Gymnasium and high school students were typically between 14 and 20 years old. A gymnasium student in September 1941 was likely born between 1921 and 1927.
The gymnasium and high school for boys was located on Otylii. The street name was changed to Ottilienstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See www.lodz-ghetto.com for a map of Otylii and the rest of the Lodz ghetto.

He is a boy and went to a Gymnasium. He is close to the age we are looking for, from the date of birth. He also has the last name of GoGoldman and his first name begins with an H. He was deported on TR 38.

Excellent work. I agree this is the most likely candidate to have signed this name in the album, for all the reasons you suggest. Keep that transport number in mind--you'll want to enter it into the next stage.
