One  of  the  biological  processes  of  all  living  things  is 
growth.  An  educational  institution  is,  in  its  own  way, 
also  a  living  thing  and,  as  such,  it  must  also  grow.  It 
must  mature  and  develop,  and  strive  to  reach  its  full 
potential.  This  past  year,  we  were  privileged  to  wit- 
ness a  great  stride  forward  in  YU MSB's  growth,  a  change 
of  buildings.  Although  sadness  and  a  sense  of  home- 
sickness for  our  old  abode  clouded  our  first  days  in  the 
new  building,  it  wasn't  long  before  we  became  accli- 
mated and  proceeded  to  make  use  of  the  more  modern 
facilities  and  more  spacious  quarters  to  enrich  our  edu- 
cational experience.  The  old  building  will  always  have  a 
niche  in  our  hearts,  but  we  must  give  equal  space  to  the 
new  one.

Our  first  three  years  were  spent  in  the  little 
red schoolhouse  at  2270  Church  Avenue.  In  this 
building's  halls  we  laid  the  foundations  for  our 
future  educational,  business,  and  professional 
endeavors.

A I  1277  East  14  Street,  we  ended  our  high 
school  years  and  brought  to  a  close  the  ado- 
lescent period  of  our  lives.  Within  its  walls  we 
matured  physically  and  mentally,  and  girded 
ourselves  to  face  the  challenges  of  the  world.

This  year,  as  promised  for  so  long,  YUHSB 
for  Boys  moved  into  new  surroundings  at 
Avenue  M  and  East  Fourteentii  Street. 
Faced  with  all  the  problems  of  moving  into 
new  facilities,  the  administration  ably  met 
and  solved  them.  Led  by  Rabbi  Dr.  Abra- 
ham N.  Zuroff  and  Executive  Director 
Samuel  Levine,  the  administration  has  also 
continued  to  work  diligently  with  students 
to  find  ways  of  incorporating  modern-day 
beliefs  into  Yeshiva  life.

ENGLISH 


Stressing  the  ever-present  need  for  communication,  the 
linglish  faculty  of  YUHSB  strives  to  teach  us  the  skill- 
ful use  of  both  the  written  and  the  spoken  word.  The 
Hnglish  staff  attempts  to  enhance  the  student's  knowl- 
edge in  the  fields  of  grammar,  composition,  and  English 
and  American  literature.  Through  the  four-year  course, 
the  student  also  gains  valuable  practice  for  such  com- 
petitive exams  as  the  College  Boards  and  Achievement 
tests.

To  fully  understand  the  present  world,  a  student  must 
be  given  a  good  idea  of  the  past.  This  task  falls  in  the 
domain  of  our  Social  Studies  Department.  Through  seven 
terms  of  geography,  world  history,  American  history 
and  economics,  the  capable  staff,  chaired  by  Mr.  Isidore 
Rosenman,  has  successfully  given  the  students  an  educa- 
tion which  will  guide  them  through  the  murky  waters  of 
our  complex  world.  Newly  added  courses  this  year  in 
Advanced  Placement  American  History  and  Political 
Science  are  intended  to  enable  students  to  further  their 
knowledge  in  social  studies.

With  the  increasing  emphasis  on  technology  and 
with  the  coming  of  the  age  of  computers,  the 
need  for  an  understanding  of  mathematics  has 
become  essential.  Our  competent  Mathematics 
Department,  chaired  by  Rabbi  Louis  Cooper,  has 
done  much  to  give  YUHSB  students  a  deep 
understanding  of  what  they  have  learned.  Be- 
sides the  required  three  years  of  math,  interested 
students  may  continue  their  learning  by  taking 
such  electives  as  Advanced  Algebra  and  Cal- 
culus. Newly  added  Advanced  Placement  Calcu- 
lus, is  now  offered  for  the  most  capable  students 
in  mathematics.

SCIENCE 


Mr.  Albert  Tarendash,  Physics 


Our  Science  Department  has  changed  according 
to  the  times.  Housed  in  new,  modern  laboratories 
and  demonstration  rooms,  given  new  syllabi  and 
new  booics,  YUHSB  students  can  now  ac- 
quire a  much  greater  depth  in  the  sciences.  Al- 
though only  General  Science  and  Biology  are 
required,  the  majority  of  the  students  take  ad- 
vantage of  the  opportunity  to  learn  both  Chem- 
istry and  Physics.  Many  students  have  gone  on 
to  major  in  the  sciences  because  of  the  en- 
couragement they  have  received  from  their  edu- 
cation at  YUHSB.

The  foreign  language  courses  in  YUHSB  have  come  to 
play  an  important  role  in  the  student's  curriculum. 
Besides  the  three  years  of  Hebrew  and  one  year  of  either 
Jewish  Philosophy  or  Jewish  History,  the  students  are 
required  to  take  two  years  of  French.  This  year,  un- 
fortunately, the  opportunity  to  take  a  third  year  of 
French  was  discontinued.  However,  thanks  to  an  ac- 
celerated course,  the  students  have  gained  much  knowl- 
edge, not  only  in  the  grammatical  structure  of  the 
language,  but  also  in  the  cultural  and  literary  aspects  of 
it.

into  one  gave  Monsieur  real  French 
"nuchas".  Three  years  of  math  home- 
work and  doodling  done  during  Rabbis 
Shussheim  and  Drillman's  classes  will 
surely  help  him  in  an  electrical  engineer-

Barry  made  up  for  time  lost  in  Ezra 
by  dousing  us  with  his  energetic  per- 
sonality for  three  years.  A  "learner"  in 
the  102-103  set,  he  put  his  energy  to 
use  on  several  of  the  varsity  sports 
teams  and  as  the  scourge  of  the  park  on 
Locust  Avenue.  Barry  will  leave 
Y.V.H.S.B.B.  and  Y.U.H.S.B.G.  for  four 
years  at  our  mother  institution.

Hesh  and  his  jolly  sense  of  humor 
added  a  sparkle  to  many  a  dull  day.  As 
the  first  sophomore  ever  in  a  Chagiga, 
he  used  his  talents  to  keep  us  enter- 
tained at  the  Chagigas  portraying  both 
the  "Old  Philosopher"  and  a  certain 
rolly-poly  chemistry  teacher.  Hesh  will 
follow  his  model's  path  by  majoring  in 
Chem  at  Brooklyn.

An  unlikely  member  of  C.T.O.T.,  "his 
majesty  the prez"  commuted  between  the 
candy  store  and  our  sister  school  with 
brief  stopovers  at  1277.  Although  oc- 
cupied with  the  G.O.  and  the  Elchanite, 
David  managed  to  find  time  to  learn 
Yiddish  in  the  tea  club.  The  only  senior 
to  drive  a  Caddy,  he  will  accelerate 
down  the  path  of  Hippocrates.

we  thought  we  were  in  B.T.A.  Oh,  well!  .  .  . 
We  catch  a  glimpse  of  the  future  as  we  meet 
Ollie  and  his  many  chins, 
and  Bernie,  who  teaches 
us  how  to  count  them 
.  .  .  Hmmm.  who's  the 
Reb  with  613  hairs  on 
his  head?  .  .  .  We  quickly 
learn  that  misconduct 
will  be  met  by  stern  and 
harsh  discipline  when 
our  neighborly  whispers 
in  class  are  immediately 
hushed  by  the  formid- 
able voice  of  our  youth- 
ful mathematics  mentor: 
"Aw,  c'mon,  guys!  Fel- 
las, fellas!"  and  by  the 
tortuous  punishments  of

gogue: "Zero  for  the  fol- 
lowing spaces." .  .  .  Y.D.: 
"Hmm,  who  will  recite

displays  his  sports  acumen  as  he  asks  us: 
"What's  the  score  in  the  World  Series?"  Stu-

dent: "Sixth."  Metz:  "Who's  playing?"  .  .  .  R. 
Cooper  threatens  to  punish  class  by  announc-

Moe:  " Eef  Ah  catch

rounds  of  the  Junior

Freshie:  "Boy.  it  smells 
in  here."  Zuck:  "Only 
since  you  walked  in." 
.  .  .  In  Hebrew  room. 
Cut  Sheet  Boy:  "But  Doc, 
I  don't  need  an  admit." 
.  .  .  Relaxation  begins 
as  Greenblum  "pfum- 
fers"  through  another 
term  .  .  .  Greenblum: 
"Are  your  hands  up,  or 
are  you  airing  your  arm- 
pits?" .  .  .  Moe  tells  us 
that  there  are  two  pur- 
poses to  anagrams:  to 
learn  spelling,  to  learn 
vocabulary,  and  to  be 
able  to  see  words  .  .  . 
Neugut:  "5!"  Class:  "4, 
3,2,1."  Greenblum: 

"Neugut,  see  me  after 
class."  .  .  .  Later  .  .  . 
Greenblum:  "Log  10" 
Class:  "9,8.7."  Wolf  son: 
"Greenblum,      see      me 

after  class."  .  .  .  Cogan  walks  in  wearing  a 
suit.  Zuck:  "I  didn't  know  they  were  putting 
cuffs  on  burlap  bags."  .  .  .  Frimer  sports  a  new 
shirt.  Zuck:  "Frimer,  I  almost  bought  a  shirt 
like  that  but  I  didn't  want  to  break  a  nickel." 
.  .  .  Second  term  is  going  to  be  different.  (Oh 
Yeah?)  .  .  .  Zuck:  "Who's  the  strongest  in  the 
class?"  Helfman:  "Steinberg,  he  can  lick  any-

what  do  you  expect  to  happen?"  .  .  .  Moe  knowl-

flodded.  the  people  fell  down  and  the  houses 
were  killed  .  .  .  Danzig:  "Does  the  law  of  Co-

in  the  back  of  R.  Drill- 
man's  room.  Rock: 
""ShustermanH!  Get 

out!!!  You  can  sing  your 
rock-n'-roll  songs  out- 
side!" .  ■  .  Moe  gives  us 
an  insight  into  the  life 
of  a  great  man:  ""One 
time  when  Einstein  was 
a  small  boy  it  was  very 
cold  outside  and  he 
went  to  sit  at  the  front 
of  the  furnace  to  make 
warm.  But  he  was  sitting 
too  close  and  his  mother  walked  over  to  him 
and  she  said.  "Einstein!  why  are  you  so  close  to 
the  furnace?'  "...  Moe  then  presents  us  with 
a  deep  psychological  problem:  ""What  would 
you  do  if  you  were  on  a  boat  with  both  oJ  your 
parents  and  the  boat  was  sinking  and  you  could 
only  save  one  parent,  who  would  you  save?" 
Student:  "I  would  try  to  procure  the  salvation 
of  both  of  my  progenitors  and  if  I  should  su- 
cumb  to  the  waves,  then  so  be  it."  Moe:  ""No 
that  it  is  not  right.  Who  knows?  Nobody  knows? 
Well.  I  will  tell  you.  This  is  the  answer  given 
bv  a  boy  in  France.  He  said  he  would  try  to 
save  both  parents  and  if  he  failed,  then  they  will 
all  die. "...

Student:  "Mr.  Barrett,  do  you  start  your  calculus  course 

with  differentiation?" 
Mr.  Barrett:  "No,  I  always  start  with  integration." 


Zuck:  "Get  an  admit.  An  admit  from  Berlin  is  worth  no 
admit.  If  you  can't  get  one  from  Mrs.  Rosenman,  get 
one  from  what's  his  name?  Oh,  yeah — Anz." 


Zuck:  "One  judo  chop  can  kill." 

Steinberg:  "How  many  black  belts  do  you  have?" 

Martin:  "He  needs  two  to  get  around  him."

Students  take  time  out  from  studies  to  collect  $5,000

being  the  first  graduating  class  of  the  new  building.  We 
know  better  by  now,  and  resign  ourselves  to  a  graduate 
year  of  fun  and  frolics  at  Church  and  Bedford.

a  new  English  teacher, 
then  he  would  not  tell 
us  that  we  were  fortu-

The  responsibility  of  coordinating  the  numerous  extra- 
curricular activities  lies  in  the  hands  of  the  General  Or- 
ganization. Headed  by  the  Executive  Council,  consisting 
of  the  president,  vice-president,  and  the  secretary- 
treasurer  who  are  elected  biannually,  the  legislative  body 
is  composed  of  two  representatives  from  each  English 
class.  By  holding  meetings  twice  a  month,  the  General 
Organization  was  able  to  cope  with  all  problems  concern- 
ing the  student  body. 

This  year's  G.O.  was  faced  with  the  added  problems  that 
come  with  an  increased  student  body  and  new  surround- 
ings. Commencing  its  activities  under  the  leadership  of 
fall  term  President  David  Wolfson,  this  year's  General 
Organization  proved  to  be  one  of  the  best  ever. 

The  General  Organization  provided  the  students  with 
various  assemblies  ranging  from  a  debate  between  Mel 
Dubin  and  Bertram  Podell,  opponents  in  an  election  for 
Congress,  to  a  demonstration  on  microwaves  given  by 
representatives  of  the  Bell  Telephone  Laboratories.  Sup- 
plementing these  were  the  various  debating  and  high 
school  bowl  assemblies.

novate  the  very  successful  Hebrew  High  School  Bowl 
team.  Under  his  tutelage,  season  passes  to  the  Yugars' 
home  games  were  professionally  printed  for  the  first  time. 
More  season  passes  than  ever  before  were  sold  thanks  to 
an  all-out  campaign  by  the  G.O.  In  addition  to  these 
accomplishments,  Dave  obtained  many  discounts  for  the 
students  and  also  helped  attract  the  largest  attendance 
ever  at  a  Chagiga. 

After  serving  as  Secretary-Treasurer,  Irv  Birnbaum  was 
more  than  capable  to  hold  the  office  of  President.  The 
Spring  Term  G.O.,  under  his  leadership,  was  responsible 
for  many  interesting  assemblies,  highlighted  by  an  enter- 
taining Varsity-Faculty  high  school  bowl  match.  The 
most  important  event  of  the  year,  the  Senior  trip  to  Mon- 
treal, was  successfully  arranged  by  a  committee 
appointed  and  headed  by  President  Birnbaum.  Innovated 
by  him  also  were  the  Student  Lounge  and  a  system  of 
Grade  Presidents  to  aid  him  in  matters  concerning  their 
grades. 

Ably  assisting  the  General  Organization  in  all  its  endeav- 
ors was  Mr.  Joseph  Strum,  whose  assistance  was  always 
given  when  requested.

Arista,  our  school's  chapter  of  the  National  Honor  Socie- 
ty, consists  of  a  group  of  highly  select  students.  All  have 
attained  excellence  in  both  Talmudic  and  secular  studies 
and  have  done  service  to  the  school. 

Under  the  leadership  of  Fall  Term  President  David 
Martin  and  Spring  Term  President  Richard  Schiffmiller, 
Arista  served  many  functions.  First,  it  gave  public  rec- 
ognition to  those  students  who  had  achieved  success  in 
their  studies.  Second,  Arista  played  an  important  role  in 


Rabbi  Louii  Cooper,  .tcJvisor 


its  capacity  as  academic  leader  of  the  school,  and  it  set 
an  example  for  underclassmen  to  follow.  Once  again,  the 
members  undertook  the  job  of  tutoring  slower  students. 
Highlighting  the  accomplishments  of  this  organization  were 
the  induction  assembly  and  the  successful  trip  to  West 
Point. 

Taking  over  this  year  as  advisor  to  Arista  was  Rabbi 
Louis  Cooper.  With  his  quick  wit  and  fine  sense  of  humor 
he  led  Arista  to  one  of  its  most  successful  seasons.

One  of  the  major  student  publications  of  YUHSB  is  the 
Topics.  The  paper  is  a  conglomeration  of  news  articles, 
feature  stories,  editorials,  poems,  and  cartoons,  pro- 
viding a  medium  of  expression  for  our  talented  writers 
and  artists.  Its  circulation  of  one  thousand  is  financed  by 
G.O.  appropriations  and  the  collection  of  ads. 
This  year,  under  the  editorship  of  Ira  Weg  and  Irwin 
Mansdorf,  the  Topics  made  its  appearance  three  times. 
Newly  innovated  was  the  use  of  photo-offset  instead  of 
the  former  letterpress.  Regularly  featured  articles  in- 
cluded The  G.O.  Speaks,  which  gave  the  President's 
views  on  controversial  topics;  Sound-Off,  an  article  by 
Jesse  Horowitz  which  stated  student  opinions,  and  Sports 
Slants,  a  sypnosis  of  the  prospects  and  events  of  our 
varsity  teams,  written  by  Jerry  Kowalski.

Designed  to  provide  up-to-date  coverage  of  the  events 
within  our  school,  the  Bulletin  became  the  most  popular 
YUHSB  publication.  It  provided  an  opportunity  for  all 
its  readers  to  keep  abreast  of  all  recent  administrative 
and  student  activities.  The  caustic  and  controversial 
editorials  were  augmented  by  witty,  satirical  cartoons. 
Each  week  the  Bulletin  sported  a  comprehensive  review 
of  athletic  events  and  usually  contained  a  feature  article. 

Ably  edited  by  Abraham  Kalker  and  Jacob  Pretter,  the 
Bulletin  supplemented  its  usual  issues  with  special  Elec- 
tions, Surveys,  and  Regents  Scholarship  Report  publica- 
tions.

This  year's  minor  publications  provided  YUHSB 
with  quality  literature.  The  Yugar,  sometimes 
controversial,  and  cruelly  exterminated  by  in- 
competent censors,  kept  students  aware  of 
MJHSL  news.  The  Spectrum,  a  merger  of  last 
year's  Corollary  and  Atom,  was  well-received  by 
the  math  and  science-minded  students.  The 
Focus  highlighted  items  in  the  news,  giving  the 
students  a  better  idea  of  what  these  items  were 
all  about.  The  Review  provided  gifted  students 
with  a  medium  for  publicizing  their  works.  The 
Dialect,  our  language  publication,  featured  com- 
positions in  French,  Hebrew,  and  Yiddish.  Thord. 
the  learning  man's  publication,  featured  poetry 
and  plays  besides  a  sharp  critique  of  local  news.

Under  the  direction  of  Rabbi  Joseph  Epstein  and  Mr. 
Robert  Bassell,  the  Hebrew  and  English  libraries  moved 
into  newer  and  larger  quarters,  and  expanded  their  re- 
sources and  quality  more  than  ever  before. 

This  year  under  the  student  leadership  of  Neil  Danzig 
and  Jesse  Horowitz  the  library  acquired  many  new  books 
and  films.  New  magazines  and  periodicals  were  purchased 
to  keep  YUHSB's  students  up-to-date  on  the  latest 
current  events  in  the  world  around  them.  To  supplement 


ENGLISH 


these  acquisitions,  the  library  staff  innovated  new  tihng 
methods  and  a  magazine  display.  They  also  set  up  a 
college  catalogue  with  information  about  all  the  well- 
known  colleges. 

The  Hebrew  library  was  greatly  aided  by  the  new  space 
given  it.  Containing  some  of  the  most  revered  "seforim" 
in  Hebraic  subjects,  the  Hebrew  library  was  put  to  great 
use  by  students  interested  in  looking  up  the  thoughts  ot 
the  great  Rabbinic  sages.

The  Yeshiva  Organization  Commission  was  again  one  of 
the  most  active  student  organizations  in  the  school. 
Under  the  leadership  of  this  year's  heads,  Jesse  Horowitz 
and  Nachum  Chernofsky,  the  Y.O.C.  successfully  co- 
ordinated all  the  religious  activities  of  the  Yeshiva. 

The  minyan,led  by  Rabbi  S.  Faivushevitz, Nachum  Chernof- 
sky, and  Jesse  Horowitz,  was  attended  by  over  fifty  boys 
each  day.  After  davening,  the  boys  were  "treated"  to  a 
tasty  breakfast  consisting  of  Jack's  pastry. 

An  important  accomplishment  by  this  year's  Y.O.C.  was 
the  placing  of  mezuzot  on  the  doorposts  of  the  new 
building.  In  addition,  the  Y.O.C.  also  provided  for 
separate  dairy  and  meat  tables  in  the  lunchroom.  Its 
kashruth  commission  continued  to  make  sure  that  every- 
thing that  was  sold  was  kosher  according  to  all  beliefs. 

Mishmar,  after  a  short  leave  of  absence,  was  re-instituted 
this  year.  Officiated  over  by  Rabbi  Aryeh  Lerman,  the

HIGH  SCHOOL  BOWL 


Alfred  Neugut,  Captain 


High  School  Bowl  has  become  the  most  popular 
non-athletic  activity  in  YUHSB.  It  is  a  question 
and  answer  game  played  according  to  the  rules  of 
G.E.  College  Bowl,  a  well-known  television  pro- 
gram. Competition  takes  place  on  both  the  inter- 
scholastic  and  intramural  levels. 

Captained  by  Alfred  Neugut  and  Neil  Nusbaum, 
the  Yubrains  finished  high  in  the  Inter- Yeshiva 
League.  The  season  was  highlighted  by  the  tradi- 
tional annual  Faculty  vs.  Varsity  High  School 
Bowl. 

Intramurals  were  successfully  completed  under  the 
leadership  of  Neil  Nusbaum  and  Martin  Schiff- 
miller.  Fall  and  Spring  Term  managers,  re- 
spectively. 

Newly  instituted  this  year  was  the  Hebrew  High 
School  Bowl  Team,  which  used  questions  on 
Bible,  Jewish  History,  and  other  Jewish  areas  of 
interest  rather  than  secular  questions.  It  competed 
very  successfully  against  Brooklyn  Central.  It  is 
hoped  that  in  the  coming  years  other  schools  will 
also  participate.

David  Martin,  Captain 


Debating  forms  a  large  part  of  YUHSB's  extra-curricular  activities,  through  the 
functioning  of  the  Varsity,  the  Junior  Varsity,  and  intramurals. 

The  varsity  debating  team  had  one  of  its  best  seasons  this  year.  Its  good  showing 
was  due  in  a  large  part  to  the  ability  and  leadership  of  its  captains,  Dov  Frimer  and 
David  Martin,  and  to  its  excellent  debaters,  all  seasoned  veterans.  The  Yuspeaks 
participated  in  I.Y.  competition  and  in  exhibitions  against  Elizabeth  and  our  two 
sister  schools. 

The  success  of  the  junior  varsity  team  and  the  intramural  program  can  be  credited 
to  Martin  Knecht  and  Menachum  Fuchs,  Fall  and  Spring  Term  debating  managers, 
respectively. 

Under  Knecht,  for  the  first  time,  there  were  no  forfeits  in  intramural  competition. 
Also,  a  file  of  old  debates  was  introduced. 

Topics  this  year  included  many  controversial  subjects  such  as  Vietnam,  sex-education 
in  public  schools,  liberalization  of  abortion  laws,  and  segregation.

The  Inter- Yeshiva  High  School  Student  Council  is  made 
up  of  representatives  from  all  the  metropolitan  Yeshivas. 
Its  function  is  to  coordinate  all  the  activities  that  take 
place  between  its  member  schools  and  to  keep  the  member 
schools  well-informed  of  the  operations  and  decisions  of 
the  council.  Acting  as  President  this  year  was  Jesse  Cogan, 
who  put  forth  many  new  ideas.  A  five  school  bowling  meet 
was  one  of  the  most  successful  functions  ever  performed  by 
the  I.Y.  Also  an  I.Y.  newspaper,  the  I.Y.  Eye,  came  out 
for  the  first  time  in  several  years.  Edited  by  David  Martin, 
this  paper  kept  the  students  of  different  schools  in  close 
contact  with  one  another  and  with  the  events  of  the  I.Y.

MATH  TEAM 


Competing  in  the  Interscholastic  Math 
League,  the  math  team  participated  in  bi- 
monthly contests  with  Erasmus  and  Tilden 
High  Schools.  At  each  meet  five  students 
represented  their  respective  schools  and 
were  given  six  questions  to  answer.  The 
team  which  finished  with  the  most  total 
points  was  declared  the  winner.  Coached 
by  Rabbi  Louis  Cooper  and  captained  by 
Martin  Templeman,  the  Yuclids  finished 
in  the  top  half  of  the  league  standings.

CHESS  AND  CHECKERS 


The  chess  and  checkers  team  is  the 
oldest  of  the  minor  teams  of 
YUHSB.  The  team  presents  non- 
athletic-minded  students  with  an 
opportunity  to  develop  their  talents 
in  the  mind-bending  games  of  chess 
and  checkers.  Participating  in  LY. 
competition,  the  Yuchex  finished 
in  third  place.  Captained  by  Alfred 
Neugut  and  Avram  Malek,  the 
team  possessed  some  of  the  best 
boardmen  in  the  league.

Although  hampered  by  unjust  administrative  re- 
strictions, the  Chanuica  Chagiga,  under  the 
direction  of  Harold  Baumgarten,  Jerry  Weinberg, 
and  Jackie  Herbst,  presented  an  evening  of  enter- 
tainment to  a  record  crowd  of  students  and  faculty. 

After  a  delicious  meal,  the  Chanuka  Chagiga  got 
off  to  a  strong  start.  Following  introductory  re- 
marks by  President  David  Wolfson  and  by  Rabbi 
Wilfred  Wolfson,  the  show  got  underway.  Fash- 
ioned after  the  WEVD  Radio  Program,  the 
Chagiga  was  highlighted  by  the  hilarious  com- 
mercials given  by  Harold  Baumgarten,  and  by  the 
musical  performances  presented  by  the  Paniks,  and 
by  the  Glee  Club.  Innovated  at  this  event  was  the 
drawing  for  three  transistor  radios. 
The  Purim  Chagiga  was  to  have  been  even  better, 
but  it  was  maliciously  murdered  by  administrators 
doubling  as  assasins.

Performing  duties  essential  to  the 
efficient  operation  of  YUHSB  were  the 
squads. 

The  audio-visual  squad  acquired  and 
showed  movies  for  the  education  and 
amusement  of  students  during  lunch 
hours,  and  provided  the  faculty  with 
interesting  teaching  aids. 

The  Times  Squad  gave  students  an 
opportunity  to  acquaint  themselves 
with  current  events  by  providing  them 
with  the  New  York  Times  each  school 
day  at  reduced  prices.

Beginning  their  1967-68  season  against  the  tough- 
est teams  in  the  league,  the  Yugars  set  out  to  go 
all  the  way.  Early  losses  to  M.T.A.,  Flatbush,  and 
J.E.C.  hampered  these  hopes,  but  Irv  Bader's 
quintet  managed  to  bounce  back  to  a  spot  in  the 
M.J.H.S.L.  semi-finals.

Captains. 


The  season  began  with  a  68—45  upset  victory  over 
the  Falcons  of  Flatbush.  But  the  atmosphere  of 
victors  didn't  last  for  long  as  the  Yugars  bowed  to 
our  uptown  rivals  the  following  week  by  a  score  of 
69 — 52.  The  next  two  games  saw  the  Yugars  fare 
no  better,  as  they  lost  close  games  to  both  Flat- 
bush  and  J. B.C.  Following  victories  against  HILI, 
Ramaz,  and  R.J. J.,  the  Yugars  found  themselves 
the  possessors  of  a  4—3  record  prior  to  the  HILI 
Tournament. 

During  the  holiday  break,  the  Yugars  were  once 
again  participants  in  the  annual  HILI  Invita- 
tional Tournament.  Defending  champions,  they 
lost  to  a  determined  HILI  squad  in  the  finals. 

Returning  to  regular  season  play,  the  Yugars 
bounced  back,  winning  six  out  of  their  next  nine 
games.  Paced  by  their  all-star  backcourt  of 
Menachem  Taubus,  William  Weinrib,  and  Steven 
Simon,  the  Yugars  developed  new  tactics  for 
battling  their  foes.  Among  these  were  the  full- 
court  zone  press  and  the  fast  break.  The  end  of 
the  season  found  the  Yugars  in  fourth  place  with 
a  10 — 6  overall  record  in  league  play. 


Next  came  the  all-important  playoffs.  The  Yugars 
were  pitted  against  the  Flatbush  Falcons.  To 
everyone  at  Y.U.H.S.B.  this  game  had  a  dual 
significance  as  it  was  both  a  playoff  game  and  a 
chance  for  revenge  against  earlier  season  losses  to 
our  arch-rivals.  With  the  fine  shooting  of  the 
backcourt  and  the  superb  rebounding  of  Wolfson, 
Levner,  Deutsch,  and  Springer,  the  Yugars  de- 
feated Flatbush  by  a  score  of  65—60.  However, 
the  Yugars'  season  came  to  a  sorrowful  end  with 
a  disheartening  71—46  loss  to  HILI  in  the  semi- 
finals. 

From  all  Yugar  players  and  fans  to  Coach  Irv 
Bader  and  Director  of  Athletics  Mr.  Irv  Forman, 
much  heartfelt  thanks  for  their  devotion  to 
Y.U.H.S.B.  sports.

With  six  swimmers  returning  from  last  year's  champion- 
ship season,  the  Aquamen  of  1967-68  were  once  again  top 
contenders  in  I.Y.  swimming  competition.  Led  by  star 
captains  Larry  Shusterman  and  Jerry  Weinburg,  the 
Aquamen  rolled  up  impressive  victories  against  the  es- 
tablished teams,  YUHSM  and  RJJ,  and  against  new  teams 
such  as  HILL  Only  Flatbush  proved  to  be  too  tough  for 
the  Aquamen,  as  the  Aquamen  finished  the  season  in 
a  close  second  place.

man, Richard  Polirer,  Harold  Bronheim,  Mark  Merlis,  Louis  Davies,  Manager. 


The  success  of  the  Aquamen  this  year  is  due,  in  large  part, 
to  the  fine  coaching  of  ex-Aquaman  Matty  Monheit  and  the 
skill  of  both  upper  and  lower  classmen  swimmers.  Their 
performance  plus  the  devoted  work  of  manager  Harold 
Baumgarten  gave  the  Aquamen  the  needed  impetus  to 
drive  them  on  to  victory.  Practice  was  held  twice  weekly- 
Monday  nights  at  Erasmus  and  Friday  afternoons  at 
Flatbush  Boys  Club.  Highlighting  the  season  were  the 
breaking  of  records  in  the  breaststroke  by  Jerry  Weinberg 
and  in  the  freestyle  by  Larry  Shusterman  and  Sol  Wilner. 


Relegated  for  many  years  to  a  minor  position 
among  Y.U.H.S.B.  sports,  this  year's  J.V.  broice 
with  tradition  and  gained  an  avid  following  among 
the  students. 

Their  phenomenal  record  of  10 — 1  was  achieved 
through  the  hard  work  of  the  future  varsity  stars 
and  the  superb  coaching  of  ex-Yugar  and 
M.J.H.S.L.  all-star  Harold  Bretstein. 

The  culmination  of  their  fine  season  was  the  vic- 
tory over  M.T.A.  for  the  championship  of  the 
Metropolitan  Jewish  High  School  J.V.  League. 
Coach  Bretstein's  expertise  will  be  felt  for  many 
years  to  come  with  the  progress  of  J.V.  stars 
M.  Yarmush,  H.  Weinrib,  J.  Bertram,  A.  Tau- 
bus,  and  I.  Schraga,  all  top  Varsity  prospects.

MINOR  SPORTS  provided  an  addi 
tional  source  of  extra-curricular  activities  for 
YUHSB  students. 

The  Bowling  Team,  captained  by  David  Woltson, 
Hillel  Besdin,  and  Nathan  Gottlieb,  had  a  success- 
ful season,  gaining  a  first  place  finish  in  the  I.Y. 
bowling  meet. 

The  Cindermen,  led  by  captains  Mitchell  Schei- 
man,  Nathan  Gottlieb,  and  Irv  Birnbaum, 
possessed  some  of  the  finest  track  class  in  the 
league,  and  thereby  had  a  great  season. 

The  Tennis  Team,  under  the  guidance  of  Hillel 
Besdin  and  Allan  Bernstein,  was  a  member  of  the 
I.Y.  League  and  finished  the  season  with  a 
record  worthy  of  such  a  team. 

The  B.T.A.  Soccer  team,  sparked  by  its  captains, 
Irv  Birnbaum,  Bernard  Lehrer,  and  Steve  Wein, 
presented  its  I.Y.  competitors  with  staunch  com- 
petition. 

The  Yuballs,  directed  by  Mark  Kaplow  and  Irwin 
Mansdorf,  possessed  some  of  the  league's  finest 
stars,  and  it  was  therefore  not  too  great  a  shock 
when  they  had  as  a  fine  a  season  as  they  did.

Upon  whom  fell  Your  wrath5^ 


How  could  the  gas  so  smother 

The  humble  father  and  mother 

And  children  who  died  with  Your  name,^ 

Babes  who  could  only  cry. 

How  could  You  them  blame 

And  cause  them  to  die? 

Faith  be  my  guide 

For  logic  has  lied; 

Clear  away  from  me  this  haze 

Which  blocks  my  ey^s  '; 

From  seeing  the  rernoteness  of  Your  ways 

As  from  earth  to  the  skies.

TIME 


Mark  Rand 


Time  .  .  .  the  unbeatable  foe  .  .  .  the  one  threat 
that  mankind  cannot  conceivably  outlast. 

Yet,  how  many  are  even  aware  that  this  threat 
exists? 

How  many  realize,  at  the  end  of  a  day,  that  that 
day  is  lost  to  eternity — never  to  come  again? 

How  many  know  enough  to  shiver  in  fright  when 
the  minute  hand  of  a  clock  moves  along  its 
course? 

How  many  understand  that  every  progression  of 
the  second  hand  brings  our  fate  one  instant  closer 
to  us? 

The  greatest  tragedy  in  this  world  is  not  that  we 
cannot  do  anything  to  win  the  fight  against  time, 
but  that  none  of  us  is  trying.  For  who  can  honestly 
say  that  he  has  spent  each  hour  of  each  day  of 
each  year  of  his  life  continuously  doing  what  he 
believes  to  be  right,  continuously  searching  for  his 
own  purpose  in  life  and  continuously  moving 
towards  that  purpose  just  as  surely  as  the  hands  of 
a  clock  move  towards  their  purpose? 


CONCRETE  JUNGLE 


Yale  Sam  Wahl 


Inward  we  walk 
Wandering  down  the  misty  streets 
Treading  through  garbage  covered  sidewalks 
Our  footsteps  echoing  on  the  cold  cement 
That  covers  the  concrete  jungle. 
Tediously  we  pick  our  way  through  glass  filled  gutters 
Through  the  filth  of  human  vegetables 
Past  the  burial  ground  of  dreams 
And  the  crumpled  tenements  of  the  mind. 
Slinking  past  angry  youths  on  subway  steps 
Who've  grown  old  before  their  time 
And  left  to  decay  on  musky  roads. 
A  jungle  where  light  can't  penetrate  bricks 
Piled  high  to  the  sun, 

No  trees  are  left  to  shade  tired  wanderers. 
No  squirrels  remain  to  pick  the  berries  in  the  park; 
Just  the  noise  of  ragged  children  deep  in  reality 
Meandering  through  the  streets  with  nowhere  to  go. 
Children  who  will  inherit  the  crumbling  empire 
Of  cold  realizations  and  shattered  dreams, 
Of  unguided  souls  and  soft-spoken  promises. 

Outward  we  walk  again 
From  land  that  progress  has  left  behind 

And  left  to  its  fate  in  silence. 


DEATH 


Allen  Mansfield 


She  stood  on  the  beach  alone, 

While  the  water,  like  tears  of  sorrowful  remorse, 

Slid  along  the  lines  of  body — 

The  sand  drinking  the  briny  nectar  at  her  wings. 

The  wind  blows  out  to  sea. 
Blowing  the  way  she  gazes. 
Gazes  and  looks,  looks  and  gazes. 
Searching,  searching. 

A  star  guides  the  heart. 

No  other  light  penetrates. 

The  glitter  it  radiates  comes  not  from  fiery  passion- 

The  coldness  of  loneliness  beams  it  on. 

A  ray  of  grandeur  tainted  with  the  soul's  injustice, 

The  star  emits. 

It  travels  on  and  on. 

Searching,  searching. 


The  beams  are  locked  onto  the  ship, 
Its  men  are  gone. 

The  sail  aglow  from  cold  light  is  flapping 
The  captain  sleeps. 

The  voice  speaks 

No  words — not  even  thoughts. 

Only  meaning. 

The  sleek  lines  above  the  beach 
Add  to  the  salt  near  her. 
More  water  drips  unto  the  sand. 
Quenching. 

The  eyes  are  a  portal 
To  a  gray  soul; 
The  eyes  close. 


Whitecaps  crash,  they  slash  and  thrash 
The  waves  and  water  about  them. 
The  ship  is  rocked  in  stormy  water .  .  . 
The  captain  sleeps. 


m^cocoA 


Neil  Nusbaum 


We  walk  forward,  so  proudly  forward, 
To  receive  a  symbol  of  our  past. 
The  memories  of  this  day  may  fade. 
But  their  proof  is  writ,  and  in  our  hand. 

Pride  (a  fleeting  pleasure)  is  now  replaced  by  despair: 
What  purpose,  all  our  goals,  so  proudly  set  this  day? 
In  a  world  ruled  by  evil,  how  can  we  strive  for  good? 
The  scrap  of  paper  in  my  hand  is  worthless,  I  know, 
for  it  still  leaves  me  helpless  to  fight  for  my  beliefs. 


Despair,  like  pride,  gives  way  to  a  new  emotion: 
The  world,  despite  its  faults,  has  survived,  has  even 

grown. 
Is  this  not  reason  enough  for  hope? 
The  piece  of  paper  I  grasp  firmly, 
As  it  beckons  me  to  future  goals. 


The  Silence  of  Spring 


Jerry  Charles  Weinberg 


Like  the  wind  blowing  gently  dispersing  the  cloud  formation. 
Trees  softly  swaying  in  the  illumination  of  the  moon, 
The  seashore  echoes  in  the  realms  of  my  imagination 
Sometimes. 

Again  sinister  shadows  lurk  menacingly, 

Like  incinerators  spewing  forth  soot,  obliterating  the  sun. 

It's  nothing  stirring  on  the  street  through  the  night's  bleakness. 

Look!  Someone's  caused  destruction. 

Death  hovers  softly  in  the  silence  of  Spring.

David  Martin 


What  hidden  force  had  guided  him  here  he  did  not  know. 
He  had  never  been  here  before.  Yet  as  soon  as  he  was 
able  to,  he  ran  with  the  surety  of  foot  of  one  who  had  run 
this  path  many  times  before. 

Then  he  saw  it.  About  a  hundred  yards  from  him,  as  he 
emerged  from  the  grove,  stood  the  house.  He  raced  to  it 
and  flung  open  the  door.  His  eyes  had  not  adjusted  from  the 
bright  sun  to  the  darkness  the  house  held,  but  it  didn't 
matter.  He  tore  through  the  main  room  into  the  kitchen. 
Without  a  conscious  thought,  he  reached  up  into  the  cup- 
board for  the  lantern  he  knew  would  be  there,  ran  his 
fingers  across  a  shelf,  picked  up  a  match  and  lit  it.

dream 


Ira  Weg 


It  was  a  gray  day,  and  I  walked  quickly.  The  weatherman 
had  promised  a  storm,  and  a  drizzle  of  tiny  raindrops  was 
already  smashing  onto  my  glasses.  I  was  walking  to  I 
knew  not  where,  coming  from  I  knew  not  where,  being 
where  I  knew  not  where,  I  was  just  walking,  walking  with- 
out shelter,  walking  without  even  care  for  shelter.  But  the 
day  was  soft  and  a  dull,  foggy  gray,  the  gray  that  softens 
the  harsh  right  angle  lines  of  a  perpendicular  world,  and  I 
didn't  care  that  I  was  lost. 

The  drizzle  soon  became  a  shower  and  the  shower  was 
drowned  in  a  downpour,  and  suddenly  I  cared  for  shelter 
and  I  ran  through  the  brown  rippling,  quickly  forming, 
puddles,  into  a  doorway.  There  was  a  man  and  a  woman 
in  there  who  seemed  familiar.  I  smiled,  and  they  smiled 
back,  and  I  asked  them  where  I  was. 

"You're  here,"  they  said,  "and  we've  told  you  all  we  can. 
Now  keep  walking,  for  we  cannot  shelter  you  here  any- 
more. Now  go."  They  smiled  and  I  smiled,  and  they  gently 
pushed  me  out  into  the  rain,  setting  my  shoulders  towards 
the  direction  to  which  I  had  been  going  before.  "Now  go," 
they  said  again  smiling,  smiling  a  little  sadly,  and  I  did  not 
ask  them  for  directions  again. 

I  kept  watching,  stepping  in  puddles,  crashing  on  the  metal 
cellar  doors  set  into  the  street.  I  am  still  walking,  but  I  am 
not  so  lost  in  a  rainstorm  anymore.
