MATRIC CLASS OF 2013

22

42-63

In this issue, the matrics of 2013 and their principals get
technical about school in the modern day. We explore the
views of these young adults in relation
to their Jewish identities,
find out why competition is
sometimes a good thing, and
look back in time to
when it all began.
