our balance and purpose. It is significant that such a period in world history should coincide with a great event in your life—your graduation. More forcibly than heretofore you will meet the realities of life, some bitter perhaps, and some most certainly pleasant. Within you, to a large degree, rests the power, initiative, and drive to emphasize the latter. My most sincere wish for you now is that you guide your energies toward the noblest of values, as you see them. Then you have the assurance that your realization of success will be truly satisfying and enduring. Seniors, congratulations and good fortune!

People representing almost every race, creed, and nationality constitute its Student Association; and the descendants of Pole, Englishman, German, Roumanian, Italian—Americans all—study, play, and learn to be better American citizens together. All rights and privileges are guaranteed them by a government of the students, for the students, and by the students. Whether raised in fair criticism or sincere praise, the voice of the student is not ignored. Through such truly democratic educa- tional systems as our own, the ideals and principles of America will meet and conquer every foe! Franklin High has devoted herself earnestly to leading us in paths that equip us for the future. Franklin—as all the other high schools of our land —exists for the students—to serve them, and to instruct them in the way to intelligent life and suc- cessful livelihood. Yet, we students are the school. Recognizing this fact, we can only fulfill our obligations by having a complete comprehension of the code that we must uphold. There are definite moral aspects, which we, as students, must recognize. The most important is loyalty. Loyalty is the foundation stone upon which school spirit rests, and that devotion to our alma mater which we carry throughout our lives. From loyalty like the blossoms of a healthy plant obedience and the will to take advantage of school benefits are derived. Upon these three obligations to our school, tradition can be safely nurtured. Through our present efforts we too shall be able to establish new and better codes for future students to follow. Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you Matthew 7:7 This message among countless other ageless truths was expressed almost two thousand years ago by the greatest Philosopher of all times. But its profound wisdom has a special meaning for us, the Gass of 42, as we set forth on our load of life —many of us for the first time about to make decisions and opportunities for ourselves. We must do more than to wish, to hope, to desire success, happiness, and good fortune. After carefully determining our purpose in life, we must unceasingly strive to reach it. If we search diligently for our niche in this great world, and having discovered it, work just as industriously to hold it, nothing can keep us from attaining the goal we seek. We are at war. We—not our ancestors nor our descendants—we are. We are the boys who are going out to get killed or crippled; we are the girls who will wait for those boys, who will do their work while we are waiting. We do not know what that means yet. So far we are not even frightened. Maybe when War begins to touch our lives, encircle us, perhaps strangle us, we shall be frightened. But no matter how frightened we are, we shall never give up. We are young and inexperienced; but we are strong, too, and our eyes are sharp enough to see our fathers’ mistakes, and our wills are determined enough to make this war the last war. Other generations will have crimes, murders, poverty, misery. But never again shall the boys of future generations take up the sword to die by the sword. Never again shall the bloody mockery of WAR be a sanctioned institution in a world rot- ting with such institutions. We are going to wai—a war for democracy— to insure this. We must and will win the wai to insure this. And we will irrevocably insure this by our peace for democracy. A senior about to graduate is comparable to a hardened, weatherbeaten sailor who has braved storms and squalls and is now about to reach port. He has successfully navigated uncharted seas and has passed through narrow dangerous straits. Four years of high school life have taught a senior how to live in a large group, to co-operate with others, and to participate in activities. He has learned the traditions of the school, has up- held them, and has helped to establish new ones. On the other hand, a freshman is the inex- perienced young sailor ready and eager to start on the same voyage his predecessor has taken. He would like to know what lies ahead; he would like to learn to navigate his course; he would like to know the obstacles and pitfalls which await him. But too often is he left to his own devices. The seniors, who have lived th e experiences he is entering, withhold the guidance they could give him. Indeed he is often the subject of their jeering. These young students cannot begin to make their individual contributions to the life and tra- dition of Franklin High School until they have become acquainted with established traditions and standards. Therefore it is logically a senior's responsibility to acquaint freshmen with the ideals and traditions of our school so that more of the younger classmen may begin at an earlier time to participate in active school life and to make a maximum con- tribution to Franklin High School. 12 13 Senior ABRAHAM COHEN Standard Bearer JOSEPH ASINOVSKY Standard Bearer DOMINIC BRONTE President MR.

They could prepare for their next step. Today all our patterns and customs are confused, altered, and called into question. We do not know what the world of tomorrow will be like. It is not possible to choose one’s role and then prepare for it. The virtues which we must strive to acquire are adaptability, courage, and vision, for the world of tomorrow is a new world in which no matvknows what part he must play. The Council elected to represent seniors this year has worked hard and sincerely. Activities that they have planned have had to be changed to meet constantly changing conditions and to produce results that may be most beneficial to the seniors. Miss Rachel Langworthy and Mr. Raymond Boland—their conscientiousness, their thoughtfulness, and their wisdom have been decisive factors in the success of the Class of 1942 and its Council. As the executive branch of the senior class’s government, the Senior Council has met the challenge of the time with efficiency and devotion.

We wish It were possible for us to honor fittingly those of our number that have devoted their lives to the service of our country. They may be assured of a living memorial in our hearts. [t is good for us that remain, however, to recognize the fact that we are not without opportunity to do loyal service right where we are. With increasing frequency reports have come to us that today there exists a serious lack, not of man power but of thoroughly trained man power. War today, they tell us, is a struggle of training against training, not just brawn against brawn. Things have a way of changing as the years pass. Waterloo was won, as Wellington said, on the football fields of England, but this modem War of Liberation will be fought, partly at least, from the class rooms of America. All this points to us! We have a duty here, serving in the way of faithful training, in the way of old fashioned scholarship, to the end that when the hour of our active service comes we may be . . . READY. They also serve who only WORK and wait! 34 ActuUti b 35 • I l Editorial . . . The true depth and character of a person can be more easily detected by his participation in the after-school activity of his own choosing than by h is accomplishments along the conventional lines of study which he pursues during the school day. When he is permitted to select his own field of interest, he develops skill and proficiency much more eagerly than when he follows a routine outlined for him by someone else. Not only is he becoming adept in a particular field, but he is also making friends who understand and share his feelings and hopes, and he is serv- ing himself, his school, and his country. Although the students of Franklin have interests varying in number and sire, there are clubs to meet the demands of all. If those to whom the clang of the two-forty bell means an immediate dash to the nearest exit and home were to slacken their pace some afternoon, they would be surprised to find a bun of activity continuing in every corridor. In one room, perhaps, would be some hopeful young artists trying their skill under the competent eye of a weJUtrained faculty advisor. In another they would see the wheels of student government turning smooth- ly. The enchanting strains of music floating down from the fourth floor would captivate them, and they would understand the secret of perfection of our musical organiratoins. Shouts from the gym would show that the basketball team was practicing late again. Tracing their excellence from such co operation and school spirit would indeed be simple. Ves, these people are spending their leisue time wisely and constructively. Of immeasurable value to our high school graduates of today—the citizens of tomorrow—are the human contacts made, the leisure time well spent. Far into the future will the influence of after-school activities be felt on their lives. 36 Prison Matron Bailiff . .

Executive Council Junior high problems, senior high ideas, faculty suggestions—all these important phases of high school life are represented in the Executive Council. It is the duty of this representative group, elected by the Junto, to appropriate money, to introduce and reject ideas, to grant awards, and to discuss school prob- lems. The Executive Council is just another reason why the Student Association of Benjamin Franklin High School functions smoothly and efficiently.

Every member of Benjamin Frankiin High School's large population is democratically represented in its Junto—a body of students, selected by students from among themselves—two members from each homeroom. Candidates for school community office are selected by the assembly. The victorious president, vice-president, and secretary also become functioning officers of the Junto. These preside at semi-monthly meetings where, with advice from several members of the faculty, legislation is executed to promote the general welfare of the school, to strengthen Franklin's role, and to assure an acceptance by Franklin of both its voluntary and essential duty in helping to secure the world that all good men desire, Red Cross Committee A Committee at Work The Key Makers For months the dummy has been the Editorial Board s major problem.

When the Key Staff began its work last fall, we did not realize that before the Key went to press, war would come to America and to Franklin-with air raid drills, first aid courses, black-outs. Red Cross work, and defense courses complicating the daily life at Franklin, which the Key seeks to portray. We did not know that some boys at that time looking forward to graduation would be foregoing the diplo- ma for a gun. Key photographers saw pictures everywhere and caught them for you. To the talent industry, and co-operation of the Art Staff, the Key owes much. They have developed a money getting technique that should make Mr, Morgenthau envious. They date you up individually and collectively. They finished the Maharajah. The Business Manager lookson. In the comparative quiet of last fall the Board began work on the dummy; the business a advertising staff laid plans for financing the Key; photographers had their cameras clicking; and art staff submitted designs for division pages cartoons. By the time the senior section and typists were at work, the Key and all the other senior activities that usually dominate the seniors1 lives were over- shadowed by the war. In the midst of all this the staff members have worked faithfully. The circulation and publicity staffs have done their work so well that the financial success of the Key is assured. It is the earnest hope of all who have worked on the Key that it may achieve the only kind of success that is important to us—your approval.

In the practical democracy of Franklin High School, a means of student expression is essential; this means is the Courant. Published every two weeks, the Courant informs the student body pf Franklin High School of the activities of the stu- dent government; it informs students of school projects,- through its letters-to-the-editor column, it offers every student an opportunity to voice his opinions, and it points out the duties of Franklin to the community. This year the Courant gained recognition for its fine work in furthering practical democracy in Franklin in a National Education Association Magazine article which praised the Courant’s policy of scientifically conducted refer- endums on vital controversial issues.

Optimates Students choose to study French to become acquainted with the beautiful language of a people. When such students are able to speak the language commendably and understand the literature and customs of France, the old and the new, they are accepted into membership of the French Honor Society, Les Babi I lards. As mem- bers, they enjoy programs at bi-monthly meet- ings, and participate in culture-extending, inter- scholastic gatherings. The adviser of Benjamin Honor Franklin's Les Babillards is Mrs. Jane Dunham, whose constant efforts have helped to make the Society and the language in which it is interested, definite factors in a program which offers to those interested, the joy of understanding and appreciat- ing French culture.

In addition to furnishing stirring music and colorful display for school events, such as Franklin Day, the band lends its services to the community at exercises of all types outside of the school. The members of the band secure training both as musicians and as members of a group, each one an integral part of a functioning organization. This training helps toward responsible membership in the community, a primary objective in secondary education. A sense of responsibility and self-reliance is developed by members of the Benjamin Franklin Orchestra. The experience of working in a group toward definite objectives enriches the musicians with training in social democracy; this training parallels the actual musical benefits derived from practice” and performance in a well-rounded organization- During the 1941-42 semesters the orchestra was again directed by Mr. Karl Van Hoesen, who was ably assisted by Mr. Benjamin Scammel, and later, by Mr. Rodney Peterson. Franklin looks with pride upon the splendid work done by its senior orchestra, one of the foremost high-school musical organizations in Rochester. A Cappella Choir Our choir—a flash of crimson—a burst of sons. The popularity of the A Cappella Choir is evidenced by the sigh of enjoyment with which ordinarily blase student audiences greet its appearance for performance in assembly. The choir ably directed by Mr. Matthew Lyders, contributes generously to school and community programs. The sweet voices of the Girls Chorus strike every ear with full resounding beauty. On wings of song they waft their hearers from the mundane land of everyday to the fair land of make-believe.

Editorials Benjamin Franklin High School is famous for the very high standards of education it has set up; yet we are of the belief that there is one important aspect of our school life in which much improve ment can be made; that is, a sense of true support and school spirit on the part of the average student, We patronize basketball because it happens to be a winning sport, but we seem to boycott other sports not as successful. It is nearly impossible to get near the semi-annual election meeting of the Junto, but I have heard that moss is growing on the seats since the last election. Upon being reprimanded by our Principal concerning the un- tidy condition of our floors, we all become 'don't drop paper1' minded. Let a few forgetful weeks roll on and you will have difficulty finding the floor. As school election comes, candidates make fiery speeches advocating wonderful plat- forms, and one might think that a golden era in school government has risen. But if you wait about one week, you wi II find that this new era is just around the corner as prosperity was in 1930. It is evident that many of us do not care to support seemingly uninteresting projects, and we decide to leave them to the students who already bear the brunt of the burden. This sad condition can only be remedied if we all realize that d emoc- racy by a few is not true democracy. We re on our own. It's up to us to make a place for ourselves in this war-wearred world. We re at the proverbial crossroads. For some of us this is not the end of formal schooling; we have merely passed our first mile- stone—college is ahead. Other graduates are pre- pared to enter a defense industry or an office. Unde Sam may eventually take a hand in the future of still others. But whatever our course, we can be confident in the knowledge that we are prepared for it. Now there must be no cries, W. P. A. here we come 11 Now there must be a will to work. Opportunity is before us; our task is to make the most of it. 'No man is an island. Every man is part of the main, But books are islands—lovely, mystic, impreg- nable islands, where the world is not lost or for- gotten, but transformed from the unyielding stuff of reality to the evanescent beauty of make- believe. Books can be comforts and refuges sore labor's bath, balm of hurt minds . , Books are wisdom and knowledge; they carry within them- selves untold treasures. Too many people regard books as dull and ponderous. To them reading is almost agony. Yet if they but took the trouble of reading, they would discover that there is no person for whom there is not a book; there is no mood for which there is not a book; there is no problem that a book can not help to solve. Give books a chance. Those very people who dislike books can most profit by them. Seek for the treasure books hold—they are worth the search. Our country $ military forces are not the only ones fighting this war against totalitarianism, militarism, and aggression. The civilian non- combatant is of equal importance in the war effort, for it is his job to help supply the armed forces with vital war materials without which they cannot fight. Many civilians are working in war industries, helping to manufacture war supplies. But there is one way in which every civilian can contribute to the war effort and that is by the conservation of those materials of which the supply is limited. Every one of us is feeling the effects of the war through the shortages of various commodities. Our rubber supply has been cut off and the amount we have available now must be used al- most entirely for war purposes. Enemy submarine activity in the Atlantic has made it impossible for the eastern coastal region to obtain all the gasoline it ordinarily consumes. Thus a gasoline shortage has been caused in some parts of our country by the disruption of transportation facilities. The increased consumption of sugar for war purposes is clearly affecting every civilian, and government regulation of sugar distribution has already become a necessity. These are only a few of the many cases in which the supply of civilian goods is decreasing. We know that the war cannot be won by men alone but rather by a combination of men and sufficient supplies. Every civilian can help main- tain the flow of supplies to our soldiers and sailors by conserving every possible kind of material which can be used for war purposes. The job of conservation is ours—the job of the civilian army. 56 57 Sports Editorial The development and training of the mind is not the only factor in the education of America's youth for its future responsibilities as citizens of our nation; the creation of a strong, healthy body is of equal im- portance, for these are times which not only “try men’s souls’’ but try their physical endurance as well. In Franklin High School the athletic program is so diversified that every individual has the opportunity to select for himself the kind of sport from which he can derive the greatest amount of satisfaction, recreation, and physical training. In addition to the regular gymnastic program, such games as football, baseball, soccer, basketball, swimming, track, cross-country, tennis, archery, badminton, and even ping-pong provide a wide range of choice. The importance of sports in school life cannot be overemphasized. Competitive sports are of special significance and value to spectator and participant alike. The individual player who actually participates in the game learns the value of unity, loyalty, co-operation, and fair play; his senses are sharpened, his physical agility increased, and his mind con- ditioned to split-second thought. Watching a game is an exciting form of recreation and serves to some extent as an emotional outlet. The roar of the spectators during an exciting interscholastic contest clearly indicates the value of sports as a nucleus for school spirit. Sports teach both player and spectator important lessons in good sportsmanship and fair play; to accept defeat graciously and to strive to their utmost for victory. At Franklin High School we have favored an extensive sports program because we have realized that sports are a practical and adequate means of teaching and encouraging the high ideals and principles of living which we are endeavoring to instill in the hearts of American youth. 58 Girls Athletic Council Front Row: Ruth lucyshtm, Evelyn Buskus.

Then before a capacity crowd in the Edison Arena, they won over the Inventors by a score of 26-28. Next came the victory over Madison 21-18 and the capture of the Inter- csholastic Basketball Championship crown For the second consecutive year. Congratulations!

The out- standing, critically observed game of the year was the exciting battle with the Edison High squad in which our team finished with banners flying by the triumphant score of 1 3-0. Under the dynamic coaching of Mr, Kress, the team has completed an unusually successful season, but the Coach believes that the Quakers may look forward to even greater wuccess as they grow in ability and experience. Soccer The Franklin “hooters have had a very successful season ending second among the high school contenders. They have to their credit 7 wins against only one defeat, the game with the champion team, Madison. Among the interesting games, there was the clash with West, in which our team skillfully triumphed by the final reading of 6 to 3, Another desperate opponent was the Edison Inventors, who fell before the Quakers. Despite serious losses due to this year’s graduation, next year's forecast reads high, wide, and handsome.

Cross Country Franklin’s Cross-Country Team has been a troublesome opponent this season The team has given many brilliant performances despite the loss through graduation of several of its best members. The present team is gaining experience and speed and the prospects for next year are bright. Track Mr. Colburn, coach of the cinder diggers ’ has developed a strong team this year. The team took fourth place in the interscholastic race. Among individual runners meriting our attention is Don Brown, who achieved local fame by completing two successive years of running without a single defeat. All boys are eligible for the team, and each may experiment in sprinting, distance running, pole vaulting, high jumping, broad jumping, disc throwing, and hurdling. Back Row: Robert Flynn, Charles Albright, Al Mors, Bob Schreiner, Edward Uttlebetter Malinowski, Joe Weber, Ray Jablonski, Mr. Torrens. Front Row: Alex Papas, Paul Marconi, Mike Bajou, Mando Petronio, Santo Patti, Ray Klimack. Baseball Under the supeivision of our new gym teacher, Mr. Morse, the team has been in high spirits and in good condition. Having approximately one-half of last year’s players, the team has been in there all the way, and has surely been a threat to the other high school ball teams. A fine pitching staff, good catchers, an excellent out- field, and an able infield have put Franklin in good stand- ing and have carried the team through a successful season. The Last Word And now another page is turned; the sheet titled future gleams with shining blankness. What words already penned or about to be penned will some day march here in close-lettered parade? What events will some day be recorded here? What dreams find here either graves or bright memorials? The page mocks maliciously our attempts to find on its unlettered surface the answers to these questions. No answers here, for the Future guards its secrets jealously; only the Past and the Present disclose answers to Life. Yet from the Past and the Present we have gleaned enough to know that there is bitterness enough in the Future. Oh yes, pain and hardship— and even worse—grating monotony and spectral failure. But girded with weapons fashioned for us from the Past—our training, our faith, and our courage—we face that Future aware yet unafraid. So we go into the world, some smiling, some fearful. And even when the fight rages, our eyes, that disclose Life's cruelty will unveil Life's beauty; our ears deafened by Life's din will be gladdened by Music's deep delight; our heart embittered by Life's pain will find comfort in Earth's boundless charms. And although Age eventually twists our bodies into grotesque caricatures of Youth, we shall at the end as at the beginning continue “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield, The Personal Financial Program For You gives SAVINGS • PROTECTION • SECURITY Through 1.
