OUR TEACHERS BEQUEATH TO US: MR. FIICHS: That, item, maelstrom on the fourth floor, That, item, home of error and confusion, the home of the daily Ragus. Item: four copies, bound in gold and vellum, of that classic April Fool '42 issue, which brought a new low to journalism. MR. KUSSIN: I leave you: faJ a pair of curtains that the Blue Party has been trying to hang for over a year, tbl a worn out Commissioner of Elections that the New Deal Party has been trying to hang for one year, fel one miserable Fuehrer, that every- body would like to hang. DR. BERNHARD: I leave. MRS. GRAHAM: I bequeath all the great poems that were never written in the English offices all the plays that were never produced: all the speeches that were never made, and all the thoughts that were never uttered to the graduates. MR. RASKIN: To the graduates, I leave memories of groans, grunts, aches and sweat spent in the pursuit of the body beautiful . . . and the hope that your children will live to see come to life our commando Held, our first football tea1n, and a swimming pool. MR. I. LEVINE: Reflecting upon my S.S. 5 honor class, I am reminded of the tale Voltaire tells of the man who, falling from the top of a steeple, and finding the air soft, said, Good, provided it lasts. I could be that man. I leave you with that thought. MRS. TOUSTER: What more can we leave you? Haven't you drained us dry already? MISS MULLINS: We leave you all the unsolved problems of sci- ence to be obtained through research, and we envy you the oppor- tunity to solve them. DR. ROSS: I leave my good will, and that's saying a whole lot, because there is more in it than the spoken words it means wishes for success and happiness in the future. MRS. A. S. COHN: To the Seniors I bequeath my secret file of plans: How to win your gal in the springtime. How to gain control of your family budget. And how to become presidential timber and run for a tenth term. MAXINE LEVIN 21

I 22 MAN DOTH NCT LIVE BY ALONElDeuteronomy VIII. 31 The O.P.A. has had its say, On everything in sight, That last year's shoe will have to do, Although it is too tight: Your walking suit can be tres zoot, When all the world's all right. Your ev'ning tea will have to be Less sweet than otherwiseg Coffee? yes, you'll drink much less, At night you'll close your eyes: Autos too are all too few, A bicycle's a prize. Gasoline and kerosene Are included in the ration, Until our goal is reached, more coal Is out for the duration, 'Cause fuel, for one helps shoot the gun, That's gonna save the nation. Clothing now, you'd better vow, To keep in good condition, Lapels are cut, you worry, but, Pity the poor magician, But our boys then, will be well-dressed men, When they pass the ammunition. We feel the pinch, but it's a cinch, Our soldiers aren't playing: Those guys and gobs have real tough jobs, In Iceland they're not sleighin'g Give your all, 'cause after all, For Victory we're prayin'. So start today, get in the fray With bonds and stamps, the American Way! ARTHUR STOLIAR
