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 , . . . . , . . . . . . , . . . . . .

Lower B URVIVING a stormy and turbulent Freshman Year, Lower B has set about its second year of life in Harris with an unparalleled zeal to make a name for itself and be recognized as true Harrisites. Under the leadership of Marvin Cohen and that most capable advisor, Mr. Alles, the class has completed a term filled with many happy incidents and marked with the spirit essential to the success of any class. The class has succeeded principally in carrying out the term's social func- tion By that we mean their main interest has been centered on this affair above all other thinffs although they too, have shown their strength in other fields of extra curricular life The preparations for this affair were started early in the semester, so as to hold it in due time without any unforseen delay And this was the case and the boat ride the first of its kind to be sponsored by a Lower B class in collaboration with Upper B was successfully and en thusiastically run off However the class was not neglectful of its other duties as a unit The usual inter class teams were organized and although they did not fare as well as might be expected, the class tried its best, which after all is the essential thing The class undertook the management of the Triangle and put forth suitable representatives The Lower B Gossipe boasted two things the most colorful title of anv club paper, and the reputation of being one of the best class organs in school The class debating team was put out at the hands of Upper A but made a suitable showing, while the swimming team placed HSI Among the class leaders were Marvin Cohen, class president, Welford Wilson, track man and twice class secretary Bamberger, present secretary and Rosenfeld once class presi dent and member of the track team The Officers MARVIN COHEN P1 erzdenf ALBERT BAMBERGER Semefmy ELI BAUMAN T1eatu1e1 11:85 WHITMAN G O Relbferenfzztzzfe Englzrb R6lf716567lfdfI1!6.f Dicks, RABINOWITZ, SHORE HARTMAN, MEY1 RS RosrNFELD and MAYLRS . 1D 7 1 7 1 1 0 - 1 Q 1 . , g . . , , , . - Q L I 1 1 1 1 1 7 , 1 .
