This is what our late Rosh-Yeshiva, Dr. Bernard Revel, of blessed memory, used to cali the harmonious blending between religious and secular education. There was a time when people thought that a secular education would be the salvation of humanity from the misfortunes and bigotry that might befall mankind. The twentieth century, however, has refuted this theory, for never in the history of the world has knowledge been so widely spread as in our present century, and never before in the history ot mankind have human knowiedge and secular discoveries been used for such destructive forces as they are at the present. Whatever technical progress the world has made is used today destructively, by leaders, whose morals are of the dark ages and the iungle. The fact is, however, that human knowledge can never serve as the salvation of humanity. The fruits of human knowledge can be used for both construction and destruction. As human beings, we are naturally interested in the mysteries of the universe and in the various research of the human intellect, but such a form of education, as important as it may be, will never serve as a mode of living, will never lift one to higher. spiritual and moral levels. It is only through our faith in our Creator, the sacred origin of mankind, and through the spiritual and ethical values of the Torah that we can serve a higher purposes in life and be true to ourselves an our Creator, to whom we owe our being. The Yeshiva, through its teaching of the sacred mode of living based upon the concept of the Torah, endeavors to give you a spiritual and moral way of life. What- ever secular education you have received here merely complements the Jewish re- ligious and moralt training, which affords you the directive value of the good life. These sacred values above all you must bear in mind. SAMUEL BELKIN, President of Yeshiva Y ', 1. K 4 ,4 W1.,,.f.,.. s ,, Si.. Q'arLlafing 6241.65 of 1943 SHELLEY R. SAFIR, PRINCIPAL TALMUDICAL ACADEMY Once again our thoughts turn from books and exam- inations and graduation requirements to the day of Commencement. After four years of hard and consci- entious effort, you, young men of the class of 1943, are ready to take your place by the side of those thousands who have preceded you in the course of the twenty-five years that have elapsed since the first Talmudical Academy graduation in 1919. On this joyous occasion in your young lives, when you have reached an im- portant milestone in the course of your preparation for the fulness of the days to come, l am happy to greet you and to wish you well. You have completed successfully the course of the Yeshiva High School - some with great distinction - all with credit to yourselves and to our institution. Whether you choose as your life work some phase of the domain of human knowledge and dedicate yourselves to study and teaching, whether you give your energies to the fields of daily human needs or devote yourselves to the realm of the Spirit, remember the philosophy and the way of life that you have been taught here. Though the problems that you, as Jews, must face in this confused world are not always clear, you must, each and all of you, cling to those elements of our cultural past that have made us great as a people. You, graduates of Talmudical Academy High school, are pioneers. You have had an education different from that of the remainder of the Jewish youth in this country. You have had an opportunity to learn the value and significance of intensive Jewish study, for a deeper and truer understanding of the Jewish consciousness and soul. With this great common bond, you are strengthened to withstand the material influences of the time, less prone to fall prey to the disintergrating forces which are threatening of the time, less prone to fall prey to the disintegrating forces which are threatening united, assert yourselves and your influence in the lives of our youth, so that by your example you may effect that these twenty-five years of the Talmdical Academy shall not have been in vain, but that the instruction and the inspiration you received here shall be a blessing to you and to those who are to be influenced by you. Unite under the banner of the ideals for which your school stands, so that its spirit may widen and deepen, a current of faith and culture in American Jewry.

This year, attendance was greater than in previous years because the day was kept secret. Cameras were snapping ceaselessly, as the Elchanite photographers took more than one hundred pictures of Seniors in every conceivable and inconceivable pose. The schedule was arranged by Manny Green- wald, who collaborated with Louis Bernstein and the Senior Council. Alvin Reines was the administrative assistant, spending the day drinking Coca- Colas and handing orders to the secretary. E. Holzer was principal for the day, and for the most of it blew ol? hot air! There was a steady stream of Seniors trick- ling through the halls, rushing delinquents down to the office. Some Seniors were fortunate enough to instruct more than one class. Perhaps one of the best run classes was English 4, but Pep Berger was reluctant to reveal to us the secret of his success. The Canadian Flash, l. Zeifman, came down a quarter to six, only to discover, to his amazement, that his class had cut. At the end of the sixth period, the Seniors held a small party in Room 212. Sodas and cup-cakes disappeared with mysterious speed. Although the entertainers were a bit shy at first, and Fisch never got much further than 'NUTS El'l 'IDN never- theless when Kramer got started, the wisecracks flew at an alarming rate. Cohen de- lighted the class with a baseball game, played and narrated in Russian. Diplomas and degrees were then handed out, Gerry Homnick receiving the longest one ever to be issued by a Senior class. The Seniors all had a wonderful time and agreed that the day was most assuredly a success.

Maurice Aranov and Alex Soled, the opposing lawyers, had so outlined their briefs that Chief justice Louis Bernstein and Associate justice Joseph Appleman were baffled. Mr. Soled, lawyer for the plaintiff, Mr. Goldman, C. P. A., who claims that he was engaged to audit the accounts of Tiny Dynamite Weiss Cpro- fesssion-hobo, assets-nonej but was not paid for his labors, displayed his knowledge of the Talmud with countless quotations which he had garnered in T. A. in the little time that he had not slept. Mr. Aranov, attorney for the defendant retorted with quotations from Rambam by the eminent jurist Dr. B. D. Schapiro. The free How of knowledge so surprised and astounded the erudite judges that a recess was granted to the justices. The case will be referred to the Senate for a decision.

Wolfej that Gerald Homnick million- aire rabbi, intends marrying Miss Frisa Firestone, the glamorous reb- bitzen from the East Side. This will be Gerry's eleventh marriage after twelve divorces. His last wife was Miss Ledys Boose, famous clarinet virtuoso. Miss Firestone had prev- iously been engaged to Norman M. Segelstein, professional Bowery bum. He recently renounced her because of bankruptcy. The wedding will be per- formed by Rabbi H. Altuslty at the Young Israel of Manhattan. The wedding was arranged by Aaron XVeiss. dear friend of the bridegroom. Cantor Mandel Fisch will chant the blessings and Emanuel j. Greenwald will devour the food. The wedding will be limited to close friends and Senator XValter Spielman will act as best man. Jia Jmwr guna, 7963 Martin Lieber Writes New Opera , ll Q ' - X Martin Lieber, that well known playwright, poet, columnist as well as operatic writer. has just added an- other to his lengthy list of famous operas. Mr. Lieber has gained fame for his ability to write an opera in not more than one hour, a remark- able skill developed while attending English classes at T. A. Before an immense crowd in the Portlam Audi- torium, under the auspices of Seymour Cohen and accompanied by his one and only Cat-Gut Choir, Martin Lie- ber, sang an aria called Oi Vay Is Mir , from his opera entitled Egg- spot on the Cravat . Doc Shapiro, who was suffering in the first aisle, was angry because Mr. Lieber had refused to sing a song written by Doc , and entitled Raffles or Lot- kas . Doc began to boo the opera rather loudly, whereupon Mr. Lieber quietly put Doc to sleep by tap- ping him gently on the head with a bass fiddle. Mr. Lieber is expected to continue Writing his operas during his stay in the jug for the next ninety days. Noted Scientist Publishes Thesis Morris Seltzer, who has eclipsed Einstein's fame with his new dis- coveries, has done it again. The author of a thesis on How Many Germs in Germany? has now pub- lished his thesis on Why it Hurts the Head to Dive in Hard Water!'. Critics have hailed this thesis as the most enlightening of the century and surely deserving the Pulizer Prize. These theses were published by the L. Knite Publishing Corporation. Genius Retires EEE Quiz Kid Segelstein who aston- ished millions with his knowledge of past, present, and future events, has announced that he will retire at the end of this year, 1965. Having amassed a fortune by driv- ing a truck in his spare time, Norman Morton Segelstein can now retire on his immense weekly income of two cents. Mr. Segelstein earned his reputation as a genius through his participation in the SEGULAH of T. A. Thirty TWO Kramer Stars In f'Transportation The Cohen Theatre Guild presented its fifth consecutive hit tonight. Port- lam's Auditorium was filled to capac- ity as they watched Morris Kramer, veteran comedian, in a new type of role. Kramer tonight depended on a comic interpretation of Shoes , espe- cially written by Martin Lieber, instead of punch gags. Co-starred with Kra- mer were Eddie Wolfe, who played the part of a drunk mechanic, and Honest john Segelstein, who por- trayed a Bowery hoodlum. The play was written by Leo Sutton, executive director of the Pink Organization of America Ca modified redl, to show society's misunderstanding of the un- fortunate bum. Segelstein's portrayal of the dejected outcast was most real- istic. The audience greeted the show favorably, but veteran theatre-goers remembered the show as something very similar to a 1943 production. The proceeds went to a fund to buy the Dodgers a new ballteam. Louis Bernstein Elected President Louis Bernstein has attained his life's ambition by being elected Presi- dent of the Senior Class of Sing Sing College, where he was originally sent for throwing soda bottles at Mandel Fisch, an umpire at the Hotshot Sta- dium. Vifhen the election results were made known to him, Bernstein said with a tear in his eye land a file in his pocketb, This is the happiest mo- ment in my C sob, sobj life. We be- lieve that this is the truth, because he is serving a life sentence. Jim jvmcaai Quite, 7963 SPORTS fr. s jbxyg l , ill. E T :Wie , Yankees Beat Dodgers Okun Homers In Ninth A. M. Oct. 15 - The Yankees won their second straight World Series game 4 - 2, in the ninth inning to- day, when Sam Okun homered with Strassberg on second. The inning opened with Strassberg blasting a line drive over Cohen's head which rolled to the wall. Then Okun promptly blasted the ball out of the Yankee Stadium, the first man ever to do so. Red Goldman estimated that the drive went 768 feet in the illf. Manager Mandel Fisch sent strap- ping lrving Wiesel to the mound. Wiesel had the Dodgers eating out of his hand, until Blimp Weiss blasted a ball against the A150 foot sign in centerfield and chugged into first base. Then Al Buchman fouled off a number of pitchers before draw- ing a walk. Then Cohen lined the ball over Okuns head and Buchman pushed Weiss home ahead of him. Out jumped Manager Fisch and spun umpire Reines around.'Before Reines could take another step I.ippy Cohen spun him around the other way. The argument ended with Reines en route to Bellevue. The Yankees scored the first two runs when Weiss dropped a third strike and fell down before he could bend over. Then Fisch tripled scor- ing Dave Younger, recently traded from Cleveland, ahead of him. Then Okun scored him with an inheld out. Manager Cohen announced after the game that he will start Sutton to- morrow. Fisch will probably counter with Spielman. Fredman Beats Seharfstein 54-52 Marvin Fredman defeated Bado Scharfstein in front of a packed Gar- den, full to its capacity. This is the newest game, now played in the Gar- den , lt is called the Battle of the Giants and was invented by Louis Bernstein, veteran sports commenta- tor of station WTA. The game is very similar to basketball except there are only one man teams. Fredman scored two fouls, with eight seconds to play, thus clinching the game. Bado fell behind at first, but suddenly exhibited a remarkable set shot. But the dam- age was already done, and the game ended with Fredman on top. Touring the country with Fredman, is his man- ager, The Canadian Flash or Solly Zeifman, who gives fashion shows in between halves. Thirty Three Chess Championship Decided After a brilliant defensive game, H, Altusky of the Bronx, New York, defeated J. Epstein of Brockton, Mass. for the Chess Championship of the eastern sea-board. After being behind a pawn, Mr. Altusky suddenly moved his knight into a position checking both the king and queen of Mr. Epstein. Epstein, who played white, resigned after 28 moves. Mr. Altusky will now meet Leo Sutton for the championship of the country. Ads WANTED Non-skid skull cap. Apply Mr. Isaak D. Orleans WANTED A maneuverable Blonde Bomber . G.

Glzarderi jrievlrnan Charley was a chemist, Charley is no more. He thought it was HZO, lt was HZSO4. Every person who knows Charley Friedman, loves, respects, and admires him. Anybody who knows him will never suspect Charley of being guilty of mistaking water for sulfuric acid. The student who constructed these lines about Charley Fried- man must have been unfamiliar with him. Maybe he did not realize that Charley is one of the most versatile pedagogue, that T. A. has ever known. He could teach maths and sciences equally well. He was well versed in many languages and could fill in as an Engish or history teacher. It was rumored that when Charley was studying for the rabbinate, he astounded the late Dr. Revel WT by completing Yoreh Dayah in a little more than a summer. When it suited him, Charley practiced law on the side. He has now dropped all his former accomplishments. He is now studying meteorlogy at Chanute Field, as a private in the United States Army Air Force. Not many know Charley was an ardent Dodger fan. He was very adept at work- ing crossword puzzles. There were times while traveling from and to school on the lndependent System, that he completed a puzzle by the 59th Street station. Like other teachers, Charley had a pet position and a pet hat. Some teachers like to clasp their hands behind their heads. Others like to pick on the pencils in their vest pocket. Charley liked to curl himself up on a chair. He hated to give a test almost as much as failing a student. Only once in the time I have known him did Charley fail a student for a third. He never flunked anyone for a term. Some say he didn't give many tests because he didn't want to mark papers. l maintain that he didn't want to disrupt his schedule so that he could come closer to finishing a term's work. lt was not an uncommon sight to see a flock of students crowd around Charley. He was always ready to explain a problem, whether it was a geometric theorem, a chemistry problem, or a commentary on the Talmud. He was one of the most modest and retiring person I have ever known and the most friendly teacher a student can ever have. Towards the completion of the last term, Charley prepared to respond to his country's call. He might have been deferred for many reasons but he waived every claim. The school responded with the usual banter. Aw, he's too skinny or Aw, he's too young were some of the typical cracks. lncidentally, that was the only thing l could never tell Charley to tell me, his age. Charley had a great sense of humor and he made good use of it in retorting to these wisecracks. He wanted to be put in the Coast Artillery so that he could push the button that make the big guns go boom. A few days before his induction the school assembled to honor and pay him tribute. The students presented him with a token of appreciation and the faculty tendered a testimonial banquet in his honor. Mr. Lichtenberg, the faculty advisor, summarized every one's feeling. He's our Charley Friedman wherever he may be. We know he'll make good. Thirty Eight Jlfl C. GCLLA MARTIN LIEBER Mr. Abrams was born in Russia and came to America when he was still a young fellow. He was graduated from Talmudical Academy in 1926, with the hope of becoming a history teacher, but, unfort- unately for the Senior Class who staged a mass cut this term, N. B. A. became the Administrative Assistant of our school. Despite the fact that Mr. Abrams is known and feared for his famous sus- pended indefinitelyl , he is really a swell fellow. When you get to know him, you realize that his bark is worse than his bite. Though Mr. Abrams may be short To him no student dare retort But he can find so many ways To suspend you indefinitely for 3 or 4 days. Mr. Abromowitz has gained the admiration ot T. A. students because it has become known that he had once engaged in the pugilistic sport. His quaint method of eiecting students reflects his past. With a twist of his wrist and a flip of his finger, he points at the innocent student who is cowering in the corner. With a short snort and a mellow bellow, You-Up-Out! , the student is exiled from the French class. Mr. Abromowitz is mighty tough He shows he's got that fighting stuff He's a colorful figure in his skullcap 'though he's come through many scrap. Mr. Blume is an artist as well as a French and Spanish teacher. He had always told us that some- day, he would show us one of his masterpieces, yet somehow he never did. The only art that he has proven himself capable of, was the block lettering taught us in first term. Frankie is a Phi Betta Kappa man and also our champion chess instructor. Take note Freshmen! We're wise to his methods of giving tests. He'll give tests on Tuesdays and Thursdays. His pet phrase is Vous parlez francais comme une vache espagnol . Mr. Blume is a handsome guy With his zoot suit sharpie tie He's a whiz at chess, I'm telling you, And he's got a bit of humor too. Dr. Charles is our language specialist. He teaches German, Latin and French. All his students agree that he has a sense of humor. We really don't know what Mr. Blume would do without Dr. Charles as an opponent at chess. He is a quiet, genial fellow who commands respect and who dislikes all sorts of noise and disturbances. You'd never find him boasting of the plays he wrote or of those he translated into English, but he does point with pride to the 1935 Elchanite where he was the most popular teacher. His chief trouble now, is not in the least popularity, but getting together a German class. Dr. Charles comes to our school in Manhattan To teach us our German and our Latin. He is so dignified and quiet Allowing for an occasional riot. Dr. Safir has been the Principal of Talmudical Academy for approximately twenty years. Aside from this, he is the Biology Professor in the Yeshiva College. Outwardly, he appears very strict and dignified, but those pupils who have come in contact with him know that he is a cordial and genial fellow. He is best known in T. A. for his habit of announcing the bad news before the good news at our assemblies. The Seniors will always remember him for his admonition you'll all hang together speech after the Senior mass cut. Meet our Principal, Dr. Safir Who never speaks with passion and fire But his steady voice and stalwart arm Makes you quiver with alarm. Thirty Nine Mr. Tauber is one of the best informed teachers that Talmudical Academy has been priviliged to have. A person entering his room will always find him in the midst of a heated discussion with his students, sometimes lasting until eight o'clock at night. He seems to have a slight leaning towards Russia, at present, and seems to know an infinite number of famous people. His students have grown to admire him for his ability to get out of the most inextricable situations while debating. Mr. Tauber's gift to T. A. was the cultivation of a clear mind and better speech in his students. Of stories Mr. Tauber's full: Some are true, and some are bull, But if there's one thing he won't shun, That is, a chance to have some fun. Mr. Lichtenberg is extremely popular in Talmudical Academy. As faculty advisor, he supervises the Student Council, and is the go-between for the students and the administration. He is probably the most lenient teacher, because he is always willing to postpone a test if there is a reason for it land there usually isi. Lichty , as we affectionately call him, knows everything from French to mathematics, and he gives the credit to the clubs which he attended. Mr. Lichtenberg is one of the best, Almost alway willing to postpone a testp He takes an example as hard as can be, And solves it as easy as A. B. C. Mr. loops. . . DOCTOR. . J Noble, aside from teaching us Hebrew in T. A., is the Registrar in the Teacher's Institute, of which he is a graduate. In class, he always insists that we speak Hebrew only, and then to the great amusement of his pupils goes into a lengthy discourse in the English language. Joe , as Mr. Noble is commonly known was grad- uated from Talmudical Academy and then from Yeshiva College. Joseph's favorite actress-he hates them all. His favorite soft drink, aside from water, is Pepsi-Cola. Mr. Noble is very strict, and he Mr. Schain hails from St. Louis, Mo. He was grad- uated from Columbia University, where he pitched for the Columbia Nine. While he talks about the various parts of the human anatomy, poisonous plants, and terrible diseases without batting an eye- lash, his students sit with their tongues hanging out, and their eyes popping. Sometimes, when he is in a good mood he amuses the pupils by telling them about his little pet snake, which he keeps in his house, and which hibernates in summer, and comes out in winter. So far, he has avoided discussing reproduction in detail, but some day his pupils will pin him down. Now we come to Mr. Schain, He'll tell you all about the brain, Or mammals, birds, or fish in the sea, Or anything pertaining to Biology. Doctor Shapiro, better known as Doc , was born in Russia approximately 1,943 years ago. He came to America about 1,776 years ago, and sold papers here. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that particular paper went out of business. Doc then got a job as a war worker, became a lawyer, then a high school teacher, and finally was caught by T. A. where he has taught everything from gym to history. His hobby is playing ping-pong and selling raffles. His greatest delight is handing out minuses and then removing them when the student brings a sold raffle book. Doc Shapiro is an active old chap He'll give you a minus if you nap, Then he'll argue with you until the ring of the gong, And go downstairs and play ping-pong. Mr. Strum, or Strummy, as we affectionately call him, is a nice quiet chap who always walks around as if he were dreaming. In class, he sits serenely staring at the walls, as if in a daze, while his class sits quietly, not daring to breathe, lest they wake their instructor from his reverie. Thus Strummy keeps his class quiet without the slightest physical exertion. His pupils respect him because he cooperates with them constantly. An intelligent chap is Mr. Strum, Tries to show his authority, Who also makes an earnest chum, He'5 Q Cagsqnovg and Q handsome guy, When he plunges into deep concentration lMay heaven forgive me for that liej. It seems 'twill last for the duration. Forty Rabbi Dr. Wind is beloved by all who know him. A graduate of Talmudical Academy and of Yeshiva College, he now teaches Hebrew in our High School and Talmud in the Teacher's Institute. When Windy is not in class, you can surely find him in Harry's Luncheonette where he sits at the soda fountain dunking his doughnuts in his coffee. He knows an inexhaustible amount of psukim and anecdotes which he often relates to us. lt was he who origin- ated the mnuvalim society. His pet phrase, announcing to a student that he will soon fail, is the posuk - Flunk you mnuval . A most excitable fellow is Rabbi Wind Toward all his students who have sinned lf you're bad, he puts down a dot, round and dark And he adds them all up before the final mark. Mr. Greitzer is considered by his students, one of the toughest teachers. He is best described as a very severe and hard worker, who is not ashamed to hand out zeros by the dozens. He is always right iso he saysl and takes great delight in showing some poor, misguided pupil how logical Math is. If a pupil does not do an example HIS way, it is automatically wrong. Despite all this, his pupils manage to get passing lpassing 851 marks on their Regents. Mr, Greitzer's a man that's good to know He's full of Math from head to toe But one thing l'd like to know is, why, When he gives homework, he piles it so high? Rabbi Reguer, a recent graduate of Yeshiva College, has taught in many places, among them Yeshivath Eytz Chaim, Young Israel of Boro Park, and our own Teacher's Institute and High School. He is the most enthusiastic Hebrew teacher and in his High School classes only Hebrew is spoken. He has appointed himself a one-man committee to 'keep waste papers in the pails. He loves Hebrew poetry and enioys handing out assignments to memorize them. Our admiration for him is not lessened by this. Rabbi Reguer is very precise He abhors all kinds of folly and vice He rules his class with an iron hand 'gainst which no Frosh or Senior can stand. Mr. Orleans takes great pride in the fact that he is the most democratic teacher in Talmudical Academy. The class is run according to parliamen- tary procedure with Mr. Orleans as supervisor. Their democracy is highlighted by the following: they must always be punctual, they must immediately accept Mr. Orleans projects, they must be silent and hand in homework on time, the students must keep a notebook and homework book, no manipulators etc. will be allowed in the class. Mr. Orleans is one of the few teachers in T. A. whore cooperation sympathy and advice can be had at any time. lke was almost everything from a cook to a detective, we therefore fondly call him our jack of all trades . r H Mr. Orleans is otherwise known as the Duke He makes you tremble at his rebuke l'm sure you'll all agree, when I say, He's a regular guy in his quaint little way. Mr. Kronish is truly a self made man. He was graduated from Fordham University, C. C. N. Y., New York University, and N. S. S. R. He is best known by the fact that, most always, no one passes in his class for the first third, and by the huge amount of homework he dishes out. His pupils have learned, to their great chagrin, that he simply can't be stumped on any question dealing with history. He knows a lot of the inside dope , which he acquired through reading an enormous amount of books. He has taught in T. A. since 1938, and says he has enjoyed it very much. Mr. Kronish knows all about Social Science From the time of King Tut, 'til the Triple Alliance He never played while small, instead A load of history books he read. Mr. Frankel is a quiet, young, and earnest chap, who seems to be more like an ordinary fellow than T. A.'s chemistry teacher. He is, what we call a regular guy , because, when he comes into class each day, he slaps his students on the back, cracks a few corny jokes, and makes a few ex- periments that never work. lThis is a typical Chemistry period.J When he has no class, he goes down to the office and flirts with the Secretary. Mr. Frankel teaches Chem. He always says Cherhez la femme Although in class he does not shirk, His experiments never seem to work. Forty One Monsieur Ross is our professeur de francais. He always teaches his students rules about the French language which no book seems to contain, although he helped write the French book we now use. He doesn't like presidents, especially T. A. presidents, whom he calls loafers and tramps. lEd. Note.--Nol No! Okun, You can't challenge him to a duelj. Mr. Ross is very cruel. Ah! so cruel. After allowing a student to copy a complete test, he rips the paper in front of the eyes of the poor, unfortunate victim of a. . . French teacher . We think it is the cruelest thing a teacher can do. This is the story of Mr. Ross Mr. Lebowitz needs no introduction to a T. A. student. Everyone knows Mr. Lebowitz. They also know that his diet consists of peanuts, peanuts and salted peanuts. They also know that he divides his time between Harry's Cafeteria and teaching Physics and Chemistry. His students know that he possesses, besides his love for eating, a sparkling sense of humor. His class lwhich usually consist of from three to five studentsi agrees unanimously that he is a swell fellow. Mr. Lebowitz is disting- uished from other Chemistry teachers in that one out of every fifty of his experiments usually works. The Seniors will never forget his attempt to blow up the Yeshiva with the production of ZnS. Better luck next time. With Mr. Lebowitz there is no competing He shows you that he's the boss When it comes time for eating. He'll screw your head off wirh a wrench Mr. Lebowitz, please keep calm and cool And Stuff inside C b00k of French. Don't let your students blow up our school. Mr. Matz is, in our opinion, the most modest teacher in Talmudical Academy. News to us, is that he is also an inventor. fSo says his son, Miltoni. His invention, a new projection machine, of which he is very proud, cannot be described now because it is a military secret. We know Mr. Matz best for the stories, that he used to tell us about the girl's school in which he taught. The most modest teacher is Mr. Matz For him, we fondly tip our hats Though we sometimes slept while he taught Math, He never woke us with his wrath. This has been a birds-eye review of our erstwhile pedagogues in Talmudical Academy . . . We, the graduates, will always remember them as a swell bunch, who made our stay in T. A. a pleasant one. And, we have reserved a niche in our minds, in which we will always cherish the memories of our beloved instructors, pounding away to an inane class, dozing peacefully in their seats. Forty Two LITERARY .SDAema idroe . .JL!a:5!zem gznlfeinu, .Jh1lafi!zem gckocl . . . by RAPHAEL LEVI He stood there, by the wall - quiet, courageous, unflinching a Polish Jew. . . A mere skeleton, a bag of bones. SHEMA. . . Hear! Listen to me! . . . I was a little Polish boy, born in the ancient city of Lublin, there, where the great Gaonim, those sages of all Israel, had lived. How well I remember that little grey house on the Judengasse, where I was born, where I lived, where I learned. . . My mother, a wonderful woman, kept house for me and my sisters. Ah! how well I remember how jealous I was, in my own little way, whenever my mother as much as touched them. I was my mother's favorite, and how well I knew it! My mother! ln spite of her age, she was beautiful. Especially her big, brown eyes that could sparkle with pleasure or become doleful as could be. The Hne-fashioned nose, the slim body, all these gave her the appearance of the typical goya. Every night she would come to my little cot and daven with me. Oh! how beautiful it all had been! . . . My father was dead. He had died of the burns he received while rescuing a Sefer Torah from the burning shul. It was the memory of this scarred, sorrowful face, that later urged me to follow my heart and not my head. At the age of eight I entered the cheder. It was not an ordinary cheder: where the rebbi can't teach, the students don't want to learn, and which, at the best, is a waste of time and money. In my cheder there were teachers who could teach, students who studied, and books to study from. There we started with Bereshis and finished with the Talmud, not first with the last. At my bar-mitzvah my sisters kissed me for the first time that I can re- member. We really loved each other, although I did not think so at the time. . . Yes, life was good to me. My mother, who was not so well off, nevertheless, sent me to school. To be able to do this she had to work in an office, in spite of her age. When she came home in the evening, dog-tired, I came to recognize the real worth of my two sisters. They, too, came home tired, but in spite of this they helped my mother tidy up whenever and wherever they could. Then came the day when I was graduated. Oh, to see again that gleam of pride in my mother's brown eyes! . . . ANLEGEN. . . YISROEI.. . . Oh Israel! Israel, thy doom is sealed! . . . In September, 1939, when the first guns rumbled, I knew that the death knell had been sounded. It was a beau- tiful Friday morning! Oh, if it only had rained, poured! At least the Panzer divisions could have been staved off until some reinforcements could reach us. As it was it was all over after three weeks of wanton slaughter. Then the Germans came to Lublin. Their entrance was marked by brutality and ruthlessness. Of course we all knew that they Forty Four were beasts, impervious to any human feelings, nevertheless none of us had expected their brutality to be wasted on animals. Only now do I know the full meaning of the word sadism . A dog, and a blind one at that, had dared bark at a German sold! ier. No, he was not shot, he was whipped to death. lt was then that I knew something was going to happen, something terrible, something nobody dared talk about, some- thing that was uppermost in the minds of all of us! That ancient curse was coming true - literally. The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from afar. . . A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the old, nor show favor to the young. . . In the morning thou shalt say, 'Would G-d it were even', and at even thou shalt say, 'Would G-d it were morning '. Yes, now Jew and Gentile alike are trodden underfoot, under an iron heel, from which there is no escape. Our mothers - yes, my mother - our sisters - yes, my sisters - were sent to Germany. After that I felt that my life was worth no more. I went down to the river. I thought. . . It is ten meters deep here . . . It will be very peaceful. . . Then I saw and heard the rumble of an explosion. The ammunition barges had exploded. I knew than I could give my life in another way. . . ACHTUNG. . . HASHEM ELOKEINU HASHEM. . . Oh G-d Almighty! How we worked! A little water in this load of grain, and the boat that is to carry it will burst! . . . A little water on this coal, and tomorrow it will explode! . . . A match in this haystack, and the Berlin baalei-batim will be minus two trainloads of Polish wheat! . . . Thou shalt tend to thy vineyard, but thou shalt not enjoy its fruits. Polish men and women had literally been worked to death, for the shipments of wheat must go on! But the underground at least, can do something about it. If you are tired of life, you might as well do something useful before it is ended. I did some things! . . . A stick of dynamite in the cellar of one of the office buildings. . . A knife in the back of a German soldier. . . True, ten hostages had been shot for every German, but they would have died of hunger anyway. . . They want to exterminate a people! a race! But some fight back. lt is the fight of David against Goliath. . . Israel against Amalek. . . The Maccabeans against the Syrians. Defeats have to be suffered before final victory. If we do not tight back, we are surely lost, if we do, we die a horrible death. . . My luck lasted quite a while, but that luck could not last forever. I knew - the knowledge was always with me - It is that eternal waiting that is the worst part of it. I was waiting for it to happen. When it came I was ready for it . . . My fingers were broken one by one. My teeth were knocked out. Why go into all the horrible details? I hurt all over, but now no more. . . Ah, for another glimpse of my mother's eyes! . . . I wonder where my poor sisters are now. . . lf only I could have helped them I would have gladly gone through ten times what I did . . .

Forty Six a n. cjfidufe .70 flew er JOSEPH MANDELKORN , The room is just like any other room in T. A .... Amidst the clinging pieces of plaster on the walls, the names, pedigrees, and fatal histories of former T. A. students look down upon the Freshmen below as if to say, Poor kids! You don't know what you're in for . . . yet. The windows, of which, a provident architect, foreseeing their inevitable usage, had provided many, echo a cry which is voiced by the beautiful engravings in the thick film of dust upon them, Please clean me. Yes, it is an ordinary room to any outsider, but to T. A. students, Room 212 will always be known as Mr. Orleans' room. It's been over a half year since I last entered that room, yet I can vividly recall the man who characterizes it and many of the incidents which occurred there. lt was my favorite pastime to find a seat well situated to the rear, and there sleep away my troubles. Occasionally, my peaceful meditations would be interrupted by these iarring words, And you Mandelkorn, what is your opinion of Hamlet? To which the wise T. A. student can only reply, as I invariably did, I agree with you. I have left those days of quiet, philosophical thought behind me forever, but sometimes l look back upon them with a feeling akin to regret. Having had so much time on my hands during my English classes, it is not phenomenal that the wheels in my noggin would start revolving and I would think . . . of everything but the topic of discussion in the class. Naturally, my thoughts would often turn to the central figure in the room, Mr. Orleans himself, and, since I have come into personal contact with him for two years, and, have had time to observe and comment Cstrictly in my thoughtsj upon his abilities and traits, I have resolved to write this article. I have very little to say about Mr. Orleans as a teacher of facts and details. Suffice it to say, that during the two years I spent in his classes, I have learnt to say, I should appreciate instead of, I would appreciate . CA great accomplishment, considering the influence of a little seat in the rear .l However, T. A. students will long remember him for his S. P. C.'s Isubiect, predicate, and , the blank being a result of my not having Mr. Orleans for the past half yearl his ceaseless proiects , and his illustrative diagrams, which resemble anything, but the subject under discussion. The little red notations that he is in the habit of sprinkling generously over T. A. students' compositions, have always been a constant source of wonder to me, since l have never, as yet, succeeded in deciphering one of them. Mr. Orleans can go into the most unique contortions, trying to act Hamlet or Macbeth, while his skullcap, Ipoor little thing to be treated so outrageouslyj often bites the dust. I will never forget his favorite pose, one foot on his chair, the other dangling below, as he enters into the amusing pastime of confusing any poor student who attempts to argue with him. Forty Seven ' Forgive me, dear reader, if I have wandered from my main subiect, for the men- tion of Mr. Orleans always evokes these pleasant and unforgettable memories of the man, whose friendship I shall always cherish. However, it is not Mr. Orleans the teacher, whom I wish to pay tribute to, but rather, Mr. Orleans, the friend and guide of the students. Perhaps you have already guessed that Mr. Orleans is our English teacher. This fact is of utmost importance, since Mr. Orleans' best talents would undoubtedly be wasted in any other but this field of teaching. The English teacher has the most difficult iob in the educational field, for, in addition to imparting knowlege to his students, he must be able to analyze their personalities, to make them conscious of their good and bad traits and to encourage them in their activities, in short, to set them on their way to a successful career in life. In view of Mr. Orleans' extensive experience in this field, it is no wonder that he has been chosen to serve as teacher of the Senior Class for many years. There can be no finer tribute to any teacher than the record he has left behind him, not in the office files, but in the hearts of his students. I am sure that there has not been one Senior in T. A. that has not had the profoundest respect and admiration for Mr. Orleans. Of course, most of them have never shown this outwardly, nevertheless, it is in their hearts, this finest tribute to a fine man. There are reasons for this, lust as there are reasons for every thing. Mr. Orleans has served capably, whenever called upon, as a friend and advisor of the students. There are very few student activities which he has not yet aided. I can say for him, that, never, when he was asked to direct Debating Societies, or Journalism Clubs, or to correct articles for our School Newspaper or Magazine, has Mr. Orleans refused to do his part, although on many such occasions he was pressed for time, had had a hard day, or was not feeling well. One might enter Room 212 at seven-thirty at night and still find him there, coaching the Debating Team for an important debate the next day. Mr. Orleans, in addition to participating himself, has always encouraged his students to participate in extra-curricular activities. He has constantly stood up for the students, and has more than once, given kind and friendly advice to G. O. oliicers. T. A. students will never forget Mr. Orleans. He has a permanent place in our minds and hearts. I believe that the following statement is representative of the feel- ing of all T. A. students. ln recognition of your more than ten years' service to our school, even more so, to us its students, Mr. Orleans . . . we salute you! i943 Forty Eight me ar ana! mggioufi glclucafion By l.. BERNSTEIN The indifference of the American Jew to the plight of his European brethren has been attributed to the lack of a religious education. After the war the Jewish nation will be confronted with many serious problems. If and when we receive control over Palestine, shall we introduce a system of compulsory religious education? Will we foster a policy of separation of church from state? In more general terms, is Judaism to represent both a religion and a nation, or is it to be considered primarily a nation and secondarily a religion? This problem leads to disunion among the various Zionistic organizations. lt has played a leading role in why we have been unable to make unified and successful demands on Britain. These problems which are closely related, must be solved im- mediately. We must be ci united notion when we present our claims at the peace table. ln general, there are two distinct Zionist points of view on religion and religious education, those who favor it and those who object to it. The obiectors claim that in a democracy the citizen must have the final say as to whether he, as an individual, should have a religious education. On the surface, this seems to be a fair and iust argument. lt is also, in all probability, the strongest argu- ment that can be presented by those who oppose a compulsory religious education. The right of autonomy should be guaranteed to every resident of the country and in respect to all non-Jews. Naturally, such an obligation would not be imposed upon them. It would be quite silly to do so. But to the Jew living in his own land, a religious edu- cation becomes imperative. Religion and nationalism go hand in hand with the Jew- Youth must be educated to love Palestine. No other religion has a land to desire for its own. It is not mandatory for a Christian to love a country for religious purposes. He feels no special yearning to live in the Vatican or Bethlehem. lt is the orthodox Jew's burning passion to be buried in Palestinian soil. Other creeds may have shrines or holy cities, but not one creed requires that the people live together in one country. Before reiecting his religion, the youth must be given a chance to become familiar with it. He should know why the Jews have reiected other homelands and with tenacious insistence have continuously demanded Palestine. He should be acquainted with its folklore, customs, and heritages before renouncing them. Perhaps, if the extreme na- tionalist would realize the advantage that the Jewish religious education presented to youth, they would not be so hasty in condemning it. The system that to me seems to be the most logical and most democratic is that of a compulsory, elementary education, comparable to one of our modern Yeshivahs. When the student is to enter high school, after eight or nine years of close contact with a religious education, he should then be given the opportunity to resume his religious education or to discontinue them. His secular studies should be conducted in an orthodox atmosphere, as those of some of the modern Hebrew Parochial schools in the United States. Forty Nine The material advantages of a religious education are numerous and important. A religious education will make the youth a better citizen of the world and a better Jew. The Hebrew conception of the fundamental theme of the Old Testament, is the golden rule . The sage Hillel, when asked to state the fundamental principle of the Torah in one sentence, replied, The Torah breeds peace and describes an era of pros- perity! as one in which 'Each one is under his vine, and each one under his fig tree' Even in the war, the Jew is warned never to attack before demanding a surrender. He is strictly admonished to adhere to peace terms if the city is willing to come to terms. There are specific laws forbidding usury and the acceptance of interest. The Torah has been very accurately described as the constitution of every Jew. Youth should be made fully acquainted with it before reiecting it completely. The youth bred in the proper orthodox atmosphere is a better Zionist. The relig- ious attachment is what makes the Jew insist on no subsitute for Palestine. The theme employed by the Jewish National Fund is taken from Leviticus, 'TWS5 UDB NTSB The Jewish religion cannot be fully practised unless the nation is rehabilitated in Palestine. The Jew realizes that there are commandments which cannot be fulfilled because these statutes are dependent on the land PTSD i i1'75Di I'171ETJ The agrarian laws concerning the Sabbatical Year and the year of Jubilee depend on the land. Even the opponents of religious education in Palestine will readily admit that Hebrew will be the universal language in Palestine. They cannot deny that Jewish Youth be taught Hebrew history- The 'i J is our best source of ancient Hebrew history. The 'IWTDTD is one of our most dependable sources on the destruction of the second temple and the life of the people in those times. One cannot fully comprehend Hebrew history without a complete mastery of the Bible. The prophets are the text of the destruction of our first temple, and one must familiarize himself with the later ones to realize from where the Jew derived the inspiration to return to his own land and to reestablish himself . From these texts, one discovers why Jews did not become discouraged and assimilated, as did many other nations. The moral of their teachings still is true today. The Bible and the Talmud have an historical appeal to the scholar, even if not from a religious point of view. The religious works are full of Jewish folklore and of the Jewish philosophy of life. The Talmud in PEW: relates the lengends which were supposed to have caused the downfall of Jerusalem. PTFTIJD contains stories of the advent of the Messiah and the reawakening of the clead. Throughout the Talmud one may find stories of the siege of Jerusalem- lt tells of heated debates between our sages and Greek and Roman philosophers. These have all become part of our culture, which distinguishes us from the rest of the world. Yet in this same text, we have the first complete set of written laws. We have the law of maiority rule, the essence of democracy, set forth. Surely such a rich cul- tural source cannot be disregarded. Since these texts are familiar, we cannot fully appreciate their value. lf we were to tear ourselves from it, for a period of one year, we should recognize our universal need for it, and should appreciate it more fully. Fifty Practically all the grammatical rules of our Hebrew language originate in the Bible. One cannot fully realize the works of the Hebrew writers without being familiar with our customs, our laws, our history, and our Bible. Such a rule may be applied to literature and culture of every other nation- Bialek wrote UNH 1'W'JT2 a story about the era directly after the destruction of the second temple. Can we fully appreciate his flaming enthusiasm in his l'ty'l'? T353 DS t.?'Fl without knowing for what these Jewish martyrs had sacrificed themselves? Can one understand the steady devotion of the person, living in a world of torture, to a worn, yellow page of the Talmud? To understand such works, one must know the Bible from an orthodox point of view. Some lines are direct quotations from Biblical sources. In order to further the study of our liter- ature, we must first have our youth learn the sources from which it is derived. Taking all such points of view into consideration, one begins to realize the dire need for a religious education. The question usually asked now, if anti-semitism is incurable, can be answered in the affirmative by giving our youth a religious education. In order to insure peace and patriotism, we must learn to love our religious heritage. We must do all we can to broaden our culture, which guards us from assimilation. By train- ing youth in an atmosphere of our liberal Torah, the Jewish nation can survive as a free one, subiugated by no one. Palestine cannot survive, unless its youth is trained in the heritages of its ancestors. The Jewish nation survives because of its youth. Youth must be trained to preserve the Jewish nation.

Fifty One my girfif gxperimenf by sEYMouR corners: At last, Friday rolled around, Friday, the day I would be able to perform, for myself, my first experiment. Previously in the week Mr. Lebowitz, our Chemistry teacher, had shown us one of the fundamental experiments, that of sodium in water. Without inquiring as to par- ticulars such as condition and amount, I firmly decided to do that experiment on my big brother's chemistry set. Bright and early one Friday morning, I proceeded into my private laboratory - the cellar, and after a little search, found the bottle containing sodium which through my ignorance was not immersed in kerosene as it should have been. For those who are unacquainted with chemistry, sodium is one of the most active metals found. Through this activity it breaks away the H2 from water QHZOQ ,At the touch of water a reaction is instantly caused. It is therefore necessary to keep sodium immersed in kerosene to prevent the moisture of the air from contacting the sodium. I didn't know that, then, and therefore I had neglected to immerse the sodium in kerosene. Luckily there was none, or very little moisture in the cellar, for if there had been - well, Iet's not talk about the possibilities. I then continued with my scientific research. With a pair of tweezers I broke off a fairly large piece of sodium and placed it in an old dish. All ready now except for the water. I was too lazy to go upstairs for some cold water, so I had to be content with the scalding water from the boiler. With that water, I filled the dish and was thrilled with anticipation when I dropped the sodium in the water and eagerly awaited the climax. I watched - and watched - and nothing happened. Then tout, ei coup, the sodium started fizzing like a Bromo - at first slowly and steadily, then faster and faster - now at incredible speed. The noise was getting louder - louder until finally it was climaxed by a terrific explosion. The cellar was immediately filled with choking, irritating and biting fumes. I was dazed, the blast had put my right ear out of order temporarily, and I groped my way through the posioning fumes. By a very long stretch of the immagination one could visualize what was once the dish. I hurried upstairs, and washed myself thoroughly. After assuring myself that I was more or less physically present, I went, with my right ear still senseless to sound, to my chemistry book. It was then that I realized that the sodium piece I had used was ten times the size it should have been, its activity had been increased by its exposure to air, hot water speeded up the action tremendously - therefore the explosion. And to think that they trusted me with a Chem. class on Senior Day! Fifty Two Cafazifroyahe in a Woclefaj by JOSEPH MANDELKORN There I am breezing along peacefully in my new twelve-cylinder job with the radio crooning softly and the cool ozone tanning my brow. I am about to slow up to give the little cutie with the nice gams on the corner the eye, when suddenly my peaceful intentions are rudely interrupted and I am hurled up .... up .... up. My noggin meets something which seems to have somewhat of an advantage over it in hardness, and thus brings my Napoleonic rise to a close. I am brought back to earth and reality to fiind myself seated on the not too comfortable seat of the Mandelkorn limousine . The rear end had just hit a bump, and, as my Physics teacher would undoubtedly have remarked on the occasion, To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction . All of which is true and even beautiful when one does not have the unfortunate experience of being on the receiving end of one of these actions and reactions. It was the night before Labor Day, and there we were, my brother and I, alone all all alone on a dark country road heading for our destination over a hundred miles away. Now let it never be said that I object to taking a trip out to the country, but I do strongly advise against making said trip in what passes for the magnificent Mandelkorn automobile. Let me give you but a brief description of this vehicle and you'Il see what I mean. We are proud to say that our car traces its ancestry back to the days of Prohibition, in proof of which, we submit the dark smokescreen it leaves behind when- ever running, a device much in vogue in bootlegging days for protection. We are also proud of the recommendations our car has received from doctors all over the country. Some of their patients, being strongly in need of slimmer waistlines but unable to cut down their appetites, were given one ride in our car and thereafter their appetites ceased to be, a phenomenon accounted for by the special type of spring our car contains, keeping its occupants constantly oscillating between their seats and the roof. Being such a modernly equipped automobile, it lacks not the latest and best in ventilation - we have recently installed no windows. One may also mention that the horn does you a favor when it finally does blow. The heater shoots cold air at any poor sucker tempted to turn it on. My brother is a considerate individual and thus never lets anyone drive our car who doesn't know it has no brakes. Let this suffice. I say no more. My woeful tale will reveal the rest. At ten that Saturday night, we started on the momentous iourney which was to have such a strange ending. In anticipation of the sudden moods of immobility to which our car was subject, we took along enough food to stand a full day seige. Future events were to demonstrate the value of this foresight. After pushing the car halfway around the block, the engine catches and we are off with a roar, leaving the usual smokescreen behind us. We stop for a red light at the next corner and the wise guy in the car parked behind us who is getting the full blast of our exhaust pipe, promptly cracks, Hey! they're burning Kerosene . Fifty Three Unruffled we proceed onward, cross the George Washington, and find ourselves in the Garden State, New Jersey. While we whiz along the highway at twenty-five miles per hour the motorists behind us get sort of impatient and wish to speed up. However going over 25 M. P. H. in a car like ours is suicide, and, since we do not wish to make our friends go to the trouble of buying flowers, we keep chugging along, in consequence of which, we are greeted by a stream of anything but good wishes from the rear. Suddenly I am amazed to hear some semi-pure words being emitted from our dear friends in the rear. Hey! Put your - - - tail-light on! Whom do they think they're kidding anyway? , says I, glancing on the light switch which was on. So we proceed onward, until the cap catches up with us. He runs us into the neighoring ditch. We pile out, and are about to in- troduce him to some of the iuicy tidbits of language we had picked up on the way, when by chance I glance at our taillight. Sure enough, it had gone on the bum. While my brother is busy explaining, I am busy fastening a flashlight to the tail-light. In a few minutes, we are off and so is the cop minus the ticket he so graciously be- stowed upon us. Have you ever travelled in a rickety Model-T on a dark foggy night miles away from civilization, unable to recognize where you are or where you're going? Well, I can certainly say it was a thrill, that is until the catastrophe. We are proceeding thus peacefully, when suddenly we hear a loud bang. For a second, my heart is in my mouth, but then thinks I, What crazy fool is firing guns at this hour of the night? A second later, as the car heads for the nearest ditch, the horrible truth downs on us. Snapping on the brakes we pile out to view the remains. There it sits contentedly and grinning up at us through a hole as wide as a barn door, the tube of our rear left tire. In describing the elegance of our vehicle of transport I forgot to mention the fact that she has no spare tire and so there we were stranded in No Man's Land. What to do? What to do? 'Twas night, dark and cold, so what else to do but hit the hay. However a certain empty feeling in our breadbaskets reminded us that it would be softer to sleep on full stomachs. Digging up our supplies, we had a midnight snack and then off to bed. Since there were no windows, we were not cramped for room. We simply lay down, one in the front seat, the other in the back, and stretched our feet out the windows. Sleep was slow in coming, but finally exhaustion takes its toll and I found myself back on the corner but unfortunately the little cuties has by this time passed by. We awake to find the morning sun shining through the window. It looks like a beautiful day outside. I step out but immediately beat a hasty retreat. Br-r-r! lt cer- tainly is cold. I forget for a moment how cruel lite can be, ond turn on the heater. This serves its purpose anyway, for the cursing I do when the -thing starts blowing cold air, results in my getting warmed up anyway. We are stranded, with our only hope - a passing motorist who will be so kind as to help two poor boys lin this ex- tremity we wished that we had the added attraction of o girl or twol hitch back to the city. In this situation, my many years of Yeshiva training stood me in good stead and the thumb manipulation I put on, was never excelled in the annals of Talmud class. All, however, to no avail- Morning turns to noon and noon to twilight. My thumb is now in no condition for debate. Finally along comes salvation in the form of a towing car. I'Il tow you to the nearest garage for ten bucks! 'Brotherl For ten bucks she's yoursl' The ten semoleans were lust enough for our carfare home by rail. Fifty Four yaido e in Cyzina BY MAX RAAB Sing Tan! Sing Tan! , The urgent tone in his friend's voice roused him from the first good sleep he had had in weeks. ln the distance, he could hear the monotonus rumble of the guns which was the soldier's breakfast, lunch and dinner conversation. Even in his sleep the shaking of the ground often made him dream that the earth was opening beneath him and swallowing him alive. Vainly trying to keep his teeth from chattering with the cold, he rose to a reclin- ing position, supporting himself on his elbow. The light in Sao How's hand made him blink, and he instinctively raised his free hand to shield his eyes. Sing Tan! Quick, get up! We're retreating. They surprised us with an attack, and we're falling back a few miles. Quick, they'll soon be here! With the instinct born of danger, he rose, strapped his knapsack on his shoulders, and left the tent. Figures scurried to and fro in the darkness, and it was some time before a semblance of order was restored. They began to march, tired but orderly their backs to the common foe. Once their new positions were reached, the men sat and listened. All eyes strained in the direction of the enemy, but the moon was hidden behind a thick canopy of clouds, and the surrounding area was in solid darkness. Sing Tan, inhaling deeply the refreshing night air, suddenly felt a pang of remorse, remembering, that in the excitement of the retreat, he had not realized that they were leaving unprotected the village where his sister, Sing San, was staying. Her husband, fighting further north had left no one to see to her safety, and Sing Tan had sworn himself to the task. Bitterly, he ran his fingers over the scar on his cheek, a memento of the wound he had received months ago. It was a conspicuous, disfiguring scar, rough and uncom- fortable to the touch. Some of the younger men shuddered at the sight of it. The scar on Sing Tan's face was an unofficial banner, a reminder to shirkers. Standing there in the darkness, he felt the familiar blind surge of hatred lor the enemy whom he despised with every drop of blood in his body. ln their mad invasion of a peaceful people they had trampled and destroyed everything in their path. The war was no longer confined to the battlefield, instead, old, harmless villa- gers, women and children suffered under a sadistic yoke. But what could he do? Fifty PWC Slowly, thoughtfully, he took a long drink letting the cold water trickle down the road. There isn't much more time to decide, he thought. Day was still many hours off, but should the moon come out, he would be helpless. With final decision, Sing Tan sought out his close friend, Sao How, and disclosed to him his plan. As he concluded, Sao How, exclaimed: 'N But, it's . . . impossible. Even if you do reach Sing San, how would you return with her? Two can not pass as easily as one. We'll see. l am going iust the same, replied Sing Tan impatiently. Sao How knew better than to remonstrate further. From chiidhood on, Sing Tan had been a determined and ambitious youth whose obstinacy could be held in check only by his own good iudgement. p l am going, he repeated quietly, knowing he had won. Then, seeing the look on Sao How's face, he added, alone. Sing Tan knew the marshes were infested with snipers, some friendly, many of the enemy. Every tree might conceal a swift unseen messenger of death-that was the method of picking off isolated men. Sing Tan well knew that their death stroke was instant and sure, and that he should have no warning when he would be attacked. his mind, however, he carried his rifle loaded and ready to fire. Plodding through the marshes through the deep, black mud and mire, his thoughts raced feverishly. lt was a long time since he had seen Lin Saw. Leaving the front line was to him cowardly, returning to a captured village was hurling defiance at the oppressor. He recalled that his niece was already fourteen, he wondered vaguely how she, or anybody else could live under the yoke of barbarians. Smiling grimly, he remembered the time she had fallen and received a gaping gash on her forehead. She had merely pressed a rag on the wound until the bleeding had stopped. His foot descended on a submerged rock, and he almost lost his balance. All around him, the dark forms of trees formed a silent audience to his painful progress. He could not hurry, since both danger and darkness inspired caution. The slightest noise was enough to make him stop and crouch in the undergrowth, listen- ing. Now a branch swayed in the wind, a frog crooked, or a stone was set rolling by his foot. Each time, he stopped, all his senses on the alert. His tired limbs ached with the cold and darkness, and he frequently had to summon all his self-control to keep from sneezing. His eyes watered, making a hazy blackness of everything around him. His misstep on the rock had iniured his ankle, and the pain now added to his misery. Once, as he was nearing a small clearing, he saw a light which flared, steodied, and went out like a match. Instantly he stopped and crouched breathlessly behind a tree. He might have been in that crouching position for hours-he had no idea of time. The mysterious noises of the marshes, the frogs, the wind in the trees, all joined in a symphonic accompaniment of his strange march. Finally, his limbs almost frozen stiff, he carefully rose and continued on his way. . Fifty Six As the moon came out of hiding, he quiet unexpectedly found himself on a small hill. In the distance, he saw the dim forms of huts: his sister's village. Relieved, ioyful, he began the descent. When Sing Tan left him, Sao How followed him in his thoughts. His reverie was interrupted, however, when he was ordered to serve as an advance guard for a counter- attack. Apparently, the Chinese commander had hopes of recapturing the village before the Japanese had time to consolidate their gains. Consequently, he and five others set out on different trails. To prevent an alarm from being raised, they were to kill all enemy sentinels. With the stealth and speed of a trained jungle fighter, Sao How made his way through the marshes. Although the swamps, he knew, were crawling with snipers, they were too far from their base to warn the main force of an advance. Therefore, ignoring the danger of being detected, he made his way to the outskirts of the village, where, he felt, he would find enough sentine's. As the moon emerged, he came out of the marshes, about a hundred feet from a small hill. Visibility was poor, but he could distinguish the blurred forms of trees and bushes at its foot. His eyes and ears strained to catch the slightest audible sound, he crept toward the bottom of the hill. He had only taken a few steps when he halted suddenly. Something in the trees had moved. He fell on his stomach and raised his rifle to his shoulder, The figure moved again, making its way quietly through the trees. As the dark form turned his back to him, Sao How lowered his head and took careful aim. Then he changed his mind: a shot would warn the enemy. Deciding upon a new strategy, he took into his hand, the long, thin knife he always carried and tested its sharp blade on a piece of wood. Gripping the weapon in his teeth, he slid silently forward like a panther after its prey, until he was within a few feet of the figure. As the man passed him, he sprang swiftly and pulled the marauder to the ground. Sao How, in the jungle manner he had practiced in his youth, managed to put one arm around his opponents neck. To prevent the outcry that he felt might come, he changed his hold and clamped his hand over the man's mouth. Now was the moment. Slowly and with the auomatism of long practice, he was about to drive the knife into the man's back. The coarse unevenness of the flesh shocked him in the remembrance of the scarred face he knew so well. Then, in a flood of horror, as the knife was about to enter the flesh his body turned to stone, and the knife fell from his trembling fingers. He almost lost conscious- ness as the blood rushed from his head and the muscles of his body grew taut. ln a harsh whisper which took every ounce of strength left in him, he breathed: Sing Tan! The accident detained Sing Tan momentarily. He made his way into the village and found his sisters safe. Together they returned to the Chinese camp iust as the counterattack began. Fiffv Seven lfi6l0el'l1f8 by PHILIP STRASSBERG Hurriedly he disposed of the papers on his desk. Hastily glancing at the clock, he signed a few bills and dispatched them to his secretary. Rummaging through his pockets quickly, he found what he was after. Another glance at the clock told him it was getting late. He brushed by his desk and took his hat from the rack. He made a mad dash to get the elevator before it went down. He made it! That saved precious seconds, and a split second meant life or death. Out on the street, he had a hard time getting through the midday crowd. The subway loomed in front of him at last. He leaped down the stairs, four steps at a time. He dropped a nickel in the slot. When will that train come, he thought. The seconds seemed like minutes to him. Good Heavens! If he were to come late it would be catastrophiccil. His keen sensitive ears heard the train's rumble at a distance. Finally, the train came into the station. He went in and sat down. His watch showed that it was 2:40. The train started again. By the time the train pulled into the next station, he was sweating bullets. What if he wouldn't get there in time? Ah! The train was coming into his station at long last. He bounded out, ran through the throng, and out into the sunshine again. He ran across the street and confronted a large crowd. He didn't mind the crowd. They were there probably for the same reason that he was. It meant an awful lot to them too, he guessed. He found himself in a line. After a few minutes which seemed like an eternity, he took some- thing out of his pocket. With all the reverence that goes with it, he was let through. Ah! At last part of his mission was completed, he was nearly inside. He walked up a flight of stairs, proudly. He looked straight ahead of him, and then all around him. He looked at the wall. He had just made it! All of a sudden, a yell went up! It was the first pitch, and the Opening Day crowd at the Stadium were whoop- ing it up. He sat back and mapped his sweaty brow. It was a moral victory for him. It was the first Opening Day in fifteen years that he had come on time! jarck arclc arclr by MARTIN LIEBER March! March! March! Hear those tramping boots resound, Hear those mighty cannons pound, On and on through history. Above the noise that shakes the ground Can be heard the bugle's sound Through nights so full of mystery. Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! We've got a war to win, you see Our cause is right, we'll win our fight. We want to live in a land that's free, With laughter, joy and security. To say what we like, pray as we like To live in peace and liberty. March! March! March! Some day those guns will cease to roar And we'll live without the fear of war, No man will need from his home flee. Some day those feet will come to rest, In a peaceful world forever blest. When we'll have won our victory. Fifty Eight AC'l'IVlTl EMANUEL GREENWALD Editor SAM OKUN Managing Editor LOUIS BERNSTEIN Literary Editor.

Under the able leaderhip of a sincere and industrious president, Sam Okun, T.A., has seen the revitalization of many defunct organi- zations and has instituted many new organizations with very promising futures. The Debating Society had an unprecedented pick- up in attendance through the efforts of Charles Siegel, its chairman. Numerous debates were held throughout the term, foremost of which was the one with a team- from Camden, New Jersey, which cul- minated in a T. A. victory. Alex Soled completed a very interesting intra- mural debating schedule this term. School champs is the second term class. The intra-mural chess schedule was completed very successfully, because of the efficiency of Shlomo Margolis, intra-mural chess chairman. Third term copped the championship by defeating every other team. The War Efforts Committee, organized by Philip Book, was an innovation in T. A. Our school col- lected the aggregate sum of over 53,000 for various campaigns such as Red Cross, Bonds and Stamps, Russian War Relief, etc. All these campaigns were under the auspices of this committee. The War Ef- forts Committee was also responsible for the numer- ous patriotic posters placed throughout the school. The Concert Bureau experienced a highly success- ful term under the guidance of Samuel Sklar. Tickets were procured for many of New York's leading broadcasts and were distributed in coniunction with the War Efforts Committee. Undoubtedly the highlight of the term was the excellent class-nite production put on by the students of T. A. An excellent three hour show was pre- pared by Seymour Cohen, class-nite chairman, and a very enioyable evening was had by all who at- tended. The Discipline Squad functioned smoothly under the leadership of Jack Perlmutter and his assistant, Larry Bernard. Proper decorum was maintained in the halls at all times and the assemblies had a high rate of attendance because of the efficiency of the squad. lntra-mural and intra-scholastic sports flourished smoothly under Morris Kramer, Athletic Manager The eighth term copped the intra-mural basketball championship. In addition to these maior functions carried through successfully, there were many incidental innovations which helped make life in T. A. pleasant during the past term. Something novel was the Daily Bulletin insti- tuted by Martin Lieber which was faithfully posted every day. This one page daily communique kept the student body informed of the latest goings on in T. A. with a bit of humor inserted to keep the bulletin lively. lt is to be hoped that this bulletin, which was enioyed greatly by the student body, will continue to function in future terms. A G. O. Reductions Committee was organized by an up and coming freshman, Max Frankel. Various reductions were obtained through his efforts, and the way was paved for the issuance of a G. O. reductions booklet next term. T. A. has had a term with efficiency plus as its motto, a term which will be remembered for years to come by its students, as one which highlighted efficient administration and successful conclusion of all undertakings. Sixty Three Cfadd Wgfrf On May 23, more than four hundred people saw T. A. present its annual Class Night and Varsity Show. This presentation has definitely established Class Night as an outstanding extra-curricular activity. Seymour Cohen, this term's Class Night man- ager, in addition to doing his bit as an actor, deserves praise for his splendid work in organizing the show and securing directors. Everybody 'present had an enioyable evening. This night will especially linger in the memory of the participants. The show opened with a rendition of the national anthem. Seymour Cohen, as Master of Ceremonies, went through a comedy routine with his wise-cracking partner, Mandel Fisch. The Choir then sang its first selection. Directed by Leon Mirsky, it did a fine job throughout the performance. One of its members, Singer, sang the solo of My Hero from the Chocolate Soldier. The Choir also participated in a salute to the Armed Forces. Morris Kramer gave his version of a French professor and Mr. Lichtenberg made an appeal for War Bonds, which netted 5350. The first play to be presented was Cross Examination , directed by Harold Miller, a comedy about a student who returns to his alma mater eighteen years after graduation, demanding the return of his tuition. He claims he has been a failure in life, and is therefore entitled to a reimbursement. In an examination that follows, Mr. Waterhead, the student, deliberately answers even the simplest questions incor- rectly, in order to prove his complete failure. The teachers then take his absurd answers and in some mysterious way prove them correct. The audience was surprised when the Math professor claims Mr. Waterhead erred on the first part of a Math problem, but this same Math professor later saves the day, when he shows that the student's calculations on the tuition due, which turned out to be the second part of the problem, are correct. The audience really enjoyed this uproariously funny play. Credit should be given to Martin Lieber for his wonderful portrayal of the principal and also to Solomon Paupko, Jacob Blatt and to Joseph Appleman for their magnificent acting. The Senior play, which was directed by Nathan Rosenbaum of Yeshiva College, took place in a Bowery hotel, and was called Hotel Raleigh . The residents of this flophouse came from different strata. One was a religious hill-billy from Arkansasp another, a socialistic ship's cook. A dying bum, stricken with ptomaine poisoning, and a sympathetic hotel manager whose patience is almost exhausted, helped create atmosphere. The other residents of the room were a drunk, a Polish miner, a pedler of cheap novelties, a petty thief, and a close friend of the stricken person. The play tried to show the difference between the religious hill-billy, who trusted in G-d for a iob, and the ship's cook, who believed in organization. The audience enioyed this melodrama, and rewarded it with resounding applause throughout the performance. The characters Cin order of appearancei were E. Wolfe, D. Younger, M. Kramer, L. Bernstein, l. Wiesel, P. Strassberg, M. Fisch, N. Segelstein S. Cohen, M.

A., while visiting the school, when shown the library, couldn't imagine how, in the short length of time that it has existed, it has been able to make such progress. One thousand seven hundred books on many varied subiects lay on the shelves. History, English, Grammar and Literature, Phi'ologoy, Psychology, and many Fiction and Biographic books were among these. Many of the books were rebound to facilitate their usage for many more years. The books were arranged very neatly and syste- matically under their proper Dewey decimal numbers. Dr. Beniamin D. Shapiro, the founder of the library, who still heads it, has organized a well trained staff. This stafl has much knowledge of everything from library cour- tesy to helping a student in his research work. Some of them have been trained to do the specialized and highly arduous work of cataloging books. The T. A. library, through the untiring efforts of Dr. Shapiro, has been well equipped with stationery, filing cards, desks, a typewriter, a mimeograph machine and fluorescent lighting. This library contains eight books per student. The stat? is now working on a special reference section, to be composed of the latest books and pamphlets. This will greatly aid our students. The reference section is rapidly becoming a reality under the guidance of Mr. Orleans of the English Dept. We hope that Dr. Shapiro continues his good work so that we may have a bigger and better library in the years to come. C l THE LIBRARY STAFF I i Sixty Six X I I ji. 'lflfa cffk f ommiffee . - . This great country of ours is waging a deadly war to give this counrty and many others the right to govern themselves. We are fighting an infamous enemy to free ourselves from the binding fear of aggression. lt is a well-known fact that the purchasing of War Bonds is a very important factor in the winning of the war, for it helps buy the planes, tanks, and guns that will speed us on the road to victory. We cannot be obliged to those who purchase bonds because not only a monetary profit is gained, but it is also the patriotic duty of all Americans to support their government, if a person is incapable of aiding physically our government, by bearing arms, he should help it financially. We must be thankful to those people who are devoting their time and energy to convey the idea to organize a system for the purchase of bonds and stamps. The rest of us must buy - and buy - now. The student body of Talmudical Academy has responded splendidly to this call to help in the winning of the war because of the tireless labor of the War Effort Committee. Philip Book and his very able assistant, Bernard Meth, have organized this excellent group to attack the problem of making clear the necessity of procur- ing bonds and stamps and of selling them to the students. Among their co-workers are Samuel Korn, who draws many of the colorful posters seen on the bulletin boards, and Jack Perlmutter, who devoted his time to publicize the importance of buying war bonds. This committee, including class treasurers and assistants, under the leadership of Philip Book, who has done a truly magnificent iob of organization, has inspired the students of T. A. to purchase over 53,000.00 worth of bonds and stamps. The scope of their work not only includes the sale of war bonds and stamps, which in itself is a tremendous undertaking, but also the collection of money for the Red Cross, enrollment of Red Cross members, collection of books for the U. S. O., and the receiving of donations of money and clothing for the Russian War Relief. Proof of the abilities of this committee and its chairman is made aware by their success in all their undertakings. Verbal thanks will not satisfy them. Our gratitude to them must be expressed in our co-operation with them and in our attempts to make certain that all their ventures will be successful. Sixty Seven 0llCE?li gllfgllll Radio City Broadway and F t , or y-second Street, bristled with T.A students this year as they attended leadin rad' b g no roadcasts and plays with tickets obtained f h rom t e Concert Bureau. K ln September 1942 Ema l , , nue Holzer, manager, and Martin Lieber, associate manager, reorganized the Concert Bureau and developed a permanent system whereby a continuous flow of tickets for top notch programs was assured. In February, 1943, Samuel Sklar succeeded them as Manager and raised the Concert Bureau to loftier heights. The Concert Bureau stimulated the sales of Bonds by offering free tickets to the purchasers of War Bonds. O C I J lffClI0 U18 651461 This year brought a revolutionary idea into the halls of T. A. Our gallant Cap- tain, Sol Shoulson, from Philly, introduced the whistle patent which was later perfected by his untiring successor, Captain Jack Perlmutter, since the former took over T. A.'s treasury. lt was developed to such an extent that the greatest efficiency has been reached. The squad also used its rightful power to see that the halls and rooms of T. A. looked respectable as far as cleanliness goes and thus was surnamed the sanitation department of T. A. with several special members to operate as the secret eyes and ears of T. A. We all think T. A. should be proud of its army which has set an example for all future squads.

L- Z . ..!4C6l6J6l'l'lg QLU5 Arising in revolt against the inefficient handling of the Academy News in the last few terms, T. A. students with Mr. Orleans' guidance solved their problem quickly and easily. A thorough analysis of the problem resulted in the conclusion that the inefticiency was due to a lack of cooperation. To remedy that, Mr. Orleans volun- teered to direct a Journalism Club. The club meets after school hours so only those who are interested and willing to work will attend. lt has thus attracted the attention and has gained the coopera- tion of the lower termers. Adhering to the motto, Action speaks louder than words- , the Academy News was placed in their hands and their good work has already been seen. Under Mr. Orleans' direction the new Academy News is beginning to please the students. The last two issues had not only come out on time, but were also marked improvements on the previous ones. In recognition of this, the Student Council voted that candidates for Elchanite Editor and Academy News Editor be selected from the ranks of the Journalism Club. Some of the most outstanding are A. Weiss, M. Raab, C. Margolis, L. Bernard and T. Kallner. We can now expect great things from the reborn Academy News under the leader- ship of Mr. Orleans and the Journalism Club. ledafing ociefg Originally the creation of David Younger and fostered by Mr. Orleans, it has now been given over to Charles Siegal with the able guidance of Mr. Lichtenberg. No school activity has been so popular that a term after its inception it has been able to boast of three times its original membership. Much credit is due Mr. Siegal for making the Debating Society popular. Many students for the first time are re- ceiving the full benefit ot speaking in public. Our school Debating team was selected from the Society and is grateful to them tor the constructive criticism afforded them which consequently aided them in the winning of the many debates they won. The most noted of these was the Camden Debate and the moral victory attained when we ranked with the leaders in the Queens College Debate. Indeed, the Debating Society is worth the time and effort expended for it. Scven tv Ono we jam By MANAGER KRAMER This year, our basketball team, under the able supervision of Mr. Blau who succeeded Mr. Hyman Wettsein now serving his country in the U. S. Navy, did better than their record indicates, by emerging victorious in nine out of their fourteen en- counters. The Talmudical Academy hoopsters, though usually slow starters, began the season in a brilliant manner by nosing out the Chelsea Vocational High School team by the score of 27 to T5. Fat Friedman was high scorer for the T. A. quintet with nine markers. After a few minor clashes including victories over the Brooklyn College Junior Varsity team and a win over the Drake high school team, the T. A. aggregation lost a close, spine-tingling thriller by the score of 55 to 38. Trailing all through the first half by five points because the Christopher Columbus team dominated the backboard, the T. A. quintet tried and fought desperately, but were finally overwhelmed when the Columbus coach threw in all his reserve strength. The last game of the season with Cathedral was another hair-raising affair. This time the Talmudical Academy boys nosed out their divinity opponents by the count of 33 to 26. After trailing throughout the game, the blue-and-white quintet put on a last desperate splurge and with the help of Fat Friedman's remarkable set shooting and Marv Fredman's beautiful pivot shots stole the game right out of the fire. Though the team did have their bad moments, they played mostly heads-up ball, and through Captain Laser's abundant fighting spirit and Lanky Fredman's accurate range finding the T. A. hoopsters brought credit to their Alma Mater in every encounter. Some credit should also be given to Messrs. Lassner and Kramer who worked very hard while woking out a good schedule for the team.
