LOWER B Lower B might well be classed as the turn- ing point in the career of a Harris student. It is here that he makes his debut in the various extra-curricular activities of the school. The class of June, 1935, realizing the im- portance of the class council, selected a truly efficient body to handle its affairs. The coun- cil, led by President Gottsegen, insured suc- cess through its prompt dealings with impor- tant measures. To Mr. Milella, the class advisor, is due much credit. His invaluable counsel contributed much toward the class' welfare. Foremost in the accomplishments of the Lower B's was the excellent mimeographed paper which was distributed regularly among the class members. The Lantern published, among other things, council news and ac- counts of the activities of the various class teams. Prominent also is the fact that a great many Lower B's acquired places on school teams and entered many other extra-curricu- lar fields. The intense interest of this class in school activities bodes well for the future success of the group. Journalists, securing positions on the school publications at this early stage, get the correct training necessary to make editors and business managers dur- ing the all-important senior year. Merely the continuation of this splendid 'work is needed to make the class of June, 1935, a successful one. e R. Gottsegen ,.... ....,......... P resident M. Deutsch ..., .,.... V ice-President J.

THE U.c BANQUET No longer are we frivolous youngsters, cried President Davidoff. No morelv harmonized three sopranos. '6No longer are we to be laughed at!,, con- tinued the worthy President. And nevermorelv came the monotonous trebles. We must have action befitting our sta- tion, Gentlemenf, said the President, stroking a non-existent beard, Gentlemen, we must have a functionlv Oh, goody, goody! exclaimed the daunt- less three. Glaser's solitary voice inquired, 4'Wl1at kind of function ? 66Boooooo! ,lump on him! A viper in our midst! A dangerous radical! A Trotsky! A Litvinoif! '4Please,,' interposed the President, uplease do not behave like those of inferior rank. An excited whisper, He means the Lower CQSP7 A small hand waved to and fro, emulating the movements ofa palm tree swaying in the caressing tropical breeze. Like a native call- ing to his love, a shrill voice piped up from the wilderness of the third row and said in a B.M.T.-ish manner, 44Let's go to Coney Ireland! Naw! said the Representative from Adenois, '4let's hab a pignigln Three hours passed-three hours beyond the wildest imagination of even a political speaker. Finally, Lewins, triumphantly re- taining his seat, having survived the loss of his tie and left sock, solemnly announced, An out-of-doors banquet wins. 66AIH6H,,, concluded the Three Graces. It is needless to say that the Council at- tended the picnic. They were all alone, but for the pretty ants-red ones and white, black ones and brown, biting and chewing at Dob- kin's moustache. The brilliant Austin Gold- man made a salad composed of ripe D,Amatos fEd. Note: This is a punj, pickles, sauer- kraut, and shoe polish. Having tried his own concoction first, he was given a watery bird in a goldfish bowl. Two venturesome chil- dren went rowing in a nearby lake. Then it began to rain . . . The U.C banquet was obviously one of the greatest functions the school has ever seen. It removed live successful competitors from the ineligible list and added them to the rapidly growing obituary. Upper C should be proud of those lads, they have made sacred in Har- ris those ideals of Americanism-seem a sucker, act a usuckerf' and be a usuckerf' 66 page eighty-seven
