She has led us through four years of high school showing the same interest in our welfare throughout. And now, as we prepare to step out in the world to take our places, we express our sincere thanks for her capable guidance. We shall always asso- ciate Miss Welle with the happy years we have spent here in South Side. We express our appre- ciation for the concern she has shown in our social affairs and the industry with which she has worked with us to gain our ends. w SENIOR OPTIMIST STAFF ELIZABETH STRAUS EVELYN SCHYOWITZ SEYMOUR SOLOMON DIRECTORY Elinor Miller—Chairman Pauline Dilucantonio Margery Ferguson Marie Filce LITERATURE Lillian Schulsinger—Chairman Leon Berger Bernice Egeth Doris Epstein Ethel Lipowitz Marvin Segal FEATURES Frances Ganek—Chairman Martin Dector Morton Sunshine ATHLETICS Mortimer Mantell Dolores Jones Anita Shapiro ACTIVITIES Lorraine Brandt—Chairman Mae Eisman Jerome Kessler Muriel Warren TYPISTS Sylvia Warshawsky—Chairman Carol Amdur Dorothy Mayer Stephanie Ordyk Beatrice Ross Irene Rummel Dorothy Wiedmann 6 e Betty Freinkel Anne Friedman Fred Grohgan Joe Grossblatt Sam Handleman Betty Kieffer Richard Leuthauser Edward Koch Marian McClary Stanley Mine Harry Mitkus James Murdoch Doris Ogden Norma Orda Sonia Perle Eleanor Pierce Fred Rall Diane Scharf PHOTOGRAPHERS Zhonta Stapleton— Chairman Harvey Segal Martin Shames ADVERTISING Mae Eisman Dorothy Mayer Lucy Amato Class Officers Seniors Activities Features : rtisements Adve CLASS OFFICERS ROBERT GOEB President ELIZABETH BORDELEAU Vice-President FRIEDA WEINER Secretary JEAN GROENER Treasurer (ШШШ ПЕС ial Am ї - LEONA ABRAMOWITZ 36 Tracy Avenue She is small; that's what they say, but her ability is the other way.

It's one of those terrible things that happen once in a lifetime. We must steel ourselves against it and try to forget. Monnie, the only way to forget is to tell you everything from the beginning.

It's now or never. It's never, then. No, no, not never! Far better now, than never. The stifling veil slowly evaporates and | hear myself talking. Monnie, my family is—well, it's nothing to be proud of. There were four of us. There's only three now. My brother hasn't been home for years now. He's—he's serving a life term. When Dad first heard, he cursed himself into a rage. “It’s all my fault. | learned him to steal. He never woulda knowed what stealin' was. | showed him how. He was a clean-cut kid. He always liked drawin'. Said he was gonna be a architect. Might a been too, if he didn't have a lowdown drunken father al- ways with a bottle in one pocket and stolen cash in the other.

Yeah, Lottie ain't gonna end up in no reform school. It's all my fault.” Mom just shook her head. She knew he'd lay off drinking a few days and make a pre- tence of looking for work. Every time some- thing like this happened, Dad would make his resolutions. We knew he meant well at the time but it only lasted a few days. He would stagger in and toss a roll of bills on the table. Take it, Josie. Let's spree tonight. We'll be on Easy Street soon, sure. Mom would pick it up resignedly and put it in her stocking. She knew as well as | did where it came from but she took it anyway. May as well take it. Ain't nothing else to do.

Miss Lones, the fifth grade schoolteacher, had just told us a story the other day. There were two brothers, one of whom was upright and sincere; the other crafty and dishonest. These two were shepherds, tend- ing their flocks. The wicked one would steal healthy sheep from his brother at every shear- ing time. Just as the stolen sheep was about to be shorn, the Angel of Goodness looked down and, observing the hateful spectacle, caused the shears to turn about and pierce the black heart of the wretched shepherd. As | heard Mom's whining voice, | knew l'd never go. Not if | had to starve a week. | slid to the door and bolted into the street. Mom opened the window and screamed, “Со git that there meat.

Mom was squinting over some hopeless socks and Pop was slouched over the table talking fervently to Mom. As soon as | entered Pop snatched a newspaper and began skimming over the headlines.

It seemed that Mr. Kingston, the landlord, had called Pop into his living room that after- noon. He never did impress me very favor- ably. | don't know what it was. | always felt kind of weird when | brought him the rent. He'd reach for it indifferently as if it didn't matter and when his clammy f ingers touched the bills, they would tighten strangely and snatch the money. | never wasted too much time paying the rent, Well, Dad was saying Mr. Kingston's place was worth $6,000 in fire insurance. Kingston thought with Dad doing the dirty work, he could rake in the chips. Dad's voice grew louder. 'Sure, it's a cinch. We kinda start a fire. Nobody'd know the difference. We'll be living on Easy Street. Kingston's splitting fifty-fifty. He can't back out now. You can have all the china sets and Lottie can have all the silk stockings she wants. She's too handsome to dress up shabby.” Mom only said, ‘We gotta eat.” Invisible hands were tearing my head to ribbons. | couldn't think, | don't know that | wanted to.

By EVELYN KOCAN THE RECORD BREAKER Kiwana Park is a haven of haunting beauty in early June. The azure skies which gaze down upon it are tinted by lazily drifting clouds. Often a mild breeze excites the tall grasses across the lake. The green hills are bathed in warm sunshine. Beyond the clover, tall trees form a shady woodland retreat. Gushing springs dash over the rocks. The rare coolness of the woodland lanes is further en- hanced by the sweet odors of wild flowers. The sun is reflected in the clear lake. The worn path encircles the lake and winds up the hills. This aged path has many branch- es, the most used branch being the one which curves toward the hill overlooking the huge Kiwana Stadium, The giant walls of the stadium tower over everything in the valley, the white cement contrasting sharply with the subdued colors of nature. Through its four wide gates, many millions of sports fans have come and gone. The kindly millionaire who financed the erection of Kiwana Stadium was determined to make it a monument of lasting glory to outdoor sports. A well-kept quarter-mile cin- der track borders about a third of the large athletic field. To the right of the field are a baseball diamond and football field and behind it are tennis courts and a soccer field. Close to the track are pits for high jumping, broad jumping, shot putting and pole-vaulting. Track events featuring the Locksley Mile are the main cause of Kiwana Stadium’s na- tion-wide fame. The Locksley Mile is the eie distance-running event of the year. ince only the six best amateur milers in the country are ever given bids, the races have always been fast and the victories close. Some can recall that day in June, twelve years ago, when Vinnie Corman shattered the world's outdoor mile record in this coveted mile. Vinnie Gorman, too, remembers that day when the record fell at his feet. He remem- bers the glory which covered him throughout his high school and college years. Those long jogs around the lake in cool October, the spike-scarred indoor track in New York, the narrow victories in the autumn, cross-country races,—will live with him forever. But strangely enough, the happiest episode in his athletic career came not through vic- tory, but through miserable defeat. Among the dusty files of the newspapers lies the great story of his record-breaking Locksley Mile. To all the public, even Согта '5 closest friends, this story is the only one which could possibly stand out. In sport circles, Vinnie is often asked, “How did you feel after being told that you had broken the world's record? Vinnie answers mechanically, “I was sur- prised! | really couldn't believe it! or “That was the happiest moment of my life! Не then smiles inwardly, for he knew what would happen that day in Kiawana. He had broken the record twice in practice the preceding week. The truly happiest moment, however, cannot be effectively told at a banquet. It happened two years ago. The huge Ki- wana Stadium was alive with the cries of thousands of fans. On the sidelines about the track sat the old sport sages, Bill Orlinski, Art Smith, and Andy Carter. To everyone, Vinnie seemed to be in the best of condition. As he limbered up, the marvel of his long, rhythmic stride could be witnessed. Strangers would never have thought he was as old as thirty-four. They contributed his two defeats in the recent minor races to Lack of competition good enough to keep him in top form, but when interviewed by sport writers, Gorman sur- prised them by saying, “If | am badly defeated in the Locksley Mile, | will hang up my spikes. When | can no longer hope to establish any new records, | feel that running can no longer be of value to me. Gorman felt that in those last two meets he had slipped badly. Now would come.the supreme test. None of his famous rivals in this Locksley Mile could be classed as . not good enough competi- tion. The loud speaker boomed out, Participants in the Locksley Mile will please go to their starting places. The six runners took their places, and the officials began giving instruc- tions and warnings. Gorman, having won the event six times in ten years, did not bother to listen to the officials, because for the first time in many years he was nervous. He had seen great runners grow old, and finally become so defeated that they retired from the track scene. |4 seemed as if every eye in the stadium was upon him. He saw a headline with the words ''Old Vinnie Gorman has retired from the mile after his defeat in Kiwana yesterday. He could see all his reporter friends ignoring him after his defeat, to avoid embarrassing him. He did not hear the official shout, Get set, and when the sharp report of the starting gun rang out, he was caught unprepared. He broke his usual pace to catch up with his rivals, So the race began. Although the first lap around the quarter- mile track was fast, Vinnie managed to keep up with his rivals. The second lap was not quite so fast as the first, but two of the run- ners began slowly to edge forward, leaving the rest of the runners behind. Three of the other runners were biding their time, thinking it very foolish to take the lead so early in the race. Vinnie's long experience had taught him, however, that when a well-conditioned runner decides to take the lead, he does not usually weaken near the finish. When the leaders saw Vinnie increasing his speed, they lengthened their own strides, still holding the lead at the end of the second lap. Near the end of the third lap, Vinnie's legs seemed to wilt beneath him, when the realiza- tion struck him that the two leaders were out in front by thirty yards. Suddenly, Gorman wanted to stop running. He pictured himself dipping his tired feet into one of the cold streams, when two of the runners jostled roughly by, one on each side of him. As Gor- man tried to regain his third position, he stumbled and fell awkwardly upon his hands and knees. This accident gave the runner be- nind him new hope. He increased his pace, passing the weakened Gorman. When Gor- man rose, he discovered that he held last posi- tion. His weary legs refused to move faster when he tried to catch the fifth man, and his arms dangled loosely as he plodded into the fourth and last lap. Weariness, perspiration, and im- pending defeat clouded his vision, so that he could see only the bright colors of his rivals’ jerseys through a queer mist. At last he heard the crowd cheer as the winner broke the tape. Nightmare Caught, held In its ghastly grip Frightened, nauseated By its immensity | turn and twist Struggling to escape. Like dread quicksands Its power increases With the death struggles Of its victim. Night after night | am enfolded, Contained In its tenuous strands. Mocked, Haunted By its very inevitability | yield, And am saved By blessed, joyous sunlight. BEATRICE MITTLEMAN Four more less audible shouts reached his ears and then he knew that he was alone—the last to finish. When he reached the long, seemingly endless home-stretch, the track began to whirl dizzily before him, and his heart sank lower with every step. He stag- gered toward the finish line. Then a deafening cheer went up from the crowd! Flash-bulbs exploded from every angle. Sports writers and athletes were sur- rounding him, cheering! Through the loud incessant cheers of the spectators, Vinnie could feel the warm handclasp of Andy Car- ter and hear his familiar voice saying, Do you hear that, Vinnie? Everybody is cheering YOU! You will never be forgotten, You never ran for personal glory,—you ran to break rec- ords. You will be forever immortal, Vin- nie... ! Then Carter's voice was drowned out by the thundering applause. That night Vinnie went walking alone, in the warm lake-path, as he did after each of his races at Kiwana. Being alone and so near to nature always soothed him mentally as well as physically. The full moon cast its soft glow over the park, and the stars shone like jewels from the deep blue heavens. When Vinnie reached the top of the hill, he turned about so that he could take a farewell glance at the old Kiwana Stadium. A queer sensation seized him. A tear rolled down his cheek, but Vinnie Gorman was very happy.

His uniform was smeared with mud, The same mud which he sank into, up to his knees at each step. His companions moved silently around him. At first there had been some talk. Now they were silent, except for an occasional curse At the gray drizzle of rain that had started. He stumbled. Fell. He was helped to his feet. Again he fell. His numbed limbs pulled him erect. He was miserable. He couldn't stand it much longer. But wait!—He had a plan. He would go back—to her. He walked more and more slowly. His companions passed him till he was alone. He slipped the heavy knapsack from his aching shoulders. A truck approached him going in the opposite direction, In the direction where he could find her. With renewed strength he swung aboard. Hours later, he stumbled across her threshold. Who was she? His sweetheart? No! It was his mother. What are you doing here,” she cried? “Where are the others? “Гуе quit, Mom!

It's a perfect night for love, Stars twinkle up above, Couples glide in graceful dance, To the music of romance.

He suffers, silent in despair, His sad visage gets in your hair, But he may only sit and sit— Because his too tight pants have split. Here am |, standing on this hill. l've been here for many hours now, Just as always, waiting, — и The sun will fade and somehow With it will go a brilliant light And in its place another bright — But yet a different light.

DOROTHEA NEIGEL We can only learn, only teach, only earn And only preach, the values we receive from the world’s open door. MARTIN DECTOR The End of the Road When upon life's toilsome road, Tired and weary from your heavy load, Comes the time for work to cease, The evening brings a quiet peace. Silently and slowly it settles around you, It seems as if it cannot be true, For there before your eyes you behold, The heavenly gate of shining gold: Flashing and glittering it lightens the skies, So bright it almost blinds your eyes, COLD The basis of our dollar bills, The precious metal of the hills The necklaces in days of old— Everything depends on gold! The reason for a million crimes, The wealth behind a thousand dimes, The statues, now covered with mould— Everything depends on gold! A priceless thing, once used in the way That we use tin and nickel today, The thing that makes the robber bold— Everything depends on gold! The want of it can cause a war On ours, or any foreign shore. The lust for it is a million years old— Everything depends on gold! Around the gate, the most beautiful scene, Colorful flowers, and trees so green! Suddenly the gate swings open wide— And you catch a glimpse of the world inside: Jasper and ruby, and silver and gold, And wonder and loveliness and beauty It makes you happy and lifts your load, But, even though man has much wealth He's no good without his health. So | contradict what l've just told— Not everything depends on gold! ETHEL MEISTER untold— For there before you is the end of the road.

Have you ever watched the Dance Group practice on the stage on Monday after noons? Have you seen our bowlers in the bowling alleys? If you have, you have seen many of our senior girls par- ticipating. This graduating class contains a large and talented group of girl athletes. The Dance Group meets every Monday for two periods to practice, The girls all love the work. It's actually inspiring to see them dance. Miss Popkin is their leader, and Mrs. Sherman composes the music for their dances. The girls practice various movements and dances and are encouraged to make up their own dances The foilowing seniors have taken active part in the Dance Group since they were in 2A: Anita Shapiro, Lillian Schulsinger, Frances Berkowitz, Frances Ganek, Hazel Griffin, Evelyn Kogan, and Diane Scharf.

The two-term girls are Jean Groener, Eileen Coombs, Sophia Kotik, and Mary McCarthy. They practice in the Weequahic field during the hockey season. The hockey teams play among themselves and with other teams. Near the end of the season, the group takes a test to determine which of them shall receive letters and emblems. The Bowling Club is the newest athletic club in South Side. The group goes over to a neighborhood bowling alley which is reserved for them on certain afternoons. Miss Walters is their adviser. At the pres- ent date, Eileen Coombs has made the highest score, 168. The other girls are: Jean Groener, Beatrice Ross, Shirley Pretiks, Shirley Arons, Carol Amdur, Dolores Jones, Marie Filce, Mae Eisman, Harriet Schein, Florence Rich- ardson, Viola Kohlbacher and Eileen Coombs. SENIOR One of the largest and finest groups of athletes ever to win South Side letters is in the class of June, 1941. The boys have all won the “Black and Gold” for four years and have done their best to place South Side in the spotlight of fame. Much of the credit for our teams' successes goes to the coaches. Mr. Thornton is our football coach; Mr. Leon, our baseball coach; Mr. Anderson, cross-country ; and Mr. Stoll, our swimming coach. One of the most outstanding of the senior athletes is Albert Malekoff. ' Boomie' has earned four varsity football letters. This year he was elected captain of the team. He proved himself such an able player in the backfield that he was chosen as a member of the All- City Team, and was awarded a trophy for being the highest scorer in city-wide competition. “Boomie has also earned two varsity letters in baseball. Robert Goeb has won letters in both varsity foot- ball and baseball. ‘‘Goeby’’ is one of South Side's great- est forward-passers. His accurate passes have pulled many a game out of the fire. He also was a member of the All-City Team. As catcher on the varsity baseball team, Goeb proved himself one of the best players in the city. Berge Parigian, although he originally played the halfback position in football, became one of the best left- ends South Side has ever had. Berge's best playing was shown in the end-around play when he carried the ball and very often made touchdowns. Larry Emmons, one of the smallest men on the base- ball team, is our fast and capable shortstop. He has won varsity letters twice. Vincent Ribes was the fastest man on both the track and the football team. He is best known for his speed in the 220 and quarter-mile, but he also is no mean broad-jumper. As a backfield man on the football squad, he was fast, and dangerous to our opponents. Arnold Lau did a fine job as right end on the foot- ball squad for three years. Arnie' was not only a good offensive and defensive player, but a good pass receiver, too. He has also played baseball and has been a member of the track team. Arthur Gottfried played center on the football team. He was the smallest and lightest man on the team. Arty was the fellow who backed up the play, and broke up the plays of the opponents. Jules Pomerantz was a member of the Varsity LETTERMEN football team, and though one of the heaviest men on the team, he was also one of the fastest. ‘‘Puffy’’ was the fellow who made those holes for the touchdown plays to go through. Robert Goldblatt proved himself one of the finest linesmen in the city. Ribby' started playing on the Frosh team, and his brilliant playing soon put him о the varsity squad. He has three varsity letters to his credit. Tom Lakos has been a member of the baseball team for two years. ‘‘Greek’’ has played almost every position on the team, but starred particularly at first base. He was one of the heaviest hitters on the team. Sal Cuttitta has earned varsity letters in both baseball and swimming. Sal was one of the finest pitch- ers on the team. He also won a medal for being the best diver in city competition. Some other асе swimmers in the June, '41 class are Norman Herman, Louis German, and Stanley Mine. ‘Normie” excels in the breast-stroke and won a medal in the city meet; German is a back-stroke ace, and took a place in the city meet. Mine also won a varsity letter and won a medal in the city meet. June, '41, is not so well represented in track as in the other sports, but our few men are the best anywhere. George Vogt is one of the most brilliant track stars since Herman Goffberg. Georgie ran the half-mile and also the mile. He set a record at Weequahic Park in the three-mile cross-country run. William Hutchins, the ace high-jumper, set a new record for South Side, and was also selected as a mem- ber of the All-City relay team. Hutchins has two varsity letters to his credit. William Bryant is another versatile member of our track team. Bill is on the cross-country team, runs the half-mile, and is also a high-jumper of no mean ability. James Young starred with Bill Bryant on the cross- country team, and also ran the half-mile. Our fencing team has had a very successful season under the tutelage of Dean Parsons, winning over half its matches. The captain of the team, Paul Brooke, con- tributed greatly to the success. Attention should also be paid to the managers. Al- bert Brodsky was manager of the varsity football team; Milton Litwack and Robert Hautzik managed the base- ball team; Fred Rall guided the fencing team, while Ed- ward Rothrock acted as manager for the varsity swim- mers.
