E he Svenrnr A ills nine Tradition portrays the Senior as an aged person, the nucleus of school func- 5 tions and the cynosure of the student body. But contradictory as it may seein, 2 the Senior of 1930, by no means, impresses the rational observer as such. 2 As I utter the word Senior, I visualize an indelible characterization of Joe Collegiate, strutting about in his Extra Special Kollege Kut Klothes, . displaying E a bold and manly figure. Studies to him are a matter of course and relaxation. H was the inspiration in composing the internationally known motto- Easy come, S easy go. The faculty greatly appreciates and heartily thanks him for his attend- 5 ance, infrequent as it may be. Yet to the lowly freshman he is the Ideal, the zenith 3 of his ambition, and his goal. 5 A reverent figure to behold, This marks the Senior very bold. His manner is solemn, his being serene, A And his scholastic appearance gains the f1'CSl1II131'l,S esteem. 5 I can easily picture him-his manly figure slouched in a seat too small for him-a bored far-away expression on his countenance. The voice of the teacher asking him to define something, gradually brings his alert mind back to the class- room. He makes a feeble attempt to think of the answer, but the best he can do if is to grin. He cannot overtax his mind with preliminary high school work as he E must save his energy for college athletics. After about two long drawn out periods of school work, in the main building, he goes forth to seek relaxation in an annex 2 C Paramount, Loew's Greeley, or Capitolj, and so his day ends. He prides himself on his ability to learn rapidly-school work? Oh no, not that. His pride lies in the fact that after one performance, he can imitate the leading stars in song and dance. Q That is the would-be almighty modern senior, the faetotum of the school. His school above all, ready to do anything to his alma mater lead the others in ath- 2 letics. It isn't necessary to take studies too seriously, as he thinks himself 2 smart enough to secure a good position on the strength of his football honors. And 3 thus he goes along every school day-a clean cut boy, working hard and dis- playing fine school spirit. 2 If someone were to analyze the Senior, this would probably be the result. E lfVhat is under the clothing? The Senior undoubtedly. And under the skull 2 we can presume the brains of a senior. Then we are forced to ask ourselves if they 3 function, and to what extent. That is as far as the analyst can go, for that is a E question, which up to date, has not yet been settled and only God knows the pos- . sibility of its solution. ' -SAMUEL COHEN.

Mickey is an East Side boy who comes from the Clarke House where bas- ketball players are made. VVhcn we put his knock alongside his picture we said, Like a needle in a haystack on the basketball court. The way his teammates and opponents tower over him when he plays reminds one of a needle in a hay- stack. But like the needle he is always there--and how. He looks like a Napoleon, small, but he is there with the stuff. He's a great help to the basketball team and helped put it where it is, on top of the P. S. A. L., the best in New York City. Mickey is going to the University of Michigan. This is one college that is going to be fortunate in getting a good little man. BEATRICE SIMTON She well deserves being put in the Hall of Fame. But what is it this girl possesses that makes us boast about her and expect even greater 'things from her? Since Beatrice entered Textile, she has worn a path of services well deserving of credit. She has been a diligent worker on the Service, Lunch Room, and Library Squads. Not only this aid has she given the school, but also has succeeded in being elected Treasurer of the Menorah Club. Beatrice has combined her help with that of other girls in the Lilac and Glee Clubs. Patience, friends! Do not overlook that sl1e is an active member of the Arista and also the Secretary of the Senior Class of '29. Now, don't you think she has completed an ideal course of work, which is worthy of being followed by other? JOHN VVALKEVVITCH John lVall-:ewitch is graduating with us, the Class of January 1930, and we are very proud to call him our own. VVe believe that no better or more obliging student has ever attended the Textile High School and sincerely hope that the lower grades have at least one in their classes, who will reach l1is standard. Let us pause to recall the activities with which he has been connected. Hc was a very active member of the Service Squad, Office Squad, Lunch Squad, and has numerous other service activities to his credit. The combination of a high average in his studies and the services which he has rendered the school made it possible for him to become a member of Arista. He strove hard to make both our Junior and Senior Class the best that has ever been graduated from Textile. To-day John Xlfalkewitch is a serious but happy fellow with a smile for everyone. His is the comforting knowledge that he has striven hard in his studies, for his class, and for his school. May he be as popular at his future alma mater, Columbia, as he has been with us. And may he be successful in his chosen profession, Chemical Engineering.
