municate with most of the
young people he met. He car
ried many a new friend on the
back of his cycle to share his
adventures and expenses.
Bearded and rugged, Sep
tember found him ready for
school, but not ready for the
teaction of his fellow Ameri
can students who found it hard
to believe that he was just a
boy from Atlanta, Georgia “of
all places!”
Thanks to the junior year
school program, jerold lived
in Paris with a French family
in a comfortable apartment on
the outskirts of the city, and
by then his fluent French en
abled him to participate fully
in all the programs offered by
the University of Paris in
cluding a class in modern
dancing where he was the
only male student with some
30 French girls. Wow!
His year abroad over, Jerold
returned to Atlanta and Emory
University for the summer. He
devoted his spare time to as
sisting his mother in the design
and construction of a marquee
for the Harlequin Theater.
The motif of the Harlequin
inspired him to execute a Har
lequin in metal mosaic which
he carried back to exhibit in
Kirby Theater at Amherst Col
lege. When displayed in Kirby
Theater this mosaic metal Har
lequin brought him the offer
of a course in metal sculptur
ing at Mt. Holyoke College, a
women’s college which has a
joint art program with Am
herst College, a school for men.
Jerold became the prize stu
dent of and assistant to Leon
ard Delonga. formerly profes
sor of sculpturing at the Uni
versity of Georgia.
After only one year of
formal training in the art of
oxyacetylene metal sculptur
ing under Mr. Delonga, jerold
had his work accepted by the
Arts Festival of Atlanta. He
won a $350.00 purchase award
for his “Iron Carousel” which
will be placed on permanent
display in a public building
when the placement commit
tee of the festival makes its
decision.
The final quarter of his
senior year- at Amherst has
been a busy one with Jerold
participating in a dance fes
tival at nearby Smith College
for women when they needed
some male dancers as well as
completing a bronze casting of
“Moses With The Tablets” and
another metal creation repre
senting “Bearers of the Sho-
fars.”
Jerold’s parents Mr. and
Mrs. Norman Frankel are
looking forward to his return
to Atlanta for the summer,
but he has already warned
them that he will be busy
with plans for equipping a
studio big enough for some
welding equipment he needs
for his sculpturing.
“We expect a very noisy
summer”, said Mrs. Frankel
“But there’s always something
going on when he’s around.”
September • will see Jerold
Frankel off again for Massa
chusetts, but this time it will
be to attend Harvard School of
Dental Medicine where new
challenges await this talented
and versatile young man.
FROM A CARIBBEAN
REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK
by BEN G FRANK
(A Seven Arts Feature)
In the days of adventure, the
Caribbean Sea was the "Span
ish Main."
Today, thousands of Jewish
tourists are flocking to the
sunny beaches of Puerto Rico,
to calypso enchanting ports as
Trinidad, St. Thomas and
Curacao.
And these very same tour
ists are finding that Jewish
communities have existed here
for 200 to 300 years.
Moreover, any tourist worth
his salt listens and observes
not only the past but the
prerent.
The following are quotes
and observations made after a
swing through the Caribbean.
“I betcha most of the people
on this beach are Jewish,”
said one American Jewish girl
about the famous Condado
beach section in San Juan,
Puerto Rico. According to hotel
managers here she’s far from
wrong.
Many Jewish refugees from
Castro's Cuba have settled in
Puerto Rico. “They all can’t go
to Miami.” said one Caribbean
resident. “And, besides,” he
added, “they know the lan
guage. and the climate is
similar to that of Cuba.”
The most popular item in the
menu at the Red Rooster in
i he fashionable tourist Con-
dado beach section: “Bagel-
lita." What else, but bagels,
lox and cream cheese.
Like the theory that Jews
don't drink, the idea that Jews
don’t gamble is shattered on
the enchanting island of Puer
to Rico where more than half
