John Armstrong's Harvey and Lee

[David Josephs]

OK, David,

If you come up with anything concrete indicating John is wrong about the fall '53 semester at PS 44 and Beauregard JHS, I'll try to keep an open mind.

Jim... I believe I've already done that...
there is no other evidence related to that time period (a BIG clue as to the importance of that time) - all we have are HEAD's conflicting statements, the Cumulative and then the GRADE CARDS that only show one TERM REPORT.


I posted the HEAD statements and here are the GRADE CARDS showing only 1 TERM REPORT for the FALL.... while each of the SPRING CARDS has all three TERM REPORTS filled in.
LOGIC tells us that for a student to attend even a SINGLE CLASS for a FULL TERM they would have 3 full TERM REPORTS... There are indeed 94 days from 1/13/54 to 6/4/54.


We KNOW that LEE was at PS44 starting 9/14/53... 90 days BACK from 1/13 is Sept 1st which is also possible for a start date for the TERM for BJHS.
One wonders though why the two classes would not then have all of the TERM REPORTS filled in for the entire semester.
This only suggests the student arrived LATE IN THE TERM which HARVEY is known for doing.

I made a math error in my counting days back from 1/13/54 - FORWARD to June 4th is 94 days yet BACKWARD from 1/13 for 90 days takes us to AUGUST 18th, NOT Sept 1st.
HARVEY did not start BJHS in mid AUGUST 1953. This to me once again indicates that this student arrived LATE IN THE TERM... and the "Re Ad" numbers are simply plug figures to get us to 180+ days.

Jim - these #'s do not MEAN anything - for if they were supposed to mean the # of days a student attends we have an impossible start date for the 1953 FALL TERM. But there are grades there for some reason...
If we knew more about the actual TERM DATES we could possbily settle it. Concrete enough? Add to this the problem that NONE of the GRADE CARDS shows 12 absences for 54-55 and you have the makings of a cut/paste/copy set of "records".

The real question that remains is where did HARVEY's records go? Judge Kelly give FBI MALONE the OSWALD record from FAMILY COURT - the question is whether these are ALL OF HARVEY's RECORDS from the NYC schools or if they are copies of an original file held by the School District. It appears they are ORIGINAL COURT RECORDS - what that means exactly is unknown... by they are gone.

Finally, I think you'll find there are a number of records related to BJHS and Warren Easton



Moving forward a bit:
If we extend the same attendance dates to 1954-55 we find that from SEPT 1, 1954 to JAN 12, 1955 is only 79 days of school with 94 still in the SPRING.... unless you want to push the start back to the middle of AUGUST.

The 168 days (180 days) leaves us with the same problem... 94 + 79 = 173... (yet 168 plus the 5 absences we see on most 54-55 GRADE CARDS does add up) So either the FALL TERM started much earlier than we think, the SPRING TERM ends weeks after they said... or ???.

CE1413 has the "INCOMPLETE" notation yet has the wrong year leaving as 10-14-56 rather than 1955.
You will also please note the "Transcript sent to:" at the bottom is ARLINGTON HEIGHTS Senior High... problem being CE1413 p817 has the bottom cut off showing the date 9/18/56
for the sending of the transcripts to Arlington. HARVEY attended ARLINGTON from 9/18/56 until he joins the MARINES in OCTOBER 24 1956

Also notice that the CE1413 version does not have the initials or date of 12/5/63 in the lower right hand corner NOR does the "copy" align with the rest of the page when the upper right box of information is overlaid exactly..
It is not possible to align these "copies" with the CE exhibit .... It APPEARS as if each of htese three areas where combined fromdifferent records (or blanks) and finished afterward...

In CE1413 we have a letter from MO on Oct 7, 1955 explaining that HARVEY will be leaving school and moving to San Diego all the while LEE is working at Tujague's.... H&L is a highly supported theory year after year...
I hope those following this thread are seeing that...

DJ
