NN Sp up Xl 1' f 4 V F 'vu ts' 4 H. I 'Yann i , u In the lower classes we had a number of very excellent women teachers. Miss Estvan taught us reading: Miss Bonnell, arithmaticg and Mrs. La Prince, art. By the way, Mrs. La Prince had a very pretty daughter, Amy, who was a few years older than we. I think most of the boys had a crush on herg I know I did. She probably is at least a grandmother by this time, but I would like to see her again. The largest group in my class for some reason entered the medical profession. Among others, Ernest Sachs, Hans Zinsser, Herman O. Mosenthal, Henry L. Weil, Gustav Fried, William Lesem. Some of these men attained a high position in the medical profession-notably, Hans Zinss-er who became a leading professor of Harvard and was the author of many important books on pathology which 10 or 15 years ago had wide circulation. He unfortunately died a few years back. Dr. Julius Sachs, Principal of the school, came from a cultured and intellec- tual family. One of his brothers was Dr. Bernard Sachs, the well known neurol- ogist: two other brothers, Mr. Samuel Sachs and Mr. Henry Sachs were leading bankers. He was a close relative 'of Dr. Felix Adler, founder of the Ethical Culture Society. His son, Dr. Ernest Sachs, is a professor of medicine at the Washington University of St. Louis. His nephew, Dr. Paul Sachs, is director of the Fogg Museum and a leading member of the Harvard faculty. Other nephews and nieces hold important places in the field of sci-ence and medicine. While I was at school I am sure that I had 'just as many gripes and kicks and periods of discouragement as the modern schoolboys and girls have today. My recollection, however, on the whole is a very happy one and I am grateful to the fine body of men and' women who helped educate me in the face, I am sure, of many discouragements and many disappointments. I believe that you of the Franklin School can have some sense of pride in being pupils of an institution which succeeded the Sachs Collegiate Institute, undoubtedly one of the leading educational organizations in the latter part of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. ' With best wishes and kindest regards, I am Yours, HERBERT H. LEHMAN TEN 4-446
