To the most worthy among you will soon be opened the doors of the new Yeshiva Buildings, academic and serene, founded upon Torah and the love of God, walled with inspiration, toweretl with the heautv and the strength of Israel's immortal ideas and concepts of life, and lsrael's unique destiny, consecrated to the glory of God and His Torah. The cherished dream of a Yeshiva Col leg is now, E gy 5 -K 7 -1 3 hecome reality. The E gy s 5 fi 3 will soon har- moniously include the na- 55:9 T-H5-5. in the true spirit of our E - - 5 n -3 7 D For the knowledge and the service of the Torah are the goal of the Yeshiva, all other learning and activity serving hut to for' ward, to strengthen, to hring to fuller real- igation, this its fundamental ideal. Recogni:e that all this expended effort and thought, all the result of these great endeavors and sacrifices, is for you, and for those who follow you, to afford you a ful' ler, homogeneous training, to enable you to contemplate the trials and the triumphs of life, the concerns of your own living and your personal achievements, in the light of the Torah, and of the ideals upon which the Yeshiva is founded, and to which it is for' ever dedicated. Let us strive to he worthy of the great spiritual and intellectual opportunities that are opening hefore us: and may you all, even those of you who find it necessary temporarily or permanently to leave th: walls of the Yeshiva, take with you and carry in your hearts the life-giving message and teachings of the Yeshiva, so that the spirit of God will guide your lives and His glory till the Yeshiva. THE ljl.Cll.'XNITIj Thirteen The Yeshivah College Dr. Sbeffey I At a meeting held March 29, 1928, the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York authorized the Yeshiva College, empowering it, as an integral part of the Rahhi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, to give courses in liheral arts and sciences leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. The aim of the,Yeshiva College is to allord a harmonious union of culture and spirituality, to hring into the field of Amer' ican education the contrihution of the Jewish perspective upon learning and knowf ledge, where Jewish studies will he an inf tegral part ot the course in the humanities, and general culture will he included in the curriculum of those who prepare themselves for the rahhinate and for teaching. The Yeshiva College will dedicate its energies to the education ot' a small numf her of American jewish young men of promise, introducing them to the cultural attainments ot' all mankind in the tields ot art, physical sciences, and social sciences. It will educate lwoth liherally and tlewishly those who have already heen imhued with the spirit and sanctity of -ludaism and its R . A5116 f if teachings. The studies will he conducteil in an environment that is spiritually symf pathetic, where the lay and religious inf fluence will mingle freely to produce a mind that is consistent in its outlook and is capahle of seeing the harmony of life While it is not expected that the Yeshf iva College will take its place in the near future in the forefront of our higher in' stitutions of secular learning, it will, never- theless, aim to maintain high academic standards. It is expected that the Yeshiva College will attract to its faculty a group of creaive personalities who, in addition to having achieved recognition in their respec' tive fields of work, will he imhued with the jewish spirit and the Jewish philosophy of life and ideals of conduct. It is expected that the Yeshiva Colleg: will open for the academic year 19291929 in the fall of this year. During the coming year and for several years thereafter, until the time when a separate college huilding will he erected on the east side of Amster' dam Avenue, the location of the college will he in Group A of the new huilding, now heing completed. lt is the present intention to give only the first year ot college work during the academic year 1U2Sf1'1Ifl, ln succeeding years, additional work will he otlered until the full fourfyear curriculum leading tothe haccalaureate degree is completed. Such lahoratory equipment as may he needed for the science courses to he given during the coming academic year will he provided. ln addition to the main lilirary, which will he located on the lirst and second lloors of the new lunldings, there will also lie collections ot' reterenee hooks Fourteen THE ELCHANITE in connection with the various departf ments. Such other additional apparatus, equipment, and supplies as may be needed in the various kinds of work offered by the different departments will be amply provided. The Hrst year course of studies leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science has already been ap' proved and registered by the University of the State of New York Qlvlay 3, 1928, as giving college credit, and as applied toward qualifying certiiicates. lvlatriculatcd stud- ents who satisfactorily complete the work of the freshman year will be entitled to the law sudent qualifying certificate based on one year of college work. The credits are recognized as of equal value with those of any other college or university under the general supervision of the State Depart' ment of Education. Of special significance and value to first' year students will be the orientation or surf very courses in the mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences. The course in mathematics will extend throughout the year and will present a highly integrated and thoroughly unied presentation of mathematics. In the course in science an attempt will be made to sum up the funda- mental principles of those sciences that have a controlling influence on social and indusf trial life, and will be followed by work in one of the sciences so as to acquaint the student with the methods of scientific thinking and the development of laboratory technique. The course in social sciences, which will extend throughout the year, will attempt to summarize the principal factors underlying the historical development of our modern political, economic, and social conditions. ln general, the aim of these survey courses will be to give to students a per- spective, a general survey of the entire cur' riculum, so as to assist them in choosing with undertsanding among the fields of study that are open, and to lead them to coordinate their intellectual interests from the beginning of their college work. Each one of these courses will be conducted by several members of the faculty, each giving that part of the work which he is most qualified to conduct by reason of his train' ing and experience, Occasionally, outside men will be invited to give lectures in portions of the work in which they have won wide recognition and distinction. Candidates for the baccalaureate degrees will be required to offer for admission a four year course in an approved secondary school or equivalent, in addition to certain requirements in Talmud and Hebrew. The admission credit offered should consist of the following 15 units or approved equiva- lents: ARTS COURSE Prescribed English ........,................... .........

' THE ELCHANITE The Hrst division is concerned with those subjects which give a mastery of the tools of study, such as mathematics, a foreign language, and the vernacular, necessary in- struments in terms of which one acquires further knowledge. The second division aims to give the ne- cessary facts of life,-facts that deal with its social organization, its scientific develop- mentg facts that every intelligent and edu- cated person must have at his command. The third division aims to prepare for cultural enjoyment and for intelligent leis- ureg for an intelligent reaction to the arts of life, such as literature, the fine arts, and music. The fourth division is concerned with the subjects and practices which lead to a healthy body and with the devolpment of an interest in health-giving physical activity. The fifth division concerns itself with religion, and religious and Semitic studies. The entire curriculum is divided into two sections. Section A is prescribed. Sec- tion B is elective. The total number of credits to be secured for graduation is 128. Of these approximately S5 are prescribed approximately 43 are elective. The elective studies are grouped so that intelligent con- centration will be assured. The plans call for a concentration of a maximum number of credits in one subject and one depart- ment. For this reason the curriculum is organized in to 9 or IO departments as follows: Foreign Language English Classical Languages Semitic Languages Social Sciences -- Economics, Soci- ology, Psychology, History, Education. Mathematics Physical Sciences Philosophy and Logic Hebrew Fifteen The required electives shall be taken as follows:-not less than ten in one division and not less than ten in a second division. The remaining credits, which will be ap- proximately twenty, may be taken accord- ing to the individual preference of the student. This arrangement will therefore guarantee concentration in two divisions and will leave the student approximately twenty credits to be used in further con- centration or in following a more diffused program, whichever will better serve his cultural or professional needs.

SIMCKES LEON STITSKY ai -Lg L7 :rv :Tlli7'Iy'SlX THE ELCHANITE Heavenly Discourse In a downy basement, we, the Class of june, 1928, assembled at our auspicious sendfoif. With ponderous dignity we seat' ed ourselves about lusciously bedecked tables. The Kitchen Cook had exerted all his culinary genius in preparing this meal. Skeptically we expected the fly in the ointment -or at least in the soup. It was a meal worthy of Tutfankfhamen. fIt could not hurt him anymorej As for me I awaited the meal with mis' givings. I had heard disconcerting rumors of unfortunate students who had been be' guiled into partaking of one of the Kitchens infamous repastsg black tales of woe of students doubled up in agony and staggering into the open air. Below, in that horid torture room, our cook concocted weird recipes to suit the student palate. Thus, in a steaming caldron, deviltry was cooked with black magic for an unsuspecting june, 1928 class. And what a meal! S'?if:Z'Wp!:, etc. The tea tasted like nitrofglycerine and the meat still had the saddle on it! All in all it would make Lucretia Borgia's a most vicious poisons seem like dessert. After the first bite I knew I should not have come. I took a last about me before I succumbed and saw my classmates' faces distorted with pain. The room spun around me fantastically. I seemed to weigh nothing! I just floated limply, wafted by the breeze, I ros: up up, up. Puny New York sank into nothing' ness. My last glimpse of the city was the Vfoolvvorth Building which looked like miniature tower of Babel. I continued to soar till I could see nothing but a mass of ncbulous clouds, I faintly wondered what heights I would eventually attain. Dream- ily I looked about me and saw a sparkling gate of gold whose summit rose to an im' measurable height. On it was inscribed: ffl- fi W fihfilllll H I ll L J , A .iiflff .ffo , This way to Heaven. Follow the green line. At the entrance to Heaven a venerable old man with a flowing white beard stood clasping a huge book of gold upon which was engraved, Angel Gabriel, P. A. At first glance I knew he was averse to my entering for he was thumbing the pages of his book skeptically. Hum, he muttered. Copying on your Regents, eh! Go to H-ll He dismissed me with a wave of his palm. I fleetingly glimpsed into Heaven and saw Georgie Gross, in all his angelic splendor, wander- , ffx X7 - Xi ,fly , l K I Z THE ELCIIANITE ing about like a babe in the woods, while creeping along the ground at his feet was a hooli-worni none other than our studious Irving Ganz. I was then prodded hy the trident of old Pluto himself. He was a sliek individual with his red clothes like Santa Claus and his pointed tail, I realized with forhodings that Hell wouldn't he any eineh while he held the whip.

Since its origin the Yeshiva has suggested an embryonic ideal ready to sprout out into full bloom. Its organizations have never been ignored-its institutions always adhered to. The tendency has been to ref vive old customs and to imbue them with a new vitality. And to these pioneers, whose indomitable spirit still urges us on, all praise is due. They have set an enviable precedf ent for us to keep pace with, and lest we slacken our stride let us organize new clubs, foster the newlyfformed ones, and continue our old ideals. The clubs have been organized under divers forms. Some aim to propogate int' erest in a language, in culture. Others aim to provide amusement for the school and to stimulate interest in current topics. Mr. Rakowit: and Mr, Schxvartzbaeh have performed notably well in this new prac- tice. As a diversion from our studies these are excellent opportunities. XVhy not take adf vantage of these new activities? An exam- ple of increased scholastic interests are the elections. Competition has been so keen and vigorous during the elections one would expect the schools interest to continue throughout the semester. l-loxsever, our stimuli very often do not outlast the elcc' ioneering. The elections are not merely a polling of votes: they mean cofoperation. The executives cannot provide ample bene fits for you if you are indifferent to your own welfare. You are often skeptical of the schools scholastic worthiness, but the fault lies mainly with you. We have a library, debates, sports, clubsffcan you ask more of a school of our proporitions? We offer you everything' you partake of little. The executives alone cannot continue ac' tivities. One cannot govern without the governed. Students, you have a xvide field of activf ities before you. In our new building you will have the opportunity for more extcnsf ive attractions. Carry over our organi:a' tions as a foundation and erect bigger and betteri' ones. Only by uplteeping the old ones can new ones be evolved. They can be improved. indeed! But only a kecner inter' est can do that.

With how profound a feeling of relief does the student, upon the conclusion of the term, bethink himself of this outstanding fact-school is over ! In his eyes, he is a most fortunate individual, who, having been compelled to trudge along under the burdens of school routine, has finally reached that point where he is all lowed to dispose of them. Intermingled with this feeling of relief is a sense of pride. For the moment he regards himself as a distinctive individual among those around himg for what good fortune of theirs is comparable to that which he has now at' tained? True, he may be mistaken in this attitude, for Life is after all so large and complex, that the end of a High School term is merely an insignificant event in one's life. But one must realize that the student has not yet become acquainted with the intricacies of life in its broad, practical senseg his ideas are yet limited to thc four walls of the classfroom, and it is by his achievements within this sphere that he estimates his progress. Leaving behind his schoolfcares, the student turns to his plans for the coming summer months. Now that the opportunity for a bit of recreation is offered him, the Yeshivah student, who spends practically nine hours each day in school, is going to use it to full advantage. Vv'hethcr he in tends to spend his summer in leisure, or whether at a job , the fact remains that it will be a desirable change from the tedious order of periods and trooping every forty' tive minutes from room to room with an onerous number of books under his arm Such a desire for a change does not at all imply any loathsomeness on his part for school and studiesg for relaxation is essen' tial in any laborioos pursuit, mental as well as physical. The eflicient mind, in order to remain so, must continually be granted periods of rest wherewith it may gather new bits of vigor into its recesses. It is a veritable piece of machinery which must be oiled now and then. Thus, when the student closes his books at the end of the semester, it is not with a feeling of disgust, but rather of exhaustion: it is out of the realization that he must look to new fields to regain that mental energy, lost through the sixfmonths' process of draining upon the mind, The end of the term brings along an invaluable lesson to the student, one of more significance than those he has mastered in the various subjects: it is a lesson which teaches him of life itself, its obstacles, and which instills in him sufhcient conviction to pursue his career unfalteringly, with the feeling that he will ultimately attain his coveted goal. Looking back, at the com' 'TI IE ELCIAIANITE Fifty-Five pletion of the term, upon his experiences in his high school career up until that point, he realizes that not always were his pros- pects of an encouraging nature: many a time did the assurance of mastering his course-requirements give way to despair. But he did not balk, and his persistency finally carried him through. And when the student steps out into the world, he carries with him these reminiscences in the form of a moral lesson, which constantly reminds him that all ill-meaning events in his life do not necessarily mean his downfall. just a bit of courage-a bit of patience, and the battle will be won. At last! We greet the majestic center of cultural learning, the Yeshivah College, with a quickening heart-beat and hopes of far-reaching effects. And, in truth, there is ample reason for this. The Yeshivah means for college students what the Yeshivah High-School has meant to High School students-only in a stronger sense. When many Europeans came to this country a short time ago, they were used to conditions favorable to a diligent pur- suit of Jewish studies. Here, however, they Ele- mentary High Schoolslwhich had to be at- tended no matter what else was doneg the found many conflicting interestsAin fast-moving social age. As is natural, these conditions were exaggerated, and they thought it impossible for secular and re- ligious studies to be pursued side by side. The Yeshivah, however, refuted this. It represented an institution where secular activities could be studied in a Jewish back- ground. The Yeshivah College further and more strongly refutes it: for it expands as the Jewish background all the way through college. No longer is it necessary to beg to be excused from Friday night or holiday classes, to attend night college for seven years before receiving a recognized degree. This new institution is a college built by jews, of and for jews. As such it repre- sents a high peak in our history. Yet, who can say that this Yeshivah Col- lege is the last step? The future may yet see other such colleges scattered through the country -all irrefutable proofs that, not- withstanding the contrary surroundings, there can yet be found in the New World --that unquestionable spirit of orthodox ju- daism which has existed through ages and is sure to exist through coming years. News reaches us, thru the current is- sues of the newspapers, of important changes being made in American colleges today. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, Presi- dent of Columbia University, recently pub- lished an article in which he described the reforms to be made in the curriculum of his own school. Subjects which heretofore were limited in scope of field have now been broadened in view and material. Studies which previously have been mostly pro- scribed have now been made-in great ma- jority-selective. A fine example of this new type of Survey Subjects is the study of Contemporary Civilization. This sub- ject is an analysis of the creeds of the Uni- verse- --of their customs and faiths, of their histories and environments. Never has a subject of such universal interest been of- fered in the curricula of American Univer- sities. Great educators take hand in praising this new form of modernized education. The change in policy offers to the students a brilliant opportunity to select their own studies and pursue them according to their individual desire---to change from the old system of college education. We take part, indeed, in laudation of the adoption of this selective policy. The purpose of this editorial shall have been partly fulfilled if we have conveyed the idea that our sympathy lies with modern educators who adopt curricula of modern colleges to modern students. But. with re- gret, we must point to these s.une institu tions who endeavor to abide by a broad and unbiased policy, and call their atten- tion to one unpleasant fact. FiftyfSix TH E ELCHANITE Scanning the list of the new Survey Curriculum , we did not find one which was directly associated with Hebrew Cul' ture. The history of the Jewish people was entirely disregarded in spite of the fact that courses such as History of the Rusf sians, the Mohammedans, and the Turks were listed. This nonfjewish influence which pervades the curricula of our colleges mars the fair reputation which they have achieved for liberalfmindedness, freedom of thought, and modernity. For, what race existing during the 20th century has surf passed the Jewish nation in contributions towards the world's culture? What history studied in any college outshines that of the Jews, in color, in importance, and in interf est? What Literature on earth is more sub' lime than the books of the Hebrew Proph- ets? What code of Laws invented by man bears the practical wisdom of our Own? WE merely repeat that which has been uni' veraslly proclaimed when we reply-None. And yet, the institutions of today, def clared to be so modern and unprejudiced, have neglected to consider Hebrew subjects as important and live members of a modem college curriculum. We make no bones about the matter, we ask no quarrels, We simply ask-Why? As this issue of the Elchanite leaves our hands the Staff sits back and contemplates its many tribulations in composing this magazine. Whatever we have accomplish' ed, we realize and appreciate, has been made possible by the invaluable assistance of the Faculty. We, under their guidance, have given our best, we hope it will be received favorably. The Editors of this term's Elchanite exf press their best wishes to future editors, and hope they will uphold the standard we have tried to live up to. May their best be worthy of the Yeshiva. -els E? ueer Persons I Have Met CHARLES HIRSHFELD, '29 Une of the queerest persons I have known was Archer Carlson. He was queer any way you looked at him. He was built qucerly: tall, with very rounded shoulders that made his neck appear twice as long, and rather savage looking with his dried mop of hair. His actions were queer, he always kept his own counsel and resented the least bit of companionship. Any ad' vances on the part of the students were warded off in a way that tacitly implied that they had better not repeat, Yet I would have liked to see Carlton aroused. Perhaps fighting would have fanned the smoldering spark of life to some degree of human warmth within him. But the boys had no wish to go beyond the offering of friendship. Yet sometimes, I doubted whether Archer would ever iight. He seem' ed like a coward and acted as one. His eyes seemed to bear me out. They were small and glassy, almost without color. Their dullness was almost terrifying and had the desired effect of dampening any enthusiastic advances of companionship. He seemed devoid of any feeling and his sole wish was to be left alone. Only I, of all the boys, perversely insisted that there must be some feeling in him, that there must be an iota of craving for human intercourse in his makeup. But during his stay here, he was as unapproachable as ever and held communion with nobody, perhaps except his own soul, God pity it. He was queer. I guess Mrs. Gildersleeve might also be classed as queer. She was the woman who 'THE ELCHANITE lived in the ancient, disgustingly dirty house situated right below the falls. She .ilways invited my friends and me down to lier house and would shake her head in angry annoyance and mumble, Thats bad, that's bad, if we preferred a cleanlier en' vironment to hers. Yet, many a time, we were drawn to the place hy the lure of her fantastic tales. Everytime we came in, she would sharply order her third husband, a n egro, out of the place, so as to sort of purge the atmof sphere of his fetid presence. She tried to make us comfortable before she began her Fifty Seven tale. Then, after seating herself in the rocking chair against the stove, she would break off and langh most raueously, her hairy chin doubling up and trembling, her mouth open, revealing her white toothless gums. And at times, she would suddenly doze off, and awake a few minutes later. And so, she would finish the story with intermittent disturbances of laughs and Clozes. Then, we would all make a rush for fresh air and leave her slouehed in the rocker, her head nodding, in the midst of a nap, s r ill 'Oi 4 s A Legend of the Norsemen A. HERBERT GREENBERG, '28 Bluff Sven Olsen swaggered about the poop of his tiny graceful vessel. Below him sweating, dusky men moved back and forth, their bulging muscles tautening under the strain. Ahead of him and behind was a vast expanse of water. All about him stretched a calm and glassy sea. Sven Olsen was eager. This was not the first time that he was eager, for he derived more enjoyment out of expectancy than out of victory. With the same daring that had characterized his forbears he had set sail for unchartered waters and unknown lands. A week had elapsed since he had out toward the distant horizon. A brisk wind had blown the ship, with its swan's head at the prow. till the harbor, with its chattering people and stationed ships, were now just a faint reminder of land and, to the crew, safety Sven Olsen had no fear of the sea. Its fickle tides and winds were pranks that had to be endured like the whims of a giant Underneath the surface a poignant spirit rippled that could be subdued by oaths and. as a last resort, by conjuring up all the ne cromancy of his predecessors. Row! Row, ye laggards! just ahead lies the honeyed land! Sven chanted as the oarlocl-:s creaked and the water dripped olf the uplifted paddles. Another uneventful week passed and Sven's forehead became puckered with con' cern. First the food supply was dwindling and, secondly, Sven could feel in his bones the approach of a storm. The ship must find a h:aven soon, for he knew the tranquil sea was just the forerunner of a storm Had And had he not seen sharks slash the water not gulls been flying past in flocks? with their black awesome fins as they shot past the ship? But Sven still had his mis sion ahead of him and he would not re turn empty handed. For it was no peaceful mission that Sven had undertaken. He had heard tales of a fabulously rich island South of his native land. Besides, the daring Sven had wcaried of gliding endlessly along fa miliar coastlines Indeed, it was no peace offering that Sven had on board. for. stowed FiftyfEigl1t THE ELCHANITE under heavy tarpaulins were swords and armor that had been carefully selected be fore the journey had started, The vague ness of the plan added zest to Sven's anti- cipations, and he dreamt of golden towers with beauiful women on balconies, A slight breeze sprang up! The sails were spread and the ship sped along as if pursued by foe. All that day and well into the next, the bow dipped in and out of the choppy ocean till the swam assumed the grotesque air of a bird with green plum' age. Then far off to the north a black mist crept closer and closer. They had barely time to fasten things down when the gale was upon them. It seemed as if the foe had overtaken the boat and, with the roar' ing wind, was bent upon tearing the vessel apart. However, Sven had carefully inf spected every plank and jib and they lived up to all of Sven's expectations. The tiny ship was tossed about upon the tempestuous seag now being swamped by a gigantic wave and now riding on the crest of one, like a feather. The gale lasted a day and a night. To Sven it seemed everlasting. Throughout he had not left the wheel: steeling his muscles to right the ship. The next morning the sun smiled be' nignly upon a weary and haggard Sven with just a tiny spark of defiance flickering in him. He drank long draughts of water and then tramped off to his raised quarters. He slumped into his bed and slept deeply and soundly .... A few of the crew had been swept over' board, their shrieks of terror rsing above the howling of the gale. A swish of a black tin, a smudge of red, and the black sea engulfed another victim. Sven knew its slyness, It would be calm and peaceful: then it would seethe and become black, and would toss its slimy body like an angry ser- pent. Or it would lash in great upheavals of volcanic waves. It would growl and clutch like a savage lion. It had fury in it too, Sven knew, He had often seen it glowing in the curve of a wave uplifted like a sword-ready to slash and rend. The ocean was wise when it was calm, with the wisdom of age and impassiveness. But it was cunning when it became angry, with all the fiery vigor of enormous strength hidden within it. It would gurgle when it lay still but it would laugh and sneer when it became angry. There were so much hysf teria and derisiveness in its blacker moods. Sven knew its moods and acknowledged them as the wiles of an enemy that had to be soothed. Sven was awakened from his slumbers by an exited lookout. He sat up heavily and blinked stupidly about him. It was queer that the storm should have abated. It had seemed so everlastmg! But why was the fool gesticulating so much? He rubbed his eyes and followed his man's gaze. Not more than a quarter of a league away he could see enticing trees and Helds. In a moment he was among his men, giving curt orders to row for shore and to prepare the armor. The food supply was exausted and Sven knew he must land. The boat glided towards the shore like a stately swan. As the boat neared the shore a huge crowd was gathering and were awaiting the ship's arrival. Sven peered among the people to judge their strength. But he noticed no weapons and the people did not seem to resent his arrival. This was indeed a queer reception for swashbuckling Sven Skeptical, he ordered his men to don their armor in case of any hostility. Boisterously they landed and with drawn spears they clambered out of the shallow water. The onlookers had not spoken nor did they seem to breath. Agape, they watched the new corners approach with drawn arms. And then, as one, they bowed and bade Sven and his men welcome. Sven was taken aback by their hospitality. However, his surprise was soon dispelled by resentment The cringing dogs, he muttered, rob bing me of my sport. THE ELCIIANITE Blusteringly and dominceringly Sven called for their king. They smiled wanly Sven felt the hair on the nape of his neck bristle. Were they mad? Then a tall young lady stepped out of the throng and ad' dresed Sven: Welcome, Stranger! You ask for our king? We have none for we are content to abide by our own love for each other Are ye hungry? Come and ye shall eat your fill. Sven felt a surge of shame pass over him He looked at his hostess and then at the keen blade he clutched in his hand Narcissus was grace and kindness and his blade was a tongue of flame. He sheathed his sword and answered gruflly. My men are hungry for our journey has been long. We are fighting men and what we seek we take. . . . . That night Sven and his men ate glut tonously and drank wine out of flagons til? it dripped over their greasy chops and down their necks. All that day they had invaded houses and routed the masters. They looted and sang, mistaking passive resistance for submission. The victims' meekness had taken the keeness out of Sven's conquests and he felt an involuntary revulsion pas over him. He envied the settlers with their peaceful groves and vineyards, Their peace fulness had seemed sanctified and his men had polluted it. Now they were in the gathering hall, unheeding Narcissus warning. Do not enter the uagoraf' shc had said, for it is cursed. But Sven must still pretend to be a swash buckler lest his men's fear of him lessen He drank with his men but his mind WHS among the trampled groves and vineyards Why had these strange people not resisted' His mind was pained by the thought of thc looted homes. He looked about him. His F11 tyhliiic' men were sleeping: their flagons dripping red blotches over their grimy clothes. He had sickened of it all! Narcissus troubled him. She was like the calm sea he knew, only more graceful. He cursed his men as they filled the massive hall with their ponderous slumbers. The walls still rung with his men's profane raucous laughter. Sven dashed out of the hall. hating his men with all the Herceness of this heart. Out in the open hesought the stars that had always guided him. Instead of guidf ance he found reproach. Their twinkles, however, were frosted now as they chided him, Out of the stillness Sven heard a cracking which increased to a rumble and then a crash. The hall had crumbled! And his men were in there with their overturned tlagons and their dullened brains .... The following days and weeks were like a nightmare for Sven. Narcissus had evad- ed him and had scorned him with her troubled eyes. It seemed as if a chilled breeze had blown across her peacefulness. Try as might, Sven could not help but blend his own emotions with the tranquility of his environment. One day. as Sven passed through the streets, he was struck by a stone. He looked upwards and saw a man standing on a roof and cursing him with fiery pasion. Sven felt strength surge through his body like a gigantic wave, but he shook it off sadly, He stood stock still while the blood dripped off his dank hair. He had not been angry so long and it was already alien to him ..,, He shrugged his shoulders indilfcrently and turned to go when he hearcd his name called softly. A bright smile flittcrcd across his face, for thcrc framed in her ivy-covered lattice, was the beckoning Narcissus . . . QYJ, ?:T5wQi va oi gr . 'KS yj ll , ,RP t? We We Xt W, in . 'T S Axxgiifiifh :Ju Sixty 'THE ELCHANITE illlgatrrirn By GEORGE E. Gaoss, '28 I The silent night crept down upon the heath. The sun had long since set in the west, throwing its myriad beams against the fiery skies. Now the darkness envelf oped the log abode in the center of the field. As silently as the darkness crept along, a man advanced toward the dense underwood. His eyes bulged out, glisten' ing as if possessed of prosphorescent elef ments. Kneeling down in the wilderness of rushes, he uttered a prayer to tht heavensg an incoherent prayer- Oh, GCD Anxiously he awaited a reply,-an answer in the form of a hurtling star, or a lightningfpierced sky. But it did not come. His prayer reached the thick wall of rushes and sent back a sonorous echo. That was the end. The man returned to the hut as silently as he had come. With staggering steps he entered. The door closed. The darkness covered it up. II A youth emerged from the farther end of the stalks and scratched his head in conf sternation. The ladls countenance lit up into a thoughtful smile, and then he burst forth into a guffawing, boisterous laugh. 'The lunatic, the lunatic, he cried, as he hurled stones through the apertures in the hut. Suddenly, the door opened: the figure of the madman appeared upon the thresf hold. The lad continued to throw stones One struck the victim in the pit of the stomach. He reeled back and shut the door, From a distance he heard a mocking laugh. The boy decided upon an ingenious plan -he would cause the village to flare up. He wheeled about, ran down the winding slope. and into the village, all the time crying in frightful voice, The sorcerer, the sorcerer . III Herr Andreas was counting the day's ref ceipts. The tinkling of the coins sounded irresistible music in his ears. Herr Andreas was the proprietor of the village Cafe. This occupation had in the course of thirty years netted him a tidy fortune. He, how- ever, did not enjoy this as a fortune shoul.l be enjoyed. He was a miser, a hoarder of gold, a lustful worshipper at the shrine of wealth. The days which he should have spent in finding pleasure with his wealth, he spent in watching it. Andreas loved life. He clung to it, as a hungry child to its mother's breast. Often he would visualize death. But a sort of feverish fear always overcame him. He shrank back and prayed. And his prayer was answered, for instead of the ghostflike vision of death, the cheery light of life would present it' self. A sudden noise alarmed Andreas. Hur' riedly hiding his wealth, he opened the door. The youth raced in, his face was flushed from exertion, his haid dishevellefl from the wind. The sorcerer, he gasped. In a little while he told his tale. I had wandered up the slope during the late afternoon. Soon the sun went down, and the darkness surrounded me. I decided to spend the night there. Then an eerie sight rooted me to the spot. A frightful being crept up into the rushes. It knelt and whispered strange words. Figures rose up from the earth-figures clad in creepy colors-white and black. At last, I was able to move. As if by inter' vention of Providence, and guided by an animal instinct, I found the slope, I ran THE ELCHANITE SixtyfOne down and into the village. And I stopped at Andreas'. The lad's purpose was effected. Andreas' face grew livid. Superstition was at that time prevalent in Germany. Sorcery was a dreaded evil. It was, therefore, natural that Andreas should accept the lad's tale as gospel truth. He placed one hand upon his hot temples-the other upon the box that held the gold, all the time whispering, The Sorcerer . IV The news of the lad's adventure soon reached every ear in the village. Witli the tale there came a feeling of innermost fear. Some doubted the truth of the story, and scoffcd at it as exaggeratedfbut they too were really afraid. Cn each one's lips was the consolation, The days of Sorcery are passed, but within their souls there lin' gered a secret fear. They accepted this being on top of the slope as a looming men' ace, an oppressor of their personal free- dom. An old woman who lived at the edge of the village hid in her atticishe was afraid of this demon who meant but one thing-Death, Thru constant anxiety her fear became reality. She was found dead two days later. The medical man asf cribed the death to a sudden shock. The natives, however, were of different opinion. The inhabitant of the hill had already scat' tered his seeds of destruction. A frail heart had merely succumbed to his evil withcraft, And so the natives lived under a cloak of apprehension. V ln the shadow of the still night, a man crept out of the hut upon the heath towards the rushes. It was the lunatic. He knelt and repeated his evening prayer. Then he arose and returned to the hut. Half' way. across to his destination, he stopped. stunned and fell. A rock had struck him square upon the temple, making a great, open gash from which torrents of blood flowed forth. The youth appeared upon the scene. He had emerged from his hiding place in the rushes, and came forward to the fallen man. His features betrayed his fright as he turned about fiercely, and fled down the slope into the village. This time, he did I'iOt stop at Andreas, but went directly home. To himself he whisperedfff- I have killed the lunatic. VI Herr Andreas lay in a state of stifling fever. His cheeks were drawn in until they resembled hollow cavities-his eyes looking lifeless and glossy. His mouth twisted in the anguish of unbearable pain. The man stood a short distance from the door of death. It opened slowly, quietly, with each inch sucking out the last breaths of life. A group of natives were collected around the bedside. Among them stood the youth. The o'her approached the dying man. Andreas, however, did not remove his gaze from the youth. He was too weak to speak. With his hand, he beckoned. The youth stood over Andreas, while he whis pered, He has the gold . The natives stood astonished. Only the youth under stood the dying man's words. The door of death opened for Andreas to pass through. Yll The natives climbed the slope. No doubt was left in their minds. but that the evil being on the hill was responsible for the tragedies below. They were tully armed with pickets. prepared to kill him at sight. Having arrived at the hillftop they entered upon the heath. There a dreadful scene confronted them. An emaciated body of .1 man lay upon the ground at deep gash upon the forehead. Their task was already Slxlyffi-LUU 'THE ELCIIANITE completed. They buried the corpse in the heath. Over the grave they left a wooden An evil of men, slab as a burial mark. It read, spirit who lured away the souls and submitted them to physical anguish, and who was, in punishment, submitted to the same agonies, lies buried here. The natives returned to the village. The heath remained for all times a haunted place of which fearful fables were composed, and not until a generation afterwards, did one set foot upon it again. EPILOGUE The youth had shrunk into the dark pit of old age, and now lay on his deathbed The medical men could not trace his de- sease. Some ascribed it to the heartg others, to a mental disorder. But the sick man himself knew his ailment. For years he had been the victim of a gnawing conf science. The daily vision of three dead people had bitten at his soul, until he could feel the anguish of his pain. His nerves shattered, he submitted to his ref collections, and was tortured in his guilt Weakly' he told his story to the gathered folk about him. He had learnt that Herr Andreas had a fortune. It would be an easy matter for him to acquire it, he thought. Soon enough, he learnt of the hiding place of Andreas' wealth. In a short time, he had removed the bags of gold, and retreated to the heath to hide them in the rushes. Then, as he hid the gold upon the heath, an ingenious plan suggested itself to him. He would in the case of an exposure, fasten the guilt upon the lunatic who occupied the heath. With this intention, he ran excitedly back to the village, spreading the alarm, crying, The Sorcerer, the Sorcerer . At the same time as the news that an evil character dwelled near the village, came the deaths of a number of natives. The invalid could easily remember two, the old woman who had died of fright, and Andreas, who had lost all strength when he had learnt of the theft-of his gold. A few nights had passed. The lad had returned to the heath, for his stolen treas- ure just as the lunatic was entering the rushes. He had seen him stoop over the gold, and muttered something inaudible. Overcome with fright, he had pointed the jagged edge of the rock toward the man and struck. Realizing that he had killed the lunatic, he fled back to the village, and there awaited the discovery. The old man rested his head upon the pillow. Death tightened its grip upon him, He was relieved of his weighty secret as his eyes closed forever. To verify the dead man's story, a search was made for the bags of gold. They were found concealed in the thick underwoods of the heath, Superstition had allowed him to play his evil game. THE ELCIIANITE Snxtyfflireu iKPa.1izatinn By Mauaiczri Down on the East Side, in a dark, overcrowded tenement house, lived a middle aged widow and her son, Joie. All day long she toiled to keep her son, a mere child, and herself from the poorhouse. Less than a score of years ago the gray' haired widow had lived in Russia together with her husband. After a number of years of happy marital life she had borne him her only child-a boy. However, her joy had not lasted long, for her husband had soon fallen sick and died, leaving her destitute with the infant. Unable to sup' port her baby and herself, she had sold her few belongings and migrated to America. The Hrst few years had been trying ones. Time and again she had thought of ending the one-sided struggle, but the her son's spending his youth in forced her to work for his bread picture of a 'Home , and board, With ref to her task had mitigated all her sufferings. doubled strength she had turned of providing for them both. She had found work in a sweat shop, operating a sewing machine. With her meager salary she had managed, by painful stinging, to rent a dingy, two-room apart' ment in a dilapidated tenement house, and to minister to .loie's wants. Often she had denied herself her little share of food un' complaingly to satisfy his childish demands. Vv'ith a motherly pride she cared and watched over him as he grew older. Joie, however, did not reciprocate her kindness. Perhaps he was selfish, perhaps he new no better: but whatever the reason, he failed to appreciate his mother's sacrifices. Once, after a tiresome day at the machine with only the vision of a soft comfortable bed at home strengthening her weary limbs, Pizasky, 'ZS she entered their room, only to find Joie lying on the bed, crying pitifully. That day had been his first in school: and, ref membering this ,she feared that something had gone wrong. What's the matter, dear? she faltered. I'm not going to school any more- that's what- came from the depths of the pillow. WW---Why not? She was on her knees now, expecting to find the marks of the teacher's rule or the bruises of a boy's fists on his face or arms. C-Cause all the b-boys and g-girls g-go dressed so nice afand I- go around like a-a poor boy, I-I'm not going any more tftill I g-get nice c-clothes too. She was relieved, yet troubled. She tried to comfort him. There, there, dear, she said sooth' ingly. Don't cry. Everything will come out all right. Wheii you grow up you'll be a great, rich millionaire with everything you wantA-big automobiles and and nice new clothes, too. But now we are so . . . She stopped and bit her lip, fearing that she had offended him. Yes, and you'll have a lot of money, she added quickly to cover her error. And a big, beautiful house, and you'll be able to buy everything, But how can l bu'.' you . . Again she checked herself just in time, realizing that she had blundered once more ln silence. not trusting herself to speak, she eonsoled him. But he refused to be comforted' -f he wanted nice clothes , Suddenly she reali:ed that it was late that she had not rested her aching body Szxtyfour THE ELCHANITE She would never get up in time for her work, she thought, and that would mean losing her job. She was desperate . . .l All right, Joie, she weakly surrendered, Stop crying, Yesg I-I I'll buy you nice clothes tofmorrow-if you'll go to sleep now! Tearfully she rocked him to sleep. Slowly, fumblingly, she prepared for bed. Sleep, however, was an impossibility. She could not help thinking of how many sup' pers she would have to forego to fulfill her promise, of how much privation and misery sh: would have to endure. Doubtless she would have to give up the different articles that graced and distinguished her Sabbath table. She might even be compelled to Stop buying any more coal for the little stove and that would mean cold days and bleak, cheerless evenings. A deep sigh es- caped her quivering lipsg wiping her tear' stained eyes and wet cheeks on the pillow, she resolutely banished a ll troublmg thoughts from her mind and dreamed of happier times. This incident was but an instance of many similar ones that occurred frequently. When she asked him to go to the store for he:, he refused, saying he was busy. But no sooner did he hear his friends hail from the street than he dropped his work and without a word, went out 0 join him. His mother, however, did not take these little acts of forgetfulness to heart, and if she did she neither mentioned them nor up- braided him. For she was happy in her certainty that her son would some day be a credit, not only to his mother but his country as well--yes, even to mankind. Joie was now in his thirteenth year. But a short time ago he had been confirmed acf cording to Jewish cunstom. Soon he would be graduated from the elementary school, for he was now in his last year and doing well. He would emerge a fullflcdged high' school boy and his mother doubly happy. There was yet another reason for her happiness. Her Joie was no longer a child. Cn the contrary, he was intelligent for his youth. He would realize that his mother could no longer continue to support them bo..h unaided. Ivlisfortune and hardship had left their traces, and she was old-old before her time. He certainlly must have noticed this and he would understand that the completion of his primary school studies must mean the end of his education-for a time at least. He would see to it that the burden which had hitherto rested en' tirely upon her worn, drooping shoulders, would shift to his own manly ones before misfortune overtook her. With suppressed joy in her heart, she awaited the day that would set him free from his studies. The long-awaited day came at last! No moiher was ever as happy and proud as she was as she dressed him carefully for the occasion in his holdiay suit . She was young again, forgetting everything-herself, her hopes and her fears-in the joy of the moment. A mother's tears never flowed more frecly than hers when her son, in youthful joy, ascended the platform and received his diploma. And yet, when it was all over and they had returned to what they called their home, after she carefully hinted to her son that he would have to give up his studiessfor it was impossible for her to provide for them both now that she was getting old and weak-it seems to her that her boundless joy of the day just gone by was but a dream, a fancy of her imagina' tion, no doubt. A For no sooner did Joie hear of her de' mand than he flew into a rage. His suc- cess in public school had raised his boyish vanity to such a degree that he, the mere child, could not find any fault with him' self. I seemed to him that he was being treated as no other boy had ever-been 'THE ELCHANITE treated before-his mother was intending to harm and spoil his chances. He had great chances. Wasii't he the smartest boy in his class? Unable to restrain himself any longer he threw himself upon the bed weep' ing hysterically. She argued, she pleaded, she begged, and then she too gave vent to her pent-up emotions-'she wept-not the plaintive wail of one in physical pain, but the pleading of one who has been misjudgedg the cry that unburdens the grieved soul and gives one courage to face the world at any odds- but all in vain. Her son did not, could not, realize all his mother's sacrifices for him. She was old again. How lonely, how pitiful, how forlorn and helpless she was! Something, she dared not guess what, had eluded her, was slipping past her slowly even now, and she didn't even care to bother herself to stop it. Joie continued his studies. All his inf terests and hopes were centered in his work and his friends. Home was but a place where he might eat and sleep without cost, and mother was just an old lady to be tolerated. And the old lady , struggling desperately, attempted to make both ends meet. joseph was on his way home. He had just received his degree at the university, and had decided to surprise his mother with the good news when she returned from work. Approaching their poor abode, he noticed a crowd of women talking excitedly in front of the home. Out of the incof herent babble he was finally alble to piece together enough to understand that a woman whose son was too lazy to support her, had collapsed while at work and had been brought here to her home. . . What! he cried more to himself than to, any one else. An old woman-Ha grown Sixtyfxtfe up son. . . might it not be his own mother! Without waiting to hear more, he hurried up the stairs, and, with a trembling hand, opened the door of her room. There lay his mother her face ghastly in the dim light. Mother! he cried, rushing to her side, Mother, whats the matter? I'm here, your Joie! See, I have my diploma! Look! 'iYes, I see, came the faint voice of his mother, as she looked sorrowfully at him. But listen, dear, be a good boy. Take good care of yourself, and- above alle have faith in God. Andu- her voice was a half-whisper, halffgasp now, Whatex'er you-do-wherever you-go-think of me- as a- kind- and loving- mother a- after I'm gone. Gone? he cried horasely, his fear get' ting the better of him. Gone where? XVhere are you going?-Answer me! But his mother clidn't answer. In vain did he beg for an answer, for a word-reassuring him that life had not left her. Fruitless were his pleadings to her to open her eyes and look at him once-just once. Death had taken its toll. He tried to think, to understand the meaning of what had happened, but he could not. Something was missing-some' thing that he vainly tried to find, to see. But it was useless. He lay down to unburden his stricken soul, to let the tears that he had so resolutely fought back course down his heated cheeks. Then it dawned upon him. He had found that something that he had been looking for--found it in a flood of realization. He understood it now, not only this, but every' thingl- everything! But it was too late much too late. He had found his soul' man's noblest primes' ion, but he had sacrificed more man's dearest gift f his mother ....

'THE ELCIIANITE Sa.x'ty'5etien HH Ii g ? By BERNARD K.-XPLONNITZ, '28 fAWh6fl1C7' at Nashapur or Babylon hVl1CEl1ET the cup with sweet or biter Tun The wine of life keeps oozing drop by drop The leaves of life keep falling one by one. OMAR KHAYYAM. Slowly, painfully, his tortured body ery' ing out in protest, David Mann gathered himself together. Tottering, falling, creep' ing on his hands and knees, he struggled to get away as fast as possible when he saw the bloody mass of torn and mangled bodies from which he had just extricated himself. What a ludicrous and grotesque appearance did he present as he tried to escape from that ghastly group! It was only when he thought that he had put a safe distance between himself and them-who had once been living human beings-that David finally stopped to rest. How could he know in his utter confusion, or see thru that seemingly impenetrable wall of mist, that only a few feet separated him from another such group. How could he know, in the darkness that prevailed, that not only one but hundreds of such groups dotted the plain like sanfdunes of the desert. Wearied by his exertions which were so fruitlessly expended and weak from loss of blood, David fell to the ground. How cool and refreshing was the soft earth! How longingly did he wish he were beneath it unconscious of all earthly pain! How long he lay in that stupor he knew not. But when he regained consciousness all of his immediate surroundings were changed. The heavens had begun to lose their dark and forboding aspect. The fog had lifted entirely: the moon appeared and spread her gentle radiance everywhere. The bright silvery moonbeams seemed to expand and fasten themselves into the very earthg and with the aid of her friendly neighbors, the stars, the moon illuminated a world gone mad. David looked about him bewilderedly. A sharp sickening pain in his side made him press his hand there, and he withdrew it covered with blood! Looking about on the ground, he saw a canteen, and not very far from it, a gun. Creeping towards them he left in his wake little pools of blood. At last both canteen and gun were his. After he had torn his undershirt into strips, washed his wounds, and bound the bandf ages, David felt momentarily at ease. He looked about him. Everywhere he saw those heaps of dead men. He shuddered! Oh, the horrors he had seen and endured. As though through a mirage he saw again falling soldiers, the sharp glistening bayo' nets, and the streaks of fire flashing through the air. As though it were being enacted again, he herd the roar of the cannons, the bursting of bombs, the hum of the airfplanes overhead. Again he saw that great white streak of light illuminating everything. Once again came that hurtling shell as swift' ly and as silently as a comet out of the skv --coming to tear and rend, to destroy and annihilate everything and every one in its path. David tried to forget these haunting and nervefracking scenes. He was afraid not a physical fear, but of something inexplicable within him. A slight breeze came up. cool- ing his burning face and body and calming his throbbing, restless spirit. He made an attempt to rise succeeded only to topple eternal bodyguard, Demos and l'hobos. lviars, the God of war, and. following on his heels, Panic and Fear. There they xx ere. SixtyfEigl1t TH E ELCHANITE rushing through space on their eternal or' to the ground again. With the gun to prop him up, he again essayed to stand, and, after swaying dizzily, he regained his bal- ance and remained standing. Looking about him on all sides he saw far off to the south occasional flares of light. At short intervals the bursting of bombs broke the stillness of the night. Aside from that, there prevailed a solemn silence. How impressive and majestic was that ghastly silence! How heavily it weighed down upon David! He looked in every directionfon the scenes below him, and at the heavens above. As far as the eye could see-even where sky and earth seemed to clasp each other, unite and merge as one,--- the horizon-the heapsof dead, the torn- up, devastated fields were reminders of what had happened there before. Group upon group, mound upon mound, lay the bodies of men who had fought and died. Died! Died for what? No longer could he bear to look upon them. They weakened and nauseated him. He turned and looked up at the heavens again. And what a sight greeted him! The whole moon, mounting higher and higher the ladders of heaven, seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with the stars. Now hurtling into one drifting cloud, now emerging only to dart into another she appeared as she must have looked long ago in the eyes of the ancients-a living Goddess, beautiful vivacious, and proud: one whose only rival was Venus. She was in a hurry, reckless and heedless, deaf and blind to the cries and misery below her. Suddenly David grew tense. What was that away to the east? What was that fiery red ball away up in he sky with those two white points of light following directly be- hind it7 Yes, it was Mars--followed by his bit, What a wonderful spectacle! There, way up in the heavens, rushing, hurtling, along side by side, were War, Panic, and Fear, while down below, on a world trans- formed into Hell, and all its inhabitants turned into devils, was raging a war far more terrible and devastating in its results than any other, and following on its heels were every curse known to manffear, panic, misery, suffering, torture, death-death in its most horrible and most cruel form-inf justice, and murder, in fact every weapon of Satan himself. Once again he looked down upon those quiet, and ghastly groups. This time, how' ever, he approached one of them. One by one he took the innocent victims of murf derers into his arms and reverently placed them upon the ground. Not one to feel his touch: not a single beat of a heart, not a flicker of an eyelash! A load rested upon his shoulders--a load that grew heavier and heavier with every man he touched, and threatened to throttle him. Finally he could stand it no longer. Tears Hllcd his eyes and coursed down his cheeks. Springing up, he raised his hands to the heavens and with all the bitterness of his heart, he cried: Oh, God! Not this! Not this! Oh, damn war! Damn those who sent us here! Let those who declared war iight, but not this, Lord, not this! Tears blinded him, sobs radked his body, as, in an outburst of despair, he cried: Oh, Death! How welcome you would be! At that moment, as if invoked by the Gods, a great white beam of light came flashing through the whole plain. Finally it rested upon David and out of the still' ness of the night came the shrieking cry of a madly hurtling bomb. The flash of light. the thunder of the explosion, the twinkling of the stars, and the glow of the moon were synchronized into a one last fleeting impresf sion on his almost unconscious mind.

Large, colored posters were stuck on every avail- able spot on the wallsg some were even hung from the ceiling. Campaign man- agers were very much in evidenceg every- one was busy persuading the other fellow that his man was the school's choice: or else advertising his favorites merits on every bit of blackboard, giving our teachers--poor souls-not a chance in the world. The day of the traditional assembly came at last. The students crowded themselves into the small auditorium, occompanied by the usual tumult. They settled themselves as comfortably UQ as possible to await the opening of the meeting. Leo Meizlik, the chairman of the Election and Canvassing Committee, ascended the platform and called the gathering to order. After making a few introductory remarks, he called upon our principal to address the student body. Dr Safir welcomed the incoming Freshman and proceeded to outline some of the new regulations that had been put into effect at the beginning of the term. He also ex- presed the hope that we continue our good work and maintain the good name of the institution. Mr. Meizlik then resumed his duties as chairman and presented the can- didates for the various offices. Their re- cords were read, the assembly was advised to vote judiciously, and in a burst of ap- plause the meeting came to a close. ln February, however. the interest of the school was at a decidedly lower ebb. The authorities, recalling the mass production of the multi-colored posters in the fall term, forbade any advertising of this kind. Morris Penkower, chairman of the Elec- tion-and Canvassing Committee, announced that Dr. Saiir was ill and that Mr. Schwartz would address the students instead. The jovial French instructor went through the usual welcome to the Freshmen, and then acquainted the school with the practice of the administration regarding absentees, and the work of the students in the Regents' examinations. An interesting revival of a former custom was staged--that of allowing speakers for each of the candidates instead of merely reading their school records. The novelty of this plan held the interest of the stu- dents during the earlier part of the as- sembly, but boring repetitions made the audience restless. Cne of the hard-hearted clerks rang the bell while the final speaker was orating, cutting short the address and allowing the students to disperse. However, as the final speakers candidate was subse- quently electcd fperhaps because the speaker didn't Hnishj there was no cause for com- plaint. If the speakers can be taught to inject some snap into their panegyrics, and thus sustain the interest of the audience to the end, there is every indication that the Spring assembly is a forerunner of a long sring of pre-election gatherings conducted along similar lines. THE GLEE CLUB A Glee Club, or any singing organiza- tion for that matter, is no novelty in our school. However. a larger and more ex- clusive one was formed last term by a num- ber of well heard of students. Yes, much more exclusive, for the organ- ilation admitted only those who could actually sing. This addition to the old school oraginzations quickly sang its way into prominence and soon became a recog- THE ELCHANITE nized and functioning body. For, as you all know, its members bravely undertook to oihciate at our Chanukah services. Their showings varied, but, whether good or bad, much praise is due the Glee Club for doing that which no other group of their kind Scticvitylllrze ever dared to undertake. The Elchanitc staff congratulates them on their valiant eff forts and are convinced that future Clee Clubs will not lack enthusiastic followers striving to worthily fill the the places of those singing pioneers. THE CRATCRICAL CONTEST With a trip to Europe as iirst prize and substantial sums in cash for other winners. one would expect a wild rush of contes- tants in the Times Oratorical Contest. To our surprise, though, there appeared only two ambitious oratorsfHyman Faine of the sixth temi, and George E. Gross of the Seniors. The date selected for judging the two participants was March 13, 1928. On the appointed day the whole School assembled in the synagogue. Hyman Muss, who had recently been elected to the Presidency, made his first appearance in an official capacity. After opening the meeting he in' troduced Mr. Lamm as the honorary chair- man of the assembly. M1'. Lamm told the boys what the contest was, its aims and its accomplishments.

'ZS Mr. Tingle was in Paradise. Leaning over the cradle of his iirstfborn, a son, as he was wont to do daily upon returning from his oilice, he found perfect joy and contentment in trying to win a laugh from the baby by shalqing his head on its stomach. Witli happiness in his heart, and fond thoughts in his mind. he permitted the in' fant to take, even placed, his linger in its dollflike hands!-the comparison made him feel so big and important-Y 'while he dis' torted his face into ludicrous expresions such as only proud. young d.iddies can assume. Occasionally, he would tuck his index finger under its chin or rather chins lisp. silent l's and all .i com' liination which is mcaningles to any- one other than .i novice father or riioilier. The least semblance of a smile trom the child put lvlilton into esctasies and amply rewarded him for his irritation on those nights when the baliy's restlessnes, Scvevltyffwo THE ELCHANITE due to his tardy retirement to his crib, had compelled him to walk back and forth- or in circles-on a cold floor that seemed to be covered with splinters and fully of chairs and stools, purposely placed right in his path-though, for the life of him he could never find enongh of them when they were needed. Danny was often taken from his crib, long after his regular bed-time, by his proud parents, to be shown on parade to visiting relatives and friendsg the effect of this was firmly impressed on Milton in the shape of these sleepless nights and promen- ades. Truly, after a day of worry it was heavenly to return to a happy home of prattling babe and fondling mother. And many an air castle did he build for his dear ones, they were his only human pos' sessions, and he yearned to build around them his Elysian home. But God willed otherwise. The home which before had been flooded with the cheery sunshine of happiness now lay steeped in the shadows of sorrow. In' stead of the laughter of the mother and only child at play, there now was the muffled conversation of the nurse and the doctor, interrupted frequently by the queries of an anxious husband. The baby still laughed at its play, but Mr. Tingle's air castle threatened to crumble. His heart was heavy with grief, though he manfully tried to keep a stiff upper lip . For she, who had brought his only child into this world, lay in the shadow of death, Though his mind was tortured with that pessimistic philof sophy which prevails in the minds of all those whom misfortune overtakes, Mr. Tin- gle tried to find solace in calm reasoning. Despite his breaking heart, he bravely srnilf ed comfortingly in the presence of his wife and urged her not to worry. Though sobs choked him at tht realization of the inevitf able end, he still hoped against hope that Rena would yet recover. But his hopes seemed truly in vain, for the nurse's chart showed a steady decline. Rena, realizing that her fate was sealed, asked to see her husband and child for what she knew was the last time. The baby, happy to be with its rnother, she took on one sideg the father, his tearfdimmed eyes taking in a last glimpse of a beloved wife and pal, she held to her other side. Rena, too, was hungrily gazing at both of her beloved ones. Her face had become wan and tired, but an angelic smile played around the corners of her mouth. A few feeble rays of light, creeping in around the curtains, caused her hair to glisten in all its glory, seeming to form a halo around her head. Milton could not realize that the wasted form lying before him was the once -beautiful being he had considered perfecf tion--an object for admiration- -not made to sufferg that this glistening hair which before had been a crown for her beauty, now was a crown on a dried mass of flesh and blood. So delicate had she become that Milton feared to touch her, lest she crumple into dust under his touch. This thought brought to him the realization that Rena really would soon become only dust-mere, formless dust, retaining no semblance of her earthly beauty--only a memory in his mind. The thought frightened him-weakened him. His breath came quicker as he grew more excited-almost hysterical. His chest heaved as he tried to control himself. Rena was speakingg he must listen. It seemed a bell were chiming-so fair and sweetly musical, as a tinkling bell did her voice sound to Milton. At the sound of her voice something began knocking ,inside his head. A small trip hammer seemed to be pounding against his temples, resounding as might a vibrating bell. God! he couldn't bear that. Wasn't it enough that he was losing her? Why had he to stand all this and see her receding slowly as the tide-but steadily- away from him? 'THE ELCHANITE SCUCTIIQHII-,ITEC I'll soon have to leave you, Milton, and you, Danny dear- oh, don't talk that way, this won't last long! interrupted Mil- ton tearfully. No, it won't last long, he thought. Soon it will be over-but Rena will have gone! But-but she can't! k'You will not leave us now! You can't! As if he, or she, could prevent it. Mere words. But he had to say something. If that knocking in his head, and those bells didn't stop soon he'd be driven mad. He was in a frenzy already, his temples almost bursting. Milton, I do hate to leave you so. I can't realize that in a little while I shall no longer be able to speak to you, to look at you, to play with you, that I shall close my eyes-and-be lost to you. But what can we do? If we must go, we must. Her voice, continually broken by deep sighs, grew weaker, yet more wistful and loving. I know it is not necessary to tell you, but bring up Danny as I had hoped to. I thought I'd be able to watch him grow from a chattering baby to what he is now, a lad, able to talk, to see him change from a schoolboy to a young man. Oh, God! how I would love to see my 'acorn growing into an oak'. But we can't have everything we want. I've had you and Danny. And I stil want you! she cried excitedly. Dear! don't let me go! As if possession of her physical self could prevent her soul from escaping from his grasp. Milton knew he couldn't, yet he tried to, just as a drowning person clutches at a straw for maintenance. But drowning people don't think, nor did Milton, half' crazed with worry and fear. I hear the voices calling me. I must go. just one last look at you, Milton and Daniel. Just one look-and - Good by. Leaning over and placing her hand on Daniel's head she gaspingly whispered a blessing into his ear. With her Daniel clasped tightly to her breast, and her lips pressed against Milton's, ready to die with a smile on her face and a hnal good-by on her lips, Rena's head fell hack on the pillow and lay stillfalready lifeless, already clay The sounds of bells which had been so strong to Milton before, now became fainter and fainter, farther and farther away as the soul of Rena flitted up to heaven on the rays of the sun she had so loved. An overwhelming horror made Milton speechless for a moment. Then he became hysterical and fell headlong across her dead body in a swoon. Daniel, sensing something wrong, began to cry. Then he cried louder and said between tears: i'Papa, don't! You'll wake up mama. And Daniel crawled closer to his mother and cried to her to awaken ..... Although several years had passed, Mr Tingle still felt the shock of his wifes death Tho he had promised her on her death bed to take care on Daniel, he was too dazed to pay much attention to his growing son In his office he worked automatically-and his work showed it. His friends tried to cheer and comfort him, but he blundered absentfmindedly about as tho in a dream He missed his pal, his wife. Many a time he almost decided to end it all, only to be restrained by the thought that his wife and expected him to carry on for their son's sake at least. The Devil was busily engaged in Milton's mind, but the guard-spirit of Rena extended its influence. from the Be- yond, to keep him true to his belief in God. Many a time he almost lost fairh at the thought that those who try to be good are burned while the wicked ones fiddle. But when cool reasoning came back to him. he rallied at the argument that many honest people are poor, while the dishonest are rich. Yet, he had never thought of turning dishonest. And so the battle raged on with- in him Seventyfozu' THE ELCHANITE Then came the awful days of the influf enza epidemic. The grim spector stalked everywhere. just as in the time of the jews in Egept, every house was taking its toll. Mr.Tingle's house was no exception Here, where not long ago, the Grim Reaper had removed a beloved one, there came now this pestilence to strike down Daniel in illness. So grave was this malady, that Daniel was given the name Raphael QHeal, O, G f dj in the hope that it would save his life. But the spectre had taken a stranf glefhold and persisted in holding it. Steadif ly, Daniel drew nearer his creator, while Milton looked on mutely and helplessly. Tho his grief was great, and his love for Daniel still greater, he had spent all his emotions on his wife, whose departure had taken the heart out of him. Now he was as one of another world, who anxiously watches the events of this world, yet is un' ahle to show his anxiety and interest. Once, while with Daniel, his old wound, almost closed now, was refopened. In the hoy's room, he gazed silently on his son's face as he lay sleeping. For fear of waking him, however, Milton started to leave the room just as the clock chimed the hour, Simultaneously with its chimes, there came to his ears the sound of chiming hells. The clock ceased and Milton expected the bells, too, would stop. But, he still heard the hells. It was only his imagination, he thought, or the echo of the bells. But d-n it! Wliy did they persist? He grew frightf enedg he remehered what the bells had once hefore meant to him. The thought weakened him. made him clutch for some support Why that couldn't be! Those hells didn'l mean anything -- there weren't any real hells. His mind must be weakening under the strain. Or it must be only the associa- tion of events, he speculated dazedly. But why, in heaven, didn't they stop? Dfn that clock for starting it all. Sure, that was the explanation. The clock had made him think of hells. But they didn't mean anything. Then why couldn't he stop them, if they meant nothing? Now what was that mutf tering that seemed to be coming from the hed? He turned, as does a beast which has suddenly discovered that it is trapped by the hunter, and slowly lurched toward the bed as he heard Daniel's voice rise from an unintelligihle murmur to an hysterical raving. Mother, you are an angel now, aren't you? But why do you ring those hells? Have you come back for me? Milton gasped in helpless horror hut was speechless. What is that, mother? But don't go away! Wait for mefplease, wait for me! I want to go with you! Thoughts of the first message of the hells rushed through Milton's mind and left him horrorfstricken. He stood and muttered, The hells again, Daniel, Rena, the bells, Don't listen to them, Danny dear! Could it be true? Daniel was listening to them. His breath was labored now, and came in gasps, growing fainter and fainter. till it stopped. Mr. Tingle stumbled to the phone, called the doctor, then groped his way back to the bed. For the second time in his life, he swooned and lay across the lifeless body of his son as if that would it back the warmth of life it had lost. It was in this position that the doctor found him, to tell him that nothing could he done. He was sorry, hut had to hurry away to another such victim of the epidemic. Milton seated himself in his rocker in the next room to 'brood over his misfortunes. fContinued on Page 945 'THE ELCIIANITE 33 43 U FK '-THE BRIDGE or SAN LUIS REY' By 'fliorntmi Wildei' We can hardly remember fin spite of our youthj a book which has aroused as much enthusiasm and comment as Thornton Wilder's Bridge of San Luis Rey. Never at any time during the yet young twentieth century has a book so unique in content, so profound and of so simple a style been written. Thornton Wilder set out to prove a philosophical idea, and the result of his labour has been worthy of his will. The story begins with a vivid and well- written description of the Bridge of San Luis Rey, which collapsed while five people, who are closely related to the plot, were upon it. Brother Juniper is a monk whose theof logical studies and beliefs make him a fana- tic in his faith. It was his custom to scour the country for records of certain people who had diedg and after acquiring these, he invented such numerical tabuf lations as to prove that the deaths of the persons had been inevitable, and the records fas, alas all mathematical tables are, irrefutf able, We now proceed with Brother juni' per, fto whom it seemed that it was nigh time for theology to take its place among the exact sciencesj to gaze into the crystal ball and to behold with him the webs of life which had been spun about the five people who had fallen with the Bridge, Among the five was the Marquesa of lvlontmayer, a spurned mother, whose great' est joy in life had been destroyed. Her daughter had forsaken her maternal bosom and love in order to bestow it, instead, upon a noble courtier with whom she left for distant parts. And as VVilder describes the Marquesa in eloquent and moving words Se'l'C1ll . Fllk' NI -K R 'I' All she could ask of a Und, or of im' mortality, was the gift of a place where daughters love their mothers: the other at- tributes of Heaven you could have for a song. La Perichole was the actress of the local stage. .. she had never known love, save love as passion. lvlany who have spent a life in it can tell us less of love than the child who lost a dog yesterday. The story of La Perichole can be told only as Wilder tells it. To the reader her life is a tragic one: the life of an eternal actress. Uncle Pie's affection for La Perichole made her popular in the theatre. His is the part of a philosopher: of the deep thinker whose conception of life is only as a philosopher can conceive it. He posessed the attributes of the adventurer, a memory for names and faces with the aptitude for altering his own, His eyes are as sad as those of the cow that has been separated from its tenth calf. Esteban follows: he who had learned a great lesson of life: he who had tasted of the sweet cup of love, but who in the end de- tected its bitter grape. He discovered that secret from which one never reeoveredg that even in the most perfect love one person loves less profoundly than the otherf' Pepita is our last subject. l'epita was an orphan and had been brought up by that strange genius of Lima. the abbess Maria de Pillar. ln her quest for a suc- cessor, she determined upon l'epita. whom she afterwards addressed as an equal. ln public Petira suffered all the torture of a little girl's self-consciousness. She suffered hallucinations wherein men seemed to be staring at her and whispering. Nor were these always hallucinations. SeventyfSix TH E ELCHANITE The book calls to my mind the words of Omar Khayaam: The moving fngei' writes, and having writ, Moves on, nor all of your piety nov wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your tears wash out a word of it. Fate, the ever living master of Destiny, the great hand on the clock of life-as long as the pendelum swings-as long as this Globe revolves upon its axis, its great movf ing finger dictates. And how great is Wilf der's book, when we behold five characters who bow to this great Master, who are destined to fall-and indeed they have falf len. Contradictory it may be to strict ortho' dox belief, but the convincing truth that runs through the book, through the veins of Brother juniper, is satisfying to the seeker after truth. From a literary standpoint, enough has been said-and neither am I worthy of cor' roborating it. Generally speaking, however, the book is not a passing fancy. It will be read many years from now. The news that it has received the Pulitzer Prize for the year supports our report. HENRY DAVID THOREAU Henry David Thoreau was a member of that unique class of men who started America on a new epoch in Literature dur' ing the latter part of the nineteenth cenf tury. Only Emerson and Whitnian stand side by side with Thoreau. They instituted .1 new sect in modernity, revolters against the New England Puritanism in its far reaching extremities. For this group of men, the world in its nudity was beautiful, and the world's uncouth shapeliness held them fascinated, and made life worth living. Whitman was the poet, the dreamerg Emerf son, the keen prosaistg and Thoreau -is idealist though he was - proved his ideals by putting them into practice. Thoreau was an aesthetic, yet people thought him inhuman. For four consecuf tive years he lived a savage life on the out' skirts of Concord, in the log abode he had built by his own toil at Walden. He did not associate with men, he did not go among his fellow beings and revel with them, but he lived with his life's love- Nature-secluded, r e m o t e . Thoreau's great philosophy, summed up in words, makes his idealism a beautiful code. He believed that all men should return to the crystaline purity of Mother Earth, leaving behind the tumultous deceit of the lustful world. Thoreau's character, as brave and as staunch as it was, prevented him from commanding audacity and bravado enough to go out and proclaim his ideals to all mankind. He was content with a lonely life, wherein he could live as he desired without the sneering criticisms of mocking cynics. His soul was pure, his idealism supreme, and thus did he live. Emerson says of him that he was never married, bred to no profession, lived alone, never voted, refused to pay taxes, and ate no flesh, nor drank wine. He was a her' mit, on one hand pitiful and humorous, while on the other, cold, austere, inhuman. We could perhaps snatch a thought or two of his inner self from his ligure, He was unusually light, with sloping shoulders and narrow chest. His physiognomy was by no means easy to describe. It was a thin, penetrating, big nosedu face with eyes that pierced staring observers. There was much of the Indian in -him. fThis may perhaps account for his love of solitudej. While walking, his eyes were fastened upon the ground as if to find a path that would lead to a more illuminating truth. Thoreau was an author of the immortal type. He did not rave about a quoted line which was beautiful, or a rare title. TH E ELCHANITE He had that indehnable spirit which lies around a man who seems to have all the time in the world in which to do what he pleases. As for reading, his opinion can be stated in his own words. Books, he says, should be read as deliberately and reserve- edly as they were written . These few words concisely give us a picture of the precision and dogmatism with which he tackled his tasks. One might think that Thoreau was a sullen pessimist, but here lies a great mis' take, for this warrior on the field of truth and enlightenment would have his reader shun Melaiicholy as one avoids the Devil. Thoreau's nature was entirely pleasant Surely, joy is the condition of life, writes he optimistically. Faith must have played a great part in Thoreau's life. For, how could this man have done what he had achieved without belief in Omnipotence, in a Creator. More' over, was not his Nature a religion?-was there not someone who manipulated all tht wonders he daily admired? Thoreau be lievedg he had faith in the supreme powei -GOD. But his tragic ezidwas a contradiction to his entire life. He became a consump tive and died of this malady which he had contracted in his life with Nature. That a man should have heart enough to shut himself off from society, and tra' verse verdure fearlessly, oblivious to dan' ger that lurked at every corner between honeycomb trees, is a tribute to his bravery That he had malice towards none and was fearless of all, makes him a monument te American idealism. ici.

After the hours have passed, and the cool breeze has crept its way into his solitary abode, a drowsiness overcomes himg a yielding spirit conquers him: a tempting dream beckons. As he looks about and beyond the flickering flare of his candle which casts haunting shadows upon the gloomy walls, a feeling or rebellion takes hold of him.

FARBRIDGE One learned scholar said of this book- This book, attractively written and at the same time thoroughly scholarly, will serve a double purpose, for it explains to all - jew and Gentile alike--the basic principles of our sacred faithf' And it is at the same time, as another scholar says, timely, wellfwritten, and thought provoking. Indeed, the book is timely. just at pres' ent, the younger jewish generation is agog with scepticism at the question of the relaf tion of modern science to traditional judaf ism. It is, however, not only for those who are not acquainted- with Jewish pref cepts that Dr. Farbridge explains and def fends the Bible and the principles of tradif tional Judaism. Even those of us whose faith is strong enough to withstand ground' less criticism ought to find out the reasons for our beliefs, lest, having disregarded the strengthening of the foundations of our religion, we fall at the slightest adverse argument. A The author discusses in a logical way and fitting order the proposed substitutes for Judaism, and shows that they do not solve the religious problem, He then points out the greatness of the Bible not only in its exceptional literary value, but also its high moral and ethical standard. In speaking of the status of woman we are given the THE ELCIIANITE - T 'f1f77 , T A ' V beautiful quotation - Woniaii was taken out of man, not out of his head to top him, nor out of his feet to be trampled under footg but out of his side to be equal to him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved. He continues, and refutes the difhculties seen in the Bible by modern critics-fthe miracles, the permitted existence of poly' gamy, the order to annihilate the neighbor' ing idokworshippers, the description of the creation of the universe. Dr. Farbridge explains the miracles either as allegorical references fas the tale of jonahj, or as a prayer in the present time rather than a tale of a past event Cas the miracle of Joshua, when he ordered the sun to remain fixed and the moon to remain till he tri- umphed in battlej, or even as actual defif anees of the laws of nature as we know them. If, he reasons, men, to whom the properties of nature are merely entrusted by Gfd who made them, can so control these properties as to be able to invent machines such as the airplane and Xfray, which men of fifty years ago considered miracles, how much more easily ought the Supreme Master to be able to accomplish things which, to us, are contrary to our laws of nature? As great as the Bible is, however, or perhaps because it is so great, some men claim the Pentateueh is the work of more than one man and of more than one period. The author, however, ably refutes their claims. Tradition, says Dr. Farbridge, is the means of accommodating the Bible to the ages. For instance, if we were to obey the law of the Sabbath in the Bible to the letter, we would be without food or warmth on these rest days. Tradition, however, in- terpreted this and other such laws, and made their fulfillment within our reach. SU1'C7llj Nl7lC These interpretations were accepted by us and have become as much a law as the originals in the Bible. Many, however, refuse to accept tradition because, they claim, it is something for which we must take another's word, whereas in science, one finds things out for himself. But this state' ment, too, is disproven very ably by Dr. Farbridge: he shows that laws of science are accepted without question from an author- ity as much as, if not more than traditional Judaism. A part of our tradition is our ceremonial services in the Synagogue. This, says the author, must not be done away with. Ceref mony tends to stimulate our interest and emotions. Religion, after all, should appeal not so much to the mind as to the heart. just as music, or the pomp and ceremony of a parade appeal to the heart, so do and so should the ceremonies of our services. After all, it was only by keeping these services-and keeping them in their original Hebrewf-that we have succeeded in pref serving even that little bit of Judaism which the most extreme Radicals still observe. To do away with these traditional observ- ances is to do away with ourselves as jews, They must be preserved at any cost: only by doing so can we preserve ourselves. Though pleasing in every other respect the book disappointed me in that it does not discuss the Dietary laws and the ob- servance of the Sabbath Vtfliy these were omitted, I do not understand: must certainly it is not due to lack of a defense. Outside of that is thoroughly orthodox and logical: at no point in the discussion does the author permit prejudice to sway his reasoning, This book. then, is a worthy discussion of most of the principles of Judaism. and should therefore. be of interest to .ill ,lexv and Gentile Orthodox and Reformed , illllie. if 244 ik Eighty TH E ELCHANITE Min nkv Shall he Zgrnkrnn By JOSEPH KAMINETZKY, '28 Far from the gross wealth of earth and its treasure, Shall be thy dwelling, Dew, sun, starlight, Warrior thou shalt be, sword in thy strong hand Keep thee in safetyg Yet for a season, unto thy deceiver Thou shalt be subjectg And then shall come strength, and with strength shall come freedom, His yoke shall be broken. -GENESIS xxvii, 39 I Fertile soil and dense foliage-symbolic of primitiveness and palpitating life-and a prancing, halffnaked, negro lad with a glistening, tawny body like the soil upon which he trodfall combined in primitive Congo. Glam, the negro lad, had ample cause for his ecstasy. His maturity had been asf serted. He was to attend the barbecue held on the shores of the Lualaba, near the lake of Tanganyika, not as an onlooker any more but as a participant. From afar he heard the the forest like an ominous breath. Boomf beating of tomftoms, passing through lay! Boomlay! Boomlay! Boom! He was stalking the prey. Then with a chortle of glee, he was swaying to the rhythm of the beating drums! He felt the blood pulsaf ting through his veins and heard it drum in his ears. Boomlay! boomlay! boomlay' boom! Tom! tom! tom! A chill breeze freshened. Glam was off for the warmth of the barbecue fire and for the lure of the tomftoms .... Gruesomely painted figures, madly sway' ing to the intoxicating rhythm of the beatf ing of the drums. Glam was among them, intent, strained, and swaying to the voice of the jungle. The glint of the tiger was in his eyes, the grace of the panther in his movements-and the palpitant pressure of the jungle in his veins. He was the lusty savage! Cn and on they swirled, entranced. They paused rigidly listening to the voice of the jungle ,and swirled on again until they dropped from exhaustion, their senses drug' ged. Glam lay sleeping deeply, dreaming of bloody soil, deliciously enticing .... H Glam was swaying once more. But this time it was not to the rhythm of the tom' toms. He was lying in the black hold of a vessel, shackled to his mates of last night's orgy. Through the night they had slept until the whites had stumbled upon them. Drugged and chained, the blacks had been thrown into the hold of a slave runner, bound for Norfolk, Virginia-to be smug' gled in like contraband hogs. Vermin and filth, stygian darkness, and cold, rank air, had killed the weakest of the lot. Glam looked down upon a stiff fened corpse whose open mouth gaped as if in wonder. He was too terrified to fear. He was enduring a more trying ordeal now! It was his instinctive desire for life-that which prompted him to be on the alert at the rustle of a leaf, af the rattle of a snake. Now it was a more fearsome foe! Vermin that crawled into one's mouth and nostrils, reeking corpses, nauseating, foul air and a rocking boat were his enemies. He would throttle them if he could, but these were new travails. It was difficult to sub' mit to them. The savage in him revolted, but his selffpreservation won. Glam would endure the journey . . . ' THE ELCHANITE An auction block at Norfolk was an event. Slaves were rare, and the extensive cotionffields demanded cultivation. View' ing the sales amusedly, stood dandics and beauties, calloused overseers and dignified colonials. The ragged, unkempt condition of the negrose did not deter the bidding one whit. Slaves were needed' and slaves would be worked until their hearts ceased to beat. An octoroon, beautiful and prim' itive, attracted high bidders. Immobile, she was listening for the faint tomftoms from across the ocean. Sold to a dandy, she stepped from the auction block, dazed by the queer procedure and dulled by weari- ness. However, a spark still flared within her--'the call of the tomftoms, the voice of the drums. Glam was sold to an old, dignified col' onial and sent away to sow and to cut. Dry stuff that grew out of fertile ground! Vxfhere were his jungles! At night he would dream of his Congo as he rocked to the creoning of the niggers . His Congo still coursed in his veins, but was a trifle sub' du-rd and less vivacious .... III Lately there had been a stir among the negroes. Glam's animal instinct told him of an approaching crisis. Wheii the over' seer was away they would gather in groups and whisper of rendezvous, and the savage glint would leap into their eyes, Glam sensed the impending danger and his muscles tensed. IV Glanfs Nmassah was the only one for whom Glam had any affection. Glam ad' mired massah's bearing and poise. Whezi Glam had cut his thigh open thru a slip of his scythe it was massah who had tended to him. Glam's fidelity was inexplicable, even to himself. Massah was good . . Eigl1ty'One With the passing of nights Glam felt more and more the approach of a crisis. And then it descended upon them, Glam lay listening despairingly for the beat of the tomftoms! Suddenly he sprang up alert, a savage once more! He could discern far off flares of firefbrands. Nat Turner, fanatic for freedom, and his folf lowers were killing. The savage in them had been thirsty many years, and could not be quenched easily. Glam, crouching in the cottonffields, watched their approach. The barbarian in him drew him nearer and nearer to the raging fanatics. To scream defiance and to throttle would awaken him his stupor. Stealthily he crept out of closer . . . Then he jumped up amazed, Massah's mansion was burning, and the negroes were running about it, chanting. Grazed by their lust they clambered over the veranda and beat upon the doors. From an upper win- dow Glam covld see massah with a rifle at his shoulder, while red spurts bored down upon the maniacal blacks, Black arms clutched at the air while thick blood oozed out' of them, They were bewildered at the los of their strength. Eerie holes in their sinewy bodies, pouring out their life blood. Glam was all animal now. I-Ie was stalking his prey, and his prey was tender 'massah' at the high window. Stealthily he crept in the shadows towards masah's window. Agile as a tiger he clambered up till something hard struck him on the chest and toppled him to earth. His ears were rififjinfg and his chest burnt fiercely. Grad- ually he felt his strength oozing from him. Then as from a distance, he heard the faint beats of the tomftoms: Boomlay, hoomlay, boomlay, booin .... Boomlay, hoomlay, boomlay. boomlay, boom .... Glam hui returned to his Congo . , Eigl1ty'Two THE ELCIIANITE Higrnmrihrnz linhnunhn By TREBRE In the midst of the hustle of New York City, there drifts aimlessly along the lower East Side a band of idlers who would have conformed with the requisites of the pro' verbial 'rolling stones who gather no moss if one would substitute a listless meander ing for rolling and a thick layer of dirt for moss. Among this band the Dupe exe isted. It would be incongruous to imagine him living elsewhere. Only among these individuals-where acknowledgement re' placed hospitality A could he possibly he welcomed. His unkempt figure, reeking of encased filth, had inexplicably appeared from nowhere and would eventually re turn there. In their endless wanderings these bits of human driftwood had gradually assumed the rigidity of automato. Any diversity was repulsed, including the ephemeral probe ings of the wouldfhe benefactors. Their cases had been analysed thoroughlyfbut still they trudged on, continually heing gihed at and tormentd. These taunts had found their marks. for out of them was hred moroseness and out of this a deep hurning hatred for humanity evolved. How' ever. they had long sunk into a lethargy and would only he aroused out of their stupor to wrap the draperies of their couch als-out them in Potters' Field. Philospohers sprawled with crooks at their sides-fa motley troop of diverse views, The sordidness of their environ- ment had preached to them a hitter abhorf rence for society, whereas their helplessnes had nipped their initiative in the hud. Bound together hy their utter degener- acy,, these unfortunates had adapted theme selves to their envoronment. In this ref spect the Dupe differed from his comrades. Since childhood he longed for something he himself could not define. In his early manhood this longing had smoldered, but now it burst into flame. Although he could not conceive of idealism in his wretchedness, he nevertheless felt a strong tension drawing him somewhere-he knew not where-a call of the wild . Perhaps this was why he had been called a dupe. This desire for Utopia was his undoing. As a dream it would have gained for him an enlivening interest in life, hut as a practical experiment it was taboo. And he had fondled it until he had crushed all chance of its blooming. A5 Rabiudfanath Tagore puts it, HVVI15' did the flowers wither? I clasped it to my heart in my devotion And tlierefore the flower withered. As if inspired hy the devil the Dupe would scream in hysteria, while his com' rades looked at him askance and shook their heads furtively. Hal Ha! I'm free! l'm roaming on air and my feet won't touch earth! Filthy earth' Filthy with-with . . 'Filthy with whatf ' he often wondered, What was it he ahhorred? He, the liltliiei and most ahhorred creature. Earth's duf plicity and deception. hideousness or slovenliness7 He hlasphemedi and raved at everything, for his own depravity had poisoned him with a hitter pessimism. He would not he gainsayed. He would not he suhdued hy the filthy earth that spurned him. To him everything was ugly, and in his encompassing condemnation his own self slipped past unnoticed . . . THE EI.CllANI'l'IT Eigl11yTliree Dupe had reached that decline that leads to oblivion. Before him yawned his future an immense void, while behind him were biting reminiscences. In retrospect his youth was a blundering, squandering mess. Mistakes that had palled in the dazzle of his youth, now, in his inactivity, loomed formidably. Then before he was aware of it old age had crept up on him from be' hind. How distantly strange his youth seemed to him when he considered his gnarled features. He dimly recalled how he too had been like the blithe youths he saw sauntering through the parks. But these memories were far from enlivening, for they were not memories, but haunting re' grets. Wheii he infrequently drowsed it was pondering over his youth. Out of the past a name, Charle the Eel, often came to his lips. The name seemed to be related to his own debonair person of fifty years ago. Charlie the Eel, a slip' pery member of Bracketts' gang-a group of bruisers and a subject to be discussed in whispers and behind one's tremulous palm -who was he? lt was all so long ago He evaded brooding over it, for it was so very disheartening. He had committed some crime and Susan had something to do with it. Susan? Hfrm . . . He had a vague idea of a gay girl who had kept house for an aged father. Susan's father, old .lim Delby, had been one of the district bosses in his heyday. However. after incurring the enmity of one of the big bosses he was shaken off like a dog shakes water of its fur. Susan worked in Stacy's, one of the few big def partment stores, and barely managed Lo make both ends meet. One summer day Charlie noticed her sitting on the firefescape of a crowded tene- ment house. All the tenement house win' dows were crowded with peering faces and craning bodies. They had shaken olf their moodiness and smiled through wearied f AICCS. Charlie felt a pang of remorse when he looked up at Susan. She was fresh and brightflike as a daisy enmeshed in a thorn bush. However, his gang training had taught him never to miss an opportunity and Charlie never waited for the second knock. He had acquired that fluent East Side jocularity and soon he had Susan squealing with mirth. An exchange of memoirs and they became fast friends. To Susan it was a yearning-to Charlie a whim. From then on old jim Delby looked upon Charlie as a steady . However, jim was not overfinquisitive of their relationship for he was content to let his head hang wearily and think of flighty glory . In Charlie's mind a daring plan was for' mulating. Stacy's was being rushed and often the days receipts would be stored away to be deposited the following morn' ing. Now, if Susan could talk to the guard. . . But Gosh! The kid trusted him so much. It would be hard to lie to her That Saturday night all his plans were in readiness. It had been quite easy to win Susan over to his side. He told her that he had made a wager with old Paddy that he could take the money from the safe from under Paddy's nose . At first Susan had demurred but she loved Charlie too much to doubt him. Everything worked smoothly. Susan was in Stacy's talking to old Paddy. after all the girls had left, She had returned for her scarf and she lingered to talk to the guard while the safe door was still open ln two minutes Charlie's deft fingers had taken the valuables out of the safe and he was tipltoeing away to the open win dow. ln his haste be tripped and sprawled headlong, Like a flash Paddy had his gun out and tired. But just as quickly Susan had jumped in front of Charlie and the bullet passed clean through her chest . . Then prison ..., Clean straight rows of cells and glistening steel were the mem orifw that remained in the l'3upe's mind Eiglityfour THE ELCHANITE Years and years of endless marching, drudf geries, and silence when regrets could hurt mostly. From rhen on the dream drifted away into thin air. It had all been so very, very long ago. All he could feel now was an ache. His regrets were so active and he was so dead. It hurt him to grow dead in a city that was forever young and bust' ling. He felt cold and forlorn. And it was a pondering over the whole scheme of Life that had awakened his ideal . He realized its impracticability but ban' ished these thoughts terrorfstricken. He hung on to his rantings tenaciously for hc knew they were the only things Life held for him. The Idiot's brooding graudally changed to hatred for himself as well as for human ity. Having realized his ideal to be a fantasy he felt empty and chilled. His youth mocked him, his ideal lured him into a frenzy, and was finally replaced by a yearning to die and glide easily over the horizon. To his intense disgust the Dupe realized he lacked the courage to kill himself. Dur- ing the night he tossed about in his troubled sleep by derision for himself and daytime? he eringed from himself loathingly. He loathed his own timidity but was unable to conquer it. He often looked down into the churning waters of the East River in despair, but turned away quivering, pant' ing. His own fancy pictured whirling monsters beckoning him on. He could hear them whisper sly chuckles into his ear and he could feel their hot breaths surging over him. This was the condition in which the Dupe found himself one cold winter night. He had snatched af a few winks of sleep but could not find no solace there. Cold sweat chilled his body and he could feel the cold fingers of winter gripping him. He staggered with his leaden feet to the dark edge of the East River. Below him swirled the river-its waves groped greedily at him. The Dupe turned away in des- pair. He could not do it. He was afraid. . . . Too cold to bolster up courage to do it now . . . As he turned to go he saw an aged, bent man pass by him, looking here and there in terror. Then he saw a hurtling figure while the chilled wind breathed a dull splash info his ear. The Dupe ran to the edge and peered over. A grizzled head rose to the surface. He grasped its frozen hair and, with an effort, was able to pull it ashore. The bloated lips were gasping, Nothing, nothing, not a thing left. With a sob that seemed to come directly from his heart he pushed the stiff figure into the water and watched it slide under. A part of a song flitted across his memory. Dawn of tomorrow, chase all the sorf rows . . . Was there a dawn or even a tof morowf' he smirked. Dumhly the Dupe toppled over into the river sans everything . -'CZL -x ,..r,.-2'- .:f ?'l.. - - -ff'-ff.--C. Q., e I If Ti.

Never be- fore have there been so startling perform- ances on the basketball court as during the last Fall term. Competition was dogged, as if the Fate of the whole school depended upon the outcome. From the novice Fresh' men to the veteran Seniors a surge for the championship laurels was made. All threatened to outdo each other in the grim contention. It was dog eat dog and devil take the hindmost -without any relaxation or letfup. The Freshmen became acquainted with the rigors of our basketball tournaments -fmuch to their chargrin. Before they could gather their forces together for another assault, they found themselves on the tail' end of the class standings. The 'la team. who had already asserted their ability the previous seasons, swept through the lower division tournament like a tornado. Captain Berman, S. Persky, and Essig were the nucleus of the team. In the upper division, competition was keener. The upper termers knew how im' portant a lead was, and were determined not to let their chances slip by. The keenest rivalry was between the 4a team and the Sb team. These two teams have been a thorn in each other's side since they were ATHLETICS timid Freshies. Every semester they pitted their ability against one another till the other class games paled in the dazzling ex' hibitions of these two teams. During the Fall term, the rivalry had attained its keenest. The two games that decided the upper division championship will never be forgotten. The teams matched up thus: Sb 4a Youner, W .e.ie.,.ee,e,.,. Center ..,,,,e,,s.s,,i Lifshirg, M, Krustangle, F .,.. Forward,..Greenberg, A. H. GOlClS1T1ith ............... Forward ............,.. Lifschitz, H, Goldstein, M ...,.....,..,.., Guard .............., Persky, M. Cohen, H, B .......... Guard .,....... Koenigsberg, J. Referee: Chubby Cohen-Timekeeper, Harry Stein. The 4a's won the first game by a spec' tacular shot in the last minute of play and determined to win the following cup and the championship. They led the first but soon their confidence was shattered. The 3b's started the second half with a will and soon tied the score. just as the whistle blew, the 3b's tossed in another goal, thereby winning the game and the champ' ionship of the upper division. A sizable crowd had gathered to watch the game and went frantic after that spectacular goal. That game, almost incredible in its unique' ness, will never be forgotten. Lusty cheers still reverberate on one's ears when one recalls that thrilling finish. THE ELCHANITE The lower termers put up a stiff fight, but their chances were tripped in the bud. The laurels went to the Sb team and, be' lieve me. they deserved them. The standing of the classes were: Team Won Lost P.C.

Although an elimif nation tournament, the basketball prof gram was interesting from start to finish This semester the basketball laurels were awarded to the 4b team. The 4b's were de termined not to leave the school without winning a championship, and had therefore concentrated all their efforts to win this term's laurels, The 2b's had won the lower division championship, but that is as far as their chances went, for they withered before the fierce onslaught of the 4b's. Baseball The Athletic Council had been granted S70 for baseball material, and hopes ran high for an interesting baseball tournament' Considering the divers attractions, the tour nament itself was a minor event. A var- sity team was formed to represent our school on the baseball diamond. It is es sential for any school. Although our teanf may not have performed overfbrilliantly they have nevertheless set an enviable pref cedent, and it is our hope that this pre, cedent will be continued during the follow ing years. The feature event of the season was Field Day. May 7 dawned cloudy, and our pessimists predicted a rainy day. However, Qld Sol peeped through the clouds, and the school left for Van Cortlandt Park Double-header class games were played and dispensed with so as to make way for the spice of the program-the annual Varsity vs.iS.O.Y. game. Entreaties could not persuade the Faculty to play, Evidently they had seen a cruel glint in the students' eyes when they were invited down the ball field. For, you see, grudges can be easily settled on the ball field-a wild pitched ball may be used to good advantage. The Faculty went through this Field Day unscathed: we do not be grudge them their good fortune. One of the features of the afternoon was Mr. Efron's peculiar manipulation or a bicycle. His accelerated velocity did not seem to conform with his intentions, his equilibrium was unbalanced. gravity took a hand in the matter and down fell Rome, A word to the wise - Ntheorising never drove a bicycle.

The event came as a surprise to most of the student body, for the work of the club, necessarily confined to a few qualified stu' dents, went on very quietly. After the first performance, however, the school was enthusiastic. There were, of course some young men who insisted on wisefcracking, but in the main the welcome accorded the Glee Club was warm and wholefhearted. EVOLUTION Freshman:- I don't know. Sophomore:- I am not prepared. Iuniorz- I do not remember. Senior:- I don't believe I can add any' thing to what has been said. Teacher-'iIf the G. O. supply store ad' vertised note books at Sc. a piece and if you paid them 15c. how many note books would you get? Stude- Two.', Teacher- But that's wrong. Stude- I know t is but they do it any' how. One day as I chanced to pass A beaver was damming a river And a man who had run out of gas, Was doing the same to his flivver. The assemblies were opened by Samuel M. Koenigsberg, the President during the fall term. Each night a member of the Glee Club acted as Hazan, and the other members, under the leadership of Solomon Bashkowitz, constituted a supporting choir. There followed interesting lectures each night by Dr. David S. Stern, Dr. P. Churgin, Rabbi Aaron D. Burack, and Rabbi Michael S, Eskolsky. A splendid vocal program followed the lighting of the candles. Mr. Bashkowitz had so well drilled his charges that their selections were well' nigh perfect. In short, the Chanukah assemblies were novel, tuneful, entertain' ing, and inspiring. fContinued from page 745 Back and forth, back and forth, he rocked himselfg creakfcreakfcreak-creak, went the rocker, and his mind kept up the mono' tonous tune, It can't be true-, it can't be true. just then the clock chimed out the hour in the sweet, musical, bellflike notes. In a frenzy, Milton ran to it, raised it above his head and shattered it on the ground. Then mockingly, behind him, there floated up from the street the voice of some one singing. Tingfa-ling, tingfafling, ting' afling, 'I love the song of the bells. Tingf afling, ting-afling,, tingfafling, I love the story they tell. Milton rushed back to the window, slammed it down to shut out the song, and slumped, exhausted, into the rocker. Thoughts of his plight raced through his mind. To escape them, he madly began to rock back and forth. Creakfcreak, creakf creak ,raced the chair. But his mind raced to keep in harmony. Reva-is dead. Daniel -is dead. It canlt-be true. It can't-be true. Mockingly, the chair gave the answer Yes,-fits true. Both are dead. Dead-deadf' Finally, relief came to him in a sleep of exhaustation-a peaceful oblivion. The song of the bells had stopped, but, oh, what a memory lingered on for Mr. Tingle-to haunt him forever, till the day when he, too, would hark to that Song of the Bells.
