Spielberger1 was born

He was an office man. From the diary of Harry Spielberger, in a
collection of Anne Spielberger Yudelson's papers, now in the posession of Peggy
Mosinger Freedman:
I was born in Atlanta, GA., on Courtland St., on Sept. 25th, 1898. Was the fourth
child in the family, having two older sisters and one brother. Earliest recollections
are centered around our home at the corner of Hill & Little Sts., when I
was about four or five years old.
We next moved to 330 E. Ga. Ave. from which point I began school, attending the
E. Fair St. School. I remember the death of my oldest sister, Stella.
When we moved to Kennedy St., I attended the State St. School for the second
and third grades. We returned to Ga. Ave. and I went to Fair St. School until
the completion of the W.F.Slaton School at which time I was transfered there,
and attended the fourth and fifth grades. Our next residence was at Lake Ave.
and I attended Inman Park School. We then moved to 276 Highland Ave. and my seventh
year at school was at the Boulevard School We again removed to Ga. Ave. and
my eighth year was spent at Fraser St. School. Teachers: Miss Mary Postel and
Miss
Lula Johnson. This was the pleasantest year of all. My relations with the teachers
and class-mates were very pleasant. I was appointed correspondent for the two
Atlanta papers having "School Pages", which appointment I held for
the entire year. I led the boys of the class in studies. I was leader of the
only debate held by the Class Club during the year.
In Sept. 1912 I entered the Boys' High School of Atlanta. Teachers were: Profs.
W.C.Lowe, J.H.Smith, L.O.Kimberly, Whetehead and Ragland. I completed the year
very satisfactorily, being among the five best students.
In Sept. 1913 I enterd the Senior Class of the Business Course of the Atlanta
Boys' High School. Teachers were the same as in the Junior Class. I completed
the year very satisfactorily, ranking among the five best, and graduated at the
Atlanta Theater on the evening of June 3rd, 1914.
The European War started in July and so upset the business world that I lost
hopes of securing a good position, so worked with my father for a few months,
after which time I became interested in Pharmacy and in Nov. 1914 I entered the
Southern College of Pharmacy at Atlanta Ga.
I completed the Junior term, but I did not like this work, and when Mr. A. Brown
offered my a job as clerk in his store, I accepted it temporarily, telling him
that I was looking for another position. Thru advertising in the papers, I got
a position with the Atlanta
Office of the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co., under Mr. E.W.Graves at 610 Rhodes
Bldg., and began working for this concern on July 18, 1915.
During the year 1912 I joined the Eagle Social Club, a club of Jewish boys of
my age. I held various position in the club, as Sec. V.Pres. and Pres. for sixteen
consecutive terms. at which time I refused to accept any further offices, giving
as my reason that the other boys deserved a chance.
In Feb. 1913 I organized the "Social Double Ten" but this did not progress
very well, and in June I was instrumental in breaking same up by inducing the
majority of the members to resign.
When I was about eleven years old I joined the Boy Scouts and remained with this
club until I entered the Senior Class of Boys High School. | +19 | v. | Anne Spielberger. | +20 | vi. | David Louis Spielberger. | +21 | vii. | Pauline
