Appreciating its im- mense yalue to the life of our School in the past, and realizing the inspiration it gave to our pupils, teachers and par- ents, the new administration desires to resume its issuance, and hopes to pre- serve all of its high literary standards. lt seems only fitting and proper that this issue, the first to be offered under the new principal, should 'be dedicated to the memory of him, who, for fourteen years, so ably, so faithfully, and so humanly devoted his life to the ser- vices of our School, and to the interests of its children. And so, in loving re- membrance of our former principal, we offer to his many friends and warm admirers, this In Memoriam num- ber. 'The sad news of Mr. Clark's death, announced, on the opening day of school, last September, was received with profound sorrow by teachers and pupils alike. At the first Senior As- sembly, Dr. John Dwyer, our District Superintendent, and very dear friend of our former principal, paid a beautiful tribute to his memory. With affec- tionate words, Dr. Dwyer described the lofty ideals and sterling qualities of Mr. Clark's character. The wave of rever- ence which swept over the Assembly manifestly showed that kindred feel- ings throbbed in every heart. The teachers of ZS, those who had labored in the same vineyard under his leadership-some for the entire fifteen years-held ai memorial meeting and unanimously voted to have the follow- ing set of resolutions adopted, en- grossed and presented to his family: P' Mrs. John King Clark: Whereas, It having been the wish and desire of our Heavenly Father in His Infinite Wisdom to remove from this Earthly Habitation and from our midst to that undiscovered Country from whose bourne no Traveler returns, your dearly beloved Husband, and our Esteemed Principal. It behooves us at this time to pay our homage of respect to one so near' and dear. Therefore be it Resolvedg That we sincerely lament the loss and demise of one you held so dear, well knowing that his death is a deep and sad loss, not only to you, but to the community of which he was such an uplifting influence, as well. And be it further Resolvedg That we extend to youg yourjimmediate relatives and friends, our deepest and heartfelt sympathy in this your hour of bereavement, com- mending you to the Great Spirit of the Universe, whose all-seeing Eyes guard us all, and whose Mercy and fiovver endureth forever. With deepest sympathy, we remain. The Teaching Staff of P. S. No. 23. Bronx. A Sketch of Mr. John King Cla'k's Life by His Daughter, Helen Father was born in the country towit of Sparkhill, Rockland County, New York, on August 30, 1856. He was the fifth child of eight. He was the younff- est and favorite son of his father, for whom he was named. But. unlike his father, whose interest centered on hunt- ing, fishing, and other outdoor sports Daddy's time was occupied in securing an education. I THE SPIRIT 0F OUR SCHOOL 3 ' t For a while he went to the Sparkhill Public School, but he left there and went to a small private school, run by a man who later 'became a great friend of his. His parents were not wealthy and it was hard for them to send him there. In fact, his mother had to save and plan to meet this expense, as his father did not approve of his being too highly educated. After leaving Mr. Bauer's little school, Father went to Clarkstown, where he taught his first class for the large sum of twenty dollars a month. Despite this small salary, Dad saved enough to put himself through the nor- mal school at Albany. While at Al- bany he met a Mr. Ackerman and a Mr. Ireland who were selling law books for a well-known Albany law firm. They persuaded Father to join them, and, after having been graduated from the normal school, he traveled with them a few years. After he gave up travel- ing' he became a clerk in the old New York post office. He did not like his position in the office, and hearing that 'there was a vacancy in the school at Milburn, New Jersey, he went out there and secured it. It was there that he met Mother, who was a kindergarten teacher. They were married in March, 1891, and in December they moved to New York. .New York he secured the position o ' A grade teacher under Mr. E. D. r . In about a month he was found to be a teacher in excess and transferred to oldi P. S. 85 under Mr. Jonathon Hyatt. He was soon trans- ferred to old P. S. 10 under Mr. Evander Childs. While teaching, he took a course at New York University and was graduated from there in 1899. He took the principal's examination and passed. He was given a position 'way down in Manhattan. After working there a few years he was transferred to P. S. 23, the Bronx. He devoted the remainder of his life to building that school into a strong power which turned out 100 per cent American citizens. Father was quiet but stern. His ideals in life were high and beautiful. He worked for the good of mankind and not for the almighty dollar. I don't ' 1 think he made one enemy in his whole life that stayed an enemy. Many times , his decisions seemed unjust andrather Wil, harsh, but they always proved to be ' -,JL for the best. 'ggi 'ia He liked nothing 'better than to '- 5 travel with his greatest friend, Dr. Dwyer. All summer he would jour- I ney over the world, then he would re- turn once more in a much better condi- tion to continue his work. Or, when not traveling, we would all go up to Ogunquiet, Maine, and spend a month or so. But, there, Dad became restless and he often said the Wanderlust had him and then again he would gm A' off on a trip. r .ti . -a He was religious in an A ' hted way. One did not have to 'b ng to his church to be his friend. His ideal religion, like that of St. James, was To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself un- spotted from the world Games I, 275. His interest in children and human na- ture was supreme. He was fond of, s children, especially boys. Several boys have been fortunate enough to come under his most intimate guidance, and I am sure those few are far better men for that opportunity. , All the arts, particularly music, ap- pealed to him. One of the disappoint- ment of his life was that neither of his children played or sang. He wa a choir boy and organist himsel Sundays, while during the wet it 'e . was pupil and teacher. ' 1 But these outside interests never for a moment interfered with his work as a leader of children. The 'foremost thought in his mind was always How can I help them more ? Always, school filled his mind. His physician told him so often that he must forget school and think more of himself. But, he couldn't. His whole heart and soul were wrapped in the words, My work first, last and always. After his retirement he would rest in the 'beautiful chair the teachers gave him and plan what he would do when he got stronger to better his school. Then he would remember it was no longer his to plan for. It was not until just before he died that he seemed to realize he was no longer to , A u 1 ' .J W.. .- va- YN, y xx Q - 'fwrwfigfij'f+42a'g1a5 G- - ' nr ' nffar 'f ': -,gvw rt-mv--L W J' rf. .-',1 . fl- THE SPIRITO F OUR SCHOOL goton with his life work. Then all he said was i-what his mother said' when she wlied, I accept. ' The Old Order Passeth Away During the past year, important changes in the organization of 23 have been in progress, transforming thei gerstwhile, full-fledged eight-year school into the modern type of elemen- tary 6B school. VVe are gradually los- ing the upper, 7A-SB grades. Last year the 7A and 7B classes were taken away, and on Febrauary 1, 1923 we shall lose the SA grade. The girls who graduate this week from our 8B classes are the last gif a long line of graduates to re- ceive their diplomas from 23 . In june, the present two SA classes will consti- tute the last graduating-classes of boys. Aft'er June, 1923, ZS will send its 6B Graduatesf' to the neighboring Junior High Schools. ' jgggi'-I f'Our Teaching Staff During' the past term several new members have joined our School-fac- ulty. .Miss Katherine Middleton, for- rnefg- of P. S. 40, Bronx, has come to fill the vacancy created in the Kinder- garten Department by the transfer of QMrs. Margaret Bertin to a school near hier home in Brooklyn, Mrs. Alma Lyle, member of a family of teachers, has 'been appointed to 23 to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mrs.. Feder. Miss Mona Williams, a well recommended teacher of P. S. 190, Manhattan, was transferred to our family to take the place of Mr. Frank Jackson, who has joined the ranks of P. S. 51, Bronx. We extend a hearty welcome to these new members, and hope that they will Find a happy schoolhome in 23 . To Mr. Jackson, so popular with the boys, we offer our best wishes for success. Of him we can truly say: 23's loss is 2'51's gain. 1' I CLASS OTE 8-A1 Bon-Ami Kaplan, our grammar de- ficiency cleanser. Our class boasts of a secret order rivaling the K. K. K.

There every child, who is tardy or late, is fined ten cents. As a result the school have 100 per cent. in punctuality. 6-B3 I like to work for money To help in class 6B, I I like to work for everything, But best for twenty-three. 6-B4 I Here are a few knog,ks heard in our classroom : I7 .1 'H 1. ,s4XY3!. A THE SPIRINT OF OUR SCHOOL VVe are a large family but often not quite happy because some of the fold at times make themselves conspicuous by their absence. Then, geography is one of our favor- ite subjects, but what are we to do when one of our sons asks quite inno- cently whether the Alps extend into Holland? As for an encyclopedia! We donit need a printed one, we have a living one in our midst. 6-A1 If you want to know how a fish breathes, ask a certain member of our class. He will throw out his chest and answer, Through its nostrils, of course. , 6-A2 In 6A 2 you'i'e sure to find Some girls and boys 'tis true Who know that when they harder grind They'll find great things and new. 6-A3 t When we ask for history, our girls give us hash.

Obey promptly, Be wide awake, Keep on trying, and Play fairly, are helping us to march forward in conduct and in our studies. 5-B3 Altho none of us may be Sons or Daughters of tr p 'W evolution, there is little we'don't k ow about the good old times. Some of us are stron on si ' - 'es r M if U Indians, Generals and Battles and others prefer the more peacef I pur- suits. We tried to show thijio our friends in our play entitled The First Crop of Apples or A Story of Prov- idence in Colonial Days. N- 5-B4 We hope those people in Belgium will soon get money enough to rebuild their library. The rumor that our own library in No. 23 was to be closed for some time made us very downhearted. Now that it is open afternoons we are very happy. That let's us in. 5-B5 ' The motto of SB 5 is Let's see what we can accomplish in spite of that. In order to understand it you have to belong, but we will tell you this much about it,-it's a pretty hard motto to live up to at times. However, when we do follow it we find it, mightily satis- fying.

Although we lost six A pupils by promotion, we are trying very hard to have some more for the rest of the term. .5-A4 We are a very sociable class. When it comes to Surprise Parties we cer- tainly do shine.

This has been our motto all term. We rank as one of the highest in attendance. Our room is one of the prettiest in the building. We enjoy coming to school. - 4-Al Entertainment on Dec. 8, l922, Her- man Windler recited: A Boy's Poc- ket. Nine little girls were in a play called Playing School.

During the term we have had many dramatizations and story telling hours, also study and question periods. 3-B3 We are a lively class but we try to lyttle our spirits and save them alI for our work-We are doing it too. Our hard work for. fmod posture saves us from putting our Wishbone where our backbone ought to be. 3-A1 We work very hard. We do our best. Then when work is over we enjoy our- selves. We never let a holiday pass Without celebrating it. On Hallowe'en we had a Cat and Witch party. Now, that Christmas is coming, we are prac- ticing for a pretty little play. We have a regiment in our class and all but one or two are soldiers. We st it and march very straight. 3-A2 Good posture is very important. We think of it very often. Since we began our efforts in that direction, most of us have grown two inches taller. 3-A3 ' 'Twas the week before Christmas, When all through the sgahbol Every creature was stirring, even the fuel, The children were studying as hard - as they could, j gf In hopes that their Christmas 43,5 Play would be good.

However, lively as we are in activities, we are just the same in Workg each one always tries his best to do his bit in class work and spirit to make 3A 4 as perfect as any 3A can be. 1 3-A5 Une year ago most of us were little 1B children, busy learning sounds and phonics also busy mastering number facts. We have also learned to read well. Look at us today, we are 3A's and in one month will be ready for 3B. We are still working, but no one seems to mind as it pays to work hard. ' 2-B1 X , .

Laura Adelson is our librarian. Health 'books are loaned to the mem- bers who have a good set of teeth, also those that are being treated by a den- tist. These cihildren are on the list: Vivian Epstein, Leona Cotton, Ruth Dobrer, Lester Saroff. The Dancing Club The Dancing Club, a newly formed organization, of P. S. 23 meets on Thursday afternoon of each week in the Gymnasium. The present members were chosen from a number of applicants and their interest is manifested by the regular- ity of attendance and their eagerness to learn. For Christmas the club has learned a dance which is to be presented to the assemblies of the third and fourth years by a portion of the club. The organization is under the direc- tion of Miss Files while Miss Fowler presides at the piano. The Woodstock Nature Club XVhat do we donat the W. N. C.? We meet each Thursday either to take a trip to a park or museum, or to .learn about a topic in Nature Study. After we have discussed a topic we write about it in our Nature Booklets. lVe paste articles and pictures relating to the topic in these booklets. Our ofhcers are: President, Ellis Markelg Secretary, Anna Antonie: Treasurer, Milton Weiss. The School Orchestra We are a small body of musicians but very active and greatly interested in our work. Our aim is to play the best music in the most artistic manner. To that end we sp'end every minute of our time at rehearsals in perfecting our technique and interpretation. The following are the members of this organization. First violins: Abe Rosenberg, SA 2: Leo Finklestein, SA 25 Jerome Sachs, SA 2, Max Ostrover, SA lg Milton Litvin, 6B lg Ascher Rosman, 5A 2.

The members who must keep themselves in a very high-class standing, meet Miss Apsel and Miss Foley in Room 310, on Tuesday afternoon at 3 : 05 P. M. The first part of the meet- ing is spent studying a selection for the whole group and then later, individual recitations are made for the benefit of the members who act as an audience Suitable suggestions for study have been made and, at eacl. meeting three members volunteer to be responsible . -.. 151- 1.

Even in the very short time since our organization, the members hav-e been able to a-ssist at entertainments and we lhope to be ready to do something for any teacher and our school, whenever the occasion arises. Miss Ruth Apsel, who has made a close study of Elocution since she was a tiny tot, came to our second meeting and re- cited several selections. Fortunately, Mr. Vlfestphal and Miss Merrill came to see us that day, too, so we felt unusually honored. Miss Apsel's selections were enjoyed so much that she promised to come again some time. The fourth, fifth and sixth year boys and girls who have an excellent schol- arship record and are interested in Elo- cution are invited to come to our first February meeting. We hope you'll like us, and if you meet all the require- ments for membership, come around to every following meeting. The dues are five cents a week, and are used for club materials. The officers are: Selma Cohen, President. Bertram Rothman, Secretary. Boys' Glee Club About thirty boys belong to the Glee Club. Every boy with a good voice is invited to join. i No one is urged or coaxed to become a member-for the club wants to feel that its members are sufficiently appreciative of music to come of their own accord. The club meets every Thursday at three o'clock, in the auditorium. So far, Miss Auspitz has been able to teach a new song each meeting, as the boys respond quickly. Some day soon the Boys' Glee Club of P. S. 23, Bronx, hopes to show its friends what it has learned this term. Girls' Glee Club Every Thursday afternoon the girls of the fifth and sixth years meet for a happy, musical time. President. Norma Shapirog vice- president, Evelyn Tranrigg secretary, Tillie Cohen. School Athletics ' Our Afternoon Center opened dur- ing the second week of the term much to the delight of our boys. Boys must play and the center gives them this op- portunity without the dangers incur- red in playing on the street. Here also the play is organized and the individual boy is made to feel that there are other members of his team who share in the play. We lost no 'time in organizing a schedule which gave all boys an equal opportunity of enjoying the center A series of tournaments was started. At the close of a series of hotly con- tested games Howard Schmidt, Milton Altholtz, Louis Heuer, Arthur Vtfestong Harry Eberson, Benjamin, Brooks, un- der the able leadership of Leo-Stern- berg won for SBB2. After this a basketball tournament was started. In this there were a senior and a junior team from each class. SBB 2, Isadore Rothbaum, Ccaptj Henry Gotthofer, Joseph Spezak, David Zobel and Nathan Katz won the senior honor while SAB 2, jacob Novak, fcaptj. Frank Weinkofsky, Milton Sadolsky, Sidney Schectman and Mor- ris Kromfield won the junior. Under the able coaching of Max Miller our school team composed of Henry Gotthoffer, Isadore Rothbaum, joseph Spezak, Milton Altholtz, Henry Vtfebster and Ornstein defeated all the Bronx schools in our division. Now that winter is upon us we are driven indoors and tug-of-war and wrestling will draw our interests. Phone Bryant 9444 Suite 711 JAWITZ PICTURES CORPORATION 729 Seventh Avenue Chas. N.

One morning a brisk little young- ster, burst into the room at 9 o'clock, flung back the door, called out S o'clock,' and calmy proceeded to his seat. Signs of an early morning rain storm could be seen on the blades of grass in the garden one hot day.

Many lives are lost every year through the carelessness of some peo- ple in not properly safeguarding their homes against fire. Often-times com- plete dwellings are demolished and folks left homeless, due generally to their own carelessness. Proper precau- tions should be taken, therefore, not only for the safety Qf themselves, but for others. The first step that should be taken toward fire prevention is that of clean- ing up rubbish in cellars. Keep the cellar clear of all boxes, bedding, trash, etc. Be,cautious in the use of matches. It is a good plan to keep them in a high and dry place and discard the used ones with care, plac-ing them in a metal receptacle. Fire escapes should be clear of plants, food boxes and rub- bish of any kind. See to it that oil cans are kept at a distance from stoves and heat of any kind. J In the event of gas leaks never use candles orpmatches. never leave small children home alone without being sure that the matches are high and dry and out of their reach. Numerous fires have been known to start in leaving matches around within the reach of small tots left alone. Oil rags placed loosely in a tin box will prevent spontaneous combustion. Do not leave lighted candles on a Christmas tree without careful watch- ing. Many.a happy Christmas has been spoiled by a dripping candle. Fireworks are another menace to the safety of people, especially when dis- played from apartment house windows, the sparks dropping on the awning be- low, thus causing trouble. Whenever leaving the home, -be sure that all gas jets are turned off. Never leave gas stffpves lighted when you are not there to .watch them. The same applies to h ' water heaters. Do not have sh'-ves or dryers over stoves. Keep waste paper baskets far away from THE SPIRIT OF OUR SCHOOL 19 heat and empty them regularly. Watch furnaces and flues when the winter season first opens. Have them thor- oughly cleaned and swept. Be sure that the house is kept clear of rubbish and unnecessary things. In conclusion, let us be careful and cleanly in all our doings, and as goes the old proverb, An ounce of preven- tion is 'better than a pound of cure. -Kathryn Edwards, 8 B4. Websterian Debating Society This society with a membership of 25 meets every Friday afternoon at 3115. Interesting topics are discussed and the members trained not only in the art of delivery but in quick thinking. Each candidate for membership in this society must, before his election, be passed upon favorably by the Inves- tigation Committee, which consists of Herbert Goodstein, Sidney Captain and Alfred Reisman. The Literary Committee, which se- lects the topics, consists of Herbert Pushkoff, Sidney Captain and Milton Sadolsky. Their purpose is to have entertainment as well as educational values in each debate. ' According to Mr. Jones, the organi- zation of such a society present great possibilities. It trains the youngsters to come before an audience and express their thoughts in logical fashion, in gooid understandable English. It keeps them in touch and actively interested in current events, making it necessary for them at all times to do much research Work, which they find beneficial and very interesting. The art of persuasion is taught them and the necessity of refuting the argu- ments of their opponents serves to keep them mentally alert, anticipating the points which the other side may ad- vance. The meetings are centers of interest, it is said. The members are present according to schedule, and many do not leave when the song for dismissal is sounded. The officers are Nathan Katz, presi- dentg David Grossman, secretary, and Sidney Green, treasurer. Compliments of . MRS. I-IILDA I-IUDES 1029 Kelly Street Compliments of MR. and MRS. M.

The man in the center is very tall and seems to 'be the master printer, and the others are two helpers. The one to the right is Working with greatest care in order to learn the trade. The man at the left is very old and is stand- ing in a courteous way paying his most careful attention to his master, who is examining a paper, in case some changes were to be made. The master wears a black hat and coat with a, white collar, and tight fit- ting trousers. The other two men, or his helpers, wear light coats with puffed sleeves. and aprons to prevent the clothing from getting soiled. The light in the room seems to come from a window near the ceiling, and strikes the table in the right corner, so that the room looks very dim. AUGUSTA NUSSFNBAUM, 6-A3 Our Library I like our library because it has in- teresting books on various subjects, and also because it is sunny and airy. Eight polished oak tables are placed in two sections in the room. Six polished oak chairs are arranged around each table for the pupils. A beautiful plant dccorates the center of each table. Mrs. Riccardo, our librarian, helps us to select books, and sits at a desk in front of the room. She is a very pleasant woman. On the left hand side of the room are arranged books for children. The right hand side of the room contains books for teachers. In the rear, the Wall is lined with reference books. Many beautiful historical pictures adorn the walls. The picture of Theo- Z are appropriate to an American Lib- erty Library. ' MARIO ADINOLFI. 5-B2 Our Classroom ' When you enter our classroom, you will think it interesting. It isxa sunny room. There are three windows at the side of the room and four windows at the back of the room. As you look around the room, you will see several posters and maps, which were made by pupils. Youiwill also see an Honor Roll on the side blackboard. We keep a weather chart on the blackboard. ' In the corner we have a cabinet, which contains many curious things which were brought from all parts of the United States. On the window sills we have many plants and Howers. These plants and flowers are properly attended to, for they are watered every day. I 'hope you will thing our room interesting and be anxious to see it.

My skin looks like rubber and is red in color. Under- neath I look like jelly. Some day a Greek fisherman will take me. I will be put on board a ship and be squeezed out. There will be noth- ing left of me but a skeleton. After that they will take me to a factory and clean me out. Then I will be ready for use. ARTHUR WASSERMAN, 4A3. THE SPIRIT OF OUR SCHOOL 21 3-B3 Columbus V Once in sunny Italy a boy was born. His name was Christopher Columbus. His father was poor and sent him to school until he was twelve years old. Then his father told Columbus to work for him, but Columbus did not like this for he wanted to be a sailor. Finally, he became a great sailor. In his days, the people thought the world was Hat, but Columbus thought the world was round. I-Ie begged the king and queen of Spain for money and some vessels. The queen took Colum- bus to the place where the ships were. Out of all the ships he picked three. The names of these ships were, the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. Columbus, wanted to go to India. It was a long trip. Finally they reached land. Red men with long black hair came down the beach to meet them. Columbus thought this was India, but finally he discovered that this was America. And from this we celebrate the day he discovered America. MILTON FRIEDMAN, Santa Claus Last year my mother told me if I would be a good liiby, and do my home- work every night she would ask Santa Claus to send me something for Christ- mas. I did everything she told me, and on the night before Christmas I hung up my stockings. The next morning I looked in my stockings and found toys in them. A This year I will try to do the same.

S. 23 The study of drawing includes all the branches growing out from it, as freehand drawing, color theory, design, composition, lettering, paper cutting and pasting and all sorts of handwork seems to be especially suitable to the development or unfolding of a definite plan. The children of P. S. 23 take a great interest in this subject. Through all these mediums the child is enlarging his knowledge and expe- rience of things about him that had perhaps been heretofore unobserved. His taste and judgement are being developed and his standards are being raised. GENEVIEVE C. DREW.

New York - , Q:---www . , 1 W -6 X 4 THE SPIRIT OF OUR SCHOOL 23 Self-Help Classes For the purpose of reducing the number of C pupils in grades 6B-SB, Mr. W'estphal has introduced a system of pupil-teaching which has helped ma- terially and yet has added no burden to the teacher. The C pupils are formed in classes which meet regularly on given days at stated hours. Those teachers who usually remain for half an houra or longer after three o'clock, two or three days a week, select that time. Then those teachers who always come early arrange to have the children meet them as they come in. A regular schedule is made out as, for example, 8B4: Mon.-8 :OO-8 140-Arith. Tues-8 100-8 :4-O-Arith. W'ed.-8 100-8 :40-Geog. Thurs.-8 100-8 240-Gram. F ri.-8 :00-8 :40-Gram. The pupil-teachers are chosen from the brightest in the class. Usually from two to six are selected, according to the number of C pupils, The children arrange themselves in groups at the board, one pupil-teacher for each group of two or three. They go to work im- mediately, leaving the teacher free to write up her plan or any other clerical work she may have to do. The follow- ing reports testify to the success of the plan: 6Bl-Pupil-Teachers--Joseph Wollif, Abraham Rozner, Simon Levine, Irving Liebowitz, David Greenwald. Time-Tues., Wed., 3 100-3130.

Dear Children of P. S. 23, The Bronx: Your Principal, Mr. Westplial, asked me to contribute an article to your magazine, on some phase of music. I wish to congratulate you on the splendid work that has been accom- plished during the past year. The tone, quality in the assembly, and class- room has improved, and, by that, I mean that you have learned to sing with sweeter, gentler tone. There have been better results in enunciation-that is, you have sung the words in your songs more plainly. because you have opened your mouths. and pursed your lips well forward, and also, made your lower jaw work freely. Of course, children, you know that these good results in music could not have been attained without the splen- did co-operation of your Principal, Miss Merrill, Miss Donehue and your faithful teachers. ' I am indeed happy that your new Principal, Mr. Westphal, is as keenly interested as was also your late Prin- cipal, Mr. John King Clark. Let us all put forth greater effort and aim to be the sweetest singers in Buy Your Suits .tgwgreater New York Schools! and Furnishings AT F ORDON'S BOYS' SHOPS Outfitters for Up-to-Date Boys ' 893 PROSPECT AVENUE Franklin Theatre Bldg. lifsltiin you and your teachers and everyoneiE1,p,P l' , 23 a Very Happy New Year, I am gawk Sincegg yours, I AUGUSTA WILL, Special Teacher of Music, Districts 17, 18, 19, The Bronx.

S No matter what our task feel that cooperation is gladly given by all is surely half the game. There are many things to strive for and much hard work must be done in the attain- ment of them if a school prides itself on having a model physical training department. Good posture should be the password on entering school each day. Smart, military marching should be practiced in the glassggooms and au- ditorium as well asfinjthe gymnasium. VVork for alertness and accuracy in all formal exercises and lastly always keep in mind a spirit ofgood sportsmanship in games. But, P. S. 23, having the foundation of cheerful co-operation that you have. you are bound, given a little time, to build up your physical training so that it will take first place. GERTRUDE F. DUFFY.
