Sophisticates
By IIELEN TENNENBAUM
NEW YEAR has begun for the
Jewish people all over the
world. It is a year which we
can help make better by being
the kind of
Jewish boys
and girls for
whom our an-
cestors fought
and suffered.
Sure glad to
hear that Ole'
School Spirit
is back, espe-
cially for t h e
fellows w h o
Helen are slaving to
make their various sport teams
the best in the city . . Some
of the stars of the freshman
football team at Central are
Pete Kaiserman, Walter Thomp-
son, Don Lakind, Min Labe, Al
Chafetz, Jerry Roger, Sam
Lewis, Eddie Merkow and Joe
MacCoullogh . . . Congratula-
tions Stan Delidow and Jerry
.
Varon for having made the cross
country team.

IT WAS EARLY in the morn•
ing and your reporter was wait-
ing to see one who we think
is a man destined to be one of
America's greatest, Franklin De-
lano Roosevelt Jr. . . . We felt
oh, so humble when we walked
on Washington boulevard with
Mr. Roosevelt to the Greyhound
bus terminal where he took a
bus for the airport .. .
Here are some of the things
that FDR Jr. wanted me to
pass on to you! "In order to
become good and strong Ameri-
can citizens you should 1. learn
as much as you can of what goes
on in your city, county, state
and the whole world; 2. you
should study history thoroughly
and follow the happenings of
today; 3. in your schools try to
form discussion groups headed
by experts, where you will have
a chance to discuss housing, la-
bor and management and racial
and religious problems of today."

CENTRALITES, YOU must
have been pretty proud of your
graduating class treasurer Arnie
Rosenthal whose picture ap-
peared in the Detroit Times
after completing a 2,000 mile
trip which took Arnie through
four states and another country
(Canada, that is) oh, I almost
forgot to tell you, the means of
transportation was an old 1913
Model T Ford . . Sure must
have been thrilling . .

THE LINDIES are together
again after a long and enjoyable
summer. The gals are Sandy
Edelstein, Rita Klein, Judy
Marks, Bev Nathanson, Marilyn
Robins, Marcia Rosen and Card-
lyn Schayowitz . . . When open
club meetings begin you gals
ought to draw quite a crowd ...
Mel Wachs just got back from
the International Boy Scout
Jamboree which took him
through Belgium, Holland, Lux-
emburg and France and which
gave him a wonderful chance to
make some lasting friendship
with boys all over the world ...
Once while trying to speak with
some boys who knew only Ger-
man, Mel decided to use a little
trick, first saying "Sprechen Sic
Deutsch?", meaning do you
speak German, then continuing
in Yiddish which proved very
effective until he met some Jew-
ish fellows who knew the Ian-
Mrs. Williams couldn't be-
lieve that this was the Edison
man, come to replace a burned-
out fuse. Why, she had reported her electrical
trouble only twenty minutes before.
If Mrs. Williams were to visit Edison's Customer
Service Switchboard, she'd understand better
how such promptness is possible. Here, at the
nerve-center of the Edison system, clerks write

THE VOGUES have planned
an interesting schedule this year.
One of them, Lila Chatlin, will
sponsor a Halloween masquerade
at the Jewish Center. Among
the others are Eleanor Snyder,
Frieda Friedman, Lillian Yago-
da, Mildred Schuster, Sarah
Wildbaum, Florence Rosenberg,
Bev Shapiro and Diane Schreib-
man . .

WON'T BE SEEING Stewart
Mittenthal, Phil Schwartz, for-
mer H.P, student, Al Gendelman
and Burt Moler, for these fel-
lows thought they'd give St.
John's Military Academy a try.

WONDER WHAT'S become of
Bev Genser whom we saw with
Don Rubin a while back?
Haven't seen you together in
ages . . . If you want to keep
cool, go to Hammerstein's after
school where you'll be greeted
by Soda Jerk Shel Otis, and at
Horowitz's on Linwood where
Dick Nathan is doing a fine job
giving out with the sodas in ex-
change for just a little bit o'
silver . . . Well, don't wanna be
late for school, so see you next
week with a surprise interview.
up incoming requests for service, pass them on a
conveyor belt to a control table, where a large
illuminated map of the city stands. The requests
are sorted geographically, routed on another
belt to a staff of dispatchers who are in almost
constant touch with servicemen in the field.
With such a system it's no wonder that most
customers' calls are relayed to a serviceman in
their neighborhood within a matter of minutes.
