Your teachers at the Yeshiva and Talmudical Academy have intellectually and spiritually enriched your lives. You should always look upon your High School training as a foundation upon which you should continue to build a strong structure. In your continuous clevel- opment and devotion to the tenets of our Torah you will find the necessary inspira- tion for a good life. I am confident that you will continue to carry the torch of divine wisdom and human knowledge in your future careers. Wfishiug you well-being and well-doing. I remain Sincerely yours, SAMUEL BELKIN President A Message to the Gradlmting Class of I 953 from DR. S. R. S.-XPIIIRIC Principal. 'l'almudical .Xcadcmy Dear Graduates: On this joyous occasion in your lives. vvhen you have reached an important milestone in your preparation for the fullness of the days to come, I am happy to greet you and to vvish you vvell. You have completed successfully the s course of studies prescribed in the lfinglish and llcbrevy departments in our lligh School-some vvith distinction-all vvith credit to yourselves. your parents. and to our great institution. During the most formative years of your lives. you have actively participated in the harmonious blending and fusion of levvish lore and secular learning. You have received instruction not only in the subjects contained in the curriculum of the public high schools. such as English. foreign languages. science. mathematics. social studies and the like. but also by preccpt and example. you have learned the message and meaning of our priceless heritage-the concepts. teachings. traditions. and ideals of universal Israel. NYhether you choose as your life's vvork some phase of lminan knovvledgc and dedicate yourselves to study and teaching, or give your energies to the Eelds of daily human needs. or devote yourselves to the realm of the spirit. remember the philos- ophy and the vvay of life that you have been taught here. Although the problems that you. as levvs. must face in this confused vvorld are not alvvays clear. you must. each and all of you, cling to those elements of our cultural past that have made us great as a people. lt is upon these cultural backgrounds vvhich are strongly rooted in our study of the rl'orah. and not false values and strange ideologies. that you must build your personalities and your future lives. You. graduates of 'l'almudical .'Xcademy. have had an education different from that of the rest of the lcvvish youth in this country. You have had an opportunity to learn the value and significance of intense levvish study, and to gain a deeper insight into a truer understanding of the levvish consciousness and soul. XYith this great common bond. you are strengthened to vyithstaud the material intiuences of the time. and are less prone to fall prey to the disintegrating forces vvhich are threatening to svveep avvay everything that is dear and precious in life. Strengthen that bond: united. assert yourselves and your influence in the lives of our youth. so that by your example you may prove that these years in 'l'almudical Academy have not been in vain, and that the instruction and the inspiration you received here shall be a blessing to you and to those vvho are to be indnenced by you. Continue to be one vvith the Yeshiva. to accept and to feel its inHuence. Unite under the banner of the ideals for vvhich your school stands so that its spirit may vviden and deepen a current of faith and culture in .Xincrican levvry. Slll'lLl.,l'iY R. S.Xllllll1l'l Priricifitll Message to the 1953 - Graduating Class from the Registrar Graduation 1953! YVhat thoughts arise on contemplating this vital event in the life of a student! In my association with Yeshiva. there have been many such occasions. Yet each one is a new experience with new feelings, new thoughts. One cannot help comparing world conditions in mid-twentieth century with those of an earlier period, when I was graduated from Talmudical Academy. The present scientific and highly mechanized world, with its tremendously constructive as well as destructive potentialities, has been greatly expanded. while physical dis- tances between nations-nations poles apart-have been vastly contracted. Israel in the Middle East, China in the Far East, the U. S. S. R. in Eastern Europe, have become our veritable next door neighbors. The jet plane and the radio assured this proximity. XVithal, the world has been divided-in less than a decade-into two diametrically opposite ideological camps. with intense. almost mortal strife between them, engulhng all nations, great or small, threatening us with fatal annihilation. XVe Iews, in particular, are in the very midst of this struggle, and, unfortu- nately, in both camps. Diaspora saw to that. Because we are scattered all over the world, in all lands, and because we naturally follow and adhere to the ancient dictum, The Law of the Land is Thy Law. we are ever engaged in tight-brother against brother. The Iew, at best, has found from age-long experience that even in peace, he can survive only in a democratic World where liberty, freedom, and tolerance are the rule. It is regrettable that we, of the present generation, whose formative years were spent in the Post XVorld XVar I Era, have been unable to create a world safe for democracy, a world where nations of ideological differences can live in peace. You. members of the 1953 graduating class, are spending your formative years in Post VVorld Wfar II. In a few brief years, you will be called upon to take over the reins of this unsettled world. You will be called upon to help resolve life-and death problems. It is, therefore. incumbent upon you to make the most of the opportunities offered to you in your collegiate life. so that, with the help of Gd. you will do a better job. You will assist in building a better world for Iews in particular. and humanity in general. Good-luck to you. . NORMAN B. ABRAMS Registrar In llvllivalion For his culiglitcuiiig instruction . . .

With the excellent literary efforts of the stuflentsg RJ X.: L., War by NATHAN SILBERMAN The sky is cold and grey. The land is barren, desolate, and smells of death. Bare trees stand as skeletons, stretching their thin. dead branches toward the sky. The land bears the sign of war and destruction, an abandoned cannon here, a dead soldier there. A graveyard. where once stretching iields of cotton waved in the wind. A lonely shamblcd structure remains as the only monument of a glorious whitc mansion, where gaiety and laughter once rang. A lone vulture silhouetted against the sky circles the remains of a dead soldier, but the air is Hlled with something expectant. Down the narrow road stands a shanty. A tired old colored man and a tired old colored woman are the only living beings in the vicinity. Theres going to be a storm, Sarah. YVilliam likes storms. lt's C-cl sent. Sarah. Cut son will be home soon, Ieremiah. He'll be home to stay. Yes, Sarah. home to stay. Remember the time when he was a boy and you were down with fever, Ieremiah? Our XVilly did your share of the pickin' and his own. Cnly our VVilliam was strong enough to do a thing like that. He is a good son to us, Ieremiah. A good son. 'AHe's a good soldier too. Sarah. He got a medal from General Grant himself. I got everything ready for him. I made his bed and cleaned all his belongings. How long before our VVilliam comes home? f'Not long, Sarah . . . not longf' The old woman rocks slowly in her rocking chair. Each time she does, the chair squeaks softly. She stares at the dim tire burning in the iireplace. The old man stares out the window at the darkening sky and the devastated land. He puffs on an unlighted pipe. The chair continues to squeak. lt's getting cooler. Sarah. Do you want me to get another log for the fire? No. it's all right Ieremiah, I'll just cover up with my shawl. f'XVhat's that? Easy, woman. That was just lightning. C-d's warning that the rain's going to come and wash all the bad away. lt's getting darker, Jeremiah. XVilliam will be coming home soon. Do you think XVilliani will look the same as when he left? Sure, Sarah, nothing can change our boy. Remember how all the white folks used to like him? Yes, it's a long time he's gone . . . a long time. There is silence once more in the little shanty. The woman begins to hum a soft lullaby as she rocks. The old man puffs at his pipe and stares at the horizon. Time seems to have ceased moving .... Listen, Sarah. the old man says softly. it 4. 4- 16 'l'hc old woman stops her rocking and strains her ears. Sounds like a horse and wagon. lereiniahf' I think so. Sarah. They both listen attentiyely at the sound of the elopping hooyes. 'I'he turnf ing of rickety wheels becomes louder. 'ASCC it, Sarah? the old man exelaims. An old horse and wagon eomes up the narrow winding road. 'l'he man and woman eagerly watch the wagon. It stops in front of the shanty. 'l'wo men step down and go to the back of the wagon. They lift a rectangular wooden box and carry it into the shanty. The old INLIUVS faee becomes more creased as he smiles to his wife. The two INCH remount the wagon and begin to ride slowly back down the narrow, winding road. The horses beating hooyes and the sound of the wagon wheels beeome softer and softer as the wagon disappears oyer the horizon. The sky is now dark. Lightning flashes through the heavens, making the entire countryside momentarily visible. The barren trees, the demolished houses and the war-torn fields all seem suddenly to flash up. Inside the old shanty, the old man sits by the window with his pipe: the old woman roeks in her ehair. Our Wlilliam has finally come home.

For. in this day when the United States stands as the strongest bulwark against the forces that would destroy the rights and liberties of individuals. we pay homage to a man eminent in making his country the outstanding protector of the individuals rights. The principles we inherit as a result of Iohn Marshalls decisions are tributes to his sagacity. patriotism. wisdom. and far-sightedness. Imagine the depth of Marshalls foresight. when he established the fact that even elected officials must not be permitted to set aside the basic rights of the individual. Even in that remote day. Marshall instinctively felt that a government unchecked would invariably become oppressive of the individuals who put their faith in it. In the many and complex cases over which Marshall presided and about which he wrote decisions, the integrity of the individual was always upheld. Marshalls genius was such that one hundred and iifty years ago, he prepared us for our world of today-a world in which, as never before. we must guard our precious heritage against ruthless tendencies toward interference with the rights of the individual. His achievements support us in our battle today to resist the unscrupulous forces of Communism. ln his own time and in a prophetic way. Marshall reviled the venomous doctrines which subjugate the individuals to the mastery of the state. More than any other person in American history. Marshall deserves our grati- tude for arming the American people politically for their present battle with the ten- tacles of Communism. He was the patron saint of each individuals privilege to follow his own enterprise in the protective shadow of his constitutional rights. This eternal freedom was established in the case of Marbury vs. Madison. in which it was decided that the Supreme Court has the power of judicial review, which pro- vides a shelter from totalitarianism and scapegoatism. Tyranny cannot, with impugnity. be imposed in a state which recognizes the sovereignty of the individual. Totalitarianism cannot smother a country which is obliged to adhere to contracts. And. in lSl9. in his stirring decision in the case of the state of New Hampshire vs. Dartmouth College, Iohn Marshall ruled that the impairment of an existing contract by a state is forbidden by the Constitution. The spirit of lohn Marshall has guided our Supreme Court since his time. like the pillar of lire that led the Israelites to the Promised Land. The intense nation- alism which he sought to enliven-this inevitably is strengthened by the nurture of a sound individualism. He espoused the glory of our country, but never at the expense of the rights of the individuals who make it up. This is the heritage of Iohn Marshall. that he made our nation great in the salvation and welfare of its individual citizens. Editors Note-This orcztorical essay carried Alf.

The patients had gone to sleep. and only the night nurse remained awake. She sat reading a magazine. The elevator stopped on the seventh floor and a young intern stepped out. He waved his hand at the nurse in a gesture of salutation. but said nothing. He stepped into the corridor to make the final rounds. Room 701-he looked in-all asleep. Room 702-he looked in-all asleep. He started to hum a soft melody. Room 703-all asleep. Room 704-he looked ing there was one bed empty! The young man walked gingerly to the nurses booth. He whispered, VVhat's with 70-1? There's one bed empty. Mrs Harris checked out today. She answered in the same low tones. The intern nodded and went into the corridor to finish the rounds of the floor. Room 705-okay. He looked into room 706-all were asleep. The intern sighed as he stepped toward 707. the last on the Hoor. He looked in, A bed lamp was still on! The intern walked to the bed and saw that an old woman whom he did not recognize was still awake. 'AGran'ma, why're you still awake? he asked softly. Don't you know that you have to get some sleep? After all how else do you expect to get well? 'AOh! I was just thinking. I suppose that I forgot to shut the lamp, though. The thin. highfpitclied voice echoed softly in his ears. 'ANow you just get to sleep and forget everything, he said. He turned to leave, but she called after him. A'Please don't go just yet. Please sit here a little while. Room 707 was the last of the floor and the young man was in no particular hurry. He smiled and pulled a small chair up to the bed. The old woman lay there quietly, gazing through the window into the calm night. A few minutes passed and she said to him, I suppose you're tired too. You can leave now. He got up. 'AThank you very much, young man, for sitting here. He waved a kiss. turned, and walked out of the room to the elevator. uAny trouble with that old lady in room 707? She just moved in today. Mrs. Green is her name. She asked me to sit with her for a few minutes-couldn't fall asleep. She's all right now. He paused. Well, good night. 'iGoOd night. He stepped into the elevator and went up to finish the hospital rounds. The hospital was quiet. On the seventh Hoor all were asleep. The nurse sat absorbed in her magazine. Both hands of the hall clock pointed straight up. But in room 707 not all were asleep. The old woman tossed and turned in her bed-silently but uneasily. Sleep would not come. She sat up wearily in the bed and instinctively turned on the light. And she stared, attentively yet indifferently, out the window. at the dark blue, moonlit skies. And she thought and she reminisced. She remembered the childhood days spent in the city, and she recalled her early days of married life. 20 The thought of happy days filled her mind, and jostled out the lingering memories of adversity. She suddenly felt a strong impulse to recapture them and the places where they were spent. And she anxiously but silently lifted herself out of the bed. i The old woman walked a few steps to the terrace and she found the door unlocked. She quietly opened it and stepped out onto the pleasant moonlit terrace. The memories gracefully returned to her and filled her eyes with tears. The intern finished the rounds of the building and brought the elevator slowly down. He looked at his wrist watch: it was l2:3O. The thought of Mrs. Green's insomnia had filled his mind ever since he left the seventh floor. He decided that he would check up on her again. He stopped the elevator on the seventh floor and stepped into the corridor. The nurse at the desk looked up at him. VVhat's the matter? ul dropped my comb somewhere on this Hoor. I'd like to get it. You'll get it when it's light in the morning. You can wait, cant you? No, I can't. It's the only one I have, and I'd hate to be without it when I get up later. I've got a Hashlight. It won't be any trouble. The young man stepped into the corridor and walked toward room 707. He peered in. The light by Mrs. Greens bed was on. but the bed was empty! He turned and looked around. The terrace door was open! He stepped quickly onto the terrace. There. sitting by the railing, was Mrs. Green. He walked silently up to her. She was smiling, looking out into the star spaugled night. Oh, just let me sit out here another little while, dear. she said to him. She hadnt turned around, but she knew he was there. Come on Mrs. Green, you'd better come in with me. It's pretty chilly out here. He spoke very tenderly. The old lady sighed as the intern escorted her to her room. He sat her down on the bed. Dont do that again, gran'ma. he said. 'AYou're liable to get real sick and I'm sure that you don't want that to happen. He smiled at her. He spread the blanket and covered her frail body. 'Sleep tight. gran'ma. I-Ie turned to leave but she called after him. XVould you please let me kiss you? she said pleadingly. yet very calmly. The young man paused, straightened his tie. and walked slowly and nervously toward the old lady. He bent his head slowly, and she kissed him tenderly on the cheek. Good night, gran'ma. Good bye. dear. She smiled. As he left the room. a tear rolled down his cheek. The young man passed the nurses booth. She was still very much absorbed in her magazine, and she didn't look up as she spoke. Did you find it? He didn't answer. 'Sweet old lady, isn't she? Ile nodded affirmatively. ls she asleep now? Yeah, she's asleep. Fast asleep. The young man turned quickly and entered the waiting elevator. The old woman did sleep that night. Slie slept 41 deep peaceful slumber. W'l1en they went to wake her next morning. tlzere was still cl smile on lzer face. Il Man and Nature by ISAAC snARoN Man is no more than a tiny insect whose days are numbered and whose death is inevitable. ln spite of all heralded advances in the realms of science, the human race is. as it has always been. a mere tool in the hands of Nature, the Omnipotent Master. Man may dream of reaching the outer Universe, yet his delusions of grandeur are invariably shattered against the hard rock of reality. Ever since Man was created. he has aspired to break away from the confine- ments in which Nature has placed him. and to become the master of his fate. Many have been his efforts, yet all have been in vain. Every attempt has not only failed, but has also entailed heavier yokes and lower standards. Having failed to learn his lesson from Eve's Apple. the Human struggled to ascend the insurmountable mountain of Eternity by means of the Tower of Babel. and consequently found himself dispersed for ages to come. Even at the present time, mortals fancy that they have finally managed to overcome Nature-that the stage in which they would be able to dictate the course of their future has arrived. They point to soaring skyscrapers and mechanized inventions. and practically claimed that in a short time Man will be able to fathom the secret of the Creation, and rule the Universe. Man fails to realize that he is now subject not only to the rigorous rules of Nature, but also to his own impregnable standards. The fact is that Man is so enslaved. that he is unable to appraise his situation in its true light. Treatises and researches have concluded that he is gradually advancing toward eternal longevityg that his average lifespan has been increased nearly twofold during the past centuryg that octogenarians will soon become the rule rather than the exception. But what value will a hundred years have to a harassed individual in an ultra-modern urban society? He will live to have appre- hensions that his own wild progress may result in the release of uncontrolled power for destructive ends. He will think. and dread the thought. that he may someday be living in a society where he toils while machines command. lt is true that countless inventions, potentially benehcial to humanity, have been made during recent years, yet in most cases their net return has been negative, due to misuse. These inventions. if directed towards the right channels. in har' mony with Natures standards. can aid humanity to a great extentg yet if applied artificially and selhshly, they may harm mankind even more. Man was designed to play a part in creation. secondary to that of Nature. and he cannot rebel against his own destiny. The pinnacle he may attain is only that which his Creator grants him. Any attempt to surpass his ultimate may con! ceivably result in a perilous upheaval. By being satisfied with his lot and com' bining his feeble strength with the incomparable opulence of Nature, Man can enrich both himself and his surroundings. Through education and insight into Natures methods. he may be able to comprehend the wisdom of the position in which his Creator has placed him. and carry on his life in a worthy manner. 22 1 -.1 D . , ,,. -jk' I' J nr : I K tggv xyuh we mx , H K s . , 'lvvx' 2 ,, 14 3 I I X NH MY-WN S'-A L.,Y... -s i - 'NN-x H-, WX-N x-' -N-N ,il Mb ' in ,X .. ,. xi A X X sh x X 'M . ,.,.. wx .

The early morning patrons of Morris 81 Harry's Luncheonette gazed discon- solately at the warning signal cast by the hands of the big electric clock on the luncheonette wall. Across the street a skirmish line of students was flowing through the welcoming doors and spacious halls of the Yeshiva. ln the T.I. office, the solemn and repeated intonation of 'ALO Nislach cast a temporary shadow of gloom over the gathered crowd. Downstairs, in the office of the Registrar, a helpful secretary offered spiritual solace to those waiting to venture into the interior. In the classrooms, the future of America and the shining hope of Israel pored over the teachings of the sages, while scattered groups of dis- senters absorbed themselves in the wisdom of those whose spiritual value repre- sented a point of vigorous debate. At last, the lusty resonance of the recess bells probed through every nook and cranny of the Yeshiva, and a mighty stream of students flowed into the streets. Stern's Cafeteria became filled with hopeful freshmen who viewed the seem- ingly low prices with boundless enthusiasm. Their delight cooled somewhat as they squinted and squirmed at the microscopic portions eye-dropped into their plates. The crowning blow was the hidden l0ljQ, clause, and rumblings of discon- tent resounded throughout the confines of the cafeteria. Across the street, little cliques of student revolutionaries crowded eagerly around the booths and tables, expounding wild and unrealizable plans to liberate their Iewish brethren from the yoke of scholastic tyranny. The luncheonette was divided along graduate lines, and the class of '53 stood out boldly in the second booth on the right-hand side of the store. Across the room, Harry snorted inco- herent epithets at zealous science students attempting to prove physical theories with flying bottles of Pepsi-Cola. Morris, whose cheerful temperament varied inversely with the number of unpunched checks tossed over the counter, zealously guarded the precious few copies of the N. Y. Post on the wooden stand near the exit. The iinpassive expres- sion of the counterman failed to reflect the trend of business at the food counter. while in the hack a woman stood jealous guard over the pile of potato latkes heaped high under the indifferent noses of assorted studentry. The hours passed. Up in the classroom the rumblings of history and mathe- matics blended rhythmically with the wails of suspended students roaming the halls in search of suitable sanctuary. The collected wisdom of a thousand years penetrated thc minds of the leaders of tomorrow, while others, whose place in posterity remains doubtful, concentrated on the new literary masterpieces of YVillie Sutton. School statesmen announced the coming affairs of student coun- cils to their enthusiastic bands of followers, while lower freshmen constructed paper memorials to those who died waiting for the bell to ring. 24 At last, the final bell rendered its joyful song of liberation. and the multitudes poured out over the beckoning streets and avenues leading homeward. The knowl- edge and experiences of the day carved their indelible brand on the memories of those not yet aware of the great things which were expected of them. The subways and buses were crammed with this grateful outpouring of Iewish youth, as Mr. Frankels ear sped northward with an assorted bunch of liberated students. Tomorrow, the clanging of the bell will resound up and down the neighbor- hood-through 186th Street and across the Avenue, into the alleys and over the many roads leading to Talmudical Academy .... The Old Man by RONALD ROTHMAN On the horizon. where the moor met the azure sky, an old wizened, stooped figure could be seen trudging across the great expanse known as the Purple Moor. The sun was beating relentlessly down on his back. while the furze and thorns hindered his shriveled body. He kept on at a steady if slow pace. and with a bold cynical smile on his face, but the smile in his eyes was genuine enough. He rested for a minute, leaning on an old gnarled stick that could have been as old as himself, while his eyes swept the vast expanse of heath. The heath was as boisterous as the sea but very much more beautiful. There were immense oceans of brown furze. and myriads of tiny colorful islands. The wind which accounted for the undulating movement of the heath, was as endless as the inoor itself. The old man, resting on one of the colorful islands, looked about him lovingly. Ilis piercing glance seemed to linger on each Hower. The sparkling lavenders. the glowing yellows. and the shining whites were all caressed by his wistful gaze. VVitb a sigh he stood up. shrugged his shoulders. and went slowly onwards. XVithout warning. the wind, blowing lustily all the while, rose to the high, whistling pitch of a hurricane. The old man seemed to pay no heed. The wind rose and rose until its shriek was like that of a high, wailing ery of a violin. The old man. panting and staggering, still wore the same smile. The heather and the furze were living things now. They danced and walked before the wind like gypsies. scratching at the man's face. tripping his weary feet. Ile was now very tired. Abruptly the storm ceased. The wind died as quickly as it had arisen. The old man was close to home. Ilis face seemed brown. and his jaw granite-hewn. His cheeks were aliye with hundreds of tiny precipices. and the mouth was a thin line cutting his face in half. The nose was a hooked eagles beak. and the eyes were a light blue, almost grey. They were deep set and proud. Unexpectedly. the proud old man sank to his knees with a grating sigh that racked his worn. old body. He stretched his body out to its full length on his adored heath. Ilis whole body seemed to embrace the heath. Ilis face turned slowly toward the heavens. and he smiled. He closed his eyes. and opened them no more. The vast. endless moor and the eternal wind still live. pulsating. throbbing to eternity. 1- -5 The Last Breath of Democracy by ravine BURsTErN The trial resumes. The judge takes his seat and the questioning of the prisoner continues. A'Louis Smith. You are charged with being the last democratic thinking person alive on Earth. How do you plead? . . . XVell, are you guilty or not? Cuilty. An ominous whisper goes through the courtroom. Everyone is astonished. The court will keep in order. Continue with your questioning. counsellor. Yes, Your Honor. I'll skip the details and get down to the most important question of all. XVho helped you escape the world-wide purges? UNO one helped me. I hid' in a caye when the purges started at the end of the war and left it only last week. XVill the counsellor please explain to the court how the prisoner was caught. 'tXVell your Honor. the accused entered a book shop one day and requested a large list of books. one of which contained one of the few remaining copies of the imperialistic, ill-worded Declaration of Independence. The shopkeeper, who worked underground during the war and who knew a lot about the capitalist sys- tem, became suspicious, and called the security police who took the prisoner into custody. The judge turns towards the prisoner. Haye you anything to say in your defense? If not, wc will have the defense counsellor sum up. Your Honor, there is nothing that I can say in defense of my client. Yet I would like to say to the court that I knew nothing of the case when I took it, and therefore I am taking this opportunity to apologize to all my colleagues. I hope they forgive me. So far as I am concerned you are beyond blame. I know that eyeryone on Earth will also accept your apology. The judge turns to the jury. HThe defendant has pleaded guilty. and therefore. there is no need for further debate. Docs the jury have any recommendations? The foreman of the jury rises. Your Honor, I am speaking in the name of the jury. YVithout retiring to the jury room, we recommend the maximum penalty. A great cheer iills the courtroom and the judge raps his gayel for silence. The prisoner will stand before the bar. The accused approaches the judge. He stands silent and tight-lipped. You are admittedly guilty of being a capitalist yyarmonger and a liberal thinker, This court sentences you. the last of your kind aliyc. to be shot by a tiring squad. Sentence is to be carried out immediately. Two armed guards march the prisoner outside. Ile is leaying without offering any resistance. A glassy stare is in his eyes as he gazes into the cloudless sky. They put the blindfold oyer his eyes. He is saying something silently to himself as the guns tire simultaneously. Finally. after ten years, the last breath of democracy has been smothered. 26 MY' 4' Q' 1. -j , 5 . .-1 - Tm 39' J. i, l l 1 JJ, lim' 41 fx 4 si vQ'f, ' . , . f d . ,.,..:-+3Y'f ' ' A , ,,4,,., . - if .f -1 - - .

His head was heavy, and his back bent with age, ages of bending over books. and years spent in meditation. His features were craggy and rugged, each crevice suggesting another cove. The nose was a hooked Semitic nose. the nostrils flaring. The eyes brown and gentle like a doe's. A luxurious beard, Uwhite as the driven snow, covered a firm iaw. Argentian ear- locks framed his face. He was old, yet had an intangible aura about him, an age- less quality. He was the Iewish philosopher. The philosopher had been sitting there for an eternity. pondering. . . . Throughout the ages the Jew has kept with him an innate love of learning that has served as the link holding together the scattered children of Israel. This indigenous curiosity had led to, among other pursuits, the study of philosophy, a word coming from the Creek. meaning love of wisdom. Philo was the first recorded Iewish philosopher to attempt the penetration of the inner chambers of our religion. Naturally puzzled about Gd. he endeavored to understand the Lord by describing Him as the true substance existing outside of nature. He says that it is impossible for us to describe the Almighty. Therefore, we called him MASTER Q 1'11J'm J because, hampered by the limits of our minds, we see him as the Creator and Leader. As regards the Creation, Philo is the adherent of the Creek theory Cas many philosophers arej, that the world was created from a spiritual substance that lacked shape. and the Lord, in giving this substance f LOC-OSU the desired form. created the world and its inhabitants. Regarding the understanding of C1-d. he suggests the separation of individuals and commu- nities from worldly pleasures by learning and discussing Torah. It is through this medium that one will finally begin to reach an understanding. Other philosophers, such as Saadia Caon. have disagreed with Philo. Saadia Caon seems to believe that the world was created from absolutely nothing Cdis- regarding the Aristotelian theoryp. Saadia also disposed of the Persian hypothesis. which stated that he who created light did not create darkness. by saying, 'LThere is only one Creator fGdb. and darkness is not a Creation but merely the absence of light. He also explains that our Torah will exist forever. He writes that we as a nation endure only through our Torah. C-d has promised that the nation will exist forever, therefore the Torah must subsist for all eternity. Saadia also tries to reconcile .avoir nm-is 1-in nvswn 'win Finn and the fact that the Almighty is aware of the future. tFor if C-d is aware that I shall become a non-believer. how is it possible to choose and avoid the situation?7 He writes that the knowl- edge of thc future and inan's ability to choose are two distinct powers quite apart from one another. In spite of prerecognition, the human is still left with free will. Solomon Ibn Cabirol poses an even deeper metaphysical question by asking how Cad. who is entirely purc. can create a world as sordid and impure as our own. He answers this by saying that C-cl did not actively create the world. However. a ZS series of substances Qdifferent xvorlclsj emanated from an intangible source KSC-d J, and what evolved is our world. To me this seems even harder to understand than the original question. How can our impure world evolve from a A'pure substance such as the Lord? Since G-cl is omnipotent the question to ask is not how can G-d create an impurity, but why should an impurity be created! The ancient sage is beckoning. IIis voice is gentle. Colne, mv son, let us learn together. I sit down opposite him. and together we sit in silence. Abruptlv his eyes lift. and his gaze seems to pierce the very depths of my soul. His voice, rumbling forth as if it came from the very bowels of the earth. savs. It is well. inv son. to discuss philosophical and metaphysical problems. Do not. however, stumble as many have. Keep this in mind, for it is the mainstay of our people. 'C . .r1rn5e'nJ1r:s:1 praxis us ROCKS AND BLOOD by ROBERT N.

Through all this you may not lose your temper. Don't forget, he said Excuse ine. Yet he speaks these words with no sincerity. He is actually downhearted that he didn't do more damage. Therefore, I advocate the abolishment of the expression Excuse me. In its place I would put nothing. XVouldn't it be a much happier World if the culprit in the case would be forced to remain silent?

These three ominous words with so much meaning were uttered by Mr. Lee Bell, after constant interrogation. It was learned by Nose reporters that this brief con- fession was the culmination of one of the biggest manhunts in T. A. history. This search followed the brutal mur- der of Farvel Caparrelli just 3 years from this 'Wednesday Suspicion was first cast on Mr. Bell when he was found standing over the body of Caparrelli, in the second floor bathroom, a gun in his hand, and an evil, almost hysterical leer across his face. It was not sure at first just what connection, if any, this circumstance had with the boy's murder. Finally, after 215 years, one of the investigators asked Mr. Bell, quite innocently, By the way, just why were you standing over his body with a gun in your hand that day? To which Mr. Bell answered, Sic Sem- per Tyrannisf' Another 5 months went by, and finally the detective squad found out the meaning of those Words. Mr. Bell was picked up shortly afterward, brought to the staticnhouse, interrogated and finally was forced to confess. When asked by a Nose reporter why he com- mitted this dastardly crime, Mr. Lee Bell answered, in a dull monotone, He walked behind my desk, didn't he? Code Message Received -1 Secretaries Held Mr. Abrams' cfiice, February 2, 1953 4LSMFTl: At 9:30 this morning. an urgent-sounding morse code mes- sage was picked up by Charlie, quite by accident, on his daily tour of the office installations. At first the mes- sage was indecipherable, and the meaningless sound cf Dota Piro, Dota Piro flowed across the airways. Later on the unintelligible syllables crystallized into an advertisement for Shmura Matzos, a letter to 40 par- ents, and an indefinite three-day sus- pension, respectively. The sender of the message has yet to he identiiied, but NOSE reporters are working on the secretaries, For information. l 1 l l A l l l 1 l l i l l l l V - Trial Hearings Open in T.A. Revelations Bared, Public Barred Lively S. C. Meeting Held Tues., Oct. 12, 1492 KAP, UP, QED, PHDJ-The umpteenth meeting of the Student Council was opened by President Pry Towtky with threats of execution if Freshmen who protested that they were not notified. Roberto Tub read the minutes of ten meetings ago which he had just finished typing. Tammany Kohen made the Treas- urer's report, and declared that there was a surplus of 3315 cents. Immedi- ately, shouts went up that this money be spent on a Hershey Bar for Mr. Hermia. Mr. Lichty, faculty adviser, threatened to declare any such ap- propriation unconstitutional. At the sound of this Lew Inn, chief constipa- tionist of the Constipation Committee, rose violently from his seat, a copy of the constitution in his hand. He said that such a threat by Mr. Lichty was a clear violation of the constipa- tional spirit of the constitution, since it limited free speech. Inn demanded Lichty's impeachment. His motion was seconded by Mutton Alpine. Pres- ident Towtky declared that he was limiting debate and he asked for a vote of conidence. Whereupon, G. C. Gull, a Senator from Florida. held a 5235 minute speech defending Mr. Towtky's point of view that debate be limited, and making a motion to that effect. Towtky asked for a second, and seeing no hand up, ran over and raised the hand of a sleeping Fresh- man. Mr, Lichty, who had just fin- ished marking a set of papers, stood up, yawned, and looked at his watch. He demanded the floor and claimed that the meeting was oflicially over. Lew Inn declared that this action was again unconstipational, and he referred back to his previous motion for impeachment. Tub who, by self- experimentation, had just proved a new psychiatric theory, moved that the Constipation Committee go out, hold a meeting, and make its decision. The Constipation Committee held a caucus in the bathroom, and when it returned to the meeting room two hours later. it found the room empty except for the sleeping Pry Towtsky, and Mr. Lichty, who was marking a new batch of papers. l Hearings on the VOLUPTUOUS VIMMEN case opened last week in the chambers of Judge Beryl Roy Diamond, Mr. Lee Bell, a member of the faculty, was requested by the prosecuting attorney, Mr. No Man A. Brahms, to subpoena Ion the threat of suspensionj some of the senior B.T.O.'s to testify. Since Leonardo Saitano and Rube Raisin had been wearing sunglasses that week, over- whelming evidence pointed to their guilt, and they were the first to be summoned to testify. These two B.T.O.'s took immediate action in their defense: they wore darker sunglasses-and they hired Dan'l Icebox and Gnat Looney as defense attorneys. Itzik Shmearon was also hired in case an appeal for clemency would be necessary. The hearings were private, but many students jimmied the locks and drilled holes in the walls to hear the proceedings. They were led by Tam- many Kohen who said he was repre- senting the STRETCHER, and Mitah Manba who claimed that he was only asking for information. Raisin and Saitano refused to testify on grounds of self-incrimina- tion. Robert Tub was called in by Mr. Brahms to see what he knew about the suspects through secret spy- ing. Tub requested that they remove their sunglasses to facilitate identi- fication, but when their lawyers re- quested that Tub remove his own sunglasses, he ran out of the room. When asked questions, Raisin an- swered Heh'? and Saitano answered How come? This was smart strat- egy, for if found guilty, they would both be subject to deportation. The hearings lasted three days and in that time such notorious B.T.O.'s as Bushkee and Tony Sex were ques- tioned. On instruction from their at- torneys, Kotza, Matza, and Silvajerk, they pleaded insanity and were re- leased with unexcused admits. The relentless grilling finally ended when Mr. Mohel Halflaw noted Bible lecturer and Canasta player, and Mr. Halvah Belch, famous Spanish ath- lete, presented evidence based on a thirty day test. that there were no girls in the school.

Itchy Fingers LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Edito1', I am writing this letter to you, as I would write to Louella Parsons or Emily Post-in the utmost of confi- dence. A problem has arisen in the school, one that my superior would rightly dub a real serious matter! A new sport has originated in T.A.. a sport which will undoubtedly be- come the national sport of the school, if given a chance. This sport is penny- pitching. But there is a problem, a two-sided one-from Doc Tapiro and' from Charley. I would like to explain this and have you get an un- biased opinion of what should be done. The first aspect is Tapiro. His li- brarians are demanding a seven- course meal, claiming that he never had it so good and they never had it so bad. Tapiro and his assistant Wineba, have, evidently, been feast- ing on Library funds, as manifested by a shortage of notches on their belts, and money in the library fund. Hence. Tapiro and Wineba hide behind doors and chairs, while matches are in progress, and wait for a big pot inot foodi. They then jump in and confis- cate the money. The second aspect of the problem, and definitely the harder, is Charley and his foot. Charley, it seems, cannot resist the temptation of receiving his daily leg exercises at the expense of the posterior of a bending student. The damage he does is irreparable. Students as well as teachers fear him. Mr. Hernia bears a lifelong grudge against him. Just the other day a Schwift Kick sent a cutting student through the walls and into the T.I. ofiice, where he received a Lo Nis- lach . We have tried to pacify Charley in various waysgby buying him a light pair of shoes. and by reserving a wall for himfbut they have all been in vain. So, dear Editor, I am appealing my case to you. I hope that you will take action that will succeed where I and my colleagues have failed. Yours truly, v Sore S. l I A MESSAGE FROM NEW FACULTY MEMBER THE REGISTRAR Boys, today you are on the thresh- old of a g1'eat event in your lives! your graduation from high school. Many of you will undoubtedly con- tinue your studies in college, and go on to great achievements in the Rab- binate, and in the fields of medicine, law, and business. You will be a credit to your people, and a valuable asset to the future of America. Others, on the other hand, will be bums. Today, for example, I have just received word that one student has decided against going to Yeshiva University. Instead, he has enrolled in Columbia, and engaged in some nonsensical study of anti-biotic buba- mycim. Has he a future? No! Will he ever make something of himself? Again, no! He is a bum, pure and simple. But it is not all darkness. Take, for instance, one of our best talmidim. who has been accepted to Yeshiva University. Already, he has shown brilliance in the field of Trans-migra- tion of Jewish Colonists as Affecting the Ethiopian Economy During the 5th Century, C.E. Think what a credit he will be to our school! Think of the unsurpassed excellence in which he will conduct his studies! Think of the genius it took to think up a course like that! A gem, a pure gem. He even makes me forget the Columbia bio-chemist, yimachshmo. But remember one thing boysg and especially those entering the business world: ethics and morality is of prime importance. And what do I mean by ethics and morality? Say, for example, a customer walks out of your store, leaving a 10 dollar bill on the counter. An unethical man would push the bill into his pocket Without saying a word. A man of high principles would always cut his partner in, 50-50. And finally, I conclude with one more word of advice: Whether you're rich or poor, it's always good to have a little money. Mini-Mites Mash Maramlers The Mini-Mites c1'ushed the oppos- ing Marauders in the visitors' own court, to the tune of 447-6! Belch was high scorer with 245, and Sam Eatless. in his first starting role of the season. racked up 202 foul shots in succes- sion to round out the scoring. The defense wasn't bad, either. Coach Wettcestein had to leave the game because of a severe inflammation of his right toe, caused by a long- neglected ingrown toenail, which he couldn't cut off during Sfirah. I GIVEN CORDIAL WELCOME AT STUDENT ASSEMBLY Mr. Grazelmyer, the new science teacher on the T. A. staff, was given a rousing welcome today at a student assembly. The school president, Mr. Prowstowsky. was supposed to intro- duce the new instructor, but wound up instead denouncing the infiltra- tion of dangerous Trotskyites on the janitorial squad. Mr. Graze1myer's address consisted of a brief summary of his previous experiences, the highlight being his exciting description of his new inven- tion, an automatic lox and cream cheese spreader, which is being pro- duced at present by the Cyanimide Bagel Company. The rest of the program was rounded out by singing, piano playing, and the deliverance of an essay entitled, The Introduction of Schis- matic Art, and Its Effect on Tran- scendental Theory of Economic Deter- ministsf' TEACHERS IMPROVE FACILITIES FARO TABLE RENOVATED It has been sniffed out by the NOSE, that gambling installations in the 3rd floor teachers' room have been completely overhauled. The old dice and poker tables have been re- placed by ultra-modern aluminum equipment. A roulette wheel has been innovated, and the faro table has also undergone alterations. The decision to renovate the gam- bling hall was arrived at by the Board of Directors a year ago, but action was delayed by a few reactionary members, who felt that it would have a disastrous effect on the morale of the students, who were forced to be satisfied by pitching pennies against the -ith floor walls. The opposing element was finally placated with this concession: Students working on the roulette wheel during their lunchtime would be given credit toward their school keys.

Edit0r's Message Fellow Seniors: XV ith the publication of the Elchanite of l953, you are witnessing the finest year book in the 33 years of T.A.'s history. VVe, the staff of the Elchanite. have tried to put out a yearbook of which you will be proud throughout the years. Many hours were spent planning, collecting, and editing the material for this book. After many months of tireless work, I feel proud to offer my gratitude to the senior class. Even more so, I would like to thank the A'Elchanite', staff, the finest and ablest aggregation of fellows with whom I have ever had the pleasure of working: Daniel Chill, the Associate Editor, helped us out of many tight spots with his ideas and will to work. Reuven Rosen, the Business Manager, devised every possible way of raising money to meet our quota. Arnold Silverberg, the Literary Editor, worked all year long collecting, choos- ing and editing only the best material for our line Literary section. Herbert Lubovvsky and Harold Kern, Photography Editors, have contributed excellent work throughout this Elchanite.'7 Nathan Silberman, the Art Editor, took upon himself the responsibility of drawing leads suitable to the high quality of the book. Ari Greenberg, the Copy Editor, was in the Elchanite office every day, perpetually typing the material. The literary and business staffs successfully executed their enormous tasks. Special thanks go to Michael Kramer, Nathan Lewin, Stuart Billig, Robert Taub, Isaac Sharon, George Siegel, Paul Peyser and Barry Oringer. To the senior class I offer my heartfelt congratulations. To the school, I leave an Elchanite which is truly the pinnacle of yearbook achievement.

Under the able leadership of the Executive Council the GO. devel- oped rapidly during the Fall term of 1952-53. At the Hrst Student Council meeting of the term appointments for the various positions xvere announced and approved. The appointed officers went to work imniediatelv, as did the members of the Executive Council. CO. pins were soon distributed, and reduction cards followed shortly. V ari- ous assemblies and club periods vvere planned and held successfully. Plans were also made for the shovving of a movie at an assembly of the student bodv. Early in the Spring term such a movie was shown. The GO. also entered the held of curricular activities in order to aid the program of the students. Through the GO. a Test-A-Day schedule was put into effect. thus lightening the burden of the T.A. student body. I TO Kneeling, left to right: XVeisenberg, 'l'amarv, Moses, Noble, llelfgott, lzenbcrg.

The Student Council representatives worked continually to further the welfare of the students. In publications, our school set a record by being the only school of its size to have six printed publications come out in one term. It had successful club periods and assemblies due to the cooperation of the administration and the students.

Schmulowitz, Art Club The Art Club set out this term with a deiinite goal in mind- the completion of a mural depicting school activities. lt directed its program towards achieving this end. The mural will undoubtedly consume most of the Art Clubs time and effort. The club. however. has also planned an exhibition which will include pictures in water colors. oil paintings. pastels. and sketches in pencil. The Art Club has been deterred consistently in its work by a lack of talented membership. Under the leadership of Mr. H. Fried. club adviser. and E. Tamary. president. it has. however. managed to overcome some of its obstacles, and has proved an educational as well as talent-building asset to its members. -1 .u.'L'i'. 31 .Biology Club This year, as in the past, TA. has maintained an active Biol ogy Club. At the club's lirst meeting. odicers were elected and small committees were appointed to prepare programs for presentation at future meetings. Among the many topics chosen by the club for study and observation were ornithology and marine life. The anatomical systems of many species of tish and birds were studied in great detail. This club was aided by lectures and demonstrations by Mr. E. Frankel. club faculty adviser. Also included in the Biology Clubs activities. was the sliowf ing of many films, dealing with the development of modern science and medicine. Future field trips and excursions were planned for the coming term. Through these activities and those planned for the future. the Biology Club has done mueh to further scientific interest in Talnrudieal Academv. atd left to right: Ifrucher, Castinnn, lllech. llillig, Stern.

Chill, Kramer, Burstcin, Lubowslvx Checker C lub In its relatively short history, the Checker Club has grown to be one of the largest school clubs. The reason for this growth has been a keen and growing student interest in its activities. During this past vear, the Checker Club conducted, among its members, a very successful tournament. Prizes were awarded to the winners. A good part of the agenda was devoted to active instruction on the fine points of the game. This was done under the able guidance of Dr. Shapiro, club adviser, and Daniel Frucher, club president. The goal of the club has been the organization of an inter- scholastic team and intramural competition, as well as instruction to those members who are not well acquainted with the game. In these, the club has proved a vast success and an enjoyable school function. 74 llhvrnislry l'lub 'l'he Chemistry Club is rather large. It has, therefore. found difficulty in providing all its members with an interesting pm- gram. It has suttered greatly from a lack ot adequate decurum. At the hegiuning of the term. a program of experiments and lectures was planned. Mr. Scherer, eluh faculty adviser. promised to ohtain films dealing with chemistry and bio-eliemistry. 'llre program, however, could not get under way. 'l'he experiments and the lectures were not adequately prepared, and the departure ot Mr. Scherer ruled out the pr0speetS for tihm and advanced experimentation. The Chemistry Club has sutftered a series of setbacks through- out the year. However, increased student interest, and the addition of Mr. Berger as club adviser. managed to get the club back on its feet during the latter part of the year.

Throughout the year. lectures were delivered to the club by various chess authorities. A tourna- ment was also held during and after school hours. Under the direction of Dr. Sascha Charles, faculty adviser. a definite plan of club procedure was formulated. The club was divided into two sections, both of which held tournaments among their members. The winners in each section then received a prize and played each other for the club championship, This form of competition enabled the novice players to gain knowledge from their more experienced opponents. Many future stars for the varsity chess team were discovered in this manner. Thus. the Chess Club, while spending an enjoyable year, has also benefitted the student body as a whole. T6 llh ug Itri Under tlie able leadership of Dr. Klenacliem Braycr, faculty adviser. tlie Cliug lyri lias prospered and grown during tlie past year. It has become one of tlie largest and most actiyc clubs in the scliool. At tlie beginning of the Fall term, tlie members of tlie club elected Mark Ingber to the oflice of president. lt was decided that the club would follow the policy of speaking only llebrcw at its meetings. lt was also agreed that a Hebrew newspaper. to be called the Hatcliiyali, would be published under tlie auspices of tlie Cliug lyri. At later meetings. conteniporaiy Iewisli problems were dis- eussed and different pliases of Hebrew Culture were studied. The Hrst edition of the Ilatcliiyal1 was distributed before Clianukali. and the second before Pesach. Botli were favorably receiyed by the entire student body. Slowly. but Surely. tlie Cliug lyri is rising in popularity. mem- bership. and aeliieyement. lt is already the pride and joy of the seliool. Ld I'ft to right: Nainian. Biclilcr. llcftlcr. Kitoyitf.

Debating C lub As in previous years, the Debating Club has carried on its traditionally Hne work in developing the oratorical abilities of its members. At the first meeting of the term. it was agreed that more debates would be held during the club periods than was the cus- tom in previous terms. Controversial topics were chosen before, hand, and the club members were given time between meetings to prepare a forceful debate. These debates were presented before the club and their merits and faults were weighed and discussed. Some of the topics handled in this fashion were: Repatriation of Korean Prisoners, Significance of the 1952 Elections. and Permanent Price and XVage Controls. There were other problems of current interest which were dis- eussed in forum style. Under the able guidance of Daniel Chill, the club president, and Nr. L. Cendell, club adviser, the Debating Club has gained a prominent place among the worthwhile student activities in T.A. 78 Dru ln a tics Cl u b The primary aim of the Dramatics Club this term has been preparation for the production of a play to be presented before the student body. At its regular meetings. the club proceeded to discuss the history and development of the theatre. This was accomplished under the guidance of Mr. Emanuel Bloom, the club adviser. In addition, each member was given an opportunity to further his dramatic ability by portraying roles assigned to him from various famous plays. Although the Dramaties Club was handicapped this year by the lack of experienced members. it has proved itself an extremely enjoyable and beneficial school activity. l Kneeling: Schukcr.

At the first meeting this term, the Cvlee Clubls members revealed their desire for a definite program. As a result. the club, under the leadership of its faculty advisers, first Mr. Schwartz. later Mr. XVeinbach, proceeded to acquire records of famous classical compositions to be played at its meetings. In addition to this. the Glee Club practiced a number of songs, and received excellent results. The Glee Club has, undeservedly and unfortunately, been hampered by a lack of student interest and a small membership. lts efforts-helped along by the Concert Bureau and Mr. Emery Grossman, have not, however. gone to waste. for it has continually succeeded in bringing enjoyment to its members. SO Th 0 ln 0.9 'l'henies, a literary publication of 'l'alniudical .Xcadeinyx represents the efforts of its students in the Held of creative writing. Short stories and book reviews are submitted by the students. These are judged and corrected, and the best are inserted into the publication. During the Fall semester, Alfred Kaufman. editor of urllllC1HCS,H and his statt sneceeded in publishing a very fine issue. lt was dedicated to Xlr. Herbert Greenberg. former linglish teacher in 'l'.A., and founder of the publication. This issue proved a req' enjoyable one. bearing fruit for the hard work put into it. The stall of Themes then turned its sights to a second issue. which Caine out during the Spring terin.

Dlathernatics C lub This year the Mathematics Club under the direction and supervision of Mr. S. Greitzer, succeeded in its aim of popularizing the study ot mathematics. At the beginning of the Fall term the club was composed of titteen members. but by the end of the term had succeeded in more than doubling its membership. Club periods were used to discuss the advanced geometry and algebra problems given in Interscholastic Mathematics League contests. Mathematics was presented to the club members in an interesting manner. thus stimulating an extra-curricular interest in the subject. Immediately upon convening the club members elected Isaac Sharon as President, and Iudah Mansbach as Secretary. These oflicers worked together with Mr. Greitzer in providing an enjoy- able program for the club. Through their united efforts the club has succeeded in propagating the interest and knowledge of mathematics among the students of TA. 84 011-h os I ra For the first time in 'll.A.'s history. a serious and successful attempt has been made to form il school orchestra. ln the future this Orchestra will perform at assemblies and other school functions. At its first meeting. the orchestra was divided into sections according to instruments, and at subsequent meetings practice sessions were arranged. As a result, the orchestra nou' consists of a piano. accordion, drums, and brass and string sections. Norman Palefski. leader of the group, has put a great deal of time into the coordination of the students' efforts, and has attained excellent results. Many classical as well as popular selections have been practiced to the point of perfection. VVith the full cooperation of the student body. TA. will. in the very near future, be able to realize a fine, versatile school orchestra. and left to right: l'ri'stou'slq. llersclnnani. Xluss. llgllcfslgi.

Through its activities, it has succeeded in arousing a great school interest in the art of photographv. As was the case last vear. the club vvas divided into several sections.

This situation was made possible by the institution of a lunior Arista in Talmudical Acadeinv in l952. enabling the schools elite to get training in their third year for active future Arista service as seniors. In Xlay 1052. six class members-Daniel Chill. Marvin Matz. loshua Miller. Ronald Rothman. Isaac Sharon. and Robert Taub were inducted into the Arista. having been found by the faculty and the previous Arista Assembly as measuring up to the three reqnisitcs of the honor society: good character. high scholastic average. and meritorious service in the various extra-curricular activities of the school. At the beginning of the senior year, l. Sharon was chosen Arista leader. and Robert Taub was elected to serve as vice- leacler. Under their leadership. working closely together with Mr. Emanuel Leibel. faculty adviser. the group performed its many duties. among which were taking over classes whenever teachers were absent. and helping to maintain order in the school. The Arista members also acted as ushers for various school assemblies and ceremonies. One of the society's most important contributions to the school was its acting as liaison body between the faculty and the students. focusing the Aclministration's attention on possible im- provements in school life. Arista members. in collaboration with the Arista Senate. elected members to a Innior Arista which will carry on the society's work next year. 88 Son ior Ledger The Scnior Ledger. a recent innovation in this school. is actuallv the successor of the Senior Informer. The Informer appeared on the bulletin board. The Adininis- tration felt that much unnecessary vvorlc vvas bcing vvasted on it, and requested that the ininicographed, less arduous and more cfhcicnt Ledger be substituted. After some deliberation the GO. assented to the AClI'l1illlSif2ltlO1l'S viewpoint.

Under the editorship of George Siegel, Editor-in-Chief during the Fall term, three printed edi- tions were issued. This marks a new record, since never before were that many printed editions distributed in a single semester. During that term the paper also proved its ability to cover on-the- spot news. A special election edition was distributed on the day following the Spring elections. The paper improved with each issue and numerous innovations were introduced. The line work of the publication was continued during the Spring term, under the editorship of Ioel Kaplan. The Academy News has proved itself truly worthy of its stature as the oflicial student publication. 90 Son ior lfoun cil 'l'wo weeks after the beginning of the fall term, the senior class conducted an assemhlv for the purpose of electing a Senior Council. 'l'wentv names were placed in nomination. out of which eight were to make up the Senior Council. As a result of this election, Reuvcn Rosen was elected class president. Isaac Sharon, Nathan Lewin, Sevmour Prvstowskv, Marvin Matz, Arnold Silverherg. Xlorton Alpert, and George Siegel were elected to the Council. At its Hrst meeting. the Council, at the request of the Senior class. voted to purchase senior hats and buttons. to he sold to the class. Orders for rings were taken bv Nlr. Rosen, who managed to obtain them immediatelv after the Passover holidavs. This delav was caused bv the fact that the die used in previous vears was defective. During the eourse of the vear, the Senior Council accom- plished much. Its outstanding achievement was the active recom- mendation to the administration that Nlr. Breinan. teacher of social studies, act in the capacity of Senior Guidance Counsellor. Mr. Breinan. an expert in this held. held private interviews with every student who felt that he needed advice in the selection of a college and a career. Since graduating classes in future vears will enjov the henehts of this guidance svstem. its importance cannot he under-estimated. tis. Seuted. left to right: Matz, Sharon, Rosen, l'rvstovxsl4v.

Library This year, under the experienced and capable leadership of Dr. Shapiro. the libraijv has continued its phenomenal progress in providing facilities for education and enjoyment for the stuf dents of Tahnudical Academy. New books were purchased and made a part of our shelf stock. and a capable stall of librarians was appointed. The duties of librarians are simple and educating. They learn everything there is to know about a library. Assorting. taking out. and returning books are all part of the librarians duties. The librarians are well rewarded for their time. as they receive special awards and a tree dinner. The library has more books per student than any other high school library in the country. 92 K .- al L Checker Team The Checker Team, though a recent addition to the schools interscholastic teams, made its Hrst season a very successful one. There were a limited number of matches due to the difhculty of Ending opponents, but matches were held with the Bronx High School of Science, and with Brooklyn TA. The team consisted of D. Frucher. L. Magin, N. Palefski. Mandel, A. Kaufman, S. Eltes, and was under the leadership of L. Meltzer. The team was undefeated in its three matches. It hopes to find a larger volume of keener competition for future years. Checker Team has performed an excellent service in promoting checker interest in the school, and has set a precedent for forming a City Checker League. Seated, Left to Right: Kaufman. Palefski.

Re-entered in the New York City Public School League, the team found itself again in the iight for the finals. League matches were scheduled with Stuy- vesant, Bronx Science, N. Y. Printing. Taft, Forest IIills, and Regis. Matches were also held with several Yeshiva High Schools. including Ramaz and Brooklyn T.A., all resulting in victories for the Talmudical pawnpushers. Three varsity members, Norman Palefski, Isaac Sharon, and Isaiah Beilin, were among the seven players who reached the finals of the individual tournament held by the Inter-Yeshiva High School Chess League. The year 1953 marked the end of the high school chess career of Isaac Sharon, team captain. who for the past three years has played first board on the schools varsity. IIis lifetime record in inter-scholastic competition, achieved against the best players of opposing teams, is ten games won, four lost, and three drawn. Norman Palefski, second board, and loel Kaplan, T.A.'s fourth man for the past two years, are expected to lead next years varsity. Isaiah Beilin, a sophomore, compiled a 3-I record this year at third board, and shows promise for the future. 94 IIO ba I in y .TPII In Under the chairmanship of Daniel Chill, and led by veterans George Siegel and lules Levin, thc Debating Team completed one of its most successful seasons. The first debate of the year was held at Central Yeshiva lligh School for Girls. TUX, repre, sented the afnrmative of the national topic, Resolved: That the United States adopt a system of permanent price and wage control, while Central defended the negative. TA. won a unanif mous decision. The second debate of the year was held on home grounds against Brooklyn TA. The topic was the same. as TA. this time defended the negative. while B.T.:X. advocated the afhrmativc. TA. was defeated on a split decision. Veterans D. Chill and C. Siegel completed their high school careers undefeated, assisted by such excellent dcbators as B. Oringer. Friedman, Levin, l. Perlmuttcr. and D. Smith, ref search expert. The team was ably coached by Nlr. David llorn. The aim of the Debating Team was to further the interests of public speaking, promote the spread of knowledge of current world topics, and increase the ability and confidence of the average TA. student in expressing himself. cd left to right: Tanb.

Nissen Schulman. ex-foil ace of Yeshiva University. took on the post of fencing coach and instructor for the T.A. Fencing Team. At the tirst practice of the term, the lioldovers from last vear's squad along with nianv new members applied for positions on the team. The work of training the students in order to held a winning team began immediately. Helping the coach in this task were senior members who formed the nucleus of the interscholastic squad. A complete arrav of equipment was obtained from the Yeshiva University Athletic Association. Many long and arduous practice sessions were held. Even though no matches were scheduled, the fencing team succeeded in training numerous lower termers, thus providing for a victorious fencing team in the near future. 96 I n lvrsf-In 0 lust ic illa th vma l ics Tl'll Ill The lnterscholastie hlatheniatics Team, the newest competig tive varsity in Talmudical Acacleniy, celebrated the end of the first year of its existence by placing fifth in the lnterscholastic Mathematics League.

THE GARDE 99 On the night of March 25. l953, the playoff game for the Iewish High School Basketball League Championship was held in Madison Square Garden between Manhattan Talmudieal Academy and its brother school from Brooklyn. The game was held as a preliminary to a professional basketball game between the New York Knickerbockers and the Boston Celtics. Almost l0.000 people were in attendance. Tickets were sold in the school' and the response was oyerwhelming. More than l.20tl students from many Yeshiyas. including oyer 9O Q, of Talmudical Acade- my. were present at the game. School spirit reached its peak. A cheer- ing squad was formed tor the tirst time. and it did a yeoman's job in getting the boys of the school to cheer their team on. The basketball team held two practices that week to make sure that it would be in the peak of condition for the big game. The stakes were high. On this game rested the jewish High School League Championship. If the Manhattan Talmudical Academy won. it would cap- ture its third straight league title. This would mean permanent retirement of the league trophy which T.A. had held for two years previous. At T130 the game was to begin. Even before 200. there were lines of students outside Madison Square Carden. six and seven abreast. The gates were opened at T:l5. and by game time the section re- served for the Yeshiya students was Filled almost to capacity. .-Xt 7:30 the game began. The starting lineup for the Manhattan Talmudical Academy was its best: Harvey Blech, Harold Kern. Ioe Meshil. Herbie Schlus- sel and Arnold XVeinstein. These Eye were to play the entire game. for an in- iury to Norman Palcfski. one of the team's stars, preyented him from playing, and Coach Hy XVettstein from sub- stituting. The game was fast and hard fought. .Xt the end of the first quarter. the red-hot Brooklyn team was out in front by the score of 21-13. ln the second quarter. the Talmudical defense tightened and the Brooklynites were held to a mere three points. Meanwhile. the Mini-hlites. led by Irlaryey Blech. scored 13 points in the quarter to forge ahead at halftime by the score of 26-2-t. The third quarter began amid shouting and cheering. The Xlini-Nites began to click on their passing and shooting. Kern. Klcshil. and NYcinstein dominated both backboards. while the entire team was making its shots count. A tremendous cheer went up when Nleshil made his foul shot. YVeinstein's beautiful driving shots also drew yigorous applause as did Blech's accurate jump shots. The Brook- lynites. howeyer. were not to be denied. They hustled and hit on their shots. They took advantage of momentary lapses, and at the end of the third quar- ter they trailed by only one point. 36-37. The tension mounted to its peak in the fourth quarter. The game was extremely close. No more than a tiye point differ- ence separated the two teams at any time. Eyery basket was greeted by a tumult of shouting, not only by students but by outside spectators as well. The tension was equally felt by the players. as they played deliberately to maintain their composure. At the beginning of the quarter. Kern made a basket. increasing our lead to three points. The Brooklynites retaliated. and finally managed to tie the score at -fl'-ll. The game went along slowly as the defenses guarded more tightly and the offenses held the ball until they could get a good shot. The tension was broken at interyals by Kern whose ball handling. foot work. and faking antics won the fancy and applause of the fans. The Man- hattan T.,-X. team again forged into the lead. with a quick four point spurt. and played hard to keep it. The Brooklynitcs stubbornly retaliated, and the lead fluctuated between one and four points. XYith thirty seconds remaining. .-Xrnold XYcinstein fouled out and he rcceiyed a great yolley of applause as he left the floor. .-Xlfred Chaiken replaced him. .Xt this stage of the game. the TA. team had built up a fairly comfortable lead of four points. lOl 2 The game was now nearing its iinish. and sensing this, people began to stand up to watch the action. The game was not yet won. If the Brooklyiiites could make the foul shot. and then make a three point play. they would tie the score. The foul shot, howeyer. was missed. TA. grabbed the rebound and scored a basket to take commanding lead of six points with but ten seconds to play. At this point. Coach XYettstein substituted Sam ljltes and Sheldon XYeinstein for Harvey Blech and Herbie Schlussel. The remaining ten seconds were played amid an atmosphere of anticipation. XYhen it ended the score was S2--16. Manhattan Talmudical had won! The members ot the team rushed out onto the Hoor. and hugged and embraced each other. XI r. XYettstein was showered with con- gratulations. and deservedly so. It would be hard to describe his beaming happi- ness: for to play in the Garden was his dream. and now after nine years of coach- ing he had realized his dream by leading his team to its third straight league championship.

The greatest season. thc greatest team cver to represent 'll.:X. This was the statement made by Coach Hy YYettstein in his locker room speech underneath Madison Square Garden following the teams victory over Brooklyn TA. To write again that Hy XYettstein had the age old problem of practically having to replace almost his full team following graduation is repetitions of last ycar's comment. lt really has been remarkable that in spite of losses of complete teams year in and year out. TA. has come up with highly successful and outstand- ing teams. Now TA. stands as one of the real court powers among the Private High Schools and certainly as the most Outstanding lewish High School team not only in New York but in the whole country as well. l O-f The team broke many records in its ride to the top of the lewish High School league. The trip was a little stormy at the start. but this was typical of T.A. teams who let up at certain times of the season but got going on all cylinders when the chips were down, and the games had to be won. Ending the sea- son with an unbroken string of l3 straight wins, TA. beat its arch rival B.T.A. in Madison Square Garden to annex its third straight lewish High School Crown. The game at the Carden, a dream of Mr. XVettstein's. who had worked on it for the last three years, finally became a reality with sports writer Gene Roswell of the New York Post making the final arrangements. The season ended with a record of 20 won. and two lost. Both defeats, early season ones. were avenged quite handily. .Xctually this is the closest a 'l'..X. team ever came to having an undefeated season. 'l'his remarkable record added to 'l'..X. overall record of lt!! wins and but 35 losses under Coach XVettstein. This serves to bring out more and more the Fine job done by our coach in mold- ing winning teams at 'l'..'X. Beset by iniuries to key players during the season lllarvcy Blech missed tive games. Norman Palefski missed two games. and Harold Kerns iniury prior to the second XValden gamel. the team was so well balanced that it was able to overcome all the handicaps and achieve the best record of any TA. team. The overall balance of the team was displayed by the ottensive record of its iirst tive. with almost all the members showing a ten point or better average. 1This includes Ioe Xleshil. who. though a member of the starting six. was used mainly for de- fensive purposes.l All members of the first Eve were either tirst or second team selections on the Iewish High School League all-star teams. Arnold XVeinstein made history by being the iirst lewish Iligh School athlete to bc selected for the AllAScholastic prep school team-a selection by N. Y. coaches and N. Y. Post sports writers. Harvey Bleeh was also honored by being given honorable mention by the sports writers for all city choice for the second straight year. llarvey also received the lly XVettstein 'l'..X.
