f 9 ' A131 V X ,Wi '95 ll. LQWER B ' OMPLETING a turbulent and stormy Freshman year, the Class of june, 1931, has been comparatively successful in its undertakings this term. The Council, under Francis Di Franco, althou h as nois 3 E g Y I f and inefficient as it has become traditional for lower class bodies to be, vanwe- tf carried out its necessary duties and regulated all the matters which came to its attention. It managed the affairs of the Triangle teams which it largely controlled in an orderly manner. The Triangle swimming team, com- posed to a large extent of Lower B's, was particularly successful and won the inter-class tournament. True, two upper classes were disqualified for infrac- tions of the rules, leaving only one rival in the way of the Triangle team. Nevertheless it made an excellent showing, even though, through no fault of its own, there was little competition. Although Triangle affairs occupied a good deal of its time, the Council did not neglect the interests of its own class. Following the precedent estab- lished last term by the present Upper B class, the officers decided to hold a rally this term, and to present some form of masquerade on the program. In addition, inter-section boxball and debating tournaments were conducted more or less successfully, as such things go. The class paper, 'lThe Scroll, although under new management, was not altogether successful this semester. The editor, Stephen Grob, worked con- scientiously at his task, and issues of the paper appeared regularly on the bulletin-board. However, whether due to the inexperience of the staff or to other causes, the typing was careless and faulty, and the quality of the articles was not of a very high calibre. The class feels sincerely grateful toward its faculty advisor, Mr. Alles, who has always taken a keen interest in its welfare and has helped it out of many difhculties. The officers who have guided the class this term are: ' .,.........

51 1- QT-i .. - 1 L6 V Qf Q.,-f-K. -. H' UPPER C ,, UST six short months ago the present Upper Cs entered Townsend Harris, unfamiliar with our school and unversed in its ways. Flounder- ' ing around in an effort to get its bearings, the Council managed the nf class very poorly and became notorious throughout the school for its ineflicency, so much so that other classes intervened in its affairs and only aggravated the existing conditions. 2 2 A ll Qtr me? This term however, profiting from its unfortunate experiences, the council has come to realize the scope of its responsibilities. Under the drection of its president, james Wechsler, it has set to work in earnest and has performed all its tasks well. A great deal of credit for the success of the class must be laid to Mr. Dyer who has exerted a powerful influence upon the class in his capacity of Faculty Supervisor. Always keeping in contact with the activities of his charges, he watched over them closely, prevented them from making many costly mistakes, and guided them in the proper channels. Early in the term the council instituted baseball and debating. tournaments which were run off smoothly and were followed with a good deal of enthusiam by all members of the class. In its Freshman term the class issued a paper known as The News which expired after one or two issues. This term's council resolved to issue a more representative paper, selected a new editor, Marvin Jacobowitz, and changed the name of the publication to the Standardf' The paper was a very fine one and its make-up was exceptional for an Upper C publication. The class further distinguished itself by furnishing the various publica- tions, classes, and teams with many students, who, although raw material, were anxious to do their share and enter into the activities of the school. One of their numbers, Neville, is a promising athlete who may be a valuable asset to some of the teams later on.
