1962 LIFE Magazine Ad "Great Moments in LIFE"

Description: 1962 LIFE MAGAZINE vintage magazine advertisement "Great Moments in LIFE"

~ It had been a bad day in the fourth grade at New York City's P.S. 105. Rhythm band practice had ended in a near-riot. The class was stumped by six plus seven. As his unruly pupils made faces and giggled, teacher Abe Levine vainly called for quiet. "What will I do if you don't learn?" he asked in exasperation. "Drop dead," someone answered. - The class laughed, but it wasn't funny. For crystallized in this moment were all the frustrations, the bitter realities a slum school and a dedicated teacher must face each day. And because photographer Howard Sochurek was there with his camera, it was also a moment later shared by 28 million adult LIFE readers in a hard-hitting 16-page photo essay on slum schools. ~
