struggled over has succeeded far above fire chief's power to extinguish or combust. The world will little note nor long remember how Judie Goldfarb and Jody Volk dotted attempts to overthrow the government. but it can never be forgotten how with the aid of other grizzlies, they many times were successful. It is for Jay Tabatchnick. heir to the pickle-studded herring throne, rather than for Stuart Stark, to be dedicated to the unfinished task of breaking the quarter-mile record, which Alan Greene so nobly helped by opening the windows. It is rather for Ruth Shapiro to be dedicated to the great task of sterilizing the sterilizer (commonly called the sink), that from morning notices we take increased confusion to which Richard Rosenthal and Renee Rosenthal contributed so much, that Geraldine Farkas. Eleanor Glatt. Leni Greenfield. Joel Kaplan. Sandra Mazur. Helaine Kuperman. Paul Seligman. Gloria Yrizany. Frances Langbard, Marcia Klein here highly resolve that these errors were not in vain, that the threshold under our history shall have a new litter of cubs, and that ambitions of 127'ers. by old 127'ers and handed down to new 127'ers shall not perish from Weequahic High. Driscoll’s Dromedaries The traffic was extremely congested for all models of carpets were flying that day. In the marketplace many notables appeared, the Sultan of Swat. Maharajah of Magador. and the Sheik of Araby. A very special and important visitor was expected from a far off and mysterious land, and the gold nailed rugs were laid out for him. At last he arrived and happy the moment came. The lanky, bearded stranger was to deliver a most important and indeed memorable speech. He began. Honored ones and Ali Baba and her twenty-nine thieves. What I am about to tell you occurred not four-score and seven years ago. but three years ago. when homeroom one-twenty-seven was conceived in frolic and dedicated to the proposition that all 1 27's were created micshievous. Then we were engaged in a great mental strife testing whether that Linda Fogel was so detained at and so dedicated to Weequahic that she was equipped for winning all cases put before her. Thelma Rosen-bloom and Rose Dessau have come to dedicate a late slip as a final resting place for those bells who here gave their buzzes at 8:30 A M. that they might be tardy. It is altogether fitting and proper that Alan Barnett should be henchman for the big boss. But in a Fred Anker sense he cannot give up the fifth amendment so easily as Phyllis Orlans allows herself to give in to Miss Driscoll's arguments. Rita Beck and Bernice Weissman cannot doom their secret fetters of lively information crawling on the floor. The brave Wrecia Ford erasing the A. W. O. L. marks which Edward Kent and Thomas Regenzeck 78

Schwartz’ Sheiks Oppressed by the pungent fumes of the 14 Bus and the rush of the Weequahic Tribes, the Sheiks were finally gathered at Oasis 119 by their most honored leader, Meyer Schwartz. The clatter of camels could be heard as the late ones (Fran Wachs-man, Eva Dier, Joyce Davis and Jo Katz) galloped to their places at 8:31 A M, The flutter of his most-honored-one's palm leaf could be heard over the entire oasis as he flapped for order. There was work to be done. First. Marv Spatz. Number One Sheik, led us in our prayers to the mighty Allah. The most sacred task finished, we opened the oasis for business. In the middle of the oasis, Lois Grossman. Ted Levine, and Hank Newman can be seen gathered in a forum over their last-minute Hebrew hieroglyphics. while Lenny Robinowitz and his assistant Frank Suchwala let the Sahara breezes sweep through the open tent flaps. The presence of Eileen Buchsbum and Bobby Schartoff is noticeable as the two ponder over Spanish synonyms. Far across the Sahara can be heard the frequent cry of the beggars (Myrna Schnirman, Ruth Gold-farb, Sandy Schenkel and Arty Novom) calling for their daily ration of Damsel Beverly Abramowitz’s gums and myrrhs (peppermint-flavored.) The ever errant camels (Donny Herman, Bob Murphy, Harvey Tony Seigelbaum. Ted Sobo. Marcia Claire. Harry Howard, and Shirley Meyerson.) make it difficult for Judie Wildman to count noses of the sheiks. In contrast to these nomads, we have with us our fleet-footed land racers. Billy Rothschild and Herbie Sonnabend. and our own star fish of the oasis pool, Buddy Seligsohn. Sparkling as the waters of the Nile is the pin worn by Ethel Lefkowitz as its gleam catches fire in the brilliance of Joan Princer's eyes. Everyone is at his best as we end our sojourn through I 19 and continue on our way through the sands of time. However, before we say good-bye we leave you with this one parting wish: May Allah be with you always. 77

his jury consisting of Fred Ofak, Inez Kasen, John Ondo. Connie McMann and Paul Mann. The first case before the court is Rothstein versus Hilf. Paul we find has violated the law compelling him to wait for Marilyn each morning to ride her on his Camel to the market place. Since he stated it was an oversight on his part, the case was closed. In the next case. Elaine Feldblum. banker of Homeroom 213. charges the students with not saving money. It is decided that the case should be brought to a higher court and considered closed in this one. Outside this booth a commotion is going on. and when Mrs. Butler reaches the scene of the trouble she finds that Jack Vablonsky is having trouble getting his Camel started. He had decided to transport Barbara Kroner and Roberta Luper to the city square where they had intended to get ads for the renowned Calumet. At last, when Jack finally gets started. Mrs. Butler is distracted by a familiar face trying to sell her the New York Times. This girl is none other than our own Anita Goldstein doing her usual job. But since Mrs. Butler had spied Sheila Levy chewing gum on the other side of one of the booths, she had no time to purchase a paper. Barry Reis, Vice President of the groups planning the bazaar, sees Sheila's danger. He swoops her up on his camel only to find that it is too late, and both Sheila and Barry will have to come in for detention. As the Bazaar closes for an eternity and the students from 21 3 return on the magic carpet to their normal way of living, they leave us with two words. .“Chairs Under. In Arabia it is the holiday season and the bazaar is filled with imports from all over the world. People flutter by on foot or ride on camels, looking into the booths for things to bring home to their family. A noticeable figure, going around from stand to stand checking on the sales and seeing that everything runs smoothly, is Mrs. Butler. After checking with Gail Drezner to find out if all the invitations to the bazaar were sent, she stops at the booth where stranqe sticks are turning in time to music played by Linda Cantor. These metal objects (otherwise known as batons) spin with graceful ease in the hands of Annette Viscido and Sandy Levine, who are all decked out in their twirling finery. In the next stop a sporting event from another land is taking place while Mindy Shain cheers Arty Drucks on to win the basketball trophy. Gerald Simpson, great Thespian that he is. re-enacts his part in “A Date With Judv for the enioyment of Sylvia Danenberg. Dolores Kirshner, and Stuart Yab-lick. As Mrs. Butler ploughs her way through the crowds she notices the portrait of Phyllis Gralla. which Manfred Wilner is drawing to an exact likeness. The bazaar's singing star. Louise LaPorta. is practicing the scales while court is in session nearby. Hizzonor Judge Martin Friedman presides over Butler’s Bazaar 79
