Its title is Simon Gratz. But what oi the next chapter? Its first pages we know. are filled with war,-war, death and destruction. but further on there is peace.-peace and a better world. It is ours only if we earn it. work for it, and if necessary die for it. Some who were to be with us today have already answered our country's call. We will fol- low. It is to ourselves. therefore. that we wish to dedicate this book-We Who Will Serve. XX 77 School Some people had a dream once,-long ago. Not a dream of riches and fame, but a dream of a school:-a place within which those who seek knowledge and truth could find it. Those pioneers of education probably never imagined to what enormous extents their dreams would be realized. They could not live to see the schools of today rising magnificently against the skies. Schools with not only the minimum requirements of teachers and classrooms, but with countless other facilities and workers. striving to produce an educated citizenry. Simon Gratz High School is only one of these schools, but it is our school, and we cannot help feeling that somehow it is the goal of those first educators. Simon Gratz-with a heart of learning that will live when all around her has crumbled into dust. Simon Gratz - our school. our friend. Who could have known so long ago that the schools of today would be producing the defenders of democracy? Who could have visualized the graduates of today going forth to serve their country in time of war? Who had that foresight- that understanding? We cannot say. We do not know for sure, but whoever they were: wherever they may be today, we are sure that they must be smiling and well satisfied with the fruits of their labors- with Simon Gratz High School. sw . . . . ,n.,--mf.-,: .

The magnificent Gothic edifice certainly imparts this feeling. We are justly proud of its majesty, its picture will remain with us always. The faculty members of our great school have offered much more than the minimum essentials. They have given us friendship and guidance for three very constructive years. Gratz has a personality that will be a vital influence in the lives we are to build. We have real reason to be proud as Gratz has led the country in many diversified fields. lts art work is famous and the dra- matics, which unfortunately have been cur- tailed for the duration, were also note- worthy. ln music, too, we have been lead- ers. The first year of basketball competition we won the coveted trophy and we have had a championship tennis team for several sea- sons. Our Students' Association is built on faith in the rule of the people and is a reaffirma- tion of the democratic process and way of life. Though enrollment has increased from 2800 to 4800, development and achievement have kept pace. Plans have been geared to meet the requirements of a world at war. The Industrial Department has expanded to meet the new demands, while the regular curriculum has been revamped with war electives. Miss McCleary heads the War Council: Dr. Howarth is an inspiration to the Victory Corps. Everyone is giving his time and energy to make this the greatest chapter in Gratz history. The job of winning this war against those who seek to destroy democ- racy is the most tremendous one we have ever faced. Having learned to work together, We who will serve go out as one to meet the challenge! f .I . 'M L. 1 1. A - -1-.rr - kai:-eil. .' -ff.--I-it. ,.:, LLL!!- ir x fn.. -ia-1. ...-- .1 DR. E. CARL WERNER. Principal 0UR PRINCIPAL To the Class of Iune, 1943: I congratulate you upon the completion of your studies and your graduation from high school. ln doing so I realize fully the contribution which you have made to the school's war effort and the problems and difficulties which you have had to meet. You have taken a prominent part in the many War activities of the Students' Association. You have been leaders in the organization, and develop- ment of the schools Victory Corps. Your class will be the fourth to leave Simon Gratz High School since American involve- ment in the War. The conversion of the school to a War basis has resulted neces- sarily in many changes and additions to our program of studies. The new pre-induction classes and War electives have helped to prepare you for the duties which await you. I have every confidence that you will meet all of them successfully. To all of you I extend my earnest Wishes for your welfare and happiness. Sincerely yours, gf dmv At the close of last term the Victory Corps was introduced into the High Schools throughout the country. ln Gratz the task of directing this organization was placed in the capable hands of Dr. Walter E. Howarth, one of our assistant principals. Under his supervision the Corps grew, and separate divisions were formed such as: Air, Land, Sea, Community, and Production. Special courses were offered to the members of the Victory Corps, and a Farm Program, to help the farmers in nearby counties harvest their crops, materialized under his able direction. The Victory Corps offered us our first real opportunity to serve, and, we, the Senior Class, wish to thank Dr. Howarth for his devoted leadership and for his inspiration ASSISTANTS in this project. Miss lane McCleary, the other assistant principal, is in charge of Student Personnel. She is ever ready to listen to our problems, and to willingly give us the benefit of her wide experience, in helping to solve the problems which arose in the three years we spent at Simon Gratz. In our education for service one of the things that has been stressed is the impor- tance of promptness in all activities. Miss McCleary has helped us immensely along these lines in her work connected with the late room. We wish to sincerely thank Miss McCleary for her guidance which has successfully piloted us through our High School years. Dr. Walter E.

We could speak of no more important contribution to the school than that of this staff. We, who hope to serve our country as successfully as they have served our school, Wish to thank them for a well-planned stay at Gratz. Mr. Iohn W. Wieder Back-front-Miss Elsie M. Hieman, Miss Mary Elirey. Many of our perplexing problems which arise during our stay at Gratz, were solved by the members of the Guidance Qffice. The Class of 30-43 wishes to express its sincere thanks to the understanding members of this staff who have so successfully guided us through our trials and tribulations. Miss Bessie Bernstein. Miss Mabel A. Meng Class of 1943 Stop here awhile and turn the pages of your memory back three years. Remember when we first wandered into the Simon Gratz auditorium on that bright September moming in 1940? We were one thousand strong then,-but strangers-not only to the school, but to each other. Perhaps you can remember how you felt or what you said. That was three years ago. It doesn't seem that long, but now those casual acquaintances have been welded into fast friendships, and Gratz is no longer iust a school, a hollow shell of marble and granite,- but a friend, one we will miss deeply. As. you skim through these pages, can you see the little margin notes like: Pearl Harbor, Gratz swings into the war effort, Victory Corps members sworn in, Pre- induction courses begin, andthe ones that mark the departures of mem- bers of the class who left to ioin the armed forces? They are the mile- stones on our path to graduation:-milestones marking our oppor- tunities to unite more firmly in the war effort,-the milestones that show the stages of our preparation for service. Today there are not so many of us, but those of us who remain have learned the secret of cooperation, of working, learning, and playing together. We are new ready to do our part in this struggle for freedom. Thus it is that we go forth to serve our country in time of her distress, and pause for iust awhile to write a final margin note on these pages that read: 3U-43 goes forth to serve. H, .,,,,,- .

Treasurer F08 SERVICE T0 THE CLASS At long last we're seniors! Now that we've finally attained the pinnacle of our senior high scholastic careers, whom shall we choose as our leaders? Over here we find our President of the class of 30-43, Victor Katzer. An excellent leader, Victor would like to go on to college to study accounting. However, he expects to join the Army Air Corps. Next we meet Beatrice Meshon, whom most of us know because she was 12A Vice- President. She also wants to go to college so she can help us file our income tax re- lturns in 1950. We mustn't forget to introduce Mildred Rosenberg, class amanuensis. She's had 23 plenty of experience in this field since she was secretary in the B term. Millie's am- bition is to be a private secretary, in typical Rosalind Russell fashion. Last, but far from least, we come to the keeper of the gold. You all know whom we mean f-- our class treasurer, Blanche Wanczycki. This charming financier hopes to enter college also and emerge as a medi- cal technician. Whether or not their aspirations will be fulfilled remains to be seen, but whatever their future undertakings may be, we all take our hats off to our four officers and wish them the best of luck in everything.

Remember when we first entered her dear old marble corridors way back in IOA? Re- member how impressed we were by the glory and the splendor that is Gratz? the judges, we had a very eventful term. Remember the picnic at Harpers Meadows, where there were stepping stones across the creek, and lots of good food to eat? This term also marked the inauguration of the Class Day skit. Rhoda Lipschutz dis- played her powers as a playwright by whip- Q gf? ln order to feel that we were part of the school, we sent Dollye'Segal to the Senate. ln lOB we elected Ruthe Skeets Berman as senator, and both girls filled the bill nicely. We had now climbed our first two steps on the ladder of success, and were approach- ing the third rung. It was in this 1lA term that Mildred Rosenberg and Ray Schrai- shuhn first entered the limelight as senators. CThat was the term that My Maryland was produced, with a great many members of our class in the cast.l The next rung was marked llB, and our activities started. Under the leadership of Melvin Gold and Estelle Malerman, our sen- ators, Myra Kessler and Ray Schraishuhn, ping up a hilarious play just in time to save the day. Slowly but surely we made our way to the next rung on our ladder, and prestol-we were in l2A. Upon the platform Estelle Malerman and Henry Pulver were serving as VicePresi- dents of the Students' Association. Marjorie Taws and Norman Oshtry were Senators and Melvin Gold and lean Amsterdam were judges. Due to inadequate transportation facilities we had no Washington trip. Under the guidance of our l2A Class offi- cers, Herman Mattleman, President, Beatrice Meshon, Vice-President, Mildred Rosenberg, Secretary, and john Pollock, Treasurer, we ii? if Sir had the Holiday Hop, with music by the Dolomites, and dancing by all. Ah! At last, the top of the ladder! We're i2B's-seniors! Oh happy day! Estelle Malerman was S. A. Prexy, and Melvin Gold, Chief Iustice. Marjorie Taws and Bay Schraishuhn were judges and Arthur Miller and Shirlee Soll, Senators. Norman Cshtry and Myra Kessler headed the Six Footers and Five Foot Femmes respec- tively. The officers of the graduating class were Victor Katzer, Beatrice Meshon, Millie Rosen- berg and Blanche Wanczycki in the usual order. All in all we had or fine set of leaders. The Dance Committee put forth its best ef- forts this term and the result was the Sham- rock Shindigf' one of the best dances the school has ever had. dw, if? A S An improvement on the Shindig was made only by the same class in collabora- tion with the 12A's at the Prom. On May 7th, at the Bitz Carlton, everyone appeared, looking as though he had just stepped from the pages of Vogue and Esquire, danced the night away and enjoyed themselves immensely. As the term drew to a close, nostalgia filled our hearts, for in a few weeks we would graduate. Before that event, however, we had a ban- quet, at which all the honors and scholar- ships were distributed. lncidentally, we ate, and ate, and ate. What food-what a night! Then at last, Commencement with its regal solemnity. And a last goodbye to Simon Gratz where we were prepared to go forth and serve. 29 SIIIIRE LEAVE Setting-The ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Time+9:OU P. M. A beautiful evening! May 7, l943. Characters-The members of the l2B, l2A classes and their dates. Action4The senior prom of the Simon Gratz High School. Soft light and soothing music, staccattoed with jive numbers, created by Clarence Fuhrman and his famous orchestra, conjured the atmosphere for the senior prom. The splendid ballroom was decorated by lryin Levy with cherry and white banners pro- claiming to all that the evening was ours. Remember how wonderful everyone looked? lt was hard to recognize the girls we were used to seeing in Huaraches and sports clothes, and the boys, familiar only in sweat shirts and sweaters, when they appeared like butterflies coming out of their cocoons to hold their partners spellbound. Realizing that this was to loe the last prom for the duration, the l2B's gladly shared the evening with the l2A's, making it the more the merrier. Blinding flashes of light from the cameras of Lukoff, Bell, and Mr. Hagmann, reminded one of the gala affairs in Hollywood which are permanently recorded by the camera's eye. The pictures will prove to all of us that this Wonderful evening did not just take place in a dream. All of our favorite teachers were present: the Strouses, Mr. Goldman, Mr. Hood, Miss Rieman, and Mrs. Wallace Cwho was for- merly with usl, along with many others. Be- tween dancing to the lovely music, and chat- ting to friends, many a partner was proudly introduced to the faculty members. All good things must come to an end, and the prom gradually faded into a memory as all the candidates for Esquire and Vogue drifted off to add the finishing touches to a perfect evening. A l'EOMEN Mr. Martin Sklar Sponsor Literary Sicfi Personals Sta!! Dcris Iecxnne Feather. Editor-in-Chief Typisis 07 THE GRATZUNIAN Almost every day after classes had been dismissed, the Record Book staff met, and unselfishly gave their time and effort toward the creation of a successful senior Record Book. Under the able guidance of Mr. Martin Sklar, Miss Clara Herrmann, Mr. Robert Goldman and Miss Elsie Rieman, the Liter- ary, Personals, Art and Business and typing staffs all worked together, with the idea of making our class book the best that had ever been produced by members of the Simon Gratz High School. The individual write-ups had to be written after interviews with each student, and all written material had to be typewritten, and arranged into perfect condition, in order to be printed in true Gratz style. Through all these combined efforts, we have the product -an outstanding Record Book. To Doris Feather, editor-in-chief, the staff that served under her very able leadership, to the personals, art, typing and business staffs, and to the members of the faculty who aided in the publication of the 30-43 Record Book, we offer our most sincere thanks!

JOHN FARBOTNIK 193 S Cayuga Street John's main interest thus far is to lead a happy and healthy life. In his sparc time, weight lifting is his most skilled hobby and the results can be clearly seen by his healthy muscular build. At the rate he is going, there's no doubt that his ambition for physical perfection will be short reached. Around Gratz he makes manv friends easily because of his amiable disposition.

Iohnson 80 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Today we leave not only Gratz, But many things to you, dear folks: Like bells that never ring on time, And teachers' fifty-year-old jokes At which you must laugh most politely, As well as do your homework nightly. We leave the right to sleep in class, Which you won't use tif you would pass? But we got by somehow it seems, So go ahead, enjoy your dreams. And we'll be extra good to you And leave an 8:10 class or two, And gym four periods a Week 'Til you're so tired you want to shriek: But do good work in there, my fran, And soon you'll be a superman. We leave the clocks too fast or slow- That's when and if they ever go. And a super deluxe comfy seat Too small for both you and your feet, Plus endless steps which you must climb, And still arrive in class on time. We give the latest lunch to you, To starve just like we used to do, And even if the food were fine, There's nothing left on which to dine. 'lust put this aspirin safe away, For when your tests come all one day, 'Cause somehow it's arranged by fate To happen when you have a date. We give this little gun to you, For use when units all come due, Of course it's up to you to choose, Iust on whom it, you will use. We leave the rooms too cold or hot, To freeze or roast will be your lot, And fresh-air fiends who open wide The Windows, 'cause it's warm inside, Or stuffy -while they wear their coats- They already have our goats. We leave the towel racks, always bare, And all the soap that's never there. But please don't get us wrong, my friend, We love the school.-This is the end. 81 SENIIIB SNAPS Activities If our ancestors who went to school to leam reading, writing, and arithmetic alone, could see our present school system, they would be amazed. School is no longer iust a place in which to acquire knowl- edge, but one where a great part of our social lite evolves. Now when we graduate and reminisce about the good old school days, we won't be saying only.- That sure was a corker of an Algebra test we had in 194l, or. Did you ilunk that Physics test in l943? We'1l be able to say, Remember the 11B Class picnic?-the Prom? Remem- ber Class day? Remember the time we . . . ? and so on. Our three years oi high school spent at Gratz have been filled with endless activities, ones in which we enioyed to participate, and ones which we shall enioy reliving in our day-dreams sometime in years to come. We are certainly glad that someone realized the truth of the saying, All work and no play makes lack a dull boy, and introduced social activities in our school lite. This system has made us better Americans because it has taught us to combine work and play: consequently learning to work and play harder. it has developed our characters and helped to prepare us to do our part in this struggle to preserve, among other things, our system ot education for life.

A. Office and speak to the organization's charming sponsor, Mrs. Strouse, you suddenly realize how very much this organization and our entire school is serving our country at War. Every officer, from the bottom up, is helping. Perhaps the volunteer lunchroom monitors are doing the best job of all. lt isn't always the biggest task that is the most helpful, Mrs. Strouse emphasized. Each and every one is serv- ing in his way, in the best adapted to his particular talents. Mrs. Strouse pointed out that by under- standing and participating in the organiza- tion of our school government, which is pat- terned after our national government with the same system of checks and balances, MRS. BERNADETTE STROUSE Sponsor we are better able to take our rightful place in the community and vote more intelligently. We learn by doing, thus by learning the attributes of a good citizen in the high school republic we can then go out and apply these same characteristics to our national govern- ment. The picture is similar, but much more varied and wider in scope. Mrs. Strouse has always tried to bring out the latent qualities of leadership in all those students she has come in contact with and has succeeded Wonderfully. Therefore this preliminary experience and participation is a preparation for that part of our lives that is yet to come. For this tremendous opportunity, offered by Mrs. Strouse and our school, We will be everlast- ingly grateful. DORIS IEANNE FEATHER ESTELLE MALERMAN Editor-in-Chief of Grutzonian President oi Students Association 12B REPRESENTATIVES 87 it During our stay here at Gratz, each of us has had the opportunity to serve as a mem- ber of the Students' Association. Some indi- viduals desired to participate in the actual governing of our school organization. These students were usually outstanding academi- cally and well liked by both teachers and students. As a result of their abilities they could understand and interpret school prob- lems. A real leader was chosen from this group during our senior term who proved to be well adapted for the responsibilities. Estelle Malerman's personality was Well known, she developed an efficient organiza- tion Which established one of the finest ad- ministrations We have ever had at Gratz. Estelle headed the senate and with the help The Law Makers: Ioyce Lewis, Douglas Keltz. Vice-Pre idents: Estelle Sll0IlE of our capable 12B senators, Shirlee Soll and Arthur Miller, succeeded immeasurably in advancing the interest, spirit and morale of the students. Sharing the responsibility of legislation for the school Were Ioyce Lewis and Douglas Keltz, the vice-presidents, who presided over the House of Representatives. From this experience in self-government Gratz has always produced a student body Well acquainted with the principles of good citizenship, and one ready to assume its role in the adult world. Thus it may be said that the S. A. has fulfilled its purpose in familiarizing us, with the duties and respon- sibilities connected with running a good democratic government. Malerman. President: Shirlee Soll, Arthur Miller. 12B Senators. v w 88 PATll0L As an advancement in better school or- ganization, we have the judiciary body of the Students' Association. The Court's func- tion is to assist pupils who are doubtful about correct school behavior. When a stu- dent commits a misdemeanor against the School Code he is summoned to appear be- fore this body. The group consists of unprej- udiced, open-minded students who are will- ing to devote time and effort to the attain- ment of high moral conduct around the school. Chief Iustice Melvin Gold, assisted by his Associate ludges Marjorie Taws and Rail Schraishuhn, held these positions dur- ing our last semester and were recognized for being true Gratzonians. The Court in- 'iff augurated a campaign, last season, against the Litterbug, a minute Gremlin who scat- tered paper around the school. Their slo- gan Was Don't be a 'Litterbugf It was effectively carried out for a great improve- ment was seen in the appearance of the halls and rooms. The Five Foot Femmes and The Six Footers are organizations established when the school was young, to augment the Court. The two groups led by Myra Kessler and Norman Oshtry, patroled the school, super- vising all activities. To them we owe much for serving as capable people who guided and counselled us during our stay at Gratz. The Long Arm of the Law: Melvin Gold. Chief Iustice SPUTLIGIIT SPOTLIGHT STUDENT PUBLICATION Bringing into focus all the activi- ties and news around the school has been the function of the Simon Gratz Spotlight, the student's newspaper. Since 1926, when it was founded, Mr. Williams has been the capable sponsor of the paper, always striv- ing to develop any journalistic abil- I. L' ity in the encouraging ers. As the light have was able to students and untiringly the enthusiastic report- standards of the Spot- always been high, it capture high honors at the recent Columbia University Con- vention.

THE SPOTLIGHT Published by the Students of SIMON GRATZ HIGH SCHOOOL l7th G Luzerne Sts., Philadelphia Our Aim: To Record the Life and to Reflect the Spirit of the School Literary Stuff Business Staff U0 Since our band was issued its new uni- forms of cherry and white all four school functions have been injected with color as well as excellent music. Sponsored by Dr. Alec Washco and managed by lay Con- nelly our band has outranked all others in the city for intricate formation and inspir- ing music. Their duties include playing at athletic events, school assemblies and pro- grams in addition to donating their services to outside organizations. Recently they have attended flag raisings, the Inauguration of the Victory Corps, and led the Navy Day Parade. We take a great deal of pleasure and pride in our band for so nobly assisting in such great extra-curricular activities and for all it has done for Gratz.

The schools have answered the plea of our government for a hale America by inaugurating a strenuous program designed to make us all physically fit. However, long before this present program was begun, Simon Gratz High School was doing its part to develop team work and co- operation, as well as strength, among her student body through sports. Each season brought us a new field for competition. Team work was the keynote practiced on the gridiron, soccer field, baseball diamond, basketball court, and in the swimming pool. We boys and girls who played together, learned that one individual alone can not win the game, but that it takes- an entire team working as a unit with perfect coordination to win a victory. ln doing this we have prepared our- selves for the most vital competition in our lives-for the most important game in which we shall ever participate: a game in which we shall and must use all the teamwork and cooperation that we have devel- oped through our experiences in the line of sports. We must not lose this final match, we cannot even afford to end in a draw. Ours must be the complete victory, for freedom is our goal-ours is the will to win! , 1... f--- -'- ,.

Xxx, QJZS S Q6 V -Z Here they are, the Bulldog ninel We were very proud of our baseball team. They didn't Win every game, it's true, but in every game they played, they were out there fight- ing till the last man was out. The team, coached by Mr. William Clausen, of our Physical Education Department, put in many hours of practice after school every day. Many times the boys got home too late for their supper but not a complaint was heard. CThe team started off very well before the league games got under Way but hit a snag with the openerj The only thing that kept the nine from giving a championship bid was the faulty fielding which improved greatly as the team went on. Our pitching staff was one of the best with Dick BASEBALL Koecher, Rudy De Palma, Charlie Pistilli, and Vic Katzer doing the hurling. At bat the boys were led by the hard-hitting Iimmy Myers, Goose Guzek, and Buddy Cooper. One of our best games was played against Central when Dick Koecher pitched a nice one-hitter to give Gratz a hard-earned victory by the close score of l-O. There aren't too many seniors on the team and most of the boys will be back next year, so our future looks bright. Mr. Clausen was very proud of his baseball team and had nothing but Words of praise for everyone. lt Will be a long time before we forget the gal- lant exploits of these fighting boys and their never-say-die spirit.

Coach Tierney TRACK Because oi the acceleration brought about in our sports program by the war, Gratz has reorganized a track team. Mr. Tierney tried for the second year in a row to get the lower grade boys to come out, and he succeeded in persuading thirty-eight applicants to try for positions on the Penn Relay team. Led by Lloyd Masterson, one of the best trackmen produced by Gratz, we made a better showing than was expected. This was the result of nearly two months oi really in- tensive practicing. The team that competed in the Penn Relays consisted oi Capt. Lloyd Masterson, Gilbert Ridgely, lames Kelsh, Al- vin Hornstein, and Arnold Philips as substi- tute. The team made a poor showing but didn't come in last as they defeated West Phila. The meet was won by Olney, who upset Central, the previous title holders. With the whole team consisting oi under- graduates we see no reason why G-ratz shouldn't come up in the track world. The boys have really tried and if they show the same spirit next term, Gratz should be among the favorites to win. Lipton, Couch I. Oser, Motter, A. Oser, Handel, Lerner, Regan Our hats are off to our victorious tennis team, Public High champs for the fourth straight year. Coming through in grand style they overwhelmed every opponent and brought honor to our school by winning the lnterscholastic Championship of Philadel- phia. All the more credit should be given when it is realized this is the first time this feat has been accomplished by the Oser- men. Paced by Sammy Handel, our boys just couldn't be stopped. Playing with all the skill and force for which he is renowned, Sammy literally tore his opponents apart. Winning every match but one, he now has a record of being undefeated for two straight years. Sammy's going to be around next year and all we can say is that we wouldn't want to be on the other side of the net. Our second man was Captain Bernie Lerner. Playing in top-notch style, he went through the season undefeated, too. Bernie is really a sterling player and could be de- TENNIS pended on to give a tough fight. Yes, sir, Gratz is certainly going to miss its captain. Added laurels must be given to Alan Oser, our third man, who also came through unde- feated. The caption of the most improved player must be given to Bill Began who came through in grand style. Something new has been added to this year's champs, we had a victorious doubles team composed of Don Miller and Norman Lystom. Of course congratulations must be extended to the proud coach, Mr. Ioseph Oser, for the excellent showing of his team. With only Lerner graduating we see no reason why next year's comrnunique won't read: Fifth season, same results. Tennis Results Gratz 5 . .............,...,....,, Northeast U Gratz 3 ..... .,....

The team played a few exhibition games and Won them in great style, but just didn't live up to pre-season form in the league games. The Bulldogs were hampered no end by the loss of key players. ln De- cember the team consisted of Koecher, Myers, Solan, Buttly, and Iarnes, but by the time February rolled around only Dick and Myers were left. The first season game was with LaSalle, whom we defeated. Polowczuk was the star as he consistently came through with two- spotters when they were needed. The Bull- dogs then conquered Dobbins. For our first league encounter we played the champs of last season and the future champs of the league. Our boys put up a tough fight and only lost by two goals. This proved to be the last game for Smoky Solan as he dra- matically donned the Navy blue that very day. If he plays for Uncle Sam as he did for Gratz, the Navy will have one more son to be proud of. The season gloomily continued as our boys lost to teams they should have beaten. A win over Frankford was sandwiched be- tween two defeats. Koecher, Buttly, and the team in general played excellent ball but they just didn't seem to click. With the midterm graduation, Gratz lost dependable Buttly and Paul tgiant handsl Iarnes. The second half of the season was much better as the Bulldogs registered de- feats over their arch rivals Northeast and Olney. Skolnick, Roland, and Sceanor were added to the line-up. But an exciting game was lost to Central in the last few seconds of play. The fine work of Koecher was given due recognition when he was voted second team center in the Public High League.

Playing a championship brand of ball, the l942 edition of Gratz's soccer representatives only ended up in second place. Being the runner-up for the last three years, the Bull- dogs just lacked that extra something which would have crowned them champs. Playing in top-notch style, the Bulldogs won their first six games without giving up a point. In those half a dozen games Gratz scored 25 goals, a lot of points, as any soc- cer fan will testify. Gratz then played Girard College and lost a heart-breaker, l-O. Gratz's next opponent was Northeast High. Now imagine this situation, undefeated Cin league competitionb, untied and unscored upon, Gratz was playing the defending champions. In a thrilling seesaw contest, Northeast came through in a thrilling bat- tle. Gratz and Frankford tied in the last con- test of the season. Leading scorer of the bulldogs and of the city was Captain Buttly Polowczuk, center forward, who played for his alma mater for three seasons. His superb playing can't be over praised and his loss will leave a va- cancy which will be hard to fill. Polowczuk. S. Cwiklu, Solcm. Prior, Kohl Couch Schweitzer SOCCEll Three-letter man Smoky Solan, center half, is another sterling player. Solan, who captured the '42 edition, is regarded as one of the best defensive players in the city. The rest of the team is also deserving of praise, and since they are lower classmen, assure Gratz of another winning team. With a little bit of luck and the usual competent playing of the Bulldogs we should see a soc- cer championship for Gratz next year. SOCCER RESULTS Gratz 3 ...,.,.... ...........

Wliat should have been victories over Southern, Central and Overbrook were turned into dis- rnal defeats as Old Man Hard Luck kept his eye on us. The one bright spot in the season was when Nick Ouatrini in Frank Merriwell fashion raced through the Boxborough line and calmly stopped a beautiful double re- verse by snatching the ball and raced down to pay dirt. The Bulldogs soon capitalized on this break. Other high spots of the sea- son Were the Pistilli to Bailey scoring com- bination, the versatility of Iimmy Myers who played the backtield like a veteran and the pass catching of Izzy Skolnick. ln the backtield Charley Pistilli starred. Coach Clausen His passing and kicking reached superb heights in the Southern and Overbrook games. Our sterling end George Bailey coin- pleted a brilliant career. Versatile jimmy Myers, although he was continually being injured, just Wouldn't quit and finished the season in a blaze ot glory. These three would have been on the All Public High selection if injuries and a poor season hadn't tainted their excellent playing ability. Vince Mclntyre, lzzy Skolnick, Tom Hanni- gan, Iohn Farbotnick and Al Ferbrizio played their hearts out but just didn't have a strong enough line. We're sure that with a little more reserves and lick coach Clausen would have brought home the bacon. Here's hoping that some day the tables will turn and this column will say All Vic- torious, Gratz Season, Marred by One De- feat. GIRLS SPIIBTS Baseball, basketball, volleyball, swim- ming, tennis, and ping-pong are the sports which have been most popular with the senior girls, although other activities have also been engaged in by the cherry and white athletes. Ever since our start in IOA, we have been learning to work and play together until we have made the success of these various teams possible. One group of girls has been particularly active in all the sports from the very begin- ning of our career in Simon Gratz, which began in September, l940, to our graduation in Iune, l943. For three whole years they have been seen haunting the sites of various sporting activities until their faces have be- come well known as belonging to Gratz's best girl athletes. They are Betty Weand, lean King, Antoinette Di Stefano, Nellie Rey- nolds, Florence Hopkins, Iune Walters, No- rine Shafer, and Renee Carol. There are others, too, who, while they have been less prominent, have been taking part in our sports. Hats off to all of these girls who have set the standard for a hale and hearty Gratz student body. Miss Murr was once again in charge of the swimming club which met at the Ger- mantown Y weekly. Under her able lead- ership, beginners and intermediates were taught just how the fish do it, while the more advanced swimmers were taught the tech- nique of lifesaving, which is more important now than ever before. The outstanding swimmer of this group is Mary Cant, whose sister, Doris, graduated from this school a few terms ago with high swimming honors. Mary has taken part in our swimming meets, and we are all expecting big things of her. A sport which always draws a large turn- out is basketball ln our senior year Miss Bowen sponsored our team. During our three years here, we played the teams from Dobbins Vocational School every year, meeting with a great deal of success. This year for the first time we played Girls' High and defeated them on their own school grounds. We hope that those girls remaining in Gratz for awhile yet, and those who will come, will carry on with their teams to even greater victories than we have had thus far. The senior teams were composed of Betty Weand, Florence Hopkins, and Renee Carol, playing forward: lean King, Antoinette Di Stefano, and Margaret Dorsey, playing the positions of guards, and Iune Walters, Nellie Reynolds, and Norine Shafer. Baseball is probably the most popular of all the girls' sports. Each spring we have a large turnout of all the girl sluggers who be- lieve that they are qualified to play with 'iff 'fir 'iff the Phils or A's. Of course they would pull the home teams out of the cellar if they only had a chance. As yet, however, no scouts have appeared in our triangle to approach these female Babe Buths, much to our sor- row and their loss. ln preceding years, we have played without mitts, but this season the tradition has been broken and the girls, if they wish, may wear baseball gloves like the regulars. Those girls who have come out for base- ball are Billie Harper, Iune Walter, Nellie Reynolds, Antoinette Di Stefano, lean King, Doris Burwell, Margaret Dorsey, Norine Shafer, Hazel Armstrong, Florence Hopkins, and Renee Carol. Dobbins vocational school again has been our traditional rival, and we have twice de- feated them in the two previous years, show- ing them that Simon Gratz has a really alle round group of girls. The twelfth graders hold the distinction 101 12B Girls Gym Leaders ot being the best volleyball players in the school, says Mrs. Green, sponsor ot this activity. Enthusiasm for this sport was greatly increased due to the tact that we scheduled games with outside schools as we had done in other sports. We played Olney and Girls' High in our last season. Not only did every one participate in and enjoy the interclass competition, but watched with great inter- est our teams in action. Three ping-pong tables were moved into the gym one morning, followed shortly by the organization ot a ping-pong club, spon- sored by Mrs. Fitzgerald. A doubles tourna- ment was started, and the winners, after a furious battle, were Nellie Reynolds, Renee Carol, Betty Weand, and Roslyn Epstein. A singles tournament was also played, and when the smoke cleared away, Nellie Rey- nolds was the girls' ping-pong champion. Tennis makes its annual debut in the spring, and again this year the girls played at the Hunting Park courts, where the good 2 players were kept busy improving their form and instructing the beginners. Last year we played Olney High, and amongst our own girls the laurels went to lean King as tennis champion. Last year the Girls' Iunior and Senior Ath- letic Council combined into the present Girls' Athletic Council. The otticers are Renee Carol, President, and Antoinette Di Stefano, Secretary. The members of the council are Hazel Armstrong, Dorothy Napier, Nellie Reynolds, Iune Walters, Florence Hopkins, Luella Reber, Betty Weand, Isobel Mamil, and Vivian Williams. lt was suggested that the girls in the Athletic Association have pins to show that they belong to the organization, When the present seniors graduate, their pins will be handed down to the students who will till their places, along with the best of luck and hope that they will carry on to give Gratz even greater glory in the line of sports. wif x,' 2 mp X34 -1 .gif ew ...QA P ' Us-f Swv if 'ff lV W L A w '11 mf iv K A' l' 1 J . .
