It certainly went over big. The fellows were so enthusiastic about it that plans for a second tourney were AN . . .see mf s Q f Q 1 'Z' ' broached, but time did not allow their maturing. Valinsky and Vinston, co-editors of the A-Men, made a regular journal out of our class tabloid. Sax Stahler, Seltzer's former choice for the editorship answered to the call of duty as the shining light of the Cenfralizer and was com- pelled to give up the class paper. Praise is hereby tendered to Irv Malish, Len Fass, Ed Tamkin, Dick Woolven, Moish Kleiner, and Bernie Brodkin for their outstand- ing work on the class paper for two terms. One morning Prof. Robinson dropped into our Books and distributed ballots 'in' if-F , X.: 1 1 --C': exif -.fy Qs inniilllullln f O . ,x 39 , 3' l L 5.3 A 'iff .5- for a surprise Popularity Honor Men election.

Hanley Rubinsohn and Tex Weiner succeeded in getting a scrambunsious show entitled The Student Prince of l Heidelberg. Not even the price of one dollar and more for admission could hinder , the sale of tickets in our class. A complete sell-out resulted and the treasury waxed fat. At last our final social event occurred-the Senior Prom. Through a vote taken in the class, it was ruled that the affair should be semi-formal. Chairman Schnall and Director Kaplin carried-the gala event through successfully. No great financial success was expected and none was received, but nevertheless we did earn a few rubels. Socially, our Prom was an overwhelming success. The class treasury now began to function properly. By March 16, a near 75 per cent payment from each fellow had been received. The zero hour for the com- plete payment of dues was set for 2:50, Friday, May 1. Prof. Robinson, Treasurer Fishman, and Assistant Treasurer Feldman, visited the Books nearly every day to encourage the payment of dues. Treasurers Chodeck, No. 1, Motis, No. 5: Vin- ston, No. 4, and Perry and Kelly, Industrials, handed in fabulous sums of money at the meetings of the Treasurers. The second report came and passed Only a few more weeks and our Days of Atonement arrived promotion and incidentally graduation Our picture contract had been made by Milt Prensky with the Zamsky Studio Individual map pictures had been snapped at the beginning of the term Group pictures remained to be taken of the big shots and little shots of the class By May 1 all pictures and material for the RECORD BOOK had been submitted oey Shaltz assisted by Profs Robinson and Pairman put the finishing touches on the RECORD BOOK and the class archive was sent to press Page 'Vzneteen Ffiff V V' lfti' I T522 5x1-x ir? , wg' L w X111 :Rift cl' .I lx. vim . riff- fi Maasai f-sYv.,J ,, . . i. . .

,,, at ' r we be - A at -t f 'aw' I A ee ' 5 E138 35 A Andy Gump came to visit us this term. At least Sydney Smith his sponsor and biographer visited C. H. S. and presented his famous character with a series of sketches which raised huge cachinnations among the students. Oh, Minl Our football team for the second consecutive year brought home the b con. The eleven, working as a unit, defeated all opponents, and met Northeast for the championship. Lou Kreizman was acting captain. In the last quarter Central made the lone touchdown of the game defeating Northeast by the score of 6-0. Kreizman proved to be Central's only All-Philadelphia man. Coleman pulled down the 'fAll-Public High quarterback position, while Burt Fuoco, playing his first season as a regular, made the Second Team All-Public High. Football sweaters, 'the Ellis A. Gimbel Cup, the Dutch Company Trophy, gold watch-fobs, and plenty of honor were showered on the C. H. S. two-time champions. For the first time in history, Central had its own band. Our little Iessie Einhorn, while acting in the capacity of bandleader, introduced the new shuffle- walk for his clan. Banner, Barns, S. B. Cohen, and Jacoby, of our class, were chief noisemakers. Dulcy, featuring Billy Fishman and Sammy Berlin, was a great stage success, especially when the Dramatic Club lowered its entrance fee from 50 cents and 75 cents to two bits. It can truly be stated that four out of five wit- nessed Dulcy . Competition in the B Philology Prize was breezy. Holz, according to his habit, hung another medal to his belt. We were now set for the last half of the final lap. We had completed seven aeons of struggling, seven epochs of studying. We were at the very apex of our high school careers. Would we write Huis in a blaze of glory? The A term started with a bangl A - Sam Berlin, our erstwhile Vice-President, saw a larger field open in the Council and took over its presidency. He was assisted by Pip Block, vice- president, Sol Katz, Seltzer, Kaplin, Gash, Kolosky, Prensky, and Fishman. Elmer Kaplin became Supreme Iudge of the Student Tribunal, Handy became Secretary, while the other 156th Class judges were Kolosky, Seltzer, and Berlin. The Council picked Robert W. Handy, Ir. as the General Chairman of the Student Patrol. His assistants were Gash, Weiss, and Rubinsohn, among the 156th Class elite, while Handy's actual workers numbered in the thousands. Outstanding directors were Harvey, Craven, Zissman, Orensky, and Wishnow. We gradually absorbed the other high positions. Henry A. Gash assumed the editorship of the Mirror fart for art's sakej, while Sol I. Katz preferred the editor- ship of the Cenfralizer Cpay for three and get eight freej. President Seltzer appointed his final committees. As chairmen the following were chosen: Athletic Committee . . HTICKU COLEMAN Class Paper . . . VINSTON AND VALINSKY Benefit . . RUBISOHN AND WEINER Prom . . .... . SCHNALL Banquet . . . . SCHEINFIELD AND STEIGMAN Cap and Gown . . AL KATZ AND SAFFRAN Page F tghteen 'M Gm We--- H'-4 ' , 5.
