X LJ ' at Remembrance of Things Past The day was cold, even for February 5, but you found it pleasant to walk down Driggs Avenue in the frosty air, to stroll casually and look about you at the wagons racing by as their drivers urged their horses on. You wondered what the world was coming to. Those speeding horses were certainly dangerous. Suddenly there was a terrihc noise, or a series of noises like rapid-hre explo- sions behind you, and, as you turned to look, you knew from previous experience what to expect. There it wasione of those new-fangled lrorseless carriages, or tutomobiles as they were being called, tearing down the street at what looked like lr miles an hour at least. You watched it in disgust as it tore by, and turned up your nose at the horrible stench its exhaust pipe left behind it. Of course, the rutomobile w as only a ridiculous fad but you wished people would get over it soon. As you pushed your finger between your neck and your stiff collar to relieve the pressure of the front collar button a bit, you noticed a girl approaching you. urckly, you gave your tie a necessary tiny adjustment and tipped your bowler hat as she passed by, smiling slightly. llncommonly pretty. you thought, and very well dressed. 1900 was certainly an interesting time in ladies, fashions. As you twirled your cane and gently patted your moustache, you thought again of the pleasing picture sho had presented in hir Gibson clothes, with that large hat and the huge bunch of attractive feathers on one side, her flowing sleeves and skirt, her tiny vvustline and her delicate walk. Ah, yes! Here it was-that school building at So. 3rd St. and Driggs Ave. EASTERN DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL it said above the front door. It was three o clock so it was not surprising to see that door open and the children come pouring out Pouring was the word. Nothing else could describe the huge multitude that suddenly hlled the street. You found it quite possible to believe, now that you had seen it with your own eyes, that 300 pupils actually did attend the new school. No wonder they needed 1111 teachers and all those rooms you had heard about- 10 classrooms and a huge basement used as a lurrchroom, bookroom, gym, and musrc room. Our casual stroller on that February day in 1950 must have been even more amazed at the Worldis increasing speed when he discovered, a few years later, that Eastern District High School had found it necessary to go on double session and rn addition use that basement for five classes. But even these measures proved inadequate and Eastern acquired her first annex, McCaddin Hall, which was the scene of her first Commencement in 1904. Sixty-five students were in the graduating class, and history records the fact that Ida H. Harrison was awarded an Alliance Francaise medal at the graduation exercises. lt was the bridge, the magnificent new Williamsburg Bridge that opened in 1903, that was responsible for more crowding at Eastern District. This new traffic artery brought many people to settle in Wiilliamsburg, people who could see what Seven Scene in Girls, Lunchroom-1910. 4This is the main lunchroom today.

So it was that in 1901, Eastern acquired an annex at PS. 143. But the bridge kept pouring more people into this rapidly developing section of Brooklyn and, with the inauguration of trolley service over the bridge in 1905, the population influx really hit its stride. There were no two ways about it. The new school needed a new building and the cornerstone of the present Eastern building was laid on June 26. 1906. With appropriate ceremony and speeches, a copper box was placed inside the cornerstone. Some future archaeologist will. perhaps, discover it some day and perhaps he will find its contents interesting: records of the Board of Education, newspapers. an American flag, and a Bible. The new school building was opened on February 3, 1908, and dedicated formally on October 16. ln the same year, elevated train service over the new bridge went into operation. The world was certainly rushing at a dizzy pace. The automobile was proving to be more than a passing fad. Horse-drawn trolleys were giving way to electric ones. W0mCl17S ankles had begun to appear in public. The pace was getting terrihc. Life at Eastern. too, was getting more complex. Five courses were being offered: the classical. the Latin. the scientific, the modern language. the English and the commercial courses. Numerous clubs were being formed. all enthusiastically sup- ported. Dr. William T. Vlymen, Eastern's First principal, found his school growing by leaps and bounds. In 1924. Princeton Lniversiiy conferred honorary degrees on a number of notables, among whom was our first principal. Dr. Wm. T. Vlymen. L. to r.: Frank Calvin Roberts. Michael 1. Pupin.

Eastern rallied to the colors and acquitted herself nobly. Many of the students joined the armed forces. Others sold Liberty liouds. President Wilson. in a personal letter to Dr. Vlymen. commended the school on her excellent showing. ln May of 1920, a Pageant of Peacei' was presented to secure funds for a memorial to the teachers. graduates and students of Eastern who had served during the war. The memorial look the form of the mural at the Rodney Street entrance to the school, which was unveiled on October 31, 1922. The roaring twenties had begun to roar. The flapper was here with her boyish silhouette. .Xutomobilcs were now cars and they really began to speed things up. Prohibition and prohibition hooch inspired all sorts of nonsense. People did any- thing to attract attention, from sitting on llagpoles to bathing in milk. Eastern was a quiet oasis in all this uproar. It continued steadfastly on its way. adhering strictly to its appointed task of giving its students the best kind ol' educa- tion to meet a rapidly whirling world. ln l9f'iU, hve years after celebrating the sehool's silver anniversary, Ur. Vlyrnen retired and was succeeded by Dr. Frederick W. Oswald. liy 1923i Eastern had added two annexes. one on Meeker Avenue and one on Mclfibben Street. liy l9Ii9. when Dr. Oswald left to become principal ol' the new Lafayette High School. these annexes had been dropped. Dr. Oswald was succeeded by the present principal. Dr. Samuel D. Moskowitz. The fabulous' twenties had been followed by the depressed thirties. Tensions increased all over the world. When Wo1'lcl Wlar II broke out. Eastern did her duty again. '4Liberty7, bonds were now 'lDefense'l bonds and then 'lWar'7 bonds and Eastern bought her share and more. The school supported all the war drives and contributed an ambulance besides. Once again. her teachers and students joined the armed forces and sacrificed much to hasten the day of victory. So here it is 1950 and Easternls golden anniversary Ends her still full of vigor, adding an annex on Humboldt Street, extending the range of her courses, adapting herself to a radically changed and changing environment. fullilling new needs as they arise. always serving her community in a thousand ways. a 5 1 .

Three ghastly-looking creatures are leaping around a flaming pot. ln screeching tones, all off-key, they sing. 4'Double, double toil and troubleg Fire burn, and cauldron bubblefl A frightened-looking young Gibson girl approaches them hesitantly. One of the witches ffor that's what they arel whirls toward her, screaming, '6Who art thou? What is it thou desirest? Speak! Our heroine stammers tearfully, ul am a reporter for the new Eastern District High School newspaper. lf you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, I'd appreciate your giving me a little advance information on the distinguished graduates my school is sure to produce. The witch holds out her skinny hands and says. uCross my palm with silver. With nervous fingers our girl reporter drops a coin into the outstretched hand. The witch screams, there comes a clap of thunder. a puff of smoke, and the bloody apparition of a truant officer appears and speaks. Miss Reporter controls her shaking fingers and takes stenography notes, which follow: ln 1903, Henry Schacht will be a student at Eastern. Several years after gradua- tion he will return as a teacher. Many years later he will leave Eastern again, to join the cast of Arsenic and Old Lace, and then he will go on to Hollywood where, as Henry Sharp, he will appear in many films. In 1913, She Stoops to Conquer will be produced at the school by the graduat- ing class. In it will appear Joseph Auslander. who is destined to win the Harvard Medal for poetry and a fellowship for study abroad and also become a professor at Harvard. as well as one of America's celebrated poets. At this point, the apparition snarls, uAnd now we come to one of our favorite sons-a murderer. He cackles frighteningly. uThis'll kill you! Know who the murderer is? ltls-Willard S. Sprague! ln a play to be produced at your school and called Justice at Last! In his next play. A Dream of the Future, he plays an old bachelor. He comes back to Eastern as teacher and administrative assistantf' Here the cackle becomes so loud that it ends in a paroxysm of coughing and the disappearance of the apparition. 6'Tell me moref, implores Genevieve. 4l've given our girl reporter a name because l'm tired of calling her our girl reporter.l 4'Nol'7 shrieks the second witch. uSeek to know no moref' But Genevieve is persevering and undaunted. Also, she knows her Macbeth, so she's ready with the right answers. ul will be satisfiedfl she says. Deny me this and an eternal curse fall on you. 4'O.K., sisterf' hisses Witch No. 2. MMore silver. pleasef' She feeds the flames with old test papers. There comes a second clap of thunder, and a cloud of smoke fades away to reveal the second apparition, a bloody dean. He speaks in a voice that is itself a clap of thunder, and Genevieve throws away her used-up pencil and seizes another to continue the record: Eastern will produce a novelist. Daniel Fuchs, who will write Summer in Williamsburg and be called to Hollywood lo work as a scenario writer. Twelve There will be actors like Marc Krah lCf1'SS Cross, Black Handl and Marvin Kaplan l Adamis Rib, Red Head and Reformerl and Eugene Smith lSou.th Paeihel. There will be lawyers like Hyman Barshay lat one time assisistant district attor- ney of Brooklynlg Murray Gurfein lassistant to Governor Deweyli .lohn McGrath 4District Attorney of Brooklynl. There will be reporters like you, Genevieve lHow did he know her name? Must be something to this witch businessl. and Meyer Berger lof the New York Times and 1950 Pulitzer Prize winnerl and Kalman Siegel lalso of the New York Timesl. The apparition disappears. Genevieve frantically searches through her purse and throws another coin at the witches. The usual thunder and smoke produce the third apparition-of a principal. ,Xppropriately enough, the third apparition is concerned with alumni educators like Louis Schucker lprincipal of Junior High School il:35l and Minna Colvin lhead of the Social Studies Department at James Madison High Schoolt and Eugene A. Colligan lprincipal of Boys High School and president of Hunter Col- legel and Dr. John F. McNeill lprincipal of Erasmus Hall High School it. He is also interested in George McLaughlin lPolice Commissioner of New York City at one timel and Francis McCarry lludge of Surrogates Courtl. After sneering at the three witches lwho suddenly look like school teachorsl, the third apparition disappears. This time Genevieveis coin and the thunder and smoke appear simultaneously. lBy this time, the witches and Genevieve are working together as smoothly as a C.C.N.Y. basketball team.l The fourth apparition, a gold and white cherub. an- nounces the future rabbis of the East Midwood Jewish Center and the Rockville, Long Island, Jewish CenterHHarry and Perez Halpern, brothers. And now the dawn arrives, the cock crows, the witches disappear tditto the boiling cauldron and other propsl and Genevieve runs back to school, her precious notes clutched tightly, and barely reaches the official class on time. But the strain has been too much. An ambulance is called and she is taken to another Eastern alumnus, Dr. ,loseph Wortis, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at New York University. who listens sympathetically to ber incoherent babbling about the witches of Williamsburg Plaza.

W? V8 l Can Recall- The Friday night debates, where our team would valiantly argue a cause with the team of another high school. The beautiful performances of 6'The Mikadoi' and L'Pina- PVP QCHWARTZ X'0LJNC foref, as well as the artistic and almost professional one of uCavalleria Rusticanaf' These were gala occasions, attended hy not only the students of Eastern, but the entire neighborhood! The heartbreaking occasions when tryouts', for the Dramatic Club were held-with the consequent joy over the outcome-for the successful contestants! The inspiration emanating from the talk given to the entire student body, hy one of our most illustrious and world famous graduates-the beloved poet, Joseph Auslander. The day you were chosen to speak to the student body on some topic lcompletely forgotten nowl and climbed the steps to the platform, clad in your middy blouse, pleated skirt, and tie-and you blacked out-and then spoke in a voice totally unrecognized by youl And your amazement at the applause which followed your closing sentencel The beautiful songs you learned in your music class lheld in the auditorium and presided over by a musician who, tried to the utmost by your combined class antics, still managed to instill in you a deep reverence for 'ggoodi' musicl. The 'Eafter schooli' coaching periods in Latin which you tried to escape, and later found to have been of inestimable value on subsequent examination days! The Latin teacher who greeted your stumbling efforts at translation with That is neither fish, flesh, nor good red herringlj' The graduate now holding high ollicial position in Eastern who brought a watch with alarm attachment to class, and had it go off at a most inopportune moment! Our principal, wearing his black silk skull cap lfor he was an elderly gentle- man susceptible to draughtsll imbibing his mid-morning cup of coffee in the lunchroom. The various pink detention slipsi' which you somehow managed to keep from detaining youl The hectic after-school meetings of the '4Daisy staff-when the Ed-in-Chief waxed so sarcastic as to his staff that one or two lfemales, of coursej were in tears, or resigning, or telling him off at every meeting. The various 'fcolumnsi' in the paper-Athletics, News, Gossip, Poetry, Fiction -and the blasting criticism delivered by editors to each other. The momentous and happy day when your song was sung at class day-you were the class Uprophetessi'-in fact, as far as your family could see, you were the entire performance, for you had also written the class play! The sessions of so-called study at the Williamsburg Public Librarysthe upstairs study room-the friend who studied with you, and whose deep bass voice would bring an admonishing shake of the head from the Librarian in charge! The time w hen two basketball games lin the school gyml and an equal number of debates, attended by you and the particular Ahoy friendw of the day, was a sign that you were fairly serious about the attachmentl Tlzirly-eight The weird combination of sights. smells, and actions in the gym-the days P when navy-blue pleated Hgymi' hloomers, black 'tballetsf' and white middy were regulation for gym, and crammed into small lockers, were pulled out and hastily donned twice weekly. The many happy days-the few heartaches-the wonderful friendships-the ucrushv on various handsome male instructors-the pleasure in the friendship of one or two of the women instructors who gave you help and advice-and best of all, understanding when you needed it- All these I recall with a nostalgia that is part of my being, and my love for the High School that was not only an integral part of my education, but an under- standing and loyal friendl JOHN H. SCHAUMLOEFFEI '04 'Q Qt Recollection By the Author of Our School Song Whevi I went to Eastern District High School, it was lo- cated in a small red brick building at Driggs Avenue and South Third Street. I lived at 107 Graham Avenue and the only way to get to school was to walk. You may be interested to know how the school song, the Cold and White, came to be written. At the time Eastern District was without a school song. I decided to try to write one that would be satisfactory. One morning, just after breakfast, I got the idea that since the Principal, Dr. Vlymen, was a Princeton graduate, the tune of the Princeton song, Orange and Black, would be a good tune, which would also please Dr. Vlymen. Having written several poems which the newspaper, the Brooklyn Citizen, had published, I, at least, had an ear for rhythm. On a piece of paper in which a loaf of bread had been wrapped, I scribbled the first draft of the Cold and While. In school, several days later, I showed the words to a classmate, Irving Coldenberg. He suggested that I show it to our music teacher, Mr. O'D0nnell, I think his name was. I didn't think the song was good enough for a school song, and I said so. My classmate grabbed the sheet of paper and ran away with it. During the lunch period, the Music teacher sent for me. He said the words were very good, so we sang it together. The next thing I knew I was in the PrincipaI's ollice. Dr. Vlymen looked over the song and seemed quite pleased, especially since it was the tune of a song of his Alma Mater. He suggested a few changes in the f wording, and so the Cold and While was born. In the old building we used to have to walk several blocks to NIcCaddin Hall for assembly exercises. Not liking assemblies, several of us used to step behind a pile of boxes in front of a grocery store and spend the period eating pickles and crackers. We would step back into line when our class came back. I played on the basketball team for three years and was manager of the foot- ball team. Among the star players were Harry McGarin and Bill Skidmore. I taught science in high school for over 35 years and retired in 1916. I was chairman of the Department of .Xpplied Physics in the Iirooklyn Technical High School for over twenty years. With happy remembrances of those good old days at Eastern, I am Sincerely, John H.

Easternis faculty consisted of thirteen teachers in the following subjects: three in English. two each in Latin. history and biology. and one each in mathematics. German. physical training and commercial subjects. Six new appointments to various departments were made in September of that year. thus beginning Eastern's tradition of getting the very best in the way of teachersl As Eastern begins to grow. we encounter such notable members of tl1e faculty as Dr. Eugene Colligan. himself an Eastern alumnus. Dr. Colligan left Eastern to become principal of Boys High School. and later. President of Hunter College. Head of Hunter College Extension was A. Broderick Cohen. former teacher at Eastern. Superintendent of New York City Schools before he died was Dr. Campbell. another Eastern teacher. Present Associate Superintendent Jacob Greenberg also taught here. The former head of our Social Studies Department. Dr. Woolf Colvin, is now principal of Seward Park High School. Too numerous to mention are all the Eastern teachers who became chairmen of their respective subjects in other high schools or principals of junior high and elementary schools. The Risikoff Medal, awarded at Commencement for outstanding work on the school paper. is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Seymour Risikoff. English teacher and faculty adviser of the Cold and White, who was killed in World War ll. A good number of Eastern's present-day faculty are graduates of Eastern. Four members of the secretarial department who have returned to Easternis portals are Mrs. Rebecca Stern Epstein. Mrs. Grace Pichel Dukore, Mrs. Belle Solomon Gold- enberg and Miss Esther Holzer. ln an interview with Mrs. Epstein. your reporter discovered that Eastern used to hold Field Days at Curtis High School in June where various competitive games and relay races were held. She could also remember the two-minute setting up exercise drills at the beginning of each period. The popular saying in the school then was, HThrow up the windows, throw out your chests? At that time each senior class chose the theme of their senior day. Mrs. Epstein's grade chose Baby Day when the girls came dressed with ribbons in their hair and socks instead of the customary long stockings. The boys wore short pants and Eton collars. G.0. dues were twenty-five cents. Severe disciplinary measures were taken if a student looked the wrong way at the wrong time. Mrs. Epstein began teaching at Eastern in 1934. Mrs. Dukore can remember when the present day teachers' room l308l on the third floor was a classroom of twenty seats where only Greek was taught. She displayed her Thespian abilities when she apeared in a Christmas play and later became secretary of the Dramatic Society. Mrs. Dukore smiled a bit when she revealed that dancing between boys and girls in the gym was strictly verboten. Dr. Sprague. our Administrative Assistant. is another former graduate of Eastern. During his high school years, Dr. Sprague was an active member of athletic teams and a member of Arista. An interesting note is that Dr. Sprague married the Head Girl of Arista, who also was in his graduating class. Dr. Sprague attended City College, Princeton University, and New York University. and was appointed to Eastern as a Health Education teacher. ln 1932 he was the teacher Forty-one in flmrfu- in ilu' 'itnxut it llc lx Minus tn A K , . , . , 'c-'ei if '- X 1 tl in IMI lu-runu' fMlniii1islrzitiw Assistaint.

GOLD 4 ENBER6 3 Hass h Q . f. . 46' ' fvwer Scuivrs Hy JOAN SIPICICL It was roundup time this term for the Seventh Term Council. lts chief social event. a barn dance. went over with a ' bang and lfasternites were taken back even more than the schoolis 50 years. .Ks usual. our swing band was on hand to play for the occasion. Everyone Skipped to My Lou. joined hands and let themselves go. liozzie Davis. Council Representative from class 7C. was very active in planning and selling tickets to the affair. Rozzy has been active not only in the Council but in Congress and the Gold and While as well. llenee Feldman. Secretary of the GU.. and also a lower senior. has been actively participating in all that Eastern has to offer. Right now the G.0. keeps her pretty busy writing minutes and messages. for she's an important part of the G.U.'s machinery. The Dramatic Club also finds an active Seventh Termer in their midst. A rising star is Adeline lfein- berg. who. along with the dramatic group. is working to make the school's Colden .lubilee Celebration a sure success. Don't think we arenit athletic in our term. Not with Harold Glatter. carrying on as a swordsman for our fencing team and Jack Rosen. baseball enthusiast. pitching them in fast and furious for FLD. We're literary, too, make no mistake about it. Have you read Sam Grossmanis sports page in the Cold una' White? Then you know that we can boast of a future journalist with real writing ability. Sam is also on the sports staff of the Eastern. But fellows donit have top priority in the sports department in the class of i51. For it was a girl. Shirley Nlendelowitz. who crusaded for the opening of E.D. gym at night twice a week for sports for our girls. She herself loves to play basketball and baseball. and her friends will tell you that she's literally a good sport. One thing hasnit changed since i900 in the Seventh Term Class. lfveryone is looking forward to his senior year just as almost seniors have been doing for 50 years. However. they realize this year the problems that they will have to face and everyone is giving thought to the financial and other matters that will concern us when we're graduates. One of the students who have been keeping the school aware of its problems via the editorial pages of the school paper is Rose Arbetter. feature editor. Her sport stories have also graced its pages. We. the Seventh Termers. have changed a lot since 1900. The new idea in teaching is that children should be seen and heard. Many of our students have become community conscious and have joined in many neighborhood improvement campaigns. Students are also becoming alert citizens. History classes. like A.H. lfilf. find eager and attentive students listening. learning and questioning. and Miss Herrmann will tell you that current events are stressed. discussed and explained. Discussion is particularly encouraged and the teaching. contrary to the ideas of the l000's. helps us to think and find out things for ourselves. not to memorize Forly-four LIFE WITH THE DERGRADU TE text, hooks. lfacts are not neglected--hut we are taught the ahility to get up on our feet and speak intelligently. The seventh term class has only one more precious term left to high school. We have many of our students in the ranks of the Arista. Many of us are only now really heginning to feel at home in our school. and ills a great feeling when we walk through the halls and know almost all the students and say hello to the teachers. lt's a kind of funny feeling you get when you see the Freshies coming in. All of a sudden you feel that itis all going so fast-that youire' getting old-f--maylme itis funny to you hut thatls the way the class of '51 feels. juxwrs SIXTH TERM Hy JOAN GIQIQSTEN Let us. dear reader. devise a time machine that will take us hack almost three years. The place is a hig auditorium. which. no doubt. you will still recognize as there have lmeen few improvements since then. There are hundreds of scared kids in the room for they are first entering high school. starting a new life. or so they've heen told. One hy one their names are called out: names that meant nothing to you then, hut little hy little. with the passage of time. you associate those names with certain activities about the school. To speak scientihcally. there are mainly two groups that make up our school. There are. hrst of all. the inert elements and. secondly. those active elements that make up a small nucleus charged with atomic energy tmy thanks to all science teacherst. we are concerned with the latter group. As time went on. there were more in my term who helonged to the second small group. Not only were they dependent upon themselves, hut they had always an alert grade adviser, Mrs. Levine. to push them along when necessity demanded it. Now those same scared kids have reached the sixth term and important things are going on. Those previously mentioned name associations are still here. For instance. when you say the name Elaine Eiglarsh. you connect it with a pretty and intelligent girl who. this term. is co-captain of the cheering squad. ln previous terms she was extremely active in many cluhs. such as the Personality Clulm of which she was elected president. Hut that's not all: this term she is planning on running for GU. President. Well. let's go on with thc game of name associations concerning sixth termers. l..et's take names like Helly Redshaw. Diane Weil. or Phyllis lflias. Do they click? When you lietty Redshaw. do you think of a short hlonde who is eo-husiness editor of the Cold and While, and who is one of the most well-read Easternites and an active memlver of many clulms? Diane Weil is the sixth termer who made all of Eastern proud of her when she won third prize in a contest for her scraphook on world trade. The name Phyllis Elias strikes a familiar note. or should we say funny note. She is known throughout Eastern for her sense of humor and is pretty active in extra-curricular activities, lweing an assistant editor on the Cold and White and an important memlrer of Mrs. Zuckeras art squad. Did l mention art? That hrings into mind names like Roslyn Shapiro. Mary Nlanos. Edward Ratner. Forly-fizfc Nancy Wasserman and aspiring cartoonist Dorothy Alcosser. If you say dramatics. you think of Edna lRios rather than a big movie star. If we had a N sixth term popularity poll. my guess is that Winnie Clarrie would come out on top. But one mustn't forget the boys in sixth term. There are too few of ' ' 1 ' them to make that possible. There are Henry Marko- witz, Harvey Bean. and Sidney Cohen on Easternis basketball teamg Abe Feuerstein is captain of the Service League, an important member of the Forum Club and an assistant editor of the Cold and White. Well, thus far we've mentioned the law and athletics of Eastern. How about one of our scholastically-minded boys such as Stanley Miller, who is also running for the C.0. Presidency. He was once president of a club which was organized by sixth termers. In case you havenit already guessed, I'm referring to Club 51. a club which accomplished many things, for example, a trip to the ballet, a tour of the Metropolitan Museum. and a theatre party to see the picture. Hamlet. Sixth termers are social-minded enough to want their own council to plan certain activities. There is dehnitely on the council's agenda a dance in May. and a boat ride is yet to be voted upon. The adage. Money is the root of all evilf' is no worry to sixth termers. since they have begun to save their millions now in preparation for senior expenses. Thus we see that Eastern's sixth term does not lie dormant. lt has many alert individuals who help to give Eastern the school spirit she has. FIFTH TERM By JEROME COOK Tin- average fiflli-tcrmcr Is floppy and guy, For his lliglz school carccr ls Hnialzcd. lH!I1f-1l'l1j'.'l Hcis rcry anibitious.

According to VVebster,s Dictionary. hfifthn is next in order after fourth.'i tlf you donit believe me. look it up yourselfll. .Xnd Mtermn is a limited time according to the same source of information. '6Limitcd is a tricky word. For some liastcrnites. the fifth term is a wonderful place to be. It offers unlimited opportunities for entering the sixth term. For others. it's a time limited to agony and torture. This all depends on the character of the individual. And speaking of characters. let's meet the ones that call the fifth term their home. Did you ever notice three fellows continually talking about planes and motors and stuff? They're part of Easternis representatives in that fascinating hobby. model airplane flying. These arm chair aviators are Norman Fabricant. SB, Marvin For- rest. 5A. and yours truly. .Xfter school duties are hnished. these fellows can be seen Forly-six rushing down to the nearest flying field with their monstrosities under their arms. Under certain con- ditions. these freaks tthe airplanes! can attain speeds up to l5O m.p.h.l Pretty fast. huh? So if the teachers notice that their heads are always in the clouds. they may he right! lint 11ow let's meet some celebrities with their feet on the ground. Take Phillip Newman of Sli, for instance. There is always a close relationship between him and Mother Earth. '4Fossil,' Newman. as he's commonly called. is over-sentimental and loves to see l rankenst,ein pictures. Could that he where he gets the ideas for those stories that have long heen a scourge to all those unfortunate people who are close enough to hear them? This term. Phil is running for GO. 'l'reasurer. Better not try to leave the state. Phill Another talented fifth-termer in our midst is Lillian Reich of Class 5A. Lillian. who's heen studying music for seven years, gave two piano recitals at the Carnegie Chamber Hall three years ago. Miss Reich intends to continue this career and hopes to graduate from college with a Doctor of Music degree. You should hear her utreatmentu of Beethoven! So there you have them. some studious, some frivolous. the ? ? ? ? ? ? of tomorrow. Soplfamvres FOURTH TERM lly JUDY DRAM Fourth Terml To some Easternites this means that there are yet two more years of misery. To others it means they have had two years of fun and that there are only two more years to go. One fourth-termer who is really taking full advantage of his high school educa- tion is Jere Miller. Except for the unusual way that he spells his first name. he is an average sixteen-year-old boy. His voice is helping to make the newly formed Boys' Chorus a success. Another outstanding Easternite is Frances Brettler. who became interested in G.0. work in her second term. ller record of extra-curricular credits sounds much like a roll call of all the clubs and committees in the school. Nlost of lfastern has heard of Charles Sommers. Although only in the fourth term, he was elected President Pro Tempore of Congress. His voice can he heard in school long after the dismissal hell rings. Charles Sommers is one lmoy of whom all fourth termers can he proud. Working on the Art Squad is the talented fourth-termer. Charlotte Ricket. She has lieen lVlrs. Zucker's right-hand man for the past term. Bernard Tompkins is the manager of the track team. Without him the runners of the track team would he helpless. One of the lmoys whom Bernard manages is Leo Cicero, a fourth-termer. who has won many honors for E.D.'s track team. The fourth term has its genius. also-eMarely Stock.

Murray Tornofsky is the fencing! champ of the fourth term. He liegan his training in the early days of his first-term. lfasternites can look forward to seeing Murray hecome a star. The fourth-termers have two new official teachers-f--Mr. Stark and Nlr. Schuchat. Mr. Schuchat. a liiology teacher. went to firooklyn College and New York l'uiver- sity. He is the faculty adviser of the Photography Cluh. Nlr. Stark is a graduate of Brooklyn College. Though he teaches English. he is primarily a speech teacher. He is the new director of the Dramatic Cluli. There they are. Eastern, the teachers and students who make heingr a fourth- termer an exciting experience. THIRD TERM Ry BARRY TICLL The upper classmen just shrug their shoulders and look the other way at the mention of the third term. For that matter, so does everyone else in the school. The students in the higher grades seem to think that third termcrs arenit interested and don't take part in school activities. The truth is that we of the third term do participate in school activities. Third termcrs are CD. representatives, just like everyone else. They perform their duties well in the Service League. They are members of numerous clubs. and they do their share on liasternis different teamr. There are some good souls who dou't stop and yell 'freshieii at a poor third termer. Unfortunately, they are few and far between. lflliot Miller. the popular fencing: coach. says that he'd like to have more lower classmen going out for his team. liven as this is licingr written. there are five third termcrs on lflliotis squad. .lust to name a few third termcrs serving thc school. there is speedy little Charles Sockwell. who helps hring home the lmacon for the track team. and there are two ahle memliers of the hand who arc in the third term. They are lrw'iu Smith and Joseph Marmo. So you see. even though we are unappreciated, we third-termers will continue to serve lfastern in the hest way possihle. ?rcsl1me14 THE ANNEX Hy SALLY HIRSCHIXFRC Skillman Aienuel That name doesnit ring a hell in your mind. does it? lint to me and 1150 others it does. Thats the street where I tug the huzzer. get oil the lvus and walk a hlock to the right. There I see a large red hnildiug dating hack to 1893 which, up until a short time ago, was an elementary school. But now the title of Eastern District Annex has lxeen hestowed upon it. The Annex, although just opened. is well organized and is already functioning smoothly. Some cluhs are now in existence. among them the Math Cluh. the New man Clnlt and the Dancing Cluh. An annex newspaper has also lteen organized and it plans to have its lirst issue out shortly. A Helnjew Culture Clult, Science Cluli and Language Cluh are also on the way. However. the highlight of the term so liar was the CU. Election. Two parties. the Gold and White and the Eastern Party, put up some very worthy candidates and the competition was keen. Running on the Gold and NVhite slate were: Ethel Levy lor President, Frank Bellizi for Vice President. Annette Anzalone for Secretary. and Kenneth Could for Treasurer. Their very worthy opponents were: Rosemarie Basile for President. Teresa Crasso for Vice President, Roberta Gillmore for Secre- tary. and Cornelia Johnson for Treasurer. An excellent assembly program was given at which Jules Kornblau, Joan Siegel, and Burton Markowitz were guest speakers. .Xiter the hallots were tallied. the winners proved to he Hosemarie liasile for presi- dent and. in the other three positions, the candidates of the Gold and White party. Rosemarie lost no time getting started. for the Hrst oliicial meeting of the Annex Congress was called. And so you see the GO. activities are well under way. I suppose you're wondering how we freshies like our new school. To get a picture of it in your mind. cut the main building in half, subtract a few staircases, add a dash of new desks and sprinkle well with large wardrohe rooms. The only major gripe is the size of the lunchroom and gym! ?t. The gym las it is inappropri- ately calledt is ahout 60 feet long and 40 feet wide. As you can see, this doesn't give us mitch room. hut we have a consolation. Comes warmer weather. we can go outside to the large yard. Aside from this fact, weire quite happy. The school is clean and airy, and. to make sure it stays that way, a Service League has heen organized. There are at least seven monitors on post every period and theyive heen doing a swell job so far. Another thing the students are quite pleased with is the teachers. We have the cream of the crop, at the Annex. and already we're just dripping with knowledge. In short, we like the Annex. Forty-nine rllgux a-as,-Q W.

Her determined attitude did not show' any signs of surrender. Mrs. Iiied watched eagerly for a sign of submission from Carolyn.

Why is that? liecause he has received parental blessing in advance. A cut and dried proposal to be suref, The girl laughed coolly. Mrs. Ried was indeed baliled. She had expected Carolyn to break down. Now. her new line of talk seemed to make her more determined than before. She knew that it was time to retreat or she would be overwhelmed. Mrs. Ried embraced her daughter and kissed her. Then she stepped out of the room and left Carolyn to herself. The girl listened carefully for the sound of retreating footsteps and then locked the door carefully. Carolyn took Richardis picture from its resting place on the mantelpiece and strode over to the window. There she sat in the shadow of the afternoon sun. eyeing the picture of Richard. 6'I'm going to tear you up and out of my life, Richard, she winced. nThere you go into the waste basketf, Out on the city street. a few persons strolled about. enjoying the warm sunshine. Carolyn looked out of the window. 'Ll think I'll go out for a walk. Staying in here all day gives way to many unpleasant recollectionsf' Carolyn started for the stairway. Her father's voice caused her to halt with surprise and curiosity. Why was her father home at this early hour? What could have happened? She leaned over the bannister and listened anxiously. hliichard cannot have my daughter. By no means. noi He has lost a lot. how much is not yet known. Mr. Ried spoke in a melancholy tone. How do you know? asked Mrs. Ried. The news comes direct from the Exchange. All the bulls and kingpins of the market are wondering at his actions. For a week he has been selling at a loss. Now he throws his entire holdings upon the market, and out falls the bottom of wheat. uliut Richard isn't ruined?', 'tHe lost about a hundred thousand dollars. He may have something left. That isn't his last asset. He lost his nerve, and nerve is everything in Wall Street. No. no. my clear, my daughter must not be entrusted to himf, '4Certainly not, aflirmed Mrs. Ried. 'LWas Richard Stonewell to call this evening?,' inquired Mrs. liied. 'tHe said he wouldf, 'cWell, most probably he won't. He may call for advice. and l don't care to see him. Weill go out somewhere. How about Carolyn? She is not aware of his intention. l'll see to her. said Mrs. Ried. assuringly. Thatis good. lt will be easy then, Mr. Ried insinuated. Surely, Carolyn is a loving and dutiful girl, answered Mrs. Reid. confidently. As the last words of her mother died out, Carolyn. pale and trembling, returned to her room. She fell limply upon the pillowed divan, buried her face in her warm, pulsive hands and pondered over the conversation which had just ensued. Fifty-three If-f J So Richard has lost in the market. He was accused of idiotic finance by the hears of the Street. What safety would there he in entrusting herself to a man like that-a weak- ling. without nerve or ordinary sense. Surely, she thought, her objection to Mr. Stonewell were justified by his late disastrous escapade in high finance. L'Carolyn,', called her mother, as she opened the door half way, 'fwe have fixed up a little supper party at Perry Hall this evening. Will you come F I think not, mother. I feel rather indisposedf, Well, then, take some stimulant and retire earlyf' her mother replied. 'LBy the way, we have decided to let you have your own way in the matter. I mean about Mr. Stonewell. Carolyn nodded her head. It is not necessary that you should see him if he callsf' Mrs. Ried suggested. With an affectionate adieu, Mrs. Ried left the chamber. The departure of her mother seemed to thrust Carolyn into another mood of meditation. Donald surely had something left. He had not made any illegitimate transaction. He had simply been reckless. Suppose he started over again and the wheel of fortune turned his way, then he would be lauded as heartily as he was now criticized. Carolyn was startled by the entrance of the solemn butler who announced the presence of Mr. Richard Stonewell. She bade the butler conduct Mr. Stonewell to the drawing room and to state that she would be down presently. Carolyn perfected her boudoir and then proceeded downstairs to entertain Richard. There was Richard, his appearance betraying hasty and careless dress. Stonewell, haggard and pale, clutched the girl's hand and sighed deeply as the butler stepped out of the room. L'Carolyn,,' murmured Richard, 'Tm glad we're alone. Now I can speak up like a man and act like one, too. Ifve gone and been engaged to your parents. All this while, you were not consulted. I,m not asking another chance, nor do I deserve one. A fool there was, and I was the fool. First thing I knew, I was calling quite often at your home. Your father took a liking to me. We talked of everything from current politics to the family history and illustrious ancestors. Then we touched upon matrimony, and, when I took occasion to speak about you, your mother wasnit so sure about it and your father scratched his head in hesitation. They came around all right after that. But your mother assured me that dear Carolyn must be ques- tioned beforehand and that I must be guided by her. I felt mean and mad. You were being treated unfairly, so was I. I had no chance to fight the battle and now the battle,s lost. 'EI wouldn't have called and bothered you tonight only I wanted to say goodby to all of you. I intend to settle up in a few days and then I'm going to-somewheref' Are you going away?H she whispered, and drew her chair up nearer to him. Yes, impossible to remain in the city heref, You must go?', she questioned again. Confound itl Yesf, Richard, I know of your trouble, spoke Carolyn as she looked into his large brown eyes.

I-I want to help you and I want you to stay here-with mef, Her voice trembled. Richard Stonewell could hardly believe his senses. Had Carolyn surrendered the ship to him? Truly it was the turning of the tide. If he wished to make his prize secure, he must grasp the opportunity now before him.

Then it fell and fell badly. Something was needed to prop the market. My brokers threw all my shares on the market and down fell wheat still further. In Chicago, we bought all we could lay hands on at a ridiculously low quotation. NWC lost approximately a hundred thousand in New York, and made about three hundred thousand in Chicago, meaning that we are two hundred thousand ahead on the dayis play. Richard laughed joyfully. 'LI don't see where I,m of any usef, sweetly suggested Carolyn. '6You donit, eh? Well, you can help me live on that sum I made in Chicago.

She resented. somehow. the girlfs youth and vitality. Once, she had been like that-young. and gay and lively. She wondered. a little dully, where life had gone. Forty years, and twenty of them belonged to the Mammoth Store. The years were beginning to frighten her a little-just a little. Miss Cillman could not have told you she was unhappy, but she was. Not extremely unhappy, no, indeed. Miss Cillman never went to extremes. There was just a vague idea that something was missing. The feeling irritated her. annoyed hor. She turned on her heel and walked away impatiently. That night Miss Cillman met Amy. Amy stopped Miss Gillman on the street and quietly asked for something to eat. Asked-not begged. The tall hgure in the shabby sport coat fascinated Miss Gillman. Not that there was anything pretty about Amy. but the high cheek-bones, crooked smile and large fathomless eyes in the small pointed face were not unlovely. For the first time in her life Miss Gillman followed an impulse. Perhaps it was the first time in her life that she had ever felt impulsive. She asked Amy to go home with her. And in a quiet, matter-of-fact tone Amy agreed. On the way the girl ventured nothing about herself except that her name was Amy. Miss Gillrnan asked her nothing. She didnit care, somehow, to know. In the quiet apartment the two women sat down to dinner. Amy, Miss Gillman noticed, moved with a sort of feline grace. They talked of nothing in particular. Half the time Miss Cillman listened to Amy's rich, throaty voice with the odd, foreign trace about it, without really knowing what she was saying. At times. she asked herself in a dim, frightened way. if this could be Miss Cillman, forelady of the Mammoth Department Store, a respectable and staid spinster. who had taken an unknown girl into her home and was sitting there eating dinner with her. But as she listened to the soft voice and watched the girl move about. those moments of surprise passed. After all. what did it matter? She did not pity Amy. There was an odd sort of pride. a rather studied indifference about her that repelled sympathy and pity. As a matter of fact, Miss Cillman was ll0t quite sure if she liked Amy. No, she was not at all sure. Still-that odd magnetism-I The girl arose to go. Miss Gillman remonstrated, at first faintly and then insistently. And all the time she found herself wondering why, why? The girl turned to her. UNO, she said slowly. Nthank you. I would stifle here, as you are stifling. I must live. I am not afraid of life. l love it. Good-bye. Thank you again. The door closed behind her, and her youth and spirit faded from the room. Miss Gillman rose suddenly and went to the mirror. No, no. she wasn't old. Of course not. The kindly. shaded light in the room hid the lines in her face. She looked at the image in the mirror and began to laugh, a little hysterically. She knew now what she wanted. Lifel Everywhere around her was life. and she had been blind . . . so blind. She had money. She would go to Paris. London. Vienna. every- Fifly-six where! She would wear beautiful clothes. She would meet interesting. different people. She would live! She wouldn't stifle-stifle was what the girl had said-she would start again. All those years in the Mammoth! The awfulness of it! An honored and valued employee! She never wanted to hear those words again! She was going to be loved, admired, feted. Tomorrow she would resign. Castles began to rise in her mind. Rosy, colorful castles alive with romance. lVliss Gillman was wakened by the shrill voice of her alarm clock. Outside, the ruin poured down in dismal gray sheets. She tried to smile as she thought of the coming trips. She felt that the smile was a little forced. Finally, with an odd feeling of dread, she turned to the mirror. In the cruel morning light she saw a tired, drab old woman in a severe black dress with lace cuffs-her uniform. Nothing soft, nothing lovable about her. She turned away. How foolish! Only last night she had been young. stately, even beautiful. She had been gay and vibrant with life. And now-she turned her thoughts into another channel. Today she would resign. How surprised they would be! She hurried through the few streets leading to the Mam- moth Store. The rain sent a chill through her bones. What was it that Doctor Neil had said about her rheumatism? She shook the thought away impatiently. She repeated over and over again the speech she had prepared tendering her resignation. She was a little frightened. As she entered the great building, she knew suddenly that she would never leave. She was a coward! She was afraid! The great walls of the building seemed to be closing around her, holding her like a steel vise. gripping her. She couldn't go! For a moment she faltered. Then outwardly calm, she went up to her domain, the second floor. On the way, the manager stopped her. ulVliss Gillman. may I intro- duce you to Mr. Brown. the new assistant manafrer?', '4How do you do Pl, And then: 'GlVIiss Cillman is one of our most honored and valued employees, Mr. Brownf, C' The honored and valued employee walked quietly up to the second floor. 6'God. she prayed, please donit let me scream.

It was a bright sunny morning, lilletl with the smell ol' pine cones crackling on a lire, the odor of fresh-heysn logs and the clean, country lircsh air that one smells in the typical Maine small town. This has the town that l hail lreen horn in and, after Fifteen years of ahscnce, had come hack to. It was in spring, l remember, the season that hrings joy to the heart of every young boy from fifteen to fifty and the farmers were arriving in town with their annual gossip and pro- cluce. The thing that made me most curious, however, were statements such as, There goes the Hasset troy. anti. 0h. oh. thereis trouhle a-hrewin, tonight. l wondered why the people looked at me so Clearly and also so very queerly. l am a normal human heing. you know. and so l wondered. I cleeimlecl to do some- ,, -W 1 x- 1. x.., .tt.t , 1 1'fly-nine thing about it and so I went to the local historian. Zebediah Crownhill. tHe is or was the local gossip.J g'Hasset,', he said, I remember that name, but I canit seem to place it. Wait a minute! Oh, yes, now I know. Well, the Hasset boy, come back at last. Now son, take it easy, sit down and tell me about yourself. I didn't feel in the mood to talk, especially since I wanted old Zeb to do the talking and tell me the cause of the stares that brought imaginary. or real, chills II don't know whichj down my spine so that I felt as if a winter ice cube had been dropped down my back by a prankish youngster. Well, he finally began, NI guess that ye must be wantin, to know why folks are talkin' about yeh. I'll tell you, son, but donit hold it agin me if the facts arenit to your likinil That can't be helped, son. That jest canit be helped. And with that he began to tell me a story that made me feel as if I had just received a ducking in the icy Squawdrink River. 4'You're OK to come to me this way, son,,7 he began, Hand so Iill tell yeh about Bill Hasset the first. He was your grandpappyf' he said as he sat puffing on the old Cherryroot pipe that dad had given to him, Hand he acted a mite queer. though no livin, creature paid any mind to him. At first he was the gentlest soul even if ye compare the folks all the way up to Portland. Later, though. he hesi- tated, later he wasn't so gentle and that's why folks look at you so queer, you know, namesake and all. Why, you're the spittin' image of old Bill. Bill and Mary Holbrook were about to be married when Mary up and took sick and died. Now Bill, he was as sensible as any, I guess, but he up and went plumb crazy. Every- body thought that after the grievin' period was over, why, Bill would find himself another gal and marry her. He did but ,twarenit happiness for long. No sir. Bill, he never did get over it. He acted like he was happy when he was with your grandmammy but when I saw him up to the Post Olhce, why, he was a sittin' and mopin' all the time jest like a newborn lamb. Yep, I saw signs of trouble at the beginnin'. When your grandmammy died, why Bill was so het up about his double loss, he jest went along with the funeral, but they had to drag him away from what's its name, oh yeah, the Sepulcher. A kind of tomb I guess. Waal, he was never quite right in the head, you know, after that. Fact is, folks thought he should be committed to that there asylum up to Portland or thereabouts. Fact is, I thought so too, but I never said so because, well, in the old days, Bill. he was a friend of mine. I couldn't bear to see him a locked up in that there place, a man who was always used to the outdoors. No, sir. Waal, your folks had moved away, but when they heard of the old cootis trouble. why they upped and moved back again. Mainers stick together, you know. Waal, soon after the old buzzard died. but then your pop, who everybody thought was 'right' well ,... son, this was never told to ye, ye were away at school and, waal, he went plumb crazy also. Ye never saw him again, I remember. They told ye he died. He didn't die here. He died in the loony bin. I thanked him very much and gave him the next to the last ten dollar bill I had in my pocket to buy a Christmas present with. Later, as I approached the group of loungers at the General Store. one of the coots said to me, HI see that ye have been a visitin, up to Old Zeb's. Teh, teh. The old cootis battier than a belfryf, As I walked out of the store I wondered. I am still wondering.

He would take me on his lap. smooth my dress. take his glasses out of his right jaeket poeket, put them on. and liegin to read to me. l'snally I would lean hack and close my eyes, hut one time I remember staring at my lineleis old face.

There were lilies around his month and on his forehead. llnele Jake used to tell me that if I ever got around to eonnting all the lines on his faee I would he alwle to find out how old he really was.

F I I Grwdlfycz Eh Ydlmod By GEORGE KEAIY I guess it is not necessary to describe how one feels. when one is scolded by his teachers and parents for not having done the required school work. Yet why should a young hoy of nine years spend his time doing homework when he can amuse himself hy playing in the streets during those nice, sunny afternoons of lVIay? Why should I make daily countless additions. subtractions. multiplica- tions and divisions? I know anyway that the next day the teacher would be ready to give us a new supply of those annoying exercises. So day in. day out. should I really hecome a slave to those dusty books? Therefore. I decided to stop at once. to huild a wall hetween myself and my school. and to enjoy myself instead of doing homework. The result of this plan was that my father was called to school, and was informed of my misbehavior. My father was terribly angry that evening. He promised me several punishments. if I did not change. He told me that I should he ashamed of being so lazy and so childish. In order to escape further scolding. I retired to my hedroom. and promised myself not to change. While falling asleep, I swore to remain childish and lazy till the end of my life. I do not know how long I slept that night. Yet, when I woke up, it was not yet entirely day. I heard a heavy thunder. In the next room I heard my parents and other people talking. People were running all through the house and street. One clap of thunder followed the other and yet it was not raining. I sprang out of bed. and ran to the window. The spectacle I saw in the street is difficult to put into words. lt was the most terrilwle confusion I had ever seen. People were leaving their houses. Every one ran into the streets. All those peace-loving people were chased out of their sleep. and were now in such confusion. that one could not hold them responsible for their deeds. Here a woman was running. using a frying pan as a helmet in order to protect herself against the shells. There another old lady ran. carrying a heavy dresser, which was at least twice the weight and size of the lady herself. The confusion hecame still worse when suddenly a group of Stukkas lSturz-Kampfllugzeugel came out of the sky throwing themselves upon their targets. They emptied their deadly freight. and the next moment they had disap- peared. .Xll that remained was a street of hurning houses. screaming people. and sim-m-1, smoke. smoke. smoke. Hell was on earth. hurning people were running through the streets. People who had heen prosperous and respected the day liefore. now were running. dressed in burning rags. Vte had hardly recoyered from our first shock. when a squadron ol' Nlesser- schmidtsn arrived. Those airplanes and their crews were especially trained to light civilians. Down they came. and the next moment the lmullets whistled through the streets. 'l'aktaktaklll As if struck hy an unseen. powerful list. the unhappy people sank down into the hlood-streaming street. 1 could stand it no more. and turned away from the window. The lirst who was almle to talk alter this horrilmle scene was my father. He asked my mother to make hot collee: meanwhile he tried to call up the station to order tickets for the next train to France. lloth were unsuccessful: the wires of telephone lines were all destroyed. and so was the gas line. Soon we found out that the water pipes. as well as the electrical wires. were out ol' order. The Germans. in their typical exactness. proxed themselves experienced in attacking and destroying a peace-loving civilization. Everything had heen prepared and exactly calculated long: hefore. Like actors who had rehearsed their piece seieral limes hefore. the German Lul'twa11e did a perfect joh. 1 irst they destroyed the water reservoir. then all means of communication. Unce those preparations were made. the German heroes threw' themselyes upon the civilians. Thus it happened that the tire lwrigade could help only the people leaying the houses. but could not extinguish the llames. From these facts. the reader may judge whether one should trust the Germans again and whether one should believe their lies. Two weeks lielore this terrihle attack. the Germans had promised that they would not repeat the aggressions of 191-1 in case of war in the west. Then. without declaring war. on May 1.0, 1910. Germany attacked Belgium. Sixty-lfz ree lfrom our house to the station it rarely took more than twenty minutes. Yet this day it seemed to me as if it took hours to reach th: station. Countless times the German airplanes came down out of the sky and eountless times we had to throw ourselves on the ground. lfinally we carrie to the station. The entire popu- lation of Antwerp was there. People were lighting their way into the station: a terrible panic reigned everywhere. Soon we realized that it was hopeless to stay there: there was more chance to be shot by the airplanes. We returned home. In the afternoon my father was arrested because he was a German citizen. Nly mother asked also to be arrested, but the ollicer answered that he had orders to arrest only my father. ini? We accompanied my father to prison. No explanations nor reasoning could help. We explained we were Jewish and therefore anti-German. but we were unsuccessful. My father was German, the Germans had attacked Belgiuln. there- fore he had to be arrested. Oh, how terrible l felt that day. in the middle of a burning city, with my father behind prison bars! Wllile we were standing there in the prison, one German Jew after the other was brought into jail. Soon many of our friends shared the prison with my father. lf I think all this over. I van only come to the conclusion that all the authorities were crazy. Here was a prison full of German Jews. who had fled Germany because of their fear of Nazism. and now they were blamed for the attack. Suddenly an officer came in and ordered all women and children to leave. It was a hard goodbye because no one knew whether we would ever meet again. Sixty-foztr We went home. I was terribly tired and went to bed. Oh, how l changed that day! Was it really yesterday that I had been so angry with my poor dear father? Oh, if he would only be back now. I would promise to do everything' he wanted me to do. Thus, while outside the guns sounded, I fell asleep. May eleventh and twelfth passed without any special incidents. The Germans were bombing during those entire days, yet we were already immune to those attacks. We sat quietly upon our boxes, and waited in front of the station for a train which might never arrive. Monday the bombing became still worse, yet the train did not arrive. Mon- day afternoon the station was blown up, and our last hope was gone. This evening we went, for the first time, to sleep in a shelter. The shelter was as full as a sardine can. Outside the shooting and bombing went on monotonously. During the night a woman became crazy. I shall never forget her standing in the middle of the shelter, tall, with her hair loose, hanging over her shoulders, and in one hand a candle. The words which came out of her mouth were real prophecy. She exclaimed, 'eHow can you sleep, when those devilish Germans are kindling a fire which will burn throughout the entire world? They are destroying our homes, and butchering our children, and massacring us all. Let us all diel Diel How sweet it is to die, and be freed from this hellish lifeln The night we passed there in the shelter was the most terrible I had ever experienced. ln the morning we seemed to be buried alive. The doors were heavily blocked with debris. Strong men had to work till late in the afternoon before we were able to see the light again. We learned that a new station had been opened the previous day not far from town. We hurried to this woodlrfh blockhouse which had been made into the new station, and arrived there late at night. This time we had luck, and got a place in a train. The train was to leave the next afternoon. As the time went on, the train filled till there seemed to be not an inch of space unoccupied. Meanwhile younger people swarmed over the roof of the train. On the other side of the track stood a train, reserved for the army. One after the other of those unfortunate young men arrived. lVlost of them would have to face death very soon. The scenes which I witnessed there were heartbreaking. Here an old mother accompanied her son to the train, bidding him to take good care .... There an old gentleman came with his three sons. He made a cross for each, and then in a clear voice said, 'GI have done my paternal duty. I have brought you up, and sometimes I was harsh. God only knows whether I shall see you ever again. Therefore, sons, know that I forgive you for everything! Thus speaking, he turned around and, without saying anything more, slowly walked out. I had not recovered from these scenes, when a little boy of about seven came with his father. The little boy kept asking his father to write him as soon as he arrived. It was terrible to see how this father kissed his son and asked him to take good care of the sick mother. Then the poor man could no longer control himself. Tears were running down his cheeks, he jumped into the train without taking any more notice of his son. I could no longer look upon those scenes. I buried my face in the bundles. A flew houri later the train left. The villages and towns we passed looked all t at Q T Sixty-five '--we--1-fs' .-re-1va,ff: o2t1. . 'Iggy f .

The houses were burned out. corpses were lying in the streets. and the few remaining inhabitants made them- selves ready to flee. We traveled during the entire day. without facing any deadly attacks. but the German air force seemed to be eyerywhere and anywhere. The military train had left with us together. and was now riding parallel witl1 our train. Vive thought that we had escaped our misery. when suddenly our two trains were attacked by German airplanes. The bombardment lasted till late in the night. There were no air planes nor anti- aircraft, anywhere in the territory we just passed. Thus we were the merciless prey of Hitler's Luftwaffe. Late at night the Germans had accomplished their work. The army train was like a burning snake. The men inside were screaming and crying like wild animals. Few' of them were able to jump through the windows. The uniforms and bodies of those men were like burning torches. We helped them as well as we could. Most of the wounded were loaded on our train, and the rest remained there, to die. I was thinking whether the father of that little boy, or the three sons of the old gentleman were alive. or dead. I felt terribly sorry for them all. Early in the morning the train left. It was terrible with all those wounded and exhausted persons. Many looked as if they had become crazy during the night. Finally we arrived at Ghent. The train had not yet entered the station, when we were told that it was required for army transporta- tion. We had to change over to another train. This train came directly from the depot, where it had been stored since IQIO. One can imagine how the speed of this train worked upon our nerves. Each minute, each hone of our body was shocked at least sixty times. Finally, late at night we arrived at Ypres. We were so tired that we left the train and. like all the other people, lay down in the middle of the street and slept. A man sleeps well and long only when he is really tired. He does not even care where or on what Ile lies, as long as he can stretch his bones and lie there like a dead man. When we awoke the next day. we were arrested for being German citizens. We would have been condemned to death for being spies, had not a terrible bombard- ment blown np half the town. while we were on trial. I shudder when I think how those military trials sen- tenced and executed innocent people, just because they were talking a foreign language. We bought an old baby carriage somewhere, upon which we loaded our bundles, and we left Ypres. We thought we would go faster by foot than by train. For ten days we ran along the ditches of the road. On the road the trucks were racing to the front lines. The sun was burning mercilessly on our bodies, and from time to time the Germans bombarded us. As time went on, dead bodies became a familiar sight. We had a double enemy to face, not only the Germans, but also the French f'Garde lVIobile', who executed wherever they could find German citizens. Twice we were arrested and condemned, but escaped miraculously. Finally we reached the French border. General lronside's NTommies', were defending the place. We attached ourselves to the English army, and so were protected from the savagery of the HGarde Mobile. We were retreating with the British forces to Dunkirk. We became better acquainted with the English soldiers. Therefore, we felt doubly sorry when we saw from day to day how those poor devils became fewer and fewer. One old officer who took care of us tried once, while a heavy bombardment took place, to cheer us up by talking German to us. He said something like this, Das sollte Sie doch nicht aufregeng Sie wissen doch wir haben ein bischen Krieg mit Hitler! f'4Why are you worried? You should know that we have a little bit of war with Hitlerlwj We reached Dunkirk, and the English bade us come with them to England. Yet we feared we would be torpedoed by the German submarines. We wished them farewell, and remained there in the hell of hells. The Germans were attacking by this time from the North, the East and South. The heavy guns were thundering day and night. Their Luftwaffe,' did not disap- pear even for an hour. The remaining English and French army forces defended themselves like lions. We had been lying in a shelter for an eternity, when finally the Germans entered town. We had fled from nazism and injustice, yet those evil powers were faster than we. I do not know the day, because we had long lost any account of time, when we were recaptured by those stiff gray monkeys. Thank heavens that they were too busy with their war against England, which they thought would be over in four weeks. Thus we started on our way back, all hope gone, all lost. We were tired and desperate and the kilometers passed very slowly. We also could not use the trains or cars. On a sunny afternoon we came back to Antwerp. The city seemed to us now not so had at all. Many repairs had been made, because the great Fuehrer was to come, to see the great Sieg,,, victory. We asked someone what day, and what month it was, and were surprised to learn that it was only the end of June. Yes, it was only one and a half months since the tenth of May. To us it seemed a decade. A few weeks later the schools were again opened, and I was glad to go there. Oh, it is really a pleasure for a boy of nine to sit long afternoons and do homework, instead of fleeing from bombs and shells. You may be sure that from this day on I never missed an assignment. School became to me the dearest place in the world, a place where I could forget all my worries, and spend a few hours with nice, severe teachers, who to me seemed angels.

We had just moved into our new quarters on Oak Street. Everything was topsy-turvy as a home always is when you Hrst move into it. There were trunks, boxes, and suitcases in the middle of the fioor. IVIother's sewing machine was in the corner of the room, and there by the window was father's enormous mahogany desk which stood out among the rest of the furniture. It was a beautiful desk, and it had been in the family for eighty years. This desk had belonged to my grandfather and was considered a family heirloom which would become my brother's possession in time. Father was very fussy about his desk, which is very unusual for a man. He kept all his important papers in this desk. To me, it was nothing but a dust collector, but I never told father. I never went near the desk because it never occurred to me to do so. And, besides, it was kept in the study, a room which I never occupy. Well, that afternoon, mother and I began to get things in order. Mother was busy in the kitchen, and I was trying to settle things in the living room. After sorting linens and silverware for about an hour, I became aware of how tired and exhausted I was. I walked over to the window and sat down by the desk. The top drawer was open. Unconsciously, I began to examine the contents of the desk. There were a few papers, a key chain, pencils, and a pen. Suddenly I spied a photograph! Naturally, I was curious and picked it up and gazed at it. What was this? I had never seen this before. It was a picture of father. Yes! A picture of my father but with a strange woman whom I had never seen before. She had Sixty-eight lovely blond hair. that was long and smooth looking. Her features were small, and her skin was fair. L'nderneath the photograph, in a small handwriting. was written. Wfo John, with all my love, Elizabeth. At that moment my heart sank to my feet, and my stomach turned upside down. I felt like a person who has ridden in an elevator for an hour. Who could this woman bel What were father's relations towards herl Was my home going to be broken up because my father had found someone new! How could he! My mother was such a dear person and did so much for him. Suddenly I heard voices approaching. I got up from the chair, confused, and quickly shut the drawer, leaving the picture on top of the desk. I resumed my position at the table and continued my work. Into the room came mother and father. I looked at my mother with pity, and wondered what trouble we were going to get ourselves into. As for father, well, I looked at him suspiciously. and I felt tears rolling down out of my eyes. Quickly, I ran out of the room and upstairs to my bedroom. I heard father ask mother, What's ailing her now, some new boy friend? It wasnit until after supper that I realized I had left the picture on top of the desk. Had anyone noticed it? lVly heart began to pound like a tom-tom. I managed to go hack to the study and put the photograph back into the desk. As I was about to shut the door, I heard mother and father talking. Father was saying, But what am I going to do, Mary? What will I tell the children? And what about you? Think of your future. So father had told her already and now he was worrying about mother and his children. I heard mother say, 'iOh! Donft worry, John, I'll get along all right. I could manage it.', Oh! Poor mother, how bravely she was taking it! I was about to go into the room and try to comfort mother and tell father what I thought of him, but something held me back. I heard mother say, After all, John, she is your sister. So what if she has been in a sanitarium for ten years? What do you care? She is perfectly healthy now, and no one has to know where she was. I understand that in your position as head of the Grenville Bank, an incident like this would cause gossip. If people talk or ask questions, just tell them that your sister has come from Boston to visit you. They know you have a sister there. As for the children, well. they believe that their Aunt Betty is physically ill. lim sure they,d love to see her! I guess youlre right, Mary, but I think the children are old enough to be told, and the sooner the betterf' replied father. '6Yes, I agree with you. I'll go and call them, answered mother. I stood there behind the door, shocked and amazed. Could it he possible that the young, beautiful girl, Elizabeth, in the photograph, was my aunt? A feeling of relief came over me. Silently I went to my room, and, within a few minutes, I heard mother call me. I went downstairs to the study and father related the whole story to me. I felt my face flush because of my embarrassment. I felt guilty and ashamed that I had jumped to conclusions. Yesterday, my Aunt Elizabeth arrived at our home. She is a very sweet person, and I am very fond of her. Her picture now stands on top of father's mahogany desk. Sixty-nine E fi K I I y :in I HJHSQW 5 .5 lm E fl a'lP'F1'4 ,T E 'S - T , 2?

Your mother gave you just the right amount. These words, or similar ones, are repeated at least thirty times a day, six days a week by the one and only Mr. Goot, my candy store man. To call Mr. Goot a candy store man isn't giving him full credit. He,s a consultant, mechanic, business man, and philosopher, all rolled into one candy store man. From morning till late at night, he witnesses the whims of children, adolescents and adults. When the store opens in the morning, the students come to him for the necessities of school daze,,-pencils, paper, candy and gum. They complain about all the homework of the day before and all the tests they didn't have time to study for. They expect him to know what kind of paper their teacher wants them to buy for compositions, stenography, drawing and bookkeeping. Then, depending on the mood he's in, Mr. Goot will side with either the student or the teacher. Of course, he will do his best to console the ill-treated student. Later in the afternoon, he becomes Mr. Coot, the business man. He must know whether little Judy or Mrs. Graff can buy on credit. He must be tactful with the children coming in, asking for water or a small glass of soda for a penny. Sometimes if he's out of sprinkles and the kids don't want the ice cream, he must be able to convince them that the plain ice cream is just as good. At three o'clock, after school lets out, the store really gets jammed. It is about this time of the day when Mr. Goofs head starts aching, what with screaming children, gossipy mothers and the usual afternoon deliveries. In the evening, the store becomes a hangout. The noise of the crowd and the juke box are enough to deafen him. His store becomes a rather crowded, miniature dance hall with the latest rhumbas, sambas and mambos on exhibition. The juke box doesnit stop for one moment and, if it should lGod forbidj go on the blink, be has to get right to work and try to fix it. He,s usually busy chewing the rag with the older men and women and cracking a joke or two. In serious discussions with both the young and the old, his opinion is sought in matters concerning sports, current events and the future of the atom bomb. To judge from the seriousness with which he is questioned about the latter, youid think he had invented it. In spite of his daily trials and tribulations and many a sleepless night, Mr. Goot loves his business where he comes in contact with all types of persons. To him, his store is another melting pot. Seventy lla Social Wmbrrs By JOAN One night, a couple of nights ago, Renee and me gets all dolled up. This is a matter which takes all day and I gets up late, washes and sets my hair. All morning I sits around resting up for the hectic night ahead-likewise with Renee. Now we are not, you know, fussy dames. No, but when we goes to a party, we decide in advance that nothing, no, nothing will stop us from having a good time. Now Renee's got a beautiful black velvet with a snappy imitation diamond necklace. Sheill carry white long gloves and, of course, sheill wear her best earrings. You see, Renee's kinda superstitious and she says you can never have a good time without earrings. But Iam not to be outdone-I also gets white gloves. I dust off my best black dress fit catches dustj, and fastens my imitation diamond necklace around my throat. Then I am off. Dad looks at me and says I looks old--I kiss him. I am very happy. I will have a good time. Soon we are walking to the shindig held in honor of Teddy's birthday. Finally, after six blocks, we reaches the party. Everythingis in full swing. The music's roaring. The sandwiches are lying on the table waiting for us to sink our teeth into them. The birthday cake is sitting pretty as you please on the living room table. Everything,s just snazzy, but the boys are sittin' at one end of the place and the girls, looking real nice, are sittin, gloomy on the other side. Now this I could understand if her grandmother was in the room but she ain't. Neither is her old man. I looks at Renee. She looks at me. We decide to try to bust this log jam up. Maybe you7re wondering why Renee and me went to all this super-duper fuss for this party. Well, you see, my mom and her mom decided that they didn't like the crowd we hung around with. The boys, they said, were too coarse. They laughed too loud, joked too much and didn't respect ladies. Now us two, we like ,em, but our moms decided that it was time we met some ureal, nice, educated fellas from college . Now these boys were supposed to be the tops and, to beat it all, they came from very good families and also they didnit come from Williamsburg or even Brooklyn. They were A-1 on our moms' approval list. That's how come we were told to behave like ladies and get to know these 'ggentlemenn and stop hangin, around with those young uhoodlumsn we liked so much. So we went to the party where they were. Now we are sitting on one side of the room. We have been introduced to these boys',. It is ten minutes later. We are still sitting on the other side. This has never happened to us in our lives. We are not benchwarmers. I am not comfortable. My feet longs for the beat of the Conga. My feet starts tapping. Nobody moves. The boys are talking about cricket. The girls are talking about haircombs-I am mad. Renee breaks the ice. Gee, she's so clever! She tells a funny joke. A lone laugh fills the room. I thought it was very funny. Now it's my turn. I tries talking to one of the fellas. It,s like pulling teeth and he stammers and turns red all over. I wonder why. Finally, after much work on our part trying to liven up the party, we gives up. They is not for us. One of the boys suggests a game of chess in the game-room. My feet is itching to dance. I do not like chess. After another hour of this, Renee and I gets tired. Two of the fellas ask if they can escort us two ladies home. We go ourselves. I want to talk to Renee. I look in the mirror before we leave. My hair is good. My lipstickis on right. Even my nose doesn't shine.-Oh, well, anyway Renee says it's all because I forgot my earrings-but I comes home, runs up the stairs and gets into bed. Seventy-one That's where I'm now and, ya know, I have decided that. after all. the queers we know are not so had. They ain't up socially. maybe they got no cars. but they got understanding and they know that there is no worse fate in a woman's life than being ignored. In fact, I was downright insulted. Why', I Stood under that mistletoe for len minutes. I het Al would know what to do. WATER Water is everywhere. Water is life. Water is death. Water is a cool, refreshing liquid, Water is a cold, clammy sweat. Water is the element of life itself, Water is the killer nf thousands erery year. Men have fought for water, Men have used water to make other men holy. A drowning man will spit wafer, A thirsty man will crawl on hands and knees for it. Water is everything.

Come here. little boy. and let me tell you about some ol' the enjoyable horrors that will come your way in a few years. What. you say youire only ten years old! Good! Then you must listen to me. Oli course, it would take me hours and hours just to mention some of the things youire going to go through. but since we have only forty minutes to talk in. lill tell you about. and l hope you'll pardon the expression. a Teen-Age Party. l'm going to tell you about something that happened to me two weeks ago come next Faturdav night. One of my friends was telling me about a girl who was going to have a sweet sixteen party on Saturday. He told me that there would hc a lot ol' liood. she had a big television set. a big house. her parents wouldnit be home. and that she believed in cutting the electric hill when the party got hwarmed upf' lt sounded. well. you can imagine how it sounded. The only thing he forgot to mention was that she was his steady girl friend and that she didnit know ol' any boys to invite so he was inviting the boys. Oh well. just a minor detail! Come six P.lVl. Saturday and l was getting on my best suit. Not only that. but l was even going to the extreme pains of combing my hair. washing my face. washing behind the ears, polishing my shoes and gargling with some nice-smelling stuff. Boy! l was willing to do anything to get to that ideal', party and meet all those 'tidealq girls that would probably he there. Hal At 8:30 P.lVl. my friends. Sam Grossman and Irving Schmetterling, came to my house. After one short glance. l saw that they had gone through the same pains that I had. At 9:00 P.M. we were standing in front of the door of the house. lfunny. it didnit look like it could be too big inside, but we told each other that looks are deceiving and we went right ahead and knocked on the door. YOWI Franken- stein's kid sister opened the door. 'tOhhh,', she whined, 'ithe boys are here. Come in! Come in! We walked into a room as large as the bathroom of a quonset hut. On the table in the dining room were 6 pretzels. 3 potato chips and half a glass of seltzer. The radio was going full blast. When we asked jokingly about a tele- vision set. she told us about her neighbors Her parents came up to us and started discussing the problem of the Hydrogen llomb with us. On the couch built for three and the three stools that were in the room were sitting seven ghastly ghouls of the female gender grinning like . . . like ghouls. The room was a mass of giggling gargoyles. Need l say more? Serenty-three . . ,. ., fr. ' 'i - mm. r . - . V- -,'-'.'V.'- ,'.' V - . gg. Q , ' 1' E'fj5 ': 'tl ' '1 ,! .- ' ' - ,Vi-.ix .

Mrs. Milhaumis hair was falling in front of her face and she was perspiring. She was standing over the stove with a dish towel in her hand, examining the turkey which she was basting. Mr. Milbaum was bent over the grinder with tears running down his cheeks. He was grinding the horse radishes for the sauce. In the bedroom next to the kitchen, Rhoda was sleeping. It was eleven oiclock, and she would probably be getting up soon. In the other bedroom, Abie was sleeping in one of the twin beds. The other was empty as Moishie had slept over at his girl friend Cladys's house. The reason for all this disorder was that the family was coming to dinner. They were coming especially to meet Gladys's mother, the umachetainistef' Soon, Rhoda woke up, took up her clothes and went into the bathroom to get washed and dressed. She wasn't feeling very happy that day. For some reason, unknown even to herself, she didnit like her aunts, uncles, and cousins. She didnit want to talk to them. She knew that when they came, she would have to go around to each one of them, including Baba, and kiss them. If she didnit, her mother would be angry. L'You have to kiss them or it isn't nice,'7 she had said. At the thought of the loud, wet, smacking kisses, a feeling of great disgust came over her, and for the moment, she felt dizzy with anger. She resolved then and there that she wouldn,t kiss any of them except Baba. Baba was old and sick, and she might think that Rhoda didnit love her or care about her if she didn't show some sign of affection toward her. Abie got along very well with the family. He would kibbitz with them, and they would kibbitz back and everything was very fine. Rhoda couldn't do that no matter how hard she tried. Seventy-four She came out of the bathroom, and, without thinking, put on the radio. The jazz jumped out at her, and she quickly turned to another station with some softer music. Humming along with the tune being played, she applied her makeup. Then she took her coat off the chair and said that she was going for a walk. MWhat do you mean, a walk?'7 her mother cried. 'GThere's so much work to do, and you're going for a walk! What kind of work? she replied. HI don't see anything to do. A'Nothing to do! Mrs. Milbaum screamed back. 6'Listen to her! Nothing to dol What do you think I'm doing, playing? You could set the table, sweep the floor, dust around the furniture, make the beds, wake up Abie, and youill find something to do. All right, she sighed. 6'I'll do itf, She put her coat down on the chair again, swept the floor and bumped against the table, knocking off a glass and breaking it. Her mother began to yell and call her clumsy. While her mother kept talking more to herself than to anyone else, Rhoda took a rag and began dusting the furniture. Why can't I cheer up and smile? When the family comes, I won't be such a mope. Why doesn't my mother stop talking? She never stops. lid like to live by myself. Well, maybe not by myself. With a roommate. But at least there wouldnit be any mother around to yell and curse and nag at me. The bell rang loudly, and she jumped at the sudden noise. It was her cousin Tessie with the baby, Kenny. My God! Even the baby frightens me. I can't play with it and coo at it. He'll probably think I'm a fool. With Tessie there, things began to move faster, and soon everything was done. Her father and mother got washed and dressed, and still the family hadn't come and neither had Moishie, Gladys, nor her mother. Abie walked into the kitchen and began to complain when he saw that there was no place for him to wash himself because there were still some pots in the sink. USO go in the bathroom, said Mrs. Milbaum angrily. You do so much, you could complain? uAah! he answered disgustedly and walked out. About two o,clock, all the relatives began to arrive. Everybody was kissing and hugging and looking very happy at seeing each other, Rhoda stood at the side, holding the baby. Some of them noticed Rhoda and said, '4Hello, how are you? 6'I,m fine, she replied. And you? But they didn't answer. They were too busy laughing with everyone else and playing with the baby. Then someone took the baby from Rhoda, and she stood there, feeling very lost and thinking to herself, '4Well, anyway, they didn't come over to be kissed. Her throat began to feel tight, and tears were forming in her eyes. She wanted very much to be alone. She walked into the other rooms but there were people in all of them. She tried the bathroom door, but it was locked. There was no place to go. The tears began to roll down her cheeks, and she couldnit stop them. What's the matter ? a faintly familiar voice asked. L'Oh, I have a terrific cold, she said. g'Can,t seem to get rid of it.', I wish they would all go home, she sobbed to herself. I wish they would all go home.

Why, just today he had applied for a job, and what do you think they told him? '4We'll look over your application and we'll let you knowf, Sure they'd let him know. Let him know that he'd not been hired, that's what. Pete threw himself on his bed. What was he to do? He didn't have many of the qualifications he had always wanted. What was that they had asked? '6What previous experience have you had in this Held?,' Well, not much, he'd grant you, but then whose fault was it if he couldn't speak English well enough to get a job? Was it his fault that his parents were foreigners? Didn't he always try to get his mother to stop talking Spanish to him? Anyhow, he hadnit learned her lingo, he was glad to say. He ate his supper quietly, then went to bed. He was sure he wouldn't get that job. But just the same the next morning he ran to the mailbox. His anger grew as he read the Hrst line. 4'We are sorry to say that you aren't the person we were looking for. After reading this, he threw it down. As it fell to the floor, he noticed the word, g'Spanish. Quickly grabbing the paper, he read, We needed some one who had some knowledge of the Spanish language. Seventy-six Ji Cdfalf Gentury of Glulas lfasternis auditorium was crowded. There were standees in the orchestra and the balcony.. All through the evening those guarding the doors struggled to keep out disappointed latecomers who tried intermittently to storm their way in. The audience was quiet and tense as the student speaker raised both arms in a spread-eagle gesture and. in deliberate. dramatic tones. his voice dripping with hitter sarcasm, said, iiTllllS we have a vicious circle. ladies and gentlemen. We of the affirmative insist. therefore. that the Philippines he granted their independence. Thank you. He bowed slightly, and. as he walked toward the table at the left of the stage and took his seat next to the other members ol' his debating team. the applause that broke out was deafening. A distinguished looking gentleman in evening clothes walked up the steps at the side of the stage. Programs rustled as the audience read his name and the college where he taught. Then, in the hush that spread through the hall. the judge said. Wlionightis debate has been won bv Eastern District High Sehoolfi Pande- monium broke loose, but of a dignified variety. Eastern Districtis Debating Society had just concluded a triumphant season and had captured the championship ol' the Brooklyn interscholastic Debating League. Occasions like the ahovc were frequent in the early history ol' our school. The excitement was equally intense at the Semi-Annual Declamation Contests. where embryo actors recited classic dramatic poems and won coveted gold-plated medals. Without the distractions ol' radio or television and with a strictly controlled diet of motion pictures. Easternites could concentrate more easily on purely intel- lectual pursuits. Students. less sophisticated than we are today. and living in a less hectic atmosphere without atomic or hydrogen homhs or supersonic jet planes or hot rods or bebop. found debates and oratorical contest-1 exciting events during the school year. They could. for example. try out for either the Carrick Dramatic Society or the Eastern District Dramatic Society. This was a really grueling experience. Before a highly critical audience of student and faculty judges. the aspiring and perspiring Thespian controlled his shaking knees as well as he could and proceeded to 'gshow his stullifi which he had been preparing for months. ll' he passed this ordeal he had something he could boast of for many years. because only Dernhardts and Darry- rnores could possibly make the grade. The Dramatic Society. you see. had a proud tradition harking hack to 1903. when their first performance was given in the school's old building at South 3rd Street and Driggs Avenue. But Eastern did not neglect quieter and W less showy pursuits. Neophyte poets. like Joseph Ausiander. and fledgling novelists. like Daniel Fuchs. author of Summer in WiiIIiI1lllS1lllfg, found opportunities to dis- play their talents in the pages of Th.- lhzisy, a monthly magazine devoted to the publication of short stories. poems. car- toons and news reports of all school ac- tivities. The Daisy drew much of its material from the members of the Webster Literary Society. which ran contests to en- Delmating 'lieam-V 1925 Nl. Finkelstein, S. Fine, B. Mandelker, .l. Ginsmerg, sy Pi.

The Daisy gave way finally to two publications which took over its work: the school newspaper, the Gola' and White, and the Eastern, a com- bination literary magazine and senior book. The queen of all the arts did not lack her devotees either. The school orchestra was founded in 1911. The Chorus, already started in 1908, had begun as an exclu- sively male organization, but later relented and allowed females to join in the prac- tice of their high art. These two groups have continued to function to the present day. Williamsburg is noted for its hetero- geneous language groups and naturally this was reflected in the various languages taught at the school and the related clubs that sprang from those studies. Eastern has Daisy Staff-1912 Top row: Miss Cohen, Mr. Fischer, Miss Graesser, Mr. Meyer, Miss Zinman. Middle row: Mr. Maltinsky, Miss Drake, Mr. Jeffe, Miss Bohner, Mr. Kane. Bottom row: Mr. Fidler, Mr. Auslander, Mr. Sahlman, Mr. Levey. fstudents were never called by their first names in those days. The Mr, and Miss were customaryzi had French, Spanish, German, Latin, Greek and Hebrew Clubs and has published various language newspapers. Times have changed and the study of Greek, Latin and German has disappeared. Two other clubs that have disappeared are the Terpsi- chorean Club fDance Club to usl and the Flower Club, devoted to the task of bringing culture and beauty to Eastern. Science received its share of attention, too. Chemistry, Medicine, Photography, Mathematics have all had enthusiastic supporters who devoted extra-curricular time to their special fields of interest. At one period of Eastern's history, future Einsteins cut their mathematical eye teeth in the competitions sponsored by the Interscholastic Algebra League. The intellectual elite of the school have had their organization, too, of course. The Hrst Arista installation took place in 1910 and the requirements for admission were such that only twelve students were found who were judged worthy of that high honor. Arista is no longer that exclusive, but it still contains the cream of the scholastic crop. Responsible for the supervision and encouragement of all scholastic and sports activities fwhich have a separate article elsewhere in this magazinej is the General Organization, which was organized in 1902. Each class sent delegates to a general governing body which elected the officers and financial committees. Officers were nominated every term but they were not elected by the students at large. The general Congress fulfilled that function. As you can imagine, an election did not cause the kind of excitement it does today. Since that time, the G.O. has steadily passed from the control of the few to that of the whole student body. Eastern, too, has grown more democratic with the times.

This is shown by the many P.S.A.L. sports that we have participated in from time to time. We have been represented by a baseball team, basketball team, track team, rille team, soccer team, fencing team, tennis team, handball team, and a swimming team. Our girls have also played a big part in Easternis sports program. They have won fame in basketball and have had a Swimming Club and Tennis Club. They have been very active in baseball and track. Eastern had an all boysn cheering squad until 1931 when girls began to go out for the squad. ln recent years the girls have completely dominated the sport and have been doing rather well at it. Many, many years ago ftoo far back for any present-day students to rememberj, Eastern used to have annual field days. These days were looked forward to by the entire school as almost everyone was an actual participant in the games. P.S.A.L. rules governed at these games. For the boys there were baseball games, sack races, Girls' Basketball Team Dancing Club-1915 Note the middies, dark bloomers, and black stockings. flflflyn Daily Eagle, 19101 class races, broad jumping, high jumping, shot putting, dashes from 50 to 70 yards, tennis games, handball matches and rifle events. The girl usually enjoyed themselves in baseball games, short races, tennis matches, volley ball, flag relays, and dancing. All had a great time at the Held days, including the Faculty. They used to compete against the students in baseball, basketball and track. In 1912 the senior class boys' relay team beat the Faculty in a hard-fought race. This reporter has not been able to find out whether those seniors who ran in the race were ever graduated. In 1924 Eastern had its 15th field day at Curtis Field. The date was June 25, right after regents week. Entry fees were 10 cents a person and 40 cents for a four Eighty-two Girls' Tennis Team 1910 fB'klyn Daily Eaglel iThe curtain behind the girls was used to divide the gymnasium into halves -one for the boys and one for the gir1s.B man relay team. The money was used to pay for the medals and E pins which were given to the winning individuals and winning teams. The Daisy, the school magazine before the Eastern, contributed a cup to the outstanding athletic class in the school. The first class to win the cup was class 3A in 1911. The record of Eastern's fairer sex in basketball has been truly amazing. In 1904- they practiced and played their games at the 4-9th Armory. That very same year they were the proud possessors of a large cup awarded to the winners of the Girls' Metropolitan lnterschoiastic Basketball competition. They placed second two other years and were always among the top teams. ,lust for the record, the names of the girls who took that championship were Emma Babenyien, lVlathilda Wohl, Irene Ross, Hazel Bishop, and Florence W'est. Note to their grandchildren, L'Your grand- mother wasnit the 'old fogy' you thought she wasf' In 1924 the girls were really athletic-minded. They organized their first Tennis Club and Athletic Club. The Tennis Club would practice in lVIcCarren Park. Going back a bit to 1912, we find a girls' swimming club being organized. The club met at the Eastern District Y.W.C.A. to practice. Chevrons were given to girls ,fl Swimming Group--1913 1 They wore bathing suits at the Pool-which was at President Street and Fourth Avenue. P ,. .- .. . .-.., .,,.. v Y, Eighty-three with regular attendance. Red Cross buttons and P.S.A.L. pins were given to students who passed specified tests. So much for the girls. Now, letis talk talk about the male segment of our school. When sports are mentioned in Eastern District, one immediately thinks of bas- ketball. Down through the years, basketball has been the number one sport in Eastern. Not necessarily for the honors it has brought to the school, but mainly because of the nature of the sport which allows it to be played all year 'round by all. Basketball has been played here at Eastern longer than any other sport, and that includes baseball and fencing. In 1908 our baby basketball team had a fairly successful season and they began to put top-notch teams on their schedules. In 1912 our basketeers had their most successful season up to that time. They came in third against tough P.S.A.L. competition. In 1918 we hit our peak in basketball. We won the Boro title and were runner- ups for the City title. We have never had the pleasure of winning the City title. We were terrors to everyone but Commerce in the league that year. Commerce at that time had the present basketball coach of C.C.N.Y., Nat Holman, on their team. We never beat Commerce while Nat Holman played with them. However, in 1919, after Nat Holmanis graduation, we beat them by the overwhelming score, 26-18. I wonder what would have happened to us if Holman had never graduated. Two other teams that used to give us a lot of trouble were Bushwick and Boys High Schools. Erasmus was practically the only team that we were able to beat regularly. We scored 274 points to their 263 points up to 1919. Stuyvesant led us 189-150 while Commerce had a slight 114-4-1351 9 point lead over us in the P.S.A.L. basketball games up to 1919. Scores were very low at that time. Some of the scores of that period were E.D. 12, N.Y. Dental College 8, Commercial 14, E.D. 6. That's a far cry from todayis scores which run into the nineties and sometimes hit one hundred. In 1928 with Dr. Sprague, the present administrative assistant of our school, coaching the basketball team, we had a fairly successful season, winning five out of eleven. In 1931 our basketball team had a tremendously sensational season. They finished the season in a ablaze of gloryf' as the old Daisy reported it, by downing Bushwick High School 23-21. That was the 13th game of the season. They lost their first 12 games. Oh, well, it could have been worse. Our baseball team has been an on and off team throughout our history. Some years we had one, most years we didn't. Before I tell you about the baseball team, I'd like to tell you about the birth and death of a team in Eastern. Weill use the baseball team as an example. The students get excited. What kind of a school is this when it doesn't even have a baseball team?'i they ask. They rant. They rave. Editorials are written in the Cold and White. Petitions are sent all over the school. Every kid and his uncle signs it at least twice apiece. The petitions and pleas are then gathered up and brought before the principal. The principal says, Nlf the students of Eastern want a baseball team. they can have onef' A faculty adviser is chosen. He issues a call for players. Out of a male student body of 700, 500 show up. Thatis great. The team is chosen. The first season, everyone cheers them on. Everythingis going fine. The next baseball season comes. This time only 200 show up to try out for the Eighty-four team. We're still going line. The school is still supporting the team. .lround about mid-season, we see fewer and fewer people coming to watch the games. Next season comes along. Again a call for candidates. The first day, 100 kids show up. By the third day, the coach is shocked if he sees 20 boys out on the field. He manages to get a fairly respectable team out 011 the field. Then the G.O. starts selling tickets. The team loses a few games. Ticket sales lag. A plan is announced by which a student buying a season ticket gets to see a Brooklyn Dodger game free. 500 tickets are sold. 500 students attend the Dodger game, not more than 20 show up for Easternis games. Thatis the beginning of the end. The sport drags on for a while, finally it's dropped. On its tombstone are written these words, g'Born from 3 to 7 years before death. Death caused by these words, spoken by one student to another, 'Whatl Me pay 50 cents to see that crumby team play? What do they think 1 am? A dope?' ii Two years after the end of the baseball season, these words are heard in Easternis halls. HSay, Joe, don't you think it's about time we had a track team in this school? You know the rest. That has been the story of baseball in our school. ltis tragic. but true. We had teams before 1918, but not much is known about them. ln 1918 it began to stick for a while. It wasn't too successful then. In our first game of the 1918 season, Bushwick High School beat us 10-0. We had the dubious honor of making 10 errors. In our next game we did much better. We lost a tough 2-0 game to C.C.N.Y. fresh- men. fn seven years we won only seven games. 1 guess that was the seven years of hunger for Eastern. ln those seven years, Commercial beat us seven times, Erasmus six times, Bushwick three times, and Boys High twice. Our seven victories came at the expense of St. ,lohn tll, St. Francis 121, Manual l2l, Adelphi 111, and Poly ill. Three years ago a new baseball team was organized with Mr. Lebowitz, a former basketball coach, as its head. This year Mr. Mazer has taken charge of the team. Mr. Mazer played semi-pro baseball as a catcher a while back. The team should do well under him. Our handball team was organized in 1905 and it enjoyed tremendous popularity for a few years. In 1905 we took first place in the Metropolitan HS. League. and we were given a cup for this feat. The sport died out after a while but it was revived in the mid-twenties and it became a sensation over night. lt really caught on. We entered P.S.A.L. ball in 1926. In 1928 and 1929 we rose to our greatest heights in handball. We placed second both these years behind a top-notch Madison High School team which had a member of the doubles championship of the U.S. on their team. About 1910 we had a tennis team which made their debut in P.S.A.L. tennis matches by losing a close match to Boys High School. The team didn't have too much success and it was dropped after a while. In 1931 we had a soccer team which, guided by the able hand of Mr. Pincus. brought credit to the school in their Hrst year of P.S.A.L. ball. They won three of the five games they played in. However, this f'fad lasted but a few years and after a while the team was dissolved. We had a swimming team in the 1930's. However, because of the difficulty in getting a place to practice, the team didn't last too long. Now we come to the three teams which have brought the most medals, trophies, cups, and titles to our school. They are the Track, Rifle. and Fencing Teams. Track first came into prominence in our school in 1909 when the Freshmen Eighty-fire Relay Team won the 14th Regimental Armory Cup for placing first in a meet there. That very same year we won an interscholastic cup at the Harlem YMCA. Both cups are on display in Dr. Sprague's ofhce. In 1915 the track team was given track uniforms and slippers, as track shoes were called in those days, by the school. In 1931 our track team really hit its stride. In the Columbia Meet, in which more than five states were represented, Eastern District got four points and placed 10th out of a field of 35. In two dual meets that year we had tough luck in losing both by very close scores. Seward Park High School beat us 39-34 and Boys High School beat us 42-39. In the Boys High Meet we took first in 6 of the 9 events but we didn't have enough seconds and thirds to win. Bernard Goffen, in winning the 220 yard dash for us, ran it in 22 seconds. That was 2f10 of a second more than the City record of 21.3. The only team to better the achievements of the 1931 team is the team we've had these last two years. They've been real good. Two years ago they placed among the top five in a field of 150. At the Manual Meet our boys placed second and in the Stuyvesant Meet we had one boy place second in the 100 yard dash and another third in the 220 yard dash. Our relay team usually places first in the heats and second in the finals. That's a pretty good record for any team. Our Rifle Team has more than held its own in P.S..X.L. competition. The Win- gate trophy, symbol of a great riHe team, was in our halls for years. About the time of the first World War, Eastern competed in the Sportsman Show in Madison Square Garden. After the smoke from our hot rifles had cleared away, we were able to go home with no fewer than nine rifle medals. That's real sharpshooting for a high school team against tough competition. In 1919 we ran neck and neck with Evander Childs for the city title. Both teams won 7 out of 8. Our favorite Hwhipping boysw were Flushing, Richmond Hill, and New Utrecht. Our last rifle team was dissolved in 1941. The rifles were given to the U.S. Army. Our fencing team was organized in 1930 with Mr. Olvin as faculty adviser. Its fancy name was '6La Salle dlArmes Orientalef' which in plain English means the Eastern Fencing Club. There was a girls' group under Miss Langsam and Miss Milchman, but it didn't last too long. The sport went along, growing in popularity, until 1935 when all high school fencing in New York City was discontinued by the Board of Education. ln 1937 the ban was lifted and Eastern immediately reorganized the fencing team. Fencing grew in popularity until, in the early 1940's, it was made into a major sport. The fencing team began to win city-wide recognition in 1946 when it took second place in the Interscholastic Fencing Tournament held at N.Y.U. Eastern jumped to the top of the high school fencing world when it won the Castello Trophy in 1947, 1948, and 1949. That marked the first time that any high school team ever won the tournament three years straight. In 1948 and 1949 the boys also took two P.S.A.L. championships. That brings us right up to the present. This reporter's vote for the most versatile athlete who ever played for Eastern is Larry Cenamo. This boy not only was a member of the Rifle, Swimming, Tumbling and Wrestling Teams, but he CAPTAINED all of these teams. That's a record few can match, if any at all. Eighty-six My vote for the most versatile coach in our school is '6Doc Rubin. lVlr. Rubin, in his seventeen years in Eastern, has coached the wrestling team, rifie team, gym- nastics club, track team, and cheering squad. He had the wrestling team about 15 years ago but he gave it up when one of the wrestlers broke his rib. He had the gymnastics club about 10 years ago but he gave that up when he broke his knee. He had the rifle team for a while but he gave that up in 1941 when a bullet richocheted off a wall onto the ceiling and hit him in the shoulder. About 10 years ago Mr. Pincus asked him to watch the cheering squad for five minutes. He ended up by being their faculty adviser for Hve years. That's our Doc Rubin. Eastern District has had many athletes who went to college and achieved athletic fame there. Some of these athletic heroes of Eastern are: Dr. Sprague, who was an outstanding track star in his high school days here at Eastern. He then went to C.C.N.Y. where he played basketball and baseball. He came back to Eastern, coached our basketball team from 1926 to 1929, and is now administrative assistant of our school. David Shapiro, who was a member of our swimming team and was on a cham- pion intergrade basketball team. He went on to George Washington University and starred on their basketball team. He ranked 80th out of 407 in his gradu- ation class which is a further proof of the falsity of the belief that all athletes are dumb. Mac Reiskind, class of '25, who was elected captain of C.C.N.Y.'s La Crosse Team. Nat Erdheim, class of '31, who played on L.I.U.'s baseball, basketball, football, handball, and track teams. Wow! Shep Shapiro, class of '29, played basketball and football for L.I.U. Serge Grynkwich, class of '29, after starring in basketball here, went on to win fame in baseball, basketball, and football at Lafayette College. Sam Harris, class of '27, who made the L.I.U. varsity in his freshman year. Julius Strauss, star of our 1931 basketball team, was offered a scholarship by the University of Villanova for his athletic ability. In more recent years we find the fencing team sending many boys to Brooklyn and City College to win fame in fencing there. Some of the boys who went to Brooklyn College in the last six years and have starred on their fencing teams are: Sheldon Dyer, Gil Wortman, Al Schnell, Arthur Spingarn, Elliot Miller, Marty and Herby Buchalter, and Stanley Wostokski. Some former Easternites who are now starring with City College's fencing team are: Francois Kramer, Ira Coldenberg, Sol Hollander, and Frank Billadello.

Other members of the varsity are Francis Cinque and Thelma Kleinberg. Dorothy Zack, Annette Barnes. and Isalogne Kearse are on the junior varsity. It is hoped that when the next basketball season comes around there will be an addition of male voices to blend in with those of the girls. Sam Grossman Kuggcd Kunucrs X Under the guidance of Coach 6'Doc Rubin. the trackmen gave impressive showings in most of the track meets in which they participated. Even with the loss of lien Harris, who graduated last January and Fleming Dale. who transferred to another school, Eastern District's track team was still a dangerous contender. 'B ' 'S' .1 In the Manual Relay Meet, Joe Solazzo sparked the track team to victory. Eastern also finished third in the Manual Training indoor finals.

Sum Grossman CHEERING SQUAD TRACK TEAM Waslzilrg Qails Eastern District's. foilsmen, winning their last four P.S.A.L. bouts. completed a highly successful season by tying Forest Hills for second place. Led by Captain val,-n Ben Kramer, Vincent La Cana, Larry Schneider and Harold Clatter, the boys A' i piled a five won, one lost, and one tied record. Kramer led the team with a 12 won. 2 lost slate. Close behind him came Vincent La Cana and Larry Schneider with 11 wins in 14- bouts. Clatter filled up the top notch quartet with a 7 won, 5 lost record. Arbelvia Kea, Stanley Bialick, Arnold Zelkowitz and Charlie Sommers chipped in with some very timely victories for the team. These four boys, with Raoul Felder, lVIurray Tornopsky, Alfred Mundola and Larry Naddleman, will form the nucleus of next year's P.S.A.L. team. In post season tournaments, Ben Kramer took the 1950 P.S.A.L. form championships. Glatter, Kramer, La Cana and Schneider all reached the semi- finals in the Individual Foil Championships before they were eliminated. Kramer and Schneider finished seventh and eighth, respectively, in this tournament. Larry SC,1llt'id!'f ifaffling Haskeleers The McCormack men finished the 1950 P.S.A.L, basketball season in fifth place, a notable achievement in the strong division we were in. Our record of 4 wins and 9 defeats doesnit look too good, but when you examine it, you see a 1 point heartbreaker lost to Automotive in overtime and 2 losses to Boys High by the narrow margins of 3 and 4 points. The basketeers showed their true form by beating George Westinghouse and Alexander Hamilton High Schools twice each. The biggest loss of the year for the Basketball team will come from that old bugaboo of high school athletic teams, graduation. Gone will be ,lack Leiman, Charlie and Murray Rosen, Harris Mintz and Lou Schwartz. Left to carry on for Eastern next year will be Harvey Burack. ,lohnny Zekas, Harvey Bien and Sidney Cohen. These four boys, coupled with the eleven or so new men that Mr. McCor y mack hopes to get on the team, will make a fine array of hard playing baske for Eastern next year.
