PUBLIC SCHOOL 173, MANIIATTAN-JUNE, 1930 Uther Winners ofthe Tear Floyd Gibbons Report on Hudson District Meet! I lello, Everybody! 1 have some hot news for you! 1 attended the lludson District Meet at the 168th Street Armory on May 3, 1930, and what a meet! The boys in our School who received medals and helped to bring honor to our School are Frank Silva, Thomas Ford, Cas- per Cramer and Paul Piskosh. What we need is more boys like these! Twenty-three schools participated. Of these, P. S. 173 was a winner. I had the best time of anyone there. I wonder that I didn't win a medal for cheer- ing so hard for P. S. 173. I have no more time left, and so until another broadcast, Bon jour! ALICE KERNER, 6131. DANCING IN THE AUDITORIUM Page Thirty-six 4:'K'. L'u. . . ,r .K rv f wav?

Now the meet's over and we know Who is who. My, it's too bad you weren't at the !'Armory to see our boys go! Four of our boys, Frank Silva, Thomas Ford, Casper Cramer and Paul Piskosh, are decorated with medals for getting a place in the 440-yard relay. But, we canlt forget the others. 'Did they go? 1 should say so! Anyway, they did the best they could. Some of the children could hardly talk on account of cheering. Everybody said he had a better time than his !'Pa1s. After the dashes some children from dif- ferent schools did some Hne drill work. Let's give thanks to everyone who helped us in anything connected with the meet. MILTON GRUSMARK, 6131.

Pl'BI.lC SCHOOL 173, MANIlA'lA'I'AN'-jL.?NE, 1930 Dramatics .I SCENE ERoIvI HTHE FAIRY GIIfTS PRESENTED BY CLASS 5A5 UNDER THE DIRECTION or MISS MCKEON Dramatics in P. S. 173, Manhattan One of the most interesting extra-curric- ular a.'2:vities in our schools is the dramatic work done by our children. Upon the children themselves rests the selection of each play. Several books of plays are given to them to read. Spirited discussions ensue! The possibilities of each play are minutely checked by the young producers, until one is found that satishes them as a play worthy of production. The children selected The Fairy Giftsl' to produce. The action took place in the early seventeenth century. lt was the ex- quisite idea of the Twelfth Night Feast where the fairies give gifts that foretell the future. ' Among others of our notable productions this year was The Goose l'lerder, a beauti- fully enacted portrayal of mother-love. Balboa was an historical play. Nathan Hale brought tears to many eyes. An enjoyable Christmas selection was the old favorite of Dickens, 'fThe Christmas Carol. HELEN NTCKEON, Teacher of SAS. Page Thirty hz t

PUBLIC SCIIOOL I73. MANIIATTAN-JUNE, 1930 Essay Writing During the spring of 1929 Class 5Al, whose teacher was Mrs. Martin, added to the glory of P. S. 173 by winning one of the highly-prized bronze medals which was awarded by the Mayor's Committee on Fire Prevention, for the best compositions on 'ASaI'eguarding the Home Against Fire. The winner, Robert Frankel, who is now in 6Bl, felt quite proud to be invited, with the suc- cessful competitors from other schools, to the City Ilall where Mayor Walker presented the medal to him. Unfortunately, the com- position is not available now, but we are try- ing to get a copy of it for future publication. CHARLES HERZBERG, 6Bl. -1946-X-59 The Poster Class During our drawing periods pupils have been busy making posters illustrating the following: Safety, Clean Up Week, Park Preservation, Health, and Open School Week. These posters were made for practical use. The Clean Up and Safety Posters were dis- played throughout the school. The ones on Open School Week and the Preservation of Parks posters were sent to Riverside Park Association where they were awarded two prizes and two honorable mentions. SYLVIA HoRowITz, 6B3. V V V The Childrenis Fair Our teacher told us that there was to be a Children's Fair from October llth to l7th, 1929. It was held by the School Nature League in the Museum of Natural History. I went down there and saw many interesting projects. .After the exhibit, prizes were awarded Class 6Al won second prize on the topic of 'Conservation of Our Forests. The prize was ten dollars, with which the class pur- chased a picture. This they presented to the School Nature Room. Two of the Individual Exhibitors were joseph Samuely, who won a prize for mak- ing hard-water soap, and Ruther Leder, who won one for making a candle by herself. Both of these children were in Miss Hourgil's class. The money they won was presented to our School Nature Room. I hope that we will enter the exhibit to be held in December next year.
