IN APPRECIATION The Crimson and Gold takes this oppor- tunity to express sincere gratitude to those nine members of the faculty, each of whom gave unsparingly and unselfishly of himself in order that this might prove a better magazine. To Mr. Albert P. D'Andrea, under whose capable guidance the Art Staff gained the necessary artistic and creative inspirationg To Mr. Jacob A. Friedman, whose finan- cial genius was indispensable to the Business Boardg To Mr. David Goldway, whose invaluable assistance and advice materially aided the production of the literary sectiong To Mr. Bernard Perlmutter, leader of the efficient staff of salesmen which assured a large circulation early in the termg To Mr. Irwin Rothman, who supervised the intensive and successful advertising campaigng And to Messrs. Canfield, Dennett, Land- man, and Penn for their wholehearted co- loperationg-we express our thanks. We acknowledge our heartfelt gratitude to these gentlemen without whose combined support and aid, issuance of an outstanding and successful Crimson and Gold would have been a well-nigh impossible task. To the utmost, they are deserving of the meager and limited tribute which we tender. page one hundred eighteen

CRIMSUN AND GULD SECTIIIN Thousands of years ago the Pharaohs strove to erect their pyramids to unprece- dented heights. These everlasting monu- ments might be likened to the stupendous literary pyramid that the Crimson and Gold exemplifies. Each semester has marked the placing of another stone upon this edifice of achievement. At last, after a decade of pub- lications, the apex of the pyramid ap- proaches. The magazine is becoming more and more the embodiment of all Townsend Harris life. Although this magazine is sponsored by the Senior Class, it is a publication repre- sentative of the entire school. Every section has its editor who compiled serious, humor- ous, and interesting facts about each class and its members. Therefore what was pre- viously a catalogue of facts has resolved itself into an artistic and worthy literary creation. The massive pyramids still stand, unmoved by Time. And today, the Crimson and Gold, into an artistic and worthy literary creation. after a decade of struggling, remains the viously a catalogue of facts has resolved itself symbol of Harris efficiency and cooperation. It will not be long before the Crimson and Gold reaches that point where it may be con- sidered a perfectly polished publication. Then the students will look back and regard the January, 1934, issue as perhaps one of the finest in literary skill and genius, and one of the many great steps towards nearing the ultimate perfection of the Townsend Harris High School Yearbook. page one hundred seventeen

Technical Editor Though the eHorts of the Crimson and Gold staff this semester were centered on the literary work, much credit is due to both the art and business boards. Since the plan of this book necessitates an illustration for every page where no photograph appears, the art staffis responsibilities were practically dou- bled. Not alone did it undertake a task which previous groups had been unable to handle, but it produced every cut, including the cover, in linoleum. The business board was obliged to alter previous photograph scales and suc- cessfully arrange for a new system. A greater number of individual pictures proved to be additional work for the staff, but it ably mas- tered its problems. The literary content of this issue requires no comment. The indus- trious efforts of the entire Crimson and Gold staff, we hope, have been amply rewarded. page one hundred nineteen
