The ar- ranged program was interesting and well organized. In the spring, a new slate of officers was elected. A new idea of having an Amateur Nite with the talent recruited from the stu- dents themselves was put forth. Again the attraction was successful due to the tireless efforts of the officers. Special credit is due to Jacob Heller, who produced and directed the show. An Inter-Yeshivah Council was set up to deal with the joint problems of the three high schools of Yeshivah University. 3. f... I f- : 1, pi ' ?5H.t.

An innovation introduced by the Debating Managers this year was a new scoring system which emphasized a scientiiic approach to judging. This brought a uniformity in scoring which was lacking heretofore. Since debating entails a large amount of historical knowledge, many debates were shifted to the history period. In intramural debating, there were two leagues in which each class par- ticipated in five debates. The leaders of both leagues then clashed during a special assembly, and medals were awarded to the winning team. There was also an extensive program of inter-school debating in which T.A. achieved an impressive record. ,xl P X Debafing Jacob Heller Orating be6ating Society vs! 4 l Service Squad Bernard Erlbaum - Captain The Service Squad members are everywhere. They patrol the halls, the gym, the library and the grounds of the school, maintaining order and keeping the school clean. They are a conscientious group which gets little thanks for a job well done. This past term a precedent was set when the G.O. elected a captain of the Service Squad. His job was to supervise the work of the squadsmen with an eye for greater efficiency. Bernard Erlbaum, our captain, performed his job admirably well. 1 The Service Squad In Acfion QA future case of the Student Courtj yd ' 7Vq ny ,33 5 .., I X: '3--iq - - 1313,-,. -U I 5 : . xfi' 1 3 i L i 5 library Rabbi joseph D.

It is of invaluable assistance to the student who has to do exzra research. A library must match strides with the growth of its student body and we can be proud of our library for it has done so. A steady stream of new material reaches the library daily. The latest peri- odicals are on file for the student's use. Mr. Lebowitz has done a splendid job in amassing new material and in completely reorganizing and syszematizing the library. This year has seen the addition of a new branch to our library. Through the efforts of many charitable people, a library especially devoted to Hebrew culture and literature has been set up, Under the direction of the noted scholar. Rabbi joseph D. Epstein, the library has steadily increased its facilities. The library received an impetus with the asquisition of the personal library of Rabbi Bernard Leventhal, Chief Rabbi of Philadelphia.

My home, prior to Wforld War II, was Poland, that agricultural country to the northeast of Germany, which has been continually brow-beaten by its always powerful neighbors. This time, it was the German Wehrmacht, spearheaded by Panzer divisions, that took but two weeks to conquer a feebly resisting Poland. Prior to this, Eastern Poland had been in Russian hands, and Wfestern Poland in German hands. Those Jews in German hands were herded into ghettos, to be sent to concentration camps later, while those Jews in Russian territory were sent to Siberia. Faced with no other alternative, many jews were forced to es- cape the confines of civilization, and find refuge in the all-concealing forests. However, it was not long before Germany was in complete control of the whole country. Not only jews, but many other Poles had escaped to the wilderness, among them former soldiers in the Polish army, equipped with various arms. These partisans were a troublesome thorn in the hide of the Nazis. However, in this case misery did not love company, and, shunned by the Polish patriots, the jews were forced to fend for themselves. They broke up into small groups, and spread throughout the hinterlands, surviving as best they could. In an isolated spot in the northern confines of the forest, I found myself among some fifty others. We hastily counseled, and decided to form a band, remaining together for the duration of hostilities. My brother Simcha, thirty years old, handsome, and a fair marksman, was chosen for the latter attribute mainly, as our leader. I was then twenty-five years old, somewhat of a marksman along my brother's lines. I was therefore appointed to assist him in the protection of our improvised community. As our first plan, we decided to construct an under- ground bunker. All of us would work on the building, except my brother and I, who would scout out from the Camp to watch for disturbances. The building of the bunker, which occupied our attention continuously, was no easy task, especially ElllflIl'yN NUM: This is fl frm' 1It'l'1Pllllf of 1,1-,fl1'f+1f1uw luzizl lay fl tliflhfllll nf the rmllmr, us lolfl lu flu lffffliur.

As a substitute we sharpened stray tree branches, and with these began to dig. As the people were comparatively settled, my brother and I skirted the edge of the wilderness to observe what was occurring outside of our shelter. We came upon a railroad embankment. There a train would pass every hour. More impressive than this symbol of civilization, was the seemingly stately figure of a German soldier standing guard, complete with rifle, pistol and ammunition belt. We instantly realized that this equipment would be a great boon to our limited resources. Inching forward on our stomachs, we approached our quarry. Wlithin nine feet of success we were spotted.

A shot rang out and I felt a sharp pain in my left arm, but I couldn't allow myself the luxury of worrying about it. My fist pushed into his belly, while my brother clubbed him on the head. After a few minutes the man appeared lifeless. We tied him up and left him on the railroad tracks. Sick with exhaustion and nervousness, we returned to our camp, carrying with us the soldier's arms and equipment. We were not nervous for fear of the Germans, for we knew that they would never comb the sniper-infested wilds, merely to avenge the death of an unimportant sentry. What worried us was that we had killed a human being. We solaced ourselves with the thought that the arms would be necessary for the survival of many people. Simcha realized that the immediate problem was one of provisions, The completion of the bunker would come later. My brother and I, together with two others prepared for the expedition. Simcha holding the pistol, and I the rifle, we left the en- campment late one night and approached the near- est homestead. We had hoped to take the neces- sary supplies quietly, but such was not our lot. A barking dog emerged from the shadows, and I was forced to silence him with my knife. The entire household, awakened from their sleep, and quite bewildered, rushed to the main room, where we stood with drawn guns. We explained that we were partisans, in need of provisions. We warned them not to contact the Germans, for should they do so, they would not live through the night. Tak- ing along as much as we could carry, including some tools to assist us in the construction of our bunker, we left by a roundabout route, so as not to indicate the direction to our hideway. For six months we worked on the construction of the bunker. The work progressed during the winter months, but until the bunker's completion we had no protection from the elements. We dug holes in the snow, and rested there. To our great sorrow, many of us could not survive the double dose of building and weather. By the time the blessed spring had thawed us out, only forty-three of the original fifty-two had Survived. A system for protection and survival was set up. Three different youths were sent out every day to obtain provisions, by any means fair or foul. Two -60 others followed at a distance, ready to defend the three should they be ambushed. Another three per- sons Were set up on perches on trees near the out- lying section of the camp, to watch for approaching danger. We never had enough arms. Once, when my brother and I, dressed as farmers, were walking outside the confines of the forest, a motorcycle policeman approached and asked for our passports. Feigning to search for his identification, my brother whipped out his revolver, while I disarmed the policeman, who was too pre-occupied with my brother to notice me. We stripped the dead driver and placed him near his motorcycle, which we had wrecked, under a nearby tree. Another time a look-out came running with the news that a German soldier was nearing our area. Silently, Simcha stole out the back entrance, climbed a tree, and observed a German soldier trailing one of our group who was carrying a load of provisions. Acting instantly, Simcha jumped down from his place, calling: Hands up! as he dropped. The German raised his hands, and we escorted him to our bunker. He confirmed our hope that he was alone, merely following an unknown person who had stolen a loaf of bread. Thus we existed until 1943. During the month of May, of that year, we met ten other Jews who had been living our kind of life for the PHSI year. How- ever, they had been befriended by a farmer, who kept them well supplied with food and ammunition, and who, we later discovered, was only too happy to assist us also. His hate for the Germans was unquenchable, as his only son had been killed fight- ing them while in the service of the Polish army. Upon one memorable instance, he and my brother, both of whom were attire-d in German uniforms stripped from the Feuhrerys own on various ven- tures, left on an important mission. Their guise as Germans helped greatly as they removed a large sup- ply of dynamite from a nearby arsenal, Through the help of this ammunition, we were later able to blow up a supply train as it passed the stretch of track near the forest. Such was our life until the defeat of the Third Reich. Now, as I reminisce over my experiences, I real- ize that our long and hard light to keep Poland free for Jewry was in vain. This holocaust and the ensuing victory in no way improved the position of my people, Many of my fellow jews, who after surviving the tortures of Nazism, came home hoping for peace, were killed by their Polish neighbors upon their return. There is a solution, however, which has materialized in more miraculous a form than any adventure which befell me. There is now a national home for the jew, where he may live freely. There I live at present. At last I have found a resting place! I now give happily of my time and energy, for I know that I build for an eternal future. Ll1 Fear By MELVIN ZELEFSKY Have you ever wandered through A graveyard dark and dreary? On a midnight damp with dew With willows hanging limp and weary? When the owl's screams send shivers running up your spine Sets your mind to thinking of the goblins on the vine When the faraway hounds howling at the moon Sets your heart apounding to the laughing of the loon. Yes fear has such an amazing might The strongest of men are afraidg To them the shadows of the moonlit night Appear like demons on parade. Yet that reverent man so kind and old None would think him brave nor bold Past the graveyard onward he would plod He has no fear except the fear of G-Cl. 'iwllj llf' flva f NN, 1 f l r , v ll Ur: I w- . Il! -61,- SYHI IEVVRY IN 1908 New York's lower East-side witnessed the coming of a new people to its already well crowded section. The tinge in the new neighbor's face was of a darker hue than that of the customary immigrant. The customs and fashions which the newcomer brought along differed from the al- ready well established practices of East-side Jewry. But then there was a reason for all these contrasts to the well formulated practices. Here was a dif- ferent type of jew who had had no contact with his Ashkenazic brother for hundreds of years. This new member was the Syrian Jew. The sudden immigration had its roots in the Young Turks' Revolution. The program of the Young Turks in the modernization of the Near East consisted of economic, racial, and religious tenets that conflicted strongly with those of the Syrian Jews. Instead of remaining to be guinea pigs to the numerous persecutions inflicted on them, they left quickly. They fled from their native towns of Alep- po, Damascus, and Beirut to different parts of the globe, a great number choosing New York as their refuge. Adjustment to this new environment was dith- cult. They had neither knowledge of the language of the country, nor friends who could help them. Starting out as peddlers, they worked long hours for low wages just managing to survive. Though they often hovered on the brink of disaster, they did not despair but kept on struggling until they Bnally achieved a respected station in their community. In the comparatively short time of half a cen- tury, a rapid transformation had taken place. No longer were their numbers confined to the East-side but Bensonhurst, Flatbush, and Boro Park became new grounds for settlement. Their children had overcome the language barrier and were able to mingle more easily with those around them. Rabbis were soon brought over to teach, one of them being Rabbi joseph Kassin of Israel who is the present Chief Rabbi and spiritual leader of the United States' Syrian Community. In 1926 the Syrian Jews By MARVIN BLACKMAN established their own synagogue. Last year their dream of a Yeshiva was realized. Located in Benson- hurst, Yeshiva Mogen David is the first Sephardic Yeshiva established in the United States. Wfhen one visits a Syrian synagogue one is im- pressed by an array of colorful customs which have developed during hundreds of years of isolated exist- ence in Syria. Upon entering the synagogue on a Sabbath, one immediately notices that these people cling to their religion. There is hardly an unoc- cupied seat to be seen. Young and old will be noted wearing the Talis . When the Ark is opened, we see the scrolls of the Law, adorned with beautiful flowers. Wfhen read, the Torah remains in an up- right position. As the people leave the synagogue, they scent their hands and faces with perfumes poured from an iron flask. Different customs are observed during the vau- ous holidays. On the seventh day of Passover, the anniversary of the crossing of the Red Sea, the con- gregants begin celebrating with prayers and songs in the early hours of the morning. The Great Sabbath, the Sabbath of Repentance, the Sabbath of Remembrance and the Kalah Sab- bath are commemorated with long and inspiring sermons by the Rabbi. The last mentioned Sabbath has a very interesting history. After the destruction of the Second Temple, Jewry was dispersed through the whole of Babylonia. At this period the Jews were mostly farmers. During the greater Part of the year they tilled the soil. The two months' in- terval called Kalah Monthsv which was not devoted to the land was spent in the Yeshivah where the populace listened to rousing addresses by the Rabbis. This tradition has been maintained to the present day, with the Rabbi delivering an address on the Sabbath Of Kalah . Though transplanted to shores far removed from their original source of culture, Syrian Jews have succeeded in making their mark in the United States, while retaining their great spiritual individuality. and the Jews HE jews as a theme in the works of Christian artists is a not too recurring one. But upon one Christian painter they exerted considerable influ- ence. The name of this artist was Rembrandt Van Rijn fR.V.R.j. In the seventeenth century, there lived within the midst of the jews of Amsterdam this renowned master artist. Many people seem astonished at the utterance of this greatif1gure's name in connection with the jewish people, then considered an inferior group. But, as we shall see, the jews were quite devoted to him, and he showed his gratitude with masterpieces of portraiture that will outlive the ages. During that era, Holland was one of the few places in Europe where the Jewish people found tolerance, comfort, and even, in some respects, equa- lity. It was to this center of refuge that scattered individuals and later groups of Marranos Qews con- verted to Christianity who preserved Jewish cus- toms in secretj fled from the unbearable furnaces of the Inquisitions in Spain and Portugal. They settled in the southern section of Amsterdam where they returned to the faith of their fathers and, as religious jews, adopted the name of Sphardim . Meanwhile, a second group of jewish refugees fleeing the pogroms of Germany, and a third band fleeing from Poland, also found their way to the open door of commercial Amsterdam. Their customs were different from those of their foreign brethren, the Sphardim, and they therefore settled in separate but allied communities. Each faction built its own synagogues and continued its respective modes of life and traditions. As is the custom nowadays, rich people in those times commissioned famous artists to have their portraits drawn. However, many wealthy jews ab- stained from having their likenesses recreated on canvas because of their religious beliefs. It was art's good fortune that the Sphardim and Askenazim lj In various pictures, R.V.R. depicted her with a large Bible in her lap, absorbed in the perusal of its pages. By HERZL EISENSTADT Qas the Northern European jews were titledj had different outlooks on the painting of human faces and figures. The former, a wealthy class that had come into close contact with the Renaissance in Southern Europe while they were disguised as Chris- tians, retained the practice of having pictures of themselves and others adorn their homes. Therefore they did not consider themselves infidels The Ash- kenazim, on the other hand, abided closely by the second commandment which states: Thou shalt not make any graven image unto thee or in any manner of likeness of anything . . . In the museums of Europe and America one will often see paintings of aged, bearded scholars titled Portrait of a jew or just Anonymous These figures are representative of those whom Rembrandt loved to depict: the Ashkenazi jews. No doubt, these people were of the sect which preached no re- creating of human images, yet Rembrandt has used them many times, and successfully, as models. The impression left upon the beholder of one of Van Rijn's jewish portraits is, in most cases, that of view- ing people of spiritual eminence and scholarly inclin- ation rather than people of business fthen the major occupation of the population of Amsterdamj. Since the love and admiration of the Hebrews of that time was centered upon their spiritual leaders, art critics presume that it was their images which Van Rijn was commissioned to preserve for posterity. Through them, Rembrandt has immortalized the pillar of the jewish community, the most powerful symbol of its life in exile, the Rabbi. A second phase of Van Rijn's interest in jew- ish life is his scenes taken from the daily life of the jews of Amsterdam. The first, called The jewish Bride , depicts a majestic woman adorned in the raiment of her wedding day. She is splendidly attired, and is shown seated in a chair and holding a scroll in her hand. The traditional bridal veil is shown by her side, and the scroll is interpreted by IIIOSI people to be her Ketubal1 or marriage con- tract. The second picture, designated The Synagogue. .m65,- is believed to represent the religious life of the Ashkenazi Jews. It shows a group of men, in the attire of the poorer class of Holland, gathered out- side of a shul . Moreover, it demonstrates their customs in that QU there is no Ezras Nashim as in the Sphardic shuls, but instead the women prayed in an anteroomg 12, the door to the synagogue was usually inconspicuousg and QED Rembrandt, evident- ly impressed by the deep symbolism, clearly por- trayed the steps leading from the door down to the first fioor, usually below ground level. This con- struction was based upon the words of the 130th Psalm: Out of the depths have I called unto Thee, O Lord . Incidentally, whether 'by accident or de- sign, Van Rijn painted exactly ten men, known as a Minyan . Another theme to which Rembrandt returned time and again is the Bible. From the time that his mother had read aloud to him from the Bible, lj he had often looked into it himself, and he gathered from it ever new inspiration. It was the Jewish Bible that especially spurred his imagination, for it contained not only one but many central figures whose emotions, activities, and reactions were those of mortals, not of gods, and thus more suited to his, and to his contemporaries', type of art. Rem- brandt was, in essence, a naturalist who aimed to approach nature as closely as possible. He met jews who were descendants of those biblical figures that had so deeply interested him, and their presence suggested the idea of using th-em in his paintings. Also of worthwhile note is that in the theatres of those days plays based upon Jewish Biblical themes were frequently presented. There can be little doubt that pictorial representations of these themes were in demand. R.V.Rfs works found encouragement and acceptance. To summarize briefly his Biblical scenes, I shall cite the following. Rembrandt avoided the days of creation, a frequent theme of preceding artists. To him, the Bible began with the transgression of Adam and Eve. By radically departing from the accepted portrayals of them as a pair of beautifully 21 Rembrandt and the Bible by Franz Landsberger. 33 Rembrandt was familiar with the Hebrew alphabet for he often used it in many of his religious paint- ings: It is believed that he studied the Hebrew langua-ge at a Dutch University. -64 created beings, he depicts them after their sinful acts as objects of scorn and disgust. Their features and figures and those of the wicked serpent are dis- torted to unattractive proportions. His prejudice, morals and imagination are clearly reflected here, as in many other instances. He pictorially tries to judge and assay either manls sin, greed, and wicked- ness or his noble and God-fearing qualities. jacob was a favorite character of R.V.R. An etching shows Jacob Caressing His Son Benjamin who is joyfully playing with an apple. This picture is representative of the intimacy of Jewish life. 2, Another sketch shows Jacob Blessing Menasseh and Ephraim . Van Rijn had not forgotten how joseph attempted to sway his father's hands so that the right would be upon the headl of the elder and the left upon that of the younger. This action is clear- ly portrayed. The inclusion of joseplfs wife in this scene, even though not mentioned in the Bible, is based upon the Midrash. One painting definitely stands out to those fami- liar with the Prophets. In it a woman of middle age is shown seated upon a chair with a book in her lap. A boy with folded hands is kneeling beside her and is evidently being instructed in his first prayer. In the background is a couple holding an infant in their arms. The picture is regarded as re- presenting Hannah tutoring the child Samuel. The couple in the background are believed to be Hannah and Elkanah, who are first bringing Samuel to the Temple at Shiloh. This assumption is substantiated by the fact that on the wall of the room are two tablets with the ten commandments written upon them in Hebrew. 31 Completing the above series, there are three pictures covering the story of Samson and Delilah, a theme which fascinated our artist. The banquet scene has Samson's betrothed perched elegantly upon a throne, dressed as the maiden in the jewish Bride . On the table before her is the cup from which the wedded couple drink wine together, again attributed to R.V.R.'s knowledge of Jewish tradition. The two other paintings consist of fly Samson's Indignation at the Trickery of his Father-in-law and Q21 The Blinding of Samson . We may be proud of the fact that the Jewish people were to a notable extent influential in the production of famous works by a renowned Chris- tian master who, through his work, has given pleasure and enlightenment to the world of art. fain Zednfece HE most striking feature one encounters in a perusal of john Steinbeck's works is the sheer literary genius with which the man is endowed. Con- noisseurs of literature the world over acclaim him as a writer with a sure but subtle feeling for literary effect, a storyteller with infinite skill in shaping the stuff of our lives in forms that delight the mind and the imagination. One of his more enthusiastic ad- mirers refers to him as a born musician, a finder of melodies, a natural shaper of harmonies, a Schu- bert or a Brahms .1j The reason for the esteem in which Steinbeck's works are held is not too easy to explain. It is not simply because of the lifelikeness or thruthfulness of his writings - these skills are at the command of many second-rate authors. There is something more present, a skill which defies exact description. It is probably a combination of various abilities such as verve, gusto, a delicate and individual touch, rich imagination, and boldness and freedom of expression. Whatever that skill is, Steinbeck has it in abundance. It must be admitted that this esteem for Stein- beck's writings is not universal. The last named quality of freedom of expression makes for a certain ruthlessness or cruelty in its treatment of human nature. The lack of compromise with which Stein- beck uncovers man's inhumanity to man does not always make pleasant or relaxing reading. There are some who think this boldness of writing over- done, that it is unkind and somehow immoral to present the truth so nakedly. They argue that there is no need for profanity or brutality in a novel. To this Steinbeck answers, . . . The speech of working- men may seem a little bit racy to ladies' clubs but since ladies' clubs won't believe that such things go on anyway, it does not matter.

Beach, Pg. 310 63 By HERBERT DYM facts of life and those who find this distasteful will have to resign themselves to it. Steinbeck's works deal primarily with the lowly people of the world, that is with the simple, help- less people for whom the question of the next meal is the major problem of daily existence. His greatest work on this subject is the world-famous Grapes of Wrath . But before producing this superb masterpiece Steinbeck served his apprentice- ship with two earlier books which were widely read and hailed by most critics. The first of these was T0rIil121 Flati' f1935j and the second was Of Mice and Men 119571. TORTILLA FLAT is unmistakably a literary feat. This book is a skillful blending of graveness and playfulness, of sweet simplicity and gentle humor. The subject of the book is the paisano of Monterey, who is, as Steinbeck tells us, a mixture of Spanish. Indian, Mexican, and assorted Caucasian bloods. He speaks a mixture of English and Spanish with a paisano accent . He lives on the outskirts of the town of Monterrey, has little property and is even less subject to the civic and financial troubles of other citizens. Steinbeck's particular subject is one Danny and his friends Pilon, Pablo, Portagee joe, Jesus Maria Corcoran and a certain ragamuffin called the Pirate. These men have no occupation, but live a catch as catch can existence, never looking any farther than the next meal or jug of wine. When Danny's grandfather dies, he leaves him two small unpainted hous-es as an inheritance. Danny promptly occupies one and finds himself for the first time in his life a man with a roof over his head, burdened with the cares of property. Unable to carry this burden alone, he invites his friends to join him. They occupy the second house, but never pay him any rent except for an occasional purloined chicken or jug of wine. Shortly, in their childlike irresponsibility. they burn down their house, and then promptly move in with Danny who welcomes them on condition that no one occupy his bed but himself. The Pirate and his five mangy dogs soon join them. A special corner is assigned to the dogs. and they all live happily together. ln writing of Danny and his friends and of the eventful life they lead, Steinbeck brings his literary skill into full play. In his sure but subtle manner he brings the paisanos to life, endowing them with the quaint and humorous characteristics that merge them so successfully with their habitat. He presents them as frank in manner, fond of wine and women, full of charity, piety and good nature, and ingenious in their odd ways of obtaining food and drink. At the same time they are shiftless and lazy, ignorant and superstitious, inveterate if petty thieves, and closely akin to drunkards. On the whole they are charming in their simplicity and quaint in their un- conscious humor. Steinbeck answers the critics who were looking for a definite theme, thusly, Far from having a definite theme running through this book, one of the intents is to show that rarely does anything in the lives of these people survive the night . One may conclude, therefore, that the blend- ing of these people with their background is an artistic circumstance and not presented as a social problem. STEINBECICS next major literary venture is in a way in a very different vein, as far removed as possible from the gentle comedy of Tortilla Flat . Of Mice and Men is a tragic story of a friendship among migratory laborers, told with a blunt direct- ness and a severe economy of words which serves effectively to heighten the drama of the story. It is the tale of two men whose custom it is to move from ranch to ranch, earning a little stake, spending it in town as soon as they get it, and passing on to another place where money might be had. One of these men is the mentally defective Lennie, huge of frame and colossal in strength, but as simple as a child and helplessly dependent on the care of his friend George. Although Lennie is a millstone round his neck, George is deeply attached to him, knowing that without him Lennie would be hope- lessly lost. The huge Lennie has a child's passion for small animals, which he loves to petg but his strength is so great that the frail creatures are in- variably broken and killed, to his great sorrow. Although Lennie earnestly wishes to keep from doing wrong, he is constantly getting into trouble, de- pending on his friend George to extricate him. Final- ly, with the same good intentions, his great strength claims a woman for its victim, and George is forced to kill Lennie in order to save him from lynching. One simply must read this book in order to appreciate fully the degree of humanity and beauty with which Steinbeck invests this tragic episode. The almost paternal aiection of George for his blundering friend and the sore, numbing grief he suffers over the necessity of finally dispatching him by his own hand - all this is brought home without any use of direct or sentimental phrase. It is Stein- beck's subtle effectiveness at its best, bringing his characters to vivid life. Throughout the story there lies the background of life in the bunkhouse, show- ing the essential decency and pathos of these rough, homeless men whom circumstance has condemned to a life of squalor. The story points out effectively the sore plight of these unfortunate migratory workers, but Steinbeck felt Qalthough many disagree with himj that he did not get across the earth longings of a Lennie who was not to represent in- sanity at all but the inarticulate and powerful yearn- ing of all men . Thus we see that in this book, unlike in the previously mentioned one, Steinbeck was not content only with the strictly imaginative fac- tors of the drama, but strived for a deeper meaning. CN looking back it is not too difficult for one to see how these two novels laid the groundwork for Steinbeck's greatest work. By the time he came to Grapes of Wfrathi' he had acquired the experience and the deft touch necessary to make this novel both a literary masterpiece and a powerful sociological thesis. It is undoubtedly the finest example produced in the United States of the type of novel that deals primarily with a social problem. The story of Grapes of Wrath is simple and unadorned. It is the tale of a family of tenant farmers in Oklahoma, the joads. Their crops are ruined by the great dust storms, they are deprived of their land by the banking syndicate, and like thou- sands of other Okie families they decide to em- bark on the long overland trek to California in the hope of finding employment. They acquire a rickety second-hand Hudson six, convert it into a sort of motorized covered wagon, slaughter their pigs for food, take along such possessions as are indispen- sable, and set out for California. The joads are typical of the self-respecting peo- ple of old American stock who hardly had enough to fill their bellies. Their speech and manners are crude. but there is in them a sound root of wisdom and generosity, of courage and persistence. Tom, the eldest son, although a fine boy, has killed a man in a brawl. He is breaking parole by leaving the state, but he cannot abandon his family. Ex- preacher Casey, the thinker of the group, has lost his faith in religion but is ardently seeking to find the way of truth and righteousness in human affairs. The strongest character of all is Ma, a veritable tower of strength in all that concerns the family welfare, and whose great mission is to keep the family intact. But it is her misfortune to see the members of the family fall away one by one under the stress of their experiences. The story describes the hardships of the journey to California, the deaths of Grandpa and Grandma, and the surprise of those remaining at finding them- selves unwelcome and despised in California. They are pushed around by the police, and fail to find decent employment. Casey is killed by strike-breakers, and Tom becomes a fugitive from the law. Daugh- ter Rosasharn's husband deserts her and her baby is born dead in a box-car during the autumn Hoods. The last scene shows Ma, Pa, and the three remain- ing children taking refuge in a barn where they find a man dying of starvation. Rosasharn nurses him back to life with the milk nature had intended for her child. Again it is necessary to read the book in order to gain the full flavor of the intense drama and poignant beauty which lie behind the simple narrative style in which Steinbeck presents his story. It sum- marizes, in essence, what must have gone on thou- sands of times in the great tragedy of the dust bowl. By the ingenious insertion of short but power- ful chapters which digress from the main narrative to cover the general situation, Steinbeck gives his story a broadening aspect, encompassing the hordes of mortals who are involved in the same epic migra- tion. Thus, along with the concrete incidents, one sees the social forces at play which give rise to these incidents. A fine example of this is the well-known chapter seven, with its dizzying riot of sales talk, bewildered and frightened farmers, old tires, wheezy motors, bargains, prohts, and overall confusion. It is extremely well developed, almost like a poem in free verse. This book as a whole, as well as Steinbeck's earlier works, leaves several pertinent questions un- answered. Exactly what his economic theories are and how he proposes to apply them are difficult to ascertain. His books offer no specific answers to these questions. They point out what we already know: that our economic system, our methods of production and finance, involve innumerable instances of cruel injustice and hardship. It is clear that Steinbeck holds the community responsible for the man without work or food. He intirnates that what cannot be cured by individual effort must be met by collective measures. It is important that people be made aware of the unsolved social problems within our system, and an effective way of doing this is to present actual vivid instances of these problems by means of fiction. For this reason, Steinbeck's works, particularly Grapes of Wrath , are docu- ments of educational value. Steinbeck's works gain emotional power by deal- ing with social problems, but what makes them notable works of fiction is the very effective dramati- zation of these problems in individual situations and characters. Steinbeck's people are colorful, pitiful, racy, disorderly, well-meaning, ignorant, loyal and obstinate. They are brought to life by Steinbeck's unsurpassed skill as an author. Although these novels have been written re- cently, it is safe to predict that they will remain foremost on the list of great American literature. By the same token, john Steinbeck has assured him- self of a niche in literary history alongside America's greatest authors for his masterful writing technique and his deft characterizations as exemplified in these novels. fb , A Stud In Geniu HE freeing of a people from the shackles of bondage is a long and difhcult process, and one that requires many leaders. However, the release of music from the bonds of conformity and classicism, and its consequent emergence as an independent art, was accomplished by Ludwig Van Beethoven in a relative- ly short time. There was not one phase of music that escaped the attention of Beethoven's genius. The arts of symphony, concerti, opera, sonata and chamber music composition were all changed by one man. The changes that were wrought shaped the develop- ment of music for succeeding generations. Beethoven was born into a poor and somewhat musical family. His father Johann, a musician, was never too successful in his profession because of his affinity for drink. His mother was a simple woman, devoted to her son. Young Beethoven showed a fair amount of talent at an early age, and his father decided to take advantage of it. Mozart, the child prodigy, had successfully toured the continent. jo- hann was determined to give his son an opportunity to make his mark in society, The arranged tour was not successful and the father returned a disillusioned man. In his late teens, Beethoven went to Vienna, the center of 'iusical life, with the financial assistance of Count Wfaldstein. Wfith the aid of this generous nobleman, he was introduced to the aristocracy. He soon became the rage of society because of his virtuosity and his ability to improvise on any given tune. The attitude of Beethoven toward the aristocracy which supported him, clearly shows his contempt for the forced inferior position which they imposed on his fellow musicians of that era. As a result of Beethoven's inflexible position, the musician attained his self respect and true worth in society. Up to Beethoven's time a composer had to rely on a patron for his subsistence. He spent his whole life pouring out work after work for the editication of his usually unappreciative patron. The classic example of 'this prototype is Haydn. Haydn spent over thirty years in the service of the Esterhazy family composing his By HERBERT LEIBOWITZ many symphonies and string quartets. This musical stagnation riled Beethoven's independent spirit. He resented being looked down on when in reality the composer, being a creative force of society, should be looked up to. Beethoven's attitude is reflected in the following incident. One day, while he was stroll- ing with the great German poet Goethe down a narrow street, a royal party approaching from the opposite direction sought to pass the compatriots by. Goethe stepped aside to let them pass, but Beethoven stood still, just nodding, His impassivity shocked Goethe who believed in the imperium of the upper class. Beethoven began taking lessons in counterpoint from Haydn, but the two forever fought over Beeth- oven's ideas. The cantankerous and classical Hadyn was peeved at, and troubled by, Beethoven's origin- ality. The two soon severed relations. The split was predestined, for Haydn represented the death of classicism with its stolidity, and Beethoven repres- ented the birth of romanticism with its accompany- ing emotion. Yet, it took many years before Beeth- oven grudgingly admitted learning much from Haydn. Beethoven began to compose with a prolific pen and his first two symphonies were performed while he was in his early twenties. The people and the critics did not understand the music, calling it dis- sonantg though Mozartean in style, it proved too radical for them, and was not a financial or artistic success. It is very strange and somewhat tragic that the greatness of a composer is never recognized until after his death. just about this time Beethoven received the first warnings of his impending deafness and as a result became subject to fits of despair. That a composer should lose his hearing is as cruel as a painter losing his eyesight. The musical world was unprepared for the next thunderbolt from the pen of Beethoven. His third symphony, subtitled the Eroica , completely stunned them. Its very length, being twice as long as any previous symphony, was deplored. The audacity of putting a Funeral March in the form of the forgotten fugue in a symphony, astonished even the avant- garde of the time. However, as time is the true judge 68- of worth, the Eroica today is recognized as a mas- terpiece and its length is not annoying to the ear. The symphony symbolizes freedom in the most pow- erful sense of the word. Beethoven, who was in- fluenced by the French Revolution, wrote the Eroica to express the feelings of an oppressed people liberated from the bonds of slavery and servi- tude. The majestic nobility of the Funeral March is enough to touch even the most bitter hearts. Beethoven was a great lover of nature. An ugly man, repulsive to the eye, he loved to wander through the hillsides of Austria to communicate with Nature's loveliness. His Pastorale symphony reflects this great love of nature. It was the first example of program music. Beethoven found in nature a refuge from the incessant bickering that perturbed mankind, and from his own deafness. Nature caused him to raise a joyful voice to Heaven in a song of gratitude to the Creator and an increased output flowed from his pen. The contribution of Beethoven to the field of opera was great despite the fact that he wrote only one opera, Fidelio. The topic he chose was, again, freedom of the individual. The orchestra was given more prominence and the dramatic meaning of the opera was increased in importance. These changes were the precursor of what Richard Wagner wrought later on. Fidelio caused Beethoven much grief due to its lack of popularity. It so embittered him that he never wrote another opera. The next phase of Beethoven's life was very un- productive. He wasted his time, and, more important, his strength, as the legal guardian of his nephew. The frivolity and shiftlessness of his charge preyed on Beethoven's mind and caused him to stop com- posing. It was only after he painfully severed rela- tions with his nephew that Beethoven, realizing he did not have much more time to live, started to com- pose again. .Beethoven became morose and went into temporary seclusion during which time he wrote the greatest of all symphonies, symphony number nine, with a choral movement based on Schiller's Ode to -joy O friends, no more these sounds continue! Let us raise a song of sympathy, of gladness. O joy, let us praise thee! . Beethoven long had toyed with the idea of using Schiller's text, and it was only after much deli- beration that he finally decided to inject the choral movement into the symphony. There were many innovations in the writing of the symphony. The kettle-drum, given a prominence as never before, is used to remarkable effect. The third movement is called the epitome of Beethoven's many slow movements . The fourth Movement in- corporates the chorus in the symphony for the first time. The impact of the chorus is so great that it intensifies the cry for brotherhood. Such eloquence has never been surpassed in the annals of music. There was an element of tragedy at the conclusion of the first performance of this symphony in Vienna. With the audience loudly acclaiming him, Beethoven heard nothing as he continued beating time after time the coda. He had to be turned to see the acclamation. Beethoven continued composing and in his last works, sonatas and string quartets, he reached the depths of introversion and maturity. He died amid a tremendous clap of thunder just as Lord Byron had died. ' It was very apt that the free world, fighting against the tyranny of Hitler, adopted the opening theme of Beethoven's fifth Symphony as the symbol of victory against despotism, for all his life Beethoven fought against all that Hitler exemplifled. Beethoven was a revolutionist and his effect on musical composition will be eternal. His greatness, though, is manifested even more by his love for his fellow man and the brotherhood he hoped for. lf we were to live up to the ideals set for us by this great master. the world would be a much better one. -ggm TIME By JOSEPH KAHANE I've sat and pondered many a day About this question of age.

As seen through the powerful Kurian telescopes 400 years ago, the Green Planet seemed to be a potential paradise for the teeming masses that inhabited Kur. It was known that two-legged creatures dominated the planet but Komar considered them to be only savages and easily overcome by the Kurians. Before he would trust sending a colonizing ex- pedition by way of the anti-gravitational machines, he sent some exploration expeditions to get a closer look at the planet and to bring back pictures of it and of its intricate details. The first expedition should have arrived there about 1660. It had not returned and Komar waited 250 years for a more perfect antigravitational to be made before sending the second and third expedi- tions. These two also had not returned. The fourth expedition had been sent in 1940. It was now 1946. Twenty anti-gravitationals had left Kur in four expeditions and none had re- turned. The population of Kur had trebled since the last census, and according to Komar's original plan, the colonization was to have begun 200 years ago. He wondered why none of the expeditions had returned. The last machine had been sent equipped with an automatic homing device. While Komar was contemplating the problem, his viewer-phone rang and informed him of the return of the latest machine. He quickly went to the landing station and entered the machine. The members of the crew were dead, without a visible mark on them. Their features were a hideous contortion of terror. It had been ages since Komar had seen a dead Kurian. and it enraged and disgusted him at the same time. Komar examined the photographs taken by the ill- fated expedition, and found that the last plate showed red and black colorings and nothing else. What was it about these photographs that could have shocked his explorers to death? Did the same thing prevent the other expeditions from returning? Komar decided with grim determination to find out for himself. Another exploratory anti-gravitational By BERNARD ERLBAUM was prepared. It was outfitted with pilot, navigator, photographer, and scientist, with Komar as observer. Levar was appointed as head of Kurian affairs while Komar was gone. Levar was an Anti-Colo- nialist, and believed that Kur itself had facilities to give adequate homes to all native Kurians now, and for many years in the future. The trip was an interesting one for Komar, who had never before left his own planet. Soon the Green Planet was sighted, and the tremendous speed of the anti-gravitational was decreased. To Komar the sphere seemed more beautiful than it had through the tele- scope. He could not conceive what this wonderful thing could possess that had terrined the former expedition, thus causing its destruction. As the anti- gravitational entered the planet's atmosphere, Komar saw a silvery object floating through the air toward him. The object was a flying machine, obviously inferior in all respects to the Kurian anti-gravita- tional, but it was undoubtedly piloted by one of the more intelligent creatures that inhabited the planet. Komar, unwilling to make contact as yet. ordered a speedy getaway. As the machine sped over vast areas of blue, and then beautiful green plains, the photo- graphic mechanism worked steadily. The machine was speeding serenely along when suddenly the green below was interrupted by a mass of expanding red and yellow, that consumed the green and transformed it to black. How disgusting. Komar thought. He asked the scientist what this strange red mass was. The scientist answered that it was completely strange to him too. but that he would gladly analyze it if S0me of it could be gotten. Thereupon. a specimen of the unknown substance was obtained. and the scientist touched the red portion. lt stung him, and blackened his limb. Undaunted. he examined it more closely. Suddenly terror spread over his features. for it was an oxygen-eating, carbon-creating beast that probably inhabited this planet. We will never be able to settle here. he thought. All at once the thought of a creature that devoured oxygen struck them. This was a planet inhabited by a beast that was consuming the Kurian's sole lifeamaintainer .lt an enormous rate.

But they are now the Lord's, He won't let them perish in limbo, as mortals may. .-.723 Changing Views Of The American Revolution elving into the life of the times that tried men's souls has produced a number of novels of the American Revolution. These novels can be classified according to the period during which they were written. If the book was published on or before 1880, the writers were too close to the revolution to have a true perspective. Consequently, these writers saw the revolution purely as a military in- cident and busied themselves with a resume of its strategy and gloriiication of its heroes. All the Redcoats and Tories were pictured as villains while Wfashington and his men were the heroes. The notable exception of this school of thought was James Fenimore Cooper, a writer who tended to present both sides of the story. His novel The Spy , pictured the war as distinctly fratricidal. Recent novels show a clearer perspective of those times. They have been more frank in presenting the ignoble as well as the heroic aspects of the war. Many of them reverse conventional opinions of the past including traditionally held opinions of men such as Benedict Arnold and Thomas Paine. There also have been tendencies to make a case for the Tories and the English. . I shall attempt to delve at length into the treat- ment accorded to the last named individuals or groups by writers past and present. The case of Benedict Arnold will be considered first. Past writers have made his name synonomous with that of traitor. They Pictured him as a jeal- ous person constantly in debt, one who betrayed his country for a price, and as one who was only too glad to have the chance to hand XVest Point over to the British. A story is told of the prisoner who was asked by Arnold what the Americans would do to him if he were captured. The answer came promptly. They will cut off that short leg of yours that was wounded at Quebec and Saratoga and bury it with all the honors of war, then hang the rest of you as a traitor. This more or less was the opinion of most of the early writers on Arnold. However, a new concept of Benedict Arnold has emerged with present day writers. Kenneth Roberts By MARVIN BLACKMAN in his book Rabble in Arms sheds a completely different light on Arnold's so-called betrayal. In order to explain how he arrived at this conclusion, a closer look at conditions during this period is necessary. Congress at the time was different from the pres- ent day Congress in these respects. It had no Presi- dent who could assist it, and no Senate to control it, neither Supreme Court to guard and direct it, nor Cabinet to inform it. Because of these condi- tions it had no power over the different states. Yet, since it exercised control over our army it was the Government even though the states would not admit its authority. Inasmuch as it did not have the powers to tax, and since the currency it printed had no value, it was obliged to turn to some source for money. And so it turned to France. By doing so, it put a sort of desperation into the hearts of the patriots who knew France and the French. Congress was extremely prejudiced on the subject of the French. Any French officer who came to Congress demanding a commission in the army re- ceived it immediately, regardless of his ability or lack of same. At the same time, it still withheld from Arnold the rank of Major-General despite his brilliant efforts which had so amply earned it. Arnold knew at long last that the muddle-headed politicians in Congress who were piling blunder upon blunder, were. in spite of all our sacrifices, forcing us closer and closer to chaos, into the eager arms of France, a nation whose grip would be more despotic and tyrannical than that of England. To this world Arnold said Noi This imbecilic. coward- ly Congress must not destroy the freedom that we have fought so hard to gain. If Arnold sought to give everything to England until we had regained our strength. it was done only with the highest, patriotic intention to tight .1 threat greater than that of England. It was only an occurrence that could not have been foreseen that branded Arnold 11 traitor. This was the Constitu- tional Convention that corrected the inetiiciencies of Congress. Had this country fallen into French 75- hands, Arnold might have been seen in the light of a hero and not that of traitor to his country. The next case I should like to consider is that of another patriot, Tom Paine. Early writers described him as a filthy little atheist. They completely forgot his rallying the American forces, giving them the incentive to fight the Eng- lish. The fact that Paine had written a treatise called The Age of Reason which completely broke down many religious principles and completely de- bunked religion, overshadowed all else. They also found fault with him in that he had written a letter to George Washington, villifying him. This did not hurt Washington but it did damn Paine. Modern writers, however, such as Howard Fast in his book Citizen Tom Paine take a more lib- eral attitude. Fast sees in Paine a writer whose words in Common Sense and The Crisis Papers stirred and spurred his new fellow countrymen far more than any other words by tongue or pen, with the possible exception of that of the Declaration of Independence. While all men were hesitating over the audacity of final separation from Britain, Paine spoke out. Why falter? Why delay? Be free. A great destiny is before you. Show yourselves worthy of it. He preached Federal Union, that petty jeal- ousies and local narrowness be forgotten. Our great title is 'Arnericans', our inferior one varies with the place . It was he who coined the phrase THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Fast acknowledges that Paine wrote The Age of Reason. Does that detract from the fact that Paine was really one of the main reasons for the success of our country . . . and one to whom we as a nation owe a debt? He throws insults on the people who denounced Paine, a man whose slogan was ever Nil Desperandumn. On Paine's return from France he was denied the right to vote. Here was a man whose efforts towards the establishment of our government helped estab- lish this right of suffrage, being denied the right to vote. Because of this, Paine's slogan Nil Des- perandum was aptly mistranslated in later life into Nothing but despair . My last subject is how writers have treated Rebels and Loyalists. I don't think I have to devote many words to the subject of how writers of the past depicted Loyalists . The reason is that today, after the lapse of 150 years, readers still do not like to hear of the rascality of the patriotic leaders nor of the brutality of Tory-baiting mobs. When Kenneth Roberts recently published his book Oliver Wis- well , which defended the Loyalist viewpoint, a storm of criticism was unleashed. Had this been written when public opinion did not permit any deviation from the accepted viewpoint of Loyalist treachery, burning this writer at the stake would have been possibly the lightest sentence imposed. Oliver Wiswell is, in short, an apologia for colonials who remained loyal to the crown. They had taken an oath of allegiance to the king, and since their opinion of any one who renounced that oath was a low one, they believed themselves in the right. They were in the majority, and their battalions fought valiantlyg but they had the mis- fortune to be caught between the British regulars who refused to consider them competent, and the Rebels who regarded them as traitors. In this book John Hancock is depicted as a smuggler, Patrick Henry a rabble rouser, and Samuel Adams a snob mistrustful of the Sons of Liberty . The British also come in for their share of debunking. It is apparent from the above illustrations that the era of the Revolutionary War has been given varied treatment by writers of fiction both past and present. Early writers regarding the Revolu- tion as a military incident, busied themselves with reviewing its strategy and glorifying its heroes. Latter day writers, through different perspectives, have reconstructed its social and economic phases and have given greater attention to the civilian ele- ment. Some recent writers have chosen particular controversial incidents of the war rather than great names. A revisionist attitude has developed in re- 74- gard to characters like Paine and Arnold, among others. The sense of bewilderment over changing conditions now enters the picture, and the bungling on both sides of the conflict has been exposed. 1 The times that tried men's souls have produced a great number of historical novcls, each one endeav oring to present to us a clearer picture and better understanding of our American Resolution ge ghd 7445 Zac: Weze gum Whether from the mountains, Or the prairie, or the sea, The sunrise and sunset, Are like miracles to me.

And in the winter, when the snows Have covered all in white, Purity does seem to reign, And say that good is right. So, whether a mid-summer's night, Or some crisp, cold, winter's morn, Forget your strifes and troubles, and Be glad that you were born. f 5Q By ALAN SCHER We are very proud to announce that the following graduates have won State Scholarships this year: ll- CHARLES COHEN HERBERT DYNI NIENDEL GURFEIN ISAAC SHERMAN DAVID SILBER JACOB SILVERNIAN NOAH TEITELBAUM -1 1 lVe are equally proud of those graduates who have won State Scholar- ships in past vcars. ,761 ASSISTAIX 8: STEEL DESIGNER 84 DETAILER FOR NORTHERN INDIANA FABRICFITING PLANT Job-Salary Open wnm: on cl-ru. 4 AIIAY STEEL Co.
