Ji ian cally There are two outstanding things about Steven- son's pupils in reference to Miss Levy: they're ter- rifically loyal to. her and are willing to work very hard at her request fassemblies, etc.J Miss Levy not only teaches us Spanish, she also conducts drives for the Spanish Republican Refugees, takes us to Span- ish movies, and restaurants, and museums, puts on Pan American Assemblies, and sells cakes for the benefit of the junior Homeroom. She went to Eastern District High School and Brooklyn College where she received her B.A. fSpan- ish major-Education minorj. After graduation from college she was bursting with help Humanity ideas and for a while did volunteer work for a Settlement House. She liked the work but realized that it wasn't enough, wasn't approaching the crux of the problem. In 1958 she went to Mexico on money that she had saved for several years. She took courses at the University of Mexico, taught English and did some translating. She did censorship and secretarial work in business offices but finally went back to teaching which she preferred. h And as to what Miss Levy wants? A year of travel, and to own a few of her favorite paintings, and see a democratic Spain. 14: 11 of .MAIN-ith gul7ll9l'0l-'Af Mr. Gumprecht was born in Hamburg, Germany. He studied music there and taught the piano for many years, However, he was always interested in psychology and tried to combine it with music.
