The sun beams with pleasure on the grace- ful towers and minarets of our new schoolg the Flags flutter merilly in the breezeg the windows and doors emit studious voices raised in disser- tations on the Talmud. IYe are stunned by the huge magnificence of the building. The tall and imposing doors, the wide. deep-set windows, the many colored stones, the green towers of aged copper and the impressive Byzantinearchi- tecture prove too much for us. We gasp and decide to go across the street to drown our sor- rows and apprehensions in drink. NYe sec a wide windowed candy Store with a sign reading College I-uncheonette. Bly are we dumbf XYe don't even know that this is the world- famous Harry's. Over deep glasses of maltcds we nod encouragement to each other. I.'Chay- im . . . I.'Yankel. too. . . . Looking at the clock, we notice it's time to go to class. The first class in T..-X.! Imagine our excitement. IYe scramble out in such a hurry, we almost forgot to pay our check. In fact, we dont pay it . . . Oh, well. we'll pay double next time . . . Back in TA.. we bashfully ask a fellow with a funny blue and white hat how to get to the second floor. He rcgretfully informs us that the elevator isn't working and we'll have to take the escalator instead. He shows us to the esca- lator. and we try for twenty minutes to make QKCLFLCQ 'vvwxlnn-hu the stairs move. Must be a mechanical defect that keeps them from working. Somebody better tell X.B..X. to fix it . . . N.B..fX., we think . . . Sounds good and homey. Not as stiff as Nor- man B. Abrams, registrar. Gleefully we con- clude that we are beginning to feel at home in our new school. Nice feeling . . . Sooner or later we all arrive at our Iinglish class . . . some of us sooner but most of us later. XYe look up and find a moustache floating sir: feet in the air, topped by a greased yarmi1ka which evidently prefers the hard floor to its owner's cranium. The moustache becomes agi- tated and shakes with emotion as the lanky in- structor stoops low and with warning finger says. My name is Isaac Orleans, not New Orleans. The tiny white Delaney cards he tells us to till out strike us as very funny. XVe are told that we may now consider ourselves char- ter members of the S.P.C.S.-the Society for I'revention of Cruelty to Sentences.Too busy to listen. Leo Fisher concentrates his attention on little Ikey. the pet mouse. as it scampers around the room, Mr. Orleans brings him to order by aiming a piece of chalk straight at his startled ear . . . XYe elect class officers. Komsky, Lif- shitz. Diller and Greenwald are victors for I'resident. Yice President, Secretary and treas- urer, respectively. Someone tells Mr. Orleans that the XY.P..'X. is going out of existence. He straightaway makes the federal works over into class room projects. XYe are given a wide choice as to what we want to study as our term project.
