D O N A L D F. S H A U G H N E S S Y

T’o Mr. D o n a ld F. Shaughnessy, departing chairman of the H istory D e ­

partment, we dedicate the yearbook of 1955.

D iir ing his four years at Franklin , Mr. Shaughnessy has brought to his

classes a bril l iant m ind , well qualif ied to clarify the com plex it ies of our past.

H e has endeavored to train his students not only as alert and well in form ed

citizens, but also to think, analyze and act for themselves. T h e perennia l high

scores w hich our Seniors have received on the Social Studies College Boards

are a tribute to his ou ts tand ing instruction.

T h o u g h sorry to see his career at Franklin com e to an end, we wish h im

con t in u ed success, k n o w in g that he wil l br ing to w h ere \er he goes, the same

qualit ies w hich have ga ined h im the respect and adm iration of everyone here

at Franklin.

In m em ory of one of our finest a lum ni, we dedicate the 1955

Yearbook to A lan Lewis, Class of ’53.

D u r in g his years al P'ranklin, Alan, first recij)ient of the pr in ­

c ipa l’s medal for character, loyalty and service, served as manager

of all four teams, and through his consideration and helpfulness

won the friendshii) and affection of all w ho knew him.

W ith deep sorrow we record his im tim ely passing, know ing

that his warm th and integrity will forever endear h im to the hearts

of his m any friends here at Franklin.

M.cssagc to

the Seniors

from M.r. SpaKn

W'e are proud of the record that has been achieved by the graduating class

of 1955. D u e to the l im ited num ber o f students in your class, your responsib il i ­

ties were m u lt ip l ied and each student was called up on to accept m ore than

his norm al share of leadership and effort. T h e senior class has always served

as beacons in g u id in g the spirit and student morale of the lower classes.

G ood luck to you in your college life— and remember that we are anxious

to have you visit Franklin School so that we can cont inue the warm bonds of

fr iendship that have been established.

T h e faculty and Staff of 1955 was one of Franklin ’s finest in m any years.

T o o ld timers D o c Stevens and D o n Shaughnessy were added Mrs. Youm an,

w h o m ade her d eb u t as U p p e r School English teacher; Mr. Kapaloric , formerly

a tutor at Yale; and Mr. Margulies, instructor in Spanish. Mr. R obertson con ­

t inued to fascinate M id d le School Students w ith his original m ethods of teach­

ing English, reviving interest in this lo n g forgotten subject. Mr. Carson has

gon e a long way towards revitalizing scientific interest through assignment of

original projects and increasing student partic ipation in class and c lub discus­

sions.Mr. Shaughnessy m ade another in novat ion by converting his Senior Social

Studies Class into a discussion of const itut ional law and revising the format o f the

new G overnm ent course to include an in troduction to polit ical ph ilosophy,

similar to the contemporary civilization cotuse given d ur ing the freshman year

at C o lum bia College.In taking over U p p er School math, Mr. Stevens brought to his n ew posi ­

tion a decade of exper ience in teaching science, a long w ith the same efficiency,

sense of hum or, and clarity of expression, which have so popularized his classes

in the past.Mrs. Yoinnan has brought the A and B English departm ent a long way.

taking a g en u in e interest in each student and lay ing greater emphasis than

ever before ujjon the study of English and American literature.

It is our h ope that future faculties wil l cont inue to meet the h igh standards

set .by that of 1955.

O n behalf of m y classmates, it is indeed an h on or and a priv ilege for m e

to w e lcom e you to the co m m en cem en t exercises of Franklin School for the

year 1955.

As we stand on the threshold ready to enter a n ew phase in our lives,

each and every on e of us w ill never forget and wil l always be grateful for the

u nst in t ing assistance, encouragem ent, and gu idance that was g iven to us by our

faculty.

W ords are inadequate to express w hat our teachers have d o n e for us,

for they not on ly strove to deve lop us as scholars b u t as a ll-around individuals ,

supply ing the necessary confidence and reassurance to enab le us to cope w ith

the om nipresent problems that lie ahead. T h e se past four years have been

m em orable ones; we take with us fond m em ories lo n g to be treasured in our

hearts.

In conclusion, may I again thank everyone of you for a tten d in g tonight's

exercises. W e, the graduating class of 1955, are truly honored, and we h o p e

that you will enjoy the program that is to fo llow.

Cl . AS S H I S T O R Y1 certainly coiisiiU'r it a |)i'i\ilc‘f>c to l)c (a i led upon to deiivei' the (lass

historian's speech. In another 20 or SO years, may yon, ihe invited guests,

h a \e reason to meet again, to lislen to tlie histoiy ol some ol us w ho by provi­

dence h a \ e a c h ie \e d lame and renown on a ( (o u n l ol out (on lr ihnlio irs to lile,

liberty, and the p iusn it ol happiness.

In the past it \vas said that the true historian is a man w ho m aiches lor-

\vard \vhile looking backward. In a l igurati \e sense 1 have ix'cn assigned the

task o l acting as such an historian h>r the class ol 1055.

\ \ 'h i l e m arching forward into the uncerlainties ol a luture w h id i ea d i one

ol us hopes to t in n into a land ol promise, according to his special talents

and am bit ions, 1 take a m om ent to look back. 1 look back into that first |)hase

of otu' personal history, the most im portant one since it was the phase when

the foundation was laid for otU' future life, w hen we were olfered the o p p o r ­

tunity of acquir ing that know ledge and of develojjing those abil it ies upon

w hich \ve shou ld be able to erect in the years ahead this sure structure (jf use­

fulness. AVithout b e in g arrogant, I dare say that each one of us has put to

good use the opportin iit ies offered to us by Franklin, its Headmaster and

teachers.

W e are a class of on ly 13 students, for us a lucky number. 1 firmly hope

that the bonds of friendship, w hich years of com m on experience have forged,

Avill h o ld also in the fu t in e and keep us together in good felkjwship whatever

paths we take.

B ut how do these 13 friends and students look? At this m om ent , I am filled

w ith a sense of e la t ion w'hen gazing back to our small com m u n ity of the past;

yet also I have a fee l ing of sadness that marching forward will destroy our c o n ­

t inuous presence and he lp fu l guidance.

I feel that both students and teachers have acted as wireless sets: the stu­

dents as the receivers, and the teachers as the transmitters. N o t at all times

were the receiv ing sets in good order. Som etim es reception was blurred by noise

and other disturbances. B ut it was not always the fault of the receivers, be ­

cause the cond it ion of the transmitters too dep en d ed sometimes on weather,

m ood, or the like. Nevertheless, I th ink that the receivers responded co n ­

genia lly to the voices of the transmitters, refiecting in their absorptive capacity,

their understand ing for spiritual gu idance and appreciation for moral leader­

ship.

I som ewhat, but not fully agree w ith D an te w ho said, “ I do not adm it

another pleasure but s tudying .” But it was a great and w holesom e exper ience to

study under F ranklin ’s most capable guidance. For this 1 thank the school,

and I am sure, so do all my fe l low students.

In former years each one o f us was rejoicing at the thought of returning

to Franklin and jo in ing his fe l low students for a new term. N o n e of us w o u ld

have missed, for anything, the friendly atmosphere and the spirit of co-opera­

t ion that had been established in our midst. M edita t ing up on the significance

of this m o m en t , I realize that the future w ill be different. W e shall march

forward, b u t each on e of us separately, to different colleges, to different des­

tinies. B u t the rem em brance of Franklin w il l shine through the com in g years,

and i l lu m in a te them w ith the w arm in g l ight of kn ow led ge acquired and

b u t hesitant farewell. For m any a year we too have sat a m o n g you in the a u d i ­

ence, ce lebrating the graduat ion of another senior class, th o u g h never quite

realizing that we shou ld so soon fo l low in their footsteps. N o w our day has

come, and we wish to express our appreciation for your presence here tonight,

m ak in g this occasion such a m em orab le one for all of us.

O n this eve of graduation , as we look o u t in to the w'orld, we see a g lobe

torn by the bel l igerent words of two c o m p et in g ideologies . T o d a y ’s war is b e ­

ing fought w'ith books and bulle t ins not bom bs and battalions. T h e prize is

no longer the destruction of nations but the m inds of m en. W e see both sides

b u i ld in g u p vast a tom ic stockpiles, arm ing to the hilt , ta lk ing war and pray­

ing for peace k n ow in g that an armed conflict wil l bring a sad en d to c iviliza­

t ion as w'e know it.

At hom e, slogans have replaced sober reflection; d efam ation , discussion;

and partisan politics, party responsibility . W e see a c l im ate where it is better

to conform than to originate, where difference has been confused w ith dis ­

loyalty and tolerance o f others, w ith treason and treachery. A cad em ic freedom

has fallen v ict im to the se lf-appointed protectors of our n a t io n ’s p ro u d her i ­

tage. T h e vision of Am erica as a h aven for the hom eless and oppressed has

been marred by a curtain of legal technicalit ies w hich bar even the m ost d e ­

serving of im m igrants from settl ing on our shores.

T h e so lu t ion o f these grave prob lem s may well lie in the hands of the

Class of ’55. For this m o n u m e n ta l task we shall con t in u e to b u i ld u p o n the

firm fou n d at ion of our ed u cat ion at Franklin . H ere we were inspired to face

the future w ith confidence and im b u ed w ith the desire to m o ld the world

on a just, peaceful, and lasting basis. O ur m inds were trained, our characters

m olded , and our hearts inspired by a faculty eager to prepare the vouth

of today for the responsibil it ies of tomorrow. T h o u g h otu' thoughts are n o ’w

turned toward the future, n o th in g can ever d im the precious m em ories of

our years at Franklin. As we leave here ton ight we can on ly h o p e that we

will cont inue in the tradition of decades of p u b l ic spirited Franklinites. reflect­

ing glory on our school, and repaying Franklin, each in his ow n wav, for all

she has g iven us.

T H E E R A N K L I N P R E S SFor the first time in the history of Franklin School, the Student body p u b ­

lished a regular, printed newspaper, similar in topography to our city’s large

dailies.

U n d er the Editorship of Barry Pogash, the 1955 Franklin Press was the

first in the sch oo l’s history to ga in an honor rating from the N at ion a l Scholastic

Press Association.

T h e paper received the acclamation of all for its thorough news coverage

and h igh literary caliber. For the first t ime a Sports, a H um or , and a Person­

ali ty C o lu m n were inc luded as regular features. Our probing editorials ga ined

the highest rating from a national ju d g in g body.

T h e p ap er ’s last two issues, pub lished under the leadership of Josh Pru-

zansky, were generally acknow ledged to be the finest in the schoo l’s 83 year his ­

tory. W e feel confident that under his inspiring guidance, the paper next year wil l

take its place am o n g the top h igh school monthlies .

the most p op u lar in the school, e lected M ichael Katz as its first jtuiior president.

D u r in g the year the boys have given reports, demonstrations, and exper i ­

ments on subjects ranging from the atom ic bom b to the latest deve lopm ents in

psychiatry. Construction of time-bombs, p lan t in g of trees, and the product ion

of exp los ive gases have all been part of the year’s agenda. For next year. Presi­

dent Katz plans an ex p a n d ed program o f trips and oiu ings . in c lu d in g if pos­

sible, an excursion to the Brookhaven N a t io n a l Laboratories, center of our

atom ic research activities.

W e feel confident that with practically the entire m em bersh ip returning

scientific-minded.

most imposing, is now almost non-existent ow in g to the efforts ot fjur Jimior

Student Organ i/at ion.

W’e teel confident that this “exper im ent in democracy” wil l g ive our youth

a \a lu a b le headstart in the practice of se lf -go \ernm ent so that when they reach

the I 'p p er School they wil l p r o \ id e its student governm ent w ith the vigor,

S T U D E N T C O U N C I LO nce again the Student Counci l has con t in u ed to play an active role in

school affairs, sett ing a fine exam p le for future s tudent governm ents.

T h e year was one of consol idation of o ld gains and renew ed exp an s ion

and im provem ent. Senior Privileges were ex ten d ed to inc lude first period

in the m orning, Jun ior Privileges to inc lude the last three weeks in . \p r i l w h i le

the ties and jackets deadline was put u p another m onth . T h e C ounci l co n ­

the purchase of a pencil m achine, negotiat ions for a coke m achine, the dis ­

tr ibution of Franklin pins, and the des ign ing and sale of official school jackets.

O nce again the Council sponsored the Curtis M agazine Drive w hich more

than covered our year’s expenses. Subjects imder in \e s t ig a t io n ranged from

calendar reform and a lengthened huich [period to detailed discussions of stu ­

dent disc ip line and modification of the d e tent ion system.

T h e constitution was revised to permit alternate delegates to attend m e e t ­

ings w hile for the first time m inutes of the ^’eekIy m eetings were read over the

PA System by secretary M ike Katz.

K n ow in g the h igh caliber of this year’s junior class we feel confident that

the council will con t in u e to function as the active govern in g body of the school.

S E N MO R BN ever before has a junior class so com plete ly d om in ated the field of extra ­

curricular activit ies. T h o u g h small in num ber the group has more than c o m ­

pensated for its lack o f quantity by its ability, leadership, and enthusiasm in

all phases o f school life.

In the field of pub licat ions the class edited two of the outstanding R ed

and Blues of recent years, w h i le the final two issues of the newspaper, imder

the leadership o f Josh Pruzansky, were generally acknow ledged to be the finest

in the sch oo l’s history.

In S tudent C ounci l Affairs, Mickey Katz, school secretary, was generally

considered to be the b o d y ’s most active m ember. In addit ion, M ike was the

first ju n ior ever to be elected President of the Science Club.

In athletics, the grou p also took an active part. Over half the boys made

the baseball and soccer squads w h i le Jimmy Penson, Jeff Carr, R ich ie Horn, and

Gil Snyder were a m o n g those sparking the baseball team to its most success­

ful season in recent years.

It is our h o p e that future junior classes w'ill com e to play the same active

role in School affairs as has the class of ’56.

C o h e n ’s top-flight bal l-handling and M ike o i l m a n ’s superior r e b o u n d in g were

ev ident to all, w h i le both were am o n g the team's h igh scorers. In baseball,

our sophom ore dom in ated n ine w on more victories than any in the last five

years. T h e s lugging ot Eddie Galison and . \ r m a d o Canti l lo . and the p itching

and first-rate f ie lding of Murray C ohen and M ichael T ay lor all contributed

to the team ’s fine showing.
