THE DAILY SCRIBE PERSONALS The Hon. Morris Sher, whose in- auguration as president of the United States was solemnized on March 4, will take a short trip to inspect the new summer White House at 45 Zero Avenue, North Pole. The President will leave Wasliington at noon, and will return at 6:30 P. M. to address the National Demopublican Club. lag It has just been discovered that Mr. Oscar Grossman, newly installed presi- dent of the Bank of North America, was one of our classmates in high school. It is strangethat this gentle- man, who has attained such phenom- enal success, should have been grad- uated from the same school. He maintains that the wonderful training he has received at Townsend Harris Hall was partly responsible for his speedy rise to fame. ..-ar... An innovation was created by our Executive in the choosing of his cab- inet this year. He combined the ten Secretary-ships which ordinarily com- prise the cabinet, and awarded the portfolio to Harold Frenchman, who distinguished himself at Townsend Harris as the Secretary Extraordin- ary. -,al Dr. Reuben Fine will explain, in an address to the International Society of Mathematicians n e x t Wednesday night, just why Professor Einstein didn't know what he was talking about. ,xl Prof. Maurice Zaken, the well- known dancing master, has bought out Arthur Murray, Ned Wayburn, and jack Blue, in what has been called the greatest merger in the history of the light fantastic. Prof. Zaken is now the acknowledge leader of the Terpsichorean world. Victor Feingold has just been elected President of the League of Nations. This position came as a re- sult of the 931 billion dollar war which he so cleverly prevented. -.:r- jerome Adler now has a position near the Editor of the New York Timer. Quite true, the proof-reader's desk is just across the hall. la... The thirty-first edition of Sidney Freidbergis Book of Poetry ap- peared yesterday. The first edition was printed in 1929, and copies are now bringing as much as thirty-eight cents apiece. fC0nlinued from Page Onej port. Inciclentally, the use of the ship was extended to the class by Herbert Davenport, owner of a large fleet of trans-Atlantic airships, and after whom the flagship, Graf Davenport is named. The meal was barely over when the giant dirigible slipped silently into its Paris hangar. The entire party then disembarked and painted the town red, so to speak. Those who used too much paint in the process were jailed for Bolshevism. A remarkable thing happened. Only one speech was made the entire eve- ning! This one person, who had bet- ter remain nameless for the present, rose to deliver an oration and stayed in that position for nearly four minutes when the enraged assemblage rose and forced him to stomach a plate of Nora's Baked Beans! The other speakers, fearing that they too might be inflicted with this terrible punish- ment, declined to say anything. On the way home, one of the play- ful boys stuck a pin in the gas bag of the dirigible, and deflated the whole thing. Luckily the Zeppelin was only two hundred miles from home, and coasted safely into port. And so to bed. Page Forty-Five

ITH the approach of commencement, the culmination of three years of effort, the night to which all seniors look forward with joyous antici- pation and anxiety, there is a feeling of sadness and remorse that gf,-5 seems to permeate our minds, sadness which arises from the realization that one must part with the friends and activities which three years have made so inexplicably and infinitely precious, and remorse that originates from the fact that we have not made the most of our opportunities in Town- send Harris Hall. Our career in high school has not been one of empty chimeras, but of pulsating, throbbing life. From term to term, we have upheld the traditions and standards of our school. Defending and sustaining its spirit and morale has been our daily task, and it is with a feeling of profound gratification that we can affirm that our work has been performed successfully. We have set our ideals and aspirations, molded our characters, in such fashion that we may competently struggle with the responsibilities and seem- ingly-insurmountable obstacles of life. Nor are we oblivious of the part our instructors have played in this development-our instructors whom we have often unjustly and ungraciously condemned as pompous pedagogues. It is to them that we owe the splendid education and discipline we have acquired in Harris. They too are responsible for the ethical code and spirit of sportsman- ship inculcated into our minds. Never have they withheld advice, nor failed to offer their whole-hearted co-operation in a crisis, and it is with a feeling of sadness and regret that we bid them and the student body adieu. vm Q 'S 4 1 . 4 ll 1 5031 ag-if KD Q s. w Q 'A N fl 5 ri ,m I' 452 kg, y iii: If I, P4 GH , 4 I itty-Seven
