JS?

our morning is comprised of Hebraic studies,
talmud's constant challenge echoes the heri-
tage of our forefathers, torarfs unique quali-
ties are apparent in that it affords the op-
portunity for the rabbi to instruct, the pupil
to absorb, and for both to gain . . .

A liberal education forms the backbone of
the secular studies, combining insight and
perspective to project a real and clear image
of the world . . .

bta doesn't turn out methodical mathematicians or
soulless scientists. The school forms a policy where
the temper of the mind in conjunction with the body
is cherished more than pure academic credentials. It
is a school of spirit — a spirit of constructive accom-
plishment, which each day realizes new horizons.

1. In the beginning g-d created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was
without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of
g-d hovered over the face of the waters, and g-d said, "let there be y.u." and there
was y.u. and g-d saw y.u. that it was good, and g-d said to himself, "self, that's
good!"

2. and y.u. lived 20 years and it begat mta. and it came to pass when yu was 9
and 40 years, it conceived once more and begat a second son. and it called the sec-
ond son bta. and yu saw that the brothers were lonely and it prayed to the 1-rd. and
the 1-rd caused yu to conceive once more, and yu begat two daughters, and he called
the daughters central.

3. and yu loved his oldest son mta and he kept him by his side, yea, up in Wash-
ington heights he kept him. and the younger son he sent away from him saying: "go
ye forth in to wilds of brooklyn and settle ye not there, but wander ye forth from
place to place and send your sons unto me/'

4. and bta went out from the presence of yu and dwelt in president street, and yu
sent forth his favorite son to guide the children of bta and to deliver to them the
laws of yu. and the son was called rabbi doctor anz.

5. and anz led his people forth from president street until they reached the little
red schoolhouse on church and bedford, and they dwelt therein many years and
they multiplied.

6. and it came to pass that yu sent forth funds unto his children and commanded
anz saying: "get ye forth all thy people, yea even the freshies, and journey to the
land that i have chosen for thee."

7. and, of course, anz obeyed.

liber fresherae

A these are the chronicles of the people of anz who came unto him in the year

5727, one score years after the birth of bta. 2. and the children came unto him
saying: "you mean the little red one? on the right?!" for they were freshies, and
they knew not the ways of bta. 3. and they climbed the stairs until they reached
- ^ I the auditorium/shul/lunchroom/hockey rink, and they assembled there in great
I multitudes, yea, all nine and sixty of them, for there they waited in fear and
**^* trembling for the words of anz. 4. for they were freshies and knew not the ways
of bta. 5. and anz spake unto the people, and amidst the roar of microphones
and the shuffling of the papers he said; "i have taken thee from among the multitudes of the ap-
plicants and i have chosen thee to be my own. therefore ye shall keep my covenant and act in the
manner becoming to a yeshiva boy." 6. and all the freshies said, yea, even as in one voice: "we
hear and we shall obey." 7. and anz sent unto the children his administrative assistant, the one
they call Joseph, and Joseph explained and taught the laws of anz to the freshies; and he also
gave out the bus passes and the schedule cards. 8. and the people saw that it was good, for they
were freshies and . . .

liber sophomoric

are the accounts of tl , Mginz as they journeyed forth from their home in the

little red schoolhouse into the new, modern, and spacious quarters across the street
f rom n bc studios. (2) and up from the basement rose Joseph, for anz saideth unto him:
"gather ye thine college catalogues and bringeth them unto me and settle ye there, by
my side, yea, even in mine own office." and Joseph obeyed. (3) and all the people re-
joiced as they came upon the new and modern building, but as they entered they found
", that it was central and they said: "you mean it's the ugly one on the left?" for they
were sophomores and did not yet know the ways of bta. (4) and anz spake unto his peo-
^ pie and commanded them saying: "look ye not upon the non-boys next door for they
are an abomination unto me. and tread ye not on the grass, nor shall ye smoke it, for
it is holy unto kalish. and remember; this is a nice clean building so keep it clean and act in the manner
becoming to a yeshiva boy. (5) and they travelled down to the lunchroom/auditorium/locker room/
hockey rink and they saw the pillars there, and they said, one man unto the other, yea, even as in one
voice; "yecccchhhh!" (6) and it came to pass that the people wandered forth from the building and they
searched, far and wide, for the hoops they inquired. But their quest was for naught, for they were not to
play basketball in the new and modern building, and it was then that they discovered that the lunchroom
/auditorium/locker room/hockey rink was also the gym ... in their new and modern quarters. (7) and
so the people gathered in the bathrooms, but lo, the bathrooms were empty of paper. (8) and they de-
parted from the bathrooms, even as in one great sigh, and rushed for the staircases, but they found there
was but one staircase, and the people fell upon one another and cried unto the leader anz. (9) and anz
pacified the people saying: from this moment on ye shall have three minutes in between each class, not
two as before, and ye shall be known as the people of yuhsb. (10) and all the people rejoiced, for they
were sophomores and still did riot know the ways of bta.

for they were sophomores and . . . we enter the new building and we find the third floor on the first . . .

le mouert Uvre

months passed, and once again the people of anz gathered at the portals in the tunnel un-
|4||^ derneath the arch. (2) and anz spake unto them saying: now time has come and ye shall
ill : I become upperclassmen in the eyes o( yuhsb. and i want you to remember that this is a
^**W%1 yeshiva and i want you all to act in the manner becoming to a yeshiva boy. (3) and now
#P that ye are upperclassmen, ye shall be allowed to have many choices: ye may choose
chemistry, or ye may not choose chemistry, ye may choose a. p. math, or ye may not choose it. ye may
choose french, or ye may not choose french. but ye shall have french, for such are the ways of bta. (4)
and all the people knew that it was so. (5) and anz sent unto his people a frenchman, and they called the
frenchman moe. (6) and moe spake unto the people saying: you must do mah homework everyday —
neatly, underlined in red, or else i will rip it. and if you will not bring it, you will have to bring me a note
from the rabbi, in a sealed envelope, always remember: ah am just a little bit smart, but in that little
bit, there is a lot. (7) and as the people sat with the rulers and red pens, they couldn't believe that it was
actually happening.

and all the people knew that it was so: zlotnick
walks into the room leaving door open . . . rosen-
thal: zlotnick, how would you like to close the
door . . . cosmo: no thanks, i don't smoke . . .
wolfson: monsieur, can i go to the bathroom? . . .
moe: i do not allow you to leave the room only
if it is an emergency, is it an emergency? . . .
mitch: no . . . moe: in that case, you may go . . .
zuck: you know what they say — the larger the
animal, the smaller the brain . . . moe: a friend of
my friend is my friend, you have learned algebra?
(writes on board: + + = + = friend of my friend is
my friend; +-=- = friend of my enemy is my
enemy; — = + = the enemy of my enemy is my
friend;) is this not logical? . . . durchin; and then
there are men who fool around with women . . .

here . . . harold: he says, that a man should be able to count all his affairs on the toes and fingers on his
hand . . . louie: i hope that your problem is that you can't express yourself, because if you can express
yourself, you have a problem . . . cosmo: well, nobody's perfect . . . strum: well, i wouldn't say that no-
body's perfect; i look in the mirror occasionally . . . skolnik shouts out . . . zuck: what is the matter?

about it. it is fifteen . . . well . . . umm . . . rosenthal:
terrific . . . zuck tells us about fio: you see, when
you go to med school, the first thing they send you
to is anatomy lab. and as you go up in the elevator,
the smell gets stronger and stronger, then when you
get to the tenth floor — there are 500 cadavers star-
ing you in the face, and in the middle of the room
there is this teacher dr. butcher, really, no kidding,
that was his name, and we had this little old lady
named fio . . . moe: all the compound tenses are in
the past, except the future . . . louie to fred: fred, if
you kept your two cents to yourself, you'd be rich
by now . . . moe: when mah son the boy he wants
some money, he flatters me and ah can detect it. ah

it is not too much, a few cents, ah give it to him . . .

put

the summer passed, the time came and the people gathered for the fourth time to hear the words
of their beloved leader anz. (2) and anz spake unto them saying: gentlemen, just because it is your
last year in the yeshiva university high school in brooklyn for boys, it doesn't mean that you
should not take it seriously. (3) and all the people laughed, for by now they had come to know the
ways of bta. (4) and anz angered and the words issued forth from his mouth and he said: from this
time on ye shall be known as seniors, for ye are an abomination in the eyes of yuhsb. (5) and the
seniors spewed forth, yea, up to the fourth floor they spewed, even into the senior lounge, for there
was enshrined the pool table. (6) and all the seniors played with their sticks and balls on the table
(^r livEI until a voice thundered upon them: How dare ye cut classes to play in the lounge, ye have tried my
patience much too long, and to punish thee i will confiscate all your balls and sticks, close the
lounge, and ye shall all go uptown, to y.u. (7) but the seniors did not wish to go to y.u., and they transgressed the
words of anz, and they applied to harvard, yale, Columbia, and buffalo. (8) then spake strum: boys, boys, do you really
think that you'll make all those colleges? i don't see why you should bother filling out those applications, why waste
my time and your money. (9) and try as they may, the seniors could not throw off the yolk. (10) and all the people
of anz would go to yu, except those who went to brooklyn and they sighed and said to one another: at least we'll be
getting away from him. (11) for they were seniors and were getting sick and tired of the ways of bta.

the tolkien society of the new age was founded on may 28, 1968
in Philadelphia at independence hall by king algernon jehestlegard
klavanstein with the purpose of spreading elvish and numenoreon
lore, in its spare time it sponsored the fencing team, the committee
of march 25, and the industrial workers of the world organizing
committee.

t.s.n.a. arose from the underground when it got irwin blum elected
g.o. president on a tolkien ticket, an increasing number of junior and
sophomore members should insure the t.s.n.a.'s continued existence
in bta while the "Philadelphia seven" move on to contaminate hu-
manity.

yupoles

with the increasing conflicts in the mid-
dle east, bta seniors felt it imperative to
help out. after rigorous training in cycle
riding and fighting techniques, the volun-
teers were incorporated into the army as
the 69th motorcycle unit, nicknamed the
"yusangels", the unit played an integral
role in the defense of the southern border,
it is rumored in Jerusalem that next fall
the "yusangels" will kidnap nasser.

this winter saw the conceivement of a new
team, the yupoles. consisting of several sturdy-
seniors, the skiing team braved the wrath of the
slopes and rabbi zuroff in order to hold weekly
practices at mt. gitchegoomy. the yupoles, im-
proving immensely, hope to enter in world-wide
competition next season.

yudrags

under the tutelage of colonel ricardo korno-
telli, the yudrags have become an expert group
of drivers, practicing every sat. night and Sunday,
the yudraggers were victorious in the world-
renowned meet — staten island run. captain alan
victorio passodretti, in his famous penelope, set
a national record in the monticello grand prix.

the function of the g.o. is to co-ordinate the various student activities
in bta. consisting of two representatives from each class, the general
organization met bimonthly on thursday nights to pass bills and set
policy.

the fall term's g.o. executive council was headed by president Stanley
adler. an active president, stan brought about the addition of a pool
table and a ping pong table to the student lounge, his eloquence in debate
with rabbi zuroff also managed to gain various extra days off for the
student body, in all this he was ably aided by vice-president michael
baum and secretary treasurer mickey svei.

in february the spring term executive council took over under the
leadership of president irwin blum. elected as a candidate of the tolkien
society irwin proved loyal to the cause and supported all pro-elvish leg-
islation, his meetings were both controversial and lengthy sometimes
almost exceeding an hour, blum also became the first school president
to make use of the presidential veto, despite (or because of) this despotic
(or enlightened) general attitude things still were done, sharing the credit
for the finest g.o. in school history with blum were vice-president louie
davies and secretary-treasurer david fisch. may the days of glory return,
go. faculty advisor, mr. Joseph strum, should be complimented for
. i J in time, counsel, and patience that he gave the g.o.

I.Y.

formed in order to promote and organize inter-
school functions and competition among several of
the yeshiva high schools in the metropolitan area,
the i.y., after the relative inactivity of recent years,
once more began to assert itself as a potent inter-
school force, under the administration of irwin
blum, schedules were made up and distributed for
most activities and plans were even made to res-
urrect the i.y.'s long defunct newspaper, besides
this, blum, a rampant expansionist, declared a
policy of manifest destiny for the i.y. and carried
this through to the point of bringing in a new mem-
ber into the league, this was elizabeth yeshiva
which joins the present membership consisting of
bta, mta, rjj, ycq, flatbush, hili, and ramaz.

guarding bta's interest at the few, but signifi-
cant, meetings were yuhsb's i.y. representatives
mitchell wolfson, martin yarmush, and mickey
svei.

rooted, sowing and reaping the seeds of torah

under the guidance of rabbi louis cooper, the
y.u.h.s.b. chapter of the national honor society
has retained and improved its traditional ability
to reach the students through its program, pre-
sided over by michael kramer and mitch kauf-
man, arista has expanded its tutorial capacity,
and now offers aid to any student requiring
assistance.

the door to the widening cultural and intellec-
tual horizons of new york city and its vicinity
has been opened to members by the society
through its trips and other activities.

strengthening its role as the official school pub-
lication, topics '69-'70 attained a reputable posi-
tion in school affairs, editor-in-chief yussie
halpern, along with associate editors mitch
wolfson and maish yarmush, published 8 issues,
highlighted by popular feature articles, pertinent
editorial comment on world affairs as well as the
campus scene, frequent contributions by the fac-
ulty, and extensive sports analyses on the bas-
ketball team and the importance of athletics in
every student's life.

with the aid and patience of faculty adviser
Joseph brand, the editors have succeeded in pre-
senting a lively and creative newspaper.

yugar

bta's sports journal, the yugar diligently
reported all matters of interest concerning
the basketball team, given out at every home
game, the yugar was always up-to-date with
league standings, scoring records, and other
statistics.

this year's winner of the lazarus award,
the resurrected bulletin rose from the dead
under the guidance of harold pretter, mi-
chael kramer and marshall wilen. a rather
mediocre complement to the topics, the
mimeographed bulletin ushered in a revo-
lution in b.t.a. journalism, by making
paramount the activities of the central
flat fixing team, we hope next year's staff
will keep the corpse alive.

achieved success as an outlet
for yuhsb's science-minded,
under the guidance of editors-
in-chief arnold rotter and
seymour herskovits, the spec-
trum discussed the effects of
science on society, as well as
offering provocative articles
in the full spectrum of the
sciences, its interesting and
informative articles gained it
many future readers.

the hakol, the official re-
ligious publication of
y.u.h.s.b. saw much success
under the guidance of editor
harry dym and co-editors
sam schoss and barry snow,
providing the student body
with interesting articles rang-
ing from Jewish culture to
Jewish philosophy, the hakol
was truly a "voice" of the re-
ligious division of b.t.a.

the review provided a printed
podium for those students with a
literary bent, the first issue dealt
with themes like existentialism
and social morality, the second
was devoted to the lord of the
rings, editors saul fischer and
harold pretter should be congrat-
ulated on jobs well done.

high school

"where are the dunedain elessar, elessar?" chants the rhyme,
well, bta's dunedain were up there buzzing away in many a wild
high school bowl game, though their style, set by captains irwin
blum and saul fischer, was at times unorthodox and though
neither guy lombardo nor william tell ever won the heisman
trophies, our neonumenoreons came up with the right answers
more often than not. slaughtering rjj, ycq, and mta, and in turn
being defeated by flatbush, they were one of bta's most success-
ful squads.

on the intramural side h.s. bowl managers irwin blum and
Jeff bedrick kept the t.s.n.a.'s solemn pledge not to lay a crown
of thorns upon the buzzers of bta and not to let the h.s. bowl
system be crucified upon a cross of gold.

the lot of the student is
not a happy one, but twice a
year come the chagigas, and
like breaking a car with a
sledgehammer, we let out
our frustrations on stage
with music and humor that
sometimes borders on the
sarcastic, but more often on
the absurd.

under the daring direction
of mike kramer, alan pass,
and co-head harold bron-
heim, the chanukah chagiga
was given a place in history
as the first chagiga with a
musical skit: "twiddler of
the thumbs", written by
banner, blum, zlotnick, and
the tolkien society, a bril-
liant recitation of "maitre
corbeau" by farkas, fischer,
& schlesinger, a horrible re-
turn to vaudeville by wolfson
and kramer, and looie and
the fallafel balls led by
band head looie davies, sup-
plemented the skit.

the purim chagiga broke all records by selling 200 tickets
on the day of the show itself, made obvious by the innocuous
absence of the glee club and the Rabbi, the chagiga rose to
new heights by staging "duh gansa megillah," b.t.a. style.
on the musical side of the show, fire, earth, air, etc. and
amazingly absurd senior songs were augmented by the al-
truistic appearance of "blue".

food; and mrs. rose kramer (without whose apartment 1035

under the aegis of sophomore coach
norman ringel, the yugars embarked
on what promised to be the first bta
championship in a millenium.

undaunted, the yugar five began a
long season by routing rjj, but had to
rely on six last minute foul shots to
outdistance mta in the second game,
then, on wed. night, nov. 26. the bta-
hili rivalry was brought to life in the
opponent's gym. it was a tense, see-
saw battle, no team leading by more
than five points at any time, in the
fourth quarter, "shoe" bertram and
hili's jeff rosen vied for a rebound
and came down in a scuffle; bertram
was ejected from the game.

during the ensuing argument among
einer, ringel, and the refs, the many
over-excited fans poured out onto the
court, believing that coach ringel had
decided to forfeit the game, when the
court cleared, the game continued, as
the time ticked away neither team
gained the advantage and it seemed
that an overtime would be required,
however, with three seconds left maish
yarmush was fouled and sank the free
throw for a yugar victory.

hili's coach bill weiner, who lost the
?ame on the court, nevertheless, won
3ry over the conference table, he
ted the game on the grounds that
Dertram was ejected hili should
seen awarded a technical foul

■■**•■■ ^*%

the team did not let the
league's decision affect them
as they handily won their next
seven games.

suddenly the tides turned,
the yugars fell off their high
horse as they lost their final
game of the season to hili.
weiner's boys defeated bta a
second time in a playoff for
first place.

in the norman palefski play-
off, the flatbush falcons pulled
off a shocking upset by
defeating our team.

the yugars completed their
frustrated season with an en-
viable record of 12 — 3.

a sonnet for penelope

by kramer

she was the driving spirit to my soul,
like to the night a trilling nightingale,
and succor'd me with automotive dole-
to lift my feet from asphalt's trodden trail.

from van wyck, o'er the belt, and on the thruway,
we first espied the world in which we dwell,
until upon ajourney home from rock'way,
her pistons purred her final kiss farewell.

and now fore'er engraved into my momory,
from carburetor to her bumper's end,
with diamond headlights and a golden chasis,
penelope, my lover and my friend.

though wheels may cease responding to your steerings,
old cars ne'er die, they only lose their bearings.

2270, where are you?

oh, your crimson stained building
with your black peaked roof
the pigeons that lived there
left all over their proof
the public school doorknobs, opening
to those sky-colored rooms
with those forever cracked walls
just waiting to fall to their dooms
the echoes of the countdowns
that raised the dust off the floor
and loosen the doors off the hinges
just a little more
the sliding closets
with the freshies locked inside
the cries, the shrills, the laughs
coming from outside
rickety desks engraced with autographs
and unforgettable, unmentionable quotes
whenever radiators leaked
we sailed paper boats
instead of fire engines
we have the trains
our.auditorium, gym
and lockeroom are all the same
instead of erasmus
we have the opposite sex
now only 1 staircase
(for emergencies an annex)
instead of a concession
we see more of jack
the class of 1970
would like to have 2270 back

the disconcerted mind of m

isee but i cannot feel . . .

i listen but i cannot express . . .

he was driven by a rare madness, digging into the soul itself, the an-
guish of remaining unnoticed by all, tore deep into his flesh.

why was he left out of the joy of life? couldn't they comprehend his
plight?

he tried to adapt, but he wasn't accepted, for him being different was
the scourge of life, stifling any possible chance of fulfillment, yet he tried.

why are they laughing? can't they see that they're wrong? shouldn't
they try to help me? is it right for one man to help one another or isn't it?
. . . no, it's every man for himself . . . i'm alone as it has always been,
it's just me and . . . and i seem to be against all of them, but why?

feeling constrained by his own inability he lost all hope of being ini-
tiated into society, tired of trying to piece together the pernicious puzzle
of life, his sense of repulsion grew, the source of his rejection he finally
destroyed, he kills.

the world

by maish yarmush

men come, muscle men proud of the size of their limbs and the rod
they tote, but are without brow or cranium, scientists, men of learning,
considered by many as the best people — invincible atheists, religious men
define and redefine hypocrisy — usually by self-illustration.

they mingle, and, then, in the strong fire of their released passions,
they acquire an unalterable hate for one another, they fight brutally with
one another and most die.

do they die because their conscience seeks no more to flourish, or do
they die because they were isolated through life in egoism, and egoism
kills?

the living remainder, who now must share the same room, when their
armor is removed, come together despite their differences in the ancient
community of dreams and fatigue, everywhere, joy, profit, and de-
bauchery.

it is not, though it may seem so, a description of the outside world
propelled by an orgy of greed and brutality, it is the image of the micro-
cosm which revolves within the bounds of the human frame.

significance

by alan pass and yussie halpern

sunrise, the beginning of a new day.
or is it a new day?
each day is different
in essence, the same.

to live; to belong

confined to a restricted existence

planning, working, pursuing, attaining.

a search for identity
reaching for a reason
a clue explaining why?
a hint at interpretation.

the significance of being

man fulfills himself

yet he doesn't understand.

dependence on the omnipotent
the quest for relevance
seeking to ascribe meaning
to a life of aimlessness.

a day is the life is merely a fleeting
moment of our lives — it comes and it is
gone, but what has it meant? we have
been brought closer to omniscience, and
we have been brought closer to our
fellow man. but have we achieved a
pinnacle of success?
