Its Walls have witnessed meetings, confabs, parleys, and counsels which have helped to make student government an ultimate success. On its threshold have stood students who will some day be leaders of mankind, students who will in future look back and recall the fond memories that this room contains within its four walls. SponsorfadviserApetitions-elections-meetings- personal contacts have all had as their center this small room which has had a large share in the destiny of our school and the fate of our class.

CLASS CHRONICLES N SEPTEMBER 1927, twentyfseven hundred prospective students entered, for the first time, the building which was to be their own for the next three years. These students entered with mingled feelings. They were, perhaps, sorry to have left their former schools and old acquaintances. Possibly they were overawed by the grandeur of their future Alma Mater. All, however, entered with the utmost zeal into the work of organizing the Students' Association of Simon Gratz High School. This task was accomplished with praiseworthy dispatch under the able leadership of Miss Wood, who sponsored the work. Our first term as the F class was spent in accustoming ourselves to the new school, and helping to formulate the Gratz school spirit, which is now a byword in all schof lastic activities. It was then that the ground work of our great Gratz structure was laid. With this fine organization as a background, our E term was marked with denite progress. We were first initiated into the mysteries of petitioning and election, and the result of our political campaigning was the electon of Walter Mutchler to the Senate. The irst fullflength play ever given at Gratz was presented this term. In its cast ap' peared many of our classmates destined to make a distinguished record for themselves in the school. Among these budding actors, and actresses were Myrtle Daniels, Gladys Ettinger, Harold Michel, and Frank Blanco. The D term was inaugurated with the now customary election excitement. Our dignity as Juniors was fully realized when we learned that we were to have two Sena' tors. These officers were Betty Thompson and Wilfred Rambo. Those who did not aspire merely to politics now came to the fore in the first Gratz Gala Night. We were represented by Walter Mutchler, Edward Gill, and Agnes Ward. Athletics began to be important. A football championship of the Reserve League was won for the school by a ine team in whose ranks we find such firstfrate players as Phil Shipe, and Ed. Quinley. Our class was first organized in the C term, and our activity thus received a new impetus. We were now entitled to double representation in the Student's Association. Betty Thompson and Walter Mutchler were elected to the Court, and Dot Meynen and Morris Berger served as Senators. Gur next important step was the election of class officers. Bob MacMullen received the office of Chairman, and Betty Thompson under' took the job of Secretary. - Shortly afterwards, we blossomed forth in our class rings. How our pride soared, as we displayed our finery to the wonderfstricken freshmen, and what a racket when they were dropped in transfer from one puifedfup senior to another. Next came our class dance swelling the class coffers and our feeling of pride. This, our first social event, was a great success both financially and as our initial attempt at entertainment. The dramatic offering for this term, The Road to Yesterday, brought to the fore an astonishing quality of talent from the ranks of our class. The feminine portion of the cast included janet Yeager, Eleanor Rafferty, Myrtle Daniels, Gladys Ettinger, and Leona Rosenfeld. Our young men were not less well represented by Harold Michel, Frank Blanco, and Walter Mutchler. We returned to school in the fall of 1929 bearing the magic title of Seniors. Activif ties began to crowd, packing our B term full of excitement. First there was the mad Twenty'-two lm Ql lil Ol Cm I CLASS or UN 3o l O lwl OOHl l rush of S. A. petitioning. Installation day found the everfpopular Betty Thompson and Harry Takiff resplendent in their new ofhce of VicefPresident. The Court was greatly strengthened by the appearance of Dot Meynen and Morris Berger on the Bench. Our senatorial choices were Jean Cohen and Joseph Bell. Scarcely had the smoke cleared away from this battlefield when a report was heard from another section. Class elections! Bob MacMullen received the hearty support of the class in his campaign for Presidency. Jerry Rubin was elected Vice-President. Peg Shively was given command of all of the class's wordly goods, while Janet Yeager was elected to the position of Quill. Then we embarked for Washington. This was indeed a highfspot in our B term. Even if we did not see President Hoover, we did have an opportunity to see more than one dollar at a time in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. The second annual Gala Night was nobly supported by the B class, edged on by the B ticket committee. Again did we taste the fruits of material success. The artistic quality of the performances was greatly enhanced by the presence of many B classmen, including that most artistic gentleman, Frank Blanco. The B class dance was heartily supported not only by B class members, but by the school at large. We had gained a reputation as excellent entertainers. During the term we saw our football team in action for the last time as high school students. Our band decked out in Cherry and White uniforms, made its debut. How thrilled we were to hear the strains of Gratz High ring out over the Held. The bril- liant work of the team, captained by Phil Shipe, a member of our class, will never be forgotten. Our highest hopes were fulfilled. Official recognition was given to the outstanding members of the class in the pref sentation of awards. Harry Takiff was given the Senate award, and achievement awards were given to Jean Cohen, joe Bell, Ed Hartman, and Sidney Eisenberg. Sidney this term took over the duties of editorfinfchief of the Spotlight, an office which he held in praiseworthy style for his entire senior year. Julius Balis held the position of News' Editor. In February, 1930, the Record Book Staff was announced. Lillian Kem achieved the position of Editorfin-chief, with joseph Bell and Jerome Rubin as Assistant Editors. The beginning of the endg Seniors! Harry Takiff assumed the duties of S. A. President. Once more Dot Meynen and Walter Mutchler entered the Senate. Doris Bertram and Frank Blanco were elected judges. Morris Berger figuratively donned the robes of Chief justice. Our class elections proved the most exciting of our whole term. They resulted in the election of the popular Bob MacMullen to the Presidency, Vic Satinsky to the Vice'Presidency, Peg Shively to the Treasurer's duties, and Janet Yeager to the Secretarial position. The dramatic performance of this term received substantial support both from the A ticket committee and from the dramatic artists, Leona Rosenfield, janet Yeager, Eleanor Rafferty, Myrtle Daniels, and Frank Blanco, members of the cast. We contributed many fine musicians to the school. Many of these won places in the school orchestra, helping to raise that organization to its present high place in the scholastic musical world. Others found in the band the outlet for their talents. Still others preferred to help in our various school performances. Thus we iind such musicians as Herbert Blumenthal, Henry Freiman, Austin Rayne, Louis Maurer, Har' riet Pincus, and others equally fine graduating with our class. The supreme social event of our Senior year was the Prom. Here we met with our friends and enjoyed a last rousing good time together as students. The Banquet Twentytlrree I . 1430 Z was the last social meeting of our class as an organized group. These two great affairs officially closed our senior social season. Graduation came only too soon. When we realized that we were now to leave school and dear acquaintances behind us, this great event in our life became tinged with regret. Still, the promising future outlined for us seemed to offer some com' pensation for our loss. The class of June, 1930, has made an undeniably brilliant record for itself in the annals of the school. It has supported every project launched during its existence. However, it is not merely as a separate class that it wishes to be remembered, but it would rather be recalled as a loyal integral part of that great institution, Simon Gratz High School.

One hundred twenty l' i ' his A ' 'UW FHS OX 'f6 3 0l l l AS WE WILL T MUST have been Lord Dunsany's Dreamefs Tales that made me so anxious to try the wretched stuff. A caprice of nature made me actually take it on my graduf ation nightfof all nigh'ts, when my mind still danced with the faces of my class' mates, and my eyes still beheld the stately procession down the aisle. At any rate, after a good deal of coaxing, a scientifically minded friend of mine secured a small amount of hashish for me. Hashish is a peculiarly intoxicating drug, made from the Indian hemp plant. Its fascination for me did not lie in the singular sleep it would produce, but rather, what might happen during that sleep. Shortly after midnight on the big night, I managed to break away from my friends who were still discussing their emotions of the evening, and prepared, in the safety of my study, for the experiment. I put on my old dressing gown and slippers, to make myself as comfortable as possible, shook the pillows on my daybed, lay down, and swallowed a black lump of hashish. I rolled over on the daybed, but alas, too far, I slipped off the edge. To my unutterable surprise, I did not fall, but remained suspended in the air! An inf voluntary push upward lifted me still higher in the air. I looked down, lying on the daybed, was a person certainly myself or my double! Then I remembered. Hashish causes the soul to leave the body. Here I was then, a spirit, free to wander into the universe-into the past, the present, or the future. Since I had known the past, and was living the present, I decided to seek for the future. By sheer desire I for rather my spiritj rose up, up . . . through the open window and up into the atmosphere. Then I traveled swiftly into the void. How long I went, or how far, I do not know, but far off I espied a world which I somehow felt was the world of thingsfto-be. Subsequent developments proved that it was . . . and approximately 1950. Soon I was passing over thickly built metropolises, interspersed at great intervals with huge areas of green country lands. I was not alone in the air. Swarms of well appointed auto-planes and tiny dirigibles flew in endless lines. I caught sight of but few of their makes, There were GriilithfI'Iartman's QI vividly recalled Grant and Edwardj, and 'LRoeschfBrittner's planes, Edward Piranian' and Robert Foell dirigiblesg monster planes made by the powerful corporation headed by Sam Kuntz, George Howard, Joseph Clark, Howard Snyder and Alvin Wetzel. Dropping silently to earth, I began to wander along the street illed with homev ward bound multitudes. In the crowds that passed, I searched for a familiar face. For a while I recognized no one, but gazed amusedly to see the men dressed more gaudily than the women, and equally well powdered and painted. As I learned later, everyone did it, apparently it was the thing to do. Suddenly a wellfknown face presented itself-that of Alex Satinsky. He rushed forward and grasped my hand. His first words gave me my cue. It's good to see you back from France, we've kept a room in the big house for you. Harry Takiff, state prosecutor, and Joe Bell, a justice of the Supreme Court, have their offices on the lower floor. Victor Satinsky sits in the garden nearly all the time, reading, and writing poetry. I've my medical office there, too. We'vc been waiting for you to start writing your novels here in America with us. One hundred twentytwo I CLASS OFJU E1930 i O wi! l0 0 I was a novelist, then. My curiosity got the better of me and I plied question after question. As we walked along, he told me of the people we had known. Judith Weiss, he said, has become a universally known composer and pianist. I heard her at a recital the other dayg there was a big group of the musically inclined there, too: Lois Brown, Minnie Friedman, Esther Heisler, Ruth Weiner, Lillian Glick- man, Harriet Pincus, Herbert Gorin, and Sylvia Schwartz. Oh! Yes. And the same day I saw the incomparable twins, Eleanor and Regina Rafferty. They were in big time talkies, and told me that Leona Rosenfeld is writing lyrics for pantomimes. But they're not the only ones who've gone in for drama. Why, I heard Myrtle Daniels as Ophelia, and Walter Mutchler as the melancholy Dane himself-in Hamlet. They say Leonard Rosenthal is playing Shakespearean roles, too. Esther Weinberg is doing more subtle, Cleopatrish parts. And after Phil Shipe made such a record in football at Penn, M. G. M. signed him up for a long term in radio pictures. Janet Yeager is a budding Ethel Barrymore. Good Lord! I exclaimed, has everyone gone in for a career? Well, not quite, though that was some class for professionals. Still, Clara Rush, Dorothea Nenstiel, Rosemary Malone, Anna Levin, Cecile Abraham, Lillian Brook, and Lillian Frederick have gone in for fivefyear marriage contracts. They even say that Doris Greenberg, Alice Barnick, Gertrude Brown, Ethel Kauffman and Thelma McGuigan have permanent licenses. Of course, you know jerry Rubin, a prominent surgeon, has been married three times, and is still going strong. That leads Maurice Rudin fwho's an engineerj by one. Margaret Shively married a banker because she got so used to moneyg but Eileen Crozier entered into matrimony with someone you know rather well-remember Graham? There are lots of others married, too, Gazelle Cohn fshe has two beautiful childrenj, Ruth Jacobs, Helen Koskul, Anna Mehrer, Emily Miller, Rosalie Bernstein, Naomi Rotman, Helen Sadusky fwho's keeping up with her musicj, Marie Bauman, Mary Teresko, Ethel Adams, Constance Foley, Clara Martin and Helen Race. The boys didn't turn out to be so shy either. Quite a few of them are married. There are Harold Michel, Sidney Toprov, Edwin Wiegman fnow a bond salesmanj, David Askin, Milton Melnicove, Henry Freiman, Isadore Finkelman, William Perf kins, Adalph Weinstock, Charles Peltz, Norman Pickels, Christian Binder and Leonard Salkowitzf' We had been riding along the low speed moving pavement, and by this time had arrived before an enormous building marked Judicial Al said that we should prob' ably find many of our former friends inside. We therefore entered U. S. Court No. 21. , A dramatic dialogue met our ears as Court Crier Frank Blanco motioned us to our seats. District Attorney Morris Berger, flanked by a remarkable staff of lawyers, Ruth Bliden, Arthur Lorch, Isadore Meltzer, John Simon, Leo Wigdor and Leon Simon, was arguing with Chief Justice Betty Thompson. Finally Betty ruled that the court clerks read some previously stated evidence. The Lieberman twins, Edith and Minerva, solemnly arose as one and chanted the passage desired. In the paneled section where they stood, I saw several other well' known faces, who I fancy were clerks, there were Edith Pintzuk, Frances Chernicoff, Eva Fishman, Marion Arnsthal, Minnie Sherman, Reba Abrams, Gladys Olsen, Sylvia Manalis and Mildred Shingler. The policemen on duty were only too familiar, William Ackerman fwho wrote One hundred twenty-three Um lC l ll O8 !..Q.i-.a.,x1S..a.Q.1.f:.,11.L.mf...i.22..Q..! poetry on the slyj, Solomon Greenberg, Sam Rosenberg, Edward Neibauer, Louis Mauer, and Adolp Weiser. I was mostly interested in a group of reporters and correspondents near the front of the court. I went over favoiding Frank's wary eyej and saw iirst Julius Balis who received me enthusiastically. He told me he was a special reporter on the Daily Mail and offered me a copy to read. I glanced down the Erst page and was immediately attracted by the folf lowing headlines: Robert Conkling Gains Control of International Newspaper Corporation. There was someone who got what he wanted. A leading article explained that Adolph Borowski and Thomas Boyd, consult' ing engineers, cofoperating with Sidney Feldman Company, plan a new OmnifPlane Service. Another said that Gladys Ettinger, star of the Planet Review, had broken her contract and was being sued by Victor Lipson, Phillip Pinsker, Henry Rose, Aaron Maimin and A'lfred Soiffer, producers of the review. The article mentioned Gladys' cofstar, Bob MacMullen, and listed the following ladies of the ensemble-Adeline Alberts, Edna McFadden, Virginia Fox, Eva G. Fishman, Belle Keiner, Marie Brown and Sadie Kaplin, and of the vocal chorus: Ida Davis, Jennie Cwinklinske, Molly Schnitzler, Doris Ambler, Agnes Ward, Madeline Smith and Florence Siegel. A picture of Sam Fishbein and Wesley Haubner bore the caption: Mathef maticians debate the existence of straight lines. i From the paper I also learned that Wanda Szeliga had just finished a portrait of Benjamin Hansen, the noted author: that Gustine Burwell, the social service worker had just returned from a trip abroad: that Joseph Browne and James Shaw had dis- covered a new light ray, that Sylvia BrettfSchneider had just published a translation of Colombag that Dorothy Huber, Ethel Senior, Erwin Schulman and Reba Swertf loif had received appointments to the National Board of Education: that Stephen Pryczak had gone around eighteen holes of golf in as many shots, that Alcard Slater had signed up with the A's: that Beatrice Shaffer, the famous actress, had just returned from England. On the woman's page, which was edited by Eleanor Lisack, was a column called Advice to the I.ovelorn, conducted by Evelyn Cohan and Hilda Zarretg How to Make Money, by Sam Berger, and the weekly story contributed by the renowned novelist, Betty Geffen. The sport page surprised me not a little. It was edited by Leonard 'Maltz. From it I learned that William Bickel had just broken the 44Ofyard dash record at the Penn Relays. John Dwyer, similarly, had lowered the 220fyard dash record by several seconds. Abe Goodman was coaching the Elks' basketball team, while David Gold' berg, Joseph Grasberger, Milton Cookenback, and William Goldstein were gym instrucf tors. Bernard Love coached the baseball team, William Pfieifer, the tank men, and Louis Sobel the soccer team. Doris Bertram headed the women's physical training department at the Y and Nelson Wilsky the men's. Dorothy Rubin was riding instructor, Beatrice Sadler, fencing coach, and Faye Horowitz, dancing and drama instructor. A Further in the paper I noted that at a recent teachers' convention the following had addressed the group: Mary Goldman, Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, Rita Henderson, Spanish instructor at West Philadelphia High, Nathan Newstien, head of Science Department at Drexel, Bemard Volovitz, Hygiene teacher, One hundred twentyffour OW IOMOQIMOIMOMO I CLASS or UNE19 o I O s nFo O Harriet Unger, Professor of Social Sciences at Temple, Rose Slom, of the Home Eco' nomics Department of our own Gratzg Ada Yeaman, teacher of modern and ultra' modern music, James Moore, Benjamin Drain, William Phillips and Burton Hill, of the Industrial Arts Department of Temple, Inglis Huston, teacher of Corporation Law at the University of Pennsylvania, and Claudine Foster, dean of women at Tuskegee Institute. Members of the Philadelphia school system present had among them Kath- ryn Ginsburg, sociologist, Esther Lutto, Celia Cunin, and Helen Melvin, teachers of commercial studies, Marion Gerhart, musicg Mildred Schneider, English, Florence Mengel, aide of student activities, and Edith Fry, head of the Domestic Science Department. Sylvia Bromberg, a rescue worker from New York's East Side, had returned to lecture about her accomplishments. Lucy Brodsky, a social service worker, was to tell about her work among the mountaineers' colonies in the South. Henry Pothick announced the opening of the new offices of his newspaper audit' ing firm, with Oscar Fisher as vicefpresident and Norman Rubinstein, treasurer. fEdith Doctorman was his private secretary, and Emma Moore, his bookkeeper, I learned later.j Just as I was glancing through the list of editors fthere were Lillian Kern, Gertrude Gittis, Max Dauer, Henry Flinker and Viola Snyderj Blanco yelled, Court adjourned. After searching for Al, the three of us left the courtroom. On our way out of the building we paused before a list of stenographers who had just passed the highest Civil Service Examination. We were agreeably surprised to see the names of Jeanette Eisenberg, Ida Faggin, Mae Greisler, Dorothy Jones, Katherine Tabasco, Elizabeth Vogelsang, Mollie Weinstien, Eleanor Weiss, Sara Wolf, Ann Berg, Sarah Fishman, Ethel Neidorf and Mary Sheckman. Living up to his occupation Jule told me as much news of the class as he could remember. Jean Cohen is teaching school in France waiting for the return of something or someone, Jule said. QI had seen her in Paris and knew what he meant.J And do you remember Edythe Blombaum? She's the nurse in Harry Boos' dentalfsurgery office. Ted Collins is an ofhcer in the AnglofAmerican army. I think he's an airplane squad commander. Alfred Fischer is a marriage contract lawyer, he's just taken Ed' ward Edelstien and Thaddeus Kapalka into partnership.

Bernard Katz, a protege of Eddie Cantor, has made a fortune as a comedian. Graham Hunter is the head of a big silk stocking corporation. Why, there's one of his chain stores now!

O Rose Meyers, dressed in garments of varyingly shaped hemlines. QSO they haven't solved the problem yet, I sighed to myselfj Mme. Laure, herself, presently came over to chat with us. She told us that Beatrice Neff, Henry Seltzer, Helen Hansberry and Philip Wishnefsky had opened a department store, selling everything from fresh peaches to threefton Mack planes. The business department consisted of stenographers-Henrietta Platt, Edna Schmid, Vera Poethe, Sara Rea, Ethel Root, Louise Morrison and Dorothy Goldstein, head bookkeepers-Ruth Blumfleld and Clara Gabel. Anna Showaker and Harrison Wilson were buying sport goods, Abe Weiner and Morris Schmukler, men's clothing, Mary Spear, Julia Silverstien and Mary Odalbashian, women's clothing, and Nathan Lenat, books and stationery. Harold Levin was general manager and Gilbert Iosephf son in charge of the sales department. Dorothy Pyle was chief floorwalker. Out of the shop, we passed infront of Malvina Jones' Gift Shop, pausing to read the title of the books on display in the window. We noted particularly: Francis Meyer's 'Chess in Two Lessons, John Stevens' Travelogues, Berthold Voltz's Social Scif ence Made Easy, Walter Storey's New Russia, Charlotte Milczarek's VJhat's Wrong With Education, Victor Odendhal's Algebra Preferred, Dorothea Meyen's How to Do Things Though a Senator, Carmen Hele's New Trigonometry, Dena Kosman's Psychology of Being Pleasant, Eleanor Pollock's Defense of jazz, Benjamin Gershf man's Destructive Chemistry, Al Dickman's Be Prepared, Philip Deodati's Cold Cash, Thelma Brown's How to Make a Party Successful, Herbert Blumenthal's A Rhapsody in Decoration, Thomas Bumm's new edition of Hamlet, Edith Grasheim's How to Act, Robert Porter's New Uses for Electricity, Mildred Weagle's sensational novel Pal to Everyone, Orazio Cucinotta's Mussolini, Russell Bell's Elocution Selffffaught, Max Weiners' Autobiography, Frank Gerlitz's How to Become a Politician and Elizabeth Libofsky's 'The Social Sciences. In the window there was also a group of oil paintings by Mathilda Sadler, George Sharer and William Miller, and a model of the new National Education Building, by James Lord. This building, incidentally, was designed by Arthur Rockenback and Lawrence Rosner, and was then being constructed by the Zenith Company, owned 'and controlled by Paul Goldman, Edward Herling, Arthur Knott and Thomas McCoy. As Al had to see someone in the Metropole Building, we went in. The directory next to the elevators was quite edifying. Many names were those of former Gratz students. Herbert Baker and Ruth Getzinger had a music studio, Charlotte Barag and Helen Coyne an advertising agency. We met Helen while going up, she told us that Ethel Balis, Anne Naschold, and Bertha Custins were their stenogs, Fred Pierami and Louis Chropka their accountants, and Evelyn Baumner, Yetta Berman, and Katherine Palmer their bookkeepers. Jessie Phy, assisted by Hazel Barret, Hazel Hammersly, Dorothy Hammer, Helen McCabe and Dorothy Goetz conducted a dancing studio on the roof. Al said that Ruth Greenberg, the aviatrix, Muriel Gilford, the demure clubwoman, Elizabeth Og' den, the clever stylist, and Catherine Brining were frequenters of the studio. In a room on the first floor was a permanent exhibition of some of Frederick Frese's discoveries in electricity, as well as models of Harry Hersh's wellfknown gliders, Edward Gill's music tower and David Rosenblum's proof of the existence of a fourth dimension. The offices of Lester Segal and Company, producers of radiophone pictures, oc' cupied a whole floor of the building. When we were up to see Lester, we were pleased to find that he had many former Gratzites in his employ.

John and Miller Williams had their law ofhces in the building. Bella Krasen is their private secretary. Fred Simon, the famous criminal lawyer, had his suite on the same floor. Henry Schneider's airplane firm also had rooms in the Metropole. Robert Scholenf dorn as chief designer, Stephen Mathers as general manager and William Magargee, head mechanic were employed by Schneider, Inc. Freda Edelman, Fay Freeman. and Elizabeth Donaghue were the Hrm's stenographers. We left the building and went for a stroll under the starry sky. It was quite late and I realized that I had better tarry no longer or risk never returning to my earthly body. I'm sorry, I must be going back, Al, I said. MI hope I'm not too late. Why, what do you mean? Al demanded. You're not going back to France! Paris? Later, perhaps. I checked the desire to tell him I was going back to carth and that I wouldn't return from France for twenty years. Au revoir, Al. In a few minutes I was speeding through the void towards the earth, hoping I would not be too late, I entered my room by the still open window, lay down beside my pale, chilled body and closed my eyes, Presently I realized I was shut in my human shell, The hashish had worked!

Our class, following the custom set by the preceeding groups, adopted the white dresses almost Grecian in their simplicity. The success of our commencement was in a large part due to the beauty and uniformity of the graduf ation dresses, the whiteness of which formed a harmonious background for the bouquets of red roses the girls carried. The clever seating arrangement, so well defined by the white gowns and dark coats, was cleaved by a flaming band of red roses. Our girls felt so gay in the gleam' ing, simple dresses that their sprightly feelings rendered a reflected animation in the singing. The credit for this success goes to the energetic committee, under the helpful guidance of Miss Wood. One hundred thirtyftwo W lC C ll Ol m I CLASS or JUNE, 1930 I 0 w0il 00wlHO REPRESENTATIVES OF THE A CLASS HE A Class representatives are a group of hardfworking students, who do a lot of real work in the background, and receive very little credit. It is appropriate at this time to give them a big hand for their aid in loyally supporting every project placed before them. They were instrumental in turning many class attempts into successful business ventures. That there were few delinquents in paying class dues illustrates the service and value of the A class representatives to the class. Our school paper, the Spotlight, owes them a great debt because as representatives they were invaluable to the success of the paper. They have approached every undertaking with an enthusiastic spirit which has been particularly helpful in making our class a successful business venture. In fact, to every project that-was laid before them, they offered their loyal support. One hundved thirty-three I CIQAS 53512 5 3 BANQUET COMMITTEE HE night before commencement! Excitement! Good food! Speakers! This describes only partially the banquet of the graduating class. With due respect to the speakers, the affair was made more enjoyable because of the brevity of the speeches and the interesting subjects chosen. The distribution of attractive favors to every member of the class was an unexf pected and delightful surprise. The unique decorations streaming from table to table, and the huge Gratz banners in evidence throughout the room added much to the color of the occasion and enhanced the Gratz spirit that was so prevalent throughout the evening. School songs bursting forth from different quarters of the dining room, music, dancing, reminiscences of good times at Gratz, stories, and jokes contributed to the pandemonium. Happy smiles, and laughter! The members of the class were deter' mined to make their last social event a success. All too soon the curfew was rung. Goodfbyes were called out from every side. Everyone was laughing, but through the smiles there was a suggestion of sadness. Betty Thompson and all the members of her committee deserved all the congratuf lations they received, for itywas through their earnest work that the affair was a booming success One hundred thirty-four 5 0O Q3l l! O O l CL'A55.2E.JU1'EI.E 9.Z.9.....! DANCE COMMITTEE ECAUSE of the diligent work of the A and B Dance Committees, two dances were run that were great successes both socially and financially. Tlhe monetary returns were used to assist the class in various enterprises that could not have been undertaken without the money received from these dances. The dances, however, were not given merely through pecuniary motives. They afforded everyone present a most enjoyable time. In addition, the committees gathf ered talent to sing and dance, thus making the affairs more delightful and entertaining. During both terms, glamor was added to these festive occasions by the distribution of favors among the dancers. The colored hats, tin horns, confetti, and serpentina made the dances of the Class of June, '30, tumultous revels of color and fun, and marked them as the best dances arranged during the year. Both committees deserve a great deal of credit, inasmuch as their work was ham' pered by extreme difficulties. Not only was it necessary for the committees to print tickets, but also to distribute them to the various books. They also took it upon them' selves to see to it that each person was thoroughly enjoying himself or herself. One hundred thirtyffiue Qimlllmil D i 01.15 15...9.....l l TICKET COMMITTEE BfA ERHAPS no other committee has been more successful in pouring large sums of money into the class coffers than the Ticket Committee. Our treasury was greatly bolstered by the nice sums turned over to it by this diligent committee. Their persef verance and highfpowered sales talk resulted in a sale of tickets unprecedented in Gratz history. No stone was left unturned to make this important venture of our class a successful one. The friendly competition that raged between the A and B classes only resulted in arousing our class to greater efforts. The ultimate success achieved is worthy witness of the efforts of this ambitious committee. During the B term the success of Gala Night was largely due to the faithful work of the committee during that term. And during the A term our energy was concenf trated in surpassing the previous record. Surely such efforts deserved the success they received. One hundrjed thirtyfsix Cm C Owl 9 Cml m' I CLASS or UNE19 o I O s oogo l PROM COMMITTEE V ANTALIZING tunes from crooning saxophones, jazzy strains from moaning clarf inets, and singing couples shuflling across the ball-room-all this played up to the most successful Senior Prom ever staged by Gratz High. What a night! Few Seniors will ever forget the colorful atmosphere produced by the Cherry and White decorations. Newly tailored tuxes and beautiful evening gowns added atmosphere to the affair. Many, enthusiastic about the good time they had had, determined to continue it by going to town for a while to continue the merrymaking. But no aftermath could improve on the greatest of great of our high school careers. Henry Schneider and his committee proved that their work to make this prom a success was not in vain. Always on the spot to straighten out any difiiculties, the members of the committee, with ribbons in their lapels, made this May dance the biggest event of the year.

SENATE AWARDS VERY term the Senate of our school chooses a group of students who merit some reward for work done for the school. The people who receive such awards sense a special pride in receiving such oihcial recognition from their highest student legislative body. The deserving students are either recomrneded by the student body or by the Senators themselves. Enterprising students who do especially fine work about the building, or are responsible in spreading the name of the school favorably, are usually the recipients of the awards. The Achievement Award, which is given for exceptional work in some partic' ular field was awarded in the B term to Joseph Bell, Jean S. Cohen, Sidney Eisenberg, Edward Hartman, Robert Howard, and in the C term to Morris Berger and Harry Takiff.

The evo' lution from the Big Top, a mimeographed leaflet, to the modern sixfcolumn, four' page publication of our A term has been a large contribution to Gratzonian tradition. A major part of the editing and reporting has been accomplished by members of our class. To achieve a snappy, newsy tone by organizing fresh news, and collecting future material to keep the student body acquainted with student affairs, has been the goal. Its editorial columns have been exceptionally fine, and have fearlessly dis- cussed current problems in an effort to carry out the highest journalistic ideal, that of improving school conditions and building up a high morale. Stalf members were: Sidney Eisenberg, Julius Balis, Lillian Kern, Eleanor Lisack, Jean Cohen, Max Dauer, Henry Flinker, Gertrude Gittis, Charlotte Barag, Ruth Jacobs, Celia Kunin, Eleanor Pollock, Julius Arduino, Bernard Katz, William Miller and Philip Pinsker.

SENATE HE Senate, as the highest legislative body in the school, is an important factor in determining the policy of our school. Its duties are to enact laws, to appoint necessary committees and councils, to make awards, and supervise student activities. It also acts as a medium between the faculty and student body. Many times during the term it takes charge of assemblies in order to arouse in the student body a greater school spirit and cofoperation. The school has been particularly fortunate in past terms, and especially this term, in having as Senators, students who are line representatives of the student body. There is no doubt but that our student government, to a great extent, owes much of its success to the labors and ability of this body. This body has surely done its share to determine the needs of our school and as far as possible to supply them.

COURT OMPOSED of a small body of intrepid, zealous, and sincere workers is the Gratz Student Court. In full accord with our policy of student participation and with favored democratic ideals, we, too, have trial by our peers. These are students elected by the school who mete out decisions, and if advisable, punishments. All cases whereby students offend school laws made by legislative bodies are brought to trial before the court. Through the efforts of this term's jurists, who are worthily advancing former standards, conditions throughout the school have been improved. We feel that in this field especially has our class done commendable work, and established a Hrmer foundation for future classes. By their constructive work a higher conception of Student Government and a deeper respect for its laws and oilicers have been instilled.

Five members of the championship team graduated. However, under the guiding hand of our coach, Mr. Detsch, the team was again built up. K During the Hrst debate, the champions of Delaware County, Glen Nor, were met on the question of Capital Punishment and defeated 6 to 3. The team was composed of Milton Davis, Joseph Bell, and Harry Takiif. Then came our defence of the Philomaethean Cup. Many tryouts were held before two satisfactory teams were chosen. The question chosen was: Resolved: That the U. S. cease protecting by armed force the interests of her citizens in foreign countries. The negative team, Walter Mutchler, Milton Davis, and Max Weiner, defeated Northeast to the tune of 8 to 1. The Afhrmative team at Gratz, consisting of Alex Satinsky, Joseph Bell, and Harry Takiff, defeated Central by a score of 7 to 2. Although both teams had succeeded in defeating their opponents, a playoff was necessary as Southern had also won both debates. Therefore on the evening of April 23 the afiimative team having been chosen to defend the trophy travelled to the beautiful Irvine Auditorium at the University of Pennsylvania to clash with the Southern negative team. Before a huge audience the defenders of the cup, namely, Alex Satinsky, Joseph Bell, Harry Takiff Qcaptainj, and Milton Davis falternatej, successfully turned back the Southern defenders by an overwhelming score of 7 to 2. The school was superbly supported by a large perf centage of Gratz rooters. For a second time a Gratz team had succeeded in retaining the Philomaethean Cup, despite the valiant efforts of the other High Schools to wrest it from us.

PRS! i SOCCER-FALL 1929 THE soccer team booted its way to a tie for second place with Frankford in the Public High School Soccer League. Each member of the team played well. One of the booters was selected as captain of the AllfPublic High School Team of Phila' delphia. Although the work of each player was a little above par, there was excel- lent team work, which fact helped the team to make the success that it did. The Gratz Junior Varsity also established a promising record, by placing second with Central High. The most valuable and reliable player on the team was George Felte, center halfback. The Junior Varsity won four games, lost one to Northeast, and tied two-one with Frankford and one with Overbrook. Louis Sobel and Bob Gorden, two excellent booters, will be lost to the soccer team by graduation. The Gratz soccer team, coached by William Brink, finished its third year of competition with a marvelous record. If the good work is continued there is no doubt that Gratz will also have a. soccer championship soon. One hundred forfyfsix 'T5'1'Q 'QEE 'I E5T' l l i5 5iml l FOOTBALL-1929 EXPERIENCING one of the greatest football seasons in the history of Simon Gratz High, the Cherry and White eleven presented a formidable gridiron machine. Functioning under the able tutelage of Head Coach Ben Cresse, former Temple University captain, and Assistant Wilbur DeTurk, the past season, on the whole, was a creditable one for the 'hBulldogs. Reaching the height of allfscholastic calibre, the Gratz. football machine proved its mettle in its initial entry in the Public High School Football League by completing the season in a tie for second place with five victories and two setbacks. Central and Overbrook High were the only teams that stopped the fast moving Gratz linemen. Phil Shipe, of the A class, captained the team and displayed good generalship and stellar playing ability throughout the season. The members of the football squad who are being graduated with our class are: Ed Quinley, Adolph Weiser, and Rus Bell. Each aided materially toward the success of the eleven.

CRGSS COUNTRY-192960 INEXPERIENCE had much to do with the outcome of the past cross country season. The Cherry and White team took eighth place, Coach julian Hickok, although lacking experienced material to make up the squad, formed a group of performers who were able to withstand the strong opposition presented by their fellow members in the Public High School Cross Country League. Those running for the last time for Gratz, and being graduated in june are Arthur Knott and Burton Hill. Knott starred throughout the year by coming in fourth in the Northeast Catholic meet and second in the Upper Darby race. Hill came in seventh in the Upper Darby match and fourth man in the second team league. One hundred fortyfeigllt iII.9AmS IQETQEI I 1 GIRLS' HOCKEY HE hockey team opened its season's first game by trimming Abington High to the tune of 4f1. Before the popular outcry had faded away, Gratz had van' quished the Roxborough team, 6f1. The invincible Gratz team was picked for the championship meet with the Frankfordites, who have held the crown for many sea' sons. Through the able coaching of Miss Kuhl, the Gratzites had a strong defense and showed splendid team work. Although our senior members, Helen McCabe fcaptainj, janet Yeager, and Betty Thompson tried their best to send that pill across the goal line, we did not succeed in trouncing the Frankfordites and suffered defeat, 2-1. We again stirred up our fighting spirit, but our attempts were in vain and the game ended with a score of 4f2. The team was, however, judged as one of the ablest teams in the league.

WMS OQ i4l O 0 GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL N SPITE of Captain Bertram's continual coaxing, the girls failed to pass that ball, which resulted with a victory for Kensington. Again the Cherry and White lost within a few points of victory to Southern. However, this did not discourage the spirit of Gratz, for, once again, we are in battle with our old friend, Frankford. Much to our regret, it resulted in a victory for Frankford, but they fought hard to carry home their laurels. There was still a glow of fire in our girls, and on to victory they rode by defeating Roxborough. Despite this 4 to l defeat of the season's game, we feel sure that Cratz is coming back next season with revenge and a new fighting spirit. Much credit is to be given our able coach, Mrs. Fitzgerald, for the splendid passing and teamwork she has instilled in them. The Senior members are Doris Bertram fcaptainj, Ccky Brightcliffe, Carmen Hele, and Betty Vogelsang.

GIRLS' LEADERS CLASS NDER the careful and eilicient eye of Miss Lukert, the Girls' Leaders Class has demonstrated the splendid work that can be accomplished with sufficient prac- tice. Those who have observed these girls realize what amount of praise and gratif tude they should receive. Have you ever seen our girls demonstrate their skill in gymnastics and athletic games? Every Friday these willing workers assemble not only to receive instructions and practice but also to help in the promotion of athletics and to learn to give a helping hand to those who find gym work arduous to master. The development of this spirit of helpfulness, which is being instilled in the girls, is in itself one of the finest things that could: be attempted. Moreover, they are benef fitting themselves physically by taking proper exercise under excellent supervision. One hundred jftyfone ! 0l l Olwilmlm TENNIS TEAM-192930 OR the past three seasons the Gratz tennis team, coached by Mr. Joseph Oser, displayed considerable ability by taking second place in both the Public High and Interscholastic Tennis Leagues. Last spring the Cherry and White racqueteers won seven matches and lost but one to the champion Penn Charter netmen. During the fall, the invincible Gratz racquet wielders proved to be a serious obstacle for West Philadelphia High, last year's chamf pions. But in spite of this, the Speedboys were able to brush aside this threat, and ngosed out the 17th and Hunting Parkers by the score of 3f2. The final rating for the Gratz team was second place, winning Hve and losing two. Sol Greenberg, who is being graduated with our class, is a member of the Gratz star team. During the past season, he established an enviable record. One hundred fiftyftwo l C l 9 lmlM0 l,..Q.1'2..i5.,.5...Q1.,!.l.?.1!.l1l3,..:.,.!.f,22...! BOYS' TRACK-1929130 PROSPECTS this spring for the Gratz track team seem very bright and hopeful. Coach Ben Cresse and Assistant Coach Joseph Schweitzer predict strong opposition in the coming track events. Last season, the Cherry and White runners took Hfth place in the Public High School Track League. Probably one of the outstanding stars of the team was Louis Bauer of our class. Last spring, it was mainly his sprinting and jumping that kept up the spirit of the squad. The members of the team in this year's graduating class are: Bill Magargee, quarter mileg Bill Bickel, high jump and quarter mileg johnny Dwyer, 220 and 440g Phil Shipe, shotput and discusg Arthur Knott, quarter and halffrnile, and Louis Bauer, 100 and 200 yards, broad jump and high jump. One hundred jijty-three IWLLKWS I T E! i C V 1 GIRLS' BASKETBALL T HE girl's basketball team of Simon Gratz High started the season by losing to Philadelphia Normal by the close score of 35243. On the return game Gratz showed its ability, and defeated Normal 5Of43. The team continued to win its games by defeating Springfield, 35f24g Temple High, 91f8g Roxborough High, 61-8, and Southern High, 2'5f19. Then came the chance long awaited-Frankford vs. Gratz for the title of City Champions. Our aim was to hold the championship won by our girls last year. Frankforcl's aim was to regain the title lost to Gratz after holding it for six consecutive years. Frankford reached its goal and defeated Gratz, 29f9. Senior members of the squad are: Alice Brightcliffe, guardg Connie Miller and Dorothy jones, forwards. Our team, this year, was greatly handicapped by the loss of our star forward, Ruth Blumield.

SWIMMING TEAM-192980 WIMMING, one of the recently organized sports at Gratz, was inaugurated in a whirlwind fashion. Starting at the beginning with a string of losses, the Cherry and White mermen showed strong opposition in the last half of the season. Undismayed by eighth place in the Public High School Swimming League, Coach William Reichelt has declared that, the boys this year have shown the greatest en' thusiasm ever seen at the start of a new sport. Considering the fact that the team did badly at the beginning of the season, the newcomers upset all expectations when they took second place during the city Cham' pionship meet. Captain Vic Satinsky, Art Lorch, and Al Soiffer are those leaving with our class. The swimming team will sorely feel the loss of these stars next season.

BOYS' BASKETBALL-192960 EAVING its way through a diflicult schedule, the Gratz basketeers, led by Captain Harold Arbogast, won the right to enter the Hrst team Basketball League, by proving themselves champions of the Reserve League. Starting with a fine nucleus of veterans and excellent new material, Coach Wilf bur DeTurk lost no time in molding together a winning quintette. The court repref sentatives established an admirable record of sixteen games won and seven lost. Stirring victories over South Philadelphia, Overbrook, Frankford, Central and Germantown, proved to be the high lights of the season. Probably the most noteworthy triumph of the schedule, was that scored over West Philadelphia, the last league game. With the first half over, and the score 12f8 favor the Speedboys, the Cherry and White five put on a fighting rally in the closing minutes to snare the contest by the score of 22f21. Al Dickman, star forward and guard, Bill Bickel, center, and Manager Art Knott, are the only members of the basketball team who are members of our class. All helped substantially in winning the championship. One hundred ftftyfsix OM O O 8 3 l l! O l....Q...1.f.'5.-Q...5.......Q..If.?.Q1'9....4....Q.2.Q...... BASEBALL TEAM-SPRING 1930 COACH Russel McDonald received an excellent turnout when the call for base- ball candidates was published. Fully fifty prospects responded. The prospects for the year proved very favorable. Proof of the fine work accomplished by them can be found in the records of the games played. There were also quite a few old standbys on the team headed by its able captain, Joe Gaffney. joe managed the team with exceptional ability, and in nearly every tight game a timely single was offered by him. The pitching candidates after long and diligent practice and coaching by Mr. Mc- Donald were in fine condition to carry the team through as successfully as they did. However, this would not have been possible if it were not for the fine support of the entire team. - The baseball team this year entered in the First Team League and opened the season with Penn Charter. It was the aim of every member of the squad to try to equal last year's record. Last spring the Cherry and White baseball team covered itself with glory, by carrying off the Reserve Public High School Baseball League championship. One hundred fiftyfseven ,,,,V,V I ....... mf!

We have some excellent material among the prospects which favors the hope of a strong combination. After watching several practices and workouts a number of good clubbers have been noticed. The keynote of our national sport, alertness, has been dominant in the squad. With Mrs. Hall's encouragement and support as coach great deeds Qhome runs, are expected. The Seniors candidates are: Stephanie Mielczarek, Dot Nenstiel, and Ann Shovvaker.

A glance at the snap and pep displayed on the triangle during practice is a Hne indication of future successes. With the other teams, our track activities have been hampered by lack of prec' edents and accomplished veterans. However, our classmates have done excellent work last spring and will probably shine in various events this season. The seniors are: Hazel Barett, Marie Brown, Anne Mehrer, Connie Miller, Edna Schmid, Ocky Brightcliife, and Elizabeth Voglesang. Outstandingly brilliant in their bright Cherry and White uniforms, Gratz may well be proud of possessing such fine athletes.

However, despite this fact, Coach Joseph Schweitzer assisted by Harry Litwack built about such stars of our class as: john Seiter, Charles Skelton, Adolph Borowski, Milt Cookenback, Sam Berger, Wesley Haubner, and Victor Odendhahl, a strong team. Though their work in the early contests was not brilliant the Cherry and White surpassed all expectations in the final meets. Placing second to Northeast in the Public High School League, winning live and losing two, the Gratz gymnasts added glory to themselves by giving Girard College their only setback of the season. Temple University freshmen also suffered defeat at the hands of our team. In the championship matches which took place at the Turngemeinde, Milt Cookenback won the horizontal bar championship of the city. One hun dred sixty f k I 0 f W' 'Q Q XXX 5 ' J SPORTS QQ?
