KOL NIDRE NIGHT 2013

the most sacred time of the hebrew year occurred two days ago. it is called kol nidre night. on this night i was reminiscing about the most memorable kol nidre night of my life. it occurred 61 years ago when i happened to meet two of my CCNY and previously p. s. 6 classmates (both honor students) and we went bowling together. we all lived happily ever after separately anyway.

the important thing this night two days ago is that i began reminiscing about the old days. my wife also a CCNY and p. s. 6 honor student grad (how did i ever wind up in this company? i don't know.) has a collection of the p. s. 6 newspapers from that time. the people i went bowling with were the premier students in my grade and i wanted to find their works for re-publication here. what i did keep running across was my wife's name on the honor roll, and the article below. sooooooo, i will publish her work below and handwrit it as i'm too lazy to set up my scanner.


AND NOW FROM MY WAYBACK MACHINE MY EVER YOUNG WIFE'S (8B3) ITEM IN THE OBSERVER DATED MAY 1946

WELCOME DR. MONASH

My dear Mr. Monash,

In behalf of the pupils and teachers of P. S. 6
I would like to welcome you to this school. Though
you have only been here a few months, you have
accomplished much. You have had the Home Room
time changed to 9:00 to 9:20 instead of 11:30 to
12:00. The girls contrary to the last few years, are
making their own graduation dressses. The section
books are being checked by yourself and a new plan
put into operation. A play may be presented at gradu-
ation including the regular exercises which we have
never had before. A self-control diploma will be pre-
sented to two or more classes from 7A to 8B. The
classes will be chosen by the teachers. It is something
every class will try for. thus encouraging self-control
and good citizenship. All these were your ideas.

I am sure that during your administration our
school will profit by your presence.

Good luck and best wishes in your new assignments
from the citizens of P. S. 6.
