CRIMSON AND GOLD N is for Nothing, we all know that well. But if we knew opposite, our marks it would tell. O is for Oleck, midst great athletes he's seen. With him rank Katzelnik, Golditch, and Hofstein. P is for Pink with a bright orange tinge, Who gets cards of that color has reason to cringe. Q is for Questions, and quizzes also. Either is bad unless answers you know. R is for Robison, Orchestra he leads. Likewise, for the class, he did many deeds. S is for Solavitch, class president he was. With sincere devotion, he aimed high as Mars. T is for Teachers, we now part with them, W'hose three years' instruction we cannot condemn U is for Ullmann, our literary light. He raised the Stadium to its present height. V is for Varsity, teams, and such. Members of our class played on them much. W is for Wasserman, of HHHHCC and art. In school and class affairs he did his part. X is for Exams, no longer to fear Un Harrisj, for we no more will be here. Y is -for Yohalem, in politics he reigned. In Rally, Banquet, Dance, much fame he gained. Z is for Zimmerman, and Zimet too. On the C. and G. Stall, they had quite a bit to do. And now that we've come to the end of the list, We're sorry that some of you had to be missed. Page Fo fry

CRIMSON AND GOLD GYM I FORMING CLASSES NOW YSL. 87 MAY 11, 1958 No. 48 HARRIS GYM COMPLETED STUDENTS VERIFY DECISION NOT TO FLUNK Harris is in a state of chaos! All is hubbub and confusion! Tumult reigns! Instructors are madly rushing hither and thither. So great is the excitement that Dr. Senftner, jr., has desisted giving memos for a whole period! The horror of this momentous occasion has eveII been realized by Mr. Fenders son. The floor of his room is practically bone dry. Students have ceased their coarse laughter at Professor Blake's impromptu maps. The Medium, had 100 per cent sales! Harris won a basketball game! A great disaster has befallen our Alma Mater. The president of the G, O. Council has finally decreed that no teacher shall be henceforth permitted to Hunk students in any course whatsoever in Townsend Har- ris Hall. VX'e do not choose to Hunk in l958, was the presidents brief reply to the many objections. All petitions from the teachers for the privilege to Hunk two or three students were finally rejected with- out tlIe slightest discussion. Some of the members of the faculty held an unofficial meeting in order to see what could be done about the matter. Come, exclaimed Mr. Troyson, this can't go on. Sacre nom de nom de nom- the old place won't seem tlIe same without the 'dollink repeaters'. as PF vt CHALLENGE We the inmates of Townsend Harris Hall, the Preparatory School of the Col- lege of the City of New York, in general assembly, do hereby clIalleIIge the students of any otlIer recognized high school to draw up, choose, or otherwise produce a baseball team to play the undefeated team of our Alma Mater. In order to prevent dead umpires. waste of putrid vegetation, and other useless ex- pense, we do hereby consent to the follow- ing rules and regulations: l.

Ever since the founda- tioII of our Alma Mater a course in gym- nastics has bee1I the everlasting ambition of every Harrisite. More than once, peti- tions have beeII submitted to our executives claiming tlIe addition of physical training to our curriculum Now, fifty years after its foundation, this wanting factor has been supplied. Through the effort and financial support of the Alumni Association of the Class of June, 1928, it has been made possible to complete the edifice situated directly north of our building, tlIe foundation of which has been laying idle for a great many years. Before long, it will be thoroughly equipped as a first class gymnasium. Each week three periods of forty miII- utes duration will be devoted to physical strengthening. Only those particularly designated by the Medical Department as being unable to engage in strenuous activity will be exempt. This enterprise will have absolutely no connection with the R, O. T. C. To supervise and direct these classes, two instructors, thoroughly experienced in ath- letics, have been engaged. To one ac- quainted with the class of June, '28, the names Golditch and Katzelnik will, un- doubtedly, recall two first grade athletes. These men, prominent in the Townsend Harris Athletics of thirty years ago, have been highly recommended by their class as excellent physical training instructors. Undoubtedly tlIe numerous advantages of this enterprise are obvious to all. It will make possible many things lacking in the past. No longer will our auspicious fencing team practice i1I the corridors of the third and fourth Hoors under tlIe oppression of tlIe faculty. As they do in other schools, clubs and classes will be able to hold dances without tlIe cost of a hall. Thus not only the Senior class shall sponsor dances. Finally, there is the advantage of having all our indoor practice in our own gym- nasium. '
