Sullivan, Jr. Joseph Machlowitz A MESSAGE FROM TI-IE SKIPPER The launching of THE CLIPPER! What a proud and happy moment for all of us! As this gallant craft leaves the ways, as its masts and spars and rigging take form before our eyes, as the boisunis pipe sends its crew scurrying about the decks making everything ship-shape for this first voy- age, as it breaks out its colors of blue and white from the mast-head and pennants flutter gaily at every point, how our hearts lift up with joy! Gladly we hail it, as it puts out to sea carrying to distant lands, not alone its cargo of song and story, but the glad memories, the high hopes, and the abiding faith of those who have joined hands to make this latest Adams venture so line a reality! To them we extend our congratulations upon the success attending their work. In THE CLIPPER we see above all the vision, the persistence and the industry of the loyal crew who have responded so well to the excellent leadership that has been theirs in the direction of this enterprise. We see, too, the faith and the courage of the Class of June, 1932. Early did they resolve that they would know no rest until THE CLIPPER was plowing the main. Soon they will embark upon a journey that may carry them far from us. May THE CLIPPER, to whose building they have given of themselves so readily, bear for them forever glad memories of the young school they helped to form and of the pleasant, busy life they have known here at John Adams! May fair winds, under bright skies, carry them steadily, smoothly, happily over the waters of life! William A. Clarke 3 Ode To Spring Fair fragrant herald of a better tilne on earth Replace our sombre sadness with the wings of mirth Radiant child of nature's generosity! Rid us of our mantle of oppressed misery. Boon of poets, thy renaissance each year To all thy reign is one of cheer. Sweet-smelling sod, new verdant lawns Effervescent brooks, and gamboling fauns. When thou wert by fair Aphrodite wooed Was not thy potent charm the balm that soothed? Did not thy vibrance bring new life To pilgrim fathers fraught with strife? Do not the furr-ed creatures which hibernate Thy clarion call with anxious ears await? In token of your coming here Do not the violets bloom each year? Dreary, emotionless mortals thy new-born ecstasy animates The barren woodside thy magic touch rejuvenates 'Neath azure skies 'midst pastel-tinted hills Glides the vibrant lark which trills In thankful eulogy of thy balsamic fragrance An humble ode eloquent of nature's cadence Thou need'st no further sign of work well doneg Thy just reward is labor well begun. Oh! teach me of thy mystic charm! With such a boon P11 do no harm. If I could hug to me such precious power For all the world I'd make an osprey's bower. On every mountain top Pd place a jewel And make of all, both sage and fool Restless tenants of thy fair domain Waiting for thee to come again. Lawrence Kaplan DIAMON D DUET I BERNARD RUTSTEIN Time-The last half of the ninth inning. The Scene - Groundhog Stadium, the baseball plant of the Big League Groundhog Club. The characters-Moe McCune, Manager of the Groundhogsg Patrick Poe, a Groundhog player afflicted with a touch of jinglesg and Ossie James, a reputed relative of Jesse James. Manager McCune-Now listen, kid. The sacks are loaded, there's two gone, and we gotta get a hit. Now don't try to kill that ball. Use rhythm and take a nice, smooth cut at the pill. If you swing from the toes and strike out, it'll cost you a hundred plasters. Use rhythm. Now go up there and get your hit. Player Poe--I gotcha, boss. Rhythm, that's me. QTo himself as he goes to the plate,-Why, makin' rimes is my middle monicker! Umpire James-Bawl-l-l-l-l one! Player Poe fsoftly singing to himself,-A guy I like for umplng games is good old umpire Ossie James. For what he sees, that's what he'll call. I know the next will be a ball. Umpire James-Stri-i-ke one! Player Poe Cfrowning a littlel-If that there wild one was a strike, Herb Hoover's aunt is Denver Mike. But any ump, though good and kind, is apt to be a little blind. Umpire James fwith digrlityl-Was you addressin' them poetical re- marks to me, young feller? Player Poe fdisregarding umpire as he continues softly siugingj-How passing strange they pay some guys good wages just to use their eyes. If I should bat like they can see, Pd owe the Groundhog Club a fee. Umpire James-Just one more verse of insultin' poetry like that'll cost you ten dollars. Bawl-I-l-l tuh! Player Poe-Oh, joy and rapture unrelined! Sometimes an umpire is 5 not blind. The sweetest words I e'er recall is when the umpire mur- murs, Bawl! Umpire James Kturning slightly crimson about the neckl-Str-i-i-ke tuh! Now try and rhyme that oif! Player Poe- Strike two! Ye Gods! What words are these? That ball would cut a lizard's knees. Umpire James-That'll be about all the poetry today I guess. You're lined ten dollars, young feller. Now try and make a rhyme for that. Player Poe-No line shall ever still my song whene'er a thieving ump is wrong. Pll sing- Umpire James-Yeah! Well, here's another theme to croon about, Mr. Poe. Twenty dollars! Sing something about that. Bawl-l-l-l thre-e-e! Player Poe-Hark! What was that? Ball three? My word! Can this be true that I have heard? But truth prevails with even chumps and even, at times, with baseball umps. Umpire James-Foul-l-l Bawl-l-l-l! Player Poe-Ah, true it is, it was not fair. It bit the grandstand way up there. Umpire James fScowlingJ-Foul-l-l-l Bawl-l-l! Player Poe-Another foul he did not miss! Oh glorious truth, what joy, what bliss! The next ball, too, perhaps he'll trace. And on four balls give me my base. Umpire James Kas vicious line drive strikes near third base foul lineJ- Fowl-l-l-l Bawl-l-l-! Player Poe fin amazement as he returns from first basel-He called it foul! How truth will flit. Right on the line that onion hit. The James boys steal with no remorse-though Jesse always used a horse. Umpire James-Keep right on, Mr. Longfellow! That last poetical in- spiration'l1 cost you twenty dollars more. A-ha! I thought so. That kinda took all the poetry outa you, hey? Player Poe-No cursed pelf my song shall still. With rhythm I will smite that pill. Umpire James lsuspiciouslyl-What was that last crack? If that cursed pelf stuh' means what I think it does after I look it up when I get back to my hotel, it'll cost you fifty dollars, Mr. Tennyson. Now get in there and bat. Stri-i-i-ke thre-e-e-e! ! Heezout ! ! Player Poe-Out! Out you say! Oh, woe and grief! To you porch-climlr ing, wall-eyed thief! If . . .

Now, low-foliaged trees were whispering to each other. Perhaps they were telling each other of the exquisiteness of the evening, of the beauty, the silver beauty of the moon. Perhaps they were whispering the secrets of the flowers, the secrets of the lily-white lotus flowers. Here, a wind passed, and it seemed as if the trees sighed, a silken, sad, uncertain sigh . Perhaps they were thinking of the lovely prince, so young, so fair, who at evening, would walk through the gardens of the Sultan as if in search of something, or someone . . . There, by the side of the black pool, glimmering jade green some- times, and sometimes silver as the moon fancied . . . sits the comely youth. He gazes upon the whiteness of a lotus flower. Gazing thus, a silken swishing attracts his ear. The sounds are pleasant. They set his every fibre tingling with a strange ecstatic touch. Almost reluctantly, as if he believed that he was dreaming again, he turned and saw Billa Sel. He saw the Princess, real only in his im- agination. He stepped forward. Shyly the Princess retreated. Again he stepped forward. The trees sighed. A sigh, too, escaped from the lips of Billa Sel. With her hand stretched gropingly out, she came towards him. He was real, then, he who was real only in her imagination . . . The moon shone silverly upon the once black pool. It was a round, full, cheerful moon now. Somewhere on its edge, spirits of peace hov- ered, while the wind passed caressingly through the whispering, low- foliaged trees. 7 . by Q ELEANOR FITZPATRICK SYMPHONY IN RAIN With the clouds weeping upon me, I was tramping home with no one to accompany me but a straggly black cat. I was taking a short cut, not a very safe trail for a young girl, for it led through a freight yard. But I could see no one, and the place looked perfectly safe. I was nearly through it when the great clouds above me seemed to cry aloud with new anguish, for great sheets of piercing rain fell on my scantily protected shoulders. I glanced around for a port of refuge and was soon sheltered beneath a rude roof with a few pieces of lumber to hold it up. I found, when I entered this place, that I was not the only occupant, for a large mother cat and her family of kittens were all sleeping peace- fully, their steady breathing broken regularly with feline snores. I settled down to wait for some signs of a let-up and, having nothing better to do, gazed somberly at the seemingly endless fall of rain. My eyes were surprised to iind in their line of vision a small bird flying to and fro. When it finally settled on a dry porch somewhere near me, it strangely enough started a gay twitter, at last breaking into song. It was odd to hear it. My ears then caught other sounds. The wind was gently flap- ping a piece of tin back and forth, making it sound like a cymbal. The snores of the sleeping cats sounded something like deep-voiced in- struments, and the rain falling in heavy drops from an electric wire on the roof resembled the steady beat of the drumg the wind softly whining 'round the corner of the shed made an odd sort of music like a flute. Above it all was the strong song of the bird. All keeping time un- cannily, it reminded me of a natural symphony. But alas! The rain ceased, the bird flew, the cats woke, my orchestra vanished, and my fond idea of a symphony in rain was past. 8 THE RANKS CLCSE UP 0 0 0 by RUTH STERLING 4 Pm tired of it! Tired of it all! Tired of the cold, the hunger, the endless marching. I want to go home--to my wife-my babes! Young Pieri-e's hysterical cry ended in a wail. Sh! sh-sh! Do not talk so loud! What if the Emperor should hear! Emperor! Bah! Murderer! Desecrater of homes! Killer of men! Yes! Do not stare at me so! Did he not swear the world should be ours, if we should take Moscow? The world is ours! This world of endless suffering! The Emperor marches on! Behind him he leaves a trail of men-dead men, broken men, and we who march are dead in all but the flesh! But-close up, close up, close up the ranks-that's his cry-his thanks for our starving, bleeding existence! Pierre, Pierre, say not such things! Old Jean knows you mean no harm, but the others . . . ! At last Pierre slept, amid the icy desolation about him. Dawn appears, and with it a new day. Around a fire sits a group of ragged, shivering men. But I want to tell you! lt's a nice story! We don't want to hear any stories, fool! Oh, let him talk! The old fellow is crazy any way. So the wrinkled old dotard with a toothless grin began. It was on a morning such as this. My father was going to feed the stock when he thought he heard a muffled cry. He looked around, then, perceiving no one, pushed on. Again he heard the cry. This time it was more persist- ent and seemed much nearer. Presently my father came upon a mound of snow of peculiar shape, and guessing that the sound emerged from there, began to brush away the snow. To his great amazement, he found a woman half-dead with cold and almost buried in the soft snow. He took her home to my mother, and between them, they brought her GS 9 back to consciousness. Day after day she remained, telling them naught about herself, her past life, or how she came to be in the strange place my father found her. Then one day she was gone. On the table she left this. Here he exhibited a queer ornament-a pearl set in an ex- quisitely carved gold ring. Wrapped around the ring was a little note, expressing thanks to my parents for their kindess to her, and stating that whosoever should wear the ring would be lucky until the day he died. Heh! Heh! Isn't that a nice story? The cracked voice ceased. The men stirred restlessly, again con- scious of the cold. In the silence a sharp whistle shrieked! An order was harked out to sullen men-and the Emperor marched on. Close up, close up- Five days later, Old Jean was dead. Pierre was stunned. Lying in a shallow grave, with no mark to identify the spot, was his only friend, Jean. Mutely he stood there, bowed with pain. Gradually he became con- scious of someone standing near him. The emaciated fool who had told the story. He felt something pressed into his rag-covered hand. He looked. It was the luck-ring. With a gasp he glared at the donor. Luck! he breathed. Luck! And he laughed a horrible laugh. The little old man shrank back before the glazed eyes of the youth. Pierre pushed him aside, and screamed Men! You shall listen to me! to Pierre! Pierre shall go to the Emperor and demand a burial with the honors for Jean! You will see if my wishes are not obeyed! He pushed his way through the crowd of men surrounding him, and up to where the commander of his company stood. To the Emperor! he commanded, Take me to the Emperor. The officer cowered behind his companions. Never before had he seen a man look like that. Pierre showed him the ring. With a scream the man nearest pointed to it. The others gazed in astonishment. What was it in the ring that made men obey that stooping, hollow-eyed youth? Pierre again shot his hand out before the gaze of the cowering officer, the hand with the ring on. Slowly the man separated from the group and led the way to the camp of the Emperor. Halt! Who goes there?,' An officer. The Emperor wishes to see no one. The Emperor will see me. f Please turn to Page 51 j G6 10 Cl-IANTEYS Bon Voyage Up anchor! Masts high! Skipper, prepare! Youth is launching forth to do and dare!

' 5 To Alice A vision of beauty in body and soul, Not one that in worry and time takes its toll, Her hair like the goldenrod shimmered in sun, To the rounded contours of her face it clung In soft undulations--a curl here and there Gave a loving caress to the skin so fair. But the minx in her eyes was the one I knew, Eyes, fallen from the skies, twin bits of blue, A part of her heart peeped thru their lashes And revealed her courage and pride in flashes. I called her a minx a short while ago- A pert, saucy flirt with many a beau, With a tinkle of laughter, a gay snatch of song, On her bright, shining path, she travels along. In the quirk of her smile, tho' it's more like a grin, There's a hint of the imp that's scarcely held in. Yet her chin plainly tells of a will all her own, Of thoughts and decisions reached wholly alone. A character strong-with principles high, A soul unmarked by greed or lie, A heart without mar of envy or malice, A thoroughbred-that's Alice. Betty Ossa The Ocean l've seen the ocean at its worst, With waves far off that long to burst Along the shore, they cannot wait, And so they break. And on the ocean green they make Patches of foam as white as snow, Till, with the racing waves they go Apart, and dissipate. Always moving, never the same, Tumultuous, turbulent, on they came, 'Twas then that all things seemed to be Just at the mercy of the sea. The howling wind, and lightning too, Dark clouds above, rain falling thru, It seem'd to me it'd never cease, But God above soon gave me ease. For suddenly, the roaring rain Ceased to fall, and once again, Tho' the wild wind blew, and waves raced o Bright rays of light thru dark clouds shone Soon after that the wind calm'd down, And waves endeavored to make known, That they alone controlled the shore, Which people dared to tread once more.

X THE SENIOR CLASS Joseph Buhler, Pres. 14 THE LATE TELEGRAM C I 0 by JESSE FUCIIS It was a beautiful June evening with a full moon and millions of stars all trying to shine at once. A boy and a girl were sitting on a bench in the shadowy campus of Winnemac University. A cloud of gloom seemed to have settled over the two of them. They had just realized that the coming graduation would part them for six months. I don't know what Pm going to do for six months while you're in school, Ted remarked bitterly, and to think, just a few weeks ago, I was looking forward to graduation. He stared gloomily into the night-the picture of dejection. Then, as afterthought, Are you sure that Miss Cleeves wonit take you into her school for ladies with your degree of education-then you could graduate with me and get a three year degree, instead of writing six months. Oh yes, answered Dot, equally as gloomy, She insists upon a four year degree for all her English instructors. I suppose I'll have to stay another six months. They sat there-he a handsome boy with a stubborn chin, she-a mere slip of a girl who needed someone 'With a stubborn chin to look after her. Well I might as well go in before I get into trouble-we won't accomplish anything by sitting here. You'll just have to wait some- where, until I finish my course and then we can get married, as we planned. Good night, Ted, Pm going. Ted remained sitting on the bench. He was thinking of the short time he had known Dot, of his great love for her, and of the coming grad- uation. At last, he roused himself from his reverie and started off-a slow wandering walk that beiitted a man who is going to his death. Ik' was wandering through the park bordering the campus. He thought of the classes he had suffered through that day-Prof. Kennedy's talk to them. The words of the professor of psychology came to him- 15 I hope you realize, gentlemen, the full importance of the coming ex- amination in this subject. As you know, a failing mark will, in most cases, mean the withholding of your diploma, besides -Ted stopped short, shaking all over. Jiminy, why didn't I think of that before? He stopped short, his thoughts quickly taking shape in his mind. That's it. All I have to do is Hunk my psych. test and I stay another six months -with Dot. He raced toward his dormitory-he hadn't been as happy for weeks. He was as one lifted to the heights of bliss from the very depths of despair. He burst into his room singing. Tubby, his roommate, was there, plugging faithfully away for the coming exams. Say, where have you been all evening, you'd better start working. No boning for me, I'll pass without boning. Pm going to bed. The day of the exams came around, and Ted was seated at his reg- ular place in the exam room. As the exam papers were passed around, pleased faces revealed the fact that the test was not as hard as was expected. Ted received his, and noticed that he could pass easily. He handed in his paper long before anyone was finished. He could not meet the professor's eyes as he handed him the paper-his conscience was already beginning to hurt him. He walked slowly outside and in the direction of the park. He was thinking of the angry letter from his father, the tearful one from his mother--the surprise of everyone when it was found out that the sixth in the class ilunked because of an easy exam. .H The following day was a hard one for him. He was anxious to see his mark. He was beginning to fear that despite his recklessness he might have passed anyhow. When he finally viewed his mark the next day, he was assured of his failure. There it was--Theodore Dodd-418. He left on the run for Dot's rooming house to tell the good news! As he ran, he saw a figure coming towards him from the direction of Dot's house. As it came nearer, he recognized it as Dot, herself, coming towards him with a paper in her hand. Oh Ted, I was just running over to your place to tell you some good news. I just received a telegram from Miss Cleeves saying that an in- structor has just left and she will need one immediately - that means I can graduate with you and-why what's the trouble? Aren't you glad? What are you running for? 16 11 .. . ..i... -.- .1..ll-i....--.-1 - 11-.11 Dorothy B.

Your great honor and responsibility, since you are among the first to be uated from this new organization. Upon your shoulders rests the bu en of its success, because the school is yours and will, in part, b e by your attitude after you leave its halls. Even though you ar graduated, you are just beginning your trust to carry out that wlu 1 you and your faculty have so earnestly striven. You have d hard together, you have worked hard together, and, as you are to enter and explore a new environment, I urge you to seek succes means of its ultimate determiner-good, honest, faithful work. For lt, there is no substitute. In the words of Henry Van Dyke, 56 Honest toil is holy service A Faithful work is praise and prayer. May you all he happy and successful in your various fields of activity, and remember that your friends at John Adams are and will continue to be interested in you and your new experiences. Most sincerely, Dorothy B. Laws 17 ON THE BRIDGE It is the lot perhaps of all human beings to be unable to evaluate clearly the present, while that present is still tingling with the zest of battle. But occasionally there comes a lull in the struggle, and as the smoke clears away, man comes face to face with a realization of Time's inevitably swift flight. Such a time has come for the Seniors, and each passing day at John Adams becomes another well-filled page in the volume of memories lock- ed within the heart of each busy senior. It seems incredible that in a little while they will be separated from those they have learned to know and to admire, torn from familiar surroundings, and set adrift in a strange world, but they will cherish, in years to come, dearest memories of it all . . . the modern building with its spacious classrooms and busy corridors, the faculty that has labored individually as well as collectively to make of each student a worthy man or woman, the many extra-curri- cular sports and social activities that have strengthened the bonds be- tween students, the countless other little ways in which John Adams has endeared itself to them, making their high school career an unforgettable era of youthful dreams and active living. And so, fortified for the greater struggle yet to come by memories of past joys, they bid a last fond farewell to the school that will live forever engraven on their hearts. THE CLIPPER can be a success only if it receives the co-operation of the student body. This magazine is yours. It is intended for your en- joyment, its contributors are your fellow students. They have worked hard and well so that you might have a fine magazine. But their share of the work was finished when THE CLIPPER went to press. On you depends its success. By supporting your school magazine, you make possible future editions, future joys, and surely future memories. You who buy THE CLIPPER will be amply repaid by its enjoyable contents. THE CLIPPER is launched! Popular subscription must keep it afloat. 18 THE SHIP'S LOG Aye mates, there's many a bonny lass and handsome lad aboard the good ship, THE CLIPPER.

Our new Alma Mater grew rapidly from a lusty infant into a vigorous youngster, making its way into the ranks of the older, more established schools of the city. The class pitched into the first task. The first weekly publication, ap- propriately named THE CAMPUS, went to press. On its staff was a fine representation of the class. Bernard Rutstein became the Editor-in-Chief, Milton Klinger, the Associate Editor, Cora Larney and Juliette Braun, Sports Editors, and Lew Zeidler, Columnist. Then followed the first G. O. campaign. Again the class was well rep- resented in the persons of Marion Swanson, Agnes Grange, Ethel Leach as candidates. Helen Kosunen led an excellent field into the position of first G. O. Secretary. In the way of athletics, seniors-to-be found themselves in positions of fame. Bill Schwartau and Joe Buhler made the football squad, Bernard Yesner, the Soccer Squad, Bob Silverstein, the track team. Numerous clubs were formed at the outset, and the class found itself fortunate to have students in its ranks to take places of responsibility. Margaret Weger was elected secretary of the Math Club, John Robinson, president of the Dramatic Club, Frances Levy, secretary of the Spanish Club, Josephine Jerum and Irene LaChapelle, vice-president and secre- tary, respectively, of Le Cercle Francais, and Ray Doner, president of the Speakers. The term waned, its swiftness barely giving us time to be- come acquainted with one another. However, the initial results were very encouraging. Sixth term--Things again started with a rush, but the class was ready for it. When the first major dramatic production was announced, Juliette Braun and Eleanor Nelson found themselves in the cast after exhaustive competition. From Out of the Night into well-deserved prominence went these two. Again the G. O. elections! From under a blaze of posters, blotters, tags, came candidates John McGullam and Rosemary Burke, the latter to assume the post of Secretary. 20 Spring came, and Sports beckoned. Henry Arken and Dick Madigan trotted out upon the turf of the diamond as members of a powerful nine. On the track cinders, a fast-moving, experienced Richmond Hill team was brought down in defeat. Carl Scheich, Bill Schwartau, Bob Silverstein, and Lester Forman of our ranks did famously in this vic- tory. Sid Cominsky and Moe Solomon plunged into the tank with the swimming squad, and Bernard Yesner, Dick Madigan, and Sol Greenberg booted the ball for the Soccerites. Into every conceivable activity, record, and honor went members of this graduating class. Heinz Milark became the president of the German Clubg Cullen Reynolds, president of the Poetry Club, and Ethel Leach went to the head of the Girl Reserves. Amid the impressive dignity of a Scholarship Assembly, many mem- bers of the class received awards. From the Service Awards Assembly came Bernard Rutstein, bearing a bronze UA . A host received insignia at an olficial Athletics Rally. Cora Larney, Agnes Grange, Helen Kosunen, Frances Levy, Lenore Stiller, Louise Baker, Olga Semenkowitch, Carl Scheich, Dick Madigan, Bill Schwartau, Lester Forman, and Joe Buhler formed an inspiring list. Seventh term-And now came the thrill of a lifetime when we found ourselves in the Senior and last year. We sulfered with new dignities, but managed to achieve a few things. Partially responsible for third and subsequent second place honors for The Campus at the Columbia Convention, were Bill Schwartau, newly chosen Business Manager, and Bernard Yesner who became Circulation manager. The Cops of John Adams were reorganized under the able and stim- ulating leadership of John Robinson. Two other seniors promoted were Sid Cominsky and John McGullam. In the hectic campaigning of the G. 0. elections of the new term, Lew Zeidler was elected to the oflice of president. In athletics we find that never-to-boforgotten Thanksgiving morning when Adams heartily trounced Richmond Hill. Bill Schwartau furnished some of the murderous assault. The soccer team came home with the bacon when it won the Queensborough Championship. Through it Carl Scheich had joined his senior cohorts on the soccer field. To prove that Seniors could attend to business, many came in for Scholarship awards. George Feil won the Math contests for Math I Please turn to Page 391 21 Sl-IOVING OFF To amaze properly all and sundry, to acquaint the public with the vagaries of the senior mind, and to leave John Adams with a settled feeling that all is Woke, we, the Class of June, 1932, do hereby present 66 9 a will that is as different ' as our class was: 1. To our Alma Mater, we will and bequeath the love, honor, and respect of the graduating class. 2. To Mr. Clarke, we leave our enduring esteem and our best wishes for very many successful and enjoyable years at John Adams High School. 3. To the joyful Juniors, we will the lofty crown of Seniordom, to rule as they see lit the masses of lowlier Adamsites. 4. To original and 5. To unto others ciples. 6. To sistance and the unsophisticated Sophs, we bequeath a goodly store of modern ways of conducting 6'freshie torture. the long-suffering Freshmen, we leave the quotation, Do as others do unto you, with rules for applying the prin- Miss Laws, we will our sincere thanks for her generous as- cooperation, and our hope that the next senior class is as well-behaved, unique, and altogether lovable as we were. 7. To Mr. Patterson, we bequeath a pair of roller-skates to facilitate the chase of 8. To sponsorship persistent hall-loiterers. Miss Keller, we leave our appreciation of her excellent and stamp with our august approval the bottom drawer of the file-cabinet in her office as the most convenient hiding-place for lunches, gym outfits, and other superliuous luggage. 9. To Mr. Middleton, we will our deepest apologies for all the lame duck excuses which somehow were offered for our breaches of conduct. 10. To Mr. Confoy, we bequeath a peak cap, sneakers, magnifying- glass, and other accessories suitable to his position as head of the gum- shoe squad. 11. To Mr. Weisberg, we leave a phonograph which he can turn on when his class runs out of something to say. Moral-the phonograph will never be used. 12. To Dr. Cusack, we will a magnifying-glass to be lent to all those desiring to Oifice. locate the famous little cubby-hole, known as the Speech I Please turn to Page 53 2 22 LANDFALL It has been deemed necessary by the class of '32 that a special fore- cast be made by one having those mysterious powers which enable him to go into a trance which carries him to the year of 1952 and unfolds the eventual fates of various personalities who were part of that class's make- up. Obediently and willingly has this Senior Seer gone from his usual trance into one that has enfolded and evolved unto him the follow- ing forecasts. Read and be guided thusly: FOURTH BANK VICE-PRESIDENT NAMED Due to an unexpected amalgamation, consolidation, merger, etc., of the United States Bank with the First National Ozone Park Bank, Mr. Joe Buhler has been appointed 4-th Vice-President of the resulting com- bination. Mr. Buhler is noted for his exceptional bridge game, and his remarkable ability to maintain a perfect poker face, although there was a rumor that the acrobatic antics of a certain Frank Williamson caused him to burst into gales of laughter while he was posing for his graduation portrait at Prof. Heed's Art Studio in Richmond Hill. That rumor, however, has not officially been confirmed. OWNER OF POPULAR DANCING STUDIO INTERVIEWED The cause of the popular patronage of the Rosebud Dancing Schooln has recently been made known by a press interview with the successful proprietor-Miss Florence Pratt. Miss Pratt gives the follow- ing explanation for her phenomenal rise in the dancing world: I attri- bute my success to my inexorable patience with and understanding of my patrons. Miss Pratt also was quoted as saying that the expression,- Patience is a virtue, surely must have originated during the dancing sessions at John Adams High where she lirst received training in her profession. FORMER SODA-JERKER WINS HWHOPPER CONTEST Raymond Doner, a former soda-jerker, was acclaimed the winner of the recent Whopper Story contest conducted by a local metropolitan newspaper, after eliminating Ed Kearney, his former classmate, in the final round of this unusual contest. The idea of the contest was to tell the most fantastic story possible. The unusual ability of Messrs. Doner and Kear- ney in this field made competition exceedingly great. The uSpanish Ath- letes received as prizes 325,000 and 35,000, respectively.

One of the great events of the term was the formation of the Arista. Some members of our class, outstanding in scholarship, service, and character were initiated into this select organization. These students were: Margaret Wegcr, Doris Ralston, Sylvia Mirson, Josephine Jerum, Dorothy Schmidt, Heinz Milark, Milton Klinger, and Mervin Hurwitz. Club honors went to Milton Klinger, Eleanor Nelson, and Heinz Milark when the presidency of the new Debating team went to the first, and the vice-presidency and stage managership of the Dramatic Club respec- tively to the latter two. Bernard Rutstein won a distinguished service award. Greenberg, Madigan, Yesner, Scheich, and Schwartau were re- membered for their athletics. Eighth term-The term opened with a bang with Seniors paying dues, electing officers, buying pins, appointing committees. The semester saw the most exciting G. 0. campaign. We thanked Rita Nagleschmidt for sustaining us. This election over, our attention was turned to the election of our own officers. It was with pardonable pride we saw our- selves represented by ,Ioe Buhler, president, Sid Cominsky, vice-president, Carl Scheich, treasurer, and Flo Pratt, secretary. When the committees had been selected, work was started on the Prom, Class Night, Jewelry, Pictures, aml Graduation. Probably the highest student honors were awarded Milton Klinger and Sylvia Mirson, when they were elected Boy and Girl Leaders, respectively, of the Arista. As we go to press, sports are in full swing, and everything is humming busily. We can take for granted that members of the class will cover themselves with their usual distinction. We have embarked on the new CLIPPER, school magazine, for a voy- age. This tremendous task is being well taken care by a crew, headed by Rosemary Burke, assisted by Lawrence Kaplan. William Arnold, Jesse Fuchs, James Miles, Cora Larney, Betty Ussa, Sarah Kisch, Miriam Ten- enholtz, and Bill Schwartau are holding the ship together. As the term draws to a close, we feel a sinking sensation, not sea-sickness, but a great reluctance to leave a school which has afforded so much education and enjoyment. Alma Mater, we have tried to serve thee well. 39 THE DRAMATIC CLUB Ist row: Albrecht, Strumeyer, Miss Krul, Miss Yoca- bella, Savarese, Miss Woods, Miss Pollack. 2nd row: Mendelsohn, Caplin, Miss Braun, Miss 3rd 41h Roidian, Miss Strauss, Miss Bregman, Miss Meltzer, Miss Frankel, Curcio. row: Hannon, Lewis, Miss Graham, Miss Baun, Dr. Cusack, Director, Miss Fensrick, Miss Krieg, Byrne, Viebrock. row: McCartin, Keeler, Miss Gunton, Eilers, Miss Howe, Miss Kinstry, Miss McMullin, Miss Laas, Miss Sherman, Miss Greenan. 5th row: Slevins, Rollings, Fessler, Zeidler, Lefkow- itz, Vindett.

What a mighty trail of hectic happenings, proud hearts, and bright memories the maiden ship leaves on the tran- quil waters of John Adams. Here are some of the happy memories of those privileged characters admitted within the sacred portals of the staff office. Mr. Sullivan and his eternal feud with Fritz Schneider over that little silver pencil. The electric light in 210 with its exasperating habit of going out while you were counting the words in an essay. Mr. ZimbaI's scorching lectures on the disgraceful condition of the oflice, and his subsequent zealous house-cleaning, only to be informed a moment later that some precious manuscript was missing, and every- thing had to be turned topsy-turvy again before it was finally discovered in the waste-paper basket. The ordeal of interviewing wide-eyed but deplorably slow-witted freshies, who listened with perfect understanding to instructions for a short, humorous story, and then turned up with a ten-page sob-storyi' that would bring tears from a stone or even a dean. Oodles of papers to be read and rated, corrected, typed, cut, and printed-thrilling mysteries whose blood-curdling qualities were greater than those of any paper-covered novel, romantic sketches in which moon- light and roses seemed to be the most important ingredients, puns and jokes which, even in these days of depression, by right of their many years of faithful service, should be paid generous pension. The beaming smiles and relaxed muscles when the first galleys re- turned from the printer, only to have to start proof reading from which came the finished sheet, looking like a page from a two-year old's scribble book. The joy of presenting one of those cute little printed passes to a formidable Eco. teacher. But with all its trials and tribulations, the task was a wonderful one for all concerned, for whether it was the inliuence of the all-charming Mr. Sullivan, or the thrill of helping to publish the Hrst issue of Adams' magazine, the fact remains that it was great while it lasted. May the future voyages of THE CLIPPER be as fruitful and delightful as this, its first one! 42 le jir ,- K GERTRUDE LAAS Q SOCIAL GRACES I 5 ' ' , by A When the time comes for the daily dishwashing, proceed as follows: 1. Remove any obstacles from your sink and drainboard. This is done by putting some of the said obstacles on the floor, because there will be no more table room available. 2. Get out your nice, new dishpan and put it in the sink. Of course, it probably will be a little too large, but you can scrape some enamel from the sides of the sink. 3. Dump some soap powder into the pan and run for a bandana, because the soap dust is going to Hy up, and you are going to sneeze. 4. Turn on the faucet that is labeled HOT. After filling the pan half full, you discover the water is cold. Light the hot water heater and sit down with your favorite book for five minutes. 5. A half hour later, jump up and turn off the heater. The scalding water will do wonders toward raising blisters on your hands. Q. Take a stack of dishes and let them drop into the water. After the ensuing splash, change your soaking dress, and mop up the Hoor with the dish cloth. 7. By this time, your water will be almost cold. Dump most of it out by tilting. the pan slightly. Start the process over again. 8. Be sure to step on one of those dishes on the floor and pick up the pieces. Throw them into the nice, new, green garbage can with the foot lever that doesn't work. 9. Forget to set the stopper, thus allowing all water to run out of the sink. Start washing the dishes. Cut your linger on the sharp knife which you overlooked. Bandage your finger and lie down to rest. 10. Let someone else finish the dishes. An alternative for this arrange- ment is to peddle shoelaces. Always remember-keep smiling. 43 CLUBS OF JOHN ADAMS Airplane Arts and Crafts Biology Business Training Checker Correspondence Civics Current Events Dancing Deutscher Verein El Circulo Castellano First Aid Geography Gregg Writers Girl Reserves Hearthstone Italian Judean Lettering Squad Les Amis de Lutice Leaders Marionette Martin Dupraw Mathematics Newman Photography Poetry Poster Publicity Secretarial Spanish Junior Squad Leaders Stamp Studio Traiiic and Patrol Theatre Virgines Puerique Romani Mr. Starfield Miss Seely Mrs. Johnson Mr. Siegel Mr. Eckstein Miss DuB'y Mr. Schiffres Mrs. Grief Miss Bernholdt Miss Hess Miss Aronson Mr. Robson Mr. Kuhle Miss Olson Miss Shaughnessy Miss Finn Miss Ribaudo Miss Neulander Miss Eckert Miss Riley Mrs. Daniel Miss Littell Miss Novendstern Mrs. deYoung Mr. Cronan Mr. Blazej Mrs. Schlueter Mrs. Lyons Miss Rodman Miss Betz Miss Schulman Mr. Camson Miss Seeman Mrs. Urban Mr. Confoy Miss Herlehy Mr. Mann THE ARISTA Boy Leader-Milton Klinger Girl Leader-Sylvia Mirson PLEDGE Being fully acquainted with the object of the ARISTA LEAGUE as stated in the Preamble hereto, and being in full sympathy with its aims to support only those things which look to the encouragement and to the highest development-physically, socially, intellectually, and moral- ly-of its members, and to the good of secondary schools as a whole, do you hereby promise to use your best efforts to promote the welfare of the League?

FOX In looking back through the past term, the students of John Adams can well be proud of the achievements of its athletes. Even though set-backs hit the basketball team right and left, we cannot say they ended their season unsuccessfully. They have the ability, and with practically the entire team ready for service next season, our opponents better beware. Maurice DeLuca and Harry Grant distinguished themselves on the eourtg DeLuca as high scorer for the entire season, and Grant as high scorer and Captain during the P. S. A. L. season. In talking with Coach Delaney, I found that he thought the same as everybody else, that a jinx had hovered over the team. Those one and two-point losing scores seem to bear him out. But wait until we get our next chance at the Queens title,,' said the coach. Swimming, like basketball, is only in its infancy. Nevertheless, the Blue and White mermen succeeded in capturing fourth place in the Queens P. S. A. L. championship meets. All the boys performed equally well, al- though special notice should be taken of the consistency in scoring of Captain Mortimer Caplin and Johnny Behrens. Coach Norton believes that with the promising material he has on hand, his team will do great things in the coming season. - Need we talk about baseball? Well, we won't say much. Injuries and eligibility rules took their toll of players. However, the team func- tioned on well-oiled cylinders, with Grant, a fine pitcher, mowing down the opposition. Congratulations should be extended to Mr. George Lapp, baseball mentor, for being able to turn out a team of such excellent cali- ber. As this is being set up, Coach Lapp thinks that the team will be able to finish a fine season. This was John Adams' first crack at P. S. A. L. competition. Track, tennis, and golf are three sports that cannot be forgotten. Figuratively speaking, there are enough Paavo Nurmis, Bill Tildens, and Bobby Joneses right here in John Adams to startle the sports world in years to come. On being approached, Coach O'Shea expressed himself as being well satisfied with the team. They can do still better though, he added as an after thought. Coach Vincent Shields, in talking of the tennis team, stated that, Although my boys are still a little green at the game, when they lose their inexperience they will then show their true worth. 46 DON'T FORGET US To say that the girls of John Adams have taken long strides in the field of athletics is to put it mildly. At the very outset, all of the different sports were opened to candidates, and soon basketball, swimming, base- ball, volleyball, and tennis were calling hundreds of girl athletes. At the end of the term, in January, participants who had properly qualified received coveted chevrons. The going was so brisk that by June, many were rewarded with minor letters. In swimming, with Mrs. Fyfe as coach, girls were rapidly becoming skilled mermaids. A big meet was held in the several schools. At the conclusion of the term's activities, an athletic assembly was held, where the student body was shown how really successful the sports season had been. After the vacation, with girls returning in the pink of condition, clubs were immediately formed. Especially in basketball was keen competition shown. The Monday group in a bitter battle took court honors from the Thursday group. The winners challenged a faculty team and tri- umphantly won the decision. At the athletic assembly of the term, con- gratulations were heaped upon the girls for their prowess, and they were encouraged to prepare for winning the famous Wingate Cup. Another activity proving very popular is the new Dancing Club. It has had so much success that it is destined to become a fixture at Adams. Probably one of the finest achievements of the girls in athletics is their development of the complete system of intramural sports. Concen- trating on the principle of a sport for every girl, contests within the school have bulked largely on all programs. Many of the girls, putting fine sup- port behind these projects, have found for themselves the way toward good sportsmanship and keen rivalry. Unsuspected skill was often brought to light, and the intramurals served as a stepping stone to greater things. We girls have been very much in the sports picture, and those of us who leave at the end of the term are hoping that the great spirit already shown will continue and increase with the years. Don't forget us. 47 -Lili..-i1 QEE OF LI STUDENT ., L3 GRADUATE? FROYI 3: vusuc 4 K X 7 ?f X g m, LL A scnoon. ,5 ,A 5 - . W.: '- ,owfs ,-in .f-13 Q:.x A A 7' A-A ,.

On either side of the path grew clusters of forget-me-nots and buttercups filling the sunlit air with sweetness. On the left where it met the foot of the stairs stood an age-old oak. The sun shone through- A network of shade fell upon the ground. Fine gray wooden steps took you to the door of the building. Upon the fifth step perched the first robin. Samuel Katy 50 f Continued from Page 101 One minute. I will ask.', The man disappeared into the tent, leaving Pierre awaiting his answer. His Majesty the Emperor will see you. Pierre pushed his way into the tent, and found himself standing be- fore the man he hated, the man whose ambition had stolen the life of Jean. In cold tones he stated his demands. What! You dare to command the Emperor? But-only the brave so dare. Your request shall be granted. And so old Jean was buried, and the march was resumed. Many moons passed. Pierre was no longer spoken of in whispers, the ring was forgotten. Once again the men were gathered around the fire. Plans! Again plans, but we get nowhere. The speaker stared morosely into the fire. Even Pierre is no longer one of us. At the sound of crunching snow, the men turned as if moved by common will. Standing behind them was Pierre, his face drawn and stony, the ring glittering by the light of the fire. Pm sorry if I have neglected you. But after tonight you shall not be disappointed, and Pierre turned away. To the tent of the commander he goes, this time walking swiftly by the guard. Into the inner sanctum he steps. His hand swoops downward. A shot! His smoking pistol in his hand, he stands with a strangely axultant face over the slumped figure in the Emperor's chair. He hurls frenzied imprecations. An iron hand falls upon his shoulder. He whirls and sees the little man-the great little man and sees his doom in the relent- less eyes before him. Dawn. A faint rift of the clouds in the east. A new day. A gibbering old man with a long gray beard tries to talk to the guard. It wasn't his fault. It was the ring! It's a hoodoo! I gave it to him-my madness. Let me to him! The guard pushes him aside with his gun and the old man falls sob- bing to the ground. Pierre stands alone against a grey background. His hands are tied behind his back. Before his eyes a glorious vision appears. Margot, his beloved wife, stands in front of him. Little Pierre and Josephine cling to her skirts. Her arms are outstretched. His arms reach out to meet hers. He waves away the blindfold. An officer barks an order. Eight rifles spit death. Pierre crumples. 51 A httle man in a huge black cloak steps forward, kneels to remove the rlng A bugle sounds, the army marches on. Close up, there, clos EULOGY Among the sickeningly sweet foods of the present day, the pickle indeed stands out to ad- vantage. Gracefully reclining upon a plate, the illustrious pickle exudes a delicious fragrance all its own. The aroma pervades the room. Eyes filled with tears and watering mouths are mute testi- mony of its power. The tang of keen wet winds is in its scent, and the verdant reflection of Na- ture's own color is imprinted on its dainty cov- ering, delighting the eye of Man, and calling to him in a tender, yet premonitory tone that he finds joy in answering. All of the remarkable concoctions invented by skilled chefs would be dull, flat, and tasteless without the buoyant crisp flavor of a pickle. It raises the rank of an ordinary dinner to a tasty feast by its mere presence, and by being on her table, raises a woman's title from a good-house- keeper to a delightful hostess. Truly its powers are magical. Look at it now, there before you in the mind's eye, and admit its magnificence in your heart. Answer the call-launch the pickle as a new topic for conversation and see what an intellectual rep- utation you will acquire. Then take up the torch and carry this noble edible to the summit of the menu. Let the slogan be '6Bigger and Better Pickles. Betty Ossa f Continued from Page 22 J 13. To Mr. Sullivan, through whose Hereulean efforts THE CLIPPER was edited, we bequeath a mighty depression-curing and labor-saving device of our own fertile minds-namely, a mail chute from the staf oH'ice to the furnace, down which shall go the literary endeavors of Adams' young hopefuls for the next issue of the magazine, thus elimin- ating wear and tear on the dispositions of the staf, as well as providing fuel for the school. 14. To Mr. McGill, we will a complete and original supply of names to take the place of the somewhat travel-worn Brother. 15. To Mr. Zimbal, we leave a patented arm-rest for greater con- venience when he is expounding the wonders of Wordsworth's To the Cuckoo. 16. To Mr. Reichenbach, we bequeath a suggestion that will increase the sales of THE CLIPPER tremendously-a simple matter of substituting for the pictures of the seniors something a little more artistic-cartoons of Ella Cinders, Popeye, and other famous personages might do the trick. 17. To Miss Axel, wewill a pass to every football, baseball, and bas- ketball game of dear old Adams for the next fifty years or so. fFaculty interest must be stimulated., 18. To Mr. Machlowitz, we leave the proceeds of the prom, etc., to be distributed to those poor unfortunates who are everlastingly bob rowing from their even more unfortunate associates. QThat's all they deserve., 19. To Mr. Troyano, we bequeath eleven football helmets specially designed with little waves in them. After all, the curly locks of our valiant warriors must be protected at any cost. 20. To the pubs office, we will the difficult problem of finding a successor to the world's champion editor, Bernie Rutstein. 21. To the cafeteria, we leave our deepest regrets that we cannot take such an enjoyable part of the school with usg a piece of apple pie would probably be a great consolation to an unemployed genius or a broken-hearted lover of the future. We, the senior class, do swear to all the above, and thus swearing, promise to see that all will be carried out. We need no witnesses, no attorney, no anything to make this legal-for we are THE SENIORS. CLASS OF '32 53 I Continued from Page 23Q WORLD ACCLAIMS SUCCESSFUL POETESS AND AUTHOR Miss Rosemary Burke, the latest sensation in literary circles, is to be honored shortly at a dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria. Miss Burke, pretty author of two best-sellers- Why Socrates Giggled and Human Psychology Among the Monkeys of Alaska, says that she owes her success to youthful experience on her high school weekly, where her expression news-crazed reporters became a local by-word. N. Y. TIMES EDITOR LAUDED FOR HIS EDITORIALS Scorching, straight-from-the shoulder editorials on the subject of Homework and its Evils have made Mr. Bernard Rutstein, editor of the New York Times one of the most respected and feared persons in New York City, for he has succeeded in proving to Board of Education officials that homework is the basic and fundamental cause of astigma- tism and lowering of the left shoulder, and that it is generally detrimental to the student as a whole. Rutstein declared that he was prompted to write his articles by his stay at John Adams High School, where the matter was first brought to his attention. ACT RESS HOLDING OUT FOR HIGHER SALARY Looking rather sulky, Rita Nagleschmidt, beautiful screen actress, granted an exclusive interview to the Daily Blah yesterday. Can you imaginef' chirped Miss Nagleschmidt, the Hotsy-Totsy 66 Film Corporation wants to reduce my salary from 315,000 a week to 314,500 a week! Why I'd rather go to the poorhouse first! Rita's last production was Love in the Clouds. In this she was up in the air. MATH WIZARDS STARTLE THE WORLD WITH FORMULA After five years of deep and closely-guarded concentration, the two mathematical geniuses of the age, Milton Klinger and James Miles, an- nounced to a shocked world their most recent mathematical formula concerning the universal strata. The formula x 11-ox-1-32 1-2y-1- V. oa 2, is sure to play a great part in the years to come, but just how, no one has been able to explain. DECATHLON CHAMPION RETIRES Carl Scheich, the one man track team, has announced to a dis- appointed sports world that he will retire and spend the rest of his lei- surely life raising flowers. Cowboy Carl is known the world over for 54 his astounding athletic feats as an Olympian for Uncle Sam. Carl says that he expects to obtain his future income by writing testimonials for sporting goods companies. And so the prophecy is concluded. The trance, lasting only 45 minutes, did not give suH'icient time for your crystal-gazer to account for any more of the '32 celebrities. Thusly and forthwithly, the prophecy is concluded by, Rajah Lew Zeidler OF Other Voyages by coin LARNEY To discover what our alumni have been doing is much like pearl- diving-much diving, but very few pearls. These retiring ladies and gen- tlemen, old salts now sailing other seas, have an abiding grace of shyness. Out of all our queries, we have managed to elicit the following facts: Jimmy Mclnerney is president of the freshman class at the Jamaica Training School. He hopes to become a teacher. Muriel Wilson is marking time at John Adams in a post-graduate. course waiting for that all-elusive job to turn up. Hannah Steinhardt is continuing work in the Speech Arts here, prior to attending William and Mary College for specializing in Dramatic Inter- pretation. Bamey Palley has given up the idea of becoming a farmer and will pursue general studies in an unnamed college in the fall. Willie Feder is burning 'em up at City College. Edith Rich, having located a position as a stenographer, is doing nicely, thank you. Howard Donald, an Adams Adonis, is hard at work for an insurance company. Rumor has it that his ability and good looks have him rapidly climbing the ladder. We fervently hope that those who will soon join their friends as vet- erans of a long voyage will have the time and the desire to keep us posted as to their progress. 55 Phone Richmond Hill 2-8897 PETER C.
