1 C O N S I D E R it a great h o n o r to welcome y ou this evening on beha lf of the
g radua t ing class of 1941 . T h i s m ay appear to be a simple task, b u t I find
myself em otional ly dis turbed. T o n i g h t we experience one of the greatest
occasions of o u r lives and are very h a p p y — b u t too soon m u s t these greetings be
m ingled w i th the re luc tant adieux which necessarily fo l lo w these ceremonies. H ig h
above the trad i t iona l phrases of the sa lu ta to ry , however , rise o u r deepest
sentiments— o u r h u m b le and heartfe l t gra ti tude to o u r paren ts and teachers.
W e have already expressed to our parents all the deep apprecia tion in our
hearts fo r their loving patience an d for their labors an d trials w i th us. B u t
we have yet to t h a n k our headmasters and teachers fo r their un fa i l ing guidance
and their pa ins tak ing efforts b o th in and ou t of class. W e salute them all;
f ro m those w h o coddled us t h ro u g h the sh o r t -p a n ts era to those w h o have
steered us t h ro u g h the perilous college boards.
I t w o u ld seem w ishfu l th in k in g to hope th a t we as a g ro u p m ay never
be together again. W e shall n o w go our separate ways, b u t such long associations
canno t be dismissed l ightly . T h e rich fr iendships developed at F ra n k l in
School w i th their fo n d memories of h a p p y days will a lw ays b in d us in their
spiri tual grasp. H ow ever slim be the chance th a t we m ay again assemble,
we shou ld offer a prayer of th an k s fo r the m an y privileged h ours already spent
in an Am erican school.
A n d n o w — w h a t we have done in the past and shall do in the fu tu re
will be revealed m o m en ta r i ly by our h is tor ian and p rophe t . W h a t we are do ing
r igh t now , though , is to welcome you to these exercises and th a n k you for
coming.

C l a s s H i s t o r y/ " [It ^HE task of the h is tor ian calls for pat ient research and unbiased
I in to fo rgotten corncrs he m ust look for hidden manuscripts . M u s ty old
III archives long hidden in such places as the Bodleian L ibra ry and the L ib ra ry
of Congress m ust be dusted off and carefully deciphered. W h e n in m y a t tem pt
to u nea r th the h is tory of the class of 1941 of F ran k l in School, I called at the
Archives B ui ld ing in W a sh in g to n and presented m y problem, the research
assistant looked at me in dismay. I was discouraged immediately, b u t recalling
the fact th a t Secretary M o rg e n th a u had graduated f rom F rank l in , I hurried
for his assistance. He received me k ind ly enough, b u t said tha t no one in
W a s h in g to n was certain of an y th in g th a t had occurred in the last ten years.
Back to F ran k l in I w en t and inquired of the headmasters for data bearing on
the subject. T h e y b ro u g h t fo r th old records largely filled w i th school marks,
b u t alas. I h ad seen too m an y of them already. I recalled a few interviews of
the past w h e n I h ad presented m y m o n th ly statistics at home. I resolved, there
fore, to t h ro w research aw ay and t rus t largely to m em ory : for after all, I
believe th a t m uch of our h is to ry has been w ri t ten in th a t manner.
T h e year 1930 was quite eventful for Eddie Kean, Bob Stein, W al te r
Shevell, Charles W allach , and me. It was then th a t the class of ’41 entered the
m ig h ty porta ls of F ran k l in School. As the years passed, boys came in and ou t
of the class un ti l finally we at ta ined the q u o ta which you see before you ton ight.
T h e P r im a ry grades passed ra ther quickly. W h a t else could be expected
w i th one period of the three R ’s m ixed in between every three of either gym,
shop, or d raw ing . W h e n we passed in to the In termediate grades, our w o rk
began to broaden a little. W e became acquainted w i th such studies as spelling,
com posi t ion , geography, and his tory . I t was in b o th In termediate II I and IV
th a t we p roved ourselves to be superior penm en by w in n in g the penm ansh ip
p laque tw o years in a row. D u r in g the years we passed in In termediate IV our
inventive skill was b ro u g h t to the f ro n t by W a l te r Shevell. One very slushy
m o rn in g as W a l te r entered the classroom, he made queer sound ing noises w i th his
feet. U p o n investigation it was discovered th a t he h ad chains attached to them.
W h e n asked w h a t these chains were for, W a l te r replied th a t since automobiles
used chains to keep f rom skidding, the same principle m ig h t be applied to the
h u m a n foot.
In our J u n i o r I and II years the urge to t h r o w th ings seized us. In J u n io r
I we developed the taste for the trem endous chalk fights w h ich we held in J u n io r
II du r ing our lunch periods. T h e climax to these fights came w h en someone
T w e n t y - t h r e e
TH E FRANK LINITE
decided to t h ro w a piece o f cha lk at a b oy w h o was s tand ing at an open w in d o w .
T h e chalk sailed by the in tended v ic t im ’s head an d landed on the head of a
person si t t ing in a room across the street. T h u s ou r cha lk f ighting days came to a
ra ther inglorious end.
In Senior C we were exposed to o u r first real test: t h a t of tak ing College
B oard exam ina t ions at the end of the year. M r. W e l l in g encouraged us by
asking such questions as “ H o w m a n y b u t to n s did N a p o leo n have on his coat
w h en he w en t in to the batt le of W a te r lo o ? ” W h e n we looked up in utter
ignorance, he to ld us th a t n o t one of us m oron ic look ing p i thecan th ropes h ad

have nervous b reakdow ns came th ro u g h the exam in a t io n w i th flying colors. In the extra-curricular field we placed a m an or tw o o n the basketball team and
the stalT of the “ Red and B lue .’’ In Senior B we m anaged to place a few more
men on the staff of the “ Red and B lue ,” pass some more boards w i th very h igh
ra tings in m os t cases, and add a few stars to the basketball squad.
T h i s year we held d o w n the m ain posi t ions on the magazine, a n d w i th one
or tw o exceptions the boys of our class made up the three vars ity teams. T h o u g h
the season was no t too successful on the credit side of the ledger, we m ade up for this by en joy ing ourselves tho rough ly .
W e were the m ost social class F ra n k l in has produced in a long time. W e
held one dance for the benefit of the F ra n k l in Ath le t ic Association. O n the outside we at tended a dance at Bentley and ano the r at Scoville.
A n d n o w before closing I ’d like to t h a n k the faculty on behalf of the class
and myself for the devotion and guidance w h ich they have given us t h ro u g h o u t
the entire course of our school career, and w i th o u t w h ich our h is to ry could never have been as successful as it has been.

I' ^ A T E F U L was the day 1 first learned tha t to me had fallen the task of
foretelling the fu ture of the boys w h o m you see here ton ight. H av ing been plagued by this assignment all th a t day, I decided to relieve my
miseries tem porari ly by visiting a Newsreel T hea t re . It m ust have been the darkness of the theatre th a t completely affected b o th m y th in k in g appara tus and m y im agina t ion , for suddenly everything took an entirely different aspect. One by one the faces of the characters on the screen seemed to fade out. In their stead appeared the countenances of the class of ’41, which gave the impression of h av ing aged th i r ty years.
T h e re was H o l ly w o o d actor H o w a rd F rank , w h o had been b ro u g h t before Ju d g e Laurence R osan for assaulting his m o ther - in - law . F r a n k ’s lawyer, W il l iam Kellner, said th a t his client, w h o had visited his dearest relation expecting a big meal, had received n o th in g b u t cold shoulder and tongue.
T h e next b i t of news was on the latest developments in the realm of science. C hem is ts A n d re Weil and Bruce Blickm an while w o rk in g for the H en ry M orgenste rn research laboratories had created a miraculous new seven- colored pill for those w h o relish dreaming in technicolor.
R euben Rose h ad also become inspirational, I noticed. In his spare m om ents he h ad devised a new type of railroad track w i th b u t one rail. T h i s saved metal and was perfectly safe he said af ter the trial test. Specialists Charles W allach a n d A lfred M an h e im were sum m oned immediately , and b o th agreed Reuben w o u ld be up and a ro u n d in several weeks.
In the field of aeronautics the name of E d w a rd M iller attracted m y a t ten t ion. I t seems E d w a rd h ad caused a revolu t ion in the telephone business by equ ipp ing his airplane w i th a telephone th a t h ad no mouthpiece, for he explained he was in the h ab i t of ta lk ing th ro u g h his nose.
U n d e r the heading of religion were ex t rao rd inary movies taken by Ace Newsreel P h o to g ra p h e r A lan Harris of F a th e r J o h n L ip p m an n , whose sermons on crime h ad taken the co u n try by storm. H erbert F r iedm an , Joel Nackenson, a n d R o b er t D o u rm a sh k in , the chief executives of the Jello C o m p an y , h ad been so influenced by the preachings of F a th e r J o h n th a t they n o w produced on ly s t raw berry , raspberry, cherry, orange, and lemon. As they p u t it, “ L im e doesn’t p a y . ”
T h e faces of business men Bob H aber and Stanley K a h an were the next to be flashed on the screen. T h e y h ad w o n m uch recognition as the makers of A m er ica’s best shoes, for dur ing the recent business relapse b o th h ad a lmost s ing le-handed ly kept m os t Americans on their feet. Nevertheless they were termed as heels by some while they were really sole supporters of Democracy.
T h e en te r ta inm en t w o r ld presented the success s tory of R ober t Stein and E d w a r d Kean. D ru m m e r Stein and pianis t Kean h a d combined to fo rm their o w n b and , w h ich h ad w o n every poll in the coun try largely because of the pub l ic i ty of their m anager N o rm a n Meyer. T h e y featured melodies under the s logan of “ Y o u ’re A F o o l” music: T h e y p lay for th i r ty m inutes ; and if you w a n t more. “ Y o u ’re A F o o l . ”

Presently I discerned the sports news of the day. T h e r e was the new golf
cham pion Si Alper t , w h o had recently w o n the na t io n a l open to u rn am en t .
M odes t Si h a d given all the credit for his success to the orig inal inven t ion of
W a l te r Shevell. T h i s was an unbelievable machine th a t au tom atica l ly tu rned
golf balls upside d o w n for those w h o were in the hab i t of to p p in g the ball.
F lash! R ober t Dince, the k ing of the mater ial indus try , in a s ta tem ent to
the press reported th a t all com plain ts ab o u t business were im materia l to h im ,
for as far as he was concerned, the cond i t ion of the fabric profession was goods.
I also saw th a t advertising m an M arv in Gilbert h ad recently caused a sen
sation. He h ad m atched Peter Stern and Joseph Claster, the star outfielders
of N e w Y o rk and B ro o k ly n respectively, in a pancake-eat ing contest. Joe h ad
eaten so m a n y th a t w h en he was asked h o w he felt, he replied, “ H o w Waffle!
I canno t s top ta lk ing in griddles.” Dr. P au l A a ro n so n said he w o u ld a t tem p t
to cure this unusual speech impediment.
S udden ly everything w en t b lank. I felt a tap on m y shoulder and then
heard a voice say, “ Sorry, sir, the theatre is closing n o w . ” D azed I realized
I w as back in the present again and then began to make m y w a y to the street.
Nevertheless one th o u g h t was upperm ost in m y m in d ; A l th o u g h some of these
prognost ica tions m ig h t n o t be fulfilled, h o w w o n d e rfu l it w o u ld be if in 1971
all the members of the class of 1941 were to have their lakes overflowing w i th the waters of success.

VA L E D I C T O R Y ! T h i s is the par ting word, the final tho u g h t , the last
remarks of a s tudent of the g raduat ing class. T o n i g h t we are b idding
tarewell to F ran k l in School: to F r a n k l in ’s fr iendly classes and halls; to
patient, sym pathetic teachers: to our classmates; and to pleasant memories of
days and events th a t have passed. F o r years we have eagerly awaited the H o u r
of C om m encem ent, and T im e , fa i th fu l to those w h o wait , has served this m o m e n t on a coruscating platter.
T h u s today is our C om m encem ent Day. B u t w h y commencement?
C om m encem en t is a beginning and no t an ending. A n d if we are leaving
F rank l in , w h y call to n ig h t a beginning? T h e answer is th a t we are s tart ing
a new phase, a new chapter, in our lives: we are commencing a commercial or a college career.
T h i s year the Senior class has read H enry L. M encken’s au tob iog raphy
;tlappy D a y s , ” in which the au th o r port rays his y o u th fu l life as a lad in the
B al t im ore of the Nineties. Despite the fail ing remembrance of a sexagenarian,
M r. M encken ably describes his ne ighborhood , his years in school, and c o u n t
less o ther seemingly trivial events w hich have remained green in his memory.
T h ese were his “ H a p p y D a y s .” P erhaps one day w h en we are old, some silent
souvenir will b r ing back these times to us as clearly and as v ivid ly as M r.
M encken has recalled his boyhood .
Perhaps one day w h en we are old and gray,
Some yellowed sheet th a t caught our passing glance
W il l conjure up a hos t of visions gay W h ic h fo n d im agina t ion shall enhance.
Perhaps the clouds of T i m e shall roll away,
Reveal the day we entered F ran k l in first,
Impelled by th irs t for knowledge, and po r t ray
H o w we essayed to satiate th a t thirst .
P erhaps u p o n the Screen of T i m e we m ay
Perceive those scenes th a t we remember best,
T h e H a p p y D ays lined up in long array,
O u r m in d can focus there at o u r behest.
B u t th a t w h ich in o u r soul shall a lways stay
W il l be the p ro u d remembrance of this day.

B a s k e t b a II K / I King 's th ird full season as head coach of F rank l in 's quin-I V I tot appeared on the surfacc a glorious bust. Yet there is more to III -ill It th an meets the eye. Mr. King was forced at the start of the year to organize practically a complete new team. Last year's bri l l iant five had almost all been lost via the graduat ion route. F rank l in pu t for th a team this year tha t was quite capable yet suffered from an unusual am o u n t of unsteadi ness. T h i s was und oub ted ly the squad 's most serious flaw.
T h e one t r iu m p h the fates al lowed us was in a M etropo l i tan Private School League contest w i th Barnard . Led by the bri l l iant p lay ing of C ap ta in PeterStern, w h o scored eighteen points , we defeated our rivals 32-31 in an overtime period. P reviously we had lost to Staten Island and the A lum ni , and we soon fell before W oodm ere Academy and T o w n s e n d Harris. A t this stage in midseason, the team was struck w i th various illnesses and injuries tha t caused several pos tponem ents in our schedule.
T h e n came the second and more im p o r tan t ha l f of the season. T h i s half witnessed a succession of league games in which we were seemingly brushed aside w i th ease. T w o beatings were administered by Fieldston, in one of which ou r op po nen ts rolled up a record score. L incoln t r iu m p h ed twice, and Barna rd also gained their revenge for our earlier over time victory. T h e last tw o games witnessed the best and w ors t in F rank l in basketball. W e lost a n o n league t i lt w i th B irch -W athen , p lay ing in poor form, and then rose to the heights against Lincoln . In this final game, before a large and enthusiastic crowd at the Heckscher gym, we played our best b u t were forced to succumb, 24 -22 .
T h e regular team consisted of four members of the Class of F o r ty -O n e : Peter Stern, the team ’s h igh scorer, Joe Claster, B u d d y Gilbert, and H o w a rd F rank . T hese boys were jo ined by Mel Nadel of Senior C, a coming star. T h e reserve squad consisted of Messrs. Shevell, L ip p m an n , Aaronson, Wallach, Dince, F r iedm an , and Israel. All deserve praise for the time, energy, and spirit they gave fo r their school. I t was a long and hard season, and we were not a victorious group, b u t we were in, ba t t l ing all the w ay and hav ing fun doing it. Credit also m u s t be given to our young J u n io r V ars i ty team, th a t w h ip ped a physical superior L inco ln School squad.

Th e F ra n k l in School baseball team managed to make a fairly creditable
show ing th o u g h it lost the great m a jo r i ty of its games. O u r o pponen ts
had to w o rk h ard to w in and a lw ays knew they had been in a real ball
game. O u r open ing clash was w i th Kew Forest. Peter Stern held the Long
Islanders to three runs, b u t we w'ere b lanked as on ly Joe Claster and J o h n L ipp- m a n n solved the baffling slants of the oppos ing pitcher.
O u r chief foe, F ie ldston, walloped the Red and Blue outfit, 11-3. S te rn ’s
first inn ing hom er w i th tw o men aboard proved our o n ly solace. W e were
unable to score thereafter against F ie ld s to n ’s L a r ry W eissman, a former F ran k l in
boy himself. P lay in g at the V a n C o r t l a n d t S tad ium , we fell before the ba t t ing
prowess of B arn a rd School. O u r rival belted ou t a total of ten runs, knocking
from the bo x our y o u n g pi tch ing ace, R ichard N a th a n . A m ild rally of three
runs in the last frame gave our supporters som eth ing to cheer about .
O u r one t r i u m p h was at the expense of the L inco ln School. A sudden,
unexpected, la te - inn ing o u tb u rs t of nine runs by F ran k l in sewed up the game,
the final score being 1 1-3. In our last contest w i th T o w n s e n d Harris , in Centra l
P a rk , the team was erratic and ragged. O ne m o m e n t of M err iwel l sen t im en ta l
ism came w h e n Joe Claster, in his last t ime at bat, c l imaxed a ster l ing athletic
career by sm ash ing a trem endous h o m e-ru n to deep left field.
T h e regular infield consisted of L ip p m a n n at th i rd . Stern at short , and
Eddie F r a n k at second, while M arv in Israel and B u d d y Gilbert shared first. Si
A lpe r t an d Claster spli t the catching duties, and Gilbert , Claster, H o w ie F rank ,

Th u r s d a y , J u n e 5 , 1 9 4 1 , the day F ra n k l in School was to take its annua l ou t ing to Ind ian P o in t , d aw n ed dark and dismal. So u n k in d were the fates th a t the rain which h a d started on W edn esd ay cont inued t h r o u g h
ou t all T h u r s d a y , forcing a p o s tp o n em en t of the trip . T h i s delay, however, did n o t b r ing any d isap p o in tm en t to the members of the senior class, still tired f rom the n ig h t spent a t the D ia m o n d Horse Shoe, im mediate ly af ter g radua t ion .
F r id ay made up for all the bad weather wh ich h a d preceded it. A nicer day to go on an ou t ing was never seen. All the s tudents , members of the faculty, and some parents made their appearance at the 1 2 5 th Street dock and p ro m p t ly at 10 .20 em barked on the A lex a n d er H a m il to n for the voyage to In d ian P o in t .
F o r h a l f of the upper classes the tr ip up was one long game o f g in - ru m m y . Some of the o ther fellows s t ruck up fr iendships w i th o ther passengers, whi le the chief occupation of the younger groups was m ak ing the g in - ru m m y loving seniors’ lives miserable w i th their num erous w ate r pistols.
W h e n we reached our dest inat ion, a track meet was im mediate ly held under the able supervision of M r . Sidney King. T h e members of each g roup w h ich scored the greatest n u m b er of po in ts were rewarded medals. T h e aw ard s were as fo l lows:
Senior A, B, C
J u n io r 1 and 2
In termediate 3 and 4
In termediate 1 and 2
P r im ary 1 and 2

Zucker, 1st place Spitzer, 2 n d place
M aurer , 1st place Goldstein, 2n d place
P om eroy , 1st place Lipert, 2 nd place
H. G o ld m an
F o l lo w in g the track meet, those seniors n o t engaged in aquatic m err im ent engaged the members of the faculty in a soft ball game m arked b y br i l l ian t fielding, terrific h i t t ing , superb pitching, and flawless officiating. T h e fifth inn ing of this great struggle saw the faculty, som ew h a t assisted by three b o r r o w ed products , come from beh ind to eke ou t a sha l low victory over the tired seniors. T h e score, sh o w in g the closeness of the struggle, was 1 8 to 15.
A t the conclusion of the game once again the long trek d o w n the hil l was begun. T h e boa t t r ip hom e was similar to the tr ip up. T h e r e was, however , a s l ight difi^erence. N o longer did the boys make merry, no longer were the seniors plagued by the small fry, an d no longer did those seemingly endless games of h ide-and-go-seek flourish. A l l the energies of the F ra n k l in boys h ad been left for the day at Ind ian P o in t , and everyone was con ten t to sit back and listen to the guide describe the scenery. A n o th e r Field D a y h ad become b u t a h ap p y m em ory .

IN September , 19^9, a new baby was born to F ran k l in School. T h i s
baby took the fo rm of a newspaper by, for, and abou t s tudents and
graduates of the ins t i tu t ion . T h e paper was founded by H ey w o o d Kling
and Fred Buschhoff, and the faculty adviser was Mr. Frederick Bam. After
the first issue no one th o u g h t the leaflet, for tha t is all it was, w o u ld survive.
O f course everybody rushed to be on the staff: so the second n um ber was very
large. A fte rw ards , however, the paper grew smaller as the members began to
lose interest.
T h e Counci lo r was first w r i t ten and composed at school, and then came the
jo b of m im eograph ing . T h i s was done at the hom e of one of the staff. T w ice
a m o n th the C ounci lo r came and went. In J u n e of 1940 it was whispered th a t
the little paper was breath ing its last, and no one w o u ld ever see it again. B u t
a great surprise came to everyone the next fall. U p o n re tu rn ing to F rank l in ,
one fo u n d on every desk a neatly m imeographed copy of the Councilor, the fall
issue.
T h e Counci lo r had come to stay. T h e re was no d o u b t abou t it ; even the
m os t skeptical were sure of th a t fact. T h e paper was growing , and it continued to grow . T h e paper got its o w n m im eograph ing appara tus in the school, and
all the w o rk was done in one place.
T h e articles in the Councilor grew better and longer: the paper took over
the A lu m n i news from the Red and Blue, the school magazine. N ew d ep a r t
m en ts were added, and we began to learn some very interesting facts ab o u t the
school and teachers th a t we were associated w ith . T h e C ounci lo r held cam
paigns and polls. T h e b aby had g ro w n up.
T h e editors th o u g h t up new devices to make the paper more interesting:
and w h en H e y w o o d Kling w en t to Florida, there was a weekly letter published.
A complete list of the staff is published below.

I l i e Red and Blue
FO R T Y - T W O years ago, F ran k l in School published its first issue of the
Red and Blue. T h i s magazine has been published yearly ever since eighteen
n inety-nine. T h e Red an d Blue is the official o rgan of all undergradua te
activities.
In its f o r ty - tw o years T h e Red and Blue has s tarted m a n y fam ous wri ters
and columnists on their w ay to success. Some of these men are n o w wri ters
and correspondents on the staffs of the large N e w Y o r k newspapers . A m o n g
these are W a l te r L ip p m a n n of T h e N e w Y o r k Herald T r i b u n e an d L eonard Engel better k n o w n , as the General in P M .
W h a t this year’s Red and Blue will produce, we can o n ly guess, b u t we can
t ru th fu l ly say th a t the tw o issues of the magazine publ ished this year were
am ong the best ever composed. T h e on ly definite change in the s tructure of
the magazine was the omission of the A lu m n i and S por t ing sections, b o th of
w h ich have been taken over by the undergradua te paper, T h e Councilor. T h i s
did not, however, detract f rom the meri t of the periodical.
T h e Edi tor- in-ch ief- of the tw o issues was Laurence J . Rosan, and the staff consisted of several members of the class of 1941 , ably assisted by some of the
members of the class of 1942 . A list of the entire staff is p r in ted below.
T h e first issue this year was publ ished sh o r t ly before the C hr is tm as vacat ion and is par t icu lar ly n o te w o r th y for its abundance of poetry . T h e next
nu m b er came ou t the day before spring recess and was so m ew h a t larger th a n the first. T h e second issue also conta ined several i l lustra tions, ab ly executed b y
R ober t B ro ther ton . T h e t w o issues were b o th great ly aided b y the assistance of M r. H a l l and M r . Berenberg.
