ELCHANITE

PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF
YESHIVA UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL

Brooklyn
2270 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 1 1226

Each year, when we came into the school, the
buildings were painted another exotic color,
the floors were a bit shinier and the bulletin
boards a bit barer. But the building was there,
smug and squat, planted on the corner of
Church and Bedford. It wasn't much, but it
aroused a certain defensive pride in the heart
of every student who survived four years there.

The building will finally succumb to an in-
stitution's growing pains and the wrecker's ball.
The Yeshiva will move to more spacious
quarters where the steam will always work and
the water will always run. Twenty-two Seventy
Church Avenue will be vacated, but the time
we spent there in study, and other assorted
pursuits, will be forever etched in our minds.
It is to this building. Twenty-two Seventy
Church Avenue, that we dedicate the Elchanite
1967.

The Administration has worked diligent-
ly to maintain a friendly and productive
atmosphere among both students and
faculty of the Yeshiva. Under the able
leadership of our principal. Rabbi Dr.
Abraham N. ZurofiT, Supervisor of
YUHS. the school has made great strides
in adapting its curriculum to meet the
changing needs of modern education. To
further achieve this goal, Mr. Samuel
Levine, Executive Director of YUHS,
has announced that the Yeshiva will
move to more spacious quarters on Ave.
M and E. 14th St. when construction is
completed.

SOCIAL STUDIES

To fully grasp the significance of many
current happenings it is necessary for
the student to be well acquainted with
the world he inhabits as well as its past
history and culture. The burden of thus
educating the YUHSB student falls in the
hands of our Social Studies Department.
Through a seven term sequence of
Geography. American History, World
History and Economics each pupil
achieves an improved understaading
of civilization — from ancient Nomads
to the modern Technocracy. A newly
instituted curriculum will provide ac-
celerated studies in History, Economics
and Political Science through the use of
new texts and teaching aids.

ENGLISH

Mr. Arthur Arluck

Mr. Joseph Strum

Chairman. Administrative Assisiani

A common culture and means of com-
munication are two prerequisites for
a stable society. The English language
and its literary heritage have helped
form the backbone of today's great
American civilization. YUHSB requires
a four year program encompassing the
major aspects of English and American
literature as well as grammar and usage.
With this sturdy background further
buttressed by occasional films and dra-
matic productions, each student is pre-
pared for rigorous competitive examina-
tions and is able to continue in college
as an erudite and articulate citizen.

MATHEMATICS

Mathematics embodies the spirit of order
and logic. For this reason it has main-
tained great popularity and favor among
the students of YUHSB. Headed by
Rabbi Louis Cooper, our math depart-
ment has been greatly modernized by
the acquisition of new textbooks and
emphasis ,on the latest teaching tech-
niques. In addition to the required three
year program of algebra, geometry and
trigonometry, one term electives in
college algebra and calculus with analyt-
ic geometry are offered to interested
and capable students.

YUHSB offers a full four years of Sci-
ence. All students are required to take
two terms each of General Science and
Biology and a great many also avail
themselves of the elective one year
courses in Chemistry and Physics
offered by the Department. Soon to be
incorporated into the program are re-
vised and updated courses in the Physical
Sciences which will conform to the latest
developments in research. The Science
Faculty has succeeded in transmitting
its knowledge to the student body as is
reflected in Regents and College Board
Achievement Test scores.

FOREIGN

LANGUAGES

To be fully prepared for the conse-
quences of an ever shrinking world, the
Y.U.H.S.B. student goes through a
rigorous six year program in the Semitic
and Romance languages, studying for-
eign literature and culture as well as
vocabulary and grammar. Highlighting
an extremely competent staff is Profes-
sor Maurice Marshal who has developed
his own, novel approach to teaching the
French language. Through the use of
his system he has achieved gratifying
results on the three year Regents,
Achievement and Advanced Placement

Through a two year program of minors, the
Y.U.H.S.B. student rounds out his high school
education. Music and art courses adminis-
trated by a talented staff teach him to use his
senses and develop a greater appreciation of
beauty. He develops his body under the direction
of the Physical Education Department through
the use of its superior athletic and gymnastic
facilities which include weightlifting and box-
ing apparatus as well as numerous basketball
courts and football fields. In the extremely
popular Drivers Education course he learns to
handle the responsibilities of driving an auto-
mobile and benefits from reduced insurance
rates.

Financial Secretary

Nisson Berlin, Office Assistant,
Concession Head

Secretary, typist, dispenser of admits
and free advice, Mrs. Yetta Rosenman
bore her taxing burden well enough to
earn the respect and admiration of the
entire student body. Assisting her, the
ubiquitous and indispensable Nisson
Berlin, a YUHSB graduate, was respon-
sible for every piece of food and printed
matter that appeared in school. Mrs.
Sarah Shapiro, secretary to the Office of
the Bursar, had the formidable task of
keeping the school's communications
network, financial papers and other
pecuniary activities in working order.

MAINTENANCE

Surmounting the insurmountable, our
Maintenance Department, piloted by the
father and son team of Gonsalo and
Edgardo Laboy succeeded in keeping our
rooms and hallways spotless. They
labored assiduously, employing liberal
doses of elbow grease, ammonia water,
plaster and putty to handle the daily
exigencies of school maintenance while
disseminating wisdom and philosophy
along the way.

Stan, probably the only student ever
to go through an entire year without
owning a Gemmorah, was left no worse

year.

Phineas, whose physique did much to
make him the terror of the backyard

for us and himself for four years. One of
the few to stick it out with Moe for six

Equally adept in the sciences, Jake will

Howie, a staunch believer in the con-

four years in T.A. to demonstrating how
they could be mixed. When not occupied
at the hoops or in the G.O. Casino, he
was impressing Rabbi Fink with his
Hasmodoh. A member of Bnei Akiva,
Howie hopes to spend a year on a
Kibbutz in the Holy Land.

n the beginning . . .

" You will find that your stay here will
be an /«deed unique experience ..."
Boy this place is a dump — good thing we're
moving next year . . . We meet: Doc, who pities
our fathers and cares for our Jewish souls . . .
Yoc, who warns us not to become fanatics . . .
Rock, who warns of "stiflP' Shulchan Aruch test
. . . and Baron, who laments Reader's Guide
omission of his favorite periodical . . .

Doc: " B'nee, don't think I know what you're
doing."

Y.D. starts all out campaign against the S.S.
Shalom — After all, "We've gotta sink the Shalom
'cause the world depends on us." . . . We start
collecting money for the Elchy (never quite
finish) . . . Bernie introduces us to Rivkeleh, the
typical Central girl — null set .. .

Bo (to Billet): "You always have to get the
last paragraph in, don't you?"

Simple Simon: "Now this isn't a study peri-
od."

Start a club and get yellow Y's . . . Intramural
High School Bowl initiated. Yet unanswered:
How far away is Uranus? . . . Tzedakah drive:
"A nickel a day keeps the Rock away" — so Mel
sinks his nickel into Reb's tea from twenty feet
out . . . Why does Bob always keep one hand
under duh desk? . . . Kessler dismisses class to
give Reiss a make-up exam . . .

Lessel: " Close your minds and listen ..."
Simple Simon counts final as six quizzes (with
five lowest marks to be dropped) — pleads with us
to pass — "How will I explain it to the office?. . .
Get half-wit with a FuUbright who tells us (for
our own sakes) to laugh at his jokes — Gets
laughed at for next five months . . . Simple Simon
legalizes cheating . . . Y.D. gags on "Oihyyin"
. . . Bob takes over geography class — teaches it
as well as he teaches English. Food for thought:
What does onychogryposis mean? . . .

Doc: "B'nee, I will explain it immediately,
later on."

We hand in next day's G.S. homeworks to Bo be-
fore end of period — afraid we might lose them
. . . Ort writes humorous composition on the
bubonic plague . . . Herskovitz's lineage traced
back to Yeravam ben N'vaht . . . Simple Simon
seats class in the round — gets attacked from all
sides . . .

FuUbright: "/ suppose you also have a test in
Sodom tomorrow."

Bob gives sixty-four question essay test in last
twenty minutes of class — "Cause duh men was
obstreperous." . . . Go on class trip to World's
Fair — we have to vouch for Bernie at the ticket
booth . . . Faivushevitz gives his first final in
eighteen years — ten points for each correct an-
swer, one point off" for each wrong one — Gabe
gets caught cheating and fails with a ninety-
four . . .

Press: " Now fehhlazzz ..."
Bob finds out that Applesauce, Baum, Beekman,
Billinsky, Gruber, Seeghal, and Schlamberg,
aren't in the class. Gives hints about the final to
save face . . . Biannual T.L. the Freshie week
comes and we elect Schleifer Veep on a write-in
. . Given choice of French or French . . . Second
term over . . . Four more to go ... Good thing
we won't be in this hole much longer, since we're
moving soon . . . Purjes, Rothman, Brenner and
Farmer (or so we thought) lose patience and
leave . . .

90PH0M0RE

Seems we'll be holed up for another year as
YUHSB still hasn't moved . . . Rock again? —
you're kidding! . . . Have a big "letdown" as a
suave American citizen replaces the inimitable
Monsieur Mashal; however, we are soon to learn
that Mr. MaRshal is as capable and authorita-
tive as his predecessor . . .

Moe: "Don't try to fool me around." . . . or . .

Moe: " When ah say something, ah do mean it."

Billet: " You didn't mean that. Monsieur."

Moe: "Ah never mean what ah say."
ANZ continues to serve us not only as a princi-
pal, but as a friend . . .

Goldwag: "I'm in trouble with Mr. Mar-
shal."

ANZ: "Are you wearing your tzitzis?"
No matter how friendly he would like to get, the
Rabbi must maintain his image of strength . . .

ANZ: "Roth, have you been behaving yourself

lately?"

Roth: "Yes."

M^Z:"Why?"
Bathroom passes come and go ... Feldman
takes Bo's and comes back with a haircut . . .
We complain to ANZ that despite our attempts
we can't look up to Rabbi Shmidman . . . Tze-
dakah drive starts again — Why is a paperback
disguised as Wyatt Earp so popular anyway?
. . . Epstein throws out Siegel ...

Drillman: "Eh, I don't want to twist anyone's
arm. If you want to give, give."
Zelo impresses the few of us who have him as a
pillar of strength . . .

Zelo: "May I know what's so funny. Kron-
en berg?"

Kronenberg: "No."
or . . . Zelo: "I'll crack you in the face so hard
that you'll feel it!"

December 2, 1965: Septy smiles . . . Doc offers
his friendship by trying to become one of the
boys . . .

Goldwag: "Doc, can I go to the bathroom?"

Doc: " Wait five minutes and we will all go to-
gether."

What does Arluck use his comb for? . . .
TRIP: After discussing suggestions such as
Prospect Park or Central, we decide to go to
Philadelphia — Our open-air school bus makes it
there four hours late — Guide (to Siegel): "Sir,
would you please lead your class ..."

Mr. Joseph Slrum, Advisor, Student Council.

Commencing its activities under the
competent leadership of fall term Presir|
dent David Portowicz, this year's Gen-
eral Organization had a most successful
season.

The General Organization provided the
student body with various assemblies
ranging from a debate among repre-
sentatives from the Democratic. Re-
publican and Liberal parties on the
gubernatorial campaign to a discourse
by a stockbroker from Merril, Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner and Smith on the fi-
nancial system of the U.S. Other assem-
blies included talks on sound, radio, and
light waves by members of the Bell
Laboratories executive board, open stu-
dent council meetings, various debating

SPRING TERM

and High School Bowl meets and a bas-
ketball rally.

Pres. Portowicz innovated the first suc-
cessful club program featuring basket-
ball instruction, science, radio, math.
Public Speaking and Zionism clubs. The
clubs proved to be invaluable to the
underclassmen who jammed their re-
spective rooms every Sunday afternoon.
Other highlights of the fall term were
the hilarious Chanuka Chagiga and the
amending and distribution of the G.O.
constitution.

After serving as Veep during the 7th
term, Phil Orbuch was ready to assume
all the responsibilities of a president dur-
ing the 8th term. The Spring Term CO.,
under his leadership, piled up a merito-

rious list of accomplishments. An in-
teresting assembly program was high-
lighted by a Bell Telephone demonstra-
tion, and a very amusing Varsity-Fac-
ulty H.S. Bowl match. These special
assemblies did a more than ample job
in supplementing the regular debate and
career opportunities symposia.

Pres. Orbuch with the help of Vice-
President Stuart Francis has made some
welcome innovations in G.O. activities.
Movies were shown for the students
amusement during lunchtime and each
of the four classes was treated to an
interesting trip. The most important
event of the year was the seniors trip
to Washington which was successfully
arranged by a committee appointed and
headed by President Orbuch. For the first
time, the G.O. openly took a stand on
important issues in the form of petitions
protesting antishechita legislation and
compulsory autopsies.

Responsible for the coordination of all
YUHSB's religious activities, the Yesh-
iva Organization Commission, under the
leadership of H. Pincus and L. Karp,
carried through a very successful pro-
gram. Included under its aegis are the
Minyan, Kashruth Commission, and
Tzedakah drive.

The Minyan led by adviser Rabbi S.
Faivushevitz, H. Pincus, and E. Singer
is attended by sixty boys each morning.
After the davening, breakfast is served
by the Elchanite Concession.

A major undertaking of the YOC is
Tzedakah. Once again the annual charity
drive collected over $1000 for worthy
charities.

Arista, our honor students' organization,
consists of a group of select young men.
All have attained excellence in both
Talmudic and Secular studies and are of
course Buei Torah.

Under the imaginative and dynamic
leadership of Aaron Siegel during the
Fall term, the Arista Presidency rose to
new heights. The meetings, intellectually

stimulating, taught us as much about our
heritage as did our four years inside the
walls of the Yeshiva. The term was cli-
maxed by the elections of the next term's
officers. The Spring term was headed by
David Portowicz, and was highlighted by
our trips to IBM and the induction of the
new Arista members.

Taking over this year as advisor to Arista
was Rabbi Yaacov Dardac, Instructor of
Torah. It may be safely stated that Rabbi

BULLETIN

Designed to provide a weekly review of school
news and events, the Bulletin has become the
most popular of YUHSB's publications. This
year's volume boasts a perfect publication
record, having appeared every week through-
out the school year, and often twice or three
times weekly with special editions.

Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief David
Kaufman and Editorial Advisor Melvin Silberk-
lang the Bulletin introduced many innovations:
the page length was increased to fourteen
inches, separate weekly news, editorial and
sports pages became standard, and supplements
to these pages were included when necessary.
Editorials struck out at administration, faculty
and students, and constantly carried the banner
of improvement and reform. In addition, each
Bulletin was brightened by the Last Week col-
umn which offered a satirical review of the
week's fiascoes. The end of each term saw this
column claim an entire page with the presen-
tation of the Bulletin Dubious Achievement
Awards.

Surmounting formidable financial and
personnel difficulties, the Topics ap-
peared four times during the school
year, and underwent numerous technical
improvements and innovations.

Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief
David Kaufman and Managing Editor
Melvin Silberklang, the paper expanded
its page format from four to five columns
and incorporated many unusual and ex-
citing layouts through the use of bold
headlines and photographs. For the first
time in its fourteen year history, the
Topics included a cartoon strip entitled
Simon Says, which appeared as a regular
feature. As per tradition, a satirical
Purim Topics, The Yunuk, made its
clandestine appearance at the Purim
Chagiga to the equal delight of students
and faculty.

The Yuspeaks, our varsity debating
team, enjoyed its most successful sea-

history. Under the leadership of Stuart
Francis, the team compiled an amazing
undefeated record. The team's record
of victories is particularly impressive
following last year's bottom notch finish
in the standings. The squad's success
may be attributed to much hard work on
the part of its members coupled with
Francis' numerous innovations, among
them a research squad and a junior var-
sity team. As a result, the Yuspeaks
experienced better coordination and
more team effort than ever before.

Although High School Bowl has been a func-
tioning activity for only three years, it has al-
ready established itself as the school's most
popular non-athletic pursuit. Led by Co-cap-
tains Jack Flamholz and Leon Karp, the Yu-
brain squad, rounded out by Manager Howard
Lindenauer and William Schechter, bettered
last year's record and finished in second place
with eight wins against two losses, both coming
at the hands of first place Flatbush.

Highpoints of the season included a thrilling
double-header victory over MTA and lopsided
triumphs over HILL 540 — 70 and Ramaz,
500 — 90. The Yubrains also accomplished a
heretofore unheard of feat, shutting out Man-
hattan Central 360 — 0. In the traditional Fac-
ulty game Mssrs. Sanders, Zuckerman, Brand
and Rosenman were defeated by the Varsity,
280—235.

Aside from the Varsity slate, there is com-
petition on the intramural level. This year,
under the direction of Howard Lindenauer, the
intramural program was successfully and effi-
ciently completed.

The library is one of the most important
school services. Containing a large and
varied collection of non-fiction, fiction,
biography and reference, it amply serves
the entire student body, and has annual
circulation of over one thousand vol-
umes. The total library staff comprises
almost 12% of the student body. Serving
on the various squads, these students
gain both service credits and valuable
experience in leadership and library
skills.

Under the leadership of Supervisor
Joel Traube and Co-heads David Reiss
and Melvin Silberklang, the library staff
this year was better organized, and a
maintenance squad was created. The

library's inventory was substantially in-
creased through two Government book
grants under Title II and Title III of the
federal education law, and the acquisi-
tion of textbooks through the New York
State Textbook Loan. The library is
advised by Mr. Robert Bassell.

Supplying the spiritual and religious ref-
erence and circulation volumes for the
student body, this year's Hebrew Library
was ably headed by faculty advisor Rabbi*
J. Epstein. The library collection also
contains many modern Hebrew novels
and magazines and an extensive collec-
tion of historic volumes worth thou-
sands of dollars.

^\ <S A

"This Chagiga was the best ever". These words
could be heard echoing throughout the school after
the Chanuka Cha-Go-Go, headed by N. Nekrich,
and co-headed by M. Goldberg and S. Roth. The
only thing that was better was the Purim Chagiga.

The Chanuka Chagiga was highlighted by the band
under N. Nekrich, the Glee Club, and of course the
Skit. The skit, "Moe-Ella", was performed in the
true spirit of past Chagigot. The Glee Club, led by
G. Lefkovitz, J. Appleman, and S. Rosenthal sang
a medley of songs, and the Ol' Professor, in the
person of Harold Baumgarten, made his appear-
ance.

The Purim Chagiga, which was better than the best,
drew more faculty than any Chagiga in the past
decade. After an introduction by the President, the
show got underway with a series of Glee Club selec-
tions. Rabbi Wolfson, who received the "Good Guy
of the Year" award to the unanimous delight of the
audience, addressed the student body about the

Untouched by human hands

meaning of Purim. The band put on a one half hour
show, drawing a thunderous ovation. The skit,
highlight of the Chagiga, was entitled; "What Did
You Do In the War Rabbi Dr.? or. It's getting Kind
of Drafty." It provided a biting look at student
deferments.

Following tradition, the classic soda and sandwich
dinner was served the audience at both Chagigot.
The auditorium was festively decorated and the
Yunuk made its appearance at the close of the Purim
festivities.

Under the patient and watchful eye of
rookie coach Irv Bader, the Yugars em-
barked on what promised to be a most
successful season. Unfortunately, an un-
timely injury to Yugar Co-captain Gary
Sprung had a detrimental effect on his
playing. Undaunted, the Yugars, minus
Sprung, chalked up a victory in the sea-
son opener against RJJ. But the taste of
victory was short lived as the Yugars
suffered a 70 — 41 trouncing at the hands
of a strong MTA five. Recovering from
this crushing defeat, the Yugars bounced
back to wage successful campaigns
against Flatbush, Ramaz, Rogosin and
Elizabeth while bowing 53 — 45 in an up-
set to HILI at the victors' court. At mid-
season the Yugars' 5 — 2 record found
them in second place.

During the holiday break, the Yugars re-
turned to HILI for the HILI Invitational
Tournament. Out to avenge their pre-
vious loss, our hoopsters whipped the
HILI squad. Captain Joel Friedman col-
lecting 29 points and the MVP in the
process.

Returning to regular season play, the
Yugars journeyed to the Bronx deter-
mined to end MTA's winning streak.
Paced by the hustle and heads up play of
Menachem Taubus, Willie Weinrib and
Irv Wizenfeld, they sent the Lions to the
halftime lockers trailing by eleven points.
The Yugar lead continued through the
third quarter, but Lion strength began
to show early in the final period and
MTA took the encounter 67 — 54. With
their eye on the Garden, the Yugars
fought on taking two from YCQ, drop-
ping a heartbreaker to Elizabeth and
topping RJJ to round out the season with
an 8 — 4 record and second place berth.

proved invaluable to the team. Credit is
also due the varsity managers, and Simon
Farkas and Ira Feldman who gave of
their time to collect money and tickets
at the home gate.

The playoffs pitted the Yugars against
the Flatbush Falcons. No Yugar fan
doubted an imminent victory. The
Falcons put up a strong fight for points
throughout the game, but an unrelenting
drive maintained the Yugar lead to the
very last minutes of the battle. At that
point, an unfortunate scoring error re-
moved star center and rebounder Alan
Lebenbaum from play. Disheartened,
the team then faced the loss of Captain
Friedman and gave up their five point
lead to end regulation play at 55 all. The
game was lost in overtime, and for the
Yugars, the season was over.

ently Director of Athletics at YUHSB,

The Aquamen in their 1967 edition were
one of the most successful of YUHSB's
varsity teams. Faced with the problem
of hardening rookie swimmers, Co-
Captains Joel Yarmak and Mike Kline
accomplished an admirable feat. By
securing two excellent coaches, Matty
Monheit and Nathan Presser, both
former Aquamen, the captains provided
the moral boost which helped the team
at every practice and helped them pre-
pare for every meet. Only Flatbush
failed to fall before the might as the
Aquamen ended the season in second
place.

The improvements in team management

this year are due to the efforts of both
Captains, the coaches and the Aqua-
men's manager, Harold Baumgarten.
The Erasmus Hall High School pool was
secured for midweek practices while the
Flatbush Boys' Club pool, as in past
years, was used for Friday practices and
for meets. All swimmers were timed
regularly and careful records were kept
of each week's times, providing each
team member with a weekly goal to
surpass. The guelling weekly practices
and the expert guidance and coaching
of Monheit and Presser gave the Aquamen
the edge they needed for victory.

A brilliant YUHSB Softball team,
favored to win the championship, is
guided by the fine pitching and sharp
play of "all around athlete" Irv Wizen-
feld and the experience and wide-spread
baseball knowhow of Steve Gish. The
aggressive play of several three year men
rounded off the well balanced combina-
tion of power-hitting, expert fielding and
Strongly co-ordinated team work.

The Track team, captained by a powerful
triumvirate, has to its credit a fleet-
footed track division and a solid field
squad. It is obvious that the team will
feel the loss of Bill Schechter's powerful
arm in the shot put next year, Neil
Nekrich's inexhaustible power as a
sprinter and Steve Roth's gifted legs in

It seems strange to be here again. Perhaps the
city heads desired my company to wreck this
place because they knew I was familiar with its
structure. Twelve years have passed since I last
saw this edifice, and I can still picture its in-
terior.

By the time my eyes get used to the dim light
in this locker room. I will be able to recall
which locker I occupied in my high school days.
In twelve years, this room hasn't changed a bit.

gym, and the booming voice of the coach fran-
tically yelling pre-game instructions. I remem-

entrance each Saturday night during the season,
trying to seem confident as I cautiously scanned
the third row stands for the sight of my proud
father, who was always there to watch me play.
The hot, five-hundred watt lamps that blinded
me whenever I stepped up to take a foul shot
have been replaced by long rows of cool fluores-
cent tubes.

Going up the massive staircase to the first floor,
every inch of shiny bannister and ornate wains-
coting is familiar. Only the fact that these
halls are deserted produces a feeling of unfamili-
arity. Gone is the babbling laughter and ani-
mated conversation that once filled this hall;

only the soft patter of my footsteps can be
heard. The sight of old, carved wooden desk-
chairs strikes me as I walk past the classrooms.
The cracked, unerased blackboards seem to
radiate all the wisdom that had been chalked
upon them for so long. The large clocks at the
front of each room, eagerly watched by hun-
dreds of students as the end of each day ap-
proached, no longer function. Several yellow
sheets are atop the teacher's desk in every room;
floor plans of the school, studied by the wreck-
ing crews, who are preparing their equipment
outside. It is hard to imagine that this building
can be destroyed. Even when deserted it seems

to be alive. The walls, plastered with yellowing
posters, appear to be capable of eternally
breathing life into the musty classrooms. Great
structures like this aren't demolished — they die.

The auditorium on the second floor appears
unusually large. That is, perhaps, because the
large stage and ebony grand piano have been
removed. The sonorous tones of the piano can
still be heard, haunting the bare walls. The long
rows of seats have been removed, but the wide,
unusual strips of terrazzo tile that covered the
aisles still shine brightly in the strong afternoon
sunlight that streams through the huge windows.
The windows themselves seem too large for the
hall, for they have been stripped of their dark
green draperies. The harsh noise of an air com-
pressor shatters the silence and snaps me out
of my nostalgic trance.

I slowly leave the building and head for my car.
Reluctantly, I activate the radio unit, and in-
struct the crane operator to begin. Each time
the heavy ball strikes the domed brick wall, a
piece of my heart is swept away. But the mem-
ory of the silent halls will never be forgotten.

I cannot run — I cannot hide.
Not because of love or pride.
But fear — the cold and honest kind —
The kind one gets just when he finds
The world — so cold — was colder still
When ovens — hungering souls — were filled
With lives and loves and thoughts and tears
And cries for all the future years
That won't be lived and won't shine bright
For millions — each a flickering light
That with the door shut tight by crazy
Murderers, a wind so lazy

And indifferent snuffed out souls
And blew out oh so many coals
An awful deed that ten years hence.
Will be forgotten by the tense
And nervous folk who care for money
And success — And oh, it's funny!
For doors that close can open again
And close once more and brother, then
Those sleeping nerves of fear will wake
But, then it will be much too late
And once again we'll hear a cry
As brother watches brother die.

Upon its face a world unknown
The enigmatic depths of calm and cold.
Upon the expanse of its splashing drone,
A man and his boat, oh! brave and bold.

But lo! The calm is dispersed.

The tranquility cast aside.

Fury and frenzy, slight at first.

An abundance of waves, a stronger tide.

The forces of Neptune completely freed.
The small raft struggles to stay afloat.
The speck of life, the adventurer's seed,
Holds ever so dearly to its wretched boat.

The turbulence grows.

The struggle continues,
It will be to the death.
With straining sinews,
Life loses its breath.

He can't go on.
His life must cease.
Life must be death;
Never peace.

The man dies;
His soul leaves.
Forever forgotten —
The sea is appeased.

Each one with hate 'graved on his face,
Each one with gun in hand.

The seconds drew into the clear
Should bullet err in flight.
A voice began the fatal count
As day replaced the night.

The voice continued, "four . . . five . . six"
The enemies drew apart.
Each one with grim resolve stepped back.
Each one with fear in heart.

The voice continued, "eight . . . nine . . . ten'
They turned, each shot one round.
Where once two men did breathe G-d's air
One lay upon the ground.

WHERE

Joel Friedman

Time is a fast and flighty thing
That's always on the run
Racing on its merry way
Like bullets from life's gun.

Where do the minutes travel?

What happens to the hours?

And do the days and weeks and months

Hide out in secret bowers?

Where go the long, lost yesteryears?
That swiftly passed all men?
Do they fade into nothingness
Or are they born again?

;

Our building's usefulness has come to an
end. No longer will we or others like us
learn and find enjoyment here. But use-
fulness and life don't always go hand in
hand. YUHSB will be remembered by
sixty-seven boys and many, many others
as a little red building at the corner of
Church and Bedford. In this remem-
brance there is life.
