writing. After six months all the boys were experts, and I can still only typewrite with two fingers, one at a time. I also taught for some time at the Hubert Street Annex which is on the west side near the Hudson River. At the corner there was a large coffee roasting establishment and we used to get the fragrant aroma of coffee all day long. In fact, the teachers would bring along cream and sugar to inhale with the coffee. For one term during my teaching career, I was in another school. I was sent to an academic high school, but after six months I received my pardon and came back. YVI-len the school moved to this building, I moved with it. I saw its name changed to the Central School of Business and Arts, and from that to its present name, the Central Commercial High School. I watchediit change from a continuation school to be a Vocational High School. After about ten years of trying to get me to do some work in a class- room, Mr. Massell felt it was a hopeless task. So he put me under his direct supervision in the ofiice where he thought he could make sure that I would do some work. He was right. He just walked into my classroom one day, woke me up, and said, Take over all the afternoon sessions and the adult evening classes. Ever since he woke me up that day, I never have been able to sleep well again. During the war years, it was our privilege to help organize the registra- tion of draftees, rationing, fund raising activities and air-raid protection. Of late, I have been made chairman of the Program Committee, a job which usually results in getting everyone confused and getting the chairman himself very much disliked. In this I have been unusually successful. I have also during the past few years introduced a new course for boys: Multigraph Operation. This is a combination of a trade and a commercial occupation. YVe have been able to train many boys as skilled operators, and to supply not only the school, but also many outside agencies with multi- graphed forms and letters. To be eligible for the multigraphing course, a boy must be: 1. Unfit for anything else. 2. Barely able to read and write. 3. Know his right hand from his left. 4. Eat six sandwiches for lunch. The same qualifications are required of the teacher. Oh, yes, I have written the last five or six Senior Red-Letter Day musicals. These, I modestly admit, have been very clever and riotous. They were immensely enjoyed by everyone, despite the fact that they were pro- duced and directed by my friend, Mr. Rosenzweig, who did his best to ruin my efforts. I was sure that Hollywood would have called me by now, but they undoubtedly realize that, after 25 years, Central is my spot. Norman Wolfe 7

HAPPY TALK Twenty-five years ago a school was planned, It was to be built around Central so Grand - Equipped with spacious halls and escalators And meals suavely served by elegant waiters, Exquisite lounges and a swimming pool W'ould enlzance this modernistic school. An auditorium with stage tremendous! To show the latest films Metro could send us. On the second floor-a most superior Teacher-student fall freej Cafeteria!.' But as you guessed they threw those plans azuay . . . And built the school standing here today- But I'm glad they built this Termite-Home, fOr else I'd have no background for my poem .... Q Sally Merran Arlene Popowitz SILENT LOVE Write me, he said when he left ine, But what have I left unsaid? Spoken words are futile To one I plan to wed. Will written love in a letter In a kiss-sealed envelope Bring me the answer to yearning The yes to my fading hope? Write me, he said when he kissed me Then sor-rowfully walked azuay TfVhat can I write in a letter Proximity could not say?
