The curriculum, no sooner described than respected, has proved itself the working outline for a rounded body of lcnowledge, and also a formula e of vigorous potentialities of both ordinary and for the releas gifted young men and women. But the democratic ideal has always been more easily com- mended than conceived. America repeated that ideal almost into a truism, so that it disintegrated into unmeaningnessfthat eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, that democracy's road is ever before it. The glitter of victory in the first great war smothered its democratic incentive, and self-satisfaction made ' ' from an accumulating storm, which us turn unwilling ears away homes on December 7. brolce in Europe, and swirled into our And then we saw what our parents saw, but too quickly forgot: that a democratic America, a more capable, better-informed people cannot exist without a happier world, and that the first cruel process toward this end was the crucible of war.

It was on April 6 that the Board of Higher Education gave Queens County's 1,300,000 citizens their only center of higher learning. And it was on May 25 that Paul Klapper was named President of Queens College, and told the city fathers that this youngest of the municipal colleges was founded on the belief that education is not for the elite, the chosen few students with money to spare. Queens Collegef' he told its community, was not just another college whose sole end was to turn out robot-like products of several well-selected instructors and textbooks. It is fundamentally a college of liberal arts Whose primary and immediate purpose is to serve youth. But youth can best be served by a college which enters fully and helpfully into the life of its community. Based on the- firm conviction that Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen -Everyman -wants to knows about the world that surrounds him, Queens College was still' quite Wet behind its ears when it opened its two-barreled campaign to become the pivotal point of Queensboro's cultural life. ' Weekly forums on politics and literature, psychological Warfare and movies, city planning and the stage, conferences of price control and health, radio broadcasts on democracy and Axis education, a speech clinic for boys of 6 and girls of 60, concerts, recitals, oratorios . . . these fulfilled the pledge made in 1937 by President Paul Klapper that- Queens will be a peop1e's college.

Second, they are laying the groundwork for their futures as special- ists in a chosen technological field. That, in the long view they are fitting themselves for meaningful citizenship in a democracy. Contemporary civilization, required courses in literature and the arts, in math, science, and health education may seem to have little to do with a working democracy. juniors and sophomores plagued with the necessity of filling out concentration blanks see no connection be- tween modern technological society and those blanksg and perhaps on the surface there is no connection between technology and concentra- tion, between required courses and democracy. But the fundamental plan of Queens College goes deeper than the surface. The founders turned educational architects and drew up the blueprints of their scholastic edifice before attempting to build an institution which would fulfill the omnipresent need for specialized skills, and broad under- standing of social problems in a democracy. Specifically, the Queens College curriculum with its tri-part plan provides first for given required courses, designed to sketch in the be- fore-mentioned background, provides second for intensive work in a field of concentration, and third for credits in grouped electives in other chosen fields. These are the blueprints for democracy. This is the plan by which some two thousand students are fitting themselves for the social, and individual problems they will meet in the times ahead. But plans are always cold things. In the execution hinges that spirit, that atmosphere, which is crucial to the goal Queens College has set itself. And here too one finds the emphasis and re-emphasis upon prin- ciplesithat guide 'a free people. The advisory system whereby teachers are made available for personal discussion of the individual problems of students, the accent upon service to the community at large that leads to the city internships, the children's speech clinic, the institute meetings and radio programs, the stress upon individual student work resulting in seminar courses, and independent research are as much a part of the Queens College blueprints for democracy as those frighten- ing credit requirements neatly listed in the college bulletin. TEA-TIME Every other Thursday finds the Social Science Seminar storming over its collective tea cup, when more often than not the traditionally dispassionate, academic atmosphere is rent by cries of students in the throes of intellectual birth pangs. A faculty committee drawn from each department of the Division of Social Sci- ences, and a small group of specially selected students enter lustily into these informal dis- cussions that call forth the utmost in free speech and independent thought. The seminar constitutes a very real recognition of the role the social sciences play in a democratic state. Aiming at the training of minds in techniques of analysis and interpretation, the seminar takes as its area of investigation problems common to all the disciplines repre- sented 3 problems upon whose solution hinges the fate of the democratic ideal. In times of crisis especially the job of the social scientist assumes a new importance, for his job is to keep democracy a dynamic thing by constructive criticism based on scientific research. His job is to refuse to allow his research to be colored by cultural biases. His job, if not to settlerthe issues of contemporary civilization, is at least to show what the issues are, and what the alternatives may be. Answers are not the goal of inquiry, but rather a clear comprehen- sion of questions. And perhaps this, too, is an essential characteristic of democratic education, that the ideal be always two jumps ahead. I2 , l Bryant High School students who whistle at that pretty student teacher from Queens College, South Jamaica grammar school students tolerantly amused by the seemingly strange antics of the green young teacher who take over their classes, speech defectives made suddenly aware of their alveolar ridges and glottal stops, all serve as unwitting guinea pigs for Queens College teaching aspirants. But there is no real danger in this service. In fact in many cases the unwitting guinea pigs find themselves influenced to the good by the educational experi- ments of the eager young men and women trying their hands at putting educational theory into practice. For the Department of Education of Queens College has exercised strict care in teaching the college stu- dent who would make teaching his career how to make classes interesting and Well organized, and, especially in the case of speech and mental de- fectives, how to put a pupil in the proper psychological frame of mind for learning. It is the aim of democratic education to provide to every citizen the training that makes for equality of oppor- tunity. In turning out skilled teachers, well aware of progress in the field of education, in giving underprivileged children the chance to correct speech defects that might hinder their future success through the Speech Clinic, in making educational theories workable, Queens College is laying the groundwork for the future accomplishment of that great aim. Practice teaching is but one of the means toward that end. I3 . e . ' if 2 . is il t 3 i i si. it il, .it li ti ,,. l gl ,L E. Dear Friends of June 1942, There is a poignancy in the motto of our seal, Discimus ut S6TUl4ll7l'L1,lS, that was not anticipated at the time of its adoption. YVC were to learn that we might serve our fellow men in peace and by serving faithfully make the tragedy of war increasingly remote. But today we must prepare to serve in war and in peace. Each week, students and teachers join our armed forces. Others prepare for civilian defense. Each of us identifies himself with the great war effort. Our day by day teaching takes its color from the need of the hour. lf our conception of dignity of human life is to prevail, then we IUUSK prepare not only for a quickened victory, but also for the inevitable peace in a democratic society. Queens College, like her sister colleges, must continue to be the sanctuary for emerging ideas. Your generation is asked to pay an overwhelming price to preserve the democratic process. But yours will be the high reward. For you shall see the liberation of all peoples through the enrichment of the democratic ideal. Faithfully yours, PAUL KLAPPER I4 Dean arqaret V. liiel Dean Margaret V. Kiely . . . our woman of this or any other year. As Dean she has done far more than her job of supervising student activities and affairs. During the past term Miss Kiely has made an effort, in spite of an already full program, to attend every student function on the campus. And this includes the First Aid classes initiated into the curriculum as a part of the defense program. She likes the students, knows many of them personally, interests herself in their out of school, as well as in school problems. Her valuable service to youth has been recognized off the campus as Well as on. Her influence has always been on the side of honesty, courage, tolerance, and understanding, on the side of conscientious and responsible Work, on the side of democracy, and the things which a democracy must have in its citizens if it is to endure. And to the class of June, 1942 she personifies these things completely. 15 THE FAC LTY Every freshman class has a revitalizing effect on the Queens College faculty. Come freshman registration day and sloping shoulders are thrown back, chins lifted off the ground, upper lips stiffened, for once more the brow beaten men of letters have someone to impress, some- one to awestrike. But alas, this renewed vigor wears off all too soon. By the end of the six weeks report period a thoroughly wised up fresh- man class joins upperclassmen in referring to Dr. Shaftel as f'Doc, Mr. Kreuzer as James R., Dr. Gayer as Archie, and the Dean as f'Peggy' in their private conversations. The awe has completely worn off and, stripped of their professional dignity, the faculty are once more just part of the mob. But with the loss of their awe appeal they gain a new and decidedly more healthy respect from their students. That covert nickname the Dean gains, that hail-fellow-well-met attitude toward many professors is indicative of a much warmer student-teacher relationship. This re- lationship is made still more cordial by a student personal advisory system, and a tendency toward informal discussion in class. Students and teachers work with each other, not at impressing one another. Thus Queens College hits at a solution to the problem of making the demo- cratic ideal work in the classroom. 1 The democratic ideal at work in a classroom acts in exactly the same way as it does in broader social, political and economic fields. lt requires the utmost in freedom of thought, speech and action.

Merely attending classes and engaging in games of intellectual ping pong do not equip him with those quali- ties so essential in a system of self-government-leadership, fellowship, understanding. Determined by a faith in the will of the governed, these requi- sites were never more sharply defined than now when a conflict of ideolo- gies makes survival itself the stake. Dependent upon application of fact. upon taking learning out of a vacuum, upon profiting by actual experi- ence, Leadership, Fellowship, Understanding grow out of activities not confined to the curriculum. Principles are put into practice when council members organize student activities, when editors meet deadlines, when thespians produce their own dramas, when artists and musicians create their own composi- tions, when home economists run the cafeteria, when cadet teachers tutor the speech and hearing handicapped, when the sociologist volun- teers his services to community welfare agencies, when fraternities, sororities, and clubs become the Inter-Fraternity Council. It is the person who can do, and not the one who can say, who is needed now when our country is at war, and who will be even more necessary when peace is again attained and victory is ours. Someone, many someones, will be needed to bring order out of the chaos, and the college graduate should be one of those someones, he has the back- ground of facts and training which is so essential to the understanding and solving of those problems which confront us. Knowing the grammar rule, the chemistry formula, the mathematical theorem is not enoughg knowing and understanding their application is necessary before they can become anything more than mere words. It is this ability to trans- cribe theory into practice which will determine the citizen who can and will leadg who can and will continue to build toward a fuller democracy. l8 Student Council Student Council elections, long thought a popularity contest by the majority of students, are in reality one of the most important aspects of democracy in action at Queens College. Self-government, for which the council is a symbol, is probably the most necessary requisite to a democratic society. That students take a stand on such major problems as Civil Liberties, that they realize the full import of a War in which democracy is the stake - all issues of this sort are vital to their future Worth as citizens. These and the minor problems of college life are the issues which the council discuss, on which they offer student opinion. Twenty-eight members, four from each class excluding lower Fresh- men, meet every two weeks to attempt their solution. Queens College has been lucky in that its popular students are also its capable and responsible ones, for were it not so, that gal with the pretty legs from the Upper Freshman class, or that guy with the plaid sport jackets elected by Upper Juniors might spend valuable time discussing the Apple Orchard and the advisability of holding classes in the Huddle. As it is they recognize important issues. Let's hope our luck holds out. I9 PUBLIEATIU S Lens-Horizons A safety valve for Queens Colleges more insistent creative im- pulses is provided by the student publication Lens-Horizons, a tasty combination of literary, art, and photography work. Not that the magazine, published once each semester, veers toward the Marty. Among the purple soul searchings of earnest sophomores have appeared such signihcant articles as an essay on 'ANeo-Machievellianism-a Study in Power Politics, Mel Krantzler's Hjingoes over Hollywoodfl Dave Sinowitz's 'iAmerican Baseball, other student discussions of the po- litical and social issues that loom so large on contemporary horizons. Chiefly, however, the purpose is to bring to the college audience some of the better student efforts in the realm of fiction and poetry. There was, for instance, Gabby Fontrier's Excerpts from the Diary of Apathy Feneantf' Irving Stein's poem, Drizzly Dayl' and Athena Lemniaf' by Patrick Flynn. All this, incidentally, under the literary editorship of Martha Lorenz, with Al Wfalther handling the photog- raphy end of it as usual. 20 Crown A sounding off board for student opinion, a stimulus for many a pitched intellectual battle on campus, The Crown has proved a source of both joy and pain to Queens College students. Admittedly, rather defensively, Hthe student newspaper of Queens College, edited and published by undergraduates and reflecting their views alone and, working on the principle that what happens to the world happens also to Queens College, it has managed to run the gamut of topics from affairs foreign and domestic to those scholastic and mildly romantic. The Crown Oflice is a scene of constant and bustling activity, the Crown subscribers ever on the lookout for a good fight, and the Crown editors victims of moods ranging from healthy cases of dementia praecox to complete and abject despair. In many other cases such a continual state of unrest might be an unhealthy indication, but in the case of the Crown it is rather an indication of the dialectic in action in a democracy. 21 EAU. SAO dances, an SAO sponsored Carnival, student rebates on roller skating, bowling, and basketball games would seem to indicate that the Student Activities Organization is just too, too socially inclined. Actually it is an organization run by decidedly hard headed and capable business men and women. Originally designed as an aid to student organizations it has done much more than it expected to do. NOW one of the IHOSI important institutions on the campus, it makes appropriations to Financially embarrassed organizations, aids the Dean's scholarship fund, obtains student rates in sports activities and provides a general sinking fund for organizations so important to a well rounded college life. r Star Dust An outlet for the dramatic Hare which seems to be the prerogative of youth is well provided for in the Queens College Playshop. But woe be unto him who, believing himself possessed of both acting ability and temperament, joins the club for the sole purpose of becoming a star. The Playshop is not run according to the star system. Every role is won in open competition. Every member of the club has the right to enter the competition, and the person who is fortunate enough to win it does so according to merit. Thus, in Queens College, democracy enters even the realm of dramatics. What the democratic system has worked in the held of dramatics is proved on the evidence of fine productions. This year Biwl in Hand, complete with surrealistic advertisements, three one act plays and a varsity show aided and abetted by the Playshop members were the fruits of thespian labor. And the fruits, worthy of the labor involved, were found good.

His main concern is how well he will fill the job which he knows is waiting for him. It is quite an important job for Joe, this Army business. It is a business that is beg- ging for physical as well as intellectual strength and training. In the past, anything that smacked of militarism was felt to be out of place at Queens College-ROTC was a concession to militarism and alien to the cause of intellectual democracy . . f'-but today it is this emphasis on preparedness which We need to preserve our intellectual democracyf, Seeing the necessity for trained men We are using the limited facilities at Queens College to give those who Wish it at least some knowl- edge of military tactics, rather than send them in completely raW. On March l'7 thirty-seven boys met in D206 for the first meeting of TEP This means today! the new military drill course. It is not a grand scale military show with brass bands, shining boots and clank- ing swords-but just a group of fellows who, realizing what lies before them, want to use their spare time to prepare themselves as best they can without giving up their college until they are called. The course is not wide in scope-there is no advanced and technical mili- tary science. Its purpose is . . to school prospective draftees in the modern revised military movements and the corresponding command drills and to afford each individual with a chance to issue commands with the proper inflection and timing in accordance with the oflicial military practice .... And so physical educa- tion enters a new phase-at least new for Queens Col- lege and no one can deny its place. DIFFEHE T ELAN In these days of hell on wings and wheels more is required of the hu- man mechanism than in any other time in history. True, we may have machines to kill with, but working those machines and rebuilding what they have destroyed is no push-but- ton job. It is Work that requires quick reflexes, sharp nerves, and ust plain physical endurance. lrVorking on this thesis, the Physical Education Department at Queens College has been making re- visions in its curriculum for the past year. W'e have retained the social dancing classes and the badminton classes--but something new has been added, and more will follow. What has come? Calisthenics have been going on in each physical traina ing course for two reasons-to con- dition and loosen up the body and to make the student more responsive to commands. The so-called heavy', or more vigorous activities have found a def- inite place on the curriculum. Ju- do, more commonly known as jiu jitsu, has been very popular with the men. Weight lifting was also started in the after Pearl Harbor semester. The Physical Education Department believes that lifting 175 pounds for a semester or two will make you a mighty useful citi- zen in this war-and rightfully so. And then there are the other body- builders-wrestling, boxing, and tumbling-muscle and nerve condi- tioners, all. And what will come? llr. Dambach and his department, working in conjunction with the Medical Oflice, have outlined a plan for a more comprehensive survey of health conditions among the student body. There is a threefold purpose for this program, let the student know how he stands physically-let the college know how he stands physically- and let the old Draft Board know too. This means that the student will go through a much more detailed examination in the future-including measurements of speed, endurance, explosive power, and just plain brawn. From these tests the Nledical and Physical Education Oflices will make charts showing the school's norm so that each student will be able to see exactly how he marks up physically in relation to his fellow ealth Classzficatzon Part Wa OPhsEd If the war strikes directly at Queens College your life and the students will depend on your strength speed courage and discipline points out the Physical Education Department in its latest report That you may have to give -first aid tight fires extricate people from the ruins of buildings in case of a bombing is the :basis ,for the plea to you to 'get into good physical condition and to acquire the skills which will en- able you save lives.

Tests of coordination or motor ability will be given in each of the Phys. Ed. courses and the students be similarly on these factors. The complete classification will be intended primarily to show the student where he stands in regard to his health, and to give the department a general idea of the health level of the school.

' K n - a 17 ITRAS... March 8, 1940 the Crown ran a statement from President Klapper in which he outlined his stand on sports at Queens College. . . I am heart and soul for a general participation program that promises in generous measure all the educa- tional values inherent in a well balanced program of athletic activities. For reasons educational and related to our physical limitations, I am decidedly not in favor of a varsity athletic program with emphasis on inter-institutional competition . . . And it has been mainly a program of general participation at Queens College ever since. We find the school more interested in whether the Dead End Boys or Phi Omega Alpha will win an intramural basket- ball tournament than whether or not the varsity Basketball Club will beat Brooklyn Poly. We have seen President Klap- per's wish become fact as hundreds of men and Women enter the tournaments each season. The sports aristocracy lives in virtual exile as the people take over the enclosures. Participation in competitive sports is open to everyone on the campus-racoon coats, football heroes and high paid coaches have been replaced by tournaments in basketball, bowling, paddle tennis, ping pong, fencing, horseshoes, or softball. and E THA5 October 6, 1940 was a red letter day for Queens College-we finally had a varsity team which brought home a trophy. We feel it Htting and proper to print the names of that famous squad of nine men who brought this first trophy-and the only one to date-that the college has gained in inter-school competition. It was Lou Kunin, George Aaron, Morris Grumet, Moe Altchek, Mel Klein, Milt Schwartz, Tom Thorne, Ralph Hein and Nat Ostreicher who won the championship in the Flushing Y.M.C.A. table tennis league. i Outside of this one departure Queens College has not been able to overcome physical limitations and turn out winning varsity clubs. Groups of men have formed A'clubs to play other schools, but the stu- dent body could never get too steamed up about them. Basketball and baseball have gained a certain degree of popularity, but if it were not for the weekly notices in the Crown few students would know of the existence of tennis, boxing, track, swimming, soccer, handball and golf squads. Some people have visions of the dim future when Queens College will have a stadium and gymnasium and crowds cheering great inter- collegiate teams. But the more realistic person munches his sandwich and walks over to 'Abehind E building to watch the Dead End Boys win another basketball game. 47 one 4 e the dm, Our first impressions of collitch life were somewhat dimmed by the usual torrential storms which we have since come to accept as a necessary part of the first two weeks of school each September. YVe trotted around docilely in the rain buying math books at 54.40 a throw and those Taylor tabloids that became obsolete faster than the Lockheed P40g saying yes, professor to George Hinckley and asking Dud Straus what his major was. Dean Kiely welcomed us ofhcially in President Klapper's absence and we all decided Madlyn Donnelly must be the College G.G. with her upswept hair and that plaid reversible. Those were the days when we all contemplated our Persian Rugs after reading Of Human Bondage and professorial idiosyncrasies were matters of reverence rather than contempt. lt was this same glad September that Queens acquired those legend- ary characters, those men of rhyme and song whose names are on the lips of all true Queens men - that blessed trinity W- Dr. Bradley, Dr. David and Joe Machlis who have been commenting and commented about ever since. October 26th we celebrated QCTS first birthday. Miss Gram, rising splendidly to the occasion, provided little birthday cakes with one blue 418 candle and we all sang Happy Birthday to You, and fairly shook the cafeteria with our sentiment, understandable since we had just seen our first professorial procession, and though Dr. Cayer's tam o' shanter from Oxford was still a thing of the future, the pageant was a sight to behold. This was a term of organization, organization, organization. The Student Council adopted a constitution-has anyone seen it? The Lens-Horizons was published-has everyone seen it? The Qu.een's Husband, first varsity play of the college, proved the first of Sally Pschenitza's many starring Hvehiclesf' The SAO brought us Gary Cooper in the Lives of the Bengal Lancers which ran as an added attraction to the Campus Newsreel - commentaries by The Hinckley. However he did it, photographer Lou Palmieri managed to miss 992, of the student body, but we liked looking at Tommy Ahearn anyhow. Christmas came, on the 25th of December as usual, with YV. Withers playing Santa to the Virginias of the Faculty. Oh, and it was this semester that we met our advisers. Well, it was a nice chummy idea, having advisers, and we will say they kept discreetly in the back- ground. It was this semester, too, when Mr. Knag made up all that messy business about student self registration which has since come to be known as the biennial rat-race. We marked time for about three weeks waiting for the kids to pass their regents in high school and then threw ourselves with renewed passion and vigor into our second semester. Our first spring term on the campus is suffused with a rosy glow. We suppose the cafeteria was jammed even then and the Quad no doubt had its bald spots, but now it seems we sipped cool lemonades on green velvety car- pets. The Apple Orchard be- came a reality. Shirley Chambers was on the basketball team which actually won a game. Marty Wilkins made a habit of cutting in on dancing to the juke box in the Upper Lounge: no one went to classes. VVhat actually happened was - we got our usual 9 to 4 programs 49 with a 10 o'clock lunch, froze through March and melted the rest of the way in, fought for the last tunafish sandwich and lost Hayes and had to reimburse the library, and no one understood 'cause it seemed we'd been given money to buy it in the first place, and so we sold Treasury of the Theatre and made up the rest out of lunch money. But Venus continued her nine months tour around the world, as Dr. de Laguna was wont to remind us, and we, too, mushed on. Newly enfranchised, we put Lil Lari, Janet Galbraith Qmarried, nowj , Tom Dent, Larry Smirlock, Gab Fontrier, jack Alexander and Marty Wilkins on the Council. That term the sports policy of Queens College was established at the suggestion of President Klapper who came out strongly against big time athletics. So now the boys get along without banners and cheering throngs and concentrate on intra rather than extra mural sports. One Saturday we were all put through our paces for more than 400 over-heated relatives on Parents Day. Classes sat in dull, embar- rassed silence while Professor Pagliacci bravely carried on. It was a bang-up affair, especially when the May pole collapsed in the middle of an English folk dance. This gay day was only surpassed by the Carnival, the first of what was to become one of our slickest traditions All the fraternities and sororities on the campus participated in the contest for the best booth, and from 9 o'clock on, in a fever of creative passion, undergrads transformed the Quad into a gay, crepe paper world. Cafe d'Alpha Omega won the prize when the committee, on the verge of deciding, staggered in with parched throats and had a lemonade - on the house. That year we had a ferris wheel, a hay ride, peep show 50 fof faculty baby picturesj and a marriage booth before which Dean Kiely warned a blushing Mr. Garvey that this was his last chance. We could see the Trylon and the parachute jump growing out of the Flushing swamps that term and we invited the King and Queen of England to visit us on their way to Washington. Nothing happened on either count. The Playshop presented its first major production, Candida, and Chris Quinby in the title role struggled valiently with the booming fireworks from the Fair for the attention of the audience all through the third act. Vaguely surprised, we were taking exams. With a year to our credit we think we were saner, College, Queens College, wasn't saddle shoes and Junior Proms and convertibles and tres gay, College, Queens College, was subways, wind, Paul Klapper, a cigarette - good. SUPHUMUHES September, '39 - for us the beginnings of a second college year. For the world the beginnings of a second world war. The campus got socially significant, Father Coughlin was a fighting word, and inter- national policies were weighed and found wanting over cokes in the cafeteria. But active war on the home front confined itself to guerrilla tactics of sophs-versus-frosh. We were big stuff now, and out, liter- ally, for somebody's pants. In October that perennial orphan child-the SAO-was inaugurated with chairman Tom Dent's vocal banners flying. It was probably an awfully good idea, but nobody cared much one way or the other. A building became Walt Whitman Hall, with gilt letters to prove it, and everyone still called it A building. Similarly, the administration building became Jefferson Hall, and, appropriately enough, a bust of jefferson by Piccirilli was installed in the lobby. A few stray bicycle racks and park benches, plus some anemic looking trees along the ramp were new milestones on our way to the science-building-athletic stadium-library pipe dreams of our inmates. And the Crown actually ran pictures of the Queens College of the Future, all imposing glass brick and streamlined as anything. It was during this semester too that the announcements presaging 51 those famous compre- hensives were made. In the face of immi- nent student revolt Dr. Harry Rivlin ex- plained, YVe should like to measure the studentys ability to use information and skills he has ac- quired. Naive, wasn't he? 1 Besides the social science lab, the col- lege acquired that chiefest ornament of the Dead End Boys, galaxy, Dr. Arthur Gayer, replete with English accent and French panty waists, and Dr. Gaudens Megaro, given to annihilating this wor1d's follies by the mere shrug of his tongue. Other popular entertainments included the Playshop's production of the Night of January l6th with Helen Steinreich very effective in the lead. Everybody had a wild time decid- ing guilty and not guilty on the successive nights, just about then the music department inaugurated its series of strictly S.R.O. musicals with joe fBalladej Machlis laying them in the aisles. The Winter Wonderland Dance, with all the sloppy jacket men very fetching indeed in immaculate tux, and the sweater and skirt gals glamorous beyond recognition in evening gowns, heralded the term's end in festive spirit, as did the exciting council elections, the basketball victories, and the announcement of a 347,000 appropriation for a parking field. It seemed a little gaudy for the cosmic brand of Ford's mistakes that we rode around in, but never look a gift horse in the mouth, we always say. 1 1,734 which somebody said was the official enrollment figure for January, 1940, suddenly seemed 1700 too many for our weary halls. Chair space at the cafeteria became a major problem in the life of one o'clock lunchers, and lounge-lizarding, as a profession, was distinctly overcrowded. Little pools of people began to form around the library desk, and Miss Gram, knowing her demand-supply theory of prices cold, promptly raised tuna fish sandwiches two cents. 7 Maybe it was this awareness of the Cost-of-Living that provided a stimulus to investigate the world outside. But by spring we were in the thick of it. Those were the days of the Bertrand Russell question -ten days that shook our world. The whole furor centered in the stand Student Council would take on a petition protesting Russell's removal from the C.C.N.Y. faculty. The Council preferred to ignore the whole matter on the theory that who was to get the Upper Lounge for the next dance was the full scope of their concern. But front page Crown editorials, plus a bevy of sinister-looking, black-bearded, bomb-toting ANARCHISTS changed that in a hurry. The following week, in a turn about, it voted for the circulation of the petitions and the week after that reversed itself again in a I3-I2 vote against circulation. The Council bore more than a passing resemblance to a top, and in the days of righteous even gleeful indignation that followed, it was decided to refer the whole matter to President Klapper. But the aftermath was felt in the nearest the college has ever come to a rootin' tootin' political battle over Council elections. lt mattered hardly at all that johnny had once lent you his C. C. 3 notes, or that Mary had the nicest smile on the CZISL side of the campus. Anybody who hoped to become the ward heeler of Spanish 2C or its equivalent, had to take a granite-like stand of the Affaire Russell, the R.O.T.C., the war, and the care and feeding of owls in the attic. XVe had dis- covered popular sovereignty, and we ate it up. Mildred Cleary, Lil Lari, Dave Sinowitz, Bob Rand, and Larry Smirlock got themselves elected. There were other indications of the trend. Like the penny raising campaign to send telegrams protesting Roosevelt's armament bill which 48 classes sent. And the second turnout on the April 26th peace rally where Roger Baldwin told of his sojourn in jail during the last war to an enthusiastic audience. The second page of the Crown became an ideological battle ground where bloody but unbowed students sounded off and were sounded off on their opinions of the outside currents that whirled around our green acres. There was an increas- ing realization that Queens College was somehow involved in wha t happened in lfVashington, London, Berlin, M un ich, South America. And this entailed also a realization that we, as students in a democracy, had a responsibility which, although not as yet clearly formulated, was nevertheless reflected more and more in every day college life. So with the end of year two we cut another notch in our record cards, took a deep breath, and looked out beyond Kissena Boule- vard for further developments. After bearing up nobly for four years in the face of extravagant goings-on, the library ceiling completely collapsed and for weeks we tripped over brushes, paint pots, painters, and the Afllerbach twins in an effort to get one of the seven new books the library had acquired over the summer. This deranged scholarship. Hardly anyone was passing a course at the six weeks reporting period. But as a concession to the intellectuals, the music listening room was opened, and a sort of Beethoven Hot Club flourished. In fact, that was the year certain faculty members, who shall be nameless, managed somehow to tie four students in a radio musical quiz program where everybody snared wristwatches as prizes. Nice going, Doc. The Lower Juniors, that's us, ran riot on the Student Council, Larry Smirlock got to be president, and still was, last time anybody heard. Lil Lari was elected secretary, and Bob Rand, treasurer. The Council's first act was to approve the olhcial college seal, sans nudity, that the Board of Higher Education had accepted after some three years mature deliberation on the subject. So much for aesthetics. Our animal natures found expression in a razzle-dazzle frosh sophomore riot - which culmi- nated in that moment immortalized by Crown photography, when some poor de- pants-ed freshman, or was it a soph, climbed the lamp post in front of A building like a hunted thing to es- cape his savage pur- 54 suers. You should remember the pic- ture. We've been looking at it ever since. Everybody felt this exhibition could not be topped, so the oflicial rush was called off. Besides, having just won the first athletic trophy of its existence, in ping-pong of all things, the campus bruisers felt that they could ignore mere muscle for the nonce. The Crown, in sympathetic mood, denounced autumn emphasis on football and such, demanded more attention to amatory exercises. So we exercised and exercised. The first of a gripping series of an- nouncements was made about the mark- ing of the C.C. and Lit. comprehensives. 304 Lower Juniors were sure they'd Hunked anyway. And while the boys, l the big ones, were tearing out their eyelashes waiting for the results of the nation's first peace time draft, another anti-war rally took place on campus. It was just about then too that the long suffering Crown editors hazarded a timid suggestion that they be given an oflice and a couple of desks if nobody minded. They were sternly reproved for lack of pioneering spirit, and told that National Defense was holding up production. Pity the fourth estate, - but what estate? By November 29, nominations for Student Council via the petition system began, and no one could hope for a signature, even a forged one, without giving three in return. Little chalk drawings insisting that St. Joan was no angel appeared in class rooms, and Gertie Gring and Rosemary Hartman had roles in what was probably Queens College's first extravaganza-mail costumes from U. S. Steel and all. At long last the literature and arts comprehensives were published, the marks, that is. But hardly anyone, except of course the passers with distinction, noticed, in the midst of big doings which included the Winter Wonderland Formal, when Miss New York or Evelyn Pieper, according to how well you got to know her, put in an appearance. And then there was always Christmas, taxes, and final exams. The Crown received its eagerly-awaited desks, and, happy as larks, wrote a beaming little editorial entitled, Please Have a Merry Christmas. 55 At the very end of the term the C.C. comprehensive results sound- ing a note of grim realism were published, along with a sheepish admis- sion by Dr. Rivlin that no conclusions could as yet be drawn from the experiment. But didn't we just though. january 1941 started quite a year. Week after week national obituaries made the headlines. The tragedy of France, and the tragedies after-less shocking, as time went on, of Yugoslavia, Greece, Crete, Norway, Sweden. The political maps of modern Europe weren't used in the history courses. Geography was what the second page of the Times said it was. And in the midst of all this, the same old preoccupa- tions, assignments overdue, term papers to be written, dances and parties to go to, clothes, cars, ships, and sealing wax, and the rest of the college rigmarole went on in the same old way. Delmonico's was selected for the Junior Prom, desperate class officers, who turned out to be Mike Santopolo, Graham Tahler, Lillian Lari, Margie Collins, and Dave Sinowitz, tried to put the bee on us for thirty-five cents class dues. As if they didn't know better. Queens 56 got fully accredited by the State Department of Education, and the weary rumor that the Science Building would positively be started in 1942 didn't get a rise from anyone but lower freshmen. Ken Milden- berger won the Playshop award for his original play, Hypothetical Hurricane -a cool ten bucks, and had it produced in true Playshop manner. Beside the purely dramatic, everybody in the place was in a furor about Orientation, A.M., the varsity show, produced, written, and scored by students, and the whole campus hummed For Further Details See My Heart for weeks afterward. The Silhouette contest was pretty dramatic too. There were about forty entrants altogether, sternly admonished by the press to wear bathing suits, and evening dresses-but without any accessories. That last sounded immodest as anything, it didn't turn out to be. The consensus of opinion later was that we had some pretty nifty little jobs at school, and the john Powers chose Betty Ann McCann as niftiest. Hell week was hell as usual, what with six red devils madly chasing an innocent maiden with their wicked looking pitch forks, while a very buxom angel lolled on the roof of A building, a barrel clad eccentric paced up and down the road in front, and two gay-ninety cuties rode a tandem round and round the campus. Hellzapoppin, incidentally, was still packing them in on Broadway, which is perhaps an explanation of the college mentality during the time. Then, of course, Gabby Fontrier played an original piece in a recital of student compositions, which included opus one of both Sol Berkowitz and Norman Phillips. We were pretty impressed. The strange, damp currents of the world outside wafted in now and again, but always attuned to the college media. There was, for instance, the British Relief Hop where Joyce Surber trilled. Ruth Lerman appeared on the campus with two visiting British sailors, and the last of the Peace Rallies was held. Alice Duer Miller's visit to the campus resulted in a 51,000 relief drive. But then too, there were Parents' Night, and book reports overdue, and the shivering prospect of finals when our sins would be visited upon us. Then too, was the first honest-to-god graduation, and the anticipa- tion of being seniors. Considerations, these which still dwarfed all others in the summer of '4l. We had not yet come to December 7. 57 SE IUHS We registered in September 1941 as Seniors. Seniors! It can't be,'y we said to ourselves in awestruck tones. Our four years couldn't have slipped by unwept, unhonored, unsung. No-we want to go back, to live again those happy carefree freshman days. The hell We did. But there were fundamental differences that term. For one thing dedication day unnerved everybody by dawning bright and clear. By noon sufficient threatening clouds had amassed to restore the college's emotional stability, and with the wind and the wind in our hair we gathered to titter at professors in full academic regalia, to accept the flags twenty-nine colleges and universities sent us, which nobody has seen since, by the Way, and to see the gift of our shiny new alumni asso- ciation, an oil portrait of President Klapper. For another thing, the Dodgers got to play the Yankees in the World Series. Little knots of people collected in what was still a parking field behind B building, listening tensely to the radio broadcasts of the game. Teachers dis- missed classes, women fainted, strong men shrieked, and in general the 58 college resembled nothing so much as the waiting room of a maternity hospital while the fate of the Brooklyn Bums hung in delicate balance. The men working in front of the administration building had a gay good time moving the road back and forth as the spirit moved them, though nothing seemed to move them very much. For months catching the orange bus was like a 440 dash over hurdles. The Playshop pro- duced Bird in Hand, and The Fan, the latter giving Ambrose Gariano a chance to strut his stuff which he made the most of. Gabby Fontrier made with the famous Jabberwocky, and Mary Innes and Sol Berkowitz gave out with music they thought up out of their own little heads. All of which had the net result of bringing down the house. A national defense theme made no considerable difference to collegiate life. College radio programs were orientated around the theme of consumer problems, and under the guidance of Dr. Persia Campbell the first consumer conference, gathering together local captains of industry, was held. People stopped forgetting to pick up their Times or Tribune in the morning, but all in all, no one was sufficiently upset to be prevented from having a wonderful time at the Winter Wonderland Dance that Milt Matthews and Bob Peterson worked over. This was Friday, December 5. Monday morning was traditionally reserved for a detailed discussion of who came with whom, what was worn, what he said, and the ways of a man with a maid. But these locker room conferences hit a snag. On Monday morning there was everywhere one topic of conversa- tion, one theme of thought, one frame of mind. The attack on Pearl Harbor knocked everything else from our minds, and to a man the college gathered about radios to hear Presidenti,Roosevelt's address, a declaration of war on japan. On Tuesday student representatives gathered for a Defense Rally in the auditorium, and outside many more stood to listen to an address over the P.A. systems, by Dr. Klapper and Dean Kiely. The full implications of what was happening hit home with a bang when Dr. Klapper interrupted the Dean's talk to ask stu- dents to take all your belongings and go home. At first we thought it was a joke, but the concluding - and may God be with you was too convincing. Quietly and quickly the students obeyed. Doubling up in cars, running for buses, thumbing rides down by the gate, every person in the school was off the grounds in fifteen minutes. 59 The Crown issue of that week was devoted to news of college mobilization, pledges of service and equipment, and President Klap- per's request that we go on as before, pending authoritative Hdirection to our effort. The same issue carried the story of the appointment of the Queens College Scholars. They were Stanley Birnbaum, Alberta Friedman, Helga Henrichsen, Lillian Lari, Mike Santopolo, Larry Smirlock, and Diana Zingher. Most of us registered for civilian defense work, some enlisted in the army or navy, only slowly did the college go back to routine. Registration in February was a joy. Hardly any classes closed out, hardly any classes to take, seniors contented themselves with putting in an appearance at school now and again merely for the principle of the thing. The first major event on the social calendar was the senior class party, where the gals bought their escorts at so much a foot . . . demonstrating the inferiority of quantitative to qualitative analysis. Queens went on a three year schedule. Wouldn't you know it would be in our senior year? Inflation threatened in the form of a Crown price rise, a listening post gave an excuse for the people in Mr. Knag's office to listen to the radio all day, the SAO held a dance i for the USO Qtickets sold CODQ , the Insti- tute series were postponed, defense lectures and courses began, Kathleen McGreevy became the Crown's Victory Book Campaign Girl, and Queens College pledged itself to buy a thousand dollar defense bond, the Dean announced a C average as a prerequisite for graduation, after our graduation. Looking back, it seems C's didn't grow on trees. Looking back it seems maybe good times, nice teachers, good-egg students did. We Wonlt forget the classes on the campus, torn up grounds, the figures of Tommy Gilmartin, and Rascal, who went to as many or more classes than we did, the mirage-like towers of New York silhouetted 60 M r. Kicfuzer, AI r. H a 11 11, and M iss Slazfin being gay al tlzc Class Party. against the sky, the visits of alumni, of students who transferred, of boys in uniform, the exclamations over news of engagements, and jobs, and weddings, and babies. We Won't forget four years of Widening experience, enriched growth, Wiser maturity. We w0n't forget Queens College, and the Class of june '42, Class affiffrs: Alargrf Collins, Tom lVial1'r, Alike Saalojnolo, Lil- lian I.ari, Al IValll11'r. Sloppy jacket man very fetching indeed in immaculate tux, and sweater-and-skirt girls glamorous beyond recognition in sparkling eve- ning gownsf' Queens College at the Senior Ball. A smooth dance Hoor substituted for the bald campus. The familiar facade of the alphabet-named buildings replaced by the very fancy decor of the Sert Room of the Waldorf, and the sweet hot music supplanting sweet hot Hayes. This is finale. This is the end of the long road which was home. This is the result of months of anxious consultation on the part of the Senior Ball Committee. It's a good result. lt's a good time. Dancing and talking and having fun are as much part of our student life, of our democratic American life as are classrooms and the ballot box. And if even having fun is hard work in the year 1942, on prom night we worked away with a Will. 62 DEE. 7, l94l The isolationist illusion was broken. War had come to the secure and complacent Western Hemisphere by remote control. The Pearl Harbor attack made the United States as indisputably a part of World War II as a direct hit on the White House could have. This was the crisis toward which Queens College had planned. This Was the antici- pated threat to democracy that was to prove to the founders of Queens College that they were right in planning their curriculum about the democratic ideal. For due to their foresight a body of young men and young women were to go forth into a World shattered by a conflict of ideologies, infused with feeling for the full meaning of the democratic ideal, secure in the knowledge that it was the one true ideal, convinced that it was Worth fighting for. We, the june 1942 Class of Queens College, are part of that body of young men and young women which must face the conflict that threatens to blot out all that We hold dear. We shall be put to a test, the outcome of which will prove more than our own Worth as citizens of a democracy. The entire Worth of a system of education based on the democratic ideal will be tested. The Queens College system specifi- cally shall go through the ordeal of fire. We must prove ourselves true to our training, a training which tells us now that the enemies We fight are not mere men, that they are ideas, ideas alien to all that we feel right, just and honorable. Upon graduation we shall enter diverse fields. For the men there will be little or no choice g their job is to fight with arms. For the women there will be great choice-industry, nursing, office Workg any of a thousand and one jobs they will be asked to do, that the men may be released to fight. Some of this class may not live to see the end of the conflictg the rest of us have a clear duty. -ara.-W Q55 ,.-,-ff g ln- X ff 'N MM w gf fi ..

Vice-president of Phi Eta Chi, Newman Club member, Senior Week committeeman are some of the things Joe worked at, at school. JANET AFFLERBACH is one half the bulwark of the library- completely indistinguishable from the other half, her twin sister, except for the difference in their majors. Janet's is German, but she can spiel a mean line of classical Latin when the occasion arises, and she hopes the occasion will arise in the New York teaching system. Lois is the other half of the Afflerbach combine, and intends, appropriately enough, to be a librarian and heaven knows she managed the Queens library with one hand behind her back - studied Latin too, but majored in English. Lois is president of the German Club sparetimes, but then nobody could tell if Janet took over, anyhow. MOE ALTCHEK is a competent linguist, he speaks Spanish fluently, curses effectively in Italian, and manages a polluted English. Though he is founder and president of the Dead End Boys, Moe's chief claim to fame is his classic remark, A'De Speech Department is takin' de folk element outta me speech. lVlARION ARBEIT has already proved the practicability of her college education by securing a position as a Spanish trans- lator for the government. Anything Mexican attracts Marion whose home is fully adorned with colorful souvenirs from south of the border. She is also a Deanls Lister, secretary of the Spanish Club and a clarinet player in the Band. Like all Psychology majors MARGUERITE BARTZ has found at least seven types of insanity that lit her. Likes orange juice, Humphrey Bogart, and Dr. Spencer's ties. Marge can play piano, sing, sew, knit and cook, but she eschews domesticity for a career. Latent whim: to become an airline hostess. MAE BAUM's pungent puns aren't what got her on the Dean's List, but they certainly helped her win friends and influence people during l2 o'clock lunch in the cafeteria. Marion's a French major, wants to hike through the wine trails of France, but right now she's willing to settle for skiing in the Catskills. RED BEACHAM can usually be found crawling out from under his antiquated Ford or on the blowing end of a cornet. He's changed his major as often as a chameleon changes color, but he's finally decided to become an actuarian or an Ensign in the Coast Guard, see! J Lrgsus BEHUNEKYS intellectual bent is toward philosophy. As a Sociology major, however, he also shows his interest in people. Though he is usually content to discuss any philoso- pher from Plato to James, he shows a distinct aversion to inetaphysicians and a decided penchant for logical positivists. .AUGUSTA BENEDICT is very active in Phi Tau Alpha affairs, having been vice-president and scribe. She divides the rest of her time between working in the library and interviewing for her held research work. Her naive reactions in re the latter have convulsed the class on many occasions. SoL BERKOXVITZ is the Hyoung manwith the piano who is partially responsible for the tremendous success of our first Varsity Show. Sol takes honor in music, the serious kind, but on the quiet has a famed collection of swing records. He is also an ardent sports fan of the Dodger variety. Lanky YVARREN BERLS is a devotee of crew caps and tall blondes. A Phi Omega Alpha man, like most college men he swigs beer and mouches cigarettes among other things. As a History major he anticipated America's entrance into the war and foresaw his destiny accordingly. Destination: the army. -ea Ns 1 Litre if an gf? Silk President of the Latin Club, on the steering committee of the Economics Club, DOROTHY BERNHARDT will be remembered for the energy and ability she put into establishing both of these societies. Although her hobbies switch from Virgil in the winter to tennis in the summer, Dorothy's real aim is to become an economist for the government. lN'IIMI BERNSTEIN majored in English with ever shifting voca- tional objectives. Still uncertain, she is waiting for the inspi- rational flash only a want-ad column can supply. She is fond of hosteling, square dancing and also skiing despite the fact that more than once she's appeared with a beautiful shiner acquired, she says, on ye snowy trails. In lab once, GERALD BESEN connected a Bunsen burner to the water outlet, but just the same hels a good chemist and a good egg. Jerry's mark of identification is the omnipresent slide rule, and his chief characteristic the constant query, Have you seen Dr. Blatt?,' Except of course, when he's ice-skating, bowling or playing tennis. QC Scholar STANLEY BIRNBAUM combines a dash of Einstein, from his Math background, with a smattering of jimmy Stew- art, from his army foreground. Top off with a crew cut and maraschino cherry. Stan fills in spare time with the Math and Fencing Clubs, and the nefarious activities of Sigma Kappa Chi. Sl .xg Yi E5 tt P J 'ag 9 'ba f NN, 5 NANCY BLA1'TlNIAN is half of a famous twosome, the other half being you know who. She is also fond of serious music, horse- back riding, political discussions, and potato chips. Nancy majors in sociology, is a member of the Anthropology Clan, and hopes to do social welfare work after June. DAVE BLOCH,S most distinguishing characteristic at present is a 2A classification. Very nervous and quite modest, Dave took two years to recover from his initiation into Phi Epsilon Pi and was then elected president of the Queens chapter. Dave can run the 220 in no time flat, and will kill anyone, besides his family, who calls him Buddy. If a nice sense of humor and an air of spontaneity can spice cookery as well as a personality, Jo BLOCK ought to be a wow as a dietitian. Membership in the Chemical Society, Home Economics Club and Biology Club indicate jo has an outside as well as classroom interest in Home Eco. A serious interest in sociology and a decided penchant for all things frivolous make ALICE BOARDMAN a paradoxical but de- lightful mixture. Possessed of a sparkling vitality she has written both the Dust Bowl and Strictly Feminine and was vice-president of Sigma Psi. Which all leads one to believe little Alice is small, but oh my! C MURIEL BOETTJERYS enthusiasm for social reforms converts everyone who comes in contact with her from apathetic do- nothingness to genuine activity. Never inactive herself, she divides her time successfully among such activities as travel- ing about the continent or making a survey on the major jitterbugs in the lounge. Versatile, friendly and fun, she's tops in any language. The combination of home economics and chemistry should mean that ANNE Boom is either a cook book chemist, or sci- entific chef. But leaving that aside, it is certain that Anne is one of the more active members of the Home Economics and Chemistry Clubs, as well as a popular sister of the Upsilon Phi Sorority. Invariably NORMA BONDY leaves the French or Spanish exam with an oh-it-was-awful expression, and invariably she makes the Dean's List. She makes the best cookies in the World, is positive that Macy's sells for GZ, less femployee loyaltyj, thinks the French department individually and en masse are the swellest people on the campus. SALVATORE BONSIGNORE is literally of the shady side of the campus, spending his in-school hours Qand there are a lot of themj in E Building, more specifically the chem labs. Salva- tore has declared for a job as a chemist. VVhat the army will have to say about that is still an unknown quantity. pf MNKYX ED BRADLEY, a Delta Gamma Epsilon man, spends most of his time out of school holding down what he, at least, claims to be an important position on the New York Sun. Most of his time in school Ed hangs around the sociology department, plans to do social work after graduation. People are always getting KAY BRADLEY to sell something, and as circulation manager of the Crown, Silhouette, and Lens-Horizons this cute, witty, and loquacious colleen is able to part a senior from his dollar more easily than anyone else. Newman Clubber, A.D. Pi-er and Macyite, Kay is deh- nitely one of the best-liked gals in these parts. Maybe there's a subtle connection between majoring in Political Science and wanting to be a taxidermist. We wouldn't put anything past ANNA BREIT, ardent baseball fan Cproud possessor of a baseball bat autographed by all the Dodgersj, Epsilon Phi Sigma sister, magnificent cook and bottle-washer, and titian-haired Coca-Cola fiend. Exotic is the word for SHIRLEY BULMER,S appearance, serious the word for her intention to teach long suffering high school students all about glottal stops. In her varied career she has been president of Sigma Psi, taught speech defectives and worked on the Silhouette. Her humor convulses the most dour individuals. V LY' X QDDL6 ORC QQ item L gag Q5 4 BX kkgjb There are very few QC students who missed noticing the carrot-topped lNlARION BURG, even though she spent most of her time in college around the science buildings on the shady side of the campus, messing around the biology and chem labs. When she emerges from the halls of science, Marion usually heads for the athletic field. RUTH BURG is right beside her sister Marion when it comes to sports. She has a mean batting average in softball, and is no slouch when it comes to paddle tennis either. She switched majors from biology to Home Eco., and is one of the active members of the Home Economics Club. FRANK BURKE is one half of the famous Pipe and Bowl Burke twins, the other half of which is now languishing in the Marine Corps. A nifty dancer and all around good fun, he participates wholeheartedly in the social whirl both at Queens and out- side. Though he has covert ambitions of other things he will probably join his brother in Uncle Sam's armed forces. Red headed, lanky, raw-boned JOHN BURNS is either a typical Irishman or a typical hill-billy. He has a slow, but crackling wit, a languid air and a pair of the longest legs on the campus. A good Pipe and Bowl man, he has a social Hare, but has also proved himself a steadfast and true scientist in the Chemistry department. i L ,gi gd X QS? LEONORE CA1Ni1's flashing smile is a familiar sight in the music building where she spends most of her college hours. An excellent pianist, even playing other people's music, Leonore has a yen to write a little of her own - and wants to go to graduate school to learn more about how it's done. JEANNE CAPLIN is an Economics major and a member of the Economics Club. She plans to teach. Jeanne's pupils will find it difficult to fall asleep with such an energetic instructor, if only because she'd probably beat them over the head if they show the slightest sign of boredom. Dark beauty, quiet charm, a gentle manner- these are the qualities which bring forth superlatives whenever JULIE CASA is around. We'll forgive her for having two majors, one's History, and the other is in the army, because her agreeableness and sincerity make her one of the top favorites on the campus. There's a rumor to the effect that ESTHER CHAIKEN can sit on her hair if she takes a notion, it's that long. But for the most part she keeps it neatly wrapped around her head in braids. Esther is a Phi Tau Alpha gal, an economics student, and an attender of Eco Club soirees. it Qi!! SHIRLEY CHAMBERS. This is the red-haired committee girl of Alpha Omega who leaves Queens Collegians guessing about that inscrutable look in her eye. As her English courses added up, she graduated from saddle shoes to spectators and lush suits and caused many a freshman to murmur, purpose- ful perfection without apparent effort. English major and Dean's Lister, MARGERY lX lAY CHANyS extra- curricular doings tend to the musical. She works with the A Cappella Choir, the Chorus, the Women's Glee Club, and is frequently called upon to solo. Also Margery has the rather amazing habit of tearing out pages she needs, because she dislikes carrying books. Silent, handsome, full of fun, JERRY CHIESA clicks with every- one. Though baseball is jerry's favorite sport, he is an all round athlete, who can compete with anyone. Arthur Murray never taught him dancing in a hurry. He thinks dances are swell- to watch. He majored in Poly Sci, wants to enter Civil Service, and is at present dragging down 1521 a day once a month. Although it looks like setting-up exercises from a distance, BEA CHORNAYS manual gymnastics are merely attempts to describe what her newest dress looks like. She buys two papers every day, reads them assiduously to her friends, buys cookies like mad, and schooltimes, dabbles in economics. 'ilk 22, gi , ka mozocv IRENE CHRISTO is one of those busy girls. When she isn't hustling around school getting her regular college Work done -which includes a psychology research problem-she is rush- ing off to Columbia to continue the research, or to make her Polish class on time. Scholarship aside, Irenels major pre- occupation is to bring her bowling up to par with her tennis game. NIILDRED CLEARY is a girl who has held down a job in her time, from Student Counciling, to being vice president of the junior class, to presiding over Theta Nu doings. And she does it with the same brisk despatch that snares her A'A's in her speech courses, that characterizes her self-possessed line of chatter, that puts snap into blue, blue eyes. JOHN CLEMM has made his quiet way at Queens majoring in History. Many have discovered his friendliness, but few have realized his hidden potentialities as an amateur sportsman, mainly in the field of baseball. It is rumored that he swings a mean bat and has spent a great deal of time managing some better than average sand lot teams in his spare time. Never on time herself, RUTPI CLINTON is just the girl to talk to delinquent tax payers, and tax collecting is what she wants to do. More than once Ruth almost fell asleep in her econom- ics classes, in spite of the amazing metamorphosis that makes her a dynamo of energy on a dance Hoor or basketball court. Tl Q75 If in X fee' Qi 'ARTS QIUD CR new-3 I I y! i A, f 53 lNlARGIE COLLINS is a college girl right out of the Inovies. Un- rivalled Queen of the Campus, permanent class secretary, the flower of Alpha Delta Pi is one of those girls whom the others would hate if it weren't for the fact that she's really so darned nice. Wfholv Wlzo of the Students of America boasts the name of AD Pi-er JEANNE CORBETT. Versatility, popularity and the ability to pull A's almost casually account for her national standing. A good worker as collection manager of the Crown, she'd much rather play and does a lot of it on Princeton Week- ends. A girl with varied interests, VIRGINIA CRESS goes in for every- thing from tennis, ping-pong and riding, to burning the mid- night oil for tomorrow's Chemistry exam, to dancing for hours on end Without tiring. Jean is an Iota Alpha Pi-er and has served as treasurer. JOHN DAIIL, a master of men and a wow in a rumble seat, is the only member of the senior class who succeeds in making the faculty feel they are intruding. Additional information includes four years of Political Science, and an ability to quaflf beer with the best of Phi Omega Alpha. gQQ31xf.t f l FRANCES DATYVYLER. This pert blonde cavorted about for several years attempting to choose a major - History finally won the race and Fran toted home a book occasionally. That amazing giggle staggered Alpha Omega as did her button twirling snag the boys. Her other sports are second, however, to her love of the classics which she practices diligently on her little Steinway. EVELYN DAv1s optimistically majored in Economics and Edu- cation, wants to teach in an elementary school. Not that the sixth grade won't love to hear about the law of diminishing returns if Evie is teacher. She is, appropriately enough, treas- urer of Theta Nu, as well as a Brooklynite, Dodger fan, scholar and gentlewoman. Bespectacled, jolly JOHNNY DAVIS is ample evidence of the fact that the material for clergymen is not all blue stocking or straight lace. Following a lifelong ambition Johnny will enter the seminary upon graduation. In the meantime he has majored in History, sung with the Men's Glee Club and con- ceived a penchant for a tall brunette AD Pi-er. A quiet and seemingly knowing smile has made more than one girl wonder what makes Loc14sLEY DEGENNARO tick. As president ofiPhi Kappa Rho and man about town in a minor college-boy sort of way Locksley has been well up on social doings at Queens. He majors in English in his spare time. Probably because of something quite true she learned in her Psychology classes, F REDERICA for Fritz as she is known to her friendsj DELSON is the kind of a girl who never forgets birthdays and anniversaries, particularly when they occur in Iota Alpha Pi sorority. She likes the Psychology Club, the Anthro clan and army uniforms. 1 THOMAS DENT. O tempora, O mores, O William Jennings Bryan, how Tom, an Irishman, has been the only Political Science major to talk Doc Long to a standstill, and how he became a self-made man of Pipe and Bowl who intends to lick the capitalistic system single handed which is no mean trick, even for an Irishman. . IXIARIE DoNoHoE majored in History and is intent on teach- ing in elementary school. A good joiner and worker she is a member of the Newman, History, Economics, French and Glee Clubs, as well as Theta Nu Sorority. In these she has proved herself an amiable and witty companion. Ace raconteur of the Alpha Delta Pi's INIARION DONHOFF has a flair for imitating accents in spite, or maybe because, most of her spare time is spent in teaching at the Speech Clinic. Nevertheless Marion worked on the Senior Ball Committee, the circulation staff of the Crown, and as exchange manager for that publication. 'WW If lu! -'sfs ,. U ,,,, Wigan- sw 15 One thing about WARREN DONNELLY - he's doing his bit in the defense effort, what with listening post, civilian registra- tion and learning to be a radio operator in addition to qualify- ing himself for lab work in Physics. Warren has also managed the last two Student Council elections. Co-editor of the Silhouette, and editor of Lens-Horizons, VIRGINIA DOYLE boasts an abysmal failure in her attempts to control the staff. On the sedentary side when it comes to sports, Ginny takes out any energetic impulses she isn't able to control on hamburgers at the Huddle and esoteric dis- cussions in the economic honors seminar. bl.-XDELINE DUFFY is one of those incredible people who never has a mean thought about anyone. It's certain nobody ever has one about her. A Theta Nu-er, past president and founder of the Girls' Intramural Council, a potential econ- omist, Madeline is distinctly on the ray-of-sunshine side, but with plenty of Irish zest to make it interesting. HERBERT DUNNING is one of the bright young men of the Political Science Department with a keen interest in contem- porary social problems, and the beer he discusses them over. Otherwise Herb goes in for hosteling, debating, and the Glee Club, where he lets loose a really nifty baritone on the popu- lace. C, aft QQB 'K W W ll. ff yM7s JIZNI DUX looks far too serene and easy-going to be a chemist. But overdue lab reports, which are chronic in that department never seem to bother him. In fact he likes the whole racket enough to want to be a chemist, gives of his time to the Chemistry Society. Otherwise likes to whip around on roller skates, and jive. BETTY DXVORETSKY takes her Life Philosophy seriously, in an irrepressible sort of way. Without turning a hair Betty takes in everything from embassy receptions in Mfashington to hot sessions in the Village. Her metamorphosis from disheveled school girl to out-of-school glamor girl is a perpetual source of amazement to everyone but her, and, oh yes, she's a sociology student. INDIAN JOE EISEMANN is interested in photography, and a pretty good dancer, despite the fact that he intends to be an agricultural economist. He has done some work in the held of hydroponics- Qchemical agriculturej, and will try for a M.A. in Agricultural Economics at the U. of Connecticut. At present Bill is Secretary of Pipe and Bowl, while in the past he held the position of Treasurer. CHRISTINA ENGLISH is able to face down high school students like a major when she holds forth on history at Rockville Center High. Calm, steady, and dependable, Chris is definitely the backbone-of-the-nation type. Theta Nu takes care of her social life. LX? kip me QDDL6 OIQC fvmfqo lxlARY F ALLON is what anyone in their right minds would call an executive, though maybe you wou1dn't think so to look at her. President of Sigma Psi, president of the English Club, features editor of the Crown, co-editor of Silhouette, Mary's been making a gigantic effort these many months to get out the yearbook without loss of sanity or her sense of humor. JANET FE1NBERG's pet joy is snapping candid shots of the vari- ous and sundry on the campus, in spite of which millions of people still talk to her. Unlike most girls, Janet develops them too. Maybe that's because being a Mathematics major she has a scientific bent of mind. BEN FERN, though he admits it only under pressure is a rootin-tootin, good-deed-a-day boy scout, eagle class. Maybe as an antidote-or just plain attraction of opposites, Ben leads the Alpha Phi Omega revels and was elected president. His other vices include bright red hair and an interest in Economics. Though a Political Science major, CHARLIE FIECHTER is artist- ically inclined. A sort of amateur George Petty, it is rumored his class notes are a wonder to behold. Swim Team stalwart, brother in Alpha Phi Omega and member in good standing of the International Relations Club, Charlie has done nothing if not show himself an all around man. 3561 DORIS' FINNELLY is the girl with the turned up nose, easy blush, and ready grin. Mathematics is her Weak point. As Beta Sigma Omicron's treasurer she spent many sleepless nights trying to balance the books. She's never quite succeeded, but it Won't matter much to the bugs she wants to do biological research on after graduation. M URRAY FLANDER always has a good ipsy pipsy Yiddish joke, can derive supreme pleasure from being with little Women and turning out a good Flander's Field for the Crown. Vice- president of Alpha Sigma Epsilon and news and feature editor of the Crown, he's now searching for a Worthy humanitarian cause to which to attach himself. GABBY FONTRIER, a one time Physics major, finally turned to his natural bent, Music, and has spent the last three years en- gaged in all things musical from the orchestra to composition classes. He has also been a Crown editor and Delta Gamma Epsilon man and has acquired a Chamberlainian reputation for his inevitable umbrella. TONY FORLENZA has sleepy eyes, a charming slouch and majors in Economics-all of which would certainly not indicate jitter- bugging tendencies. Yet Tony is one of the few boys at Queens who is able to lindy with utter and absolute finesse. He is, according to any rug-cutter in the groove. 1 I fi Yi T7 , illitlrlt y Even if majoring in Mathematics doesnlt land him a job as an actuary, it has done wonders for ERASMUS FRANZESEyS chess and bridge playing as his fellow club members in the two respective organizations can testify. A sports fan, and rabid baseball fan Ed gets in his own exercise as a member of the Track Team and Phi Eta Chi. Poised, petite .ALBERTA FRIEDINIAN wears her numerous titles of Queens College Scholar, chairman of the Class Night Com- mittee, member of the Yearbook staff and honor student in Sociology with an impressive dignity wondrous to behold in such a tiny person. YVitty, clever and cute are adjectives for Alberta. Though a scientist, EIARJORIE FRIEDINIAN gives any impression but that of being serious minded. When friends tell her she doesn't look like a Physics major, she chuckles and feels quite proud. She paints, knits, loves to dance and bake, and has an abiding passion for anything chocolate flavored. That social Hower of the Queens College campus, the Dead End Boys, claims HARRY GALAFCHICR as one of its exclusive circle. Not that Galafchick, with the six hour labs that are usual for the chemists of the college, has much time to even stick his head outside of E Building. And, evidently a glutton for punishment, he has mixed majors with Mathematics second. -r in 'fy24 L1 Z Y- K, is P 4 w ELSIE GALBRETH has spent a large part of her senior year commuting to Elmont when she spreads the rays of knowl- edge to her elementary school class for credits in Education. Elsie's interests encompass Spanish, picnicking, two lots in Connecticut which she received as a birthday present, and Theta Nu Sorority. A ready grin, eager air and an ability to work with people, as shown by his able workmanship in the library-all of these will aid PAUL GARDNER in his attempt to obtain a job as a translator. A SpanishiFrench major, Paul has shown himself an accomplished linguist, and backed by the social Hare he possesses, will certainly go far. French poetry, French wine and French women all hold a strange fascination for AMBROSE GARIANO. Perhaps this is why the sloe-eyed gentleman has majored in French. But since he knows Italian too and has played in the romantic play The Fan, it would seem that all things romantic appeal to him. And that goes for the moon too. Could be that CONNIE GIMBEL is strictly a home body what with majoring in home economics, devoting sweltering sum- mer afternoons to making baby faces glow, and keeping tabs on the calorie contents of Beta Sigma Omicron lunch trays? Connie has worked as publicity chairman for Lens-Horizons, secretary for her sorority, and vice-president of the Home Eco. club. MARTIN GOODMAN is the fellow who lives the motto, If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well. Probably due to his training in physics, he is precise and accurate to the small- est detail in work, or in discussions on any topic under the sun. This trait is also responsible for his success as a stamp and photography collector. IRENE GORSKI is a Spanish major with a vengeance. Beside a solid stock of academic credits in that department, she was thrice chairman of Titiriteros, dramatic branch of La Sociedad Hispanica, vice-president of the Spanish Club on two occasions, and participant in Pan-American Day, and Christ- mas Fiesta programs. In spite of a lackadaisical and pre-occupied air LEILA GOTT- LIEB is the kind of girl who gets a lot of things done. In addition to always knowing the answer in her Speech classes Leila is a member of the Queens College Radio Workshop, the Playshop, and was in the l94l Varsity Show. BOB GRACE has given the best years of his life fthose in Queens College maybe?j to bringing order out of the chaos of the social science lab. He is a disciple of the trinity of the political science department, Bradley, Long and Marx. He is also a member of the Newman Club, and sports the blue-with-gold- emblem jacket of the Alpha Lambda Kappas. Rx We all know about LEO GREENiS wonderful sense of humor even concerning his falling hair and IA draft classification. On the debating team and ex-president of the International Relations Club, Leo enjoys public speaking and political ac- tivities and believes himself enough of a liar to succeed in both. He's admittedly fond of tennis, beer and women. Because she has a repressed passion for the footlights, which she fears may at some time burst out uncontrolled, VIOCELYN GREENBAUINT practises tomato dodging in her leisure mo- ments. She is an Art major, and expects to work as a costume designer or interior decorator. Full of pep, push and go, CORINNE GRIFFEN is an active speci- men of that rare animal, the female Mathematics major. Fu- ture high school math students are in for a surprise when Miss Griffen begins dealing with the perpetually dry science. She'll disprove another tenet about teachers too, according to that frat pin she's wearing. HERB GRossMAN makes life complex for himself by tangling periodically with the peculiarly intricate brand of formula that the math department specializes in. And he evidently doesn't mind a bit, for he even puts in some extra out-of-class time with the Mathematics Club. Herb's particular claims to fame include carrying a briefcase just like the profs, and playing chess for hours on end in the cafeteria. View ll Nmw Badminton champ M ORRIS GRUMET is a member of the famous Dead End Boys gang, and as a master hand at tea-poring, quite indispensable at their campus functions. This comes, obvi- ously, from long practice with test tubes, and retorts garnered in the chem labs. He has also done more than his bit in help- ing the DEBs light their way to the lead in intramural basketball. HELEN GRUSKY is more or less of the Queens College theatuh. She appeared in some of the first Playshop productions, and in various speech department radio shows. Off campus Stretch, who measures a neat 4 feet 10 inches, belongs to various theatrical organizations, and represented QC. at the Cornell University Summer Theatre. EMILIA GUARINO can be found every afternoon after school asking customers if they want Lustrotone finish in their cloth- ing QKent stores please notej . She goes for the Great American Sport, can really swing a bat. Unlike most college girls Emilia declares for a home and fireside instead of the career woman stuff. HEYVITT GURNEE is a quiet, studious Economics major whose studying has borne fruit, he has made the Dean's List, and is a member of the Social Science Honors Seminar, besides being a very active member of the Economics Club. Anyway he's got his heart in his work which he hopes is to teach economics. F? Fd-g... dw, it lf! if Ulf CQ? HITLERI Z is LIL GUTTENBURG has been gathering experience for an acting career ever since she came to Queens College what with work- ing in the Playshop, acting in the First Varsity Show, announ- cing, writing and performing in one of the American Musical Festival broadcasts and majoring in Speech. OH? campus, she continues service in the cause working with theatrical groups. A Inan of varied accomplishment, KARLIIEINZ HAAG has been, among other things, president of Delta Gamma Epsilon, editor of Das Tor and first man to win a bout for the Queens College Intercollegiate Boxing Team. He has also lent his mellow baritone to many German Club productions and majored in Biology. PETER HARRISON used to be pretty open-mined about what he was going to do with the tidbits of economic fact garnered after four years in that department. The Army changed all that. And while they may give him a chance to play tennis, swim, and bowl, the Hgirls chiefly part of his extra-curricular inter- ests seems in for strict restrictions. CURTIS HEIMSTADT has inscribed his name deathlessly in annals, on account he is champ punter Qlike with a footballj and holds a record or something. When he is dragged off the football Held he goes to math classes amiably enough, even plans to be a statistician, and writes and makes history for the Alpha Phi Omegas. L? K9 Though not believing Woman's place is in the home, DOR- OTHY HENN is your girl, if you're in the market for a tasty dish, culinarily speaking. She learned how under the tutelage of Miss Gram in the Home Economics department, and after graduation will sally forth to tell the world what to eat and why. Identified by a distinctive giggle, a propensity to blush fre- quently, and thoroughly, and an ultra-femininity that chal- lenges description, DONNA HENRICHS has made a place for herself on the Queens College campus. Class time finds her in the History rooms studying for a career in government service. It's not pride that causes WESLEY HERBoRN's stiff neck. Friends say it's caused by continually jerking it back and forth in the effort to see co-eds passing by. Maybe it's to be expected of the president of Delta Sigma Chi, but nevertheless unseemly in a Mathematics major who will do actuarial and statistical Work later. Life is real, life is earnest as far as GARSON HERTZEL is con- cerned. Always does each assignment, and on time, even if he is a Political Science major, which is really showing strength of character, or something. Garson used to have a hand in German Club doings, actually Wrote something in that lan- guage which was published in Das Tor. 37? l -R Spending most of his outside time in the Y.M.C.A. DICK Hiiss insists he only works there. God knows life at the Y ain't likely to be the same as with the Phi Eta Chi boys on beer night. Not that Dick isn't a fine upstanding character. And to prove it, he frequently gets down to serious business in his math classes, and intends to join the coast guard after graduation. RosE HIBSCHMAN goes in for her major in a big Way. At vari- ous times she's been president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer of the Mathematics Club, although it's only geom- etry and not calculus or algebra that she enjoys. She harbors a secret ambition to play the piano, but at present contents herself with clarinet tooting. BOB HIGGINS is the little boy with the tenor voice, talent for musical composition and a blonde young model on his arm. According to Mr. Gries, Bob and Cicero are fellow Romans since they both sling the dead language with the same sort of vengeance. And the modern Romance languages come easily too. EVELYN HIGGINS has hair like the Lorelei, and a tongue like them too, to the general hilarity of her friends. Evelyn is an artist Without being arty, sews a mean seam, if the clothes she Wears are any indication, puts up with a high school class in the name of practise teaching, and turned in a nifty job on Silhouette art work. If N, I 43 'ADUTCHH HOEFER was a wow on the Queens College Basket- ball Team before he turned professional and left the amateur ranks forever. Now he spends many an evening carrying the ball for his supper as well as his team. An Economics major, he is an admirable example of the skillful blending of brains and brawn. WARREN HOFFMAN is the blond Adonis of Queens College whose interest in life is his orchestra, which has netted him the many silver loving cups that grace the Hoffman home- stead. But Putsie, as he is styled by his brothers in Delta Iota Chi, will eschew the muse for statistical work after his mathe- matics training. A penchant for eating candy in lab, a battered jalopy moving most of the time on the sheer good will of its owner, an infec- tious laugh and a pleasing rotundity all add up to HERB HOR- OXVITZ. And the sum total is one of the most likeable people in the Biology department, or even on the whole campus. LEONARD HORXVI'FZ insists he has no eccentricities despite years of Psych tests which convinced all other Psychology majors that they were raving lunatics. Lenny enjoys his major im- mensely, hopes to go into personnel work and shows great ability as president of the Psychology Club. As for the great outdoors-Len won the Tennis Intramurals in 1939. gggixf... EE all it is fa i ,,r,C,.D gs . M. ,Aa mozocv One of the three music honor students, NIARY INNES has on more than one occasion brought down the house with her original compositions, but plans to teach other people's music. Blonde and blue-eyed, bright and smiling, a sports enthusiast, and an all round good egg, Mary is a far cry from the La Boheme type of musician and we're glad of it. Active, fun loving, lNlARIE IRVING has entered with zest into almost all campus activities. Secretary of the Inter-Fraternity Council, vice-president of Theta Nu, Executive Council Committee of the I.F.C. total just a few of her accomplish- 111611tS. LUCILLE JAVITZ is well known for her work on the Civil Liber- ties Committee and in the Anthro-Sociology clan. Her ambi- tion is a job in Mexico doing social work of some sort. She likes all things cultural, like boogie-woogie for instance, or square dancing. How's the Mexican brand of boogie-woogie, we wonder. PAUL JOHNSON manages to be becomingly modest about a moustache that is clearly the envy of half the people on the campus, although he has been seen stroking it reflectively when meditating about life. Moreover, Paul has the sensitive face of the Machlis variety of musicians, music is his major, and he'll wow them with Chopin. Looks as if he might tear off a mean rhumba, and does. fs l D 1 if' J -'M r l X ll M X Na. 'ARTS HND QQpN:K-PS Former president of Iota Alpha Pi, LILLIAN KAUFMAN has a host of varied interests, like making her own clothes, bowling, handicraft, and nursery work. These latter two tie in with Lila's chosen field, kindergartening. If a nimble mind, facile speech, and a sympathetic manner are any qualifications, she should do as well in this as she has in everything else. Chemistry claims BOB KEELER as its own, since it's both his hobby, to wit: Chem Club membership, student aid in the labs, and also his future work, God and the Army willing. However, he dissipates extra energies shooting a bow and arrow in archery intramurals, and writing the history of his fraternity, the Roarers. MARCELIA KIDD is the gal responsible for the success of the many library parties she's organized-maybe this comes under the heading of preparing herself for the librarian career she's selected. Outside the library, and she does come out some- times, Marcelia is a hiking-biking enthusiast, even to fixing bicycle flats. ' ANNE KIPNIS handles the social significance angle for Iota Alpha Pi, and is well known for her earnest work on behalf of the Civil Liberties Committee. But Anne's interests range from politics to the ballet, from psychology to music, and incidentally include hostelling, and getting a lucra- tive but legitimate job. QB JERRY KLEIN has had the physical, mental and moral stamina to withstand the cloying effects of the superabundance of fem- ininity in the English department. An English major from the beginning he has steadfastly refused to change his major. May- be he's not so dumb, what with a Private Breger future, very much sans the fair sex. Though his heart belongs to the arts, MEL KRANTZLER has managed to combine marginal utility with the movies and the best of Pee Wee Russel with Veblen. All the while he is prov- ing himself worthy of our Economics Department, he will probably rue the fate that deprived Aesthetics of him. A charter member of Iota Alpha Pi, lXlURIEL KROMAN evi- dently eats up the stuff that Machlis, Haywood, and Company dish out, because she plans to continue the study of music at graduate school after leaving Queens. Music figures in her extra-curricular work too, with membership in the Band, Women's Glee Club, Chorus and the A Cappella Choir. RUTH KROINIBERG has been for years the only person on the campus who could find her way unaided through the welter of Dr. Bradley's correspondence Qincluding the good doctor himselfl and as such is indispensable. Ruth is an English student, but at present is majoring in a certain Poly Sci guy. is xx? HELEN KRUPKA's activities run the gamut from archery and the sports night programs to participation in the Poetry Read- ing Festival, and the Social Dancing Club. Helen is an A building girl, the home of all good English majors, and she plans on preparing for a teaching career. YVhile ANNE KULIS,S vocation is history and teaching for she wants it to bej her avocations border on the aesthetic. She collects reproductions of great pictures, and records of great music, meanwhile making a little of her own singing in the Chorus and Glee Club. And just for variety, she took part in the Pan-American festivals. SELMA KUTNER admits to writing poetry on the sly but blames it on the fact that she's an English major. She managed circu- lation and advertising for Lens-Horizons and worked on the Varsity Show. Selma's favorite pastime is dancing and the exciting etceteras that go with it. Tall, good-natured BEN KUZNICK has majored in Chemistry preparatory to entrance into med school. As a member of the Chemistry Club he follows his scientific bent outside class as well as in. Well known for his punning ability, and his Dutch uncle advice, Ben is good company in the lab, or in extra- curricular activities. Q6 R' -A K X, x X 6 Q 93 , T ai it lb Bellevue's loss was Q.C.'s gain when LIL LALLI gave up nurs- ing to rejoin her colleagues. Serene and unruflled, Lillian leaves no wake of noise behind her but a steady stream of friendship and appreciation. A Biology major, she possesses all the characteristics of a real scientist. LILLIAN LARI, perennial class secretary, has snagged herself a Fordham scholarship along with Q.C.'s most eligible men. A member of Theta Nu, a QC Scholar, president of numerous committees, Lil wants her life to be part of the big things that are happening in the world. And she really means it. Though his usual habitat is a science lab, YVARREN LAUBE has found time for other interests. He was one of the founders of the Roarers in 1939. Like most of his fellow Roarers, he is also a member of the Kampus Killers Athletic Club, cur- rent cup contenders for intramurals. His favorite sports are softball, football, bowling and skating. RUTH LERMAN's out of class doings are strictly on the social side. She was president of Upsilon Phi, and its representative on the IFC. Committee member for the '39, ,40 NVinter Wfonderland Formal, and the Junior and Senior Proms, stage manager for the Fan, and in general one of the bright young things around the Speech department. F7 D S 'C ..l 'X' 35 ALBERT LEVIN lives under the constant threat of mob violence. As a student worker for the Phys Ed. department he has been forced to referee or umpire almost every intramural sport. With cries of Kill the Umpire ringing in his ears, Al has adopted a fatalistic attitude, goes about his business in science labs with hardly any evidence of the strain. LILO LEVINE is one of those incredible people for whom the delta X over delta y hocus pocus, which throws the rest of us into a dither, holds no terrors. Or in other words, Leo is a Mathematics major who has managed not to lose his sense of humor. Louis LEVINE is one of the six o'clock scholars on the other side of the campus. Lou wears glasses, but just to look studi- ous. A loyal Alpha Gamma, he divides his time between Student Council, the Orchestra, co-eds, beer, the Chemistry Department and sleeping in lectures. The belle of the History Department, VIVIAN LEVINE was expressly designed to meet the demands of the progressive school seventh grader who wants his women pretty. Vivian is remembered too for the time she used a cane to get around with fa sprained anklej , for her work on the Queens College Committee for Democratic Defense, and as secretary of the History Club. 'Q lm f Q F,-af.,- Items: one lock of hair, one smile, two eyes-all saying mis- chief. But wicked physiognomy, a penchant for amazing furniture, and a perfect rhumba to the contrary notwithstand- ing, RUTH LIEB has found time to achieve honors in English, work for the Silhouette, the Poetry Club, the Commencement Committee, and Senior Committee. Seemingly quiet History major JEAN LITTLE has startled people more than once with a sudden exhibition of really sparkling wit. A music lover, jean has been known to ac- company a certain history teacher's bombastic remarks on world affairs with a quiet humming of appropriate music, to the complete devastation of the class. A terror in a pitcher's box, Chemistry major TONY LOCASTRO is a man of whom Delta Sigma Chi can be justly proud. May- be that steam ball won't help Tony in medical school, but certainly that handsome pan and ability as a chemist, plus a terrific, if potential, bedside manner, will. GLORIA LOHSEN, inhabitant of A Building in the parlance, or English major to the uninitiated, intends to go into teach- ing for an after college career. But, not to develop mind over matter, Gloria twice took part in Sports Night programs, and cuts a rug with the best of them in the Social Dancing Club. J 1 l Besides an English that isn't exactly broken, ANTOINETTE LORD1 manages to make herself understood in F rench, Italian, and very likely, the seventeen dialects of China. At any rate she puts in a lot of time teaching the high school kids how it's done. She also is president of the Italian Club, and a Beta Epsilon Omega girl. BIARTHA LORENZ is one career girl who will be able to run her job and his home with one hand tied behind her back. Literary editor of the popular H orizons, and president of her sorority, she has found time to teach Sunday school, win the love and respect of little children, and learn to bake a mean cherry pie. Soft spoken, always smiling, BLAIR LUKE is Pipe and Bowl's ambassador of good will. An usher at Kate Smitlfs radio show, Blair would like to continue on the program in an announcing capacity - surefire for television. Combines his speech talents with athletic achievements and curly hair. DONALD LUM walks around the campus with the best set of teeth in captivity anchored firmly in his jaw bone. And has learned to move his mouth nicely around them in the speech department, where he has a finger in the Playshop and radio program pies. Donald is also a brother in Phi Kappa Rho, and he's still a nice chap. BTN ' 1 f f3 HOPE LUNIN has a gift of gab, and a mind of her own, both of which she has been able to use to advantage in her sociology work, where she is taking honors. Hope's extra-curricular diversions run to business managing Silhouette, working on Crown circulation, and being president of her sorority, Iota Alpha Pi. FRANK MACK is one of the happiest fellows that ever hit QC. Always has a smile and a good word for everybody. Mainstay of the Knights for two years, he has the fascinating habit of drawing hearts and arrows and I-love-you-trulies all over his eco notes. Shakespeare, Keats or any of the many English literuses hold the interest of English majors, and this member of a dwindling and valiant species of male, ROBER1' lNlAIN. But far from being an ivory-tower scholar Bob mixes the social with the schol- astic as an active member of Pipe and Bowl fraternity. lXlARTIN AIARKOXVITZ is characteristically gloomy, even when he is busy doing a snappy conga. Renowned in intellectual circles for his success as a historian, he has also engaged in almost every intramural sport on the campus for the glory of Alpha Phi Omega. His susceptibilities are colds and a certain brunette. sn Q .- Q it fx P0 . . da, . ,a 'Ng 22 BIILDRED MAYER. This brunette is literally the queen of the dancing girls, judging by her gay appearance at our numerous Friday night shindigs. Phi Sigma is graced by her presence Qremember her as a little girl pledgeePj and her quiet evenings at home, if existent, are divided between listening to Bee- thoven and boogie woogie. Glamor Girl BETTY ANN NICCANN copped the title of Miss Silhouette in l94l, and Queens College Queen in 1942 right from under the nose of some thousand co-eds, and she's just the girl to do it. Betty's something of an all round girl, and her interests led her to be a participant in the varsity show, a basketball player, a member of A Cappella Choir, and secretary to Alpha Omega Sorority. KAY MCGARVEY is the high kids' answer to a prayer. An English major she hopes to teach when she finishes at Q.C. Soft-spoken, with a definite sense of humor, and a perpetual twinkle in her eye, she can make even The Idylls of the King fascinating to her students. KATHLEEN lxlCCiREEVY, a choir boy face-but a pixie at heart. This fast-talking Victory Girl has a lilt in her voice and a preoccupation about Irish little people as far as her English themes are concerned. The boys at Q.C. don't know what she's made of--never got near enough to find out. MARTIN MCHUGH. Mad as a George Price Cartoon, withal a gentleman and a scholar. The only Political Science major who got along without throwing it. Competent with a needle Qnote self darned corderoysj this Phi Omega Alpha funny man will go places -if only one of the more elite bars on 3rd Avenue. lVIIlVII MENDELOYV has a gleam in her eye, thirty credits in his- tory, and a desire to be a teacher. Now and again she has been known to warble a tune with and without the Glee Club. And, going from art to the woild outside, Mimi has done her bit also for the Queens College Committee for Democratic Defense. A conscientious student, GERTRUDE NIENDELSOHN gave her all for the Bios-Logos Society, is interested in all forms of speech, especially correction work with youngsters. Has the unique distinction of talking her way into the National Hospital for Speech Disorders-a feat which was impossible even for mem- bers of the college faculty. A timid girl of varied accomplishments, EDITH MERTL under- stands and speaks five different languages-English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Czechoslovakian. In addition she is interested in biology, literature, art and music. Sewing is just one of her many hobbies, and more than once Edith was seen wearing some tasty little number she whipped up herself. KJ -a DORIS NIICHAELIS is a Usolid citizen, who majored in Sociology and used to want to do social work. But since her recent marriage Doris is concentrating on the Family Relations course, and it looks like she has decided that home-making will be her new career. EUGENE lX'lICKIEYVICZ is a mean man with a slide rule, and no slouch when it comes to a bunsen burner and retort either. Eugene gives his all in the chem department, all in the inter- est of medicine, intends to continue with it at medical school after graduation. Meanwhile, we will always remember that frenzied polka of his at the Class Night party. Though best known for his playwrighting achievements, KENNETH lX1ILDENBERGER,S chief pride is his Kampus Killers. As president, promoter, and athlete he built this motley group of ballplayers into a leading intramural group. He was also one of the founders of the Roarers Fraternity in 1939. BERNARD lxlILLER is the kind of 'collitch man' one can call a serious conscientious student, with a straight face. He takes his History-Economics concentration to heart, to wit, his membership in the History and Economics Clubs, and the Education Club too, ,cause Bernie wants to be a teacher. Will V if if QPDLG. OQC UQQD Glen lijfff? s 5'! D' 'FIP7' fa RR? QB It's been rush, rush, rush with HARRY lXllLLIiR, president of Phi Omega Alpha, Archery Intramural Champion, speedball champ, basketball, softball, swimming, and horseshoe intra- murals, and just so it isnyt a case of matter over mind, Dean's Lister, and crack economics student. In the light of all this Harry deserves to be congratulated for finding time to have the mumps this last year. More than once Milliken the Madman has scared the pants off the habitats of the campus, streaking around in jon a very asthmatic motorcycle, we only hope the gas shortage will fix all that. Otherwise JOHNNY BIILLIKEN is a lounge lizard, a Mathematics major, and a Delta Gamma Epsilon boy, with the Chess, Bridge, Mathematics and French Clubs, the Crown and Track Team thrown in on the side. BENJAINIIN lX'llNOTTA is another one of the test tube and retort boys from over the science labs, the chemistry one. Quiet, but not too quiet, earnest, but not too earnest, Ben gets his work done, and his playing too. Member of the Chem Club, active in intramurals, Ben is a Roarer, and therefore a Kampus Killer to boot. SHIRLEY BIONBLAT belongs to that Queens College elite - the people who make the Dean's List. A Speech major, Shirley's outside activities plainly indicate the interest she has in the subject. They include acting as secretary for the Queens Debaters, and participation in the Intercollegiate Reading Festival in l940. 5 x X w , Liao NADEL is going to take out his yen for mathematical gym- nastics on statistical data after graduation. Like all Mathe- matics majors, he's a chess fiend. For relaxation, and after juggling the quantum theory, you need relaxation, Leo goes in for tennis, and swimming, probably on the theory that he's got a body as well as a mind. PEARL NECIIEMIAS is make-up chairman for the Playshop, and belongs to Silver Skull. She is also working on the Senior Week Committee. Pearl loves to dance, and can be found any day Qbut only during lunch hourj doing the lindy in the upper lounge. ALVA NORTH came to us from the University of North Caro- lina and has been a member of Sigma Delta Chi Sorority since her first semester at Queens. Alva's doing her bit for defense as listening post attendant in the Registrar's Oflice. She is also one of Miss Sprake's indispensable library aides. Irene and her violinf' is the billing of Music major IRENE NOVAK on the QC campus. Second to music, style conscious Irene, an Alpha Delta Pi-er, delights in designing her own clothes, still finds time to work on the circulation staff of the Crown, in Varsity Shows, and the Orchestra. To adequately prepare herself for a future in the consular service, TANIA NOVIKOFF has studied political sciences, and languages. Not her least important qualification is a genuine friendliness that has led Tania, a member of Lambda Omi- cron, into many out of class activities such as the Spanish Club and International Relations Club, Los Titiriteros, and the Chorus. ' HANK NYCHKA is the proof of the suspicion that not all scientists are allergic to the Wiles of Wimmen. While uggling test tubes with one hand - he eats lemon pie with the other. He likes bowling and is firmly convinced that a man's place is in the dog-house. r People have learned to harness AD Pi-er lNlARION 0BENCHAIN,S explosive energy where it does the most good, Le., controlling Crown, Silhouette and Inter-Fraternity Council finances. She balances books when no one else can, but with a filled up date book, it's a toss up as to Whether she will be allowed to go into business, like she says, or not. The thing about BILL OECHSNER is, that at one time or another hels played every piano on the campus, there are nine altogether. Music is his chief diversion, writing as Well as playing it. And the thing it diverts him from, incidentally, is the regulation burden of 24 credits in a major, for Bill, History. fi? O EQ 65001069 Pretty JEANNE Omioxr practically hibernates in Building E where she strenuously majors in Chemistry preparatory to a career as an industrial chemist. However as a member of Sigma Psi Sorority and an avid music lover Jeanne follows social as well as intellectual pursuits. Then, too, there's that guy in lVashington. Six foot two-er XVALLY PETERS looks like a mooring mast on the baseball field, and is pretty impressive when boxing too. Maybe Mfally, a rather quiet, unpretentious guy, wants to keep in the pink for that future job as an economist in Hfashington. A member of Phi Omega Alpha, ROBERT PETERSON is the typical outdoor boy: loves to rough it and is a swell cook. He enjoys nothing better than zealously disrupting and rearrang- ing his old Ford car, and is most admired for that calm, un- ruflled manner, and the skill with which he handles difhcult instructors in history and all other departments. NORMAN PHILLIPS is the composer and director of the music for the '41 and ,42 Varsity Shows. He also shows talent for singing light opera, and is a member of Peers and Peris. On the athletic side, he has won a major letter for running on the Track Team. f M Wk f if- Iii illffz, , x-! ' CLO l Kc. iii Rig ARTS mug QQHFTS ll W3 l l DOROTHY PLEAU is the original girl with the dreamy eyes. She is an art major, student teaches now, wants to just plain teach afterward. Dotty is a photography fiend, likes to make her own clothes, likes to wear them, likes the Art Club, of which she is a member much in evidence. AIONSIEUR JOSEPH Po1RoT, unwitting originator of the Poirot theorem of logic, wants to be an actuary for an insurance company. Why, God only knows-but his draft number will fix all that. Anyhow, the Army will give Joe a chance to be in his great outdoors, which is more than Metropolitan Life will do. You know ELLIE POULTON - she's the tall, dark and beautiful one. A History major, shels made a little of her own in Queens College. Vice-president of Lambda Omicron and all in all one of the more popular young members of the Macy set. SALLY PSCHENITZA, first lady of the Queens College stage, is a regular little trouper. As cadet speech teacher, president of the Playshop, member of the Queenls Huslmnrl and Night of ulzmuary l61fh casts, and radio actress of the America Speaks series, our gal Sal has never been known to turn in a bad per- formance. 109 AL It takes three strong men to hold ED QUANDER down, but it's worth it. Runs to boots and riding breeches sartorially, and at the drop of a hat, with a horse under him, he'll pick it up with his teeth. Takes his German studies seriously enough to drink enormous quantities of beer. Or maybe it's because he's a Phi Omega Alpha. Quiet and serious she may be, but GENEVIEVE QUIGLEY is nevertheless a very versatile young lady. She is interested in sports, willing to work, and loyal, as her sorority sisters in Beta Sigma Omicron can testify. Gen may be identified around the campus by her radiant smile and running walk. A walking edition of lXIademoiselle's college issue from boots to slacks, to braids-and back again. As a sprightly soph, CHRIS QUINBY became socially conscious and traded in her Shakespeare for Thurman Arnold. A spirited conversation- alist who's added zest to Alpha Omega and made Canrlirla look like a stand-in for Katie Hepburn. A three year sojourn in Spain, plus a decided linguistic ability probably steered FRANK QUINN into the Spanish department when he was shopping around for a major. Next to Spanish, philosophy is his greatest interest, and he delights in a good hot philosophical argument, which can be had most any time in the Philosophy Club of which he is a member. Red-haired JENNIE RADUS is an art major with an artistic temperament to prove it. She spends most of her time in the art lab, is a standout on the campus for her lovely clothes, which run to sweaters and skirts fdon't we allj. Maybe a little hard to know at first, Jennie is well worth the effort. BOB RAND is Kid Social Significance of Queens College. As Student Counciller, chairman of the Civil Liberties Com- mittee, and president of the A.S.U. he's collected enough nickels and dimes for YVorthy Causes, to refund the national debt. He's also collected a snappy average, some honors in Poly Science and a scholarship to Syracuse. Nice work, Robert. Even before graduation JACK IQANOFSKY got caught in the toils of circumstance g left school to take a government job in Philadelphia along with several other Q.C. men. While he was here Jack studied psychology, was much in evidence at Dead End Boys soirees, and raised a mighty baritone in the A Cappella Choir. Following a boyhood ambition CHARLIE REASS spends his afternoons juggling formulas in the chem labs at Q.C. He is also adept at juggling figures, witness his treasurership of Sigma Kappa Chi. When not being eminently practical, Charlie makes with the music in the Q.C. Band. W ,. lu X R v-if-L, rf isa Q., if wwlilh 'WU' is Three interests have made up SAvER1o REDo's college life, science, writing, and the Roarers. His literary ability was proven in the Poetry Wfriting class: his interest in science led him to found the Pre-Medical Society, his loyalty to the Roar- ers is obvious-for he's been president or secretary of that organization for lo these many years. 'iW'hat a riot REED, unwitting Economics major, end man on the Pipe and Bowl cheering squad, with a few good ones about a parrot, Lou is grooming himself for the Navy blue and gold, and plans to be a pleasant surprise for Col. Knox. It is bruited about among literature students that URSULA REYNOLIJS writes plays on the quiet, and while she doesn't admit it, her chief occupation these past two years has been reading other peoples. Otherwise she is president of Theta Sigma, on Senior Ball Committee, and probably the only unbespectacled English major in captivity. A shy, retiring guy with the weight of the world on his well- tailored shoulders. Maybe LESLIE RHEINFELD can blame it all on sociology. Whether it's Weltschinerz brown eyes, or the few very distinguished silver hairs on his temple, the gals all want to mother Leslie, or just want. C we Ti it 41.51,- KJ Mf You'd never suspect it to look at her, but JEAN RINIOLIJI is an old hand at pearl diving. At least that's what she used to do at the VVorld's Fair. All in all she's a pretty athletic gal, what with skiing in New Hampshire, and Tennis Teaming at QC. In less energetic moments Jean is active in Theta Nu, the Silhouette circulation staff, and the Glee Club. RUTH ROGERS is the girl who eats her desserts first and then throws out the rest of the meal. Though she looks like the fragile type, she swats a mean baseball. She is on the Dean's List and on the Horizons staff and prexies the Square Dancing Club. Iota Alpha Pi president BLANCHE ROTHBERG is probably 21 good example of the well rounded personality. Intellectually her interest in sociology has led her to the vice-presidency of the Anthro-Sociology clan. She did a neat job as social chair- man for her sorority, and to top it off, cuts quite a figure on a tennis court. The leading light in the founding of Alpha Delta Pi on Queens Campus, MARGARET RUST has twice served as prexy. The despair of all her friends is her easy nonchalance. If it doesn't get done today-tomorrow will dof' Favorite topic of conversation-the eternal Yanks, And she knows batting averages inside out. . V vm fiifl lvl gi? l CWDLG OQC QQD Man of the hour, MIKE SANTOPOL0 acquired enough poise serving as president of both the Senior Class and the Student Council to do the almost incredible. As the tale goes, he non- chalantly walked up to President Klapper and said casual-like '6Paul, I'd like a few words with you in the library. Savoir- faire we calls it. GLADYS ScHAERR's interest in college has been mathematics, she has held all the oilices in the Mathematics Club. She likes tennis, riding, knitting, and developing pictures Qmainly those taken by an Air Corps friend of his friendsj . President of the Chemical Society and city-wide Biology Honor Student GRACE SCHAFFEL exhibits a How of energy that would floor an ordinary student. Besides spending six days a week in a lab she Finds time now and again to tear off a corking good game of tennis, badminton or basketball. She has plenty of stamina for the graduate work she intends to do in chemistry. Weight-lifter HAL SCHIER might be considered somewhat of a threat to the supremacy of Charles Atlas. What with tennis, bowling and cycling he really is engaged in muscle building. But far from being muscle bound between the ears he is an able pre-med student and shines socially as an active member of Sigma Kappa Chi. if X, x. c A FQXQ RUTH SHEIM is the girl who carries around a thesaurus to look up synonyms for her speech courses. She takes great pride in her culinary arts, although none of her sorority sisters in Phi Tau Alpha have attempted to prove or disprove the point. Ruth, incidentally, is an English major aiming at teaching. An undying affection for his 1932 Chevvie has inspired in Biologist BIORTON SCHNEIDER an interest in fossils and perpet- ual motion machines. He nurses a frustrated ambition to in- troduce in the Biology Club a program to produce by muta- tion unbreakable rear axles. His future students will profit from his keen sense of humor. ARTHUR SCHNEIER is evidently a man of many lovesg badmin- ton, bowling, woodcarving and woodworking, stamp collect- ing, photography, Glenn Miller records, and his automobile are numbered among them. One would never expect this seething emotional life under the calm exterior so suitable to political scientists and would-be government administrators. You can always find EDITH SCHUMACHER in the library-not studying especially. But working or just spending leisure time. It's her club room. The rest of her non-class time is spent with the Phi Tau Alpha girls or at Queens Bridge, do- ing interviewing work for the sociology department. I 2 SKA? Kill. 3 RANIQTTE SCHWARTZ takes away with her, besides sundry esoteric bits of knowledge about English literature, a fund of amusing anecdotes. She likes people and stories about them. And people return this affection, which state of affairs should stand her in good stead when she goes on to graduate studies in Psychology. Eccentric is the word for RENEE SCHWARTZ-but pleasantly so. She lets off steam by piping Wheee! in her best soprano voice. A B.A. in sociology, and a nice disposition are her qualifications for social work after college. And in case it's relevant one might note her activities in Phi Tau Alpha, the Anthro-Sociology Clan and the Psychology Club. EILEEN SHERIDAN is marked by her easy conversational prowess, her sincerity and her XfVest Point engagement ring. During her four years at Queens College she has been vice- president of Alpha Omega Sorority, a member of the Inter- fraternity Council, a passer-through the rare halls of eco- nomics, and a member of the Newman Club. lX'lALCOLlNI SIEGEL claims to be Queens College's foremost ex- ample of the practicality of the natural sciences, he has ap- plied them in his amours with consistent success. Malcolm has made less extraordinary but equally efficient use of his training on our Math Team, and in the Chemistry and Math Clubs. 5 I tc if J Chemistry major JULIUS SIELSKI is well known on campus as an organizer of the basketball squad and for the happy-go- lucky disposition that goes well with his nickname, Chub!,' His brothers in Alpha Sigma Epsilon claim his personality exhibits a delicate balance between complete relaxation and intense activity. Neatest trick of the week stuff. Dynamo DAVE SINOWVITZ, who electrified the campus for years as editor-in-chief of the Crown, class oflicer and Student Coun- cil member on the Reform ticket. Made the Honors Seminar as an Economics major, but newspapers are his real Held, if only because as publicity man for the college he's able to bully the faculty like nobody else. Conscientious, industrious, eager to please, lXlORTY SLEVEN is the answer to a college instructor's dream. He belongs to the History and Economics Clubs, and has also taken an ambitious part in intramural sports. He hopes to get a Civil Service job. A Queens College aesthete, REGINA SLUDOCK is happiest when singing in the chorus, seeing a ballet, or hearing an opera. She is mad for Strauss waltzes, and wants to become a librarian. . . . lllogical, but true. Anyhow, Strauss to the contrary not- withstanding, Regina has the conscientiousness, preciseness, and eiliciency of which librarians are made. Wa if LoU SMERAICS friends insist he has no vices, except maybe he's a paddle tennis fiend, he won the college championship at it. Lou is pretty active in intramural sports generally, tears off an inning or two with his brother Dead Enders, and fools around the biology and chem labs for days on end. A Boy Scout for years, LARRY SMIRLOCK is always prepared. Maybe that's how he got to be a QC Scholar. A boon to li- brary circulation, Larry is generally seen carrying a bulging brief-case. He hopes to enter the diplomatic service, but right now divides his time between A.L.K. and the Student Council. HARRY SMITH is not content with studying chemistry all by himself, he wants to tell the world about it, the world being any high school class he can get in front of. Harry participates in the complex activities of the Radio Club, takes pictures for Silhouette, and was twice vice-president of Delta Gamma Ep- silon. JOHANNA SINIITH, a small brunette in a big way, was often seen behind the library desk during her early semesters. She is crazy about dancing, dogs, and crossword puzzles. Jo is one of the Delta Chi tribe, a Newman Club member, and a ma- jor in English. U eg W When the other biology students come staggering out of four hour labs looking like the Wrath of God, lN1ARTHA SOHIWER is her impeccably neat, unruflled self. Which is pretty fortunate for Martha, who wants to be a lab technician after graduation. And she's evidently got her heart in it because spare times she takes a busman's holiday with the Biology Club. Vice-president of Sigma Psi, member of Silhouette staff, and earnest scientist lxlARGE SPIER is a good worker. But a keen sense of humor and a lot of energy make her Want to play too. She hostels, hikes and rides for pleasure, but, definitely not a muscle gal, also dances. All of which is good material in a nursing aspirant. HELEN STARKENSTEIN is all set to consign herself to life in a sand pile with the little bead stringers of Kindergarten variety. She volunteers the information that her eyes are green, her personality black. But nobody believes it for a minute. We volunteer the information that she's death on dialect stories, a Theta Nu sister, and gay, gay fun. Physics major IRVING STEIN does far more than Work a mean slide-rule. Despite his Newtonian tendencies he is quite an intellectual cosmopolite with his philosophical interests, his Fritz-Marxian stride, his admiration for Walt Whitman, going so far in the latter as to tear off a few deathless verses himself now and again, which Lens-Horizons has been delighted to publish. as-sf -AB 'E GERTRUDE STEINBERG deserves an accolade for the excellent series of lectures the Economics Club presented this term on the War situation - a program for which she is responsible. VVorking on Senior Class Night Committee and the Senior Week Committee also, Gertie obviously believes the one about all Work and no - etc. One of the few English majors who doesn't Want to teach or write, ANITA STERN casts her vote for ofhce work after gradu- ation - but nevertheless belongs to the Poetry Club and Scribes. Anita likes horseback riding, dancing, open fireplaces and her sisters in Upsilon Phi Sorority. JOYCE SURBER has bright golden hair and a voice to match. For years now Joyce has done the vocal honors at Queens College big social doings, and gotten them. Pert and tilt nosed, Joyce belongs to Alpha Delta Pi and the English de- partment, and does more than just her bit on the Varsity Shows. In addition to his draft registration card, which he uses to prove that hels a big boy now, LEW SUTTER proudly displays a Local 802 Musicians Local card. Besides the personal satisfactions involved, Lew's talents enable him to maintain a car and the hectic social pace of Delta Gamma Epsilon. F? l pf-Z, evil., K 111115 K, 4 V l In lu! R 'yi fa 9 lk gg vinA'W - 1: DICK SYVEENEY is a good man with a test tube, a tennis racket, or a camera. It's the camera angle that interests him most privately, the test tube that concerns the profs in the chem department, and the racket that means most to the Kampus Killers, his team in intramurals. Dick is brother in the Roarers fraternity, and a member of the Newman Club. The glamor boys of Phi Eta Chi include in their ranks gay, good funster GEORGE TIINIKO. A Chemistry major, George has spent a great deal of time in E Building, but has managed to sally forth more than once from scientific seclusion, trans- formed from a hard working grub to a rah-rah college boy replete with loud socks and rumble seat technique. FRANK TOMAN is a constant source of envy to insomniacs. He can sleep anywhere, anytime-and does, on buses, trains, in lectures and even gym classes. This might seem quite strange for a chem major, Frankis friends say he absorbs chemical formulas by osmosis, it comes that easy to him. Maybe some people would crack under the strain. FRANCES TORRES manages the incredible task of teaching some twenty two kids how to play the piano, without for a minute losing the good humor that characterizes her. This, in spite of the heavy demands of student-teaching Spanish, participating in the Spanish club and the chorus. C ...HN V Tall and dark in the best john Powers fashion, JUNE TRIGGER is one gal who knows the kind of clothes to wear - and wears 'em. Maybe it comes from understanding one's psychosis, but psychologist June has an unremitting supply of energy that drops strong men in their tracks, which she uses up working for old A.D. Pi. 3 Rosy-cheeked JOHN TROY has a smile for everyone. His grin and his wit do a great deal to put others in the best of spirits Qnon alcoholicj. He's a member of the Chem Society and intends to work as a chemist. Strictly on the social side, AIIIDREY TUZAR,S accomplishments at Queens College are well known to everyone - especially her performance as star of the '41 Varsity Show-and no one disputes the fact that she's the best jitterbug on campus. Nice to look at - nicer to know, that's A.D. Pi's Audrey. JOSEPH URBANEK. This artist hibernated in UI Building, but sauntered out for Bear Mountain trips, dedication days and the like. He is polishing off his last year practice teaching at Newtown and trying to convince the kids there that he's really old enough to be in the draft. Watch yourself, guys, this boy wears a camera and you might find your antics on the front page of the News. YB if , j j QIASILIOS VLAcHos, or Val as he's known to the boys, cuts quite a figure, in a restrained sort of way, what with his Homburg, mustache et al. A pre-medical student in the Chemistry Department, a junior Pharmacist at Flushing Hospital, and a member of Delta Epsilon Chi, Val obviously has a reputation to maintain, and maintains it. JOSEPH WAAG is a lad with Zeitgeist. A History major, his ambition is to be a military strategist, and -his hobbies include a taste for decoding codes and artificial languages. Joe has obviously done his best--now it's up to the draft board. Mean- time there's always intramural football, stamp collecting, the Glee Club and Band. MIRIAM WALLACE exhibits the psychological characteristics of a schizophrenic. As chairman of the Ring and Pin Com- mittee, and member of the circulation staff of Lens-Horizons, she is quiet, dignified and efhcient. As a Theta Nu-er she is gay and vivacious. And as an Economics major she wants to go on to teaching. The president and treasurer of Alpha Alpha Sigma, RITA VVALSH has also served as secretary of the Inter-Fraternity Council. Rita is a Sociology major interested in going on with social work after graduation. She's probably an inveterate bathroom soprano, but at QC she takes it out on the Glee Club and Special Chorus. if 4 i y 1 W3 Ardent feminist RUTH WALTERS has devoted at least part of her life to encouraging women's intramural sports at Queens. A member of the Women's Intramural Council, she is a master hand at arranging tournaments, and keeping the young ladies from too enthusiastic exhibitions of hair-pulling. Handsome AL WALTHER, King of the Campus by popular ac- claim, photography editor of Silhouette and Lens-Horizons, loyal Delta Gamma Epsilon brother, and authority on fem- inine pulchritude at Q.C., is an advocate of the theory that business can be combined with pleasure. When not majoring in Chemistry, photography is his business, and he pursues it by taking pictures of pretty entering freshwomen. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her inlinite vari- ety. Tiny Alpha Omegette Rosle ELAINE W'ALsH is that Economics major who could put two and two together before she ever took a course. VV ith all the guile and charm of the Irish she says just what she thinks and makes you like it. Maybe it's not orthodox for a psychologist and would-be social worker, but JEAN l'VALZER,S heart belongs to creative writing. At least in her spare time. When pen and ink isn't available Jean talks, makes bad puns, giggles, vice-presides over Psychol- ogy Club meetings and is in general evidence on the student horizon.

As one might guess, she's a Home Economics major. But Doris isn't concerned entirely with the inner many her hobby is college dramatics, and she has contributed to the success of several Playshop productions. Fond of rich cake and good music is Education-English- Speech major MAXINE WECHSLER. Cadet teacher in the Speech Clinic, secretary of the Education Club, member of the Silhouette literary staff and Commencement and Senior Week Committees. Max looks forward to graduate study and career in education of the speech and hearing handi- capped. Somebody called ED WHITE a catalyst, which might be fighting words, if they didnlt mean that things get gay when he's around. This could be the reason why hels the present presi- dent of the Roarers. And like every other member of the fraternity, he also takes his softball with the Kampus Killers Athletic Club. Incidental intelligence: Ed's a Chemistry major, member of the Chemistry Society. Honest TOM WIELER the people's choice for class treasurer. An Economics major who is actually going to put what he learned to pratice via the Labor Department in Washington.

Eats tremend- ous lunches, lifts weights like Bullo, the Strong Man, but is enough of a softy to go for a string quartet or a concerto any day of the week. In a quiet, unobtrusive sort of way DORIS WISHART manages to do considerably more than hold her own on the Q.C. campus. One of the top flight sociology students, Doris is taking the honors seminar in that field, is a consistent Dean's Lister, a member of Theta Nu and the fiancee of an American air pilot in Australia. LUCILLE WOLF, usually known as Lou, is bursar of Phi Tau Alpha Sorority. She disagrees with anyone who says a pun is the lowest form of humor, and respectfully submits that she finds only stale puns a little difficult to swallow . . . Which gives you the idea. LILLIAN VVOLFSON says her vocational objective is to be a good citizen, certainly a paying proposition in these, or any times. Her interests in school lay, as seems to be the case with Speech majors, in the direction of the theatre, and she has performances in the Radio Workshop and in the Queens College Playshop to her credit. rj Wy s i 1 by pg 'ARTS own crmww-5 EX The inexplicable look which characterizes Psychology majors becomes especially acute with IRVING Woons. Maybe its be- cause his middle name is Arro. Dauntlessly overcoming such handicaps, he has been able to accumulate a solid academic record and an impressive number of friends. Spare time, Irv fills in with intramural activities. FREDERICK ZENZ is the Chemistry major who spends his time in lab making tea. Fred, or Fritz as he is known in the German Department, has played the part of the devil in two of Dr. Lenz's German plays-although he's pretty unsatanical otherwise, tamely playing the clarinet in the QC Band. DIANA ZINGHER is as attractive as she is intelligent, and she's intelligent enough to be a QC Scholar. Only by trying to find her can you discover the pace she sets. Diana is a Chemistry major, so she has plenty of time to exercise her natural ability for work, not that she doesn't play. CARL PRUNHUBER cleaned up for Delta Gamma Epsilon last carnival time as the most popular target in the tomato-throw- ing event. Not that we all don't love him. As a Mathematics major he learned to count to twenty without taking his shoes off, and betwixt times Carl has worn many cozy spots on the red leather lounge chairs to a frazzle. ,Rf QS Q f QB A Ilzfssertzzliovz by David Sinowitz I EEN S LLEGI AT WV I! The only exciting . . thing about Friday, UBC. 5, 1942 was the announcement that June '42 women would pick 'n' pay for their Class Night escorts by size. The only bated breaths came from uniors whose CC Comprehen- sive marks were released that day. The only arguments came from The Crown which asked for an investigation of confusion in the cafeteria, and shook its head dolefully over the exhibition of animal spirit at the previous Fridays Soph-Frosh Rush. Smilin, Johnny McGill waved his baton that night at the 3rd An- nual Wonderland Hop. The QC Debaters prepared to discuss gently the awe-inspiring topic, Should QC fraternities and sororities be abolished from the campus? It wasn't even cold enough that day for Harry Stark and Doris Meyers to walk around holding hands . . . and the Student Council nominations even passed off without the fanfare and fury of yore. Friday, December 5, l94l, was a singularly uneventful day at Queens College. 130 But the devastating smack! that momentarily tossed a nation on its ears on Sunday, December 7, 1941, erased the idyllic quiet on the little hill in Flushing. In little bunches of four, six or twenty, the men and women of Queens met Monday, December 8, 1941, to talk about Pearl Harbor, and at 12 noon when President Roosevelt broadcast, 400, perhaps 500, jammed the auditorium to listen to America's recognition of war. Tuesday, men and women still gathered in little bunches to talk, but no longer of the emotional shock of Pearl Harbor. Now they talked of concrete plans for the prosecution of a successful war. Quick to respond to the situation, the members of the college committee for civilian defense called a mass rally that afternoon. The last echo of Mr. Roosevelt's declaration had hardly quit reverberating about the auditorium when President Klapper gripped the rostrum and said: l'War has come to us. A war that will stir the very roots of our De- mocracy. V The first bomb that fell on Amer- 1 ican soil unified a democratic people and sharpened its one hope and its one thought-to beat off the marauder and establish an enduring peace. In the face of the wanton attack upon us, it is difficult to remain calm and go about our day's work. And yet this is just what we at Queens College must do for the moment, do our accustomed tasks, but do them better and do more of them until those in authority give direction to our effort. lVe are a liberty-loving people, but we are also a disciplined people who know how to take orders and work with our fellow men. YV e, as a college, shall take our place - be at the sacrifice what it may-in a co- 1.71-!,5l'!l6Hl paul K1,,y,y,,i,- ordinated plan to achieve victory. 131 HlI0EdUEI1HfDhYSk :Id and lQHHHH.FE- sources ft? a quick qraiifyiiqa IE- TURY 77 These words-President Paul Klapper's promise of Queens Col- 1ege's cooperation with its community-were hardly spoken at the first Queens College Defense Rally that afternoon, and the program was continuing with the Dean's outline of QC's contribution, when Dr. Klapper suddenly and solemnly stood up and said: Please take your belongings and go home. May God speed you. For the first stunning moment, 600 people were hushed. Then, catching the terrible import of the words although still unaware of the true reason, they quietly left. Once in the open, the siren's wailings told them better than any words: Air Raid Alert! And still there was no faltering, no wild melee to get home, and get home whatever way was the quickest way. It seemed as if each man and each woman was trying to show the other that there was nothing to fear, even if they themselves were shaking in their boots. Within twenty minutes, the entire campus was clear. 2,200 stu- dents and faculty had trekked off the grounds in the shortest possible time, with the least confusion and the most efficiency. Two cases of very mild hysteria were reported g both soon subsided. By bus, by foot, by cars that were commandeered on Kissena Boule- vard, the 2,200 were dispersed. And not until they came home did they discover that the air raid alarm was a real alarm even though the planes winging to New York were America's own fighters. 132 Un the left If Pearl Harbor wasn't enough, the air raid helped it along. Class- es as usual was as absurd as business and profits as usual should be, so Queens College buckled down to some serious honest-to-goodness work. A quick glance at any map will reveal the highly interesting infor- mation that: 1. Queens College lies between two airports of great strategic value, LaGuardia and Floyd Bennett, and 2. Queens College lies between two army forts, Totten in Bayside and Tilden in Rockaway. Problem No. l to the college that nurses 2,200 people, as a result, was precaution against enemy air attacks. It doesn't make any differ- ence if the raid is in earnest or just a token, suicide or not. A bomb by any other name still bruises. The original plan was to getthehell out of the buildings as soon as possible, but this was reversed when it became apparent that crowded ball fields are inviting targets, and that the shrapnel from our own ack ackiers might rain oler Flushing. 133 The A Cappella choir on lhe U.S.S. Prairie State. Lislening 11051. Mobilization of the 'ihuman resourcesy' of Queens College began at a furious pace two days after the Jap back-stabbing. By the scores men and Women flocked to the recruiting stations set up in Thomas Jefferson Hall. And at the end of a Week nearly l,000 students had volunteered to help in one way or another. Motorcyclists to keep in touch with police-artists to draw morale posters- ham radio operators to intercept short-wave warnings-pub licity men to stir up sentiment-all these took their places with student air raid wardens and firemen. Seasoned radio listeners to intercept air raid alarms were assigned to radios in the registrar's oflice . . . but after that Tuesday, they only heard Bach, beauteous babes and lots of blarney. Specific evidence of QC work: Thirty Mitchell Field soldiers were invited to attend a sorority hop . . . on February 22, the A Cappella Choir sang for ensigns aboard the Navy training ship, the U.S.S. Pmirie State. SPEED UP! Going full gear in its project to place its resources at the disposal of the United Nations, Queens College early in the Spring Semester announced a three-year plan to speed up education production. At the same time, disclosure was made of a new pre-engineering curriculum to facilitate the training of technical men needed so much in war industry. In the regular curriculum itself, War left its customarily vivid im- pression. Advanced Naval history, radio communication, Morse code, first aid, leadership and civilian defense took their places next to science survey and contemporary civilization. Extension courses, too, came in for their share of remodeling. Prac- tical navigation, radio, analysis of the chronicle of the war for arm- chair admirals and grandstand generals. . and fashion note Slacks were more modish too after Pearl Harbor, with 'ustilication .I and rationalization aplenty. Long-legged and skinny, or plumpy and dumpy, Queens co-eds argued-and reasonably, we suppose-that slacks were necessar ' for first aid classes. There is even the stor bruited Y Y about that Dean Kiel ' was seen Walkmf from eflferson Hall to Y 5 Whitman Hall in a pair of spotless black slacks. The editor of a local paper heard of this and demanded pictures, but the Dean demurely and firmly niX'd the idea. Slacks, she maintained-or so the story goes - were for first aid classes only and not for publicity. The editor is said to have been ver cha frined. Y S 135 Laggards for defense. E. WAS HE DY Even U11 'Natinrial Defense llay It was pretty much of a joke back in September 1941, when the faculty donned fire hats and learned to knot ropes in the city-wide drive to enlist volunteer firemen and air raid wardens. But as far back as then Queens College was demonstrating that it was not lagging in its duties as a public-minded people's college. Queens College was not caught unawares by Pearl Harbor, Dr. Barry Commoner of the Committee for Civilian Defense declared at the De- cember 9 rally. Augmenting their work as wardens and firemen, 55 faculty mem- bers surrendered part of their Christmas vacation to take an intensive training course conducted by Army, Police and Fire Department offi- cials. Before Pearl Harbor, too, four faculty members were already busy as speakers with the Oflice of Civilian Defense. 136 LAGEAHUS FUR UEFE SE The Ethics of Patrintit Hush Money But there were other ways- less formal, less ordered-by which Queens College met the challenge of the Axis. Late in the Fall term, even before December 7, Prof. Jack Hexter of the English history courses thought up the scheme called playing pushkisf' A little tired of tardy students, and a lot interested in national defense, Doc Hexter decided to assess late students one penny for every minute late to class, the revenue to go to the Dean's fund in the form of defense stamps and bonds. The scheme fired the imagina- tion of faculty and students, and only a few weeks later, a score of classes adopted the idea. Dr. Oscar Shaftel elaborated upon it slightly, and decreed that if he was late he'd pay two cents per minute. Pushkis, of course, are the little receptacles used to house the dough. Dudley Straus' push- ki was a whimsical elephant-bank, F. X. Nulty used a prosaic mayon- naise jar, while Doc Hexter was satisfied with a bottle held to- gether with adhesive tape. But it was left to Dean Kiely to add the glamorous finishing touch to the episode. Should America, the Dean wondered, profit by the wages of sin? Acknowledging 3.34 col- lected the first week by Dr. Hexter, Dean Kiely claimed that I find myself 'twixt Scylla and Charybdisf' Are the pennies, she asked, hush money, conscience money or plain penitential pence? With one breath I condemn the low estate from which the riches rise and in another I hail the brave impulse by which my treasury makes unto itself friends of the Mammon of Iniquityf' Dean Kiely finally decided to OK the patriotic device with this compromise- For that which you are, I weepg for that which you give, I rejoice -gratefullyf' 137 BU BS ljlflll TUU Y -and Hool-is for Tomorrow! . .. More than anything else, this slogan and the campaign it repre- sented captured the spirit of Queens College under arms. We, who studied at Queens College when history-making was not confined to texts, liked our classes and our book-learning. That's why we went to college. But we knew that, given the circumstances of 1942, books alone couldn't combat bullets. So we decided to raise money to buy bombs now, in 1942. And with an eye to future peace, we decided to buy the bombs with WAR stamps and bonds, to be redeemed in 1952 and buy books for our college library. Pledges of support from every nook and cranny on the campus were sent to the Student Council War Committee which organized the campaign. And on May 6, 1942, an all-student variety show was whipped up to raise funds to buy the 35750 bond which would buy 500 books for the library when it matured. THU T Ll E We've seen now how Queens College fared in the Spring semester of 1942 -its first full semester at war. Weyve seen how its students, its curriculum, its play, its discussions geared themselves to total war. But what about its students who were fighting this war on the front- line trenches - Gerhard Chiesa, one of our classmates who was at Fort Knox in May, 1942, wrote home: You donlt realize how much you miss Queens until you're away for a short while . . . Although I was never prominent in any of the affairs at the college, and probably went around with an I-don't-give-a-damn-look, I nevertheless feel that I was a part of the school, and in some respects I am still part of our school .... At present, I'm in the armored force, and like Queens, it's a new unit . . . but like Queens, it'll be the best.

We see it now. Yet we still dare to dream of a better World, We, the people. We have marched through centuries beneath the yoke of dictators. We have felt the best part of world hurt. We feel it now. Yet We still dare to dream of a better world, We, the people. I, Tom Jefferson, have dreamed of a better world. And I, Abraham Lincoln, have dreamed the same dream. And I, Walt Whitman, have told of it in poetry. And We are the people. I, who till the lields, have dreamed in the quiet dusk after work. And I, who bear men into the world, have rested after labor And have shaped visions of things to come. And we too are the people. T Of what do we dream, we foolish ones, who seek after wraiths and would give them body? We dream of a new World . . . We dream of a world of free men, who can face the dawn without terror. For there is no terror in a peaceful land. We dream of a World of kind men, who find strength in mutual dependence. For love is a bond invincible. We dream of . . . Tall cities, white in the sunshine Gleaming with clear, bright windows And the sound of a thousand voices lilling the air with music, The music of strong men working, The songs of children at play, The singing of happy women. And of men seeking wisdom, freely. And black men, white men and brown Equal and living in harmony. And of quiet evenings and darkness And only the stars overhead. And of rulers, the tools of the people And the voice of the people, the law. And of schooling to breed sane opinion To teach all the meaning of freedom, To teach all what tolerance is, To teach all how closely love knits And the ugly disunion of hate. We dream of . . . A shining new world Stripped of all old world dress. Of a world new clad by the people In the people's garb of-Peace. That's what we dream, O you doubters, And we know the futility of dreams Dreamed without hope of achievement . . . But the folk do not dream that way. Our dream is the goal we seek, The goal we seek and shall find, though it mean o ones. For the people are an endless procession Breeding through time to its end And we who die are but straws Riding the wind that shall sweep the world And strip it of old world dress.
