the commercial branches in F ran k l in School. Esteemed by his pupils, revered by his fellow-teachers, Charles Gorsline h ad made a place for h i m self in F ran k l in w h ich will long endure. T o h im these lines of L o n g fe l lo w seem especially appropria te :

T is indeed m y pleasure to greet you and extend to you on behalf
y of the class of 1 9 4 0 a most joy fu l welcome. T o n ig h t , this n igh t
of our graduation , we are stirred w i th tw o em otions; sadness at
the th o u g h t of leaving the friends we have made and the teachers w h o have
been so helpful to us; then joy, for at last we have come to the realization
t h a t we have completed another phase in our lives.
In the days to come, I earnestly hope and do believe th a t we shall meet
and renew the old acquaintances th a t we have made. I k n o w we shall
never forget our instructors w h o have endow ed us w i th more th an ju s t an
education. T h e y have instil led in us virtues th a t we shall never lose.
W e are entering seas we have never charted before. W e are p lan n in g
to pursue different professions and businesses. W h e th e r o r n o t we reach
o u r final goal is h a rd to say in these times, b u t success or failure, we &ha\l
do o u r duties as loyal citizens.
In the name of m y class, I again t h a n k you for your presence here
and hope th a t this evening will prove jo y fu l as well as memorable.

I J I P O N delving in to the annals of F ran k l in School h is tory , I V / / / fo und tha t this present g raduat ing class h a d its inception in
September of 1929. O n looking still further, I came across three familiar names: “ M a n n y ” K rulwich , “ E dd ie” Ballin, and “ B il ly ” Marcus, ou r charter members. Since th a t early beginning, the class of 1940 , like T o p s y , “ just growed and g row ed .” A fte r add ing “ E dd ie” W il l iam s in Intermediate III, there was no w ay of recording the rapid g ro w th of the class. T h i s year it has numbered th i r ty students.
W h a t we can gather f rom fo lk lore concerning those early years is very little indeed. I t can be stated, however, th a t they were extremely hap p y years. T h e y did pass quickly though , perhaps a litt le too quickly. T h e re was a note of tragedy also w h en Charles W eil passed aw ay in Ju n io r II.
T h e first real taste of w o rk came in the In termediate grades, w hen the scope of w o rk was really broadened. D u r in g those years, a l th o u g h the class practised frequently, the penm ansh ip prize always managed to elude us.
T h e h igh school years made us w o rk m uch harder, b u t also afforded us a good m an y laughs. I d o u b t if we shall ever forget the antics of George Goldberg, B u r t Zucker, or Dave Friedm an. D eba t ing was our m ain co m petitive endeavor in our first years of h igh school, b u t t ry as we m ig h t we were always overcome in the interclass debates.
We, however, were b o rn athletes. Ever since “ S a n d y ” Seltzer and M ar t in D o r f m a n entered F ran k l in back in Senior C, they have been the m ains tay of our athletic teams. T h i s year w i th the able assistance of B u r t Zucker, our basketball team had one of the best seasons in the h is to ry of the school. W e also m onopolized this year’s baseball team, w h ich h ad a fair season.
T h i s year’s graduat ing class was also quite active in school pub lica tions. In Senior B we placed our first m an on the Red and Blue in the person of Herbert Brummel, w h o acted in the capacity of assistant editor. T h i s year we captured most of the im p o r tan t positions on th a t publication. M ar t in Eisenstadt held d o w n the posit ion of editor-in-chief, while Herbert B rum m el and Jay T o p k is acted as associate editors.
T h i s spring was one which we shall long remember. I t was one of general happiness, b u t mixed w i th this there were also elements of crushed hopes and d isappointments . W e shall p robab ly remember it as
T W E N T Y - F O U R »

the period w hen M r. K ern 's w i t was at its keenest, Mr. W e l l in g ’s criticism the sharpest, and our H eadm aster 's unders tand ing the greatest.
In the task of w r i t in g h is tory , the scholar tu rns to first sources for his au th o r i ty . C onsequen tly it occurred to me th a t those w h o could best fu rn ish the data and d raw conclusions concerning the class of 19 4 0 w ou ld be o u r revered and h o nored teachers. W h e n I suggested the procedure to one of m y classmates, he advised me no t to tem p t for tune in this m anner. Yet the true h is to r ian is ever seeking t ru th . Bravely, therefore, I approached m y teachers w i th this question, “ H o w w o u ld you characterize, in one sentence, you r op in ion of the class of 1 9 4 0 ? ”
T h e answers were a lm ost all the same. M r. M ag n u s seriously “ had n o th in g to say ,” while M r. Berenberg expressed himself in these well chosen w ords, “ O n advice of counsel, I refuse to com m it m yself .” Never theless, u n d au n te d by these statements, which signify no th ing , we still believe we are F r a n k l in ’s best g raduat ing class.
B u t the h is to ry of a class is n o t complete upon g radua t ion from school. T h e fu ture is ours, still to achieve in the spirit of F ran k l in . N o t un ti l the last reunion is a ttended can all our accomplishments be recorded. W e hope th a t they will be m an y and great, an h o n o r to F ran k l in and to our land w h ich we have learned to love dur ing o u r school days.

Its characters are our b o y h o o d friends and our h igh school teachers: friends w i th w h o m we have passed m an y pleasant hours , an d w i th w h o m we have h ad so m an y unforge ttab le experiences; the teachers w h o have opened our eyes to the problem s of a troub led w o r ld an d the vastness of the universe in which we live. M a n y of us w ill take separate courses u p o n the seas of life, b u t the memories of our fr iends and teachers of F ra n k l in School will linger on forever.
T h e m ost im p o r ta n t p o r t io n of this chapter of our lives has been devoted to the fo u n d a t io n we have received th a t w il l better enable us to cope w i th the p roblem s th a t w ill arise in our later lives. W e have w ri t ten the record of our s tay in F ran k l in School ourselves, b u t our h an d s have been guided wisely and carefully b y o u r teachers, and the pages in the remain ing p o r t io n of the s tory will be w r i t ten each day w i th less guidance by others. N o greater t r ibu te can be paid to any in s t i tu t io n of learning th an to say th a t it enabled its graduates to meet successfully the problem s of life. W e o f the Class of 1940 are confident th a t we shall meet and co n quer the obstacles in our path .
T h e ink of the last w ords of this scene are d ry ing qu ick ly : w i th remorse the pen is re turned to the inkwell . T h e page is tu rn ed ; the chapter is ended; b u t w i th the d aw n of a new day the next chapter w ill begin.

M IDM IG-HT Q U A tM c
few days before the final exam ina tions , it became ap p a ren t to the headmasters th a t som eth ing was w ro n g w i th some o f the senior boys. A n x io u s parents con t inued to telephone and
express apprehension ab o u t their sons’ ta lk ing in their sleep. A t length to p u t an end to in terrup tions , the headmasters called a conference of all the m others w h o h ad sh o w n characteristics o f disturbance. In response several m others appeared, their faces lined w i th apprehension of im pend ing disaster. Y e t as they faced M r. Berenberg and M r. Hall , n o t a m o th e r w o u ld voice her troubles. A t length the principals learned th a t each of the ladies w an ted a secret meeting, forces were divided, and whisper ings began.
T o introduce each scene in detail doubtless w o u ld be boring , rince the setting was m uch the same. T h e boys h ad been ta lk in g in their sleep and h ad uttered statements incomprehensible to the m others . T h e stories were to ld hesitatingly, fa lteringly.
“ I am worr ied ab o u t Herbert . Las t n ig h t in his sleep, he exclaimed, ‘In an oblique triangle A B C , it is k n o w n th a t T a n A = 3 / 4 cos B = 5 / 1 3 and A B = 1 0 . F ind , w i th o u t the use of tables, sin C and sides A C an dBC. D this mathematics. I ' l l never pass a College Board . I ’m goingto forget all m y m a th as soon as I become an engineer.’ ”
I am w orried ab o u t Billy. A t tw o o ’clock this m o rn in g he shouted. ‘Guess I better s tudy , s tudy , s tudy! Loafing doesn’t pay h a l f as well as bet t ing on a baseball lo ttery. Still I better s tudy , s tudy , s t u d y ! ’ ”
“ I am w orr ied ab o u t W alte r . N ig h t before last in the m ids t o f his sleep he in toned in the m ost m elodious voice:
‘A rm a v i rum que cano, T ro ia e qu i p r im us ab oris Ita l iam, faro profugus, Lav in iaque ven i t . ’
N o w w h a t sense does th a t make at m id n ig h t? ”
“ I am worried ab o u t George. T h re e n ights ago he ejaculated, 'Y o u can ’t make a fool o f me by forcing geometry d o w n m y th roa t . W h a t do I care ab o u t old P y th ag o ras? H e ’s dead: isn’t he? N o , I d id n ' t make a w ise crack. If I smile because I ’m good natured. I ’m jus t creating a disturbance. C u t ou t th a t nonsense, Seltzer. I tell you w e ’ve got to pass.’ ”
T o these and o ther stories, equally strange, the headmasters listened. In scientific terms they expla ined th a t the boys were suffering f rom j i t t e r bugs because of exam inations. A n d at length, so m ew h a t mollified, the m others retreated, and the telephone calls ceased, restoring peace to the office.

o , ,n H m u sh ro o m precision for the last few years, school-papers
have arisen dur ing the n igh t on ly to die at the close of a few
days of painfu l s tr iv ing for life. Such appeared to be the fate
of the Councilor founded in the fall of 19^8 by Messrs. Buschhoff and
Kling of the class of 1942. W i t h a lm ost clocklike accuracy, however, the
Councilor has cont inued to appear and to give delight to the members of
the school. T h e last issue, vo lum e II, N u m b e r 7, was in several respects
the best yet published.
A l th o u g h the Red and Blue records school news, it is often ra ther
stale by the time the magazine has ru n th ro u g h tw o proofs and finally
appeared. Such has n o t been the case w i th the Councilor. F requen tly
af ter an exciting basketball or baseball contest, the school paper has come
fo r th w i th an accurate report of the game before the cheering has fu lly
cleared aw ay . N otes ab o u t teachers, s tudents, lectures and enter ta inments
have added m uch to appraise the progress of the school year. N o r has
the Councilor been modest in offering criticisms of events. I t has been a
pub l ica t ion alive, eagerly sough t for by the boys in the h igh school, some
of w h o m , strange to say, preferred the Councilor to the d a y ’s lessons.

B u t it was n o clearer th an the spark ling eyes of the con t ingen t th a t s tood ready to board the boa t for Ind ian P o in t . T h e younger lads h a d visions of athletics dancing in their m inds : the older ones gazed across at a g ro u p of girls as o ther visions ( w h o k n o w s w h a t? ) danced in their heads: and to the tem po of a soft lu l laby visions of com for tab le deck chairs ajid a cool breeze w a l tzed n im b ly across the tired craniums of the teachers. A l l were, for tuna te ly , satisfied.
Scarcely have an y dreams been realized so completely as were these. E n route to the P o in t the faculty successfully fo u n d their lo ng- looked- fo r deck chairs. Some seniors gathered on the to p deck w hile o thers retired to the lower deck tO' display the ir special forte in dancing. Par tners , m ost luckily, were easy to find. As fo r the younger chaps, no one can really say where they w e n t or w h a t they did. One can, however, safely state th a t there was n o t one square inch of the bo a t th a t remained unexplored by them. W h e n In d ian P o in t was sighted, we prepared to disembark.
M r. King, w i th his usual foresight, had arranged to have a large athlet ic field placed at our disposal. A n d it was in this direction th a t we immediate ly proceeded.
