Learn Your Lesson• in 'Cinderella'

There are two ways to learn He-
brew, boys and girls. One is the
way your parents learned: by
reading David's letters to Moshe,
or about Avigdor's trip to a kib-
butz. That's okay if you like to
read other people's letters . . . or
if you plan to visit Israel soon.
The other way is to read "Alisa
B'Eretz Hapla'ot" — Alice's Ad-
ventures in Wonderland . . . or
"Likhlukhit" — Cinderella . . . or
even "Mahsot Gooleevayr" — Gul-
liver's Travels.
These books, and many more, are
offered in the Hebrew display at
the Jewish Book Fair being held
through this weekend at the Jewish
Center.
The Jewish National Fund, which
sponsors the exhibit, has collected
some 1,000 titles from Israel. What
many children — and their teach-
ers — don't know, is that the
famous classics American students

love are also loved by Israeli chil-
dren.
Other books include "Peetayr
Pen" (guess!) "Merri Pohpeens"
( supercalifragilisticexpealidoshus
is in there, too!) and even
"Meeshlay Aysopoos" — Aesop's
Fables. Oh yes, and "Elef Layla
v'Layla" — A Thousand and One
Nights.
Of course, there are some stu-
dents who would rather play games
than read. For them, there are
such games as a Hebrew verb _
wheel that make it almost easy to
learn the future tense.
And for boys and girls who like
the mysteries of science rather
than fairy tales, there is an "Otzar
Ha'tshuvot" — Treasury of An-
swers — with everything from
"nisyonim" (experiments) to pic-
tures of space capsules and their
"ahstronoots."
Children whose parents want to
learn Hebrew along with them
prefer "Meeroosiah b'Aha-

`Survival' Slated as Topic of Hashomer Hatzair
Scheduled to Gather at N.J. Pioneering Farm

"Survival of American Jewry—
Is It Possible?" will challenge par-
ticipants at Hashomer Hatzair's
fall conference, to be attended by
eight college members of Detroit
chapter at Hehalutz Farm, Hights-
town, N.J., Nov. 24-26.
The groups will stay for a week
at the farm, modeled after an
Israeli kibbutz and operated by
Hashomer Hatzair for all those
seriously interested in that way of
life. Along with training in agri-
culture, farm members carry on
a continuing program of social and
cultural activities. They also man-
age the Hehalutz Israel Institute,
which is used by Jewish groups
throughout the Middle Atlantic
States for seminars and conven-
tions.

This year's Homecoming Week
surpassed any other at OPHS. The
sophomore class made a finer
showing than any other sophomore
class in school history, the junior
class made an excellent challenge
for the coveted "Spirit Jug," and
the senior class was just a little
bit better "the second time
around", as it won the second
Spirit Jug. Along with being the
first class to ever win the Jug
twice, the seniors showed great
organization and a true devotion to
their school.

One of the newest clubs at
OPHS, the Political Science Club,
has been set up to explore the
various workings of government.
The first project of the club was
a mock election in which members
of the club presented the plat
forms of the candidates for gov-
ernor, senator and congressman.
Following this assembly, the
school voted on all the candidates
and the timely proposition,
"Should the 18-year-old be allowed
to vote?"
Officers of the club are Presi-
dent Richard Victor; Vice Presi-
dents Larry Peters and Bob Win-
ter; Treasurer Bob Grossfeld, and
Secretary Michele Sinkoff. Over-
all chainnan for the mock election
was Larry Pepper.
