LowER A 5 K ITH its advent into the sub-senior semester, the Class of january, 1930, - QD has come into its own, and, looking forward to the bright prospect of V X being Seniors within a short period, has awakened from a kind of 4 lethargy which has characterized its activities during preceding terms. m ll 'V a' Under the guidance of Emanuel Knoblowitz and a capable coun- EAN cil, the class has done all its tasks efficiently, chief among them being its prep- i aration for the Lower A Banquet which, during recent terms, has become the biggest social event in the school, excluding the Senior Dance. Departing from V a precedent set by previous classes, the Banquet Connittee has chosen the Hotel l Q ' Knickerbocker in West 45th Street as the locale of the affair. Their choice ' X was significant in that it was the first time since the introduction of the Ban- quet that a class has chosen any hotel other than the Hamilton Hotel, which, because of its proximity to the school, is not altogether desirable. Having the ' Y Banquet in an established down-town hotel will, no doubt, add greatly to the p s prestige and success of that function. 9 0 ' Another notable achievement of the class was the timely choice of the y editor of next term's Crimson and Gold. Early in March, the council, with , the aid of Dr. Richter, the faculty advisor, selected Harry Weinstein as Editor- in-Chief. This prompt action will bring about a careful selection of a capable ta staff and will undoubtedly insure the future success of the publication. ' , ui Although the Class of january, 1930, is the smallest in the school, con- V- , sidering its numerical enrollment, nevertheless it is the most active in extra- curricular activities. Among the most prominent men in the class we find its president, Emanuel Knoblowitz, who has the distinction of being the first man ,i of his class admitted to the Arista and who is President of the Art Societyg .- Erank Greenwald, an Arista man, editor of the class publication, The Oracle, V Q, and prominent in many clubs, Nathaniel Goldreich and David Stein, both of ,pa the Arista, Tuffman and Green, managers of the Lacrosse and Fencing Teams, i respectively, and Larry Goldstein, one of the stars of the baseball team. ,. , . - I 1- 1 , .1 The officers of the class are: 1 ' ' l President ..................,..... .................................. .............

o Qs.. , ,-1 f Q A... - ,vu ,,,, 40' UZ N 0 A f f vi rw ir :I UPPERQB INCE itspvery first term in Townsend Harris, the Class of june, 1930, has .distinguished itself in all lines of endeavor. Imbued withla fine gp spirit, both toward the school as a whole and the class as a unit, and containing in its numbers some fine material both for the teams and 3 T45 l- for non-athletic organizations, it has gone its way with flying colors and has been well represented in all activities. It was particularly successful during the Lower B term, as head of the Triangle, and managed the affairs of the lower classes very effectively. At the beginning of the current term, unaccustomed to the newly-discov- ered freedom of an Upper School body, there was a slight let-down in the morale of the class, However, that feeling of over-confidence soon wore off and at the present the class is once more functioning smoothly. Since the customary Upper B Rally was held last November, during the Lower B semester, the Council was in a dilemma at the begnning of the term as to just what sort of an entertainment would be desirable in lieu of a Rally. After conducting a straw vote among all the English sections to determine what the popular choice would be, it was found that the students were over- whelmingly in favor of a boat ride. Accordingly the Council made plans to charter a Hudson River liner to take the class up to West Point during the latter part of May. The class organ, The Spectator, edited by Melvin Goodman, after mak- ing a rather late start, appeared regularly on the bulletin-board. Although it failed to live up to its former standards and reputation as best class paper, the Spectator furnished interesting news and it may be said that it was truly representative of the class. To Melvin Goodman, President of the class and editor of its publication, a great deal of credit is due for his untiring efforts in the interests of his class- mates. Mr. Pei, in the capacity of Faculty Supervisor, is also to be com- mended for his valuable advice and assistance. The members of the Council are: President ................... ..........
