M A S M I D Juniors, upper classmen at last, thoughts of commencement and careers begin to germinate . . . two majors! . . . required courses . . . In elective fields the class broke up, but by now we ' re all well acquainted . . . Highbrow stuff; we ' re introduced to Dr. Stuff Litman and the universal against the par- ticular . . . and we really should have taken his logic course if we want to talk sense . . . And psych — Dr. Xerxes Zubin with lab periods and intelli- gence tests . . . And that other required course . . . Oh, yes! Ethics . . . Can we forget so easily the ambiguity of life, the conflict of the wills and the ever elusive solution? We did get practice in taking dictation, but think of the fun we missed! If only the bon-fire of ethics notes had come off as expected . . . And did you read Werfels notes of Dr. Ward ' s education class? . . . the silly wise-cracks of Itz Goodman and the rest? , . . And the competition of Gordon, Wall and Gorenstein for the coveted title of chief T. L. . . . And the new equestrians . . . those pony-riding Greek scholars who slowly dwindled in number but gained in ability. What a class! Even Eleazer Goldman, the prodigy and genius of the class, had to struggle to maintain his position as ranking student ... In general, clean interesting fun . . . ahswering the roll call for each other . . . slipping out of Ethics, chairs and all . . . Al Koaltch sending a freshman In his place to the education class . . . Rabinowitz losing two elections . . . Satlow vs. RIbner campaign . . . Lleber disappears . . . Pictures of Dr. Gutkind taken — without films! — and the playroom opened too . . . and the first social affair! Werfel in his yarmuike, Wolfe and Sissy win a contest, and Lou Cohen, too . . . And Journey ' s End with Stanhope Charney, hHIbbert Polikoff, Trotter Novick, Osborne Rabinowitbz, Raleigh Silverman, and that rare species of Yiddish-speaking colonel, Levltan . . . and oh, yes! Mason Kaplan. Some fun, wasn ' t it? And do you re- member the constant stream of new secretaries at Scripta? (Some were nice, too!) and the time Dr. Ginsburg forgot to come to a junior final examination? . . .and Singer throwing dates at Dr. Margallth? . . . And the Commentator with Gabriel as managing editor? . . . And SI Kornfeld ' s reveille bugle? . . . and the election? — RIbner, Kolatch, Werfel, and Kaplan head the Student Council, but that ' s for next year, the Senior year . . . and we almost forgot: Deanship Is dead, long live the registrar . . . And hienkin and Karlin won medals . . . Are we good! September ' 36 — The final year . . . three years are gone and more time going every day . . . Thirty weeks to commencement . . . Mr. and Mrs. Simon in the dormitory . . . they do serve good tea, you know . . . our second affair a neat success and a financial failure (do you remember the downpour) . . . Mid-year exams . . . Spring, the final stretch . . . last minute reports . . . classes on the roof . . . the boys are still what they were four years ago; M. Hurwitz still the great mystery . . . Aaron Kaplan still the most conscien- tious; don ' t the boys In International Law know It? . . . Mike Karlin had an article In the Scripta Mathematica . . . President RIbner still scores 98 ' o on the Barnard Purity Test — we hope! Oh, yes! Some change there Is! Heraclitus be praised ... his eternal flux has worked wonders. After four years, Sam Prero finally has a red beard . . . Less face to wash, anyhow . . . and oh, yes! Max Levy has accumulated enough energy in four years to enable him to ascend the platform for his diploma. But Father John Be ' -nfeld? — He still seeks a dowry (the young lady is unnecessary, it seems) and he still uses his pony for Greek quotations In his sermons . . . And Al Kolatch has acquired an automobile to help shade his scalp against the sun . . . and then exams . . . and now commencement! It ' s all over! Yes, we remember, and if the memory of these glorious years begins to fade, posterity will exist to judge and remind us. The future will remember the class of ' 37. Here is our chronicle — judge us! Twenty-eight
