About
Durfeeites

By RENA KATZ
Just before flashing a victori-
ous smile, Beverly Simon, a stu-
dent of Durfee, spelled the word
"iridescent" correctly and be-
came the winner of the 1951
Detroit News metropolitan spell-
ing bee. Beverly, 13 and in the
eighth grade, triumphed over 30
district champions after making
her second attempt at the title,
Beverly's reward for winning
the metropolitan bee will be a
much earned trip to Washing-
ton and a crack at the national
bee.

"We believe that as American
Jewish youth we are only doing
our part to help the new state
of Israel," stated Winnie Ledger,
treasurer of the Revols, a girls
social club at Durfee. The Re-
vols recently conducted a fund-
raising drive in behalf of the
Allied Jewish Campaign. As a
result, the girls are making a
$90 treasury donation to the
AJC. Next year the members—
Barbara Halpern, Rena Katz,
Eileen Black, Lois Feldstein,
Shirley Weinstock, Leba Cutler,
Winnie Ledger, and Phyllis Lip-
tzen—intend to become f un-
fledged workers for the cam-
paign.

As expected, the Durfee vari-
ety show was a great success.
Among the more entertaining
acts were Alvin Koretz, David
Abels, Stuart Frank, Max Ernst,
Douglas Sederhoim, and
David Simonds, who, as
a band, brought. the
house down with their rendition
of "Be My Love" and "The
Tennessee Waltz." Sharon Katz
took three curtain calls after
presenting her yeesion of "Alex-
ander's Rag Time Band." Char-
lotte Meekler and Eleanor Rud-
ner sang the snappy number
"We're - A Couple of Swells,"
taken from the movie hit. "East .-
Cr Parade."

9-Year-Old Nathan Wiser Wins
$100 Barton Prize for a Poem

On the basis of recommenda-
tions made by the National Con-
test Committee of the American
Association for Jewish Educa-
tion, Barton's Bonbonniere pre-
sented a $100 Government Bond
to 11-year-old Israel-born Jud-
ith Preiser of the Jewish Com-
munity School, 110 Manhattan
Ave., New York, whose entry was
a poem written in Hebrew "My
Native Land."
Although only one first prize
was originally announced, on the
basis of the recommendation of
of the judges, a $100 Bond also
was awarded to Nathan Wiser,
a student of the Yeshivath Beth
Yehudah, 12322 Dexter, Detroit.
Nathan Wiser will receive his
$100 bond from Arthur Klein,
manager of Barton's here, at the
Jewish Community Council's
delegates' meeting on May 31.
The contest was conducted on
three levels: in t h e religious
schools, locally and nationally.
Reproduced below are the two
first prize-winning entries:

"My Native Land (translation)" by
Judith Preiser:
You are my native land,
You are my home so grand,
Given to me by God's hand.
Milk and honey are your share
None within you knows despair.
Your pioneers toil with main and might
Work by day and guard by night.
The homeless in a steady stream
Realize in you their fondest dream,
For you they yearn
To you they turn
Ready to give
Eager to live.

The medical schools in New

practice forbidden to colleges

They thanked the Lord repeatedly,
His praises they did shout.

Father will tell him of the Jews,
Who escaped from a wicked kings
Who saw slavery end, freedom won:
And of mighty miracles did sing.

Praised the Lord for saving them.
After countless years of toil;
For Moses in the desert, -
Led to the Promised Soil.

All through the Seder meal,
Father fascinated him;
With songs Jews sing with zeal,
And with stories of each hymn.

Soon the Seder was over,
And cane time to rest in bed:
And in the night he sweetly dreamt,
Of the people Moses led.
