ilene Lipstadt' J' We came in September, 1959, found P.S. 141 and were told to come back next year. SOPHOMORE YEAR We entered our newly renovated edifice with trepidation, but it was too late to change . . . Or was it? . . . Rebecca leaves to return to leave to . . . Touring the school, we learn that the third floor, the fourth floor, and the lab are off limits, but the boys' bathroom is ours .... Chumash is taught by Castro, and English by a Canadian continental dresser with connections Up- town. Everyone loves him, but Havvah falls hardest .... We do busy work for Art, home- work for French, and learn how to earn a liv- ing in Bio .... Mishnah is spent amassing zeroes- Koait . . . and Ivris on one foot. . . . Only from an itchy Geometry book can youlearnwhatzicoupleofinterestingcurves can do to squares .... M.L. smiled and the world smiled with him. . . The second time we trembled .... As beatniks we honor Thanksgiving, and Myril sees Albany in her Chrystall ball .... We ruin a fire drill, are disqualified from the elections and choose Deana president for the first of three times. . . . We play hide-and-seek and announce Miss Riback's child-bride-hood to the Fifth Avenue bus .... The mouse roars as we meet for intersession .... We roar when greeted by Rabbi Berenholz' gestures and Mrs. Lev- inson's modern art .... What a change from trees .... Helenie institutes the tradition of Steif retests .... Round and round goes the Guggenheim, but we behave this time .... The Soph weekend leaves us hoarse as the team begins the three-year tradition of basket- ball losses. We go en masse to see Ben Gurion and M.L. loses his class to Dean Bacon? . . . The J.E.C. gets us disqualified from the sing, but for nought. Soph's Pacificn is presented anyway, as our year of sophomore seniorhood ends on the glorious note of Bloody Marty.

We promise to return and the restaurant promises to bar us . . .
