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.
