And outlined 'gainst a drooping sky | saw a boy with flowing locks Pause wearily as he surveyed The landscape. Curious, | Drifted unassumingly In his direction, daring not to speak. With boyish haste he turned, Then sighed, just as the sun, a ball of fire, Rolled down a hillside out of sight. | pondered: had all fire been smothered In his breast, all green of future deeds Been browned by autumn's frosty breath?

I strain my arms to the sky As my voice shrills into space; I give thanks To my God Because it has come— The Dawn that brings Life. I stand on the shore In the fading sunshine And wait for the Night— The Night that takes Life. A CHALLENGE They say that man is nothing but dirt. But if that is so, what is dirt? lf mere dirt can raise skyscrapers, What can the skyscrapers do? They also say that man is in shackles But how can dirt be kept in shackles? Dirt is free, it belongs to the earth. The earth is the universe, can it be jailed? It is said that man once dead is gone. And that a failure is as good as dead. But how is that so if he turns to dust? And dust is ever creating man? PANACEA | saw a man, and he said 'Tis wise to be well read, Then disappeared. Another, just as strange, told Me, to stay not in the fold, But be alone. Yet, another did | see whose claim Was, Тіс wise to fear the name Of God Then vanished he. Bewildered, | turned to a lad, Who by me stood, sad, And spake he to me, Sir, I've learned tis best to be Mad, Mad, Mad. And to him, did I lend ear. DIRECTORS MORTON APTER 147 W.

Lend is a forty day religious holiday. The editorial board (1 guess you’re editorial-bored, too!) of the RETALIATOR extends its felicitations to the lucky, lucky graduates. That reminds me of the story of the two African maneaters: Chief Chicken of a powerful cannibal tribe Was speaking to Chief Chicken-Gumbo, a neighborly (?) chief. Said he, “How did that South Side alumnus taste?” “Was that a South Side alumnus? asked Chicken-Gumbo, surprised, “I didn't know he finished high school!” “Sure,” retorted Chief Chicken, “that was a ‘grad’ you ate!” SENIORS NAB HERMAN “She spoke to Hermanette,” continued SH ob A egen тет the captive, “and asked him if he had THE MOUSE been chewing the cheese.

She didn’t like him to be STERN. Is SASLOW? replied Susie, sarcas- tically. “There’s no HERMAN in that. You never put enuff SALZ in the food. Why did you FAUER the cook? You're nothing but a LAUFER!

I think it'll be a WEISS thing to PRESS them myself, Jim growled, tak- ing out an iron.

While walking along, he passed a hardware store. “T want something to lock my automo- bile with,” he told the proprietor. “Oh, you want a CARLOCK!” smiled the hardware-store owner. “While you’re at it, can you give me a real, genuine drinking beer mug?” Jim inquired. The proprietor brought down a beer mug, remarking: “This is a BORN-STEIN—it can also be used as a WEIN-STEIN. Jim started to sing: “DUBOWY, DU- BOWY, they say such things and they do such things in DUBOWY ...” The proprietor brought him his bundle. Jim spied two colored pictures of icebergs on the wall. One was a GREENBERG and the other was a GOLDBERG. “I don't like those berg pictures. Haven't you got one with a lion's home next to the iceberg? Jim remarked. 454� “Oh,” said the proprietor,” you a DENENBERG!” . Jim got disgusted und walked out. On the way he passed a drunk who was singing, “LORBER, Come Back to Me.” Jim started worrying about Susie. “When she gets mad, he reflected, “she's APTER do anything. One WARD leads to another with her.” He stopped to buy a newspaper. He read the headline: “MANY WIN IN SWEEPSTAKES RAFFEL; New York ers Among WINARS.” He stopped in a candy store to buy something for Susie. He said to the clerk: “I want something for my wife and I to enjoy ourselves with—but not jig saw puzzles—they BORRUS. He pulled his watch out of the watch-FARB, and sat down to rest.

We have passed thru the greatest military conflict the world has ever witnessed and are now endeavoring to lift ourselves out of one of the world's worst economic depressions. But as we came out of the war, so will we come out of the depression, a nation more understanding of human relations and more avid in the desire for peace. Out of this turmoil will emerge a civilization more wonderful than ever in respect to its achievements. For the age of the future is an age of achievement, achievement based on specializa- tion. Therefore, let us prepare ourselves for this era. With the great study and application required to master even a fair amount of knowledge in any subject, the average individual cannot hope to be successful if he dissipates his efforts in an attempt to master several arts. Let us, therefore, realize the limitations of our powers in this respect and concentrate on the acquisition of superior knowledge or skill in at least one field. Moreover, we can adopt the proper attitude towards our fellow beings and endeavor to regulate our economic system so that the inhab- itants of this country will be able to enjoy the high standard of living to which they are entitled by reason of the unmatched resources of our land. The materials for creating the desired end are at hand. The cru- cible for mixing the ingredients has been fashioned. Scientists and prac tical inventors have pointed the way toward the production of the fundamental elements. We are the chemists who are to fuse these elements into the finished product. Sincerity of purpose, loyalty, and the observance of the golden rule must be inculcated into us, the young men and young women of to-day, in order to fit us further to be those chemists. It is ours to uphold the tradition of America. It is ours to shape our country and to bring it out of its present crisis. We are the citizens of to-morrow. We are the captains of our destiny. BERNICE COHN. т SENIOR OPTIMIST 4 ITERA TURE ee DELIN-AR Ву ALVIN TABANKIN and JACK ZUKIN [he sombre halls of L’Academie Francaise buzzed with the excited voices of the nation’s most distinguished archeologists, who were gathered around Dr. Ladevez, the eminent president of the society. “Gentlemen,” began the professor, lifting his sonorous voice so well known in all archeological circles, “we who are assembled here are fortu nate in having been presented with the most amazing archeological dis- covery since the excavation of King Tut. Here, in this case, are the remains of King Delin- Ar, one of the wealthiest of the ancient Pharaohs. Gentlemen, notice the heavily bejewelled fingers proving beyond doubt his fabulous wealth. But this is of little importance. It is with the state of preservation of the remains that we are concerned. At this point the professor's voice became intense with suppressed excitement. Observe, Ladevez began; and his listeners, carried away by the mood of the speaker, pressed closer around the case. Observe the radical departure from the customary manner of embalming used by the Egyptians. Here is the actual skeleton and not a mummified body, resting in a marvelous state of preservation. In fact after a most thorough research, we are able to state that the remains are in a condition of preservation positis ely not more than 200 years old. This is the first bit of evidence that we have discovered, pointing to an altogether different method of embalming which greatly impedes the state of decay. The chill breeze of the desert night swept over a camp, snuggled a valley between two dunes of yellow sand, definitely pronounced by the light of the moon above. A figure stealthily emerged from the shadow of a nearby tent and, with a quick reassuring glance about him, hurriedly but quietly made his way towards a pyramid, engulfed by the darkness of its own shadow. Once well out of the camp, all signs of uneasiness disappeared and Jean continued onward with a bolder step. Pve found it! It's all mine, he thought as he neared the pyramid. A voice within harangued him mockingly. Ah Jean, you're an SENIOR OPTIMIST cu | | | % N unappreciative scoundrel. Do you think fessor in such a manner after he trusted start life anew?” Bah!

No doubt many of our admirers (?) will cheer, others will breathe a sigh of relief and still others may miss из. Nevertheless, there is still dirt to be dished and when news is in the air, Gussie is right there (poetry?) ... It seems that Mr. Tabankin (we swore not to mention bis name, but this is too good to keep) made more trips to the photographers than any other person in the class, for the sole purpose of seeing that certain red haired lass who thinks be is the best looking titian haired lad in captivity —nerts, our vote still goes to Erwin. . . . Speaking of pictures, how the gals did ride Laura (Twinny) Goldsteen. When she prepared to pose, she fussed and primped and fussed some more. . . . Among our Senior Heart Throbs we find the aforementioned Miss G. and Adrian (baby) Benjamin in the throes of something or other. While J. Churgin and B. Persisky still have a love light a gleaming. . . . Big news, Naomi Turkel has thrown her Pride out the window ... catch on? .. . When M. Singer broke her finger (there we go again phooetry?) she never had to worry about getting her books to school . . . she always managed to find a willing hand . . . such devotion must be deserved. . . By the way, did you see that lady at Rosalynde with А.Т. ... Among the things we'll miss are the many pretzels consumed (under the desk) during that swelegant History Class. .. . Now that we are coming to the end of our dirt dishing career (in S. S.) we may reveal that your correspondent would have been lost without the help of Ethel (eagle eye) Brosnick. . . When L. Melrod was asked why he was wearing white shoes (in March) he retorted that they were the best he could borrow from Hesh. . . When ]. Weinstein was queried as to what he was going to do with his trophy, he quacked “It’s already in the pawnshop . When Irv Snyder received his trophy, some wise guy remarked, Here's where Ethel has something for her desk. Whereupon Miss B. replied, “Who said she could take it? . . . This next bit really happened: O. Bertoli actually fell asleep in that fourth period history class. . . . Justin Reiss took such a good picture that a cer- tain teacher remarked, “Just like a Beau Brummel.” . . . Big news, extra and all that sort of thing, Big shot Jack Weiss is at last leaving us and I don't know who isn't relieved. . . . Milt Freeman certainly showed a bus- iness head, when he offered ]. W. a certain lump sum for the Senior class orchestra—for details see the Social Com. . . . Now the time has come to lend thine ears to au revoir. With our hearts breaking, we put down the little chewed off pencil and plug up the keyhole and sign off with undying love. ... ON TO COMMENCEMENT!!! Commencingly yours, Shirley E. “Gussie” Weinthal.
