Gratz High School-how much that means to us! It has been our school home for three years. We have conquered much that is behind the doors of our beloved school and now new doors lie before us. It is lor decisions to come that our high school experiences have prepared us. There are many memories that are bound together in our Record Book-the many new friendships: our hard-worked-for A's, B's. and C's: the thrill oi the pep assemblies, and those breath-taking touchdowns. On our high school days we turn our backs. but our hearts, never. In mem- ory they will always live. Not until we understand ourselves and translate what we are into temls of life. do we really begin our education. As a mater of fact. growth can come about in no other way than through re-education every day ol our lives. 5, I 6 b29f5f,1ig4'221uv?W'fY '1 V'- V vw f 1 'lvwwiul' ,ef-si - ' ' -' .- . - k A ly , M Ei' F DEDICATION Dedicaled to Rebecca Gratz, Q distinguished and lovable Philadelphia philanthropist Principal TO THE CLASS OF IUNE 1948 Ralph Waldo Emerson, the New England poet and essayist, once wrote The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education, but the means of education. The significance and full meaning of this statement are not always understood by students, who may confuse the true meaning of education with outward forms. Education is not a commodity to be bought for a price, neither does it result from the cramming of subject matter in order to pass examinations. All the things we teach in the Simon Gratz High School, as well as all of our extra-curricular activities, are but the means of education. All the many ex- periences and influences which have been part of your school life in these happy high school years have been means to develop, guide, and inspire you. That is the function of the curriculum and these activities. The growth and the development of your personality and your individual abilities is the real education. You have now completed twelve years of public schooling and have met the requirements prescribed by the Board of P'ublic Education for a high school diploma. . I wish to congratulate you on achieving this goal and I want to extend to you my best wishes for your success and happiness. , ' Sincerely yours, E. Carl Werner Principal To the Class of 40-48 Congratulations on the successful completion of your high school edu- cation. Remembering that the formal exer- cises which mark this completion are known as Commencement, may each one of you begin a career that will be successful and satisfying and charac- terized by a willingness to play your part in achieving a better world. You have my very good wishes. i Sincerely, lane McCleary Vice-Principals As you embark upon the serious busi- ness of life, may l suggest that you carry with you from this school the idea that the things you want can only be secured by the same kind of hard work you did in school to graduate. Wishful thinking is not a means to an end, but it is useful within limita- tions. It may be used to delineate your objective, outline your processes, and give direction to your efforts: but suc- cess can come only through effort. May all of you enjoy your successes and minimize your failures so that your life- and the lives of those near you may be happy and fruitful.

We were not returning to the junior high we had attended in Iune. nor to the friends and teachers we had found there. It was somewhat exciting, a sort of new adventure. As we gathered in the auditorium that first day we were aware of an entirely new phase of life being unfolded before us, a life in which the hopes, ambitions, and experi- ences of our school lives were to intermingle in such a way as to affect each and every student. We were greeted by Dr. Woerner, who impressed us as being a most tolerant and understanding person, and as the years passed these first impressions strengthened into realities. Mr. Cassels, our amiable class sponsor, was also on hand to welcome his fledglings. His charming smile and cordial welcome made us feel more like high sen- iors rather than the freshmen we were. Never can we forget those first few days of school or the lost feeling that accompanied them: however, we were clever frosh who learned quickly and before long were taking an active part in school activities. Arthur Crouthamel was elected to represent us in the Senate, and we scored a high percentage in S. A. membership. Our school spirit was high, and we remember vividly how, be- decked in school colors, we cheered our football team on. After drifting hazily through that term, in IDB we considered ourselves old hands, since there was now present in the school a class we could look down upon. Fully ac- X S 1 Zimmerman U7- quainted with our system ot petitioning, we elected Irma Margolis as our second sena- tor. It was during this term that we were in- troduced to Color Day, which proved quite impressive as we strutted about displaying our class day buttons. Basketball followed football, and as spring made her debut we found ourselves supporting the baseball team, as well as duplicating our interest in the S. A. and A. A. Yes, as our 10B term came. to an end we felt we were quite in the groove when it came to school. ln September, 1946, our junior year, the half-way mark of our school careers was reached. Studies increased in magnitude. d. Ar t it tl2Bl. NO' Plcwe B? S Bu.

New and more complicated subjects were introduced into the course of study. The llA term brought a school government po- sition to Shirley Small and Burt Silverman, who were elected to the Senate. Recognition was also given to our very talented classmates who performed excel- lently in the fall production ot the Cat and the Canary. Perhaps this was due to the fact that they monopolized most ot the lead- ing parts in the play. After eagerly anticipating a victory tor our football team, our desires were an- swered, on a brisk Thanksgiving Day. Yes, the annual Turkey Day classic gave Gratz a 19-6 victory over the Trojans, as tive thousand fans witnessed the Bulldogs' first conquest of league competition, a victory which boosted the Bulldogs from the cellar to a three-way tie for sixth place in the final league standing.

Her responsibilities and duties keep her always on the move. She is well liked because of her patience and sympathetic understanding. Not only does she arrange for the various graduation activities, but she is present at all meetings of the S. A. and House of Rep- resentatives. She directs all elections and various drives which are sponsored by the school and our Students association. Among the many fond memories of our Alma Mater, there will always be a place for Miss Laura M. McAllister, our very able sponsor.

Student Association The Students Association originated for the purpose of stimulating and developing school spirit, encouraging participation in school activities, promoting personal initia- tive and cooperation, and preparing us more fully for an understanding of our national democracy. Our Constitution provides for a Senate, headed by a President: a Supreme Court, presided over by a Chief Iusticeg and a House of Representatives, composed of mem- bers chosen by the students of each advi- sory section. Each section is entitled to one Representative in the House. Other ser- vices are rendered by the Six Footers and Five Foot Femmes. MICHAEL I. LOPUSZANSKI S. A. President One of the governing bodies of the Stu- dents Association is the Senate, composed of one boy and one girl from each of the four upper classes. The President of the S. A. is the presiding officer, who is elected by a majority vote of the students. It has the power to direct and control stu- dent activities. Proposed regulations and laws must first be voted upon by this body, then by the House of Representatives, before they can become official laws. HELEN M.

It gave us a most hearty musical welcome the day We entered and now, at commence- ment, a most appropriate farewell. Many of the 40-48 class have had the honor and privilege of participating in its activities. Many times it has won first place in inter- scholastic contests' because of excellent marching ability, unusual formation, and in- strumental skill. There have been many appearances at public parades and gatherings. We have all enjoyed the playing at football games, gala nights, and assemblies. We, the Class of 40-48, extend our deep appreciation to the director, Dr. Alex Washco, the drum maiorettes, the color guard, and to all students who contributed their valuable time and talents to make our band one oi the best.

Front Row Bernice Seidman, Esthelle Weisman, Gloria Gisondi Myra Glauser, Georgia Townsend. Society Miss Bertha E. Voigt was our first sponsor. The Society was formed to improve the scho- larship of the school and make for a greater appreciation of scholastic excellence. Two basic services undertaken are tutoring and conference aid, which can be applied for at the Guidance Office. To become eligible for membership, a stu- dent must uphold a scholastic average of 85 or above and be outstandingly active in extra-curricular activities. The Honors Com- mittee is the sponsoring body. It consists of one faculty member from each department, headed by Dr. M. David Hoffman. This committee stresses the importance of main- taining scholarship and reserves the right to disqualify members. Rebecca Gratz was chosen as the name of the Chapter and we soon became affiliated with the National Honor Society. Later, the group obtained a charter and now proudly wears the emblem of the torch, the symbol of the National Honor Society. Through our several drives faculty and students have donated over 1093 articles and S5150 for the aid of European schools. ln the fall term of 1947, Miss Elizabeth Fulton was named as the new sponsor since Miss Voigt had left the school. The first beautiful and impressive Candlelight Cere- mony, now the formal induction ceremony for all new members, was staged. Members of the Class of 40-48 inducted at this time were: Donald Berman, Arthur Crouthamel, Gloria Gisondi, Myra Glauser, Francis Lap- inski, Gertrude Pollard, Andrew Quiroli, Bernice Seidman, Georgia Townsend, Ger- aldine Weinraub, and Estelle Weisman. The Class of 40-48 wishes the Rebecca Gratz Chapter many years of continued success. Dramatics DRAMATICS As we depart from Gratz, we take with us the memory of our Dramatic Club.

Paced Q V by rapid Les Graves and Bull McCollum, h and ably supported by Homan, Swann, Las , Scurry, Romisher, Hampton, Goodman, Korone on the line, plus the services of Cha- Vis, Weston, and Cellars in the backlield the team made good progress. Gratz bulldogs really put on a show every time they played. The game that was thought most nerve-racking was the Bartram game.

Again 40-48 placed its share oi G-Men: Burt Silverman, Babe Brockman, Bob Far- anda, and Iohn Balch. Even with many of the team graduating Gratz will still produce its share of ball clubs. The 1948 season started off with a bang, Delbert Marshall, David McGinley, Richard McMaster, Harry Morrison, Robert Nathan, Fred Ochs, Donald Paine, Robert Perloff, Iohn Reck, Burt Silverman, Earl Starr, Dr. Alec Washco, Coach. and Gratz defeated a well-seasoned Central nine. Behind the 4 hit pitching oi lack Lar- son, Gratz took it 4-1. After the conventional 7 innings, it was all tied up l-1. Entering the beginning of the 8th inning, Gratz rallied to score 3 runs to coup the victory. The coming season promises to be a suc- cessful one for Gratz if Coach, Dr. Wascho, continues to keep then playing this style of ball.

Led by high scorer ot the league, Burt Silverman, Gratz won six and lost eight games. There were six men of the 40-48 Class on the team, including Burt Silverman, Moe Ostrow, Meyer Shulick, Babe Brock- man, Charlie Chavis, and Bob Faranda. The hoopmen were greatly cheered at home, which may have accounted for many of their winnings. Mr. George Shegog was their able coach and proved his worthiness by aiding the team in their six victories. The climax of the season was reached in the last game with Central. Silverman, going into the game with 314 points, needed 23 to tie Stan Brown's public scoring record of 337 points. He did, with plenty to spare, by ending up his season with 345 points. urton Silverman 'lu Standing: E. Niewodowski, N. Nickolson, R. Hynes, Finizzio, S. Goodman, A. Kroser. Kneeling: I. McGinley, S.

They were coached by a former graduate and soccer player, Pete Lorenc. Pete really taught the boys how to kick the ball around. Let's get to the Girard College game. Girard College, one ot the best teams in the city, managed to tie Gratz in the last three minutes. We didn't win the game, but it was certainly a great moral victory for us. With only one man graduating, Bob Far- anda, Pete Lorenc will have a good nucleus to work with for next year. Here's hoping the scores read ten wins, no losses, and no ties tor next year. Tennis TENNIS TEAM Although not living up to past years, the Gratz Racqueteers won four and lost eight. Marv Silverman and Don Raske were the two seniors on the team. Mr. Ioseph Oser was their coach again, and he greatly aided the team with his coaching skill. There are many men back from last year. We hope with the help ot these to again give Gratz a winning team. Buck Row: Iohn Olsen, Mr. Oser, Coach: Bernard Bishop. Front Row: L. Prince, Donald Raske, Marvin Silverman. CROSS COUNTRY After a lapse of ten years, the Cross Coun- try Team has been reorganized by coach, Ioseph Schweitzer. The present senior class was well represented, including Donald Simms, Charles Cooper, Iohn Gatgounis, and Torn Welsh. Since the major portion of the team con- sists of lower classmen, we can be assured of another winning Cross Country Team. Top L Littlepohn F Williams L Williams L Smith I Gatqounis, I.

These gym meets were a novelty to the school and were well attended. There are some undergraduates on the team. These, with a good turnout next year, may once again bring home the bacon for Simon Gratz. f l X 'lx ,, sffieffji- rf ' X 1 N - Q' ' Ji 1 1 1 1-lendren Dolores M- d Marion 'lucxer thy Peace mane R :Haze ' I h MCCur Y. h on Doro rBT1ibarjdvBulmer.

Greetings to the Class of Iune, 1948: The three years we have spent together as Class and Sponsor have been most interesting. lust yesterday you were curiously finding your way into the Auditorium, recent graduates of some five or six Iunion High Schools. Today you are about to leave the same Auditorium to enter a broader and larger school, the school of the great world of which we are all a part. To work with you has been very enjoyable. You all entered so whole- heartedly into the projects of the class. A feeling of good will permeated all of your activities. Your officers and committees played their parts willingly and well. The class responded to their leadership. lt is a grand class. As you leave us, We trust that you will come back to tell us of your future successes. Many of you will go far. It is our desire to keep in touch with you all. Plan to meet from time to ti me as the years pass. Carry into the world your enthusiasm and loyalty. The world needs it-and it needs you. Always give the best that is in ou K , y . eep your ideals high and retain your courage. To all of you, l extend my best wishes. Roland Cassels, Class Sponsor. Class Sponsor IOSEPHINE A. MARSCHALL Class OHICCTS SHIRLEY SMALL CLASS PRESIDENT It has been an honor to belong to the Class of 40-48 and a real pleasure to serve it. The officers received excellent coopera- tion from the students, and the spirit of the class in all its projects has proven it one of the best classes ever. This willingness to serve has afforded the officers and commit- tee chairmen the necessary incentive to Work and fulfill their duties efficiently. As president of the class, I feel I am speak- ing for every member when I say Thank you, 40-48, for three of the most wonderful years of my life. MYRA GLAUSER Class Secretary Class President BURTON D. SILVERMAN Vice-President. Class Treasurer, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 The Weeks passed quickly and before we knew it We were members of the llB class and a step closer to our final goal, gradua- tion. To govern us, we had not only senators this term, but judges also. Shirley Rosenberg and Robert Dumas were elected as senators. Shirley Small and Donald Raske were elected to the court as judges. Things con- tinued much in the same pattern. Many of our classmates took an active part in the extra curricular activities offered, and it was not unusual to find them among the leaders of the group. Summer passed and again a group of young people gathered in the vicinity of l7th and Luzerne Streets. Yes, the years had passed quickly, and as we entered the building recalling in our memories those frightened little freshmen we once had been we smiled, for in their places we now stood as seniors. During this term the entire school buzzed with excitement. The very halls echoed with festivity. It was Gratz's 20th anniver- sary and a celebration was to take place. Many of our classmates took important parts in the various activities, the most important Washington Trip being the play, Spirit of Gratz High. The long-awaited Washington Trip also was on the program for 12A and proved to be the most outstanding class event of the entire term. We shall never forget that memorable occasion nor the experiences that accompanied it. Even the downpour of rain did not hinder its success. WASHINGTON TRIP All aboard came the shout of the con- ductor as one of the most memorable events of our high school careers started under way. Almost immediately lunch boxes of every describable size and shape came into view, disclosing everything from sandwiches to sour pickles. Groups of happy students gathered in various sections of the train, and soon the air was filled with the voices of excited young people enjoying themselves. Many were contented, however, to stare out into the passing countryside, which was aglow in flaming autumn colors. It was one of these students who noticed the darkening sky: and, to our dismay, by the time we arrived at Laurel, Md., rain was falling. ' 'Mimi' 'WT' f 'i,:t. -f y Xt- 'V' Slightly disappointed at nature's pranks, we hurried into five buses, which were wait- ing to take us to the Capitol. Our drivers were witty and full of fun besides being greatly informative: and soon the tenseness originating in the weather disappeared, and again joy and excitement prevailed. Riding down Pennsylvania Avenue, we saw the Capitol for the first time. The dome glowed white as it appeared against the murky sky. Once arrived inside the build- ing, we were ushered about the historic halls by special guides. It was on the steps of the Capitol building that we took our group picture. ' Our itinerary then included the Smith- sonian Institute and the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, where we watched enormous sums of paper money and bonds being printed. We were informed, however, that no free samples could be obtained. Next on the program was the Lincoln Memorial. We entered the temple-like shrine, strongly aware that the size dwarfed us greatly. The giant statue of the beloved American smiled down at us and toward the hills where the North and South embraced. .. . a Across the reflecting lake the Washington Monument cast its shadow. We were at Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, when the rain came down in all its glory. Although we were stranded here in the most peculiar places, we managed to wade back to our buses, where the most unusual hairdos and cloth- ing effects were being created, shall we say, because of the slightly damp weather. The buses then splashed their way into the Arlington Cemetery. The few who wished to brave the storm left the buses. Running and slipping, we edged our way up the hill to our goal, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. There we stood, iust a few unim- portant kids in the teeming rain, so that we could honor him. We didn't know who he was or to what race or religion he had belonged. The wreath we had carried from home 'was placed beside the grave. Then taps sounded and the tears of many mixed with the rain streaming down their faces. Across the Potomac River, the lights of the Capitol shone, the Capitol he had died to defend .... Washington Trip A happy wet group of Gratzonians rushed for the waiting train, which slowly sped its way into the night. We were informed by a friendly colored porter that supper was being served in the dining-car. The turkey was good, but many were too tired and excited to eat. During the meal, one student-was extremely surprised by the porter's rush. She had hardly finished the platter when it vanished before her eyes. The porter un- doubtedly Was in a hurry. Supper over, we settled once again in our seats, just tired, happy kids, drowsily thinking over the series of events that had taken place that day. Had a swell time, huh, Harvey? we said to our invisible rabbit friend whom only a few were able to see. You betcha, came cr voice from nowhere as the train whistle called into the darkness. It was during this term that Michael Lopu- zanski and Mary Katona were elected to the top positions of Vice Presidents. Repre- senting 40-48 in our student qovernment we sent Theresa LoPresti and Donald Raske to the senate and Irma Margolis and William Ketler to the court, while Shirley Small and Burton Silverman were elected as our class officers. Our 12B term not only made our classmate Burt Silverman a senior, but brought fame to this star athlete. By scoring 345 points, Bur- ton succeeded in breaking the record set by Stan Brown to become High Scorer in the High School Basketball League. The 40-48 class contributed to the govern- ment of the Students' Association these of- ficers: President, Michael Lopuzanskig Chief Iustice, Helen Mushinskig Senators, Shirley Rosenburg and Iohn Balchy Associate Iudges, Dorothy Boone and Iohn Gatgounis. Our studies increased, the climax coming with the announcement that our vocational theses were due. The proverbial midnight oil was burned frequently during our last term. And, finally the Prom arrived. On May 7th several hundred gay young people gathered at the Old York Road Country Club and danced from nine until one o'clock to make the Prom the most successful of social events. Although We were accustomed to symphonic music, our aesthetic tastes did not in the least bit revolt against the popular rhythms which were supplied by the dance orchestra. Senior Day caused many a gay young miss to Search anxiously through her ward- robe for an appropriate red and white cos- tume and many a lad to endure red and white bow ties for a whole day. No one seemed to mind, however, and red and White ribbons decorated every loyal senior. Our banquet was held at McCallister's on the evening of Iune 17th, and even as we picked up the knives and forks which aided us in dispatching the meal we could not help but feel sad that our high school careers were coming to an end. Finally, commencement. With mingled feelings of joy and sorrow We approached the final curtain. Our High School episode had come to an end . . . the Eaglets' wings were strong enough now to learn to fly. BSTELLE I.. WEISMAN C. LEVEY Editors mms sums:-:n 5? SARA C. BORTNICK MARILYN GOODIS RISM.

Committees PROM COMMITTEE That glorious night of May 7th is some- thing all of us will remember for many years to come, and we owe those pleasant mem- ories to the efforts of the Prom Committee, under the auspices of Irma Margolis. After three short meetings, the decision to have the Prom at the Old York Road Coun- try Club was unanimously agreed upon. A group of six went to the Club to make all the arrangements, and it was very well managed indeed. Thanks to Irma and her entire com- mittee for their grand work in making our prom such a huge success.

Committees PIN COMMITTEE It was a great day when our class and the members of the Pin Committee iinally agreed on a class mascot. Every class that graduates from Gratz tries to make its pin the most outstanding, and it is always Worn proudly by the seniors. In one month a pin design was chosen, pins were ordered, and sold to the satisfac- tion ot the class and the pin committee. The design of Patsy Walker and Buzz' was a fine choice, and expertly drawn by Victoria Gregoriew. Miss Laura M. McAllister, our S. A. spon- sor, deserves a vote of thanks for her help in securing the pins. With the wearing of our pins came a great deal of pride, since the lower classman al- ways looked up to us, for we were seniors at last. Not only did the pins show the under- graduates that we were seniors, but also served to remind them that if they worked diligently enough, they, too, would reach this goal. Now, that we have graduated, we'll tuck our pins away, along with the other happy little remembrances of our stay at Gratz.

Carl Werner Recessional- Victory March Ighnsgn if - Farewell During our last three years in school, we have experienced many events- some important and others seemingly trivial. All of them have contributed in some way to making a well-rounded education. Gratz has come to mean more than book-learning to us. Not only mental development, but physical and social progress were encouraged, and valuable experiences gained in activities beyond the classroom. This opportunity in education becomes our debt to the citizens of Philadel- phia. The paying of that debt now remains for us alone. Our sincere appreciation and thanks to all who helped so generously with the Record Book. , NY' , X '- f K . -f Q ..' r il tx ,, hxfxaxvxx ,,, gl'?.X.l x x U x -on MAX'S MEAT MARKET BUSINESS PATRONS ADIS' CUT RATE STORE AL'S LUNCHEONETTE APEX BEAUTICIAN AUTOCRAFT SEAT COVERS CLAYTON'S CANDY G CIGAR STORE CONFECTIONERY 6.
