LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1936 We, the humble subjects of King Jack, of the Class of January ’36, in the glorious court of Glcnville, at the round table in the teachers’ lunchroom, do now make our last will and testament. In possession of all our faculties, we bequeath to our survivors the never ending search for the Holy Grail of Knowledge. May ye prove more successful in your search for it than did we. We bequeath ye our castles wherein each day reposed our hats and coats, and each night our school books. To ve we leave that most fearsome dragon the office bench, which has conquered so many of our gallant knights. Happy we arc to leave to ye who remain behind in Glcnville Courts the temperamental drinking fountains, where many weary searchers for the Grail of Knowledge were drowned, while seeking to refresh themselves. The battle scarred desks which hold so many of our noted signatures, and so many of our hasty memoranda in case of tests, we bequeath ye too. May they do ye as much good in times of uneasiness as they did us. In spite of all our noble efforts to subdue the villainous Black Knights of the Guard System, we admit ourselves defeated. The flower of manhood, yea, the bravery of a Lancelot, the beauty of a Guinevere, and the tears of an Elaine, proved of no avail against the fearsome warriors of Mr. Bahner. They have withstood all attacks and have remained victorious throughout. So the guard system too we leave ye, with the augury that ye will have as little success with it as we. With deep regret we must bequeath the lunchroom, where the Ogre Indigestion, and his Mistress Weak-Wili have destroyed so many of our hapless comrades by feeding them the devil's own stew, that most mysterious concoction—the hot dog. The faculty, released from the strain of pushing stubborn seniors through u course successfully, are worn and weary, and grateful for the brief respite from their labors which our commencement gives them. Treat in kindly and humane manner those of our ranks who were not pushed hard enough hv their pedagogues, and who remain behind. Cherish them and keep them in glorious Glenville until they die of old age if necessary. Behind us remain the foot worn stairs which have borne our many weights, and upon which many of us have sprained ankles and almost broken our necks. They refuse to aid us in our start up the ladder of success. The gushing, gurgling rivulets that trickle down upon unsuspecting necks in room 3 will remain behind as an excellent advertisement for the plumbing trade. The long narrow corridor betwixt the lunchroom and the gym. we leave to any prospective murder mystery writer, or any prospective murderer. It is one of the few spots in glorious Glenville unaffected by guards and loiterers alike. It would of a certainty be a perfect background for one of those steamer trunk murders, as it is just about wide enough to accommodate a medium sized steamer trunk. Those among yc who have acute and delicate senses of smell will find to your regret that we must depart without the odiferous chemistry laboratory that so often fills the upper halls of Glenville Court with pungent, unpleasant odors. There is too, the antechamber of Miss Davies’ office which usually contains many outwardly calm, hut inwardly quaking Glenvillitcs. The time grows near for us to depart. Our heads arc deep-bowed with sadness, but our eyes sliine with a breath-taking feeling of expectation. We crave one final boon. Protect with your lives the various possessions and objects we leave behind, and abuse them with the utmost discretion. Signed-------------King Jack and his subjects. This document having been duly witnessed is declared legal and valid.

BASKETBALL Tlit .season of 1984-35 wus a rather disastrous one for Glenvillc. Tin team lacked the necessary height and weight to compete on equal footing with most of their opponents. The hoys made up in fighting spirit what they lacked in size, however, and made every game a hard-fought contest from start to finish. During the first half of the season, the team was without the services of Art Bresin, star forward. and one of the best shots in the Senate. Following the midyear, Bresin was elected captain, und well deserved the honor for he was one of the outstanding players of the Senate for the rest of the year. The responsibility of Glenville’s defense was in the hands of another Senior A, Lou Katz. A fine guard, equipped with the necessary elements of ruggedness and courage, his play was characterized by a fighting spirit and hard work which made him an inspiration and a model for the rest of the squad. ft 98U2 Freddie Kaplowe and Hickey Sand were others who cavorted with the varsity throughout the season. The Second team, led by Captain Hickey Sand and Jay Kaufman, experienced a somewhat better season. Sand proved himself to be an excellent guard, developing so rapidly that he was promoted to the varsity squad at midyear. Jay Kaufman at forward, displayed a fast, hard-fighting game which made him the squad’s strongest threat. Prospects for the season of 1935-86 appear to point toward a better season. Katz and Bresin are back for the first half of the season and will make Glenvillc one of the city’s most respected teams. Wesley Allen, Isadore Silvrrstein, and Joe Kaplan, Senior B’s, along with Sand. Kaplowe, and Kaufman are helping to give Glenvillc an excellent squad. FACULTY AND ATHLETICS The name of Mr. Hartinger comes to mind immediately when sports are mentioned. A more efficient, energetic, friendly and likable Faculty Manager is beyond conception. Mr. Hartinger is respected and liked by everyone connected with sports and will certainly be remembered long after the other things arc forgotten. Mr. Quigley will always be remembered as a fine basketball and football coach. Those who have had close contact with him swear lie’s the greatest guy ever. Wc, especially, will remember him because of his close contact with the boys on the squad and because he had a homeroom composed of our class. Next, we come to a gentleman who, in one short semester, has mode himself one of the best liked and most respected men throughout the school. We arc sorry that Mr. Scliwegler came too late to allow our class to have much contact with him. but wc wish him the best of luck in the future. Our track mentor, Mr. Johnson, is well known to the boys of our class because he is one of our homeroom teachers. Mr. Johnson took over the track job only last year, and we ure confident that he will build Glenvillc a fine team in the future. TRACK AND TENNIS The Glenvillc Track team has been the field of activity, wherein two Senior A’s earned their letters. Mar ice Braun and Herbert Deitch both distinguished themselves in their lines of activity. Deitch was a member of the champion lightweight team of 1934 while Broun has been with the squad the past two years os a pole vaulter. Both boys worked hard and well deserve the commendation of their classmates. The February '36 class claims a place on the Tennis team in the person of Irving Granovitz. Irv was a member of the doubles team, being successful in winning almost all of the matches he played in. [29
