Ten 1: 1. a s s - To H10 Class of June, 1929: It gives me pleasure indeed to wish you all success. Your class has been very helpful in improving conditions in our school and I want you to know that we appreciate your excellent work. I can sympathize with your great problem of getting properly placed after leaving school. I fully realize how difficult it is to make decisions at your time of life, but if you have the will to succeed, it does not matter what line of work you take up, you will finally reach your goal. I hope that Gratz has given you at least the desire to do something worth- while. IVith kindest regards to all, I remain Cordially yours, lflc rcn Ci Il l a S 5 ai VVILLIAM L.

During the many pleasant days which I have spent with you as class sponsor I have frequently alluded to these admir- able qualities which I have found in such abundance in you as individuals and as a class. The enthusiasm and the never- say-die spirit with which you have undertaken your personal problems in school work and in school activities are now well repaid. The same qualities have been responsible for thehout- standing successes of the various undertakings of your class. You are about to commence a new chapter in your careers. Remember that enthusiasm and co-operation on your part mean success in your chosen life work, and success spells that kind of happiness which greets the world with a smile. Sincerely yours, 5 I Thirteen.

Of the twenty- eight hundred students who entered, two hundred eighty-six were destined to be the Class of June, 1929. In a short time, through the untiring efforts and splendid co-operation of faculty and students, the school was in perfect working order. Under the direction of Miss lVood, a stable form of student government was established and the first Gratz Senate was elected. 'This pioneer body labored without cessation to give the school all that is considered to be of fundamental importance: a constitution, school colors, a school seal, systems for Volunteers, Monitors, and the House of Representatives, and a standard of scholastic achievement for officers of the Students Association. In October came the first formal event of the school, the Dedication Exercises. At this function lNIr. VVascho presented, for the first time, the Gratz High Orchestra, consisting of fifty members, a marvel of sound and symphony. This was our first great triumph, the first evidence of a glorious future, in which we were again and again to taste of success and to thrill with pride in our handiwork. During this first term, as the D Class, we had no class organization, but we were rapidly forming acquaintances which were to last throughout our school life. Friendship served to strengthen the union which was created the following term. Clubs of every type were formed, and they flourished as more and more students became interested in extra-curricular activities. At this time, too, Emma Newman gave us our first taste of her musical ability by writing the song Hail to Gratz School? Many students with journalistic interests devoted their talents and efforts towards the establishment of a school paper, and consequently in December the 'tSpotlight', made its debut. In January, Lillian Slutsky was appointed Editor-in-Chief, a position which she held for three terms. The new term opened and in an incredibly short time, perhaps too' short for us, the school settled down to its accustomed routine. Politics made their entrance and we found ourselves in a heady, conglomerate whirl of peti- tions and elections. From our class were elected: Dorothy Guest, Vice- President, Fred Keifner, Vice-President, Marie Mondschcin, Senator, Charles Levy, Senator, Ronnain Hall, Associate Judge, and David Wa.rner, Associate Judge. In the Dramatic Club, too, such names as David and Charles Levy, and Emma Newman were rapidly becoming famous. VVith Mr. Bencker as able sponsor, and bubbling over with numerous plans and ideas, the C Class held its first meeting late in March. David Levy was elected Chairman, and Emma Newman, Vice-Chairman. lVIay, always Twenty-two . mass a month of joy and spring fever, brought us our class rings and our first dance. Held in the Girls' Gym withi plenty of balloons, streamers, lolly-pops, and music supplied by the lively Gratzonians, the dance was a success--of course. During this term also, Herman Bookford was awarded a prize by the National Honor Society, the Phi Beta Kappa., for his unusually brilliant scholastic record. Then suddenly the summer vacation was upon us. In ten brief months G'ratz High School had become a criterion of sportsmanship, seholarshlip, and school spirit, and had attained a position high in the scale of the city's high scholols. September brought us back to school as Seniors, and we attained, as though by magic, that lofty air of superiority, though we hope we did not allow it to become complex. In the usual manner, the S. A. elections preceded the Class elections, and from our Class were chosen: Emma Newman and Charles Levy, Vice-Presidentsg Dorothy Jann and Fred Keifner, Senatorsg and Ruth Stone and Herman Bookford, Judges. At the first B Class meeting of the term, elections were held. David Levy was again elected President, Markie Mondschein, Vice-President, Lillian Slut- sky, Secretary, and Marguerite Ebert, Treasurer. The question of dues was also decided at this meeting, whereupon the alternates immediately proceeded to cause acute pains in our pocketbooks. Our second dance was held in October in the Girls' Gym, and again We stepped the light fantastic, this time to the strains of the popular Royal Jewels. Although we were kept busy attending football games and struggling with studies, we found time to plan for the VVashington Trip, and October 23 found us hunting for souvenirs and paying our due respects to the Capital. In November, 1928, we donned our Sunday clothes, found our way to the Apartment, were told to watch the birdief' and then it was over. And in time we understood that our classic features were to adorn the Record Book. The efforts of Joseph Simon and Virginia Robinson, chairmen of the Ticket Committee for Gratz Gala Nite,', led to the acquisition of 5204.50 to the treasury. This sum was one-half the total amount collected by the Committee. The Record Book' Staff was chosen in January. Bernard Gekoski, of Debating Club fame, was appointed Editor-in-Chief. Bernard's originality and unusual ability, combined with the splendid assistance rendered by Ruth Bierstein and Herman Bookford, the Associate Editors, have made the Record Book a zenith of high school publications. During this term, for the first time in the history of Gratz, awards for service and achievement were pre- sented by the Senate. Fred Keifner, of our Class, received the gold key, while Herman Bookford, Bernard Gekoski, Emma Newman, and Lillian Slutsky were presented with the second award, the G pin. Then as the term drew to a close, we looked forward with eager anticipation, not untinged with regret, to our last semester. With the opening of the new term, we were confronted by the very pleasant task of making plans for our approaching graduation. Ah! sweeft June! ! But, as always, our duty to the school came first. Charles Levy was elected President of the Senate, and Marie Mondschein and Bernard Twenty-three 1 a s s z Gekoski were chosen as our representatives in the Senate. Herman Bookford was elected Chief Justice, and Regina Bornstein and Irvin tveisman, the A Class Judges. 'The Class elections were interesting and the members chose wisely. Ever- popular Fred Keifner, who possesses the ideal male blush, was elected President. David Levy, always a luminary in school activities, was elected Vice-President. Lillian Slutsky, now quite proficient in the art of taking minutes, was re-elected Secretary. Last, though quite vital, Joseph Simon was chosen Treasurer to find the means of giving us a banquet. Our beautiful Class Song, True Bluef, was written in February by Emma Newman. After many rehearsals under itlrs. Cummings, it was sung before the student body during the Senior Day Assembly, and again at graduation. The Prom was held at the Cedarbrook Country Club in May. Christian Fisher, chairman of the Committee, was successful in making the Prom one of the big moments in our little lives. The Class of June '29, as the second graduating class of Simon Gratz High School, has endeavored, not only to meet the standards and ideals of the first graduating class, but to improve upon themi if possible and to make its name an honored and lasting one in the history of our Alma ltlater. L1LL1.1.:: S1,1:'rsKY. - Twenty-four 4'5 - J u n e MVAXSIH II N 'l3lf'U N MKIEMUD II IDS Il-OOKING back at it now, we seemed like the proverbial war horse rarin' to go-one hundred and one strong-to the nation's capital. The conduet0r's strident All Aboard P, resounded through the train long after the most tardy of our number had stowed away their baggage. But at last we were off. Excitement abounded-water was in demandg bridge partners were at a premium, and we all know how we talked. Then someone discovered that Mr. Bencker and lllr. lN'Iorris liked cigars-we were two blocks away from the station by that time-and they miraculously appeared. Soon our capable B. it O. representative, Mr. Clifton, distributed guide books, which everyone wanted autographed by everyone else. flVriter,s eramp was a prevalent con- sequencej Lunch, more autographs, and then finally-YVash.ington! lVe filed out at l'nion Station where the homesick QPJ lads and lassies mailed their postal cards. Our buses soon arrived to take us to the Capitol of the lvnited States. Here we were escorted by capable guides who just loved questions! Presently, however, the lvashington Glee Club got into action and sang, VVhen do we eat?,' and so we tumbled into our buses and were soon at the Hamilton Hotel. After a wonderful luncheon and a short rest, we were off again. A pleasant ride took us to Arlington Cemetery, where the beautiful sight brought all cameras into action. Impressed by the great amphitheatre, the tomb of the unknown soldier, and the rows upon rows of the nation's honored dead, we proceeded to Mount Vernon. Here we wandered about the beautiful grounds and the historic house until about four-thirty, when we started on that eventful ride down the Potomac. CVVe don't remember the Potomac, but who could forget that piano?j Once more our buses were waiting, and soon we were back in the hotel, ready for dinner. Bill Kessler showed his ingenuity by putting four lumps of sugar into the consomme and then exclaiming, The cofT'ee's no good!', Another brief rest, and then we started for the Congressional Library. It is reputed to be one of Amerie-a's finest architectural achievements, and We believe it. VVe spent a delightful hour walking about, seeing more than we could comlprehend or ever hope to recall. Later, the group returned to the Twenty-five 'Lil 1 .I yu-lp ,e ji hotel for the dance to which we were looking forward, that is, most of us were looking forward to it, but some few thought that a VVashington movie would indeed be a novelty. Mr. Morris, however, who thought otherwise, withstood the bribery of a score of cigars, and consequently the dance was enjoyed by all. VVe retired to our rooms at twelve-thirty, at which time all our good little boys went quietly and obediently to bed. fAsk Mr. Bencker, he knows D Next morning we arose early, ready for a busy day. At eight-thirty, we settled ourselves comfortably in our buses to enjoy the masterful eloquence of the guide in front. lVe spent several enjoyable hours viewing the principal points of interest in the city. At length we came to the most valuable,' part of our trip-the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. VVe learned all about making dollar billsg in fact, a. number of us resolved to go into business for ourselves. Someone, we are told, was disappointed at not receiving samples at the Mint, and decided to take it out on Washingt.on by starting a movement, Canes for all, and all for Cain in Several interesting and educational hours were spent in viewing the Old and New National Museums, where we saw, among other things, the Spirit of St. Louisf' In due time our party paid a visit to the famous Washington Monument. Fred Keifner thought that it would make a great paper weight for Miss VVood, but was finally persuaded to leave it, as our train carried no freight. By this time, all were impatient to get a view of Mr. Coolidgeg accordingly, we set out for the VVhite House. Mr. Coolidge was evidently in conference when we arrived-it was rather thoughtless of him-and so we had to content ourselves with a close inspection of his palatial home. After satisfying our curiosity as to presidential living, we returned to the hotel for luncheon. Our second afternoon was momentousg we posed for a group picture on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. fWith such a. man as Lincoln for a backi- ground, even one hundred Seniors can look dignifiedj In fact, we concentrated on pictures that afternoon, Winding up at the Corcoran Art Galleries, where the works of all the old masters are to be found. Leaving Union Station at seven-thirty, we were, as a grand finale to a happy trip, the guests of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at dinner, en route to Philadelphia. We arrived at VVayne Junction very early-in the morning- still enthusiastic, still in good form, and still good friends. IRVIN S. VV1-:1sMAN.

AXDDIDMKIDILIISIHMKIENWS HE medium for student expression is the Students Association. It aims to stimulate school spirit, to encourage participation in all school activities, and to promote personal initiative and community co-operation. Chief among the purposes of the Students Association is the preparation of its nlembers for citizenship. Shortly after the opening of the school, the Association was completely organized. There now exist three elective bodies, the Senate, Court, and House of Representatives: and one appointive body, the Monitor's Council, for the trial of study hall cases. Through the efforts of the Students Association better relationships have been established between clubs and the social life of the school, and between clubs and school activities. The club activities were also improved by the insertion of a clause stating that there shall be no secret societies, and that no student shall be barred from a club for any racial or religious reasons. The officers' pledges and a code of conduct for the students were drawn up by the Students Association. The drafting of the constitution was one of the most important accomplislnnents of the Association. The Lost and Found Department was formed through the Students Asso- ciation. Through the co-operation of the S. A. officers, the late room and the study hall were made to function smoothly. The conduct of students and the condition of the lunchrooms during the lunch periods became their problem also. The Association selected the school colors and seal, as well as the design for the school pin. The organization of the school store, the presentation of the Spotlight,', and the introduction of a banking institution for the conveni- ence of the student body were all the result of its efforts. A great deal of credit must go to Miss VVood, the sponsor ot' the Students Association, for without her sincere and conscientious help such an excellent record would have been impossible. 0lIFllllll1l1'Pll fire 11:1 1 l LQQ C , J ll n el clasg 23 W l lfIl'lIE SIENAU I HE Senate is a vital cog in the machine of student government. As such it tries to determine the needs of the school and to supply them. It enacts tratlic rules for the halls and lunchrooms, it chooses the officers, insignia, and sponsors a semifannual Color Day. It appoints the lIonitor's Council, and bestows the Senate Awards upon deserving members of the student body. It is responsible also for such conveniences as the lunchroom bulletin boards and the installation of mirrors in the gyms. It is constantly working for the best interests of the school. The Senate also tries to a1'ouse school spirit and a desire for co-operation on the part of the students by frequent assembly talks and publicity stunts. The Senate, consisting of President Charles Levy, Vice-l'residents Mildred Chalk and Carroll lVolf, and Senators Bernard Gekoski, Marie Mondschein, Dorothy Duff, James Beale, Dorothea Meymen, Morris Berger, Ruth Beck- man, Yvilliam Ia-dig, Myrtle Blanck, hlilton Berger, Elizabeth Peale, and Hirsli Katz, has blazed a trail which succeeding bodies may well follow.

Students are brought before the Court for lunchroom disorder, smoking within two blocks of the school, or eating lunch outside the school boundaries. The Court also receives cases of study hall disorder from the Monitors' Council and helps Miss Price in dealing with chronic lateness. To be sure of giving offenders a fair trial, the Court questions them thoroughly and then sends them from the room while it deliberates on a just punislnnent. After due consideration, the offender is 1'ecalled and given a sentence fitting his particular case. Penalties often given are the writing of compositions and memorization of passages from the school constitution. lVhen a student has been brought before the Court, his behavior during the remainder of the te1'n1 is checked up in order to find out how well the Court has succeeded in reforming him. Punishment is given with the ultimate aim of rebuilding character and making better citizens. Chief Justice Herman Bookford and Associate Judges Regina Bornstein, Irvin xVClSlll2lll, Jack Mann, Marie Stadtlnan, Betty Thompson, and Yvalter ltlutchler have done remarkably fine work, and we are sure other classes will p1'ofit by their example. fllIf'hlllldl'l'1i xcrcn ' Class ?

'1'hrough the faithful and conscientious efforts of the staff, it has obtained a high position among school papers. The purpose of the Spotlight,, is to put before the school all news of interest to it, to keep a record of all events, and to raise the standards and ideals of the school. A number of our classmates have been active on the staff. Lillian Slutsky, Editor-in'Chief, and Grace Reuther, Exchange liditor, were appointed during the C term and held their positions until graduation. George Nussbaum, Circulation lllanager during the B and C terms, was appointed Business Man- ager in A. l'earl Eisenberg was News Editor during the C term. Sidney Sherman, Advertising Manager, and Reuben Poritsli-v, Circulation Manager, were also appointed during the A term..

It was quite evident that the efforts of Chris Fisher and his eoni- niittee had not been in vain. The latest spring models were displayed in the Prom gowns, and the newest eut of the tuX', showed to advantage on the ulaseuline figures. Many of those who had been trained by Bliss Ellis, in the Senior Daneing' Class, over- came their bashfulness and took their places on the floor.

In order to avoid the necessity of electing special officers for this purpose, Marguerite Ebert, the treasurer, organized the alternates of the Ulass into a committee. Under the able supervision of ltlarguerite, who, as treasurer, automatically became the chairman, the committeemen entered upon their new careers as 'ibad-bill collectors. They did not visit the homes of the students in a red roadster, but the moral courage, or nerve, necessary to ask us for money, would have carried them anywhere in anything. At the close of the term the sub-treasurers presented bills to the students in their sections. These notices startled many into paying their debts before they became too large to be met. The books which Marguerite Ebert turned over to Joseph Simon showed a fine percentage of up-to-date payers. Une llIllllll'4 1i eiylzfeffiz df: E ull. LESJ 'J ll ll class: lfrwk It'0u'-llenry Sloan.

No com- mittee ever achieved more marked success than our B 'l'icl4et Committee. llnder the supervision of Virginia Robinson and Joseph Simon, who acted in the capacity of co-chairmen, the ticket-selling campaign started with a bang. Friendly competition raged not only between the A and B Ulasses, hut also between the books and the members of the committee. Realizing' that the success ot' the project rested with them, the melnhers of the class roused their dormant salesmanship qualities. The interest stimulated hy the fraternal antagonism was evident in the giant leaps of the percentages. On November 23rd and 2-lith the attendance at the performances was most gratifying. Every seat was occupied, an unprecedented happening. The real triumph of the first annual Gala Night came several davs later when the committee was ahle to present to the treasurer a check for two hun- dred and four dollars.

Much to my surprise Mildred Curry, Regina Boyce and David Levy were among the stars. Florence Brown, Frances Ciperson, Miriam Geek, Fannie Glatsky and Gretchen Godshall were listed among the much feted cho1'us. The theme song, YVe Need Each Other,', was divine. The music was by our own John Cooker, and the words by the now famous Elnina Newman. The show was not overestimated. After making VVhoopee', at a night club, I left for Philly on the 7' A. M. train, dogged tired but happy. Safzlrzlay, Jrmfuary IU, 194.9 Dear Diary: VVent to the Academy of ltlusic to hear the renowned Philadelphia Or- chestra, led by Burlockski. It was composed mainly of the following notables: Peg Christensen, Claire Blake, Ruth Uhlhorn, Theodore Silary, lNIorton Pearl and Frank Lloyd. Of course, in this modern day it is permissible to have women in the Philadelphia Orchestra. The Orchestra performed beautifully and deserved much praise. Jlomlay, February 2, 1,949 Dear Diary: VVhile in town, I strolled into an artistically decorated tea room, run by no others than Ivinnie Bardsley and Katharine Birdsall. As a side line, Kay,' is working on a novel to be entitled c'The Philosophy of Youth. Gossip has it that Ed Carson is their main patron. As I was leaving, I met James Cavileer, the Dancing ltlarvelf, He also frequents the tea room. lVed1zcsday, February 534, 1949 Dear Diary: Last night I had the pleasure of hearing I.ohengrin,' at the Academy of Music. It was given by the lVIetropolitan Opera Company. That company deserves a lot of credit for producing so exquisitely this famous opera. I was surprised, upon looking at the list of characters, to find the names of many former Gratz students. Isabel Gilbert sang the part of Elsa of Brabant beautifully-wher voice has such fine qualities. Among the Ladies of Honor were listed the names of Harriet Greenwald, Emma Maguire and Elizabeth Jones. The conductor, IVilliam Burlockski, was in fine form. Cecelia I.ip- schutz was the Chorus Mistress, and executed her part well. 'The Chorus was a fine product of her work. The excellent scenic effects were due to the efforts of two of our good Gratz people, Paul Huet and Sayre Green, stage directors. Altogether, I was quite pleased with the knowledge that so many of our former friends at Gratz had helped to make this opera such a success.

Friday, March 5, 1949 Dear Diary: I went to the Graduate Hospital today to see Ella Garrett, who fell off her horse, while riding in the park a week ago, and consequently suffered a broken leg. Vvhen I went into the office to ask what room she occupied, I was met by no other than Al Hyman, who is the desk clerk. I also saw Olive Johns typing away for all she was worth. Al referred me to the house physician's office in order that I might get permission to see Ella. VVhile I was walking in the direction of the office, I bumped into Lois Maughlin wheeling 'Joe Sichel, who, because of his ever growing love for autos, was recovering from a frac- tured skull, which he received in a race at Langhorn. Lois assured me Joe would soon be in fine shape. Saul Barg was the resident physician to whose office I was referred. His nurse was Leona lNIcShea. After talking over old times, Saul said he would show me about the hospital, as many former Gratz students were working there. The first department we visited was the Laboratory, there I found Sarah Alloy and Rose Berman, technicians. They were analyzing blood tests at the time. I also saw Kenneth Doremus and Esther Dvorkin, his able assistants, concocting medicines. VVe next visited the dispensary, where I saw Sam Finkelman working on a set of false teeth, and Louis Lavine filling the teeth of a very noisy child. Rita Blulnenthal, in the capacity of dental hygienist, was cleaning the teeth of a very nervous old man. The chap in charge of the supplies was Harry Mack, a full-fledged pharmacist, by now. He was aided by Bill Turner. VVe next visited the office of the Board of Directors, and saw Clarence Baldwin and Mart Cherkasky in consultation over a very grave case. Elsie Morgan was acting as their secretary, taking rapid shorthand notes. The kitchen was the essence of neatness and modernity. How could it be otherwise with Jennie Corso and Deborah Greenstone, dieticians, at its head? I then visited Ella and found her improving rapidly. Her nurse was none other than Kay Phy. I surely did enjoy my day. It was refreshing to see so many of my for- mer friends and acquaintances. Saturday, April 7, 1.949 Dear Diary: I went into the Bankers and Brokers Building today to see Joe Simon, who now is a full fledged banker.

Eleanor Glider, Charlotte Steiner, Dot Swain and Minnie Tarkoft' were his secretaries. Ben Trottnow was in charge of these last mentioned. The stenographers typing for him were Rebecca Zevin, Dot VVeismiller, Esther Ulitsky, Nedra Vandervoort, Mary ltIcHugh, Mary Sherman, Matilda Shore, Ruth Snapper, Cecelia Specter, Helen Polekoft, Elinore Raphun and Lena Reibstein. Because there were so many typists and so much work to be done, Annette Leibig had to supervise them. His bookkeepers were Nora Nance, Diana Sernaker, Blanche Shaffer, Viola Stein, Alice Laird and Peg Jackson. His accountants were Mildred Hoffman, Florrie Hoft, Nathan VVinneker and Ben Seltzer. In all my life, I have never seen such a beautifully systematizetl oflice force. Everything was done like clockwork. My whole transaction was over in twenty-five minutes. I surely enjoyed my call there. Thursday, illay 17, 1949 Dear Diary: I went on my first trip to a Journalism and Advertising office and was just thrilled to deathv to see Lil Slutsky in charge. Her secretary was Julia McHugh, and her accountant Jack Shore. Lil took me to visit the different departments, and told me that each executive had his or her own helpers. Eleanore Korn was in charge of the short story department. Eleanor Kulp was her secretary, Gladys Kraft her stenographer, and Sam Burak her accountant. Philip Rieber and Sylvia Sarshik were in the ofhce as assistants. Ruth McKibbin and Naomi Meredith were their secretaries, Jeanne Brosilow their bookkeeperg Syd Sigmund and Syd Stein their accountants. The next department we visited was advertising. Saul Leshner and Milt Landis were in charge. 'Their secretaries were Reba Levitt and Bella Latnerg their accountants were Evelyn Keiser and Louis Lankin. Ruth Landis and Isadore Moses served as their outside business representatives. I was much interested in the work of these departments, and in meeting so many former friends there. Wkdnesday, June 26, 1.949 Dear Diary: Today I went back to Gratz to see my Alma Mater. First, of course, I went to the office to get permission to look around the building during school sessions. No other than Dot Guest greeted me. She was signing absence notes very kindly at the time, so I waited until she was through. Dot Cannon, Pearl Eisenberg, Grace Enders and Dot Brown were working in the oftice, so I spent a little time talking with them. As we were talking, Clara Greenberg, who was secretary to Mr. Calhoun, joined usg likewise did Miss Price's assistant, Ele- anor Abelson. They told me Fay Carson was spiritualist adviser, and that she read the Bible in Assembly and gave the Baccalaureate every graduation, One humlrcd tlrenly-se1'cn . f'Nff-fx lc.e5c-men.-, Ha-soars M L' ix sf' x f N A cf 5'fNlUR, A' fxrwf YEAR '3 N-fx .- an- ,NN -s nf- as ll FS 'N I - J u n I next went into the S. A. oflice and saw Elizabeth Cutler conferring with Paul Drosdow as to whether the students were giving full hearted attention to the plays the latter was giving in the assemblies. Elizabeth, in capacity of Student Adviser, went with me to look around the building. Gilbert Heebner and Bill Kessler were teaching mechanics, VValter Chambers was trying to teach music, with the help of Pearl Saffren, Ruth Schraishuhn and Rudolph Joseph. On the second floor we heard Morris Krassen holding forth on the divorce problem to some A students. Marie Husemeyer and Ruth Bierstein were teaching Caesar and Cicero respectively. Among the English teachers on the faculty were listed the names of Dor- othy Jann, Gert Fisher, Gloria Freeman, Kay Dealy, VValia hIamechkin, Ger- trude Nash, Ruth Rose and Virginia Robinson. A The French department claimed Ethel Melman, Grace Reuther, Elsie Bekel and Elisabeth Thurman. Among the history teachers were numbered lVIorris Schwartz, Ben Rig- berg, Melba Swann, Virginia Swift, Hattie Thomas and Ethel VVatson. VVe next went into the mathematics office and saw Sam VVeiss and Anna Stephanian preparing an Algebra examination. The science laboratory boasted Isadore Fine as its head, and Edward Mueller as his assistant. Last, but not least, Elizabeth and I went to the gym department where we saw Marie Diamond and Adele Lindenfelser on the girls' side, and Abe Resnikoff on the boys' side. I then went to the teachers' lunch room with Elizabeth, and listened in on a discussion, headed by lVIr. Krassen. It was Should VVe Say Student Gove1'n- ment or Student Participation VVhen Discussing the Students' Share in Run- ing the School P Monday, July 7, 1.949 Dear Diary: Today I went to City Hall to see Herman Bookford on business. In his office I found Beula Conrad in the capacity of secretary to this famous lawyer. Herman told me Barnet Elfenbein was the criminal lawyer for the city and that Loretta Cohen was his secretary. Bernard Gekoski was in the next room dictating notes to Miss Sylvia Cohen, who is an excellent worker. In Room 909 Charles Levy was trying a Domestic Relations case and Helen Diamond was taking the case for the files. I also saw Beryl Lintott, Herb Mailman, David Josephs, Jack Shaner and Maurice Shusterman's names on the directory. Herman told me Caralena Elston, Pearl Freeman, Jeanne German and Laura Bender were secreta1'ies in the Hall. It is satisfying to know that so many former Gratz students have risen in the world of fame.

As I entered the spacious auditorium, which was already filled to capacity, I was greeted by the President of the club, Bill lVIcAmblay. That former all-round athlete of Gratz had not changed much, except that l1is goldenv hair was be- ginning to turn gray at the temples. Henry Sloan escorted me to the section of the auditorium which was occupied by the former Gratzonians. This group included Ben Spector, Dave McClain, lvalter Rogers, Aaron Sloane, Louis Strauss, Tom Coleman, Frank Halpern, John Popp, Simon Rieehman and Jack Silverstein, the Davis Cup player and former Gratz star. VVho was that tall athletic-built man, sitting on the platform? Ah, yes! I remembered, Joel Dintenfass, now a prominent physician. Dr. Dintenfass, in his address, spoke of the importance of athletics as a body and character builder. During his speech there arrived some late corners including such familiar persons as Louis Nerenblatt, Abe Halpern, Bud Hinchcliffe, Morris Kauffman and Elmer YVhitey', VVittkamp. The program was concluded by a short speech by Johnny,' Marshall. Johnny, the athlete of yore, is now head football coach at Penn. lvhen he is not on the field training young hopefuls, Marshall spends his time as a gallant asphalt-arab. Tuesday, September 15, 1949 Q Dear Diary: The latest Mitten Airport of Philadelphia has just been opened. 'This is one of the finest airports in the country. Arthur Gittelman was appointed by ltlr. ltlitten to direct the airport. Mr. Giittelman has been fortunate in secur- ing the services of such veteran airmen as Harold Block, VVilliam Benner, Carl Manelius and Howard Smith. Carl ltlanelius asked me if I was willing to accompany him on a non-stop flight to Japan. I told him that twenty years back I would not have been willing to die so young but that now I felt as safe in the air as on terra Erma. Monday, September 29, 1949 Dear Diary: The Sixteenth Annual Engineers' Conference was held at the Benjamin Franklin. Albert Aldridge, chief engineer of the Baldwin Locomotive YVorks, invited me to sit in at the conference. He said that I would find it surprisingly interesting. At the conference I met so many familiar figures of former days that it appeared to be more like an alumni meeting than an engineers' conference. In the group, headed by John Moore, as the president of the conference, were: Federal Becker, Leonard Catford, Carl Dash, Stafford Chappell, Sol Bovinsky, Russell Esler, Al Cohen, Joe Fisher, VVilliam Geiger and Joe Eberz. The board of directors, which was elected at the meeting, included: Herbert Fullerton, Harvey Miller, David Stevens and La Mar Quay.

Constance Ely has been re-elected as director of the Zoo. I visited the Zoo to congratulate Constance and also to see the new shipments of animals. In passing through the monkey house, I saw Chris Fisher monkeying with an orang-outang's tooth. Dr. Fisher is the chief dentist at the Zoo. Apparently, the doctor had attracted a large group, in which were Sid Sher- man, Gertrude Kosakotf, Jean McKirachan, VVilliam Fry fwho was teasing the monkeysj, Ida Portnoy and John Godshall. In passing the sea lion pond, I saw John Rc-gitko, envying the sea lions as they swam about. In the birdhouse I found a group of artists busily sketching. Among them were Martha Ruth, llfatilda Schwartz, Nellie Kean, Charlotte llfleyrick, Han- nah Backall, Florence Kaneve, Ruth Hauser, Diary Scheib, Patsy Harvey and Mildred Lande. A limousine drove up and Lillian Lorch, Reba Kleinbord and Marguc-rittw Ebert alighted. They were commercial artists and had come to make arrange- ments for some sketching to be done by them. Srzfurday, October 24, 19.49 Dear Diary: Today I met Bert Colish and Gene Bornstein. They are both married and are very wealthy. But in order to be economically independent of their husbands, they have gone into business, namely that of publishing Latin trans- lations. Their business is so firmly established that they are able to sell these translations at a very low price. This accounts for the enormous sales. Friday, October 29, 1949 Dear Diary: I have been called upon to act as foreman of the Jury. The Jury is com- posed of Dr. lllarcus Gaylburd, Jean Gorelick, Edwin Henne, Charles Herr, Sylvia Shuman, Eleanor Gamber, Sarah Kaplan, Nlary Clegg, Selma Engel and Dr. Irving Stein. ltlahlon Heist, a wealthy contractor, was summoned for questioning. He was accused of getting the city's contracts because of his political influence. He denied the charge. At the request of the foreman, his secretary, Sylvia Hedson: private secretary, Marie Mondschein: and manager, John Moody: were also examined concerning the business dealings of Mahlon Heist. Simday, November 6, 1949 Dear Diary: Fred Haeussner, city architect, and his staff, which includes Romain Hall, secretary, and Sarah Zabarsky and Gertrude Shaw, stenographers, have also been requested to appear before the Grand Jury.

Monday, December 10, 1949 Dear Diary: Alice Snyder has just returned from Paris with new designs for her ex- clusive dress shop. I met her in the street today. Her secretary is Mae Segal: Anna Steinberg and Betty Yarnall, stenographers: and at last but not least, Howard Twining, her sales manager. Friday, December 14, 1949 Dear Diary: Justin Pearlman called upon me this morning. He is a very successful interior decorator. Virginia lNIease is his private secretary. W'ednesday, December 96, 1949 Dear Diary: I was absorbed in watching some excavations on Broad Street, when someone called, Hello Saul. It was Maurice Herman. I had not seen him since we were students at Gratz. Maurice, I learned, is head of the School of Physical Education at Temple. He has as his assistants two capable gym- nasts in Tom VVarner and Robert Harwick. Not until I promised that I would see him some time in the near future at his home, would he allow me to depart. Thursday, December 97, 19.49 Dear Diary: Upon entering the Parkway Ifibrary, this noon, I met Laura Iveiser and Gertrude Green. Apparently they did not recognize me for they walked on. Laura and Gertrude are two of the best gym teachers in Philadelphia. I also met Gretchen Roth, the former Gratz basketball star. Although by profession she is an accountant, she still plays basketball with the same ability and speed as of former days. Saturday, December 99, 1949 Dear Diary: The following physicians have moved into the Medical Arts Building: Dr. Philip Shore and Dr. Phil Schwartz. Abe Stein has the pharmacy on the ground floor. They are all successful in their professions. Monday, December 31, 1949 Dear Diary: I surely have had a very eventful and enjoyable year.

This is certainly an enviable record for our girls. Especially impressive is it, considering it was our first year of league competition. The first game of the season resulted in our only reverse: this was at the hands of Pliiladelphia Normal. The girls were not discouraged, and came right back the following week, to defeat the same teani quite handily. Froni this ,game on, victory became a habit with our girls, and Southern, P. I. D., Girls' Catholic and Frankford were all defeated twice or more by Gratz. Gretchen Roth, or Grady as she is known, was an outstanding star, and we are proud to have her in our class with us. Captain Laura lveiser, Kath- ryn ltloscs and Gertrude Green, also of our class, shone with their all-round basketball ability. One hundred th irlyaciyht l nJf f-1 ii S f ' .

I. D. Reserves in rapid succession. In a return game, however, Catholic handed us our first reverse. Northeast also handed us a setback 35-17. Snapping out of their losing streak, the Cherry and 1Vhite combination overwhelmed Upper lloreland High 63-18. The next three games were lost to P. I. D., Roxborough and VVest Philly. These games were heartbreakers as only a few points separated the winners and the losers at the end of each contest. True to form, however, we came right back and toppled Qverbrook and Frankford Reserves. Then as a great climax to the season, we ran up the highest score of the year on Ivpper Moreland in a return game 70-15. This, incidentally, is the highest score ever attained by a Gratz five. Jules Goldberg was captain of the team, and Mr. Dc-Turk was the coach. Seniors on the squad were: Marshall, Ditenfass, McAmblay and Twining. One lzundred fl: ii-fy-11 ine X111 LI!

Captain Bob ltlac Mullen was the high scorer for the Cherry and VVhite aggregation in this encounter, but, unfortunately, was lost to the team for the rest of the season, due to an injury. Casper Tracy was elected captain in his stead. The next encounter was with VVest Philadelphia, which we won handily. Maurice Herman was the high tallior for Gratz in this meet. Germantown was the next to suffer defeat at our hands. Nat Goldberg was the main reason for our success in this meet. Now that the team has found its true form, we are looking forward to its win- ning the rest of the gym meets of the season and bringing Gratz its first cham- pionship in this line.

Gretchen Roth, Hazel Fanseen, Ernestine lvatkins, Kathryn lloses and Gertrude Green represented our class.

Bill McAmblay captured a tie for first place for the championship of the city in the pole vault. Others compet- ing in this event were Charlie Szabo and Joe Fisher. Sam Kennin, VVhitey Kiryluk and Bill Donaldson took care of the high jump in great fashion. VVhitey, by the way, captains the team this current season, which is not yet under way. Bill McAmblay, Joe Fisher, Joel Ditenfass, Johnny Marshall and the Levy twins, Dave and Charlie, of our class, are on hand once more, and all indications point to a successful campaign.

VVe expect great things for the remainder of the season for our team. Good luck, boys! Seniors on the squad are Ex-Captain Strauss, YValt Rogers and Kaufman.

Unfortunately, however, these two virtues are not all that make up a successful combination. The squad, coached by lVIr.

The last five mentioned will be lost to the team through graduation. Captain Avart will be back next season, as well as the rest of the squad, making the outlook fairly bright for our harriers.

Certainly, they would lack the pep and color that characterized our games during the past seasons. lNIr. Roser, realizing the necessity, organized a squad led by Sid Sherman, of our class. Kramer, Mann, Share and Diamond completed the outfit. The fellows were provided with sweaters, white flannels and megaphones. They were frequently seen in the auditorium as well as on the athletic field, but no matter where they put in their appearance, school spirit and enthusiasm were certainly aroused. Great work, boys!
