Lower AST in numbers, and aided by the usual number active members, the class of january'1931 has ended the fifth term of its existence in Harris with a determined purpose to pursue the footsteps of its predecessors. Throughout the whole semester, the entire class has kept in mind its impor- tance as a unit. It was evident that the class council was well aware of the numerous activities a Lower A was expected to undertake, for, within a few weeks, the governing body of the class had appointed Stephen Grob, editor of the Crimson and Gold of January '31, And in a brief length of time, plans were concluded for the staging of the traditional Lower A Banquet. The council, enjoying the benefits of a large treasury soon appointed a banquet committee which so efficiently fulfilled its duties that the affair was a tremendous success In addition to this, other class committees were appointed with a View towards the great tasks facing the students in the Senior semester Under the capable leadership of Murray Nathan the Lower A class has earned for itself a niche in the Harrisites hall of fame It has repre sentatives in every field of extra curricular activity One can recognize at least two Lower Seniors on every Harris team and in both the publication of the Stadium and the Crimson 84 Gold Lower A is well represented In such a class can be found many of the prominent men of Harris Melvin Edelstein, leader of class sports, became captain of the baseball team Murray Nathan of the Arista, was twice class president Stephen Grob, editor of the C 81 G is a member of the Stadium Staff Raymond Nathan was the editor of the Lower A Scroll, which stood among the foremost class papers DeKorp, Fensterstock, Siegfried, Theil Salk and Sindeband also did fine work for the class s success The Officers MURRAY NATHAN Pfemienz ALFRED GoLDsTE1N Vzce P1 efzdenr RALPH DIGIA T1earme1 THEODORE BENJAMIN G O Rep Englzfh Repieyentalzves Sxuoowrrz, BAKER, SIEGFRIED, ScHAMEsT, HERSKOWITZ 7 ' 9 9 - ' , . . . n . 5 7 S , g .t . ,, Q .. , JONAS SALK ...,.................,............,...........r ..,.................,.,......................,.

Up er' ELINQUISHING the inferiority which is generally associated with the Lower Classman, the class of june 1931 has witnessed the completion of, by far, the most successful semester it has ever experienced. The term's activities were typified by the business-like manner in which the Upper B's have fulfilled their many duties, and the celerity with which they have carried out their various functions. This class has shown itself to be one of the most active of the schoolls classes, in that it has predominated the entire school in social and literary, service and athletic affairs In Short, the class of une 31 has put forth its hand into all fields of extra curricular life In the inter class swimming meet, it was Upper B that defeated the Upper C s to maintain the ill trodden prestige of the Upper School Likewise in the inter class debating tournament, the oratorical representative of the Upper B s maintained the high standards set by the championship Triangle team of the preceding semester Then again Upper B organized an all class baseball team which although it was defeated here at Harris beat the George Washington sophomores However, the main function of the semester was the boat ride to Indian Point In that it was an important innovation, the second to be staged by an Upper B class, the affair proved to be an unusual success However, such a class must be inspired and led onward Therefore, it is without surprise that we note the great number of prominent classmen in Upper B Among these are James Wechsler, Arista man, twice class president and school representative in the Times Oratorrcal Contest, joseph Bryer, former class leader and a member of the Arista and Fred Goldstein, the president of the class Much credit is also due to Mr Pei, the capable and efficient faculty advisor whose aid was indispensable to the Class s marked success The Officers were FRED GoLDsTE1N P1 emiem' OSCAR BLOOM Vzce P1 efzdent JOSEPH WERBLOW S6C16l':Z1y MILTON PRINCE T1eam1ef ABRAHAM SLUTSKY G O Rep Englzrlv Re 171 erenmrzver MORGENTHAL, LAURICELLA, RosENBERG, SCHWARTMAN and CARVALLO , . . . . , . . . . . . , . . . . . .
