IAN UNE 194 HIGH SCll00L PENNSYLVANIA DEDICATIO For thousands of years an idea has been growing. The ancient people of Greece understood it and nourished it, but the weeds of war and disunity hid the ideal from their sight. It lay donnant through the centuries of war, civil strife and revolution that changed the ways of man from decade to decade. But with the discovery of a new continent the idea was transported across the sea by freedom-loving people. Here it found a soil in which it could grow and prosper. The age-old hope of democracy has been realized in Amer- ica, but only through education, For both democracy and edu- cation stem from the same root. Democracy is the system of freedom and equal rights for all. Education is the language of all people, though they speak different tongues, go to different churches or have different characteristics. Thus has a mighty bulwark been thrown up about us from within, a bulwark which can only be breached by ignorance, greed and petty hates. The American people recognize these dangers and have put their trust in Education, the bulwark of democracy. 4 . f 5 T IIE PIIBT Our school has stood as a guiding beacon on our path of life. We have learned. too. the meaning of work, and in future years we will reap the reward of all our efforts. We have been taught the principles of democracy that we in turn must prove to the rest of the world. The war has placed greater emphasis on good health and on essential facts, knowledge, and skills. It has made new and different demands which the schools are striving to meet. Upon our schools have been placed the responsibilities of teaching us the essentials of Democracy. Now it is necessary for us to use this education as a bulwark of Democracy. We must put into effect the knowledge that we have gained here so that we can show the rest of the world the value of freedom and a Democratic government for all. 0PE 6 Q ARCHIVES OF YESTERYEAR Our school was erected on the site of the old circus grounds. The property was formerly owned by Majcur Hatfield, who was a descendf ant of the Hatfield family and owned an ex' tensive tract of ground in this section of the city. When the school was first opened, the Hatfield mansion stood opposite the school. The school was named after Mr. Simon Gratz, who had been president of the Board of Educaf tion and a member of it for over fifty years. He was also chairman of the Board for Revision of Taxes. The school was designed in the Gothic style of architecture. It was opened in September, 1927. The dedication of the school took place on November 11, attended by approximately three thousand people. A large faculty was drawn from other high schools in the city. Some of the faculty have left to take positions in various schools as department heads or principal. The first principal of the school was Mr. Elwood Calhoun, with Miss Blanche Price as assistant. After Mr. Calhoun's death, Dr. E. Carl Werner was appointed to this position. 8 To hring ahout the realization of the high ideals set forth hy the school administration, a stahle form of student government was estah' lished, the henelits of which we are enjoying today. Mrs. lviarion Wzlllaice very ahly handled the prohlems of student relationship at first. Ever since the school opened, a numher of athf letie and extrafeurricular aetiyities have heen def yeloped, such as foothall, hilsehall, tennis, has' kethall, soccer, swimming, and track. Uur school was also famed for its dehating and for its chess teams, and art work. There have heen some very excellent stage productions given hy the students. Our sehool paper, the Spotlight, has main' tained a high standard and won national honors. Under the capahle leadership of Dr. Alec Wzishcci, our hand has worked itself up to its present position of leadership among such or' ganilations. All of these heterogeneous interests eontrih' uted considerahly toward making Simon Urat: High School an outstanding school in l'hiladel' phia. Year hy year, hundreds ol' students of our Alina Matter who go out into the world hear witness to the fruitful efforts of this edueaf tional institution, and, at the same time, add up to the everfinereasing nulnher ol' loyal sons and daughters in this freedoinfloying eountry of ULlI'5. DR. E. CARL WERNER PRINCIPAL O OUR PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE We, in America, have long believed in thc value of universal education, From the early days of the Republic to the present, the leaders of our country have stressed the importance of education as one of the bulwarks of democracy. We believe that an educated and intelligent citi- zenry is necessary for a people to govern itself wisely and to safeguard its liberties. The American people have placed great faith in the public schools. They are convinced that they are necessary to preserve' and improve our form of government. No nation has more widely extended the opportunities of higher education to those who are willing and able to accept them. You, who are to be graduated in a few days from this high school, have had the benefit of many years of education and training in the public school system of a great city. During these years, much time has been devoted to the development of proficiency in the elementary tools of learning and in the acquisition of varif ous other skills, knowledges, and appreciations. In our studies we have sought to develop an understanding of American ideals and the demo' cratic faith. This understanding has been exem' plified by our attitudes and relations within the school and in the activities of our Students As' sociation. These experiences were of the utmost importance in developing an understanding of the democratic way of life. I congratulate you upon the successful com' pletion of your high school studies and I am certain that the training and the ideals of our school will sustain you in the years that lie ahead. May these years be happy and many! Sincerely, ZTQJJJ For three years our school days have been profitable, happy, and enjoyable, For three years they have been guided by our principal, Dr. E. Carl Werner, who has managed our school so efficiently. Upon his graduation from Central High School, he entered the University of Pennsylf vania, where he pursued his undergraduate studies and also acquired the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. He then became a teacher in the Commerce Department at the Germantown 'High School. A few years later he was promoted to the Frank- ford High School as headship of the Commerce Department. When Simon Gratz High School was ollicially opened, Dr. Werner came here. In 1932 he was appointed principal of the Penn Treaty Jr. High School. Six years later, he was returned to Simon Gratz, as principal, after the death of Mr. J. Elwood Calhoun. Under his leadership and guidance, and his constant work with the student body and faculty, the school has been greatly improved. His progressive ideas have met with the sincere approval of the students, Such innovations as guidance counsel' lors, distributive education, and schoolfwork pro' grams which were added to the high schools in recent years have had his earnest support. The keen interest he takes in school athletics has led to a dehnite plan for an athletic field across the street. He also has organized a Student Athletic Council. The Music and Art Departments are grateful, too, for Dr. Werner's interest in their respective fields. There is not one department or activity in our school that does not have Dr. Werner's interest and attention. For such devotion we can only say, Thank you, Dr. Werner, we will not forget all that you have done. DR. WALTER E. HOWARTH Special Assistant to the Principal The supervision of the pupil personnel lies in thc hands of our eflicient and understanding assistant principal, Miss jane McCleary. Miss McCleary makes many guidance adjustments, at' tends to problems of attendance and punctual, ity, and takes care of various incidental matters for the principal. As chairman of committees such as the Wzir Council, courses in Indoctrination, and several other war courses, she has done Hne work. Numerous adjustments and plans are made in her oflice concerning the welfare of students. Her devotion to them can be seen by the man' ner in which she handles those who have any difficulties. Miss McCleary has the welfare of all Cratz students at heart when she says, lt is my ear' nest wish that the graduates of June, 1944, will find that the years spent at Gratz have proved a preparation for assuming the responsibilties of adult life. ASSISTANTS Our class can really pride itself in the fact that Dr. Walter E. Howarth, special assistant to the principal, came to Gratz at the same time as our class. Dr. Howarth served as elementary principal in other schools for fifteen years. There are many activities of which he is in charge around our school. The Mothers' Club, whose purpose it is to develop a good relation' ship between the school and home, is one of them. The Victory Corps, which has been organ' ized since Pearl Harbor, is doing a praise' worthy job under Dr. Howarth's direction. Its most recent work is that of the Blood Donor's Pledge, in cooperation with the American Red Cross. Dr. Howarth has been instrumental in organf izing the Athletic Advisory Council, which group is to assist the principal in formulating a policy for the development of athletics in this school. In fact, Dr. Howarth has been interested in everything about this school, and has always been willing to help whenever called upon. MISS JANE MCCLEARY Special Assistant to the Principal Miss Helen Faust, Miss Martha Derr, Dr. Margaret Abel, Mr. Howard Strouse, Mrs. Clare Redmond. GUIDANCE There is always a guiding light for any stu' dent seeking advice in any problem or query confronting him. Our able staff of guidance counsellors help students plan rosters to meet graduation requirements, arrange partftime em- ployment, solicit vocational information, and send letters of recommendation and information to the armed forces. They have a number of diversified activities. ROSTER Our roster Committee handles one of the most complicated tasks, combining supervisivn of selection of subjects to meet graduation re' quirements, estimating classes, scheduling asf semblies, building master rosters for teachers and pupils alike. The faculty and student body should be grateful for the efforts in their behalf, Mr. john W. Wieder. Back-Front: Miss Elsie M. Rieman, Miss Mary Elfrey, Miss Bessie Bernstein, Miss Mabel A. Meng.

THE PIIESE Many clawes have graduated from Simon Gratz and all have felt indebted to a great school. We, the Class of 32-44, are equally beholden to our Alma Mater, but we feel that Gratz may also be proud of our class and the fine record it has made. The archives of our class will always be outstanding in the history of Simon Gratz. The fine work it has done in regular and ektra-curricular activities has been recognized by those who have taught and studied with us. We have considered our studies hard and grueling work, but our memories of Gratz will be of pleasant times in pleasant surroundings. The principles of education and democracy have become real to us from our associations with the Class of 32-44 and Simon Gratz. We have learned our lessons well. I8 -. ...sua new v f 15 I9 Sponsor To the Class of june, 1944: In the one year that I have known you, I have realized that you are, as you were determined to he, an unusual class. I You have cooperated in all school projf ects with great enthusiasm and have made your influence felt in the school. The times have not heen easy for you. Your studies have heen increased and your day at school lengthened. Most of you have heen holding partftime positions in order to aid the war egort, And with all this extra responsihility you have done well in your studies and have remained splendid examples of high school boys and girls in a world at war. You are to he eongratuf lated, therefore, upon the successful com' pletion of your work in high school. I think I have enjoyed you most of all laecause of your friendliness and lcindliness as expressed in your smiling faces. So keep smiling and always aim high that your lives may he happy and successful. Very sineerely yours, LAURA M. MeALLISTER. MISS LAURA M. McALLISTER OUR LEADERS 12B President RUTH PEDLEY Ruth's cheerful disposition was appreciated hy the students, who elected her to many offices. She was a representative three terms, and senator twice. The class chose Ruth presif dent of the 11B class and also of the 12B class. She was a memher of the five foot femmes and other activities sponsored hy the school. 12B Vice-President DORIS OSBOURNE Doris was not only Vicefpresident of the 12B class, hut she has also served as a monitor, asf sistant representative, giym leader, lunchroom captain, member of the Ushers' Association, and as president of the HifY. Doris has heen a favorite of all her classmates since she first entered Gratz. 12B Secretary JOYCE WEITZ The everfserving joyce has served as a moni- tor every term. She was a Spotlight representaf tive, alternate representative, and a gym leader. Joyce attended meetings of all the IZB commit' tees to keep the class informed ahout all activi- ties. She always held a fine scholastic record and her extra work did not interrupt this record. 12B Treasurer RUTH STAUB Ruth's participation in all the school activities was an inducement for the 12B class to elect her as Treasurer. She served as a monitor five terms, representative, senator, judge, and memher of the Usher Association. Ruth helped prove the fact that good things come in small packages. wr At nine o'clock when the last bell rang most of all Simon Gratz High School students were assembled quietly in their classrooms eager and anxious for the school day to begin. Coming to school is primarily for the purpose of obtaining knowledge, but it is also the meetf ing and assembling of friends as we travel from one class to another and participate in after' school activities. Let us look at Sue Brown as she goes through a typical school day at Gratz. Sue is now in l2B, ambitious, quite attractive, and a true, loyal Gratzonian. At a quarter of nine Sue is at her locker, and between pushes and pulls, succeeds in getting her things in the locker. Now, books in arms, she wanders through the hall, greeting her ac' ON AND OFF quaintances. Before entering homeroom, Bob calls over, Sue, going to the game this afterf noon? Certainly, wouldn't miss it for anything. ln homeroom Sue hurried to complete the homework that she had not had time to finish the previous evening because Aloe had called. He had told her he couldn't keep that date on Sat- urday, and Sue was a bit suspicious. The bell rang before she finished her work, but now she had to hurry down to gym. Having stopped in the hall to speak to a few friends, Sue had to hurry to get dressed before the whistle blew. In her hurry, she tore her last pair of silk stockings. But at least she wasn't late. Now that the kinks were all out after the exercises in gym, she entered the stenography THE RECORD room with complete confidence, hut somehow the letters seemed very difficult that day. So concerned was she ahout her last nights phone call, Sue didn't get the letters that had to he typed for the next period. She was confident that Marry would have them, and M2lI'y would surely help her. But to Sue's dismay, IvIary's hoy friend was coming home on furlough that afternoon, and Marry just couldn't concentrate on school for a moment. The next period was Sue's favorite, The lunchroom was very crowded, hut her friend had saved her a seat. It was lvlonday and hot dogs were on the menu. Although Sue liked hot dogs, they were rapidly devoured, hecause she had to go to the Social Science period next, and she still didn't know what the war powers of the Senate were the assignment for that day. English followed Social Science. The teacher c tllcd on her to read the part of Ophelia from thq play H .mlet. Poor Sue's heart nearly hrolce when size thought of ,loe's phone call. Little did the class realize that these were not just words she was reading, hut her real, true feelings were heing expressed. Therefore, she was very much relieved when the hell rang to summon her to physics. My, how the period did drag. It might have heen hecause of the foothall game after school, The hell finally rang and Sue, with her cherry and white how arranged deeoratively in her hair, went to the foothall game, hoping to see a Gratz victory. Very tired at the end of a difficult day, Sue went home to do her assignments in preparaf tion for another school day at Cratz. 0UR PROM COMMITTEE Chairman, Raymond Mason Connie Adasavage, Donald Cathers, Florence Gormf ley, lvlona Ann Hughes, Andy Miller, Terry Petroski, Selma Sacks, Nicholas Valerio.

Slmereen Smith, USHERS ASSOCIATION Chairman, Mary Lou Morgan YEAR BY YEAR In September, 1941, our freshman class meekly entered the building of the Simon Gratz High School. It was like bursting forth into a new world. We entered the auditorium for the first time and learned what the school had to offer us, and what was expected of the students, also. At this time we were introduced to the first copy of the Spotlight, the school paper. It was the freshman issue, but even then many students resolved to be regular readers. We viewed the building, teachers, students, and our entire surroundings critically, but satisf factorily. We were unaccustomed to having two lunchrooms, or the choice of eating out. The hunt for the assigned classes seemed difhcult at first, but was enjoyed, as gradually we learned all about the building and were able to assist the other freshman classes that followed. The purchase of S. A. cards was introduced, and our school spirit became evident as the nickels were exchanged in return for the card which would entitle us to do many things, one of which was to vote. Our first election was different from those ex' perienced at other schools. We had petitioning and then a final election. We are always mindful of the dreadful dis' aster that occurred on December 7, 1941. We shall never forget the day we sat in the audi' torium listening to the President officially def clare war on japan. From that time on, our school lives were a bit changed in order to aid in the war effort. In all the drives that followed, including the purchase of war bonds and stamps, our class made a good standing. Though we were still in IOA, we made a good showing in the selling of tickets for the show, My Maryland. We came in second place. We also had the privilege of having had three members of our class represented in it. The generosity of the Class of 32f44 was once again appreciated when Christmas time rolled around, and we donated food for those less for' tunate than ourselves. As the overflowing bas' kets were carried from the room, to brighten the faces of some hungry family, we took great pride in the success of our accomplishments. Cur class sponsor was Mr. Pitman. He left when we were in IOB, and although we were sorry to lose him, we welcomed Mrs. Bernadette Strouse as our new sponsor. During this time, we held our first class day, which was held in the auditorium. Each class put on a skit, A few members of the faculty selected the best one, and that class won Bull' dog, the Gratz mascot. Our class proved they had what it takes by winning the first time and also in 11A, 11B, and 12A, but had to for' feit the honor in 12B. We had the privilege of naming the bulldog DaisyfJune. In 11A and 11B, we had 1009? S. A. mem' bership, which we attributed to the excellent school spirit of our class. In 11A we had our first dance, The May Frolic, which we considered a great success. In 11A a posture contest was held throughf out the school, Both the boy and girl victor were from our class. They were: Mary Zalewf ski and Carl Keister. In IZB, with saddened hearts, we bade good' bye to Mrs. Strouse, who left for the German' g , .., , V .. ,it .LX -1 Kiss- . N :gi ' ' ,,., VL Q.

In IZA we began to realize the nearness of graduation. Dues were collected, pictures were taken, and another dance was held, The Holly Hop. This was even more successful than the last. As we watched the preceding class depart, we envied them very much but knew our time would come. Yes, it did. In February, 1944, we became l2B's--high seniors. Committees were formed for various activities. Extra work was completed by everyone. The record book was compiled by the record hook staffs, extra money was raised by candy stand committees, we had our 12B dance and then came the very extra enjoyments reserved only for the l2B's. Our prom was held on May 19 at the Ritz' Carlton. It revealed a great man shortage but the evening was one of enjoyment and delight. The gay colored gowns of the girls and the pic' turesque young gentlemen made that night memorable. The banquet was an occasion which very few students will readily forget. Every one was dressed in their best attire to celebrate graduf ation. Our most commendable Senior Day made a memorable impression on all of us. The Cherry and White spirit was demonstrated by the choice clothing and decorative ribbons. The best is always reserved for the last, and so commencement was our last major activity as Gratzonians. The day finally arrived when we would have to go out and take our places in the world, but at the same time we knew we would miss Gratz. The things like football games after school, the early morning rush, the familiar faces of our friends and teachers, even the walk between classes with books in our arms are all part of Cratz, and will always remain a part of us. Gratz was like a huge melting pot when we came from different schools in IOA, but we leave as full-fledged Gratzonians. CLASS OFFICERS SINCE 10A 10A Senator ..................

But the memories which resulted in our attend- ance at Gratz. will remain with us forever. They are also written down in both words and pic' tures between the covers of the Gratzonian. The record book staffs: Literary staff, under the direction of Mr. Martiii Sklarg the art staff, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Annabelle T. Hawmang and the personal and typing staffs under the direction of Miss Clara Herrmann. The work of the literary staff was to decide upon the arrangement of the Gratzonian and make a compilation of all the things that they thought would interest the students. Franklin Roberts was the editorfin-chief. Gladys Roda and Gloria Skwersky were associate editors. We have writefups and photographs of our principal, teachers, officers, school and all the students. An added attraction is the pages def voted to baby pictures of the students. Beside the picture of each student is a four' line verse and then a short paragraph about the individual. These were originated by the per' sonal staff. The beautiful art exhibitions which add to the beauty of the record book were done by our own art staff. The typing staff devoted many hours to the typing of all the material that was submitted to the record book. Long, tedious hours were spent to give the students a record book that would give enjoy' ment in future years to those who will want to recall memories of our school days. 5 an MR.

Puccini .DeKovcn .Washco Johnson ACTIVITIES There is very little resemblance left between the schools of a generation ago and those of today. Then one went to school to obtain instruction in the 3 R's and the three R's only. Extra- curricular activities were unheard of. The only government re- volved around the principal and teachers. Today we learn all that grandfather did and more beside. We learn the art of cooperation. The school has become a miniature government, with a president as the leader, a congress divided into two houses, and all the divisions and sub-divisions. In our student government isolation is abhorred, and the principle of cooperation becomes the basis of all our actxvmes. Clas dances, inter-class competitions, proms are the results. The ideal of democracy is deeply embodied in us because we see it being practiced every day. The election of the right people for positions in the student government is giving us proper training for the day when we will take our place as citi- zens of the United States. 70 7I THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT All the highlights of student government originate in the Students' Association. The S. A. is our Simon Grat: government, It binds all the students together so that unity can pref vail while the school carries out its important work. The Student Association teaches that for every privilege, which a democratic government provides, there is also a responsibility involved to those who expect to enjoy those privileges. The Student Association is composed of a Court, a Senate, and the Students of Simon Gratz High School. We also have a House of Representatives, which is made up of one mem' ber from each of the advisory groups. The House of Representatives meets once a week and discusses important problems of the school. One of the current issues brought up before the House is the question of whether or not we could have music in the lunchroom through julie boxes. The Senate and Court are made up of either one or two members from each class, depending upon the grade of the class. Right now the House of Representatives is disf cussing the idea of giving the tenth graders two representatives instead of one in the Senate. Cur school is very proud of its almost one hundred per cent Student Association member- ship. Almost every student has already purf chased an S. A. card. This card in return offers these citizens of the Simon Grat: High School the right to vote, have entertainment, and many other privileges, The experiences which we en' counter in school activities, such as our Student Association, help to prepare us for the duties and responsibilities of a good citizen in a living democracy, One for all, and all for one, the students strive together for the welfare of Simon Grat: High School. MISS LAURA M. MCALLISTER Sponsor of the Student Association The Students' Association at Grat: is com' posed of a Senate, House of Representatives, a court, and the students of Gratz. At the meet' ings of this group all prohlems that arise conf ccrning the student hody are discussed and unf tangled. The Senate is composed of one memhev from IOA and one from IOB, The remaining grades are granted two Senators. One question that was raised was whether the tenth grades should have two senators instead of one, An' other one of the issues is the matter of music in the lunchrooms provided hy julie hoxesf' Through contact with the association we learn the value of government, hecause the Associaf tion is our medium of self expression. REPRESENTATIVES We have every reason to he proud of our Students' Association. The memhership has nearly reached the one hundred per cent mark. This is one case where we get hack more than we give. Spending a nickel for an S. A. card entitles us to all extrafcurricular activities, such as dances, movies, and other forms of entertain' ment. It also gives us the right to vote for stu' dent orhcers. The S. A. is also a strong hond hetween the students, Une for all, and all for one. striving for the welfare of Simon Grat: and its citizens. is the keynote of our students' association. Top Row: Grace West. Franklin Roberts, Florence Gormley. Bottom Row: Margaret Shaw, Jean Czyz, Mary Lou Morgan. THE SENATE The main objective of the Senate is to conf Sider the problems of the student body, and to correct all the diiiiculties that arise. Through their meetings every week the popular opinion of the students is presented. This is accom- plished through a very simple means. Each and every class is represented. At present there are eleven members of the Senate, one boy and one girl from each class above the IIA, and one pupil, either a boy or girl, from both of the tenth grade classes. The president of the school is a member of the Senate, and he presides over it. A Senator is elected for one term only but he may be reelected if the students so desire. All the business that is transacted at the Sen' ate meetings is carefully recorded. This is the highly organized group that makes the school laws, plans student activities, sponsors the sale of S. A. cards and color and class day buttons. The Senate is the fundamental unit of our Studentfdemocracy, leading us on to the more important unit, that of democratic activity in community life.

Bottom Row: Lois Larsen, John Carbonnel, Orrin Champlain, Jean Lario, William Regan. In school there are many valuable lessons taught to us. Some make us more culturedg some make us better prepared to face life as we will meet it after our school days are over. But one of the most valuable lessons that we learn here at school is respect for the law and obedif ence to the rules laid down by the majority. The overwhelming majority of the students here at Gratz know what is right, and they act accordingly. But, when a few students Hnd they can not follow all the rules, it is far better that they are taught good citizenship within the walls of Gratz, where the instruction is far less THE COURT harsh than in the world outside. When situa- tions like that arise the court is very helpful in correcting them properly, Our student court is our own. We nominate and elect all of its members. Little offenses, quite harmless in themselves, are tried and sometimes punished by our court. With painsf taking effort, Gordon Burley, the chief justice, and the entire court try to straighten out those who might have otherwise been led astray into breaking bigger and more important laws in the future. The court is one of the high-lights in our student democracy at Gratz. Bernd Ucko, Jean Klaiss, Gordon Burley, Stephanie Szeliga, Gaetano Ciuccarelli. uu- During 32f44's stay at Gratz the class which entered an unwieldy group, strangers and nov' ices in self-government, ripened into a smooth functioning class and leaders were forged from the Hres of experience. After loyal service to Cratz in many oflices and capacities, Crrin Champlain climaxed his school career by being elected to the high staf tion of S. A. President, As he has shown by his service to Cratz, Orrin can achieve naught but success in any future he may pursue. Gordon Burley's distinguished activity to the school and the class reached its zenith when he attained the post of Chief justice of the court. Cordon's relentless perseverance made him stand out as a leader of 32144. While hinting at his talents, Franklin Roberts really blossomed as a leader of our class in IZB. In that grade he was EditorfinfChief of the Gratzonian, the Spotlights Sport Editor, and Chairman of the Senior Day Committee. From the time Sandra Shaff entered Gratz, one goal possessed her efforts, and in her senior year Sandra was named Editor-infChief of the Spotlight. As the guiding spirit of information, Sandra achieved her ambition and Gratz bene- Hted. The Class of 3244 salutes you!! YVVSQN ,1- ,XFN -X l 1 N ' if 4 ., K ', ' if Q V . v,..

The music that was rendered in the clasf sical or semifclassical style in the assemhlies put us in the proper frame of mind for our work. Among all the successful student enterprises, the hand has carved a niche for itself at the top. The hand is thankful for the splendid direction of Dr. Alec NVashco, Under his ahle leadership, our hand has steadily climhed the rocky road to success, until now, when it is acclaimed as one of the hest high school hands in the city.

The striking colors of the uniforms and their stirring music focused upon our hand the center of attention, rousing the morale, spirit, and enf thusiasm of all present, Though other pictures of the school will fade, never the one of the. fiifilfl hand.

ATHLETICS The value of Sports in our American way of life lies not only in its unrivaled position as a mode of recreation and exer- cise, but also as a bulwark of the democratic system. The athletic field has contributed much to America. As a trainer of men, a molder of morals and a builder of bodies, sports are second to none. Sportsmanship, teamwork and self- reliance are but a few of the many lessons taught our American boys in athletics. In our democratic world not so much emphasis is placed winning of a game as upon the ideal that that game is on the played fairly and cleanly. We, as Gratz Alumni, can point with respect and pride to the boys who represented our school on the field of sports and their contributions to American democracy can bring naught but honor and acclaim to our alma mater. 82 , -1 b ,f, .. ., R5 w, -nf L ., W .

Bottom row: Kosielc, Spada, Roland fcaptainl, Mr. Snyder fcoachl, Derringer, Dworkin, Vallerio. Expecting only a fair season, the Bulldog base' ball team blossomed into a first division club. Led by Captain Dutch Roland and ably coached by Mr. Harry W. Snyder, the Cherry and White was a worthy opponent for any team in the Public High League. The squad this year was largely dominated by lower classmen, But the class of 3244 was well represented by leftffielder Clyde Muir, rightffielder Nick Valerio, and shortfstop jerry Dworkin. Opening their season at Germantown, the Bulldogs were rated a dismal tailender, and the boys seemed to justify that rating, losing a ball game they had sewed up 7-6. Again at Frank' ford, our boys lost to a tough Pioneer squad l4f2. Then the Bulldogs began to bark and bite. At Franklin splendid hurling and timely hitting earned a 2fl decision. Taking their second in a row our boys blasted out a 6f2 triumph over a hapless Central nine. These victories were the result of Hne twirling by Bob Yergey and Ace Dubec, The slugging department was substantif 85 ally stocked by Dutch Roland, Dilly Reid, Hal Spada, and others. Trying to keep their winning ways, the lads from Gratz journeyed to Northeast, the class of the league, and with any kind of luck, would have received a wellfearned victory. The Archives triumphed 5f3. Roxborough felt the power the Bulldog bats, suffering a 9-6 loss, Dilly Reid's four run homer being the def ciding factor. So the season went with our squad having its ups and its downs. The members of the team from our class were out there every day playing line ball. Clyde Muir who did his share of hitting, turned in some of the classiest catches of the season. Nick Valerio earned for himself the title of Most Courageous. Nick played many games handif capped by injuries, but turned in his usual line performance. Little jerry Dworkin Hnally made the big time, and held his own in a difficult position. Our hats are off to a swell group of fellows and ballplayers who have upheld the athletic traditions of Simon Gratz. Top row: Cottman, Sandrow, Ucko, Kosiek, Dittmar, I-Iubicki, Silver-ka, Koecher. Bottom row: Sauter, Adeloyte, Kosack, Shaika fcaptj, Adelman, Churylo, Rosenbaum, Kohl. One team which Crat: students have always pointed to with pride is the soccer team, This year was no exception. Largely manned hy freshmen, with a sprinkling of upper classmen, the Cherry and White hooters had a good year, though it was not on a par with the champion- ship team of 1938, nor of the aggregation of the past two years. The hoys played under diflicult conditions, as the entire schedule was made up of away games and the team had very few followers. The fact that the squad consisted of only fourteen players was an important factor in the record compiled. Coached hy M1'. Joseph Schwcitler and led hy Captain Mike Shaika, the squad engaged in a series of prefseason tilts, with our side com' ing out victorious in the majority of tussles, The SOCCER opening league game ended in a triumph for the Bulldogs, hut that was their only league victory. Through the remainder of the season, our team secured fourth place in the final league standings as a result of one win, two ties, and three defeats. Bernard Ueko, our star goalie, and halfhack Sid Adelman represented the Class of 3244. These two hoys, together with Dick Koecher and Mike Shaika, had to hold the soccer team together, Bernard had the misfortune to suffer a serious injury in the opening half of the sea' son and was relegated to a side line position. Sid stepped into a starting spot without the henefit of too much experience and surprised hy doing remarkahly well. The spirit of these hoys and the effort they gave should long he rememhered not only hy their class, hut hy the entire school. Our foothall team deserves a great deal of praise. Urat: carried the smallest squad in the league and was the least experienced. Only one lirstfstring suhstitute was left, around whom Coach Williaiii Clausen could huild his team. The fact that the Grat: hoys were willing to go out on the field week after week, ahsorhing ter' rific punishment and coming hack for more, dc' serves our thanks and appreciation. The Class of 3144 has heen well represented hy a sterling group of players. Dick Miller, who alternated at end and fullhack, gave up soccer, a sport at which he was already accomplished, to help Gratz put a team on the Held. In the waning games of the season, Dick was getting off to long gains and showed great promise. Harry Bratton, that roly poly, hard hitting guard, was the mainstay of the line. He played almost every minute of the season and never let one of the numerous injuries which he suHered keep him on the hcneh, FOOTBALL Then there are the Bulldog gridders who would have gradauted with our class hut are now in the armed services. Herman Sass, stellar center, of whom too much can not he said, was mentioned for hon' ors on the All Puhlic High team as he def parted for the Navy. Huge Goose Guzek, who was the line plunger and end, now wears the uniform of the U. S. Army. Plucky lviatt Jaslow, who made the team the first year out, gave his all and received, hesides his letter, many hattle wounds for his efforts. Matt was called to the colors recently. These are our hoys and whether on the grid' iron or on the hattlehelds of the world, they are distinguishing themselves and making the name of Simon Gratz synonymous with loyalty, courage, and hravery.

BASKETBALL At the beginning of the basketball season, Uratz High loomed as a strong contender for the Public High playoffs. However, the Bull' dogs did not quite fulfill their expectations. Few reserves and loss of regular players had a great deal to do with their decline. In prefseason games, Gratz, looked outstand' ing. After losing a tough game to St. joseph's in the opener, the Bulldogs trampled their next four opponents in succession. La Salle, Bok, Dobbins, and Olney were the teams that fell before the scoring attack of the Gratz quintet. In the first two opening games, the Bulldogs faced Bartram and Southern, the top favorites of the Public High League. Gratz fought hard and before they won both Bartram and South- ern had some very doubtful moments. Led by center Dick Koecher, the Gratz ag- gregation crushed their next two foes, German' town and Frankford, with ease. They lost a thriller to Benjamin Franklin and then won over Central to finish the first half of the season in a triple tie for fourth place. At the close of the hrst half Dick Koecher graduated, and without Koecher the team slowly lost ground in the league race. The Class of 3244 was well represented on the squad. There was Jimmy Ragland, well known for his brilliant floor playing. Rags has a keen head for basketball and was the best de' fensive player on the Bulldogs' quintet. Dick Miller also represented the class. Dick had a good pivot shot and was a fine foul shooter. There was Don Cathers. Don possessed a tricky onefhanded, overhead shot. joseph Guzek not only represents the present graduating class, but he also represents the army. Goose replaced Dick Koecher at center. This season is gone and will soon be forgot' ten but these boys, as well as the rest of the team, will long be remembered in the minds of the students and teachers of Simon Gratz. Top row: Roland, Ragland fcaptainj, Miller, Koecher. Bottom row: Coach Shegog, Bolger. Muhe, Dossick, Cathers. l Top row: Hornstein, Coach Oser, Myers. Bottom row: Regan, Handel fffaptainj, A. Oser, Motter. Gratis pride and joy, its championship tennis team, continued on its winning ways in our senior year. Led hy Captain Sammy Handel, one of the greatest schoolhoy tennis players who ever graced a Puhlic High League court, the Bull' dogs rolled relentlessly on winning most of its matches. The other memhers of the league were no match for the power and skill of this Oser coached team. Largely manned hy memhers of our class, the racqueteers hattered the opposition into suhf mission. LaSalle, Northeast, Olney, Roxhorough, Frankford, all howed hefore the smashes of Handel, Oser, Regan, Mmmtter, Myers, Block and Rush. Handsome Sam Handel was unquestionahly the finest hall player in this vicinity. Sam came through with an undefeated season. In three years he won thirtyfthree out of thirtyffour matches to make the hest record in Gratz tennis history. TENNIS Alan User, son of coach joseph Oser, hattled his way successfully through most of his matches. Our own 12B Senator, Bill Regan, showed his prowess hy earning many triumphs for the Cherry and White. 'sDucky Ivfotter filled some mighty hig foot' wear as he held down the numher four position. Long Stan Myers, high ranking hoy racquef teer in these parts cooperated successfully with Al Block, and Bill Rush. Al Hornstein, early season choice for douhles, ran into some tough luck, and was not ahle to participate in the matches. However, he filled the managerial post capahly. Mnmst of Gratz High's students have never through their stay at this school witnessed a tennis match. That is most regrettahle, The ease, skill, and strength that is displayed hy good tennis players is a thing of heauty. We cannot say too much, and Grat: cannot he overly proud of the honor and respect our championship tennis teams have hrought to our school. GIRLS' SPORTS That this is getting to bc a women's world is beginning to be clearly seen in the halls of Gratz. In view of this, the Physical Education Department has filled its schedules to the brimg and has added many afterfschool activities to keep us in good physical condition. In 1929 a leaders club was established for the beneht of all girl students. It is probably one of the oldest clubs in our school. In later years more and more girls became interested in this group. It was established to acquaint the students with class activities, and also to help improvc their classmates' work. Leaders are chosen not to show their authority, but to aid those not able to execute an exercise. The leader must understand her classmates' faults and try to raise their standing in gym work. In the fall term of each year, a proficiency test was given to these leaders and in the spring the same girls met for the gym meet. The proficiency or L test consisted of many different exercises on the various pieces of apf paratus, Points were given according to the ability of each student participating. A large red L was given to those students who completed their test with an average of 7026 or better. The following term the leaders club name was changed to Apparatus Club. The leaders receiving their L were as follows: 1. Mary Bober, 2. Mary Brunner, 3. Anna Evanchyk, 4. Bernice C-over, 5. Isabel Hamil, 6. Virginia Hawey. Miss Thelma Murr sponsored the number one sport of the termfhasketball. Monday afterf noons the team practiced in the girls' large gym, where it learned most of the ruels of basketball. Occasionally, Miss Eleanor Vogt would come down to referee our games that were played be' tween the first and second teams. Many games were played with other schools, but in spite of the enthusiasm of our players, A. A. COUNCIL Top Row: Vivian Williams, Mary Brunner, Isabel Hamil, Dorothy Covey. Bottom Row: Mary Bober, Anna Evanchyk, Virginia Howey. all games were not victories. Our opponents, however, fought hard and long for the games they won. At the halfway mark, the students were given a pep talk hy our coach, which drove our team to a victory. Several lower class' men of our school filled the vacant places left open by our graduates of the previous term. Schedule February 17 fGrat: vs. Olney. February 21-wGrat: vs. Dobbins.

Our girls, under the supervision of Mrs. Davisson, met once a week at the Glen' wood Bowling Alleys. Instead of competing with other schools, the teams of different grades played against each other. Students from every grade in Gratz participated in the activity. A fairly loud blast of a teacher's whistle and then a light, pleasing voice calling, All right, Cherubs, let's get going, began our volleyball games which took place every Wediiesdaty after' noon in the girls' large gym. Ever since our school opened, Gratz has had a volleyball team. In 1942, Mrs. Green was in charge of this sport. Our teams challenged other schools, such as Olney, Dobbins, and Kensingf ton. In 1944, Mrs. Hester Fitzgerald organized two teams, the Gremlins and the Termites. Every Wediuesday afternoon, they would battle against each other. The Termites would almost always lead in the beginning, but were soon overtaken by the mighty Gremlins. First a game of twentyfone points was played, and then if we had any time to spare, an elevenfpoint game was played. Total games won by the Gremlins was 18 and 3 for the Termites. MRS. I. H.
