There are six teens which this Jewish Community can be very proud of. Sandy Lazarus, Joe Persky, Dave Reiskind, Dave Reuben, Ronnie Stumpf, and Joe Wolf are National Merit Scholarship semifinalists. They are six of 71 high school students in Marion County who made the semifinals. Last spring thousands of juniors across the nation took the qualifying test. Ten thousand seniors in the U.S.'A. are now semifinalists. In a few months, “our six” and all the others will take another test. Those that will emerge from this examination wMl be finalists. They will then take still another test to find out whether they qualify for a scholarship. Whew! The more I think about the long complicated process these kids will be going through, the more I wish them good luck. I hope that you will do the same! BUT THESE KIDS aren’t the only ones who will be taking ex-tra-curricular tests this year. YOU and yours truly are also in for our fair share. Most juniors have finished their Iowa tests, and they will also get a crack at the test mentioned in the paragraph above. This Saturday is the date for the PSAT. And last but certainly not least in the hearts of all seniors are the College Entrance Examination Boards. Our own Jeri Kaseff is one of the candidates for Ripple’s HomeComing Queen. She was nominated by the Foreigners Club of ^hich she is vice-president, Good

luck, Jeri! In case you were going to be one of the many who have been congratulating Gloria Engel o n being accepted to Miami University in Oxford, O., don’t! Although Gloria has sent in her application already, she won’t be notified of her acceptance until May. ““Anybody know how the rumor got started? Dwight Lee has been elected president of the Swank pledge class. By the way, when will we get to see that Swank-Pok football game that we’ve been promised. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed for Ricky Weinstein. Ricky is up for prez of the Junior Class at Ripple. He and Steve Goldsmith were also recently initiated into Ripple’s Key Club. SURE HOPE THAT they aren’t too rough on Jerry Ancel, Larry Braun, Phil Brodey, Marty Gelman, Jack Klezmer, Mark Langman, Ronny Sagalowski, and Harvey SChuchman; they’re Sammy’s new pledges. And Ashley Ackerman, Steve Bluestein, Sidney Miller, Jery Regen, and Tom Scholss are ZBT’s pledges. Good luck, boys, you may need it! Three months are the lucky words for anyone seeing Mark Berger and Mona Solinsky on Monday, October 16. It is their “going steady” anniversary. Harvey Finn delivered the sermon for Temple Teen’s first private service in the Temple’s chapel two Friday nights ago. The Sabbath service for “teens only” will be held once a month during the Family Night Services. Debette will hold its rush tea at 1 p.m. on Sunday, October 15 at the home of Marsha Schuchman.

Community Leaders Urge

Backing U. F. Campaign

Leaders of the Indianapolis Jewish community have urged participation in the current United Fund drive. The United Fund campaign in Marion County has now reached 47 per cent of its goal. Following ai’e comments which have been given concei'ning this ox'ganization:

RABBI MAURICE DAVIS “We Jews have known, from the beginning, how great our responsibility is to our fellow man. The community in which we live, of which we ax-e integrally a part, has joined fox*ces to meet the px'oblems of common welfax*e and of public need. That joining of forces i s called the United Fund. And we,

FUND DRIVE PLANNED — Hard at work on plans for this year’s fund-raising drive, sponsored by B’nai B’rith Women, Chapter 324, are ways and means chairman Mrs. Sam Klegmer and her co-chairmen. Climax of the drive will be an original musical show to be presented at the Columbia Club Oct. 31. Working on the project are (left to right, foreground) Mrs. Morris Mitchell and Mrs. Sam Klegmer.

Solofkin Memorial A monument in memory of Tony Solotkin was unveiled Oct. 3 at 2 p.m. at Shara Tefilla Cemetery. Rabbi Moses H. Magnes officiated at the service.

A probably apocryphal story runs, that the miners of Last Chance Gulch wanted a more dignified name for their camp. After much debate they decided to give the camp the name of the only respectable white woman in the Gulch — Mrs. Gumpertz Goldberg, whose name was Helena.

Mrs. Robex’t Gordon, Mrs. Marty Kroot, Mrs. Gerald Lewis, Mrs. Sam Prager, and Mrs. William

Leventhal.

For reservations call Mrs. Edgar Goldwasser at CL 1-1131 or Mrs. Isidore Rochlin at CL 1-5921. Jewish War Vets List Plans For Membership Drive Michael A. Cohen, Commander of the Jewish War Veterans, Indianapolis Post 114, has announced plans for the annual membership drive of the organization. Commander Cohen stressed the necessity for an active membership in order to carry out the planned activities of the coming year. He said that many of the veterans in the Jewish community would be contacted during the drive. Cohen said that November activities of the organization would include a Veterans’ Day program and pax-ticipation in “Know Ypur America Week”, Nov. 19-25. Any veteran interested in membership should call Stanley B. Miller, senior vice-commander at Cl. 1-5934 or Me. 3-5512.

like evexy other citizen, are now called upon to support wholeheartedly the United Fund and the 74 services which depend xipon i t. The several ox*ganizations it supports, the order it brings out of chaos, the oppoxfunity it gives us to add constx’uctively, for all" o f these we ought to be grateful.” PHILIP ADLER “We have always looked with pxide at the high standards which our Jewish agencies in Indianapolis attain. These agencies ax*e often pointed out as being exemplary. To pex*mit us to maintain these high standards the United Fund has always dealt generously with us. This obligates us to be more than generous in the contributions we make to the United Fund.” RABBI SIDNEY STEIMAN “I feel that the concept that the United Fund is a welfare agency to help the underprivileged is incox*x'ect. Rather it is • an agency to help in sustaining, supporting and initiating communal ei'fox'ls to build a better community through social sexwice. I feel that the Jewish community should support the United Fund because it helps to px-ovide a healthy environment by aiding px^ojects and institutions which provide both a recreational and cultural background for o u r

community.”

FRANK H. NEWMAN “The United Fund is the instrument for meeting the totality of human needs in Indianapolis and deserves the generous support of every resident in our community. In o n e way or another the beneficiary agencies receiving support from the campaign affect our lives. The attainment of the United Fund goal is essential if our community agencies are to operate effectively. Each of us has a direct stake in the Campaign’s success.” WILLIAM SCHLOSS “Members of the Jewish community, as good citizens of Indianapolis, are obligated to support our United Fund of Gx*eater Indianapolis to the max* imum extent of their ability. In addition to supporting many citywide character building agencies, such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Cx*ossx*oads Rehabilitation Center, it also supports many of our local Jewish agencies, such as the Bornstein Home for Jewish Aged, Jewish Community Center, Jewish Social Services and the Jewish Welfax*e Federation, supervisory program for those agencies. Allocations to these organizations exceed $125,000. Our Jewish community organizations have been a part of the Community Chest and United Fund for about 40 years and throughout this period many member's of the Jewish community have contributed to the success of the Community Chest and United Fund through service leadership and generous giving. We all personally receive benefits and services fx'om one or moi'e of the seventy United Fund agencies. When we give generously to the United Fund, we are helping both ourselves and others.
