Hornung, Principal, Walt Whitman Junior High School 246 MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL Dear Students, Boys and girls of junior high school age and background always have a keen interest in shaping their careers. It is with that thought in mind that the editors of your school magazine have chosen HCareers in the Makingn as the theme of the June 1963 edition of the WALT WHITMAN PIONEER. The choice is highly commendable. Now that you are pre- paring for high school and college, you must give serious thought to selecting courses of study and getting informa- tion about vocations. Mr. Chernow, our guidance and vocational counselor, in his letter to the boys and girls of Walt Whitman, has sug- gested many excellent sources for career information. I hope you will use them. To the boys and girls of our school and especially to the boy and girl members of our June 1963 graduating class, I ex- tend my best wishes for successful careers. May the guidance you received at Walt Whitman help you play an important part in the world of tomorrow. Your friend, Florence E. Hornung Principal 5 A'-Q X U '1 F- V X .

Yours is the ex- citing prospect of growing up in a world where career oppor- tunities will be ever richer and more interesting. There are whole fields of work open today that didn't exist when your parents were in junior high school such as television and space. Along with these added oppor- tunities come some additional re- sponsibilities. These new, ex- citing vocational opportunities as well as the more established professions all require more years of schooling. Many jobs that were once open to high school graduates now require a college diploma. Most professions now insist on years of graduate train- ing beyond the college degree. Career planning is like driv- ing an automobile through morning traffic. The man who gives thought to it will get to work sooner. In the distance there awaits an occupation to fit your own unique combination of talents, preferences, needs, and resources. With so many different factors to MR.FllgD GUIDANQ: CHER E Now cons ing how you will find your way to the right one for you. Fortunately, you have older people, interested in your wel- fare, available to guide you. Start with your parents. They have a vast storehouse of first hand experiences to share with you and, furthermore, your best interests at heart. The faculty members at school have counseled thousands of young people before you and they are in a position to see how you compare with your classmates. r you are probably wonder- Another excellent source of career information is in the reading of biographies. Life stories have given many informa- tion and inspiration for a job or profession. In conclusion, remember that all work which contributes a necessary service to society has dignity. Our society has need for a certain number of its,men and women in the professions. It also needs millions of men and women with technical, admini- strative, and mechanical skills. Good Luck!

WAITBR Q hh new BRICKLAYER A WAITER'S JOB MY FATHER IS A BRICKLAYBR HAS ITS DISADVANTAGBS Wkkkiik kkikkkk As I write this interview, my father's words come to mind: HDon't neglect your education.H My father failed to get higher education and now he is sorry for it, Employed as a waiteg his hours are long and the work hard. Sometimes he works as many as eighteen straight hours. He is likewise employed on holidays. Waiting is not an especially lu- crative profession, and does not offer many opportunities for ad- vancement. After reading this, I believe, as you probably do, that without a complete education in this new, highly competitive world, one is seriously handicapped. Survey the situation. Think of this before you drop out of high school when the algebra gets rough or the English literature becomes unbearable. Years from now, you will be happy that you did not obey a spur of the mo- ment impulse. Theodore Weiss A bricklayer often earns more than two hundred dollars a week. He works seven hours a day with an hour off for lunch. His work is seasonal. My father learned bricklay- ing as an apprentice to his father who was a mason for many years. Paul Davis GARMENT WORKER THE GARMENT INDUSTRY EMPLOYS MEN ON A SEASONAL BASIS kkkkkk My father is a garment worker. He followed his father in this field. His responsibility is to assist the designer. He starts his work at 8:30 A.M., has lunch at 12:00 P.M. for one hour, and leaves his job at 4:30. The sal- ary range is from S115 to S150 a week, plus overtime, but his work is on a seasonal basis.

My uncle is Stronaut, only a stockbroker. Yet his responsibilities as a broker are not to be ignored. To discuss with investors the proper type of securities best fitted for them as well as helping them decide which in- vestments should be made, are all part of the great burden undertaken by the stockbroker. To keep well informed, the stockbroker reads the morning paper to find out if any events have occured which may affect the customer's investments. He then informs the customer if his stock is being affected. Then he checks the purchase slips of the preceding day to see that no error has been made by the office. After this, he watches the ticker tape and tries to detect a trend. Trad- ers are informed about what's happening. 8 CKY K BECOME A STOCK BROKER!

He carefully watches for the prpper execution of any orders. At the end of the day, he discusses the daily events of the market with his customers. The salary of a stockbroker varies with the sales ability of the customer'S man. Most firms will not keep anyone who doesn't earn the minimum amount of money for himself and the company. Due to the great decline in the Stock Market, there is not at present a great demand for stockbrokers. However, there are always jobs for those well qualified. Most firms require a college degree. There is a training period course and a special exam required by the Stock Exchange and the National Association of Security Dealers Shelley Schwimmer Q ofa mr er cf u U ry qgfQl6QflUfVYq U00 Nusfuu Vllbdif' EROM SALESMAN TO PART OWNER OF A COMPANY MY FATHER EXPLAINS HIS CAREER kkkkkkk HI started as a salesman for Concord Mills, a textile company, and today I am the manager and part owner of the company. My responsibility is to take care of customers and buyers from depart- ment stores all over the country and from foreign countries. The working hours are from Q A.M. to 6 P.M. The salary is without li- mit, the higher the position the higher the salary. There are plenty of jobs open for young men and a good chance for advancement The educational background must be good, and the person must be cordial and pleasant.H Jamie Savedoff LAWYER A LAWYER'S WORKING DAY IS DIVIDED BETWEEN RESEARCH AND ARGUING CASES IN COURT kkkkkkk A lawyer's responsibility is to serve his clients to the best of his abilityg to try not to cheat or obstruct the law. A lawyer's first salary may be smal1,but,as his popularity increases,so will his income. Political interests are also helpful in a lawyer's career. Advice to an undecided career- ist is to enter law, a career of self gratification and many op- portunities. Requirements for law are four years of college and two years of law school. Janet Dembitzer ,l-': :T- TECT MY FATHER IS AN ARCHITECT kkkkkkk His career started when he became interested in mathematics and drawing. He went to Col- umbia University and took archi- tecture. He then transferred to New York University where he received a professional degree. After receiving a degree, he passed a state examination. My father's responsibility is to coordinate activities of the designers, construction workers, and engineering staff, to make sure that a building upon completion is a finished product. The salary range for archi- tests is roughly S100 to S200 a week or 55,000 to 511,000 a year. The demands for draftsmen are very high and drafting is a good field for advancement into other fields. Richard Schwarz lr ' WINDOW DRESSER MY UNCLE IS A FREE LANCE w1NDow-DRESSER AND LIKES H15 Jos kkkkkkk He started his career as an apprentice to a window decorator, working after school. Now he owns his own business. As a freelance window decora- tor, he takes full responsibility for the window displays and the ordering or designing of the props. He works in several stores. He changes the window displays once a month in each individual store, and,if one store has ten windows, he will work on two each day. Unlike the department store window decorator who earns about one hundred dollars per week, a freelance window decorator sets his own price and gets paid by the day. There is a constant demand for freelance window decorators. A formal education is helpful, but a person who may start as an apprentice must have talent and determination. A diploma from an art school is a big help. Agnes Priedmann 10 STORE OWNER wwwwwww The advantages of owning one's own business far outweigh the dis- advantages. That is why my father enjoys being his own boss. The hours in his two apparel stores are long and irregular and the responsibility of bills and W Hlabor are many. if The working day commences at nine A.M. five days a week at which time these stores are open- ed for business. The day is di- vided between seeing salesmen and ordering merchandise, opening shipments, supervising personnel, checking inventory and processing re-orders of popular items, ob- serving the selling floor to see that all customers are helped, doing the essential bookkeeping, and planning future advertising and sales to stimulate business during the slow seasons. Keith Sherwood MINK CLASSIFIER BE A JACK-OF-ALL-JOBS IN THE FUR INDUSTRY AND HOPE FOR AN OPENING kkkkkkk My father is a mink classifier in the mutation mink department of the Hudson Bay Company. He be gan his career in the fur industry with I.J. Fox, Fifth Avenue, when he was twenty years old. In his work he determines the type of mink sent in by the mink ranchers in order to group them for grading purposes. He separates the hides into sapphires, pastels, silver- blues, and Aleutians. Steven Jacobs BE.AU'Qc1AN kkkkkkkk BEAUTY CULTURE AFFORDS A COMFORTABLE LIVING kkkkkkki Although no formal education is required, thousands of people with college diplomas are making ver comfortable livin s in beau- Y g ty culture and all its depart- ments. To be successful, one must have intelligence, love for peo- ple, and a desire to serve. While beauty culture is not drud- gery, one must like this articu- P lar kind of work to enjoy it. Janice Moffitt OFFICE SECRETARY OFFICE SECRETARIES HAVE JOBS OF RESPONSIBILITY wkfwkkw My aunt does secretarial work. She started her career after grad- uating from a commercial high school. After graduation, she worked for private industry as a stenographer. Later, she took a civil service examination and started working for the city. She now works for a director of an engineering office where she takes technical dictation and types statistical reports. She does clerical work consist- ing of filing, keeping records of incoming mail, and typing letters for other executives in the office Michael Rose 'x FASHION AND MAGAZINE MODEL kkkkkkk I interviewed a magazine model who works for Vogue, Seventeen, Madamoiselle, Glamour, and other popular publications. One must have outstanding qualifications to be successful as a model: dra matic ability, poise, and person- ality. But the most attractive part of modeling is the salary, Diane, the girl I interviewed, earns S40 an hour and usually works a few hours a day for about six days a week. Of course, all models are not this well paid. The average pay is 325, but top models earn as much as S100 an hour. Lois Axelrad PRQFESSIQNAB-SINGER MY MOTHER SINGS PROFESSIONALLY FOR SOCIAL AND CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS kkkkkkk After studying for several years with private teachers, my mother won a scholarship for study at the Chatham Square Music School for Professional Studies. There she studied opera and clas- sics in French, Italian, German, and Spanish. She now sings pro- fessionally for social and char- itable organizations.

Gerald Septoff GROCERY STORE MANAGER A SUCCESSFUL CAREER DEPENDS UPON PERSEVERANCE AND HARD WORK kkkkkkk My father is the manager of Waldbaum's on Church Avenue. When he was a young boy going to school, he worked part-time in his father's grocery store. When he finished school, he worked full time. When he came out of the army, he acquired a job as a checker for Waldbaum's. A few years 13- ter, he was made an assistant manager, and finally a manager. My father works a five and a half day week and has many re- sponsibilities. One of the most important duties is to take care of records. He also makes sure that the displays are always full.

When she came home, I took out my pad and began to ask her several questions about her job. HTO begin withy she said, HI work for Decoppet and Doremus, an oddmlot house on Wall Street? HI paused in my writing long enough to ask, UWhat's that?H HThere are two Odd lot houses in New York. Stocks are bought in lots of a hundred or the ex- pensive stocks in lots of ten. A broker can buy any number of shares less than a hundred through odd lot houses.U HContinueH I said. HWhat do you do?H HI quote last sales or the current price at that time from a tele-register board.H Upon seeing my quizzical look, she said, HA tele-register board is a board with all the symbols for the stocks on the New York Stock Exchange. Prices are reg- istered on it simultaneously with the ticker at the Stock Exchange. 'VMy work begins at ten o'clock when the market opens. Taking my place in fromt of the board, I put on a headphone and I'm ready for the red light on my turret to shine.H My facial expression gave me away and she explained that a turret was like a very small switchboard with about ten keys. A red light flashing and a buzz signifies a call from one of the customers of the firm. HI then give him the price of the called for stocks and other information he wants.H Barbara Katz 13 U ooQ9a E5'U U - U Q33 IEBQIZZCS efilifo 5 -JllllL- MECHANI CAL AND ELECTRI CAL ENGINEER ENGINEERS ARE WELL-PAID AND ARE IN GREAT DEMAND kkkkkkk Mr. Steven Barasch is a mech- anical and electrial engineer working for the Bell Telephone Laboratories.

Marilyn Sutin BALLPLAYER BASEBALL OFFERS MANY ADVANTAGES TO A YOUNG MAN WHO IS EAGER TO EARN A LARGE SALARY AND WHO LIKES THE SPORT kkkikkk I would like to become a ball- player. It pays well, between 525,000 and Sl25,000 a year plus public appearances and outside activities. I like walking onto a baseball diamond, into a dugout, and into a clubhouse. I like being able to hear the hot dog vendor, the cheering and the booing of the crowd, but especially I like tak- ing part in the greatest sporting event, The World Series.

During training, you must be able to spend at least thirty- five hours a week in class, lab, and clinic. The minimum educa- tional requirements are two years of pre-dental college and four years in a professional dental school. If you are interested, dentis- try offers many rewards.

It begins at as low as 54,000 per year and goes up to 535,000 per year. The average salary of a commercial artist is 512,000 per year. The demand for this type of work is great, but,in order to ad- vance,it is necessary to learn all you can from your superiors. jobs are available for highly tal- ented artists at all times. Mr. Shevrin, the man I inter- viewed, feels that the major re- quirement for commercial art work is talent and drive. He feels it is advisable to attend college and major in advertising design. He hastily adds that the real teach- er in this field is experience.

From his first brutal act,we knew he was not fit to command. While we were off the coast of New Zealand, one of the men was caught stealing a few morsels of bread. He was stripped to the waist and beaten mercilessly with a cat-o'-nine-tails. Other heartless punishments for minor offenses continued for weeks on end. Then the crew took action. The captain was with the pi- lot when mutiny rang through the ship. It was a bloody but short Sailors fell limply on revolt. the deck as they were overpower- ed. The shouts of helpless men competed with the explosive noise of the musket. There was the re- lentless thud of falling men and the slash of the cutlasses. When the sudden revolt ended, the ship was in the hands of the mutineers with the captain locked in the galley. But the crew was not satisfied. They wanted the captain to be punished for his fiendish practices. A vote was proposed and the crew agreed that the captain should be whipped. His once mighty figure was shackled to the mast like a com- mon seaman. Each time the whip cut into his flesh the crew roar- ed. Each slash paid for one more of his vile acts. Suddenly a volley of French guns thundered across the port side, and the deck became a con- fusion of debris and broken bo- dies. The evil captain lay dead crushed bv a fallen mast.

Keith Sherwood Z1 THE ANSWER AN ENGLISH KING REVEALS A STRANGE SENSE OF HUMOR Many years ago, as King john, the reigning king of England, was taking his morning stroll a- round Buckingham Palace, he chanced upon Lord Tryon, with whom he frequently conferred on important matters of state. As they chatted, the conversation turned to an exchange of their war experiences. Reminiscing, the King related an incident which occurred in his youth while he was in the army. The King, together with oth- er British noblemen, was cap- tured by the enemy and sentenc- ed to immediate death. The prisoners were lined up for ex- ecution, and, just as the enemy was taking aim, there was a sud- den attack by the British and they were set free. HA remarkable escape, indeed,H Lord Tryon said when the king finished his story, Ubut how did it feel to be so close to death?H The king stiffened, apparent- ly'very much annoyed at this question. HHow dare you ask me such a question?H said the king. Lord Tryon looked bewilder- ed and asked him what had made him so angry, repeatedly apolo- gizing for his apparently of- fensive remark. The king, never- theless called to the castle guards and ordered them to take Lord Tryon to the dungeon to a- wait execution the following morning, Lord Tryon could hardly be- lieve it! HDeath for a simple question to my friend, the king?H he thought to himself, unbeliev- ingly. He sat in the dungeon l 22 thinking and trying to under stand this terrible and unex- pected turn of events. He re- membered how much trust the king had always put in him and tried desperately to think back to the exact moment he used the word which might have offended the king. He was tortured by the thought that his life was to end so suddenly and unexpectedly, and was filled with a terrible desire to live. That night sleep was impossible. At dawn a guard arrived and led the dazed Lord Tryon to the courtyard. The sweat was drin- ping from his face. With bow- ed head and shaking legs, he walked to the wall of the court- yard. He found it hard to be- lieve that death was inevitable, even though he knew it was so. Silently, he prayed as he stood against the wall facing the fir- ing squad. Suddenly, the king, standing in the back of the courtyard, shouted an order. The firing squad raised their guns. Lord Tryon closed his eyes. The king shouted another order and the firing squad took aim. Lord Tryon's body tensed as he wait- ed for the last order. A final time the king shouted:HHalt!n The king walked up to Lord Tryon and said, nYou wanted to know how it felt to be at the point of death. I think you now have your answer.H n Lord Tryon opened his eyes wide, unbelievingly. Managing to speak, he said, with a deep sigh, HYes, now I know.H Steven Flexser ,X lr. p C nm! f i I ml5 'Llm i .

HPressH, said I, flashing my credentials at the guard standing by the gate. This was not my first hanging nor would it be the last. I had been in other prisons, but this particular one had an eerie feeling at the moment. I walked by the cells and glanced at one sullen prisoner after another. They seemed to look at me with a dull curiosity, probably due to the fact that I was a well-known news correspondent. Oh, I hated this place. I could think of two hundred other places where I'd rather be, but a job is a job. This prison seemed so familiar, but then again all death houses are alike I had reached the witness box and the heavy metal doors were swinging open. I entered the room and was momentarily blinded by the sun shining through the solitary window. I approached the window and gazed out. Before me was the gallows. Here is where I would stand and see a man pay for his crimes.and,tonight, before retiring,would write a story that would capture the reader's attention. A man's life would end and the reader paying ten cents would enjoy reading about it. The more grue- some the story the better! Oh, well, mine is not to reason why. Mine is to do or-- Nwhat are you doing? Let go of my arm. I'm from the press. Don't you understand? I'm here to cover the hanging. I'm not the victim. Where are you taking me?U HThe gallows?

UTomorrow the dictatorship will be ours.n UNO Miguel, that's where you are wrong. It will be mine, all mine. How foolish do you think I am to let a young ambitious no- body like yourself share a dicta- torship, government, country, with the great Pedro Gonza1ez.H At this point Pedro drew out a pis- tol and pointed it at Miguel. UNO Pedro, no, please don't...H x w + k Emanuel, enjoying his long de- served vacation, did not leave his house for a week. As an of- ficer in Dictator Rodriguez's army, he surprisingly knew noth- ing of the plotting of his bro- ther and his brother's friend Pedro. Turning on his radio, Manuel heard an hourly newsflash. 'Click'! UAn attempt has been made to overthrow Dictator Jose Rodriguez by two Latin-Americans. The leaders in the revolution, were Pedro Gonzalez, a colonel in the former dictator's regime, and Miguel Lopez. Lopez was found dead this afternoon.n--'C1ick'1 Manuel did not wait to listen to the explanation. Emanuel was too overcome with grief at the news of his brother's death. He assumed, moreover, the attempt to overthrow Rodriguez's government had failed. Emanuel assumed too, that Rodriguez had captured his brother and had him shot down before a firing squad. At this very moment Emanuel's brotherly devotion overcame his loyalty as a soldier. He vowed to avenge his brother by killing Rodriguez. At approximately midnight, Emanuel stealthily entered the Dictator Rodriguez's sleeping chambers through an open window, It was a dark night. Thinking the sleeping form to be Rodriguez Emanuel drew his pistol and as- sassinated the dictator. To as- sure himself of vengeance, he took a closer glance. It wasn't-- no it wasn't Jose Rodriquez. But then who was it? It was too late to escape. The pal- ace guards crashed down the locked doors. The personal bodyguard to the dictator said to Emanuel, HI hold you under arrest for murdering Pedro Gonzalez, the new dictator of our country.H HDictator?H Emanuel question- ed with astonishment. He then thought to himself, NYes, now I understand. Gonzalez and my brother were successful in their attempt to overthrow the dict- ator. Then-then the man I had just killed was the true murd- erer of my brother-Gonzalez killed my brother in greed and took over the dictatorship for himself. Wiki To Emanuel's astonishment, although he failed to kill Jose Rodriquez, he succeeded in assass- inating the right man. Yes, the supposedly wrong man iron- ically ended up the right vic- tim. Pate can play games, weird games, and it did, with Emanuel Lopez as its lonely playmate. Steven Jacobs 25 . - 11, I -lflq-isiiihl!!'ESgQ!l'-'g2 b ..I- Eggmii f- ,I ,gli f wily -1-14 if 59:5 M .-V . .

Suddenly, I looked down and saw my landing field. At the shrill sound of the sirens, the people below scurried to the shelter of their homes. Child- ren stopped playing. Men and women ceased working. I had many misgivings about this mission, but I had my or- ders direct from the President of the United States. With me went the world's hope. It hurt me to think of the immediate danger that awaited the people below. I felt myself being checked and rechecked. A few moments later.I heard the order for my ejection.

Finally, I turned and fled, but I didn't get far. A.strangef tugging at my heart seemed to make my feet stop. With a know- ing feeling inside me, I returned to the scene of destruction. With renewed feelings,I watched. I watched the beautiful crystal pieces, which had glittered so bright,falling apart. I watched, too, the cluttering of debris on the ground, horrible, twisted, broken. I observed the faces of the guilty ones. An anger swelled up in me as I saw the look of unconcern registered upon their faces. Then the death a- gonysand I knew the end was near. With a loud crash, the victim of destruction toppled over. One of the guilty ones quickly hauled it away, far away, out of sight. Now the tears were running down my cheeks as I realized the awful truth. The ornaments were gone, and so was the Christmas tree.

I looked up and before me was a---how shall I describe it,-a queer- looking creature perhaps from a distant planet. He said to me, HGeorge Wash- ington, I presume?H I answered with a quake in my voice and a chill down my spine that I was the person in question. He asked me if 1 wanted to win the Revolutionary War. I replied that I did but I feared the far-superior British forces we had to fight against. UTush,H he said to me. nWhat I can do to cripple the British will more than put the feeble attempts of your troops to shame I knew there would be a catch Hwhat do you want in return if you win the war for us?H I queried. HTo begin with, 400 bags of chicken feathersg moreover, a dead cat with a lamb's head tied to a cat's tail.H I knew I could get these strange items easily, but I was filled with curiosity for his reason for wanting them. He sensed my curiosity and explain- ed that he needed a certain num- ber of service credits before he could become a full-fledged sorcerer, and only a full-f1ed- ged sorcerer could turn chicken feathers into gold. He was be- hind in his schedule and only by making America win the Rev- olutionary War could he attain enough credits in a short enough time to satisfy his superiors. The dead cat and lamb's head were details he couldn't explain at the moment. -5.4 asf ' - F .

In five hours I made the payment. When I asked him how he plan- ned to beat the British, he said, HFirst, I will make General Burgoyne afraid of horses. Then I will make Lord Cornwallis a- fraid of getting his fingernails broken. Of course, your men will probably not have to fight at all. They will just have to be there. The odds are a million to one that no one will be hurt. However, I do guarantee your winning the war.H He bid me goodbye and depart- ed, telling me that he would see me on the morrow. That night I had trouble sleeping. I spent a fitful night wondering about the deal I had made. Why, I didn't even know the creature's name. HOh well,H I said to myself, HI shall find out tomorrow.H The next day, the creature was all smiles when I asked him his name. He replied that it was Abercrombie F. fthe UPN for CorneliusD Spalensin. He repeated that he could never make the grade as a first rate sorcerer if he did not help us win. He acted as if we were doing him a favor. I kindly agreed not to di- vulge his name, a name with no relation to persons living, dead, or in-between. He told me that I should attack on Christmas Eve because everybody would be Hboo- zin it upu and he would have the 'schnappsn drugged. I must give him credit. No one else could have thought of such a diaboli- cal plan. And what's more, it worked. I did just what he said I knew we were going to win with or without his help after the first battle. After the final battle, Spal- enson told me that once he left me, I would never see him again. I was sorry to have him go, but I received solace in the fact that he told me that he had re- ceived his first-rate sorcerer's badge and he would be enter- nally grateful to the United States and me. When he said farewell for the last time and disappeared, the only trace that was left of him was a puddle of chicken fat.

There was fighting and shedding of blood. Hungary was now in the hands of the Communists. But what were we the people, to do? NEscape?n The word was in everybody's mind and on everybody's tongue. The risk was great. What if you were caught? What would happen? Yet, the people were read to sacri Y .. fice everything for their freedom. They crossed swamps, rivers, went across frozen wastelands just to escape from Communism. December 31, 1956 was the date set for our escape. It was a cold night and the train we used to transport us to the border was not heated. The people were ner- vous and still undecided about taking the risk. After a ride of two hours, we got Off the train and walked in the dark shadows of the freight yard toward a locomo- tive. The locomotive would take us as near to the border as pos- sible. The children were sleepy and were crying, and the tempers be- came short. About twenty-five of us sat, rather tried to sit, in the locomotive. The few be- longings which the people took 30 with them were scattered. We had to squat, just in case a cur- ious enemy decided to look in on us. All in all it was very crowded and uncomfortable. In an hour we reached the place where our journey began. Everyone scrambled out of the locomotive, stretched his limbs, and got ready for the last and most dangerous part of our trip. As I looked ahead of me, all I could see was a vast stretch of snow-covered land, and maybe if luck was with us, a new future. Walking was very difficult and the small corn stalks hindered our speed. Every ten or twenty minutes we stopped and let the people in the back catch up to us. We neared the border and were shaking with fear. We prayed that the guards would either be asleep or too drunk to patrol the border. Our pray- ers were well rewarded. Not a guard was in sight. The guards were celebrating, singing, and welcoming the New Year. Within half an hour, we were across the border in Vienna, safe in the hands of the Red Cross nur- ses. Thus we entered a New Year in a new land with renewed hope for the future. Agnes Friedman THE WONDER OP YOUTH Gary burst into the house with a charging fury. He had rushed into the house to quickly grab his baseball bat and mit. His young, boyish face was flushed yet glowing with intrigue and excitement because the first neighborhood game of the season was about to be played. It was blonde, shining hair that slyly brushed his forehead while it showed traces of streaks being gradually bleached by the gleam- ing sunlight. The sun had also left its mark on his now sandy brown, smooth skin. Gary wore a white stained T-thirt with sleeves ridiculously rolled up and worn, faded blue dungarees which looked as rugged yet as sheepish as he. His black sneak- ers were old, yet characteristic of the owner in that both boy and sneakers were vivacious. The child had his own way of radiat- ing warmth and fascination to everyone around him and it was now that I realized what he was truly like. In this small in- terval of time Gary's general appearance was quite simblv Cif that is possibleb that of a live- ly youngster who had now banged a screen door behind him.

I had just robbed a bank CI do not remember which one because my dreams are never tech- nicalb, and Eliot Ness and three policemen were after me. I darted into an alley and climbed up a fire escape. I went to the roof where I could see very clean ly the policemen drawing their guns and starting to go up the fire escape. I had to think fast I ran to the other side of the roof but there was no fire escape to help me go down. In seconds Eliot Ness would be on the roof and I would be trapped. I saw a long piece of wire leading from an apartment on the first floor to an antenna on the roof. I took hold of it, swung myself over the edge of the roof, and started going down in a mountain climber's fashion. All of a sud- den the wire snapped, I started falling. I woke up still with the falling sensation in my sto- mach, as if I had gone in an ele- vator full speed down from the twenty-seventh floor. The strangest part of it all is that the next morning my fa- ther said, HI think the wire leading to the antenna is causing our poor reception on the tele- vision.U I quickly added, UDad, you'll give me nightmares.n Hwhy son?H asked my father.

The peculiar thing about these people was that they all resem- bled Alfred E. Neuman. I asked around the city to find out where I was. I finally managed to get home. I tried my apartment,but my mother was apparently not home. I then went to rest in the lobby in hope of locating her. Then two men approached me and told me I was committing a criminal offense: loitering. Then these men, ap- parently police officers, hauled me down to the station house. They brought me to the judge and I was immediately found guilty. I was then sentenced to ten years of solitary confinement. Then, as I was about to be thrust into solitary confinement, I screeched out, HI demand my constitutional rights. I demand an attorney. Then my Let me out of herein mother woke me up and told me that I must have been dreaming. Zachary Angelowicz D .One nightmare I shall always remember took place when I was five years old. I dreamt I was being chased by some vague ob- ject, and tried to get away from it. I wanted to go across the street by going between two park- ed cars, On the street where I lived, there was a garden, and around it were spikes, a kind of iron railing with sharp pointed tops. In my dream, as I tried to get across the street, the iron spikes kept getting in my way, and I was running so fast, I couldn't stop myself. just as I was about to fall over them, I woke up. The reason I remember this dream is that the first thing I did when I woke up was to feel my stomach where the spikes would have gone if I had really fallen. This was my very first nightmare, and stuck in my mind because it was very vivid. I don't remember what was following me, but I re- member the spikes, the parked cars, and how frightened I was when I woke up. I think it is very possible for dreams to be what you hope or fear, for, as long as I remember, I was a little frightened of the spikes and what would happen if I fell on them. Rebecca Osofsky A FANTASTIC DREAM when I was about eight years old,I dreamt that I had an en- gagement with death. It happen- ed that in my dream I was locked in a deserted store. My friends and I were playing hide-and-go- seek in this store. I found a ood place to hide and I thought one would find me. I was right! When my friends got tired of playing, they called and told everyone to come out of their hiding places. I was in the back of the store so I didn't hear them. The last child left the store and closed the door tight. All of a sudden the store became very quiet. I finally decided to come out of my hiding place. I was shocked to see that every- one had left, and I was alone in this dark, dreary store. I im- mediately ran to the door and tried to open it. It was stuck and I was trapped. I remember trying very hard to open the door, but I tried in vain. I couldn't call for help because the windows were painted green and no one could see me. I walked over to the back window and it was barred. Walking toward the front, my foot got caught in a broken floor board. The steam from the radiator was making the room hot and smoky. The boiling hot water from a broken pipe was splashing all That is the last over the room. thing I remember because I woke up screaming.

He gripped the corroded rail tightly in his clenched fists-- those fists that looked like a shriveled animal's claw grabbing for something just beyond reach. His shirt was stretched tight- ly across his manly frame. Cling ing to his legs were dungarees that looked elasticized. His whole appearance reminded me of a child rebelling against well-mean ing parents. Suddenly I saw a red light glaring in the darkness beyond and I heard the distant hum of a motor, which was swiftly nearing us. 34 There he stood remote and alone.

His bony hands grabbed at my clothing. He tried to talk, but his parched lips stopped the sounds from coming forth.

Regina has given one hundred hours of her leisure time as a volunteer worker for the junior Red Cross. Recently she was the recipient of the Gold Service Pin. Regina rates superior in character and has given valuable service to the school. Possessor of a beautiful singing voice, Regina performed in the school Talent Show.

We see all the adventures of Oliver Twist, the poor workhouse lad. We see jolly old Pagin, the conniving pick-pocket. We see Nancy, the girl secretly in love with Bill Sykes. There are several other splendid examples of London low-life. Lionel Bart has fashioned the book, music, and lyrics from Dickens' classic. The songs are a show in themselves. Fagin's instructing his students in his art in the song HYou've Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two,H the work- house boys' opening short, HFood, Glorious Food,H and Nancy's big song, HAs Long As He Needs Me,H are all winners. The performers are excellent. Clive Nevill is gay and bewitch- ing as Fagin, Georgia Brown is well-voiced and saucy as Nancy, and Bruce Piochnik is winning as Oliver. HOliverZH is a wonderful mu- sical of haunting tunes and London low-life. 36 HBEYOND THE FRINGEH All the glory of this the- atrical season must go to Great Britain. Direct from a four- year run in London, HBeyond The Fringen has landed here just when it is needed. This revue is by and with four young British gentlemen. They have devised a comedy revue of witty sketches and bizarre, fresh ideas. The four young gentlemen are all expert. Fair-haired and bespectacled Alan Bennett has great fun with his own brand of political satire. Peter Cook, a debonair young comedian, has a flair for whimsy, and his simple-minded NSitting On The Beachn is one of the evening's highlights. Dudley Moore, a small but talented pianist, does a hilarious turn in his spoof of a piano artist who tries in vain to finish the theme from HThe Bridge Over The River Kwai.H Jonathan Miller, a man who can make thousands of faces, and is constantly doing so, is perhaps best. A gay finale is thc sa- tire on Shakespeare's histori- cal plays, with all four men. HBeyond The Fringen can be highly recommended for anyone who wants to laugh! Kenneth Mandelbaum NLITTLE MEN-- a new musical comedy HLittle Men is mainly about a no-talent beauty who rises from rags-to-riches. With a simple theme like that, one would not expect very much. Yet it is the best musical of the year. The rags-to-riches girl is Belle Shlumpfer Clater Belle Poitrinej ably portrayed by Virginia Martin. Belle's lovers Cthere are sevenj are all played by Sid Caesar. The story is told as a flash- back by Miss Poitrine. Today CNancy Andrews? tells about her life to her biographer, Patrick Dennis CPeter Turgeonj. Miss Andrews and Mr. Turgeon are ex- cellent in their roles. With Neil Simon's zany book, you are finally recovering from one laugh only to be rolling in the aisle in a near state of hys- teria the next minute. Cy Coleman's music is satis- fying and bright but Zarolyn Leigh's lyrics are extremely witty and help the music consid- erably. The musical highlights are nDeep Down Insiden, UBe A Performerln, nI've Got Your NumberQ and the title song, HLittle Men. Bob Fosse's choreography hits high spots with HThe Rich Kids Ragu and Swen Swenson's amazing dance of HI've Got Your Numbern. With Laugh after laugh, and Sid Caesar's amazing performance, HLittle Men is--PERFECTION! HSTOP THE WORLD-I WANT TO GET OFFU a new-style musical HStop The Worldn is called a HNew Stylen musical. British import is just that. The leads are Anthony Newley as Little Chap, Anna Quayle is his . .:f,n!' ' ' ' - D ' f L .4 egrep g '- l X. .. Ca. small U four loves, and Susan and Jennif- er Baker, their children. The ensemble is made up of seven girls who form a sort of Greek Chorus. It goes through the ages of man. .But what is different about this musical is that the only scenery is the interior of a circus tent and the only cos- tumes, clowns' costumes. The scenery and costumes are by Sean Kenny. The book, music, and lyrics are by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley. The director is also Mr. Newley. The most not- able song is HWhat Kind Of Fool Am In. Others are HGonna Build a MountainH,'Meilinki MeilchicKQ HOnce in a LifetimeQ and UMumbo. jumbon, a political satire. Miss Quayle also sings four songs to the same tune for each of Little Chap's love with a different ac- cent for each. The Baker Twins are cute, Anna Quayle is amazing, and Anthony Newley does marvelous pantomimes and gives one of the best performances I've ever seen. Yet it is hard to explain such a great show. SO all Ifll say is--GOI Jeffrey Dunn . 37 Teenagers have their prefer- ences in T.V. programs. Espe- cially popular this year are episodes having to do with the medical profession. Other pop- ular categories include detect- ive stories, legal cases and spine-Chillers. Hillbilly stories are popular in the light comedy series. TELEVISION REVIEW The program that has swept the popularity poll this year in the medical category is HDr, Kildare.H Dr. Kildare starring Richard Chamberlain portrays a young in- tern at Blair Hospital trying to serve his residency. During this period of trial, he is a witness to unusual human suffer- ing. Ben Case Cstarring Vincent Edwar s is a suave, overpower- ing, quick-tempered resident at Los Angeles County Hospital. He works in the neuro-surgery department. 38 T.V. REVIEW ff A if When e Nurses first came out critics cried, HNot another medical program.n But in spite of this, The Nurses has WOH the popularity ot adults, and teens all over the country. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Nina Bethune who portrays a young student nurse sees the hard- ships and troubles of patients and often gets involved with them. Shirley Conway also stars in The Nurses. She plays the part of the Head nurse who is in charge of the student nurses. Among the detective programs 77 Sunset Stri , Surfside 6, and'Hawafian EHe are sfifl in the ea . The Westerns are still pop- ular, too.' Bonanza and the famed Cartwrights is a story of a man and his three sons, Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe. They own a large ranch called the Ponde- rosa. Here you see the kindness and the courage of the Cart- wrights as different situations occur. The Dakotas starring Chad Everett has recently made its T.V. debut and already has be- come a popular western. It is about a U.S. marshal and his X if! ' ' lf K' j ff ii T id Q Z !

The Defenders are very pop- ular in tEe category of the law programs. E. G. Marshal and Robert Reed portray the part of a father and son lawyer-team who have a very well-established practice. Their cases and their clients-hold the viewer's in- terest to the end. The spine-chillers are again popular this year. The Twilight Zone which is now an hour long, has each week a different unforgettable, way- out story written by Rod Sterling. I assure you each story will keep you at the edge of your seat until the very end. Thriller with that scary character Boris Karloff as host is still one of the leading spine-chillers. Anyone for mystery? Well, the leading man for mys- tery is Alfred Hitchcock Pre- sents. Each hour long show is filled with lots of suspense BHG excitement. The Beverly Hillbillies are perhaps one of the most popular comedy programs today. Buddy Ebsen who portrays the part of Jed Clamperts, while shooting a rabbit on his pro- perty, misses, but up comes a fortune in oil. CAs the hill- billies call it Hblack goldnj.

Jimmy hated algebra. He had tried, but nothing helped. The numbers and letters scat- tered about meant nothing to him. He teacher, ML Stewart, did not help matters. He had little patience with anybody and none at all with Jimmy. Jimmy's marks were failing, and Jimmy could not bring them up. It was a black Friday, when, just as the bell rang, Mr, Ste- wart announced a test for Mon- day. Jimmy walked home dazed and unhappy. jimmy could not get the test off his mind. He decided to mount the steps and spend a few vain minutes staring at his al- gebra book. He opened to a page of barely comprehensible problems. He read them once, and again. Nothing came of it. Again and again! And then he 42 found-something he knewL HP quickly scrawled it down. The fog was lifting and the com- plications were becoming clear. Jimmy finished the problems and checked them! He felt like shouting! Ignorance had turn- ed to comprehension, and con- fusion, to understanding. Monday was fast in coming, and the test was over quickly. The next day the papers were returned. Mr. Stewart started with the lowest marks. He com- pleted reading the names of the failures. Jimmy's name was not among them. Then he read the sixties, seventies, and eigh- ties.

Scientists are needed to conquer the problems and to understand the mysteries of the past, present, and future. There are many opportunities for research, for example, in the vast field of physics. In nuclear energy, there are still seemingly insurmountable obstacles to be overcome if nuclear energy is to replace the dwindling sup- ply of natural fuels. Other phases of research physics deal with light, sound, energy, and temperature. Another branch of science im- portant to researchers is elec- tronics with an open field in the categories of transportation and communication. In communication, the Telstar satellite is broadening the range and usefulness of television, but it will take some time before it will become practical for home consumption. In transportation, satellites and rockets are rela- tively in the infant stage in the vast world of space travel. Physics and electronics arei largely in the developmental stage. There are, in addition opportunities in biology, a study vital to man's health and growth. The study of biology includes the categories of medicine, sur- gery, and medical research. The recent study of cells CcytologyD may some day lead to a cure for cancer. Opportunities in engineering are likewise vast. Geology deals with the earth, its rocks, oceans, and glaciers. Archaeology, the fascinating science of ancient civilizations and their structures, is adven- turous and rewarding. Mathematics is last but not least as a basic background for all other sciences. It includes the important fields of statis- tics and computation. The vast scope of science in this modern era provides a fa- scinating and rewarding experi- ence for gifted young men and women.

These classes also give you a chance to consider home economics as a career. 1 Home economics is divided into four parts: millinery, clothing, novelties, and cooking. Each of the four classes is equipped with necessary machines and tools which are at your disposal. Our millinery teacher is Mrs. Jones. In this particular shop, you learn how to knit and block hats. Some of the hats which come out of this shop are exquis- ite. Miss Mathews' cooking shop has five miniature kitchens equipped with stoves, sinks, utensils, pots, pans, and dishes. Here you learn how to make cakes, puddings 44 1 soups and many other dishes. Mrs. Brown's clothing class has several sewing machines, irons, and ironing boards. Here the girls make blouses and skirts. They select a suitable pattern and material. Then they fashion the fabric according to the pat- tern, et voila, one has another addition to her wardrobe. Novelties is conducted by Mrs. Halpern. Here the girls make items which may be given as pre- sents or may be used to decorate a room. Included among the fin- ished products are stuffed ani- mals of all sizes and shapes, dolls, and needlepoint tapestry. You have probably enjoyed some of these classes in the past year, and you still have something to look forward to in your coming years at Walt Whitman Junior High. Agnes Friedman Xl I x 07 Eggffz THB BOYS' SHOPS In the electric shop, under the expert supervision of Mr. Schacter, students learn the prin ciples and practices of electric- ity. Pupils can make anything from electric bangoes to crystal radios. This shop is one of the few in the city equipped with a ham sending and receiving stat- ion. In Mr. Moore's metal stop,pup- ils construct many useful pro- jects. Pupils learn to read and understand job lay-outs. Then this knowledge is put to use in making projects such as waste- paper.baskets and ash trays. Mr. Moore also instructs his students in the operation of various mach- ines, such as the drill press and lathe. Mr. Erdin occupies the small- est shop in the school, the wood- shop, but he utilizes every inch of space in instructing boys in wood-crafts. Boys learn the use of important hand tools: the saw, the plane, and the hammer. Skills learned in this shop will be put to practical use by every boy who intends to own a home. Mr. Sugerman's printing shop is actually a well-equipped print ing plant. Pupils learn how to check type cases and how to count letters. Mr. Sugarman trains his students in print-shop discipline to prevent accidents. He teaches his students by means of ingeniou sound movies created by himself. All of the shops, electricity, sheet metal, wood-working, and printing play an important role in rounding off a pupil's learn- ing experiences in a junior high.

He lived upon an island mares, his colts, his band, With his And one dark night he whistled, He snorted, and he ran: He trotted along the leeside, Where the waves of the ocean break, HILLCROWN He bucked, he lashed, he galloped Yet on his back a weight. He roared, he neighed, he whistled, His heart was filled with hate. He did not want a master He preferred to die in the fight He unhorsed the man that rode him Jumped a cliff of tremendous height. + w w He charged a threatening figure, His freedom was at stake.

MARCH MEETING At the March meeting of the Walt Whitman PTA held in the school auditorium attendance was more than double that of usual meetings. The increase was attributable to par- ents eager to see and hear the new principal of I.H.S. 246, Mrs. Florence E. Hornung. By way of introduction Mrs. Horn- ung gave a brief, informal talk in which she praised her predecessors for the fine work accomplished in the past. She also discussed her views on education and school man- agement and briefly outlined her goals. The principal discussed a vig- orous interest in the PTA program and demonstrated her readiness to further its improvement. After the meeting refreshments were served and parents chatted personally with the new principal. Those who attended this meeting were unanimously impressed by the personable, energetic and resource- ful new head of the school.

Judy Kaplan, president of our G.O., in well-chosen words, wel- comed Mrs. Hornung in behalf of the student body. At the G.O. rally in October girl participants sang songs and danced in praise of their parties Candidates' speeches later were well-received by the student body Miss Dwyer again presided over the annual talent show. Songs, dances, and the playing of musical instruments featured the program. Under the aegis of Miss Rudolph, the Arista Assembly was a noteworthy success. The pro- gram, conducted by Arista mem- bers, stressed the meaning of Arista. Arista members outlined qualifications. They stressed the fact that one must attain at least a 90? in all major subjects and a 751 in all minors, plus a certification of character and service to become a member of Arista. Miss Aschetino presented a most lavish program of Spanish rhythms and music. The entire cast was recruited from Miss Aschetino'S Spanish classes.

Under the direction of Mrs. Serotoff and Miss Dwyer, pupils sang a large variety of songs. Richard Berman OUR ANNUAL TALENT SHOW A spirit of festivity was in the air during that memorable week in December as the perform- ers hurried backstage.

Every class in our school was represented. Preliminary class- room contests produced well- qualified contestants. These candidates were trained and assisted by Mrs. Stella Baker, teacher in charge of the Public Speaking Contest. Clean and. polished performances were given in the auditorium during school assemblies. Contestants were judged on choice of selection, memorization, pronunciation and enunciation in- terpretation, phrasing, clarity of voice, poise, and posture. THB BROOKLYN BOROUGH STUDENT COUNCIL The Brooklyn Borough Student Council is an integral part of our school system. The Council was de- veloped to encourage students to participate in discussions and de- bates on problems of school and community on a borough-wide basis. A representative from each junior high school in Brooklyn takes part in BBCS meetings. Each delegate is a courier carrying his school's ideas to the Council. Many problems of one school can be solved by so- lutions arrived at in another school. The Brooklyn Borough Stu- dent Council undoubtedly encour- ages leadership and citizenship of the highest order. AFTBRSCHOOL CENTER -The Afterschool Center of Walt Whitman Junior High offers a wide variety of activities including instrumental music, woodwork, electronics, arts and crafts, in- ter-class sports, and community dancing. The afternoon classes are in session from 3-5 o'c10ck every day. The dance programs are scheduled for Friday and Sa- turday nights, The Instrumental Music Class meets once a week under the su- pervision of Miss Dwyer. Stu- dents in Miss Dwyer's group need no previous experience in playing a musical instrument. Individual training provides an opportunity to learn either orchestral or band music. Pupils in the instru- ments group supply their own in- struments. kit The afterschool workshop is open to both boys and girls. Members meet daily from three to five under the excellent supervi- sion of Mr. Schacter. The scope of work ranges from simple wood- work to intricate electronics. The shop provides an opportunity for children to work with tools under expert supervision. Mr. schacter takes a personal interest in the progress of every member of his group. Available in the workshop is a ham radio station. Mr. Schacter and his squad have frequent con- versations with local ham radio operators and occasionally make long distance calls. -Y-44 The afterschool boys gym is well attended especially when there is inter-class competi- tion.

But it stands for much more than its meaning indicates. Arista symbolizes honor, scholarship, service cre- dit, and most important of all, citizenship and character. Belonging to Arista is a great advantage. When you get older and apply for college entrance, entrance boards will give more consideration if Arista is listed as one of your accomplishments. ' At least a ninety in all pre- pared subjects at the end of the fourth marking period is a pre- requisite. An Arista candidate must likewise make Honor Roll the first marking period of the following year. HAH in conduct and at least a good in character traits is also essential. The Arista Senate decides the worthiness of Arista candidates. The present Arista Senate has as its able members Miss Rudolph, Mr. Elovzin, Miss Mahoney, Miss Tiernan, Mrs. Friesner, and Mr. Costello. Theodore Weiss VISUAL AIDS SQQAD The Visual Aids Squad is supervised by Mr. Jackelow. The members of this squad do an ex- cellent job operating the six- teen millimeter sound, film- strip slide, and oblique project- ors. During auditorium programs, they operate spotlights. They perform a great service to our school. SERVICE SQUAD The Guard Force is the most important, largest and probably the most efficient squad of the school. It is run like a mili- tary force. Mr. Cassuto the gen- eral or supervisor, gives instru- ctions to the captains, Dominick Nicoletti, Terry Davis Coak Cannon John Casazza, and Cedrick Simons, who, in turn, give orders to the lieutenants. The lieutenant gives instructions to the guards in his squad. Then the guards carry out these instructions. Each squad has a certain duty to perform. There about fifty guards on the force, each per- forming his own special job every day of the week. If a guard does not do his job well, he is dismissed from the service. If a student fails to cooperate in preventing accidents he is given detention. The main difference between a military force and the Walt Whitman Guard Force is that the purpose of the Guard Force is to prevent accid- ents before they happen, on the stairway, in the halls, and in the yard. A guard has certain obligations He must be on post at 8:20 A.M. and again at 12:20 P.M. He is constantly aware of safety pre- cautions Every guard at Walt Whitman is proud of his position and thank- ful that help his he can do something to school. The Walt Whitman Guard Force is therefore highly respected by other students. By guilding up leadership, respon- sibility, and dependability, the Guard Force has become a vital force in school life.

' 3 -- Mr. Ben Cassuto and Members of the Squad 72 4g A TRIBUTE TO OUR TEAM AND ITECEH The 1962-63 basketball sea- son at Walt Whitman J. H. S. proved to be the best it has ever had. The team came as far as the borough semi-finals losing to Sands Junior High School by only three points C51-485 Coach by Mr. Ben Cassuto, a fine athlete himself, our team trained regularly and displayed some remarkably excellent of- fensive plays, not to mention that our defense was also out- standing. Our team showed its jumping capability at the cen- ter and other jump balls, on offensive tapping, and rebound- Our team was led by our six- foot-three-inch center,.Coak Cannon, who was the scoring leader and rebounding ace. The star guard, Ronald Tishkevich, had an excellent season scoring just short of 270 points C267D. Also Eugene deEugenia, and Alan Perry proved to be two fine de- fensive and offensive players. Great improvement was evident in the record of our star for- wards Valentine Rodreguez, who finished as one of our leading scorers. Basketball is not only a game of skills and agility, but also a game of sportsmanship and brains. You can be assured that our team desplayed worth.

Here our team came against an- other top rated team called Cunningham Junior High School. At the end of the first quarter, Cunningham was ahead by a very slim margin, but, by the half, we were well in the lead. Af- ter a good old-fashioned Brook- lyn basketball game, we came out the victors. Some of the more noticeable things in the game were that our team played a clumsy first quar- ter but came right back to show off our fine defense and excel- lent teamwork in the remaining quarters. Cunningham seemed to have a one man team with one man always taking the outside shot but was one of the fastest teams I have ever seen. Our ace rebounder and high scorer, Coak Cannon, led us to a well- deserved victory by scoring twenty-four pointsg Alan Perry, a fine defensive and offensive player, sparked the team with thirteen points. The final score was 59-41. The second playoff was again played at Midwood High School. This time we faced one of Staten Island's finest teams, Markham Junior High School. This game was a harder one for us for we encountered several players be- yond the six foot mark. Never- theless, our six-foot-three-inch center, Coak Cannon, controlled the center tap and the boards. In this game our good teamwork and superior defensive play pre- vailed. Fine ball-handling of our starting team helped us through the full court press many a time. Needless to say, the sweat and toil were well worth it, for we were on our way to the quarter finals of the borough championship. Our final game was played at the Brownsville Boys' Club Gym. Here we played against Sands Junior High School whose p1aY6rS were well over our height. Aft- er leading at the half, our team lost the game by the narrow mar- gin of three points. We were out of the competition but we were proud of our record. Coak Cannon was again one of the highest scorers and our man be- hind the scenes, Mr. Cassuto, coached a good game. With a coach like Mr. Cassuto and a team with unpredictable poten- tial, Walt Whitman can well be proud of its performance. MR. BEN CASSUTO- COACH MANAGERS SfanIey Bodzin 9-5 David Sackoff 9-5 AVG.

His eyes narrowed with hate and disgust, he looks at the nervous pitcher as one looks at some insect or sub-human form. Not acknowledging the cheers of the hysterical crowd, he smirks as the pitcher throws three straight balls. Positive of his superiority, he permits a strike resembling a bowling ball pass down the center of the plate un- molested. He is ready now, and the blood-hungry crowd knows it. They lean forward apprehensively like vultures circling a dying man. The smile gone from his face, he looks at the pitcher as if to say, UCome on, busher, an- other grapefruittn The ball, now resembling a bullet in speed and appearance, is thrown. He takes a mighty swing, as if to put the ball in orbit. The en- tire assemblage is shocked to see a miserable bunt a few inches in front of the home plate. The batter exerts himself mightily to reach the haven of safety, first base, before the despised ball. By a streak of fortune the ball is overthrown and the batter confidently streaks to- ward second. But Lady Luck is fickle. The ball is hurled to- ward second base long before our jaunty athlete can reach the bag. Tagged out at second, a sadder but wiser athlete walks back to the dugout like a losing army general, to a chorus of rep- rimands from his team. 7 Theodore Weiss XLL X, ::- Ggwudl ff 5' HSPORTSH--FROM THE GIRLS' POINT OF VIEW Years ago it was considered absurd for girls to participate in sports, yet today girls are joining and winning contests in all phases of physical activity. Sports is especially popular among girls at Walt Whitman, largely because of the enthusi- asm of our gym teachers: Mrs. Nonas, Mrs. Bauman, and Miss Zuckerman. These highly capable teachers have organized and di- rected competitive games and ex- ercises in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Girls are taught to compete in overtake, deck-tennis, volley-ball, punch- ball, relays, and squad games. In addition, they learn many types of exercises including push-ups, sit-ups, and thrusts. They take a PSAL CPublic School Athletic Leagueb test and must be able to meet qualifications. As the girls go through the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, they learn more about these ac- tivities. In the ninth grade, there is a special test given to check ability in the exercises learned to date. An important feature of the gym program is the yearly dance festival. This festival, held in May includes all grades. This year six dances were performed. They were the Russian Medly, Hap- py Polka Faida Blankita, Salty Bog Rag, Corrido and Hava Ne Gela. Costumes for each dance were ap- propriate to the type of dance and country from which each dance comes. The costumes were color- ful and typical of the nation from which the dance originated. Dancers included, seventh, eighth, and ninth graders. The dance fes- tival, directed and produced by Mrs. Nonas and Mrs. Bauman,proved to be one of the best auditori- um programs of the year.

If we look around our city, we will see a large variety of op- portunities to practice physical skills as well as chances to learn new skills.

Likewise surprising was the playoff between the two great rivals, the HArtfulH Dod- gers and the HReally Hotn Giants. The Giants won the first, lost the second, and won the third by scoring in the ninth inning. In the series between the Giants and the Yankees, the Yankees fought to the death and won, four games to three. This year the Dodgers will once again seek revenge and try to take the pennant and the ser- ies. Most of the teams will start off with the same rosters as last year. The Mets, however, have been buying and trading men like wildfire. They are getting most of them to improve their hitting power. Once again, Met Gil Hodges will be starting at first base in his seventeenth year of pro-ball. In the other league, the Yanks will have more trouble in getting the pennant. Their rivals will probably be the Twins, Angels, and the White Sox. Snady Koufax, the Dodger south paw, who hurt his pitching hand last year Cin the middle of the season and left his strikeout re- cord at to beat This year of erybody 2093 will be trying again the record of 368. season will also be the the HHome Runn with ev- trying to beat Maris' record of sixty one home runs. It surely will be an exciting S63.SO1'l. Fred Avner STAN MUSIAL Stan Musial is going to play for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1963 for his twenty-first sea- son. When Stan first came up to the Majors in 1941, many experts thought he wouldn't last long on account of his peculiar batting stance. How wrong they proved to be. He sparked the Cardinals, hitting .357 in '43, in '46 he hit .365, in '51 .355, and .351 in 1957. During Musial's rookie season,he helped the Cardinals win their first pennant since 1934. After a year in the Navy, Stan returned to the Cardinals in 1943. In his sophomore year, he shot right to the top, winning his first batting title, and first MVP. In l944,he just lost the batting title to Brooklyn's Dixie Walker by ten points. In 1946 he hit .346, and once again won the MVP. Year after year Stan was always leading in most of the batting contests, and proved to be one of the games greatest su- per-stars. All together Stan has won three MVP awards, and seven batting titles. It is impossible to mention all of Stan's records, because he holds so many of them. Stan's greatest achievement is that he made more hits than any other Major leaguer, except Ty Cobb. When asked about retirement, Stan replied: Ulf there is a younger player ready to take my place, I'd gladly step aside.H A. Busch Jr., owner of the Car- dinals, said: nSince when do you ask a .330 hitter to retire?U Fred Sharpe 79 Nl .2 KQAQWQT ,,.

Some of us will go on to college, some of us will go to work. From our class will come the scholars, technicians, teachers, doctors, and perhaps the leaders of the future. I would like to thank not only for myself but for the rest of the graduating class our princi- pal, who, at the head of our school, led us forward with skill and ease, the adminstrative staff, our teachers, and per- haps, most important of all, our parents, who were always at our side when anxiety filled our minds. In the years to come, unheard of challenges will face us all. Yet, we will be able to meet these challenges head on, because we will have been trained here at Walt Whitman to meet these chal- lenges and to conquer them. As we grow older, we will look back with pride upon our days here at Walt Whitman Junior High. Our years here will be remember- ed long after we have become use- ful members of society. Once again, permit me to thank Walt Whitman Junior High School, its faculty, and its administra- tion for making the years we have spent here pleasant, and for mak- ing it possible for us to become the June 1963 Walt Whitman gradu- ating class.
