r GNL -N55 A7-. 1 1 f I r' The sweet pleasantry of summer was interrupted sometime in August by the arrival of an official looking letter. Upon opening it, we discovered the following message: From the office of the Registrar: Greetings: You are cordially invited to attend the thirty-fifth annual student get- together .... We began our second year wondering how large the new Freshmen were. Upon assuring ourselves that we were larger, we proceeded to exercise our inherited powers as upper classmen. Availing ourselves of the knowledge received in our freshman year we ap- proached our sophomore studies with bigger britches, better cribs, and Barron's Regents answer books. A sober atmosphere was soon to en- velope the student body upon the pass- ing of Rabbi Berkowitz, a teacher of Talmud. His successor, Rabbi Fishman, was a familiar and beloved Rebbi to many students. The brighter students in T.I. found themselves in Bet m'hirah and were soon informed that: Sophomore Year lj Charlie the janitor objected to pea- nut machines in room 405. 21 Nine out of ten pigeons prefer Hartz Mountain Bird Seed. 32 Gootch didn't. 42 They were the best in T.I. Rabbi Tendler welcomed Marvin Gold- man back into his class: Marv soon be- came a close friend of the family. From the haze of our Hebraic studies, we set out to delicately masticate our lunches in either Stern's Cafeteria or the College Luncheonette, otherwise known endearingly as Herring Garage. The quiet demure atmosphere in which we fulfilled the cravings of our stomach was often filled with appetizing discussions con- cerning the pancreatic excretions of the African Fruit Fly. After fully devouring the African Fruit Fly, we went to our high school classes. A pleasant surprise was in store for the lucky students who were taking Dr. Brayet's fascinating and scintillating archaelogical Hebrew course. Upon interrogation concerning his full summer of newly married bliss, Dr. Brayer replied, Oh Brudder! This reply became so symbolic of his feelings toward

As a result, he instituted his renowned get-tough policy. So we got tough with him. XV e received our first taste of geometry with Mr. Lichtenberg. We did not know that this friendly looking gentleman with his artistic handkerchief was not inter- ested in the same figures that we were. After a whole week of studying geom- etry, Mr. Lichtenberg, panic-stricken, in- formed us that there were only nine short months left to Regents time. Fev- erishly, we began reviewing. The slower students in Mr. Cohen's class took time to learn the course before starting their review. Mr. Cohen had a habit of banging on the blackboard with his ring. We often wonder what would happen if somebody were to knock back. That year, we discovered that the for- eign sounding words which Mr. Schwartz, our Art teacher, uttered in moments of anger were not Spanish. In the field of foreign languages, we encountered two new teachers, Dr. Charles and Lit. Freed. Mr. Freed, in his discourses on French life, br0ade2zed ' our knowledge of Parisian culture. On the other hand, Dr. Charles taught both French and Span- ish, and some German, Greek, Latin, and Russian on the side. Dr. Charles' only relaxations were Exercises A, B, C, D, E, and the chapter in the back of the book. The Spanish class was transported to Spain with a new friend, Quinito. Dr. Charles quickly brought them back with a test. How well everyone remembers those tests! The only worry of the Spanish class was regarding the health of one Herbert Linchitz. Among our other for- eign languages was English. One would expect to learn English in an English course, but we were not so fortunate. We learned, My name is Ling Foo Horn, I am the hero of this class. You are my most honorable disciples. By the end of the term, you will agree with me that the desk I am standing behind is in reality a mountain. Sure, sure, we agreed, although the mountain looked more like a psychia- trist's couch. After a few more visits we became expert mountain climbers. Using this knowledge, we yodeled our way to the fourth floor to encounter Mr. Frankel in the Bio lab with great ex- pectations.
