Franklin School Graduation
Diplomas were presented laet night to twenty-three members of the graduating class of the Franklin School, 18 W. 89th St., a t the school’s eighty-fifth commencement exercises.
The exercises, attended by 300 persons at the private elementary and secondary school. Including students, their parents and friends, were held In the auditorium of Congregation B’nai Jeshurun, 270 W. 89th St.
Diplomas were presented by M. C. Spahn, head toaster of the school. Special awards were given by Nathaniel Stevens, principal of the upper school, and by Dr. Arthur Neale, principal of the lower school. The valedictorian was Michael A. Taylor, seventeen, of 801 West End Ave.
Ogden R. Reid, president and editor of the New York Herald Tribune, addressing the commencement night audience, said tha t while the world is enjoying an era of great technological progress with the advent of the atomic age, progress in the science of human government has been neglected.
He suggested th a t there are three major goals toward which the free world in general and the United States In particular should work—^peace, disarmament and the maintenance of a balance of power favorable to the free world.
Dedicated to a Wonderful Guide
DR. RUSSELL ELLIOTT
He is the very model of a teacher who is dear to us;
Thru his efforts and good humor, he has made his subjects clear to us;
He’s very well acquainted with all matters in his field;
And will argue, argue, argue, and will never yield.
His patience and kindness have helped us thru our high school years;
May the halls of Franklin ever echo with our thanks and cheers.
So to Dr. Russell Elliott, gentleman and scholar.
We dedicate our yearbook in appreciation of his valor.
MESSAGE TO THE SENIOR CLASS
The Class of 1957 ended its high school career
in a sincere and dignified manner. Your fine display of teamwork helped to make your Commencement Exercises memorable and will set
a fine pattern for future classes.Among your classmates one can find excellent
leadership material and executive potential. If this can be directed and harnessed into the proper channels, you will produce many leaders
in the field of business and the professions.I am looking forward to seeing you during
the years to come and I hope that our friend
ship will continue to grow.

Assembly Periods
The 1956-57 Science Club, with Mr. Carson as
adviser, was exceptionally good this year. The
President, Ronald Friedman, Vice President
Richard Miller, and Treasurer Michael Taylor,
put all of their best into making the club the
best in Franklin’s long history. Activities includ
ed a trip to a Ford Motor Company plant,
assembly programs, experiments performed dur
ing club periods, and the viewing of many inter
esting films.
President Murray Cohen and Vice President
Miles Levy led this club into a new venture this
year—the issuing of a club Newspaper, the
MATHEMATICS CLUB MATH EAGLE. Other activities of the club
included weekly meetings, talks on outstanding
mathematicians, studying the science of Chess,
and studying various electronic instruments. Mr.
Stevens was the adviser to the club.
CURRENT
EVENTS CLUB
Under the guidance of Mr. Rowland the Cur
rent Events Club successfully studied both do
mestic and international happenings of the year.
Integration in schools, the Antarctic Expeditions,
the Middle East, Hungary, and the presidential
election were all studied during the weekly club
periods. The main activity of the year included
a straw presidential poll, a “campaign” assembly
—where the club joined with the Debating So
ciety in arguing for the RepubHcan and Demo
cratic Parties.
28
ART CLUB
Under the leadership of Mr. Kramer the Art
Chib did fine work in tlie field of creative art.
Weekly meetings were held during which time
various media were explored. Clay work, oil
painting, water colors, woodworking all proved
exciting to the budding artists. Members in
cluded students from the freshman through the
junior class.
DRAMATICS CLUB
Newest of the many Franklin Clubs, the
Dramatics Club is operating successfully under
the leadership of Mrs. Youman. The club periods
were filled with the readings of the world’s
great plays, and the rehearsing for a successful
assembly program. Included in the events of the
year were theatre expeditions to watch the out
standing actors and actresses of our time.
DEBATING
SOCIETY
Most successful of the Franklin clubs, the Debating Society had a great year. In various tournaments the debaters won 4 silver medals, 2 bronze medals, 4 certificates and a plaque for the school. The team tied for third place in a four state tournament, and was the only New York City school to go to the Eastern State Prep School Tournament at Valley Forge, Penn. Illness prevented them from entering the New York State Tournament.

STUDENT COUNCIL
Led by the High School Principal, Mr.
Stevens, the Student Council provides for stu
dent governing of various problems. I t acts as
a liaison between the students and the adminis
tration, and acts as coordinator for various
events. Activity Cards, dances, a “coke” ma
chine, school rings, disciplinary problems were
all part of the work of this organization. Mem
bers consisted of class representatives from the
last 5 grades.
BASKETBALL
The major sport at Franklin School is Basketball, and
this year’s team proved to be the best of the past half dozen
years. Coached by “J™ ” Davis and “Ronnie” Kapon the
team went through an arduous schedule of 18 games. In
cluded on the schedule were most of the private schools
in the city.
A major event of the season was the securing of a new.
gymnasium for games, with much better facilities than we
had had previously. Because of the good showing made by
the team, several city newspapers had articles about the
school, and individual members of the team.
SOFTBALL
Marking their first appear
ance on Franklin’s sport sched
ule was the softball team,
coached by Mr. Kapon. The
team got off to a bad start, los
ing their first game. Then came
a four game winning streak,
which was broken by the school
losing their final game. Mem
bers of the freshman and sopho
more class made up the team.
HARDBALL
Four wins, one tie, and one loss was the rec
ord for the school’s hardball team. Made up
primarily of Seniors and Juniors, the team
journeyed regularly to Randall’s Island for their
games. Practice was held in Central Park, under
the supervision of their coach, Mr. Berman.
