“The Play Is The Thing” “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players, They have their exits and their entrances. And one man in his time plays many parts.” DURING the last three years the Glenville Dramatic Department has produced many plays, the six most outstanding being “The Only Way,” “Seven Keys to Baldpate,” “Beyond the Horizon,” “Once in a Lifetime,” “Berkeley Square,” and “The Late Christopher Bean.” “The Only Way” introduced Robert Jaffe to Glenville audiences. “Seven Keys to Baldpate,” a mystery play, produced during our 10A year, introduced Esther Bernstein and Myra Rose. In “Beyond the Horizon,” offered in our Junior year, both Robert Jaffe and Myra Rose appeared again. It was in this play that Jeanne Cohen made her first appearance in a major play, and from that time on she had a lead in every play. She and Robert Jaffe again had parts in the alumni play Lightnin’.” “Once in a Lifetime” brought forth a galaxy of stars, including Jessie Baker, Harriet Barer, Esther Bernstein, Jeanne Cohen, Robert Jaffe, Lincoln Gale, and Ruth Weiss. “Berkeley Square” was performed remarkably well with Robert Jaffe, Ruth Weiss, Jeanne Cohen, Jean Anne Forrester, and Myra Rose in leading roles. The play in which these seniors bid farewell to their high school dramatic careers was “The Late Christopher Bean.” This was a really fine performance and an ideal farewell. Behind the scenes, “unheralded and unsung,” the stage crew has worked, receiving little or no recognition, but, oh, what a calamity if someone said, “I think I hear the phone ringing,” and it did not ring. That is where the crew comes in. Take special notice: Beatrice Landy, Mildred Horwitz, Violet Goldhammer, Emma Lieder, Lillian Copeland, and Lillian Pearlman, property and wardrobe mistresses; and Bernard Green and Byron Williams, electricians. But of what use is an excellent cast and a good stage crew if there is no director? Mr. Eugene C. Davis, the director, is the man who has so efficiently guided these potential stars and crew members, so that they have never failed to come out on top. The Senior Scroll ON April 10, 1934, the first issue of the “Senior Scroll” was offered to the public at the nominal price of two cents. From then on, at irregular intervals for two semesters, this class paper was released by and for members of the January ’35 class. The editors for the first two issues were Moe Leeb, editor-in-chief; Albert Millman, news editor; Violet Goldhammer, feature editor; and Sidney Grau, sports editor. Then, because of other activities, Moe and Albert were forced to resign. Violet Goldhammer replaced Moe Leeb as editor-in-chief, and Alice Stutz, Barbara Kumin, and Eudice Landy became news and feature editors respectively. In the Senior A term Violet Goldhammer resigned because she was feature editor of the Torch, and the staff was as follows: Editors-in-chief, Barbara Kumin and Eudice Landy, who collaborated for the first two issues, and Alice Stutz for the last one; Howard Leiner, spoils editor; Bernard Green, feature editor; and Alice Stutz, news editor. The business manager for both terms was Herbert Grushcow. The publication, at first, contained six pages, but later it was reduced to four. This has been the first time in the history of any class that a literary project of such a nature was successfully carried through the entire senior term. [28]

“All’s Well That Ends Well” (Continued from page 7) Our Hallowe’en Dance has begun our 12A social season, and is being followed later on in the term by a Stunt Nite, giving Esther Bernstein, Harriet Barer, Lincoln Gale, Rachel Lubin, Alvin Krenitz, Virginia Radis, Emma Lieder, Jean Anne Forrester, Herbert Grushcow, Josephine DeGeorge, Leo Altshuler, Robert Cohen, Byron Williams, Sylvia Hershkowitz, and Philip Aster an opportunity to display their talents. Leonard Speiser, Beatrice Landy, Barbara Kumin, Moe Leeb, Jeanne Cohen, Helen Rothman, and Milton Beller have brought their senior term to a successful climax by being initiated into the Honor Society. After two weeks of campaigning, our Olympiad board can be selected. Violet Goldhammer and Albert Millman have already been chosen co-editors. We’re looking forward to our class nite, which will culminate our high school careers. We have spent three happy years at Glenville, but what does the future hold in store for us? Who knows? ‘'There'a a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will” Epilogue: Sec thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried. Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel. Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; Take each maxi’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Neither a borrower nor a lender be. To thine otvn self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. [27]

The Torch THE Torch is Glenville High School's weekly publication. It is published solely by the Torch Board, composed of students chosen according to their writing or business ability. 15— 98G1 The board is divided into two major divisions, namely editorial and business. The editorial board consists of five departments: news, feature, sports, typing, and proof reading. The business staff consists of three departments: advertising, collection, and circulation. The heads of these eight departments together with the editor-in-chief and business manager comprise the executive board. The executives meet every Wednesday, and the entire Torch Board meets on Thursday. In the past five years, the Torch has won considerable recognition from journalistic organizations (local, state, and national) of which it is a member. At present, the Torch is represented at the Cleveland Hi-Press and is a member of the Ohio State Journalism Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. The Torch has a total circulation of fourteen hundred. It exchanges papers with more than one hundred schools and with city editors of daily newspapers throughout the United States. Members of our class who have been outstanding members of the Torch executive board include Moe Leeb, editor-in-chief; Violet Gold-hammer, feature editor; and Albert Millman, sports editor. Elizabeth Baker, Sidney Kanter, James Smith, Mary Chertkoff, Seymour Herwald, Ruth Heller, Howard Leiner, and Edward Chesler have been prominent staff members. Senior Sponsors THE Senior Sponsor organization of our class was headed by Sam Tucker, president; Alvin Krenitz, vice-president; and Ruth Weiss, secretary. The faculty adviser of our sponsor system was Miss Nell C. Henry. The number of senior sponsors was radically reduced from previous years in order to enable the sophomores to become better acquainted with their student advisers. From a staff of eighty-five, thirty were chosen as Senior Sponsors and the remaining fifty-five were placed as study-hall guards. The sponsors, chosen upon the general requirements of an average above 80 per cent and reliable character, were as follows: Ruth Heller, Bernard Green, Barbara Kumin, Adolph Rabinowitz, Jane Scott, Virginia Radis, Elsie Vezckenyi, Howard Leiner, Marcella Lewis, Alice Stutz, Herbert Grushcow, Isadore Arons, Judith Lewin, Alvin Krenitz, Esther Rabinovitz, Stanley Cowan, Violet Goldhammer, Marvin Latter, Betty Krause, Regina Rosen, Yetta Kravitz, Esther Bernstein, Sam Tucker, Ruth Weiss, Milton Beller, and George McKee. The handbook committee was headed by Virginia Radis with Yetta Kravitz, Milton Beller, Howard Leiner, and Violet Goldhammer assisting. Ruth Heller was in charge of the ribbons. Lillian Gottlieb was chairman of the assembly committee which gave a play written by Judith Lewin and Howard Leiner, that illustrated the various activities of the school in hopes of interesting the sophomores to participate. Other members of the committee were Alice Stutz. Stanley Cowan, and Marvin Latter. This idea was carried out very extensively, by having on file the name of each sophomore and the list of activities in which he was interested. Each sponsor was assigned one of these groups, and it was his duty as a sponsor to see that he gained the cooperation and friendship of his group of lOB’s and entered them into activities in which they were interested. Our sponsor movement culminated in a Senior-Sophomore dance, Alvin Krenitz taking charge of the program. [29]
