Another school year has drawn to a close leaving many

things to be remembered—

The year 1963-64— we w ill never fo rge t fo r it is our

year. Although it symbolizes the end o f four rich wonderful

years a t Franklin, it marks a beginning o f challenging years

o f adulthood.

The Class o f 1964— we w ill always remember fo r it is

our class. M any fond memories o f our classmates, teachers

and parents who have helped us to reach this point in our

lives, w ill accompany us on our new journey.

The Franklinite 1964— this is our yearbook. W e have tried

to provide a record of happenings large and small, important

and insignificant. We have attempted to preserve the suc

cesses, failures, joys and sorrows which have become part of

us and included the people which have contributed in making

our high school careers significant.

We, the members of the Class of 1964, respectfully dedicate

this edition of our yearbook to our A lma Mater. It is here

that we have been guided toward goals o f self reliance and

maturity. M ay this Franklinife be a symbol of our g ra ti

tude and affection, may its pages recall fond memories of

an "O LD " Franklin and our best wishes to a "N E W " Franklin

fo r happy days ahead.

W e hove tried our best to make our yearbook one that you

w ill value and cherish.

W ith great pride we now present the 1964 Franklinite.

Heart to conceive,

the understanding to direct,

and the hand to execute.

Secretarial Staff

W ithout our fr iend ly and warm-hearted

secretarial staff, our school would be in

absolute chaos! For it is these competent

ladies who not only do their jobs thorough

ly but whenever trouble is near or help is

needed, are always ready and w illing to

help solve our da ily problems.

Nick and Lilly

Nick and Lilly are responsible fo r pre

paring our well-balanced school lunches and

snacks. Franklin students certainly appreci

ate the extra thought and care put into our

meals.

Custodial Staff

Always busy, cleaning, repairing, rear

ranging and maintaining our school, the

Franklin custodial staff does a commenda

ble job. The result has been pleasant fo r

students and visitors alike.

MRS. ELIZABETH Y O U M AN

ENGLISH -English helps set up standards o f judg

ment, honesty, taste and discrimination. The

students discover the special personal and

social values o f literature. Creative writing

and speaking activities challenge their

imaginations and motivate them towards

orig inality . English has become more than

a subject, it is a treasure chest fo r the rest

of their lives.

MATHEMATICS - From Linear Equafions to Lopsided Ellipses.

MR. NATHANIEL H. STEVENS

Chairman

Elementary A lgebra, Plane Geometry, Trigonom

etry, Advanced Math, these subjects represent the

foundation on which man hopes to build an under

standing of the world. The most important use of

these studies is to give the student an opportunity to

develop a sense o f logic and order, something

which must result from contact with the orderly

processes o f Mathematics.

MR. ROBIN ELLIOTT

LANGUAGE -

A Father + Filius + une Femme + ein Fraulein — una Familia

MR. ROY MILTON

Chairman

MR. D AVID BERMAN

The Language Department teaches the student to speak a

foreign language and to express himself creatively when

writing the language. W hile he learns the mechanics o f the

language the student is also being introduced to the customs

and lives of the people who speak it. This aids the student in

viewing the world and its people with a greater depth o f

knowledge and understanding.

MR. EMMANUEL COFFINET

SCIENCE -From Adam to Atom

MR. ERIC CARSON

Chairman

Through lecture classes and student participation in laboratories,

the Science Department introduces students to a knowledge o f the

physical world and man's relation to it. Emphasis is placed upon the

process o f obtaining knowledge as well as utilizing facts and concepts.

In chemistry, bio logy, physics, general physical science students are

taught basic concepts o f science and are given insight into the beauty

and order o f the universe.

Dates, Dictation and Details

DR. RUSSELL J. ELLIOTT

Chairman

/The history o f tomorrow will be lived and created by us.

Therefore we must have both reference and background

material by which we may be guided. Directed by what we

have learned, we are better prepared to face a challenging

future. Thus history has become a stirring and exciting sub

ject causing us to seek truth and solution.

NON-DEPARTMENTALIZED

Library

The Franklin lib rary ploys on essential role in the

educational objective of our school. Each student

may take advantage of the library's many books

and magazines to broaden his knov/ledge and under

standing. We spend many hours studying and

learning from these works. Our helpful lib rarian Mr.

Jung is always ready to aid us in finding the books

and research materials which we desire.

Music and Art

Music and A rt ore the most universal and power

ful expressions o f emotion. The primary function of

this course is to help students give themselves a

musical and artistic background that w ill provide

them with the joy of creating and appreciating for

themselves in the future.

Typing

As one approaches a small room o ff the lunch

room, a view o f the future world's champion typists

and secretaries in the making can be seen. Here,

no one dares peek at the keys, fo r fea r o f a voice

in the background saying . . . this is touch typing.

An Evening To Remember

THE SENIOR P R O M -June 5 was encircled on every senior's calendar as Prom

Night. Summer formal attire was in order fo r the boys. It

signified, fo r the girls, the beauty parlor, formal gowns and

accessories to match, (quite a change from Franklin uniforms.)

As the clock struck 7:00, many couples emerged from taxis

and cars to the first destination. The Adams Hotel. The cock

tail party, given by Jay Rosen was flowing with people, food

and drink starting the festivities of the year's most important

event. By the time all the introductions were made, and the

compliments issued, it was "o f f to the W a ldo rf Astoria". The

anticipation, fo r many months, of a memorable night soon

became a reality as the evening progressed. Music fo r danc

ing was furnished by Noble Sissle and his band. The Louis

XVI suite, a glamorous night spot, the excitement and glow

evinced on all faces, the shimmering gowns and the hand

some tuxedos, plus the excellent background music, a ll con

tributed in making the Prom a great success. By 12:00, all

headed fo r night clubs, private parties, and the beach. Many

did not arrive home until noon the fo llow ing day. A ll sorts

of parties— after prom, pre-graduation, post fie ld day, (how

ever fie ld day was canceled) post graduation, etc., continued

even after commencement. Although there were so many

parties, none surpassed the most memorable evening— THE

SENIOR PROM!

GRADUATION -

"W e turn for one last look, and then with apprehension we go on."

Wednesday, June 10, was a night of rejoicing and sadness fo r the Class of

1964. On that night the seniors ended their lives ot Franklin and started new

ones— full of hopes, surprises, accomplishments and happiness.

The graduation exercises were held a t the Hunter College Playhous a t 8:30

P.M. A fter the exercises, the graduates and their guests left fo r restaurants, hotels,

and their homes. Although many drifted away with fam ily and friends, a ll later

joined together to celebrate at a class party that was given.

One of the highlights of the exercises was a farewell address given by Mrs.

Majorie Downing, Dean of Sara Lawrence College. In addition to being a

scholar, a teacher, an administrator and a mother. Dean Downing has broken the

Franklin tradition of having only male speakers in the past.

Before awards were granted, David C lifford delivered a warm and meaningful

welcoming address, Joanne Rosenfield and Ellen Freeman presented an amusing,

appropriate class prophecy and Steven Dickstein gave a stimulating, forceful

parting speech.

Upon receiving the cherished sheet of parchment— the dip loma— many ex

pressed their mixed emotions with tears, kisses, fa lling caps and nervous smiles

and thank-you's.

After, the (temporary) good-bys the returning o f cops and gowns, the hugging

and kissing, the congratulations, the picture taking, the gifts and cards, the

parties, each o f us hesitates to recall fond ly the memories o f the four years we

shared at Franklin. W e never seemed to think the day would come, but it has

come, in fact, it has passed into "yesterday," and now we must plan for "tom or

row " as we enjoy "to d a y ."

A BASKETBALL PLAYER

The time fo r basketba ll is here.

And r i l go out as I do each year.

It^s my fourteenth try to make the team.

I know I w on 't, bu t I can dream.

M y jump shot is a shot I never make.

But compared to my set it's really great.

On the fou l line I try my best.

Yet, as usual, I fa i l the test.

I'm consistent. I've never scored.

But once in a w hile I h it the backboard.

They say a basketba ll p laye r should have height.

But my f ive fee t two is pretty slight.

W hen I make my appearance on the f loo r.

The laughter o f my teammates exceeds a roar.

I'm not renowned fo r my scrapping.

But in the stands I do a lo t of c lapp ing .

Yes, a t basketba ll I'm not too good

But a t least I can 't wrestle.

The Junior Varsity Basketball Team,

though inexperienced, completed a fu ll sea

The Franklin soccer team began its season by defeating New Lincoln 1-0 in an exciting game played in Central Park. The w inning goal was scored by Dryker- man assisted by Turner. Other standouts on offense were Kaye, Apfelbaum, Rosen, Seltzer, Barere and Frizzell. Outstanding defensive jobs were turned in by fu llbacks Brodlieb and Shorenstein, along with safetymen Dickstein, Spaull and Sheldon. The goalie position was shared by Turner and Frizzell, while H. Klein saw action a t halfback. Others on the squad, most o f whom played, included Lehman, Celiz, A llen, Frenkel, Eden, Besner, managers C lifford and Nager and sideline assistants Hirshfield and Margulies.

By defeating Birch Wathen 1-0 on Oct. 17, Franklin moved into first place. This was a game in

C O A C i

M r- B erm an

which a large amount of credit was given to Frizzell who registered the shutout by playing the goal, and Turner, who kicked the victorious goal. Capt. Apfelbaum has also performed an outstanding job.

Our first goal was registered by Drykerman against New Lincoln. Spaull, who was a substitute last year, made a comeback this year both offensively and defensively. He has also scored one of our goals. Among our scoring experts, Kaye must be ranked among the best. He has thus fa r scored two tremendous goals. W ith Brodljeb's fine defensive kicking from back- fie ld , we have managed to lim it the opponents' scoring opportun ities.

Mr. Berman, our coach must not be omitted. As a teacher o f Law, Math, and Latin and as a coach in soccer he is excellent.

SOFTBALL

The 1964 softball season at Franklin was one marked by outstanding team spirit and partic ipation. A fter eight games the team had won five. In league competition our men won four, losing only to Eron in the finals. The team batting average of .361 and nine runs per game is indicative of the great effort and spirit o f a ll.

Mr. Berman fe lt that it would be better to use a constant line up and did so with: Martin Pols— pitcher, Steve Dickstein — catcher, Steve Fuchs— first base.

As fa r as individual statistics go Pols was Mr. Berman's moundsman. He pitched two thirds of the innings, while winning three games and posted on excellently earned run average. Frizzell was the best of the relief pitchers, giving up no earned runs. W ith a bat Frizzell led the team. He hit .667 and drove in thirteen runs. Dickstein was close behind in both categories posting a .592 average and twelve rbi's. Seltzer was the home run leader. Nestler was the most consistent and drove in a run in each game while being the lead-ofF h itter. The fie ld ing was excellent fo r a high school softball team. Both Dickstein and Spaull d id not make any errors. Dickstein did this while covering four positions. In the W alden game Fuchs handled twelve chances w ithout error.

In the Eron game came the most drama of the season with the score 11-8 fo r our rivals. The team jumped o ff to a 6-0 lead against a tough windmill pitcher. The lead was lost, but the team never gave up and mounted a last inning ra lly which sow the tying run come to the plate.

Each athletic event has resounded v/ith the enthusiastic cheering o f our cheer

leaders. Led by Captain Beth Friedman the cheerleaders' unbeatable spirit roused both

the team and the spectators. As hard as they work, and in spite o f the sore throats they

get from cheering, Franklin's cheerleaders are always fu ll of pep and energy. Their

cheers met with such favorable reception that they hove become an important part of

Franklin spirit.

E V i t .

The audience is hushed! Those elig ib le fo r admittance into the National Honor So

ciety look a t each other and then glance quickly away. As Dr. Spahn calls out the

names o f the new members a look o f relief, joy and disbelief spreads over their faces.

They hope that they w ill be worthy o f the ideals o f its philosophy: scholarship, leader

ship, good character and service to the school.

This is an era o f scholastic emphasis. College admissions committees are looking fo r

the academically superior student. Recognition fo r scholastic achievement, os well as

incentive, is provided through induction into the National Honor Society.

HISTORY H O N O R SOCIETY

To qua lify fo r this society, one must have an academic average in history o f 85 and

the approval o f the chairman o f the History Department— Dr. Elliott.

During the course o f the school year each member receives a membership card, a

gold pin, and five interesting magazines written by other members of this nation-wide organization.

This relatively new organization also provides an incentive to the students and stimu

lates a greater interest in History.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL

W orthwhile suggestions! Enthusiastic council members! Competent officers! Under

standing advisor! Supporting class members! A ll of these elements helped to chalk up

a year fu ll of accomplishment.

The Student Council is composed of elected representatives and is guided by the

executive committee. Its primary function is to act as a co-ordinating unit between the

school administration and the student body. The Booster Club, under the student council,

has helped provide the stimulation needed fo r guiding us into active support o f our

school. A Varsity Club and several rallies were also initiated with great success. As a

result, school participation has surpassed that of any preceding year. The establish

ment o f a "news sheet" presenting the ideas under discussion o f the Student Council

has produced a unity between the student and the council. The sale o f G.O. cards and

school decals were received with much enthusiasm. Five "S w ing ing" dances were also

made possible through the Council. The establishment o f O ur Beaver was defin ite ly

one o f the most outstanding contributions. The Student Council can certainly boast a

most successful year!

THE FORENSIC SOCIETY

Once again the Forensic Society scored win after win in the 1963-1964 season. The most notable victory was our team's success in Montreal, Canada, where we brought home the Eaton and F. Cyril James Trophies as the outstanding team in the tournament. Philippe Salomon and David Harris returned to Canada later in the year and met two boys from the Canadian Youth Forum in a televised debate.

Franklin also brought home the honors from the Garden School Debate Tournament where our Sophomores won five out of six debates. During the year, Franklin became a member of the Metropolitan Debating League, and we instituted the first day of discussion at our school.

Richard Singer, Henry G oldberg and Philippe Salomon were nominated fo r outstanding speakers at the Student Congress that we attended. Michael Schonbach placed fifth a t the Columbia Debate Tournament. Most o f the Forensic Society went to Mount Vernon fo r the annual ECMUNC Conference, and fo r the first time, five boys went to the National Invitational Model General Assembly meeting in Georgetown, Washington, D.C.

If the successes o f the past season are any indication o f the years to come, more victories are certa inly awaiting us in the future.

BOOSTER CLUB

Sparkling, exuberant and effervescent. Franklin boosters go fu ll steam ahead. Excite

ment is the keynote in the lives of these Franklinites as they give their a ll fo r the blue

and white.

A beaver is usually a small, furry, water-living animal that uses his

two buck teeth to cut wood. A fter we took the Franklin beaver out of

the water, however, the unexpected occurred: he dropped unan

nounced into our newly initiated pep rallies, joining in our songs and

cheers. Dances did not exempt the beaver. Instead o f chewing wood,

he eagerly devoured the punch and cookies. We hope that our new

school mascot w ill appear many times next year.

C lO

VARSITY CLUB

This year the Student Council initiated a successful o rgan

ization— the Varsity club. The main desire of this club is to

foster school spirit throughout the student body. Under the

capable leadership o f Jay Rosen and Billy Apfelbaum , and

Mr. Jung, faculty advisor, a new enthusiasm was exhibited at

the many school functions. In promoting school spirit, a mas

cot was introduced and we hope the Beaver w ill live on in

Franklin.

As always, the dances a t Franklin were a tremendous success this

year. W e were fortunate in having the Majesties furnish the music to

eager students and their guests. The student council decided tha t this

year the senior class should sponsor one o f the dances in order to

DANCES raise money fo r the prom. This dance was a great success even though

the much demanded Majesties were substituted fo r by tapes and

records.

The dance committee had many new ideas and was led la rge ly by

Mr. O'Hanlon who gave us many new ideas fo r decorations. The

spirit of Franklin's students was tru ly transported from the basketball

court to the dance floor.

}"H istory is the record of change— in men

like men, seem to change very little. Status

that delicate balance of opposing forces

which leads nowhere, is not only the human,

but the international condition. This year

saw no great violent eruption or major war.

Yet history would probably credit 1963-64

with enormous changes— in national lead
