“All’s Well That Ends Well” A Play In Soliloquy Prologue: Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. Creeps in this petty pace from day to day.” With enthusiasm and ambition for this tomorrow which is almost here, we take leave of our happily spent Junior High yesterdays, to sojourn in a new and fascinating world for many succeeding tomorrows. In what important influential way, Will our lives be affected by this three years’ stay? Act I: “To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arroxos of outrageoxis fortune, Or to take arms in a sea of troubles. And by opposing end them?” Is that a strange sentiment for an insignificant sophomore to harbor? It is a strange world, though, to which we so enthusiastically looked forward. We thought Algebra was bad enough, and now they’re torturing us with Geometry. Friendly Senior Sponsors help us to overcome our rather naive bewilderment. We’ve entered some activities already. Prominent dramatic students include Robert Jaffe and Esther Bernstein. Rachel Lubin, Ruth Weiss, Luella Kerr, Ethel Foltin, and Violet Goldhammer have become eminent as Gym Leaders; Elliot Rose, Bernard Kurlander, and William Cukr are progressing in boys' athletics. Language clubs are the recipients of interested sophomores. Two more important years before us lie, New worlds to conquer; new endeavors to try. Act II: “There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.” As juniors we are becoming more engrossed in extra-curricular activities; we are beginning our rise in the social history of the school. Most prominent in the Language Clubs are; Spanish Club: Edward Haas, vice-president; Ruth Heller and Helen Rothman, outstanding members; French Club: Lillian Gottlieb, president; English Club: Violet Goldhammer, president; Albert Millman, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee (11B) ; Rachel Lubin, secretary; Emma Lieder, Chairman of the Entertainment Committee (11A). Elizabeth Baker, Marvin Latter, and David Kronick are active debaters. Do you know the cause of this affable attention? It’s the coming event of the Class Election. Possible candidates for office wreathed in smiles—affectionate friends you didn’t know you had—sudden rises to popularity—the lunchroom a mad hodge-podge of scrambling llA’s and rustling petitions. An election committee is appointed composed of Ruth Rubin, Chairman, assisted by Ruth Weiss, Philip Aster, June Samuelson, Alvin Krenitz, Alice Stutz, Morton Newman, and Saul Scheps, under the supervision of Frederic D. Aldrich, faculty adviser. The party machine is running full blast; the fight is on; may the best man win. The result of the final election is as follows: President, Robert Jaffe; Vice-President, Samuel Tucker; Secretary, Edward Chesler; Treasurer, Beatrice Landy; Chairman of the Entertainment Committee, Morris Berkowitz. The defeated candidates are Moe Leeb, Seymour [6]
