VER THE PAST there hangs a cloud; a haze obscuring from our view the days which have passed us by. The greatest of our Kings ages and dies hke the most mis­erable beggar, and once gone they are indistinguishable. In the hope of cheating fate, each King sets down a history of himself, and his times.

Thousands of scribes and artists are consumed to produce this book; locked away in cloisters they record and copy and decorate. Their names are never signed to their work, they pass unremem­bered. It is the King’s book . . . . to record his life.

But, there, in the illustration; is that not a poor artist in the crowd? In the tales of the King’s feasts, we learn of his cooks, his servants, his subjects. Inescapably, more and more people crowd the King from his story.

And thus we have a book to recall some­thing passed. A time. Each of the char­acters: the mightiest nobleman passes a minstrel on a road, and we remember them both. The small forgotten face in the crowd reminds us of another, and an­other, and the day is recaptured. The spectacular moments, so vast and envelop­ing we thought at the time it was all there was. And the forgotten moment, the hushed quiet in which we suddenly, inex­plicably, relaxed.

The book was written for the King, we turn to it when all else is forgotten to see the King, but it will recall to us what may have mattered more: the time. There is a time here, put onto paper because we are afraid to perish.

SO M EW H ERE AM ONGST TH E PEOPLES There are those who soak up the sorrow And mock you when you truly cry.Some tell you about life Some let you live.There are those who offer their hand And put gloves on to touch.Some come running from distant roadsAnd find misdirection when receiving your call.Some pat your head.But tremble when it lies in their lap.And somewhere amongst the peoples Some feel the pain, have lived and touched other hands and are running their race.They give strength when you lean.And in the quietness of todays still fading twilight.They silently understand and wait.

..^auison Avenue past .«y m i l Hotel, and over 3 3 d Street to the Pennsy

vania Station.I began to like New York, the racy, adventurous feei

of it at night, and the satisfaction that the constant flicker, of men and women and machines gives to the restless eye. I liked to walk up Fifth Avenue and pick out romantic women from the crowd and imagine that in a few minutes I was going to enter into their lives, and no one would ever know or disapprove. Sometimes, in my mind, I fol- low'ed them to their apartments on the corners of hidden streets, and they turned and smiled back at me before they faded through a door into warm darkness. At the enchanted m etropolitan twilight I felt a haunting loneli­ness sometimes, and felt it in others—poor young clerks who loitered in front of window's waiting until it was time for a solitary restaurant dinner—young clerks in the dusk, wasting the most poignant moments of night and life.

The better 'part of one’s life consists of his friendships.A friend is one to w hom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart,chaff and grain together knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and w ith a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

Proverb

The world is so em pty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone who thinks and feels w ith us, and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter

of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way — in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Last year a comedy called “SW EET CH A RITT’ which in­cluded singing, dancing, and a maiden in distress, was per­formed by the King’s subjects for the entertainment of all the people in the land. The subjects who performed were Kathy Kaye, Jonny Solomon, Wendv Gaines, Lori Newman, Karen Soloway and Kenny Roberts. The performance was directed and all elements of it put to­gether by the appointed head of such plays, Carlos Castanon, who has again been suminoned foi this year s comedy, which is called “GIRL CRAZY”.

Throughout the year, Frank­lin has been preparing for its an­nual musical production. Cos­tumes, sets, songs, scenes and dance numbers must all be pre­pared before George Gershwin’s Girl Crazy opens in the spring. Under Mr. Castanon’s direction the cast, including Lori New­man, Robert Smigel, Susan Stem, Adam Beckman, and Wendy Gaines (and a cast of thousands . . .) and crew have worked hard to bring this mod- em /W estem musical to Frank­lin . . . and the world.

In the year A.D. 1976, a new and unexpected event graced Franklin School — the production of two original one-act plays written by a Franklin student, Glenn J. Gers. The play Dinnei Guests had a cast made up mostly of juniors

(Susan Stern, Glenn J. Gers, Emily Goldman, Julia Tockar, Wendy Gaines, Miriam Grinberg, Jessica Berk, and Adam Beckman), while the second play, “Three O’Glock A.M.” was a two-person drama with Lori Newman and Glenn J. Gers. Both plays were directed and generally brought into being by Mr. Gastanon.

Clockwise; Coach John Reynolds, Co-Captain John O’Brien, Caleb Crawford, Sedgewick Mortimer, Mark Tron, Harvey Sawildn,Mr. Spence, Alan Singer, JBruce Spenadel, David Marks, Michael Garfinkle, Chris Valin, Erik Jacobs. Missing; Co-Captain Gerald Robbins.

For the first time in years, Franklin’s Soccer Team had a perfect record: 9 for 9 — losses! However, the team was good for something: Mr. Aslam was able to use it to give a good demon­stration of random motion to his chemistry and physics students.

In the year of our Lord, Nineteen H undred and Seventy-Six, a danger­ous sport was once again introduced into the Kingdom. The players, brav­ing such hazards as high flying vol- leyballs and the treacherous “spike”, proceeded nonetheless with enthusi­asm and vigor. Let it not be said that the Fates were against us. In­stead, as the team members ration­alize: “It’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.”

Following the trend of Women’s Liberation, Franklin’s girls invaded a pre­viously male dominated sport this year. The result of this intrusion was the Girls Basketball team. Miss Silver took a group of sweet, innocent girls and unified them into a powerful force of “femme fatales’. The team was led by Faye Solomons who had an outstanding 44 points as the highest score in one game and an amazing 447 points total for the entire season. Through their in­itiative and drive the girls have successfully taken their place in Franklin sports and have set a new pattern for future advancement.

Franklin’s Varsity Basketball Team had another successful season this year. The starting five, Robert McLelland, Aron Kaufman and A.C.I.S. All Stars Sam Lee, Hector Navarro, and Jesus Ruiz created a powerful offense and a tenacious defense. The bench, led by John O’Brien and Jeff Steuer added diversity and depth to the team. The outstanding individual efforts made this season were typified by Sam who broke the 1,500 mark for scoring in his high school career. Hector who scored over 1,000 points, and Jesus who just nvissed the 1,000 mark with 996 points. In just a few years this cohesive team has established a pattern of Franklin domina­tion. They all fought hard in victory and defeat leaving their mark in Franklin Basketball History.

LA DIVINA COMMEDIAor

A. P. ENGLISH REVISITED by

Dante Alighieri the Elder Mij heart was struck with terror aiid with fear As, watering thick, nuf etjes beheld it written on the door,

“Abandon Hope All Ye W ho Enter Here".Virgil, my guide, experienced in that lore Said: “Here misgivings must tht/ mind reject.Here cowardice mtist die and he no more.W e are come to the place I told you to expect.W here thou should’st see the people whom pain stings And tvho have lost the good of intellect.”I looked at their distorted soulless faces, falterings. Uncouth tongues, chatterings of horrible despair.I hud not thought death so many had undone.But let me tell you their condition to he fair.One named Michael, through him a sword ran through. W hile numberless roles of film exposed Bound him to Bichard helplessly.Their anguish could not be supposed So great was their attempt to flee.Odious shrieks of torment from Jeff and Ellyn came Victims of the devil duo John and Glenn,W ho intent on playing their satanic gameW ould smother them with yearbook pages once and then again.Up to his knees in sulphur Henry stoodCondemned to speak for an eternity.As I turned, thinking what he said was rather good.Not one member of an audience could I see.The air trembled with sorrow, killing any p y Bevealed me Val, chained to a table, grunting in despair, Yet doomed to spend her time chewing corduroy,A banquet shared by Caryn sitting there.Out of the tear-drenched earth came a sigh As Jon and Alan searched for learnings precious store A nd finding some great book they then would cry Because it was the one they’d read before.Oh! worse torments was I to behold on going down To see the punishment that carnal sinners share A nd smell the brine filled pit in which they drown A nd see the weight of sins Janet, Jerry and Lanny bear W hile Phillip, Aron and Lois are spirits tossed in the air To and fro, down, up, driven in helpless plight.Comforted by no hope ever to lieA t rest, not even to bear a pain more light:A nd whose intelligence rules their dreadful place?Does the brimstone clear arid show the doleful face O f Beelzebub, Prince of Darkness, sometimes called O’Han. . .

N.B. Translator’s Note: At this point in the draft Dante, so involved with visualising his description, fell into a fright and, shortly after, was committed to the Florence Asylum, never to complete his work. His younger brother ( also called D an te) w ent on to plagiarise this embryonic poem and created the much acclaimed classic, having also stolen his brother s title.

Made new friehds, hut keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold. New-made friendships, like new wine. Age will mellow and refine. Friendships that have stood the test Time and change — are surely best; Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray; Friendship never knows decay.For ’mid old friends, tried and true. Once more we reach and youth renew But old friends, alas! may die;New friends must their place supply Cherish friendships in your breast New good, but old is best;Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold.
