THE LOWER A RECORD Presldenf Robert Klein by Sidney Keilson Even a glance through past C. G. class editorials convinces one of their inaccuracy. The policy of previous editors has been one of favorable inclination towards all. Lower A groups In particular were lauded to the heavens, regardless of the inefficiency of their councils and the Incapability of their leaders. This term we have attempted to establish a precedent by making an impartial analysis based not upon opinion, but upon fact. The many criticisms and attacks directed against the Class of January, 1937 are not entirely groundless. Lower A IS sparsely represented on most of the student organizations. That fact is undeniable. That the present seniors far surpassed this record in their fifth semester Is a well-known fact. Why? The class that entered Townsend Harris in September, 1933 was composed of a group of unusual boys who established a most extraordinary scholastic record and who were of such high caliber as to combine successfully extra-curricular activities with their studies. However, not such an exceptional group enters Harris each term. In every class there is a group of boys who are instinctive leaders, and who usually are elected officers during the first few terms. However, the usual lead- ers did not come to the fore in the present Lower A class, and for five semesters this class has been struggling to gain a firm foothold In the school. A large part of the class ' s failure has been due to the lack of co-operation of the class members. Thus, in contrast to the previous Lower A class ' s record of three G. O. officers, eleven Arista mem- bers, and eight executives on the publications, the present fifth termers are weakly represented on the three major student organi- zations. FORTY-TWO
