he can run much; youth is the time for any
extraordinary toil.PLATO

SOCCER
Following in the success of last year’s squad, our soccer
team proved strong and able again this year. With the aid
of Coach Gober and heads-up playing by all the boys, the team
finished the season strongly, with a 4-0-2 record. The final
standings placed us in a well deserved second place.

FORECAST
''The Return of a Native Twenty Years After''
Three-fifteen on Mondays is always a grim
moment. It is the time for admissions of certain
unquestionable truths. Clearly the weekend is
over. I was in no frame of mind for a yearbook
meeting. I had nothing more to say in regard to
the “Forecast” copy I was supposed to write. I
was tired. I sat down at the typewriter for a
moment. Outside the sky had advanced toward
dusk. Inside the sound of voices had grown dis
tant. I had become incredibly drowsy . . .
It seemed as if I’d been sleeping for twenty
years. When I tried to walk I stumbled upon a
decrepit copy of a volume of Ferlanghetti la
beled “Classic.” Groping for support I grasped
the edge of a bookshelf. The front page of a
newspaper described the details of a libel suit.
William Dorson, stock-broker, was suing Richard
Snyder for disclosing confidential information
about him in the latter’s book “How To Make
Millions Doing Nothing.” Alongside it was a
volume of “Hair Straightening Through Tran
scendental Meditation” by H. S. Hower. The
book jacket said this was a sequel to Mr, Hower’s
other successful work, “A Day In The Life Of
Michael Bluestone, Visionary Prophet.” Sud
denly the bookshelf flung open to reveal an ele
vator adorned in various hues of pink. I was not
surprised to hear from the elevator operator that
Joan Feinberg had decorated it.
I got out where Mrs. Mugmon’s desk had
always been. In its place now was a highly intri
cate computer. It bore a plaque reading “De
veloped By Buchalter and Blaut Engineers Inc.”
Juan— now with gray hair— stood vigil over it
with a hammer. Through Dr. Spahn’s door I
heard two men discussing the merits of an inter
national summer camp. I recognized the voice
of Howard Karman.
I walked out into the hall. Stacey Mandel was
reprimanding a kindergarten student for wear
ing her skirt too short. Adrian Rothenberg,
speech therapist, was looking on disapprovingly.
“I don’t care if your mother is Debra Wertheim
and editor of Glamour.” Evidently Adrian
Rothenberg was a martinet in adhering to the Ten
Commandments of Dress Regulation left to her
by Mrs. Weingarten. Cathy Singer, math teacher,
was equally appalled.
George Schweitzer was directing a film in the
girls’ locker room. He dropped a script on the
floor and I read the title, “Down The Up Stair
case And Out The Entrance Door,” by Ida Lang-
sam, starring Susan Shurr, Linda Von Geldern
and Amy Sutow as Hedda Gabler.
I walked out of the building. Sally Bruner,
Sheila Schwartz and Susan Halper were picket
ing for higher wages for teachers. Stephen Blum
was standing on a soapbox making a campaign
(Continued on Page 76)
75
speech. Carol Lehman was covering the event
for the New York Times. Carol Lambert was
translating it into Russian for Pravda and French
for Le Monde simultaneously. Nina Seymann,
professional artist, had been commissioned to
paint Black Beauty on the red doors. Linda
Blinbaum was demanding space for some of her
fashion illustrations.
My head was spinning. I felt increasingly
self-conscious and yet nobody had acknowledged
my presence. I walked swiftly to Columbus Ave
nue to the Goddard-Riverside Neighborhood
Center. Surely there would be some relief for
me there. The head psychiatrist— Robert Bleier
— had gone on a cruise. I was referred to the
staff of social workers— Martin Polack, Susi de
Gelsey, Jayne Israel. Dr. Marc Schwartz ad
vised me to take an aspirin. Dr. Kenneth Da
mask, surgeon, reprimanded me for having
waked him.
More confused than before, I went to White
Cup to have a cup of coffee. Pamela Harwood,
the proprietor, asked me if I wouldn’t try her
famous ’68 vintage coffee. She said that Edward
Meyers and Son had made a fortune in its ad
vertising campaign. I said I was convinced.
Now I walked east toward Central Park West.
Cathy Moore, ambassador from France, was ne
gotiating the purchase of Central Park along
with Peggy Judson, ambassador to the shire,
for their respective countries. They had tied
the United States representative. Sherry Manasse,
to a tree and had gagged her. I heard a little
girl say that Felice Shapiro, a famous mathema
tician, and David Ruby, a business tycoon, had
been summoned to calculate a good price for the
sale. Chris Dakan was picketing nearby against
United States dollar diplomacy in Lichenstein,
announced a man with a microphone driving by
in a car.
Walking toward the bus stop I spotted a news
stand. Gil Jaffee was riding by on a horse with
a ten-gallon hat on his head. His horse refused
to move in the middle of the street. Jaffee dis
mounted and walked away chuckling. He mut
tered something in recognition of me but then
walked on, telling himself it had been a long trip
back from New Orleans. I bought a copy of
“Statisticians Today” and noticed Donald Le-
wine and Elaine Traube and Eric Bram on the
cover. Jody Jacobson was fixed in a yoga posi
tion in a picture on the back page advertising
Liane Onish’s dance studio. (The newsboy told
me it had been rumored that Liane was suing
her pet dog for having tripped her during a
rehearsal.)
I found a hotel room in which to sleep. My
former building had been taken over by Franklin
School as a dormitory. I switched on the radio
to find some soothing music. I heard someone
say “This is Roger Lapkin and here is the news.
Rita Kohn has conquered Mexico in the name of
Cortez. David Burstein is approaching his
eighteenth consecutive day of filibuster in the
Senate over a food ration issue.” I fumbled
with the dial. I heard Phillip Greenberg an
nounce “Donald Nyer has stabbed all the Mets
to death.” Then he declared that WPAT’s trib
ute to neo-classicist composers would begin. The
first selection was Erik Poulos’ arrangement in
D flat minor— to be conducted by Zubin Mehta
— of Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-
Changin’.” Then it occurred to me. There must
have been something in that water I drank from
the fountain that Monday afternoon of the year
book meeting. I’d known this situation before
in fiction I had read. The calendar on the table
read 1988. I heard the broadcaster repeat “The
Times They Are A-Changin’.” I settled back on
my pillow. After twenty years of sleep and one
day awake I was tired.

MRS. MARTHA WEINGARTEN
For four years, Mrs. Weingarten has been the faculty advisor to the staff of the FRANKLINITE. She has actively enthused with her editors even over some of their wilder creations, patiently prodded the photographers for “More candids!”, and has donated much of her personal time to the point where she might show up at one of the weekly meetings bleary-eyed for lack of sleep because at three in the morning she remembered a quote was missing for page seven, and she couldn’t really rest anyway because she was worried we wouldn t have the Forecast finished by the deadline, and oh, had the soccer candids come in yet?
Having enjoyed this pleasure (!?) for four years, Mrs. Weingarten has decided to pass the privilege on to someone else and let the 1968 FRANKLINITE stand as the last (and best, we hope) issue she advised. There is so much we can say and yet what more can we say than the most sincere “Thank you, Mrs. Weingarten.”
