We ourselves chart the course we are to follow on the rough seas of Experience, Adventure, and Leaming. Many find the passage easier than others. Those who wander off into the dark depths of Ignorance-those who close their eyes and minds to the tribulations of ,mankind and shun their inevitable duty of con- tributing some good to the world, are apt to find the journey somewhat easier but not so gratifying. It is not difficult to get lost in the Channels oi' Ignorance, Intolerance. and Ill-regard for fellowmen. and once lost there is little hope for a reorientation which would set the iourney back on the right course. However, those who set sail tor the Isthmus of Broad-mindedness. and the Islands of Tolerance, Understanding, and Clear Thinking will find their course rich in happiness and satisfac- tion. This iourney. we realize, is the hardest, for we must combat the barriers ot misconception, indifference, and preiudice.

Our school is actually a reilection of the students who. in a period of three years. may glorify the name of Simon Gratz. Our school has served us in providing the toundation of our knowledge. the center of social contact, the hub of war activities. We have. in return. served Gratx High by attempting to up- hold and improve its standards. and by carrying forth and spreading into the world the indomita- ble Gratzonian spirit. The school, the faculty. and our principal. Dr. Werner, will always linger in our hearts as having provided the happiest years of our youth. 6 7 SCHOOL HISTORY A great institution ot learning, whose aim has been to educate the youth ol yesterday and today, opened its doors to the com- munity in September, l927. Qn that eventful day in September, boys and girls from nearly all the high schools in Philadelphia became the pioneer class ot the Simon Gratz High School. The first impression one receives when ap- proaching Gratz High is ol a grey cathedral- like building, with towers embracing the clouds. Our school is built ot a yellow-grey brick, styled after English Gothic architec- ture, Mr, Bromberg, the father of one of the girls from our graduating class, helped lay out the grounds which surround Gratz High. The property on which the Simon Gratz High School was built was once circus grounds. The Gratz building accommodates 3,500 to 4,000 students, and contains two hundred and eleven rooms. These rooms are designed and equipped for academic, commercial, and industrial studies. The students of Gratz High can also be proud of their tine auditorium, gymnasiums, lunch rooms, and locker rooms. The dedication ot this stately and majestic building took place on Armistice Day, 1928. ,Simon Hfmdg ,Schvnl When the school officially opened its doors for learning, Mr. I. Elwood Calhoun became its first principal. Subsequent to his death on February 8, l938, the office was filled by Dr. E. Carl Werner, a former head of the Commercial Department and at the time a Iunior l-ligh School principal. lt is under his expert guidance and supervision that our school has continued its progress. By work- ing with the students and the faculty, Dr. Werner has given the school a cooperative, friendly, and pleasant spirit. lt is this deep- centered spirit which makes Gratz students different from students of other high schools. Early in the history of our school, the new student body, together with the teachers, or- ganized a student government, now known to all of us as the Students Association Throughout the years it has steadily im- proved with each class, and today it is the heart of all student activity.

A democratic school, like a democratic nation, must express its views through the press, The voice of our opinions is ably exe pressed through the 'lSpotlight, which is one of the best school papers among all the high schools of Philadelphia. Today, graduates of Simon Gratz are fight- ing in all corners of the globe, to help pre- serve the teachings of citizenship and de- mocracy that Simon Cfratz High has taught them. Since our school was built, thousands of students have received an education not only in community living, but have learned also to become essential aids in the con- struction and shaping of a democratic way of living for millions of people throughout the world. .. xl t:QgLf.,f'Q'1f M 2 . ffm- 'Mb i f .. .1 wi - , 4, .- -1 K -- ' 'uouhavrlmnnnufzqzukibzqlzqhf Ltflula wr for Aifubnn wbfh all nw: 3 1 DR E. CARL WERNER Principal IO TO THE CLASS OF IUNE 1945: I congratulate you upon the attainment ot high school graduation in these very trying and tragic years. Your class is the second class in the Gratz High School to have known only the high tensions and emotional disturbances of war as the normal background ot your e.ntire three-year high school career. You have experienced disruptions not only in school but in the changes that war brings in the regular course of family lite. Relatives have been called to service with the armed forces, parents have served in War plants on day and night shifts, and many new responsibilities and War services have de- manded your attention. You have, nevertheless, persevered and reached your goal. lt is true that your daily schedules have been heavier because of the addition of war electives and requirements. These courses, however, will help you to adjust yourselves more easily and quickly to the immediate needs ot the future. Your class has achieved a very fine record. I am confident that tho qualities which have brought you success in school work will bring you also happiness and success in all the years to follow. Sincerely yours, Z QJNJ L.Af-Lnfvuqg Principal. wbfh 111401, ' , and gm! 01111 Hddlhfdllfd mm fwn nf the bmi. To the Class of lune l945: As l write this message to you, the Armed Forces of our country are achieving great victories on all the battle fronts, This is due to the tremendous amount of preparation of our people on the home front, together with the courage and fortitude shown by our men of the battle front. You, as students of Gratz High School have prepared yourselves during the last three critical years for your part in the things to come, We hope that Peace On Earth will come soon and that your services in actual combat will not be needed. Be that as it may, you have been well prepared for Peace and War. Your studies have been geared to a wartime program but the principles of Peace, Iustice and Right have been a part of your curriculum too. You are to be congratulated on achieving your high school diploma. As you leave Gratz High School may you continue to practice in adult life the principles of tolera- tion, respect for the rights of others, and true democratic living that you have lived here. WALTER E, HOWARTH Special Assistant to the Principal. To the Class of 34-715: ln my note of greeting to your class when you entered the Simon Gratz High School in September, l942, l expressed the hope that you would Hsoon become fullefledged school citizens in your preparation for that broadet citizenship as men and women in a free land. For three years you have realized the first part of my hope by living, Working, and playing together as active citizens in our school democracy. Today, we are coming to think in terms of world citizenship. As you leave us to as- sume your responsibilities as young men and women it is my earnest wish that each of you will play a gallant part in shaping the better World that must emerge from the pres-- ent conflict. May rich success crown all your efforts. IANE MCCLEARY Special Assistant to the Principal. GUIDANCE: Miss Helen Faust. Miss Martha Derr. Dr. Margaret Abel. Mr. Howard Strouse, Mrs. Claire Redmond. Through the earnest and sincere efforts of the Guidance and Roster Offices, we suc- ceeded in being rostered into desired sub- jects, thus gaining the knowledge necessary for success. As we slowly climbed the steps of our high school career, the patient under- standing that the Guidance and Roster Offices displayed has made them indis- pensable to Gratz High School. Through their untiring efforts, we have been able to secure part-time employment, ' andfimicn and our rosters were arranged to suit our positions. They have shown interest in our class by summoning each pupil for a per- sonal interview, thus helping the undecided choose a vocation. We, the class of 344715 wish to express our gratitude to the Guidance and Roster Offices. Because they have striven to over- come our difficulties, they have made our years here in Gratz memorable ones. ROSTER: Mr. Iohn Wieder.

It will be the thoughts of a school pal who used to sit next to us in Physics, the fellow who knew all the answers in Social Science, or of the girl who unmeaningly slammed her typewriter causing ours to jump, that will enter our reminiscing mind when we look back on our years at Gratz. At Gratz, we leamed the meaning of cooperation. worked and planned together, spent mirthful hours of ioy together. and each and every one, as though united in action and thought, felt the pangs of fright during a test and the feeling of relief after it was all over. Something affecting one member of the class inevitably affected all. Perhaps to this companionship and unity is due the success we have attained in clubs. dances, war drives, and the . many other activities in which we partici- pated. Our memorable experiences at Gratz have become lasting memories be- cause of our associations with our fellow members of the class of 34-'45. 20 l 1 p I w w p w w 2 I 'Ijou lawn lwzn nw: o 0 I .So an wlwm wr muld alwazp .

YI SYDELL GROSSMAN-PRESIDENT lndustrious, lively, laughing, amiable, neat, natural, sensible and earnest-eight Words- separately mean nothing, but together spell Sydell Grossman, who means much to us. Sydell's pleasant nature and genuine spirit of friendliness have made her popular Within the class. She has a deep sense of fair-play and an honest interest in her Work. She has made many friends in the class through her sociability, and has always been interested in the activities of the class. Because of her scholastic achievement, her charming personality, and sincere desire to help others, We have progressed under her leadership. She has made her Way into the hearts of all who know her-teachers as Well as students. As president of our Senior Class, she proved herself Worthy of every trust we placed in her. To my friends of 34-'45: White gowns, dark suits, we're graduat- ingl When We stop a moment and realize that three years have gone by since We entered Gratz, it seems incredible that time could fly by so fast, The dances, elections, assemblies, the teachers, studies, reports, all flash back with sudden impetus when We think of graduation and its implications. This Record Book can record a great deal, the faces of our friends, minute histories of our classmates and candid shots around the building. But there it stops, it is limited. We take over from there. Only upon our indi- vidual personalities is the true meaning of school reflected. Only within ourselves are the really pleasant moments recorded-stroll- ing past the Marble Hall, singing in the audi- torium, eating in the lunchroom. Perhaps it is now, at Graduation, that we can truly appreciate high school. For Gratz gave us more than a technical education. From almost every corner of the city, Gratz brought us together, shook our hands, and made us friends. By graduating, we often think only of leav- ing something behind. Yet, thinking again, We must surely realize that We can never leave Gratz behind us. That wherever we go, we carry some of Gratz with us, some memories, some friends and this Record Book-always to remind us of H34-'45. SYDELL GROSSMAN, Class President. Jim my JIMI434-45 AGNES BRENNER-VICE PRESIDENT Agnes, through her conscientious work as Vice Presi- dent of our class, has done a great deal in keeping our different class activities going and well organized. Her sparkling eyes and cheerful smile are assets that we will always remember when thinking back on our youth in Gratz. Agnes is a happy medium between seri- ousness and frivolity. She has a deep sense of responsi- bility and fine sense of duty. Agnes always has a kind word for everyone and is truly friendly toward us. Her leadership and high sense of loyalty have made her ad- It has been a deep pleasure to have Agnes Brenner as our Vice President because of the untiring and sincere efforts she has displayed in making our class one of the mired by all. i s if ' ?' most successful in the history of our school. ANN PRIZANT-TREASURER Ann combines with her intelligence and scholarship a sincere friendliness and spontaneous humor which have made her one of our best liked classmates. She is always smiling, and we feel that her philosophy of life must be, Laugh, and the World laughs with you, Cry, and you cry alone. She may be small, but what a tall pace for work she sets for herself. She has always done her work quietly and well, and we have always been able to rely on her for cooperation and fine results. The girl whom the 12B class has chosen for its Treasurer, has shouldered the responsibility placed upon her capably, by displaying the qualities of good sense, perseverance, originality and sincerity. Ann has proved herself the possessor of all these fine attributes more than once.

Since she possesses a flair for writing, she has been elected secretary many times during the history of our class. Through her fine efforts, she has succeeded in mak- ing our final term a memorable one. As secretary of our senior class, Ruth has proved herself worthy of our confidence and trust by tackling all our class problems with courage and zeal. , I- YZ '24 Q X ' f I ' 5' ' rr, all dlwazpi ml NCE upon a time, not too long ago, and yet not yesterday, a throng of eager novices in search of knowledge and adventure congregated in the vicinity of Luzerne and Hunting Park Avenue await- ing the moment which had long been antici- pated. All were to become part of the in- vading force of freshmen whose inevitable union was to form, with the Grace of God and the mercy of their teachers, the gradu- ating class of 34-'45. It was a new experience, a different ad- venture! That first day, in which we as- sembled in the large auditorium of Simon Gratz marked the beginning of an entirely new phase in our youth. Here began the great process of assimilation in which the hopes, hardships, and experiences of our school lives were to be intermingled so as to affect each and every student. Notwithstand- ing the fact that we felt like small fish in a huge pond, our freshmen complexes were lightened by the warm welcome we received from the S. A. prexy, who was then Estelle Malerman. Her warm, friendly smile and understanding nature helped imbue us with the strong, indomitable Gratzonian spirit, which has, through our high school years, aided us in our most trying times. It was also at this memorable meeting that we met for the first time the principal of Gratz High, Dr. Werner, who impressed us as being a most tolerant cmd understanding person. Through our years at Gratz this simple but sincere impression of Dr. Werner has been verified and broadened. His amia- ble smile and ardent interest in the students and their activities have reflected the very spirit of Gratz High, and his wise guidance has served as a beacon to lead us on the way to. greater heights. We have realized the privilege of associating with so fine a person, Whose efforts have been instru- mental in aiding and retaining the standards of our high school. Miss Murr, our class sponsor, was also on hand to welcome her fledglings. We thought Miss Murr a charming personality, whose familiar smile and cordial welcome made us feel more like high seniors rather than the inexperienced frosh we were. We drifted hazily through that term and in 10B we considered ourselves old hands and veterans since there was now present in the school a class upon which we could look down. We elected our second senator and were by this time quite acquainted with the system of petitioning before the final elec- tion. Duplicating our 10A term, we scored a high percentage in S. A. membership and were beginning to feel more or less in the groove in regard to our status in school. For the first time, we witnessed a Color Day, which made quite an impression upon us. In September, 1943, we reached the half- way mark in our school careers. With our junior year, however, came new and more complicated subjects in our respective courses of study. True to our school spirit, we again renewed our faithful membership in the S. A. and showed a marked increase in our scholastic record. With the transition from 10th graders to juniors came a greater knowledge of our many school activities. We also became aware of the many war or- ganizations which have been active in our school. The Victory Corps was the by-word of the day and took the spotlight. All of our class members, moved by patriotism, joined and worked on many drives to hasten that day to' victory. We helped raise funds for a bomber to be named for Simon Gratz, solicited blood donors, aided in clothing drives for those less fortunate than we, wfzzazwmp M helped in tin can and paper salvage, and continually bought war stamps and bonds. So busy were we in our school and war ac- tivities that the end of the term came sooner than we had anticipated. We were now high juniors, ready to be greeted with those three little, but significant words-'lLincoln, Whitman, and Democracy! Can they ever escape us? Will llB English live with us forever, due to them? Yes, we can assure our English Department that Lin- coln, Whitman, and Democracy are as familiar to us as are Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin. lt was in llB, too, that We became active in school and class activities. We were look- ing ahead, realizing that graduation wasn't too far ahead. fWhat optimistic students We werell Money had to be had, and we started to collect. The Iunior Hop, our first trial ai dance arranging, was, to our surprise and satisfaction, a success. At last We were on our way, the class of 34-'45 had some finances. 'Twas in l2A, however, that our activities acquired more importance. We were Seniors. After eleven years of gradual climbing, we had reached the l2th rung of the ladder- our senior yearl As soon as we were settled in 12A the S. A. plaque for 1007, member- ship in the Students Association was awarded to us and We kept this honorable trophy through our 12B term, also. We at- tribute our cooperation to the excellent school spirit our class displayed. We were proud that 34-'45 was recognized. Our excellent record in student activity and i.n our daily scholastic work, would not have been so great were it not for the en- couragement and inspiration offered us by our principal and friend, Dr. Werner. Each assembly address he delivered gave us the little urge we needed in order to assume our scholastic responsibilities. His encourag- ing Words made us feel more self-confident and more determined, We couldn't let such a wonderful person down, and we didn't. Thank you, Dr. Werner, 34-'45 will never forget your inspiring words of advice, and we shall always be grateful to you for spur- ring us on to success. x QJX 2 I itll -r VV 4 J-2' lb Q. vi ull, f '-FV ..

Graduation pic- tures Were taken. How Well we looked in our caps and gownsl- It was a thrill to see ourselves decked in commencement attire, and the robes increased our previous deter- mination to see 12A through successfully. It was While we were low seniors, that Iunior Miss was presented. Our class felt proud to be so Well represe.nted in the performance, having over ten actors and actresses from our group. The evening was an exciting one, and our profits were great. In 12A We began to realize the nearness of graduation. Dues had to be collected and more money was to be raised by our Thanksgiving Class Dance, The Turkey Trot. This affair was even a greater success than our former dance, and our cash box was getting there. 34-'45, however, was different in many ways. We gave birth to Myrtle. For the first time in Gratz history, a graduation class selected a mascot. Class buttons were ordered and Myrtle decked our attire-going with us from class to class, sharing our good times and hard tests! After experiencing another locker inspec- tion, our l2A term was over. We were glad to see the seniors leave, that is Myrtle and We, for now we would be filling their steps. In February, 34-'45 became high seniors. Pinching ourselves twice, or more, to prove to ourselves that it wasn't all a wonderful dream, We settled down to business. Com- mittees were organized and nearly everyone had extra curricular responsibilities. All our material for the Record Book was compiled and made ready to be printed. Our class dues collections progressed well and money, again in demand, was raised by the Candy Stand Committee, the Publicity Com- mittee, and our Dance Committee. Our 12B class dance, the Shamrock Shuffle, was held on Friday afternoon, March l6, and it was a huge success. Our 12B class activities could not have been carried out successfully without the help and guidance of our class sponsor, Miss Thelma Murr.

Webster, when he compiled his dictionary, must have found it to be an arduous task, but he had nothing on the Literary Staff of the Gratzonian of 34-'45. We, too, experi- enced hard times, but such ordeals were mingled with loads of fun and merry making. lt is amazing how our sponsor, Mr. Sklar, is still able to walk around under his own power. How he could have survived our arguments, comments, and criticisms is one of the miracles we cannot understand. At each meeting in the narrow fifth floor corridor, so much had to be accomplished, and still, with much to do, we were arguing for more additions, to make ours the finest Gratz Record Book ever published. lt was due to Mr. Sklar's calmness ana' clever way of letting our arguments pass over his head, that we finally settled down to business and completed our required as- signments. The task which confronted the staff was MR. MARTIN SKLAR Gratzonian Sponsor to compose and plan the Record Book, with the exception of the personal write-ups. Our staff labored industriously to produce this memorial of their high school days at Gratz. Under the leadership and guidance of our Editor in Chief, Claire Levy, and her associe ate editors, Harriette Elkins and Shirley Portnoy, publication of this book became possible. Our deadlines were met Cwith great rush and excitement, of coursel and our work was half done. Planning and arrangement of the book followed. The completed record was the result of our interest and hard work. Although the task presented its problems and obstacles, the realization that we have aided in producing the Gratzonian creates in all of us a great deal of satisfaction. With this combined spirit of pride, satisfaction, and service, we present this Record Book to our Class of 34-'45, with our best wishes and the hope that it will, in the future, serve as a diary of our years at Gratz. f FE , , . , 2 Qwheifilfercxrly ggjfaff Cu 5 3 Glcure A Xa-ff E ffdiknr-infglliief .fu Q9 Q Gr - W CaNfcxfx1Q2IXC?fZf535OY bg SSO nefi- vw fl' 'N S - . fx-. - KK77 3,22 sb l , ff ,or , OS:-,O 4 3 . . . x in X -I J I 1- .Q Q'- 'RCURS Clclfivi 125 fdilfrr , Qaemard fogcm qporls fdifirr YL 2' .

BEHOLD WTI-IE POETSl 'The sounds that might be heard issuing forth from Miss l-lerrman.n's room by any un- suspecting stranger amiably strolling down the hall late in the afternoon certainly would not have sounded like those which might ordinarily be heard. Iune, spoon, room, doom-no, no, Oli, what rhymesl' What's a word beginning with 'N'? Some- thing not too flowery, but just describing lsabelf' lf our wandering stranger were to enter the portals of poets and wits, he would find a haggard group of girls pacing the floor with individual cards in hand of the mem- bers of the graduating class, attempting vain- ly to compose sweet nothings, always flatter- ing to each and every member, with Miss Herrmann, sitting calmly and serenely, al- ways offering help and suggestions, in the midst of bedlam, To say that the shrieks of laughter, not dis- tress, were because of what might have been written by a fellow member of the staff about a classmate, would not be presumptuous in the least. lt might very easily be said that there was more reading, more discovering being done as to the relative genius and brilliance of the staff, and more laughter at what was being written, than there was com- posing, The secret, perhaps, has leaked out that the greatest strategical difficulty, and this can be reported with all ease now, was that of finding a good substitute for those old stand-bys, sweet and handsome, lt was a tough fight, but we won-we think. And who, may we ask quite condescend- ingly, was the fellow who said that to write biography was the simplest form of the crea- tive arts? He should have joined our staff! After a round of beating our heads on the wall to magnify in each person his most beautiful, his most commendable, his most gm, gm, gm, ww flue Jypzhfzx .... remarkable qualities, the finished products were passed, with a sigh of relief to the type- ing staff, which literally was engulfed in a sea of cards. Between trying to use a de- ciphering code and a typewriter eraser, the staff emerged for air, only to return again, tapping out their SOSS. Can it be denied that the great future poets of America, yes of the world, will come from the members of class 34-'45? No. in- evitably and without doubt.

A The curtain was draped, on the stage With great care. ln hopes that an audience, soon Would be there. 'Doc Washco and the band, Started the show Hang on to your hats, Get ready, let's gol The players are in makeup They are all backstage And feeling as if They were locked in a cage. When, out in the school The house-lights grew dim. Curtainl Iunior Missl Full of vigor and vim. Out on the platform she Sauntered--Our Star. The audience cheered her From near and afar. I Ann Prizant was Iudy, Sweet and light as a bubble Whose escapades always Got her in trouble. The crowd leaned forward All eager to hear Miss Putty Adams, Our Annabelle dear. We laughed at their troubles. We laughed at their fun. We laughed at the riotous Things they'd done. ' When out of the wings Stepped Mother and Dad Their daughters drove them 'Most entirely mad. Did you see the gray in Harry's hair? . Little Iudy put it there. Mother's beaten tired ways Came from Lois' hectic days. Myrtle found her way into the heart of the class of 34-'45 when she appeared with her braids flying, on our red and white Myrtle buttons which all the members of our class wore very proudly. While still in l2A, our present prexy, Dick Miller, then vice president, and Bryna Schaeffer originated the idea ot adopting this little terror as our class mascot. This was greeted with great enthusiasm. Our orders were placed, and at the beginning of our To Nan-our Lois-her boy friends came They whistled and shouted and Called her pet names. As dry leaves that before The wild hurricane ily, When they met Grace and Harry They grew awkward and shy. Now Sterling, now Albert, And Tommy and more More parties, more dances, more Good times galore. And then in the next scene A knock on the door- Uncle Willis strolled in, Romance was in store. Iudy had heard hushed talk Of this man- 4 Her mothers kid brother, Black sheep of the clan. Willis and Ellen, we'll Never forget They fell in love From the moment they met Ioyce and Natalie played Ellen--so shy Dick Miller as Willis gave Her the glad-eye. Ruth Mondelblatt, we'll Always remember The maid in the cast- An outstanding member. She made us laugh with her Dry sharp humor Hilda stole the show is The current rumor. Those mid-winter nights In the month of December And the show Iunior Miss We will always remember. So thanks to Miss Keenahan, Miss Arthur, the cast. The curtain, rings down Junior Miss has passed. 12B term, the lucky members of 34-'45 re- ceived the tiny replica of our beloved Myrtle for one thin dime. We are also thankful to Dudley Schaeffer, the cartoonist, for permitting us to adopt Myrtle. Without her our lite at Gratz would not have been complete. This character, so true to life, was another bond which helped to make our class feel so closely united.

Z I N g 9 I FIRST PRIZE CNATIONAI. ESSAY CONTEST! I walk to my window and look out over a snow-covered street. The white is slowly turning to grey, wet slush. Dusk falls over Philadelphia, a typical American city. Men and women hurry home from work, moving, black silhouettes against the snow, night after night, stopping to scoop up a cylindri- cal ball of newspaper-shifting a package from one weary arm into another. This is what America means to me. The people: Milling swarms of people pouring out of homesg sweeping down the streetsg pouring into subways. Subways: dense with people, acrid with their smells. Shoes, hats, arms, and watches. People: defense workers, white-collar men, working girls, pushing back their cuffs, arching their wrists, watch- ing the time-counting out the seconds. Wrist watches row on row . . . white wrists . . . hairy wrists . , . brown ones, wrinkled with age . . . ticking out the time . . . pulsing and beating out the time . . . to remind Americans in subways, streetcars, train sta- tions, that life is short, American time is precious. It means their faces: The wrinkled, oily face of an Italian grandmother breaking into a toothless grin. The beefy, ruddy face with its jowled cheeks of the Irish cop on the corner. Faces: expressions of people surging along endless streets, hurrying to go places -made-up faces under perky hats, colorful fascinatorsg dark, driven, harried looks-worried faces under grey felt hats. Grey felt hats-the brand of American man- hood. Arrow shirts, Stetson hats, Flor- sheim shoes, but grey felt toppers-all cast from the same mold, slammed onto Ameri- can heads at a rakish angle . . . complete with the same slightly rusty, slightly frayed black headband. It means the children's faces-ruddy, rosy, shiny from the cold-faces spelling Ireland and Russia . . . Italy and Africa-beaming as one on the corner playlot. Teen-age faces -young, aware-growing into individuals crowding 'round the corner drug-store, beat- ing out the rhythm of the jukebox on marble- By 994.110-drum lewd topped. tables. The determined look of an eighteen-year-old, waving goodbye from the narrow window of a troop train . . . a last goodbye as the train pulls out, chugging and clanging-racing into the future. The tense, taut, high-strung face of a teen-age girl, waiting for the mailman, listening for his staccato ring as he slides a letter into the mail-slot. The hurried scrawl free across the corner of an envelope. It means the landscape: Books rant on about the typical American landscape-the hackneyed phrases- peaks of the Rockies --fertile delta of the Mississippi-sterile sands-Maine's rugged coasts. But to me the American landscape means the city- The city: The narrow, brown,weather-beaten streets of Philadelphia. The pigeon-be- specked sandstone buildings. Houses, row after row, like the strings of paper dolls I used to cut out when I was young. Clean wash stretched out proudly on a Monday morning , . . garbage and rubbish cans. The thrill, the expectancy, the adventure of a city. Bill-plastered fence-boarding: For the Pause that Refreshes - I'd Walk a Mile for a Camel -signposts-2 Keep off the grass . . . Don't Touch-Wet Paint . . . Men Working . . . Please Use Rear Cars Dur- ing Rush Hours. . . . It means the South Street of any city- gypsies, Negroes, shopkeepers, sweaty bodies . . . pushcarts piled high with crisp greens . . . the corner fishmarket with slimy, silvery, slippery mackerel being planked onto swaying scales. Noises: shrill laughter, voices of different pitch, the distinction of dialects and accents. It means . . . LIFE! It means Rittenhouse Square: THE Square. . . . Pseudo-artists . . . children in pink and blue snow-suits . stiff, starched nannies and sheared-beavered Mommies .... The trees, the squirrels, the copper and gold leaves in autumn, each casting its own blue- purple shadow. Fairmount Park-Boat rides on a Sunday afternoon Picnics and soda pop, the fear of getting lost and the thrill of finding your way back to the trolley-line. It means all the streets of Philadelphia- South, Broad, Wahiut, Willing's Alley-Old Philadelphia . . . Home is where the heart is and my heart is with the City. It means the sounds: A sound that you heard once in the dim past that seems so familiar when you hear it again . . . The sounds of a city. An automobile shifting noisily into gear in the dead of night .... The voice of an agitator near City Hall, raised high over mid-city traffic . . . The clashing and slinging of coarse, white plates in the corner diner . . . The brittle sound of money being planked down on a marble counter . . . the sharp, staccato bell of a cash register as it rings up change. The sputtering of fried meat on the grill. It means the sound of Sunday afternoon symphonies filling the living room . . . the hush when Kostelanetz mounts the podium. It means- Lucky Strike Means Fine To- bacco . . . Iello Again, This ls Iack Benny Speaking , . . 1 Love to Spend Each Wednesday with You . . . When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain . . . and Rinse White, Rinso White, Happy Little Washday Song. It means the little things: . . . The mustard oozing from the succulent end of a hot-dog. The foam on top of a mug of root-beer . . . The water-ice man with his assortment of flavors. It means the memories: . . . A street light shining down on a pavement wet with rain . . . A headlight cutting the fog of twilight. The smell of grass in the early morning. The tuning-up of the violins at Robin Hood Dell: A violin note Cries out in the night, ' Whining to the air, and the trees and the sky. Rejoicing in its existence . . . Prolonging itself . . . And the spell it weaves. Pink smoke, against a black sky . . . swirling smoke combed gently by the wind as the long, loose hair of a young girl running into the breeze . . . Silver rails . . . stretching silently into the night , . . ribbon railsfmerg- ing into one. And the nine-o'clock local reels by. The thrill of a first ride on a roller coaster at Woodside . . . the barker at a carnival . . . the Thin Man at the circus. THE CIRCUS: Way, way up on top of the world, looking down over movement and people: crunching popcorn, finding the prize at the end of a box of cracker-jack. , Walking through a sea of unbroken snow -opalescent and crusty under an icy sun. Singing in the bathtub. Reading the papers in bed on Sunday morning. A cigarette being lit in the rain . . . The faint, moist whiffs of smoke curlingethereally under the brim of a slouched hat. It means candle flame and firelight . . . dancing shadows and dying embers. It means American institutions and tradi- tion: The seventh-inning stretch. Civil War Speakers on Memorial Day . . . The crisp, rust-red geraniums on caked mounds of un- known soldiers . . . fire-crackers and pin- wheels an The Fourth, American Slan- guage . . . fair play, square play, a slap on the back, a shake of the hand . . . opportuni- ties. Irving Berlin, Eddie Cantor-Guy Lom- bardo, Iessel and Gershwin: sons of lower east-side Horatio Alger stories- poor boy returns wallet-becomes director of Wall Street firm-marries Boss' daughter-pronto! President of the company . . . The authors-the heroes-the poets, artists, statesmen of American Labor con- troversies . . . political parties , . . the news- paper-with Dorothy Thompson . . . Samuel Grafton . . . Westbrook Pegler . . . My Day . . . Dorothy Dix and Parker and the ads all For Him or For Her. . . . lt means 1775 . . . 1812. . . 1846 . . . 1861 . . . 1898 . . . and . . . Pearl Harbor. Being con- scious of the Four Freedoms. So this is My American landscape-and heritage. A pattern of life-a repetition of feelings: seeing the same familiar faces, shapes and buildings in any city or town: feeling the thrill of getting acquainted. Feel- ing that I am part of the pattern, one thread that is woven about a center motif of in- dependence, initiative and the fight for free- dom. America means to me all these things -not a painters portrait of blue, grey hills, fertile plains and jagged coasts. But a por- trait of people-looking up to the sky, recog- nizing that in America there will always be a limitless opportunity to go as far-to rise as high as courage, strength and ability can take me. .mf wrumdy pg gm 34-45 mf, the following, being of sound mind and body, proofs of which are our diplomas, do hereby set forth these items to be left to the following trustees: HENRIETTA MARION and ALBERTA NASS IANE CATTELL IEANNE LEVIN and ALICE LEVIN MIRIAM MARINOFF CHARLOTTE MEINEL NATALIE BROMBERG NANCY WIENER DOLORES NESTOR MARILYN FLEISI-IER PAULINE FREEZMAN LOUISE LUTZ IRENE Di RAGO MORDE BLOOM IOSEPI-IINE CAIRONE RITA SHERMAN HARRIETTE ELKINS IOYCE-ANNE LEWIS MYRTLE EDITH ABRAMSON CLAIRE LEVY RUTH MONDELBLATT ELAINE CASTLEMAN ANNABELLE LEE PEGGY I-IANSON MICHAEL MAICHER sY1.v1A OBERMAN BERNARD DORA PISHBEIN We leave Shakespeare's five great tragedies to future Gratzonians, and hope that they enjoy them as much as we did.

ANN PRIZANT wp!! dlwfupi im Continued from Page 27 at Gratz, our sponsor had been very active in arranging and presenting different ideas and schedules to our class, through the elected officers. Her pleasant smile and per- sonality, together with her interest in our affairs, made Miss Murr an outstanding sponsor. We thank you, Miss Murr, for your patience and devotion to 34-'45. After looking forward since the beginning of our high school years to our prom, with fingers crossed in' hopes of securing dates fdue to the manpower shortagel, the great event finally announced itself. Our prom was held at the Adelphia Hotel on May 25, 1945. The spring pastels and white of the beauti- ful girls, together with their fine looking escorts and typical May weather, made this evening a very memorable one. Many of our fellow seniors were unable to attend, but those who did, will never forget the excite- ment which that wonderful evening brought. June 14, too, was a day which time will only glorify-Senior Day. The cherry and white were worn proudly by 300 over- thrilled seniors who were displaying the spring and summer fashions of '45, We were tingling with the satisfaction that this was our last day, and yet, some of us had tears in our eyes as we sang, The Victory Song' I leave my adding machine to the next class treasurer. 1 and Hail Gratz High. Our class clay parties in the lunchrooms were merry and loud: Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, and oh! so full of joy! Our Class Day program was excellent with a star-studded cast from 34- '45. Some acts were hilariousg the songs, sweet. A very well planned banquet at McCal- lister's was our next IZB event, and all who attended enjoyed both the dinner and the excellent program which had been ar- ranged. A wonderful dance and private parties followed, and then -- Graduation-the climax of our high school days. Nothing appeared to be so beautiful in our eyes as our lune commencement- the roses, our gowns, the pressed suits, and the procession. We were a large group of individuals who had been united through our high school experience. No ties were binding us physically, yet, each person felt a tie to his neighbor-the tie of friendship. We were high school students-now, we are a part of the Gratz Alumni, who are going to prove to ourselves that we have what it takes to succeed. Thank you, Gratz, thank you for everything! We leave, but we take these little memories with us to brighten our future years.

Any success in our activities has been primarily due to our training here at Gratz, in the fundamentals oi cooperation and respect for the ideas and views of others. Naturally, putting into practice one's laiowledge and beliefs is essential in leam- ing to work together, and so our class has been active in suc- cessfully planning and working out dances, club and commit- tee activities. assembly and special class-day programs, and the many other activities that have con- ,nm .,-,A A stituted our high school career. As the second war class of Simon Gratz, we have also contributed our bit by success- fully attaining many war drive goals.

MCALLISTER Sponsor of Students Association Everyone from Gratz is familiar with the work of the Students Association. Through the untiring efforts of its leaders, many benefits have reached us. By possess- ing an S. A. card, we have been entitled to admission to various dances, movies, etc., which have been presented by the Students' Association during our stay in Gratz. Under the leadership of Miss McAllister, with Dick Miller as our student leader, the S. A. has carried on its work most success- fully throughout the past term. As long as we have been students of Gratz we have been aware, very much aware, of the existence of this association. Through it, we have received many of the things that will live in our memories even after we are through with dances and other things which now seem to us of utmost im- portance. Our life at Gratz has been made more enjoyable by the untiring efforts of our chosen leaders, for which we thank them, and for which We will remember them. yzlffsimgywmflm wma Jaw f I RICHARD MILLER-PRESIDENT OF STUDENTS ASSOCIATION Dick has very appropriately been termed best politician of our graduating class. He has served as Associate Iudge, Vice Presi- dent, and President of the Students Associa- tion. Dick has worked very hard and very well for the benefit of his school. He pro- vided many activities for the students while serving on various class and school com- mittees. One of his outstanding characteristics is his faithful attitude toward responsibilities. It could never be said that Dick left any task unfinished. It is this quality that will distin- guish him as one of the finest presidents of the Students Association. His classmates Will always remember him as the fellow who had a humorous answer for any question or situation. It is with pride that We think of Dick Miller, our president and fellow graduate. To my friends and fellow classmates of the thirty-fourth class of the Simon Gratz High School: Although I have spent only two years of my high school life as a member of the class of 34-'45, they were filled with pleasant memories I shall cherish forever. Whenever we will be in the mood for reminiscence of our school life, we will bring forth our Record Book again, and fingering through the pages, recall our happy days in high school. I am thankful for the opportunity I was given to write this message. I can never be thankful enough for having been your classmate and friend, and for the wonderful school spirit and cooperation you showed while I was serving you as an officer. Let this be an ever- lasting symbol of my appreciation and may you always enjoy success and contentment, and find peace of mind. Being a member of the Class of 34-'45 was one of the most interesting experiences of my life. RICHARD MILLER, President Since the founding ot the Students As- sociation in 1927, the Senate has been a very busy and industrious group. Each term new members are elected to every position in this body. Because we do have a change every term in oilicers, plans must be made and inaugurated, with little Waste of time. When this student government was started, the main idea was to organize and maintain a group of leaders to make laws beneficial to the school democracy. lt took several years and many changes to establish a well lunc- Bottom Row: Dolores Hubbard.

Each Senate usually has its own original ideas for activities to interest the students, as in the past, dances, movies, clubs, and assemblies have been stressed. This term the Senate has worked hard on these tive points and has met with a great deal ot success. The Senate of the Spring l945, thanks Miss McAllister and every loyal Gratzonian for their splendid cooperation throughout the term. Herbert Chandler. Iohn Caterson, Adele Bobst, Iohn McGuire.

Sessions are held in the S. A. office, at which offenders are tried and penalized. Our court has worked hard to make Simon Gratz a better place to live. Campaigns for improvements in cleanliness of the corridors and lunchrooms have gradually brought up our standards. We, the members of the thirty-fourth graduating class, are deeply grateful to the members of the court for the work they have accomplished during their terms of office. We realize that at times, theirs was a thank- less task. But we are now aware of this, and as we- look back on our high school days, we will always remember our Iudges and what they have accomplished. Bottom Row: Annabelle Lee. Sidney Allen. Elsye Adams.

These words describe the spirit which have characterized the Students' Association now looked upon as the very essence of school life and a tradition which is cherished by those participating in its functions. Many the world over have been, in these war-infested years, deprived of a proper voice in their re- spective governing bodies. At Gratz, we first realized those cherished experiences of par- ticipating in a democracy in which We, the students, were its citizens. Under the sponsorship of Miss McAllister, whose keen understanding of youth and helpful guidance has characterized her suc- cessful years of service to the students of Gratz, the Students' Association has pro- gressed. Most of the activities conducted under the auspices of the Students' Association have been connected with the war effort. The stu- dents have shown their realization of the importance of the present conflict by aiding in many community drives and by support- 12B REPRESENTATIVES. Bottom Row: Margaret Sell.

Among these are the War Committee, headed by Mr. Mitchael Goll, the Waste Paper and Tin Can Salvage Committees under the chair- manship of Mr. Henri Morin and many others which are under the jurisdiction of the Victory Corps, supervised by Dr, Walter Howarth. The success of these committees and various drives, doubled tenfold through- out the country, have kept our own home front in close Working harmony with the far- flung battlefields and War-torn nations of the world. Our students have also been conscious of those less fortunate members of our society, and the success which was made in Red Cross drives, War Chest drives, and those drives in connection with the infantile Paralysis Association have been notable. As we fthe class of 343457 look back upon our school years in which the Students' As- sociation and the ever-present S. A. card played such an important role, we can feel rightfully proud of this organization which helped contribute so much to the war effort and which has imbued us with the sense of our responsibility to our democracy and the world.

It has demonstrated its superiority many times in competition with other school bands largely because of its superlative marching order, formations and playing ability. This superiority is clearly shown at Gala Night, assemblies, football games, and all other functions in which the band is active. Our band, as it parades onto the football field clad in the cherry and white uniforms that represent our school colors, is indeed an inspiring sight to the crowds before which they demonstrate their outstanding talents. -M0104 M. gm tml! At the head of this magnificent spectacle marches the color guard which completes the picture of our band. However, we must not forget the many hours spent by the students and their direc- tor in preparing for these programs. Rigid discipline, constant practice, and regular drills are the keystone around which the band has been built. Therefore, as a symbol of our gratitude, we wish to extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Alec Washco, the drum majorettes, the color guard, and to all of the students who have contributed their time and talents to help make the band as fine as it is. May our band flourish forever.

Although they played very hard and lost some heart- breakers, this served only to enhance and augment their growing determination to win. Due to inexperience and their failure to capitalize on certain scoring opportuni- ties, victory always managed to elude our grasp. There was that thrilling moment when Wertz carried the ball to the very threshold of Northeast's goal, but We failed to score. The pride of accomplishment promoted self-- confidence and produced initiative and re- sourcefulness as the season progressed. Lengths to which these characteristics can drive and aid a team are graphically illus- trated in the thirteen points registered against Olney in the Turkey Day Classic. It was the good fortune of U34-'45 to be represented on such a tenacious aggrega- tion by individuals whose performances mir- rored the spirit of the entire team. Andy Wertz, in the baclcfield, was an excellent broken field runner and, in going around the ends, he was superb. On the line there was charging Stanley Kurowski, who con- stantly maintained heavy pressure on the FOOTBALL, First Row: Kochmer, Sparks. Fisk. Wertz. Yergey, Cimini. Bell. Middle Row: Ashmore.

With such play- ers on the team as Donald Muce, who pos- sessed an almost uncanny knack of sinking the ball in the basket from almost any sec- tion of the court, and Uhl, Kochmer and Kosek, much success was anticipated for this very promising organization. But due to lack of reserves and the team's failure to master certain plays, it fell short of expecta- tions. lt is to be noted, however, that, with the exception of Central, the scores of our opponents were relatively low, and that it was not until after graduation had claimed most of the boys mentioned above that they began to rise. ln spite of these handicaps, the team played on undaunted and gener- Howard Dossiclz, Sidney Levis.

It was the privilege of U34-35 to be represented on the team by Bernie Kuchuk, who accounted for many of the field goals we scored, and whose deft handling of the ball and fancy footwork greatly aided our cause. Future prospects for our team look very well indeed, especially since Mr. Shegog has instituted intra-school basketball competi- tion in an attempt to unearth hidden talent. Perhaps, next year will see our team display- ing the championship form of our nineteen thirty-nine quintet. Although our team was able to subdue only one opponent, we are proud that it showed determination and sportsmanship, and that it upheld the highest traditions of our school. z6'auball BASEBALL.

Although it was predicted before the start of the season that our baseball team wouldn't amount to much, our team did re- markably well. Led by Captain Dutch Roland we proved ourselves to be a very outstanding and formidable nine. Listed on the roster of this team were slugging Dill Ried, dependable Hal Spada and strike out twirler Bob Yergey. The Bulldogs opened the season by losing a heartbreaker to German- town by a score 7-6 and then we werehjolted by Frankford 14-2. Then our boys showed that courage and determination composed no small part of their spirits when on the re- bound they beat Franklin 2-1 and routed Central 6-2.

While the season was in progress we observed many moments when our pitching was superb and there were many exhibitions of magnificent field- ing. There were many incidents that will make this season an excellent one for the records. The most thrilling moment was when Dill Ried stepped to the plate against Rox- borough in the ninth and blasted out a home run with two aboard to decide the game in our favor. The score for that one was 9-5. The remainder of the season had its bright and dismal spots but whether or not we were outplayed we were never outfought. The team deserves our praise for upholding the athletic standards of the school most dear to them. ,Safran Our Bulldog booters finished a very fine season in spite of the fact that they were hindered by lack of reserves and other fac- tors. The team is coached by Mr. Ioseph Schweitzer and led by Captain Doug Adey- lote. lt tied two games and finished fifth in league standing. The class of 34-45 was very ably represented on the team by Doug Adeylote whose stellar performance netted him a place on the all Public High team.

Seldom do we find a team whose members are capable of dem- onstrating the versatility and the all around playing ability that our team has demon- strated over and over again under the cad pable guidance of Mr. Oser. lt was indeed a tremendous surprise for all of us when their bid for a fifth successive title was repulsed, although they established a fine record in all their matches. The tennis team won sec- ond place in both the Public High and lnter- scholastic Leagues and the distance between them and the top was indeed extremely small. Led by Captain Sam Handel, the Cherry and White ran roughshod over LaSalle, St, loseph's, West Catholic, Olney, Germantown, Central, Roxborough, North! east, and Frankford. Only George School and West Philly were able to stem the tide of the Bulldog onslaught and the matches involving these two teams were a spectators' paradise.

His deeds and ability will long be remembered by the school to which he brought credit and honor. He won thirty-three out of thirty-four matches during his three years at Gratz, and he was feared and respected by every player in the league, ln the season preceding his gradua- tion, he was undefeated. Alan Oser occu pied the number two spot on the team, and his performance in winning twenty-nine out of thirty-four matches during the season is indicative of the caliber of our team. Others on the team who shared in the team's suce cess were Captain-elect Stan Meyers, Big Bill Rush, and Badman Al Block. These boys have promised to bring the bacon back to Gratz this year, and are practicing already to make this feat possible.

Since the establishment of our school, we have seen a marked improvement in the field of athletics, This has been true par- ticularly in girls' sports. We girls are proving that we are not the weaker sex, and we really enjoy working and playing together. When competitive sports were organized, we approved whole- heartedly, Now we play teams of other schools in several sports. These clubs and teams were started dur- ing afterschool hours, under the supervision and sponsorship of teachers in our Physical Education Department. Besides playing girls of other schools, we formed class teams in order to play other girls in the lower grades. This was a very popular activity and enjoyed by all. During our three year stay at Gratz, We have modernized athletics. Not only do we play volleyball, basketball, and softball, but we now have bowling, hockey, and swim- ming, l On Monday afternoons interested specta- tors can come up to the Kensington Y to watch the girls' swimming club, under the direction of Miss Eleanor Vogt, of the gym department. You can always hear Miss Vogt Anne Prizant, Bernice Spires, Anne Meehan, Olga Rossi. Top Row: Helen Baral, Grace Dearlove. Elaine Stecker. Shirley Portnoy, Lea Goldman, Margaret Sell, lane Cattell, Doris Baer, Toby Silverman. calling, Swimmers ready-on your marke- GO! , and then4Splash. The team has had meets with Frankford, Bartram, and South Philadelphia. Although we lost these meets, we showed enthusiasms, good sportsmanship, and even good swim- mers. There are about twenty-five girls in the club. Those in 12B are Ruth Steinberg, lane Cattell, lean Albert, Doris Baer, Carolyn Archambault, and leanne Selis. We girls have a great deal of fun splashing around in the Kensington Y's chlorine. Swimming is a great sport, and we've all enjoyed the club, Thank you, Miss Vogt, One of the more important events was the examination given to leaders, with the awarding of the L to girls who received 90 points out of a possible 100. A few of the other events were, the organizing of a bowl- ing team under the guidance of Miss Vogt, and the forming of two volleyball teams, under the supervision of Miss FitzGerald. This term, our last in Gratz, will be a sor- rowful one for us, because we must leave the school where we had so much pleasure in so many various fields, especially in Girls' Athletics. D. F.
