RECORD BOOKS BREAK THEIR HEARTS MANY TIMES OVER. SOMETHING MUST BE SACRIFICED IN THE CONDENSATION. THE SACRIFICE MAY BE A TRIBUTE TO THE FACULTY THAT GROWS RICHER WITH THE YEARS, A SYMPATHETIC AND PRICELESS PORTRAYAL OF ONE'S CLASSMATES, OR AN HONEST DEPICTION OF THE RICHNESS OF SCHOOL ACTIV- ITY. WE THINK THAT IN THESE PAGES NO GREAT INJUS- TICE HAS BEEN DONE TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL LIFE. RATHER DO WE HOPE THAT IN THEM YOU WILL FIND A COMPLETE AND HEARTFELT APPRECIATION OF WHAT GRATZ HAS MEANT TO US. IJEDICHTIUH HE term democracy as it is most widely understood signifies a government of the people, by the people, for the people. It has a rather limited, political meaning in its wordly use. We have taken this word which can be classed with all others in a book called a dictionary and which may be defined in so many other words of common use-we have taken it and put a halo around it. In our key-title, Design for Democracyf, the last word is not as simple as it appears to be. It cannot be defined. We have given it untold powers of significance, and in it we have epito- mized the theme of this record of our high school lives. Our new word democracy does not refer merely to a QIOV- ernment operated on democratic principles. It includes democ- racy in every phase of human life-democracy in social, moral, religious, and political life: democracy in every little action we take: democracy in our very thoughtsg and, most meaningful of all, democracy as a basis for our ideals. And so this book and the youth it represents are dedicated to the forming, the faithful practicing and upholding of a work- able, liveable Design for Democracy. We really mean to call each other, We really mean to keep in touch, But We're so busy when we graduate That we don't see each other much. Class reunions are never quite Just what they're meant to be. We seldom see the people Whom we really want to see. And so, to help you to remember To make more clear the backward look We give you names, events, and faces, In this-your Record Book. lheSCHUUl L1 EMOCRACYN is the embodiment of tolerance, freedom, and equality. There is, perhaps, no institution which teaches democracy as well and as thoroughly as does the public high school. In high school, the student learns the meaning and value of controlled freedom. he appreciates racial and religious tol- erance, and is imbued with a spirit of equality. The high school pupil is introduced to democratic law making and law abiding. Thus, it is through the far reaching effects of the high school that the youth of today, the leaders of tomorrow, must be taught democracy.

The construction of a new' institution of learning had been completed. and its doors were opened to students from the Germantown. Central and North- east High Schools. The building was our own Simon Gratz High School, named for one of l'hiladel l 'z ' ' ' ' ' ' ' p ni s most cnnncnt scholars and citizens, and erected in his memory. On Armistice llay. 1928. dedication services were held. and Mr. Vvilliam Dick. secretary of the Board of lflducation, otliciatcd at the exercises. This was an in!- portant occasion. for, as guest speakers were present such distinguished men as Dr. Edwin C. Broome. Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. VVilliam Itowen, presi- dent of thc lioard of liducation. Gratz is pleasing to the eye outwardly because of its beautiful Gothic archi- tecture. and inwardly because of its spacious halls and many sunlit classrooms. Here we sec rooms for all the academic subjects. for the speedy. noiseless click of the typing classes, for the pursuit of scientific knowledge and experiments, and for individual creative work in art. The school is also equipped with two gymuasiums. one for boys, the other for girls. two student lunchrooms, a teachers' dining room. a large auditorium, a library, and seven locker rooms for the convenience of the pupils. At the head, of an n . , s rr HISIIICSS, industry or education. it is essential to have a leader. in the case of a school, a principal. The Board of Education appointed as principal of Simon Gratz, J. Elwood Calhoun. whose task it was to organize the faculty and student body into a smooth working force. 'l'his he accomplished within a comparatively short period. and the result v smooth running organization be it fi l ' MAIN OFFICPI MAIN OFFICE Nine LIBRARY was thc necessary coordination which makes for a successful school life. ive owe, indeed. a great deal to the quick thinking and precision of Mr. Calhoun. It was a great shock to the entire school. when on the morning of Tuesday, February 8, 1938, we learned of the death of our beloved principal, an untimely death which took him from the circle of his loving' family and friends, but he has left with us an indelible impression of kindness. sincerity and nobility of character. Assigned to teaching positions in Gratz were one hundred and fifteen instruc- tors of various subjects. At present. we still have with us a number of the original faculty. ive have with us four of ou.r original department hcadsg namely, Dr. M. llarid Hoffman. linglish Department: Ur. lfllmer Ulrich, Science Department: Mr. Clarence Garbrick. Mathematics llepartment. and Mr. Frederick Crispin. Mechanical Arts Department. The others arc. Mr. Stanley Birath. who assumed his duties as Head of the Commerce Department, after the department's former head. llr. 141. Carl VVerner had been promoted to the principalship of the Penn Treaty Junior lligh Schoolg Mr. Harry Snyder. Physical Education Department! Miss Annabel Turner. head of the Art Department. and Miss Jessie Evans. head of the History Department. Gratz is fortunate. for in selecting' llr. H. Carl VVerner as our new principal. the Board of Education made it possible for us to become acquainted with an old friend and former Gratzonian. Very soon after his arrival, Dr. Yverner proved his fairness and ability as a leader. and he has done much toward the improvement of our system. Perhaps. one of the greatest achievements of the school is thc student govern- ment. under the capable guidance of Mrs. Marion VVallace. Through the years. this governing body has developed and expanded to the benefit of both teachers and pupils. Since its introduction, the student government has increased its ac- tivities by a sizeable proportion. and has had with it the constant good will and direction of Mrs. Vllallace. as well as the enthusiastic support of the student body. Notable. too. are our dramatic achievements. It has been the custom to present each year. a musical entertainment known as Gala Night. The first of these pro- ductions was written in 1928, by Mr. Gerhard Angermann. member of the English faculty. and the review was such a success that it was decided to continue the practice in the future, This spring. the semi-ammal i'Gala Night. was replaced 'Ten MACHINE SHOP 41 INS'l'Al,l,A'l'lUN l'IXl'1RCISI'1S 'l'YPl'1Wli ITING Cl MARl5I,I'1 IIALI.

Eighteen HCTIVITIES H GOVERNMENT of the people, by the people, and for the people -these are old words that have been used many times, but the wisdom and fairness of the ideals they sym- bolize are reason enough for the tribute we pay them. Our student government is an embodiment of this idea of democ- racy. Wfe are very grateful for the valuable training we have received at Gratz High School, for we have learned to have confidence in ourselves and each other, and to uphold the idea that democracy is the best way of living.

An excellent example of this creed is our system of student government. Ten years ago our constitution was drawn np. and its most ilnportant provision called for a body of student gov- crnors. to be composed of the senate. court. house of rep- resentatives. and monitors. These groups have progressed rapidly under the able guidance of Mrs. Marion VV. VVallace, the sponsor of the Students Association, and each has its own special and very important duties. The senate is the law-making body and the court is the law-enforcing body. The two co-operate on various cam- paigns for school spirit. co-operation. order. and cleanliness. They hold meetings weekly: the senate on Tuesday, and the court on Monday. The senate has fourteen members. one or two senators representing each class: while the court has seven members. two judges from each of the three upper classes. The connecting link between the student body and the senate is the house of representatives. There is a, represen- tative elected in every advisory group and at a monthly meet- ing each one has the opportunity of speaking for his classmates concerning any school activity or problem. The representative has charge of distributing and keeping a record of the sale of S. A. cards in his bookg and also takes charge of voting in his own book. Alternates are elected to assist the representative or tal-re his place in case of absence. The representative is also connected with Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. class dues, and other activities. Then there are the monitors. of which there are quite a few dil't'erent types. Those students who voluntarily give their services are stationed in ofiices. halls, lunchrooms. study hall, inlirmaries. library. gyms. on stairways, at doors to guide visitors. and at every post in school where information might be needed or order maintained. There is an installation of all ofiicers every term under the supervision of Mrs. VVallaee. The ceremony is a very solemn one, during which the senate. court, house of rep- resentatives. and monitors take their oath of otticc. To Gratz this system of student government is a symbol of all that we stand for-lsrcedom with responsibility, and Democracy as a way of living. Twcntyfone .- M Hnrru Ih'1':m'Kl.r: S. .l.

HH Spotlight is Simon Gratz High School's bi-weekly journalistic offering. It is a four-page newspaper written hy and for the students. The Spotlight contains the news of the school week, a few interesting cuts and pictures, editorials, and many special features. All the classes are represented by the various editors, columnists, and reporters. Ilyman Mendukc. a 12A student. was the very able editor-in-chief this term. Among the 1215 members of the staff were Helen Bloom, motion picture criticg Ethel Berlin, dramatic critieq Doris Sacks, fashion editorq Sidney Rothstein, sports cditorg and Vvilliam Christie, sports editor. The faculty advisor of the Spotlight is Mr. Edgar VVilli:nns. who ably directs the staff. The business administration is under the supervision of Mr. Benjamin Kuykendall. Each book in the school has its own Spotlight representative whose duty it is to sell the paper. The aim of each representative is to put his advisory group in the dollar clubf' Every term the Spotlight publishes a literary supplement. Students in the school at large are encouraged to contribute to this section. The best works are published Zllld recognition is given to the authors. It can easily be seen that the Spotlight, a paper edited by the students of Simon Gratz High School, plays a vital part in the school life of each Gratzonian.

Although only a small part of thc school's population arc club mcmbcrs. sonic of thc most cnjoyablc and most valuablc activitics arc brought to thc rcst of thc studcnt-body by thc clubs.

Twe-ntyfeight Those genuises of electricity who haunt the auditorium, turning on the colored stage lights. switching things off and on-they're all members of Mr. Kinkler's Hlcctric Club. the president of which is R. Atkinson. The Stage Crew. under the direction of Mr. Price, is so often passed over with a brief word of thanks that in this mention of club activities. they are going to receive their just due. They are largely responsible for any production staged at Gratz High School. They and the Electric Club work tire- lessly, attend all rehearsals of all activities. and they cannot be praised too highly for their fine work. The Peace Club. under the direction of Miss Savin. and the liible Club. sponsored by Mr. Hamilton, are new in Gratz this term, but promise to be successful. In a world so alive with talk of war and peace. it is only fitting that we have a Peace C'lub. Hal Reinholt has the distinction of being the club's first president. as does Irwin Schweizerhof in the Bible Club. The activities of the clubs are not always confined to school meetings. Various clubs take part in extra-school activities. The Debate Club which is scheduled to debate with St. .loseph's in the near future. also took part in a radio contest sponsored by the League of Nations. Members participating were: Lester Josephs, Gabriel Berkovitz, and Ethel Berlin. Other c'lubs which help to proclaim the versatility of the Gratz students are: Fluh Sponsor Prmvirlcnf Commercial Club Miss Mulholland and David Lerman Mr. Street French Club Miss Bernstein Miriam Vvitkin Spanish Club Mrs. Cydell Mildred Grant 'l'hc students in Gratz are especially fortunate in having alive, interesting clubs and sponsors who work wholeheartedly to make them so. The clubs exist only because the students want them and the students want them only because they genuinely like them. The student who has gone through high school oblivious to the pleasures which can be derived from active participation in clubs has missed nmch. The value of the elubs as educational. pleasure-giving facilities. cannot be stressed too much. School life at Gratz without clubs would be sadly lacking, and we are sure that all members of the Class of 21-39 are sincerely thankful that they had the opportunity of partici- pating in so many worthwhile activities. Tuventyfnivie THE BIG BHUHDGHST UF 21-39 HIS is Dick Gable, your old man about town, speaking to you from the marquee of the Imperial Theatre. We have a grand and glorious crowd here tonight at the premiere of La Baruch's latest film, Royalty Abdicates, or Queenie I3oesn't Live Here Anymoref, This picture has been adapted from the hit by Ethel Berlin. Well, Broadway, we are honored by the presence of two very prominent ty- coons- .Ioe Miller, pencil eraser magnate, and Dave Starr, 32nd vice-president of the 63rd National Bank. Making a grand entrance is the Number One glamour girl of the year, Helen Bloom, escorted by her beau of the moment, playboy Phil London. And, here is science's man of the hour, Moe Weisberg, who just dis- covered a new planet in our heavens, which he has named Gratzonia after, guess what? There's some commotion going on here. Who are those people running around waving red flags and handing out circulars? Oh, I recognize Gladys Prinz, Henry Holtzman, and Harold Berg as agitating members of the musicians' union. That eccentric piano virtuoso, Sylvan Greene, walks in, ignoring them entirely. VVhat goes on here? Do I see Joe McCourt and Evelyn Brandt. originators of the new dance craze of the moment, named The Bulldog Wiggle in honor of their Alma Mater? Strolling leisurely into the lobby is that prominent lawyer, Harry Lieberman, whose lengthy orations on the test case of the state vs. George Garver, soap-box orator. have been boring two generations of jurors. Beth Paine and Dot', Liehner, two society buds are here, sans escorts. We could take care of them! Here comes that little bundle of energy, Gladys Lutto, who is now agitating reform. Hey, Ambellas, keep that photoflash out of my eyes, I can't see who's behind you. Oh.,it's Millie Dunn, with a portfolio of sketches under her arm. VVe'll he up tomorrow to see your exhibit, Miss Dunn. Who is this lovely vision? Ah, it is the perfect secretary, Ruth Korik, with Albert Parmalee, her meek little employer, in tow. Incidentally, folks, I think you ought to know the names that figure in the production of this picture. Jane Bickel is the style designer, Mark Heisler, direc- tor of settings, musical background by Bernie Smolensg and screen story adapted by Goldie Cohen. Here comes a crowd! The Association of American Scientists has just ad- journed and I see a few members are headed this way. There's Earl Steinberger, famous research chemistg the self-assured archeologist, Mildred Grant, that pro- fessor of mathematics, Miriam Gollubg and Eva Cohen, erudite member of the Bockemeller Institute. Two members of the elite, swathed in furs, have just entered- Bunny VVeis- brod and Rhoda Gorelick. Rhoda has attached to her arm the ever-present Sidney Spector. Do I see those two foolish funsters, Kahn and Ravitz? Stop, you're killing me, Stan! The film is about to begin, and I see two late-comers, Senators Buercklc and Copperman, who are in the thick of a congressional fight for a reform in government. Well, the Class of 21-39 has certainly made a thrilling showing tonight. The doors are closing and I must join the Class of 21-39 inside, so I'll have to sign off now. Good-night! Gonnm Com-:N, MIRIAM GOLLUB, PHIL LoNDoN. Thirty CLHSSES HE class is to the school as the conununity is to the nation. For the first two and a half years of high school, the class participates in school government and learns the broad prin- ciples of democracy. It is not until the last year and a half that the class creates its own organization-a democracy which exacts more personal responsibility from each member and which affects each individual more deeply. Thus, when the class graduates, it has not only that hroad theoretical understanding of democracy which makes for citizenship, but it has acquired an appreciation of the obligations which democracy places on the individual in his own community. f'ln.s's Sponsor IILHSS SPUIISUR To THE Mmmmzns or 'rim Cr.Ass ol-' 221-39: T GIVES me a great deal of pleasure to extend greetings to you through this, your own, ltecord Book.

Through the selection of this as your theme you have given to it the same high position in your own lives that it rightfully holds in the ideals of our Nation. I sincerely hope that your school life has given to you not only social experi- cncc and a hody of usable knowledge with which to begin the productive period of your lifc. lint that you have also made progress in thinking clearly without bias or prejudice. It needs no proof to establish that if we arrive at reasoned conclusions wc nccd not fear to examine the ideas of others and so assure tolerance and fair treatment to all.

IJVNCAN class UFFICEHS, U President JACK ULYN N Vice'-pre'si1I1'nt N OUR desire to make our class outstanding and our class activities worthwhile and successful, it is only natural that we constantly looked to our class officers for strong leadership. Dorothy Liehner, our popular president, kept the entire class organization functioning smoothly. Her good judgment in the selection of committee chairmen and thc way in which she supervised their work were strong factors in the success of our senior year. Vice-president Jack Glynn seliishly kept his talents from class politics until our last term. His quiet, friendly manner then won the willing co-operation of his fellow workers and the high esteem of the entire class. From the talented pen of our secretary, Rose Ellis, came class records that are models of preciseness and a class history worthy of 21-39. Orchids to Treasurer David Starr for his absolute dependability and unfailing good nature. For his faith- fulness to our class and its financial success, Dave has the heartfelt thanks of his classmates. The wonders of the GRATZONIAN are credited to our own Miriam Gollub. She made her assistants' Work pleasant and interesting and put forth her best jour- nalistic ability to make the GnA'rzoNxAN the pride of the class. In the years to come. 21-39 will never forget thc enthusiasm and willingness with which our oflicers lcd us on to a successful senior year.

Thirtyffwe - THE CLHSS ITH all the activities that we, the A class, had. nothing could have heen ac- complished without the labors of our capable connnittees. That gala event, our Prom. which we anticipated ever since our entrance into high school, was a lovely affair. The memory of it will never fade. The Prom Connnittee. under the leadership of Harry Lieberman, produced one of the most enjoyahle evenings in the life of 21-39. VV4- owe to our Banquet Committee. headed hy Hlizaheth Paine :md George Garver. the memories of an affair that thrilled the hearts of 21-39. The committee aranged those elaborate festivities held at Mc-Callister's which resulted in such a delightful evening. And do you rememher the dance we had around 'llll!illkSg'iVillgrftlltf Gohhle Hop? Praise to Mildred Wasman and her eonnnittee. Each committee memher is to he commended for his splendid piece of work. The Finance Committee. under David Starr's leadership. found their path full of ditlieulties. VVe appreciate the success with which they pulled us through our financial problems. The mcmhcrs of the Candy Stand Committee, with Loretta Mc-Closkey capahly leading them. helped us add those extra calories to our dict. hut of course we didn't mind--it helped till our treasury. To everyone of the committees and their leaders. 21-39 wishes to express its gratitude for helping our senior year to he a term we will never forget.

After passing a test which qualified him for the work, Morris followed the course during his 11B and 12A terms, and in his senior term, received an English Honors' Certificate. Under the guidance of the faculty sponsor of his choice, Mrs. Mar- garet Smith, he did research outside of regular school hours on the topic, History of the Development of Astronomy. The result was a work in two volumes com- pleted with great scholariness, covering the development of astronomy from primitive days to the present, and illustrated profusely with pictures and hand-drawn diagrams. For those who would find this work of interest, reference may be made to the thesis which is on file in the English Department Office at Simon Gratz High School. Eightyfning UIHHI I IUHHI UF LIFE AM not so foolhardy as to believe firmly that what I expect each morning of life to bring me is not directly proportional to what I am desirous of offering to it. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Reciprocity is nature's law. and I fear not that the polarity of life will fail me. I want revealed to me the satisfactions of vir- tue. the inner compensation of fidelity, hopefulncss. and self-control. I want to live life, to see the golden sun, the azure sky. I want always to hear the auroral chorus of birds. to smell the iield's fragrance, to touch the rose's petal, to taste the honey- comb. I want to be a spectator and a part of life's ever-changing panorama. I want to know that I am existing at such a point of time and in such a part of space that my world line can never again be traced by any one else. I want to recognize fame, honor genius, dream of immortality, contemplate the celestial orbs. refine my senses and spirit, to see art and hear music. I want life to be never too easyg I want myself never to be perfect, for then I would lose the pleasure of surmounting difliculties, and the joy of perfecting myself. I want to know the cutting lashes of hunger, the pangs of adversity, that urge one to intensive strivings and glorious attainments. I want my path steep and rough, and stout character gained by climbing over crags of hardships, and stumbling along labyrinths of disillusiomnent and discouragement. I want. failures and the lessons I may learn from them. I want disappointments that dispel cobwebs of the vision. I want all my imperfections, and the sharp delight that comes with essays towards perfection. I want beauty of the mind and the power that comes with riches of the spirit. I want fraternity and a few friends who understand me and love me for what I am. I want the cognizance of the divine idea, I represent. I want my work to have real value, without which the world would be the loser. I want moments of quiet. silent meditation when we touch the infinite. I want to feel the presence of the Omnipresent and once to be touched by the divine spark that blazes eternally in great souls. Most of all, when senility and infirmity come and I am still far from the sight of the castle of my reveries. I want to be thankful, and happy for the life I have lived and for the memories of the davs gone by. I want my evening's calm to find me quiet. still. waiting. and prepared. But if it is seen. lit that I be taken before then. I want to believe that death is a formi of life and that I am returning home whence I came. thankful for the enjoyment of this moment between the two blessed eternities. Monms WIEISBEHCP. Ninety UPPURTUHITIES ni UUH TIMES HHN first confronted with our futures, we young people often feel at a loss. Our high school educations have shown us the great, the really successful men of the past, and as we make studies of their powerful, often highly suc- cessful deeds, we ask ourselves whether there is any room for us. What is there in America that has not already been most efficiently accomplished? But after thinking it over you realize that in a growing nation like this, there is always an enormous wealth of opportunities and there always will be. We ask, how can we blaze a path? Where is there a wilderness? And we finally realize that there is still a very dense wilderness in practically every field. We are needed 011 the seas, on the land, in the air, in the industries, and in the church. In fact, the entire country is in dire need of honest, hard-working, patriotic begin- ners. It is our responsibility to answer that need. For while there is still cancer, plagues, floods, dust storms, and intense poverty, how can we say that everything has been done? This old world is far from being perfect. Our opportunities open out like a fan in every direction. We must combat the dust-swept areas of the west, the helpless bootleg coal towns of the east, and the squalid plight of the southern share croppers. These are not easy problems, nor are they pleasant, but to iight them would be so vital and thrilling. To tear down the reactionary, unfair, tired old methods of society and to erect strong, vigorous, optimistic ideas. To forget money for a while and bring back happy living-what can be more stimu- lating an ambition than that? This civilization has become too realistic. VVe have forgotten ideals. We think only of money. It is up to the youth of America to pledge themselves not to ever become smug and lead small, self-centered existences, for success does not only mean the gaining of material wealth as we have come to believe it. It means spiritual contentment as well. And we cannot feel content while there is such a vital need for leaders, agitators, reformers, citizens, and perhaps the most im- portant of all. clear-thinking followers who are willing to make real sacrifices for progress. YVhy, everything worth while in this nation has been destroyed by mass pro- duction, wars, materialism, depressions, recessions, floods, and tornadoes, as well as the excitement and the fast pace at which we live. Graft and corruption and intense poverty might also be added to this long list of things to be overcome. There is no field that does not need us in this entire nation. It is we, the youth of America, whose job it will be to hold up those high standards and American ideals. We must elevate the worker. Why can't he be cultured, too? We must broaden the views of the capitalists. We must be spreaders of lnnnane ideas! Why should a nation such as ours be so realistic, so crude? VVe must show them how to be idcalists for a while. There are a million opportunities today for sincere thinkers and doers and also for interpreters to record our deeds through the mediums of art. In America today there lies a challenge. Will our youth fight to untangle this mess society has gotten into? I do not mean that we should all be leaders. You are doing big things when you co-operate to push through big ideas. Rich or poor, economic slaves or master, the ideas and ideals for the progress of this country are universal. So why not try it the hard way now? Let no one say that there are no opportunities in our times for the youth of America! CLAIRE KAHN.

The Physical Education Department of Gratz High School provides the means for a universally recognized way to good health. Wfilh this provision, students are taught important character- huilding qualities. such as good sportsmanship, co-operation, and leadership. Certainly, these are good foundations upon which to huild our ideals of democracy. IIII IHE IIEIII III HlIIIIJII I. .-Ks wa- go inure-Iiing . . . 2. Yay. Grntzf . . . 3.

JOSEPH USER l'upIain PHILIP PAUL Jlnnuyrfr JOSEPH SNOFSKY HE 1938 sporting season found many Gratz teams with very impressive records, while others. due to lack of material or to injuries sustained bv the members. had little success. The soccer, basketball. baseball, and tennis aggregations finished high in thc league standings, due to good consistent team play. Coach Thornton's gridders. who improved immensely as the season progressed, garnered two victories in six league starts. Cross-country, track, swimming, and gymnastics were the sports in which the Cherry and VVhite clad youths did not fare so well. The soccerites, led by Captain Eddie Lorenc, finished in second position. one point behind Frankford. They scored the amazing total of thirty-seven points as against nine for their opponents. A formidable Gratz quintet. paced by Dean, Sawicki, and Lorcnc. stood in third place at the conclusion of the '37-'38 court campaign. The Bulldog nine enjoyed a very successful season, just being nosed out for the league leadership. Captain Duke Joseph. Jerry Dean. Johnny', Fitzpatrick. and Joe Jennings were some of the stalwarts who performed on the on the diamond. The proteges of Coach Oser played bang-up tennis all spring. but lost one match to VVest Philadelphia. Paul, VVeiner, Handel. and Bodinger performed notably on the clay court. Although the Simon Gratz eleven ended their season in the seventh notch. they were a well-drilled group who played better football each game. Schoepf, Peters. Ncwkirk. Bernardini, and Guglielmi were the mainstays on the forward wall. and Hassis and Salvato shone in the backHeld. All of the teams more than held high the tradition of past Gratz teams, who were noted for their fighting spirit and good sportsmanship.

A point system has been established by the Girls' Athletic Association whereby points may be earned toward letters aI1d numerals. After a successful season of an activity, a girl receives five points. With this as a start, girls continue working until they have earned thirty points which entitles them to their numerals. Added endeavor will bring the letters, S, G. to anyone who has earned sixty points. Through a great deal of hard work, and time, and effort, some girls even earn as many as ninety points, and they are then given the most coveted award of a large G , symbol of the highest honor of the Girls' Athletic Association.
