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.

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.

Page 31: Franklin 1957

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.

Page 32: Franklin 1957

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

Page 33: Franklin 1957

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.

Page 34: Franklin 1957

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.

Page 35: Franklin 1957

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.

Page 39: Franklin 1957
Page 40: Franklin 1957

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.

Page 41: Franklin 1957

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.

Page 42: Franklin 1957

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.

Page 43: Franklin 1957

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.
