THE LEGEND WEEQUAHIC HIGH SCHOOL NEWARK , NEW JERSEY ABSTRACT Most observers agree that the first step in the conquest of the universe is the establishment of a space platform several thousand miles a-bove the earth. We. the graduating students, have reached this space-platform stage in our lives and are ready to depart into the void Behind us are twelve years of study and training which have been gradually intensified so that we can now withstand the intense pressure and strife of the future. Ahead lies interplanetary conquest, supersonic speed, and time travel. We face these challenges and their accompanying hazards with a determination to succeed and to establish our position in space. Our training has been ideological as well as materialistic. In order to conquer space, we must first conquer ourselves. Men must be made to realize that the quarrels for power and prestige which have dominated our world’s history are wasteful, shameful, and suicidal. As future citizens. we are faced with two alternatives: peace, prosperity and progress, or war. waste and annihilation. Pure logic should dictate our choice. We must establish that elusive world peace. Then and only then will the myriad worlds which surround us be opened, and everyone benefit from the knowledge and resources of a peaceful world in a peaceful universe. lots SQUnA We. the new generation, dedicate ourselves to the task of building a better, tranquil tomorrow. From the vast space in life occupied by doubt and insecurity we will strive to carve a utopia governed by practical morality and idealism. We dedicate ourselves to the labor of constructing new highways leading to peace, prosperity and a bright future world. Our tools will be the knowledge life affords us. Brotherhood, the most binding force in life, will be used in place of mortar. Stone by stone we will build these paths to a better world, by supporting the U. N. and by actively participating in all governmental affairs. We shall toil to obtain more knowledge and better under standing in human relations. We shall wage an un ending battle to eradicate prejudice, a force which impedes the construction of the highways to the new future world. We dedicate ourselves to these things as the citizens of tomorrow. We will have a better tomorrow only if we ourselves make it so CONCRETE Michael Conovitz PRINCIPAL To the Class of January 1954: The telescope has opened up a sublime vista of worlds upon worlds extending far out into infinite space. The microscope and the electronic microscope have uncovered an infinite world of living organisms and inert matter hitherto not visible to the naked eye. The world of the human mind is equally diverse and infinite in scope. As we observe the growth-of scientific knowledge during the 5000 years of recorded history, and as we note the vast and evergrowing variety of artistic expression, we arrive at the inevitable conclusion that there are still many excitingly new forms of art with which to experiment. The mental horizon like the physical horizon is still far away. The frontiers of science and art still lie ahead. There still is great work to be done by the young in spirit, the daring in imagination, and the courageous of heart! VICE PRINCIPAL Annex Rulers of Realms ZODIACAL LIBRARY STAFF scar Marion L.

You've watched over us as a shepherd watches his flock, and often we were a restless flock. You've helped us over the bumps that so often threatened to throw us off the right path. But we’ve survived these four years thanks to you. Your patience and understanding when we needed a friend, your helpfulness and time when we needed inspiration, will never be forgotten. Thanks.

Conrad’s Comets Glowing brightly in cometarium 309 are luminous heavenly bodies known as comets. Whereas most comets are irregular in form (so says Webster) Squish Lavor and Marv Mayor hardly find irregularities in the form of Helen Kerrian. More interested in peering through the windows overlooking Aldine St.. Larry Pass, Stuie Gins-burg and Burt Finkelstein use their comet-finders to inspect the Chevies and Pontiacs perched below. Arnold Pressman and Barry Gruber do their homework, racing the clock to finish before period one. Whirling about their orbits are Faith Blinder. Lois Saunders (paint brush in hand) and Ruth Krone (always on her toes) chattering incessantly. whiling away the minutes. Tip-toeing quietly out the door are Bernie Slamowitz and; Norman Ades. Oh-Oh! Miss Conrad takes no chances with this h yperbol i cal I y-moving twosome and she therefore re-routes them back to their seats. Adding their honorable names to cometarium 309 are Bev Farber and Josephine Guttman both of whom are in the group of the top ten brightest comets, not forgetting to mention Roberta Blake who is up there also. Busily writing up her cometary is Helen Schenkel. star secretary of the class Oops! She slipped out the door, but not before saluting as any lieutenant of the twirling squad would do. and she's off on more class business, no doubt. Wow! She’s awful busy for only half a comet! Friendship, friendship, just a perfect blend-ship Who? Why Marge Sigillito and Marion Vivona, of course. Sitting guard by the door is Roberta Blake ready to bop any invaders from space over the head with her trusty baton. Rah, Rah. Sis. Boom. Bah. Cometarium 309 Rah. Rah. Rah. Such an outstanding cheerleading captain as Flo Kaufman keeps the homeroom in high spirits.

Finkel and Frank meander through the aisles ejecting their views upon the various groups a-bout the room. Well, all are accounted for except Norman Karp and Jerry Sheitelman who are nowhere in sight. Oh! That's right—they're downstairs offering their musical talents to the little ones in the “B assembly. And so. the tail of comet 309 comes in view as it moves faster and faster away from perihelion, encouraged by the engaging rays of sunshine emitted by Weequahic High School. Martino’s Martians 1 A Strange Breed.” That’s what they call us. Why? Come along and see. Here's a gas mask, for when you enter the domain of Martino's Martians you never can tell what smell of gas will greet you. The Martians, of course, are impervious to all these horrible odors. The first person you see upon entering is Myra Schwartz trying to do her homework. Gladys Levine is trying to distract her. Seymour Retsky enters with the weekly papers and soon his customers come in. Harold Binenstock and Irwin Keller soon are arguing about sports, while Cindy Rock and Arlyne Schwartz are talking about Friday Night. Flo Horn is getting ‘‘Calumet” orders and Sis' Levine is collecting Legend ads. As the warning bell rings. Earle Meyer, Harvey Kemper and Ralph Lowenbach stroll in. breathless from their ride in the Kempermobile. Now the rush is on. Artie Rosen tries to work, but soon quits. Jerry Moskowitz. Ralph Zinn. and Harvey Feizenberg hurry in. Doris Heninger prepares to take attendance, while Wanda Propper, Sherry Willis, and Carole DiGiovanni. cram for their tests. Eunice Klein, Shirley Beim and Fran Adler are discussing their boy friends in far away places. Ira Feitel and Sylvio Cicalese discuss the latest drumbeat..J Al Schachter just comes in before the bell. Now ogr hero's enter. Football stars Joe Brand and Larry Dinetz arrive just at the bell, and class president Charlie Bernhaut comes in late. Of course, he was on official class business. Head Martian Martino now shouts everyone into his seat and gives us the order of the day. The daily services are held and then this horde moves in its mission of mischief and learning? Stamelman’s Skyrockets Planet 327 in its orbit Blasted a rocket away To senior stratospheres And graduation day. But-alas!—by jumpin' Jupiter. Before our goal was reached.

Hark to a story repeated each year. Listen to words ever same, always changing Words that bring mem'ries sad and yet dear. We speak now of futures, exhalted or humble. We speak of our dreams, just a footstep away. We pause on the threshold, life's promise before us. And memories of school days at work and at play. Our classes together, our teachers and pals Too soon will become a part of the past. And now as we find Commencement Day approaching. How fondly we wish our school days could last. A chapter of life, all its joys, all its sorrows Now draws to an end. leaving school days behind. So classmates and teachers: farewell for the moment. Though years may divide us. our memories will bind. RHOOA SOSNOW 45 EXCELSIOR or Backward We Look But Forward We Go • When most classes enter high school it isn't a world-shaking event. Our Class of January. 1954 entered the Weequahic High School Annex as the United States entered the Korean War. Somehow though, school events went on just normally and as freshmen we watched the mighty seniors produce The Admirable Crichton. It was in this year. 1950. that the first senior prom was held outside of the school gym. at the Terrace Room. Sis Levine began her literary career as Annex Editor of the Calumet, and Adele Kotler and Sandra Morris began to strut their stuff on the twirling squad. • • The year 1951 gave an indication of a change to come in our school and country. The first change began in school. The class of January '54 became Sophomores, and our beloved Mr. Herzberg retired and was replaced by Mr. Conovitz. An even more startling change took place this year when, believe it or not. the Weequahic High School Indians took the City Football Championship! Sheldon Midge Geller began his football career on this outstanding team. The Schenkel twins and Sis Levine cheered the team on as new members of the twirling squad, as did our cheerleader Flo Kaufman. Later. Roberta Blake joined the twirlers. • • In 1952. when the American people elected Dwight D. Eisenhower as their President, we. the Junior class, held our first elections. Herbie Slifer, our President. Asri Strip, the Veep. Helen Schenkel. the Secretary, and Fred Simon, our Treasurer held the reins as we galloped through the gym for our 3A Harvest Hoe Down. Also in this year, many from our ranks became members of the Honor Society. Judy Schenkel served as Secretary of this organization and Asri Strip began campaigning for next year's elections. Weequahic High School won the Swimming Championship of the City for that year, with Marty Lavor leading the team to victory. • • 1953!! We're Seniors!! We became the first class ever to elect senior officers for the entire year. Charlie Bernhaut became the President of the Senior Class while the other Junior officers were re-elected for the Senior year. Finally, it came our turn to produce a class play. A Date With Judy brought out great dramatic talent in our class. Stars were born and Marv Mayer. Ralph Lowenbach. Steve Schwartz. Judy Slatin. Al Hershdorfer. Lenore Siegel, and Lois Roseman were launched into show-business careers. Dragnet and Red Buttons were the rage of the year when Alan Hershdorfer was elected Sagamore Judge. Asriel Strip's campaigning paid off. and he was elected President of the Honor Society with Judy Schenkel and Sandra Hershbain as Secretaries. • • Our Senior hearts were overjoyed that summer of 1953. as peace came to Korea, and many of us welcomed home brothers and boyfriends from the war. • • Our 4B Hop. Evening in Paris. finally came and brought with it the realization that our school days were growing short. A few months later came our Prom, held at the Terrace Room. Sadness was mingled with happiness that evening, as we approached the last month of school. Then that anticipated night arrived. We received our diplomas and bid a sad farewell to our friends of so many years. • • Now. grateful to all who have aided us during these four years, and excited at the prospect of things to come, we leave Weequahic High School as students, but with the realization that all our past experiences, as earthshaking as they might have seemed, served only as the groundwork upon which we will construct our post-commencement lives. SPACE: OUR FUTURE • • Raise your eyes from the earth and look to the stars. This might very well be the theme of our generation to which the impossible has now become the foreseeable. • •Travel back down the corridor of time and join our cringing, fearful, ancestor emerging from his cave to gaze in awe at the blazing panorama of sun, moon, and stars spread majestically above him. Feel the thrill and the wonder of the first groping toward knowledge and understanding of that unattainable world. Stand gratefully beside Galileo. Copernicus and Einstein as they chart for us an unlimited future in the vast and unknown stratosphere. Their accomplishments, which we have inherited are at once inspiring and just a little frightening. • • As our country has progressed in every field of endeavor, so have our scientists striven to conquer the mysteries of the skies. As man has risen from the morass of superstition and ignorance, so has his knowledge of the heavenly bodies and his ever-increasing desire to know yet more kept pace. • • A generation ago man dreamed of soaring like the birds and he has done so. He envisioned a world of machines and this he has accomplished. Now the great dream has become the released from our earthbound limitations to conquer the heavens. Who is to say that in our lifetime this, too, may not come to pass? • • In this enlightened civilization, where the greater part of human achievement seems to be directed toward death and destruction, perhaps the salvation of our race, both physical and spiritual, lies in just such an attempt. • • We who are about to step into this new and promising era have a great challenge confronting us. Alexander the Great cried because there were no new worlds to conquer. We are more fortunate. Untold and undreamed of doors await only the opening. Can we meet this challenge? We think we can.

David Bucharest Director ON STAGE As I stood backstage ready to make my entrance, I remembered those first auditions for our 3A-4B play, A Date With Judy. In the jam-packed auditorium, representatives of both classes were ready to compete for a role. The eliminations lasted many days, and as the crowd dwindled, the tension grew Finally the day of decision arrived. I shall never forget my feelings when I was told I had been chosen for a part. Nor shall I forget the excitement and great joy experienced by my fellow players. Then came hard work and long hours of rehearsing. Often we trudged home with heavy hearts because our rehearsals were not going as well as we wanted. Then a beam of light, a spark of joy, a ray of hope! No longer were there crude unpolished attempts; instead, we moved closer and closer to perfection. Then I shall never forget the cast's thrill when our scenery was finished and there appeared before us a beautiful room full of the comforts of home. It was then that we all realized how concrete our efforts had been and how worthwhile. Unlike space, remote, unpredictable. and unmeasurable, this was something which we could see and feel. And now I return backstage where my thoughts were wandering back to reality, back to my entrance. The rest is now history. The play turned out a great success. The audience applauded and the cast was content. Soon this audience will forget, but in the hearts of each member of the cast will be the memory of our great experience and our great thrill. ■49 BIDS 50 ENTERTAINMENT RESERVATIONS DECORATIONS 51 aRR£ngWnts PROM COMMITTEES STAR DUST r e Bie ?-tHN AfrtNfyc,, tv£l$$HAN N!FNUf A.' IV XMN ¥m ’ ‘ r - H(5tfCSCtH COMMENCEMENT: THE TAKE-OFF Just like a jet-propelled rocket ship leaving Earth for the unexplored. the Class of January '54 is departing from familiar grounds to pioneer the unknown. The cheering crowds struggle to gain a glimpse of the young explorers as they climb the steps and board the rocket. The door of the ship swings shut and the guards force the anticipating crowd away from the takeoff area. Suddenly the giant vehicle emits a sharp whirring sound; the engines have started! What was previously a wild gleeful shouting mass has now become a hushed group of sharp-eyed spectators. Then without warning, the monstrous metal bird leaps from its spot and swiftly soars sunward, leaving below the breathless people, gaping in wonderment. As if the onlookers haven't been amazed enough, the giant rocket reaches a sudden stand-still a few hundred feet above the ground. The people stand below, horrified as the giant spaceship shatters high above the earth, with its occupants inside. But then, from within, numerous smaller rockets appear. Eyes popping, mouths open, the people on the field strain their necks to witness the unexplained miracle. Each of the smaller rockets is zooming ahead, each in its own direction. Some go eastwardly. others go westwardly. Some seem destined for the stars and others make a move to the moon. What was once a huge rocket with one definite goal has now become many smaller ones, each with its own destination. each independent of the others. The crowd separates about the field and the people wonder. “What will become of these young pioneers; will we ever see or hear of them? Commencement is this sort of takeoff. Though we all start together, we usually end differently, each going our own way, after being together for so many years. We all have our aims and aspirations. Some of us reach our destination whereas others, for unforeseen reasons, do not. Commencement or takeoff; whether we attain our graduation day goals, whether we make a five-point landing on the moon, all becomes evident only with the passing of time.

New Jersey, being as sound of mind as can be expected after four years of grinding (?) toil, do hereby make, publish and declare these to be our last relics. To Mr Conovitz we leave our sincerest thanks and appreciation for his lime spent in guiding us. To the Class of June, 1954 we bequeath the treasured torch, which we hope will be used to light its way to school, early in the morning. To the Junior Class we leave the thrill of seeing their first “A” assembly, with the realization that it is no different from the “B”. save for the dignity and superior manners of the senior group To the Freshman we leave the thrill and honor of knowing that some day they too will be SENIORS! To the Faculty we leave the happiness at our departure. To the remaining girls we leave our empty booths at the Leslie Sweet Shop. To the Janitors we leave the joy of scraping Double-Bubble Gum from underneath the desks. We give and bequeath to the school the plush seats, shiny desks, dependable clocks, the freshly-painted rooms, quiet corridors, the chem lab fragrant with its delightful odors, the lunchroom with its expert cuisine and good service, and all the other things we have enjoyed so much. We leave assorted artifacts of our undergraduate culture such as term theses.

Lenny ran first on the Junior championship 880-yard relay team. He has a fine record in dual meet competition and has received two track letters. SENIORS LARRY DINETZ 5' V mu . At offensive lelt-end and defensive right-end. Larry has been a valuable asset to Coach Stamelman's eleven for the past thiec years. In spite of a broken arm sustained last vear, Larry has won two W’s. In the opening game of the 1953 season. Larry tipped a TO pass into a teammate's hands to help the Orange and Brown compile a suable lead over South Side. Larry is a glue-fingered past receiver and a tower of strength on the defense SHELDON GELLER 5' 5' 160 lbs. Sheldon has been one of our gamest athletes. Hampered by injuries several times m the last two years, he has still carved a name m Wcequah.c sports. As a freshman he played three sports on frosh and ).V. teams As a sophomore he earned a baseball letter, playing various mfield positions. He also appeared in several football games on our championship team. As a junior he shared the quarterback duties on the varsity football team.

'‘Midge” returned from inactivity and played a stalwart, brilliant defensive game. IN MOTION ASRIEL STRIP 5'10 150 lbs. Asri. a co-captam since he lOined the team, is a consistent 180 bowler. Me is the only kegler on the squad that uses a two-fingered ball. Avi's ability to come through � n the dutch has made him a standout anchorman. In a match against East Side.

In an earlier game, after giving up a triple to a Thomas Jefferson all-stater. Fred struck out six of tho next nine mon he faced. Altogether. Freddie appeared in five games, wmnmg one, losing none.

This year he has played in every quarter, and is one of our best linemen He has a perfect build for football, being a husky 215-pound 6-footer. Steve played his best game of his high school career to quote coach Stamclman. after the Thanksgiving day game. He played an ‘ron-man defense, and figured heavily in our victory over Hillside. BERNIE SLAMOWITZ 5'9Vi 155 lbs. Bcrmc is a two-sport athlete, one of the few in our class. As a freshman he |Oined the basketball team and ployed on tho freshman team.

Joey's aggressive, fearless play made him a varsity offensive guard and defensive line-backer his first year out. The team counts heavily on Joey to hold up the left side of the wall, and his all-out. go-get-'em style of play makes him the man for the job. He is a hard worker and. though small, ho refuses to be stopped by enemy linemen In our sensational victory over Hillside. Joey sparked the line, making numerous tackles on defense, and opening holes in the opposition's wall on offense. MARTY LAVOR 5' 6 150 lbs.

Lustrous eyes neath Eastern skies, and a iconuin's veiled face. Brigands bold and their Arab steeds, trampling all in their wake. From out of the mystic Eastern lore one page from the book we take. The sands of time move slowly in the hourglass of life, But not on the desert's drifting sands, where bloodshed is and strife. Out from the cruel, lashing sting of the world's merciless hate. The soul of a man to the desert came to grapple its chance with Fate. Ruthless, daring, brutal and suave the outer husk became. But deep down in his innermost heart the man was just the same. So the drama unfolded for you is set where in days of old Eastern kings of culture and wealth lay buried in tombs of gold. Drifting sands and a caravan, the desert's endless space. Lustrous eyes 'neath Eastern skies, and a woman's veiled face. YOLANDE LANGWORTHY In the beginning, chaos prevailed upon the earth in the form of a great yawning abyss where darkness brooded. With the emergence of light a bright new world was revealed. However, like dark storm clouds, remnants of early confusion still hang menacingly over our modern-day civilization. We. the youth of today, are firmly resolved to shun the dense mists of disillusionment. The age of miracles is not over, except for the faint-of-heart and the indifferent. Aladdin’s lamp, a symbol of hope and ideals, is at our command; but only when the tarnish of corruption and greed is polished away will its golden brilliance serve as he guiding spirit of our idealism. In the grasp of our hands and hearts we hold the inspiration that will refurbish this gleaming beacon. So let us, the Class of June 1954, become “The swift runners who pass on the lamp of life.'' 3 BOB BERGMAN MESSAGE TO SENIORS Michael Conovitz PRINCIPAL To the Class of June ‘54: During the thousands of years of man's existence on this planet, periods of decimation of human life whether by flood, famine, pestilence or war have been followed by periods of replenishment when humans, according to the Biblical injunction, increased and multiplied. Periods of destruction of the material civilization built up with such great sacrifice have been followed by periods of restoration and rebuilding, often on a grander and more magnificent scale than existed before the holocaust. So today the population of the world is many times greater than it ever was. The food supply is more plentiful. The tools of production on farm and in factory are hundreds of times more effective. The means of transportation are greater, speedier and more comfortable. Our museums, libraries, schools and colleges are more numerous and more widely patronized than ever before. Many diseases common to man through the ages have been conquered. Superstition and ignorance have been reduced though not by any means eliminated. There is much more to be done in raising the levels of production and of culture, in conquering disease and—above all— in learning to live together in peace and harmony both at home and abroad. That is the challenge that faces every single one of us—young and old. 4 ASSISTANTS TO THE PRINCIPAL Constance D. Bowerman VICE PRINCIPAL A.

In the great auditorium of Weequahic Palace, twenty-nine genies-to-be were gathered here to study for three years the arts and magic of ‘'Geniism' . After meeting Grand Sultan Conovitz, and Shapiro, genie-in-charge, we were led up a winding staircase to a tower in the south wing, numbered three hundred eleven. For the first six months everything was fine. Maxine Solomon, a blonde, mischievous one was chosen head-genie. One day a terrible storm arose. It swept across the land and tore the roof completely off our tower. It rained so hard, it actually rusted the hair of Marilyn Rozansky and left it a brilliant coppor color. It also affected Marlene Douglen, shrinking her an inch or so. and leaving her the cute petite girl we know today. Immediately the Royal Builders were called in to repair the damages and we were forced to move to a different room. Yes. room one hundred and one was our temporary quarters. Maxine was still head genic and doing a very good job too. Wc were all coming along just fine, including Irwin Grossman. He was the most musical genie in all the land and his music charmed the whole palace. We were busy as bees, learning how to apear and disappear and make wishes come true. Especially busy were two blondes and two brunettes: Mimi Rothstein, Barbara Fishman, Roberta Bromberg and Sandra Goldman. This merry quartet had more adventures than Sinbad himself. By September our tower was fully repaired and we returned to room three eleven in the clouds. Election time rolled around again and Robin Miller was elected head-genie. Many times the tower shook when Robin and Shapiro quarreled. But after all was said and done, they realized it was all in fun. We were all well on our way to becoming good genics. So anxious to achieve their goals were Elissa Kriegsfeld, Ruth Margulics, and Elaine Kaufman, known to us as the genie geniuses. Also included in this group are Sherry Goldenberg. Donald Dorst. and Marvin Shapiro; but each in a different way. Sherry’s interests ranged from flying carpets to whirling dervishes; Donald was interested in the history of the world, of kings and of kingdoms; and Marvin’s interests varied a great deal. It was now January of nineteen fifty-three and a year and a half had gone by since Weequahic Palace had first received us. Margie Rugg had opened a dancing school for graceful genies in her spare time and was succeeding very nicely. Three of us had become extremely athletic genies; they were Dotty Kaminsky, Sheldon Cohen, and Helen Huffman. Dotty could do wonders with a softball, and while Helen was knocking down tenpins. Shelly was flying down the courtyard with a football. Ira Blumenkranz was now head-genie and doing a splendid job. It was hard at times keeping Maxine Solomon, Ruth Reinhard and Robin Miller out of trouble but he always managed somehow. The worst was yet to come. The following months brought bad news to our happy band. We learned that Shapiro, our genie-in-charge, was leaving us to become Ruler of ail genies in a far off land. Such sad faces we all had. What was going to become of us? Who was to be our leader now? We all knew wc would miss Shapiro terribly, but nothing could be done to keep him with us. Needless to say, Shapiro left, leaving behind him Judson, who was now to be our genic-in-charge. It was no longer necessary for us to remain in the tower as we had well learned the feat of flying to and from high places, so we moved our quarters to the ground floor to a room with a huge gold number seven. We chose Sheldon as our head genic who succeeded our musical head genie. Elaine Kaufman. Nancy Saloum had taken up roller skating as a hobby and David Rubin was very much interested in a new thing called radio and television. Marty Goldman, a very stylish genic, had acquired a new style haircut; commonly known as the D. A. It was now the end of January, nineteen fifty-four, and we had almost completed our training, when once more we were forced to move to a different room, for reasons unknown. We packed up our bags of tricks, our magic lamps, and our flying carpets and flew down the hall. At the head of the line were Diane Steffan, Elaine Zax, Oral Hogue, Donald Allen, and Ellen Bolger, the quieter genies. In room one wc began to pick up where we had left off. There was little we had to learn, but there was still some polishing to do. We were now led by Marvin Shapiro who found us easier to manage than did the previous head genies. The time for departure from Weequahic Palace was growing near. Soon we would all be on our way. Maybe some day our paths will cross as we take to the four winds and the seven seas. In the palace on Chancellor hill in the 101st Chamber, the royal subjects are gathering. King Jerry Rosenbaum reigns. Scribe Harriet Borinsky is called upon to record proceedings. Phyllis Grus-chow. Allan Klein and Lynne Friedman blame late arrival on faulty carpets. Audrey Floon. Jean Jell inek, Sylvia Field. Flo Fairberg and “Niecy Weiner gather in the rear of the room for their daily gab fest. Jack Korbman entertains himself by whistling the latest tune. Burt Weinblatt. champion court wrestler, enters bearing the humorous of humorous Fred Arm. Heralds Linda Zazulia and Nancy Bromberg bring the latest news. Dave Kopin zooming in on his green convertible magic carpet with Bobby Twardus’ Turkish Tumult Wenig aboard. An unknown enters and alchemists Jerry Mandel. Lillian Mack, and Dorothy Meyer retire to lab to test with beads and borax. Even scholars Jerry Moskowitz. Debby Farber and Nina Urdang are baffled by identical appearance of the twins Barbara and Marilyn Richter. Toby Redlus seems unaffected by the merrymaking of Judy Waldorf and Glenda Wohfeiler. Floyd Jayson is enjoying only the jest by the latter while Marilyn Tanner is gleefully taking it all in. Gloria Devor’s reserved manner keeps everybody guessing. Suddenly the tumult is broken by the voice of our sultan Mrs. Twardus. “If this homeroom doesn't get quiet, you’ll all come for detention.!!! 75 Mazaica’s Mohammeds Enter, oh ye mortals, through these mystic portals into the realm of the great sultan. Ai-Len Cohen, wherein all manner of folk dwell. See thou at the gate, the great and illustrious guards (known as-the Khyber Rifles) of the sultan: Ishmael Jerry Rudowsky. Gunga Steve Pollack. Farouk Leon Finkel. and Abdul-Bey Howie Rappaport. If thou will but turn to the right thou shalt perceive the mysterious carving upon the wall, placed there many moons ago by the former sultan of the palace. Has-sim-Amed-Charlie Printz. Accosting us suddenly is the ancient and learned soothsayer. Sabrina Ruth Dewton. who was acclaimed by the sultan after she successfully predicted the engagements of Fatima Beatrice Rubin. Ishmaiella Phyllis Goldberg and Yolanda Jewel Babst. Venturing further, one is confronted by the illustrious Gabriella Paula Green, star saleswoman for the greatest newspaper in the kingdom. the Calum-bey-Met. Now thou standest before the palace, built many years ago by the same architect who built the pyramids at Gizeh. Bairunas Bob Bergman. Walking in and to the right thou gazeth upon the marvelous dancing girls handpicked by the sultan himself (whose wondrous beauty and divine forms have even been heard of in the far off kingdom of Kublai Ronnie Kaye)—Pat Reinmeller. Myrna Blake, Lila Pochter, Jeryl Lehner. and Trudy Seiden. Passing by these beauties, thou perceivest a small room wherein dwells a tiny slip of a blonde. Harajda Barbara Hill, whose main duty is to read the Bible to the sultan each morning. All of a sudden thou seest the acrobats of the sultan, led by the supple and graceful Mai-ron Myron Shulman assisted by his three exotic partners. Myrna Panitch. Judy Okum. and Annette Aronowitz. We stand now in the throne room of the sultan and we see many females standing about him ready to do his bidding. There is Feliz Potash with a finger bowl. Linnmora Goldberg with a comb and brush to comb her sacred sultan’s blessed hair, the charming Eunice San Giacomo. who merely hold hands with the sultan, and Salome Loretta Sommers who does absolutely nothing but stand in front of the sultan, rerr - ving her several veils. Ah, but look what comes in now. the great magician Foodini Harvey Kaunitz, who will perform an astounding feat to make the matron of the firl's recreation activities Mah-zaik-ah. fade away. This is what we must do. for old tourist do not die. they just fade away. 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 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 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 Deutsch’s Djinns Trying to unfold the future of the Tribesman, a group of wealthy merchants' wives are seen in the gigantic, picturesque castle of Emperor Dicky Harris. Amid all the confusion. George Lomoga. a worthy messenger, appears with a letter in his hand telling of a great event that is scheduled to take place in the Valley of Diamonds for the beautiful Princess. Beverly Miller. Her most honored guest will be the Great Empress Deutsch. who will be accompanied by all the jewels—Charlotte Eisner. Jean Barack. Eleanor Tauber, and Rhona Sherman, women of wisdom and splendor. The well-to-do merchants. Jerry Summer. Charles Slatnick. and Martin Schulman. are making preparations for the gala event of the year. They are the wealthiest men in Bagdad, and they are close friends to Sultan Henry Bearison. a wise and swarthy Nomad, who will be present. In the corner of the grand palace, the harem consisting of Marilyn Brinton. Joananne Schaible. Dolores Raymond, and Marta Ignomirillo are speaking to the wise lady of the court. Valerie Surowitz. Marcia Orenstein. the first lady-in-waiting, is selecting an outfit for this festival. Many of the beautiful story-book maidens. Iris Senders. Snoya Fleischman. Shirley Kushner. Bonnie Strauss, and Gloria Kir-schen are having the problem of selecting a garment for the ball. Each are trying to outdo the other by having something especially beautiful and uncommon. Our seamstress. Natalie Lipman. soon tries to solve all their problems by applying psychology taught to her during her youth by the great philosopher. Sandra Cohen. She is a very talented and wise young lady, respected for her genius. The task was soon very cleverly completed, and all abided by her decisions. Arrangements are being made for the out-of-town guests by Sheila Stein. Sheila Bain will be escorted by his majesty on a camel. The royalty, headed by Lynn Marans. will pass through the carpeted streets of Bagdad. Irene Zablotsky will dance and sing to the dulcimers, horns, and zithers. Our Great Emperor will be decked in jeweled attire, and he will be seated at the side of the loveliest lady. Wanda Serafin. At the main table, the Countess Fran Katz will be seated with the gallant Barmecides. All will join in the grand festivities of this out- We are in luck today—Leading the camel caravan is our answer to the Sheik of Araby, David Jacobson with his assistant Joe Aladdin Mulligan. Overhead is Joel Schwartzman and Ronald Rosenthal and their flying carpets, practicing for the National Flying Meet. Also included in the array of celebrities are the famous Physicians. Nancy Reis. Richard Foxx. and Danny Albert who are employed by the Sultan of Bagdad. As the camel train fades into the desert, we realize that intensity of the sun. so we stroll down to the oasis where there is a refreshing pool of water. It seems even Aladdin couldn't have wished for more. There in the pool is Ralph Rothstein and Ronald Geller doing aquatic stunts. Enjoying the coolness of the palm trees are the distinguished alchemists Lois Frankel and Hilda Eskowitz. By the beard of Allah we seem to hear the mystic notes of a flute. It's those two most famous Fakirs—Hal Bruck and Norman Barr. Hal seems to be racing a flying carpet and Norman is lying on a bed of nails. Between the nails, that is). Refreshed by the coolness of the oasis we continue with our excursion. As we walk down the road we catch glimpses of Edward Bendet on his V8 powered-carpet. There is a variety of distinguished characters here today. The Sultan's sen s teacher, Harriet Mann is on her way to the Palace conversing to the Sultan's private nurse. Margie Zurka. Therefore my friends we must end this tale of Block’s Brahmins, which was written by the famous creative writer David Yehuda Ben Bass. And as we hear Muezzin’s call to prayer from the Minaret. Salaam Aleikum. Block’s Brahmins It is a very hot. dry day as we enter Block's Temple courtyard. Gazing around, we see the multitude of characters gathered there To the right of the Mosque we see the booth of Donny Dondershine and Norma Gordon, offering magical elixirs for sale. Aha! We see in the crowd that famous bearded Sheik. Len Springer. Look! There’s that distinguished Arabian scientist and astronomer, Arthur Saponara. There seems to be a crowd gathering in the center of the bazaar. Yes! It's Madam Block and her exotic dancers composed of Ruth Burt. Esther Eckert. Alice Wah. Barbara Richmond, and Bert Coon. The exotic Terpsichoreans are accompanied by the ecstatic voice of the lovely Devy Barnett and by Arthur Baum and his arrangement of Caravan. Beauty seems to be plentiful at Block’s Bazaar. There is Hal Rudnick. the eminent exporter and importer. with his business adviser Jerry Elowitz, at their Tapestry stand. Here comes a camel! It seems to be carrying a great deal of celebrities to our bazaar . There is Neal Eisenberg and Richard Rosenthal, the engineers who were responsible for the construction of Ali Baba’s Cave. 8t Just as it is said that God made man from the dust, I am sure that he made our homeroom out of nothing less active than molten lava. Yes. Ostrin's Oasis is a combination of great athletes, pretty girls, enormous brains, statesmen of renown, famous raiders and runners, and mostly yowling Wcequahic desert bedouins. We were not always Ostrin's Oasis. We started under the rule of that lily-of-the-guidance office. Mrs. Glucksman. The oasis reached its height under Madam Mcrcurio. famous trades-Queen of the desert. Every morning as the worthy warriors file to their tents you can hear jibbcring, studying, scheming. and camel talk. Our leader for three moons was Pasha Shank, with various assistants from his harem. Our representatives to the Council for Cocheyed Arabs were Ben Kubli Cohen. Saud Solomon, Pasha Shank, and Queen-of-thc-hills Ades. Ostrin's Oasis always had a contestant in the tournament for tribal leader. We also have many members of the Harem cheering staff, such as Princess Lola Lasky. Queen-of-the-hills Ades. Vivacious Heller, the Georgeous queen of the plains Gillick. Cleopatra Kleinman. and Bountiful Beverly Greenfield. The only time there is complete silence among the bedouins of 307 is when Shah Solometrius Os-trin enters and also when Ben Kubli Cohen reads the Koran. Of course, we have our radical group of outlaws who oppose discipline, charity, studyina. good marks and courtesy. They are led by Carl the Wild One and his lieutenants Bad Burt the Butcher Skolnik. Horrible Harvey Schwartz. Shah of Indianapolis. Terrible Turc Taub. Awful Austraeger. Wily Howy Walters. Ruthless Rothbard. and also Hercules Howie Smith, lover of animals and Sahara Sharon, champ counter Also there are the strong men of the tribe, a Ostrin’s Oasis privileged outsider can sometimes see these famous men of brawn and bull doing their exercises. There is in this fearful group Arnold The-Terrible-Turk-Taub. prince of the State, Solem Sanford Dreskin, Shah of Cleat, and Awful George Austrager. If it is one of the better days you might view Saudi Ben Ali Beva Karp and his harem of 32. Of course the artisan in our group is the infamous Prince of ab-stact Irwin Stavitsky. No tribe would be complete without its tribe-crier. In our tribe it is the heathen Manny New-mark. who may be seen ferrying around the homeroom selling his papers and protecting his large harem made up of Tiny Tina Steinberg. There are also several sports lovers in our group, they worship such teams as the Sahara Harem Raiders or the Gobi Increase Inhalers. These are the brave Martin Shapiro. Sam Shain. Queen-of-the-ticklers. Shady Sue Liebstien, disciple of the princess of curves. Deadly Dot Silver of the French Foreign Legion and also Abdu Patino, caravan scientist and Natalie Friedman. Argyle-queen. The tax collectors are Jeanette Hendler of money-belt fame, and the mighty mite Marsha Blackman. Since my Hookah wasted. I must leave. But I must say in conclusion it is the opinion of your humble scribe that it would be hard to duplicate our homeroom even if you had as much time as 1001 Arabian nights. mirror in back of the room, Kenneth Gross seizes the moment of silence to tell a joke to James Berkley. Marty “mousey” Stern, unthinkingly breaks Kenny's heart by giving away the punch line. It is 8:29 and the familiar sound of slammed lockers and running loafers comes to our ears. With thirty seconds to go. Marion Laskey and Margie Maisano charge in. As Marion heaves a sigh of relief Margie shifts her charm into high gear and commences to borrow some more bus tickets. She still shudders to think of the time she had to buy one. After the notices. Norman Fox proposes a raffle to help Dr. Lewin dispose of his venerable, dependable Buick. Carl Unterman, peacefully watching the magic carpets hover over Newark Airport, is disturbed by Joan Schertoff who demands his absence note for Dec. 25. Alicia Axelrad. and Barbara Pollack, are being serenaded by the melodious strains of Saul Porbin's saxophone. Saul may become a martyr to his music as Inez Ohmacht is organizing a lynching party. The time is now 8:35 and Edie Tabatchnick makes her appearance without a late slip. As she meets the cold gaze of Miss Russell, she innocently claims that she isn't late for homeroom but is unusually early for the first period. Meanwhile. Beverly Graubart and Adele Gordon dash up to Miss Russell and hand in their compositions on WHY I SHOULDN'T TALK WHILE THE NOTICES ARE BEING READ. In the midst of this. Joan Gelber and Sheila Laub are discussing their latest catas-trophies. While all is confusion. Bobbie Lipkins and Dave Hoffman can be seen poring over the next issue of the Calumet. The period of bedlam is drawing to an end and it's time for Sesame to close the door. Miss Russell to lock it. and me to stagger to my first period class. In response to the mystical words. “Open-Sez me the portals of Cavern 31 1 swing wide. (Miss Russell really uses a key but this is supposed to be the Arabian Nights and whoever heard of a sheik carrying a keychain????) Ali Baba and his forty thieves used to live here, but you can come in without worrying about your heads or moneybags as they have been replaced by thirty-six sleeping Indians. As we enter we catch sight of a huge figure in the corner flourishing a gleaming scimitar. It is none other than Frank Barrett, standing guard over last nights poker winnings. Sleeping at her desk with books and paper scattered about is Elaine Greene. Yesterday she mentioned something about not leaving school until her homework was completed. We see Janet Miller and Sondra Saidman busily knitting argyle and plaid socks to send to their respective boyfriends in Newark and Laurel-ton. Smilin' Fred Gardner, chuckling merrily at a joke he has just told himself, strolls in with Herbie Cohen. Weequahic's best-dressed man. Wait a second for Joan Curtin. Nina Danen-burg has sliped quietly in and is doing some homebudgeting. A DANGER sign will be posted do-ing-my-homework . because this is catching. The sixth man in was Herbie Schnitzer who looks around, and finally sits down impatiently to wait the arrival of Carol Sheridan. He has some original sweet somethings to whisper in her ear. As Artie Dolgan adjust his beret and suspenders before the Russell’s Raiders As we enter the last mysterious door of the 1001 nights and peer into weird realms of Aly Blank and his 30 thieves, we are greeted by Head Master Ray Goldfaden. He is deeply engrossed in a conversation with Flossie Gross about her illustrations which are decorating the pads of Scribe Rebecca Klein. Blank's Brigands Corrine Forster peers over her veil to speak to Herb Gordon, master of the symbolic chemistry while Lenny Rosenberg and Norma Schachtel are discussing Saturdays tournaments at Unterman colesseum. A swish of skirts reminds us that Betty Frankie has arrived for a chat, only soon to be on her way again. Phil Godfrey Davison and Sixth Ward President Norm Sherman along with their talent sprouts Richie Levinson. Strong Ronny Pross. Larry Yorn, and Sid Whippy Jones Lehner are digging ’54 flying-mobiles. Harvey Newman is trying to advertise the exotic foam he serves at the phosphate parlor. While this is going on. Al Melnik and his pal Gersen Chanowitz are discussing affairs in Trinidad with Linda Fenwick and Pat Geschke. Paul Holub is trying desperately to listen with one ear as he plans future predatory expeditions. The golden portals open and Millee Kantor enters with her usual morning smile, followed by Tony Fasano winner of the Arabian Cross Country Meet. Hold that pose. shouts Al Lehrer. Mike Meyers and Ronny football Keefer must cease discussing camel races within the sport shop, giving Sandy Fisher a minute of two to dream another circuit. The sound of the temple-gong is heard throughout the winding halls heralding the late arrival of Lenny Carfin. who probably couldn't find a parking space for his carpet. Burnette Davis. Esther Sherman. and Gerry Tanenbaum rush in after him and thus we try to begin our morning within the bizarre walls of this alluring room. 84 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We. the exhausted Class of June 1954. hoping to be of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and Testament.

Mr. Eisenberg: I am sure it is one of the finest classes I have dealt with. They have shown that they are outstanding in and out of school. I am glad to see so many fine men and women go out into the world.' Mr. Lustig: It is one of the best classes we have ever had. Mrs. Block: Those I've had have been good students, cooperative and well-behaved . Mr. Blank: My opinion of the class is high. They have proven alert and industrious. They qualify highly as ladies and gentlemen in every sense of the word.” Mr. Gross: As charming a group of people as we have seen in the past half year.” Miss Undritz: They are bright but too easygoing Mr. Bruder: From what I hear, from what teachers report, and from those I personally know, they are a particularly well-prepared group with good intelligence and will to participate fully in all their activities. Mrs. Rous: Not only did I enjoy teaching them but enjoyed learning from them. Mr. LaPenna: Judging from the two groups I have had and from contact with students who ask me about college. I would say that the June '54 class is one of the best classes to have left the school from the standpoint of scholarship, interest in college, and certainly of vocational choice. Mr. Bucharest: I think the June 1954 class is a credit to Wee-quahic High School. It contains a maximum of fine, cooperative students and a minimum of troublemakers: I have enjoyed working with them. Mr. Brennan: I think it has been one of the finest classes I have seen, not only in student ability but in student personality. We expect some to go to France on the Ful-bright Scholarship. Dr. Lewin: The two classes of 4A's that I have, include top-notch students. 86 CLASS OFFICERS CLASS COUNCIL O. B. A.

FOOTBALL The 1953 football season was one that held both surprises and disappointments Hampered by inexperience and injuries to key players, the Indians enjoyed only partial success. The opening game against South Side resulted in a 19-0 triumph. We weren't able to taste victory again until we smothered West Side. 24-7. but the great day of rejoicing was yet to come! On Thanksgiving Day the Hillside Comets fell before an inspired Weequahic team for the first time in eighteen years. After the final gun had sounded, and the Indians had won. a Hillside player was overheard telling a Comet rooter. Nobody could've beaten Weequahic today! Hats off to Arnie Taub. first Weequahic football player to be named to the All-State team. A courageous, hard-charging guard, Arnie played perhaps his toughest game in a losing cause against-Tb.omas Jefferson in which he lost 1 2 pounds! It's a small wonder that every opposing lineman feared him. Congratulations to Hal Bruck. who was named to the All-City team and Honorable Mention All-County. His two touchdowns in each the West side and Hillside games will long be remembered. Ronny Keefer is also deserving of recognition. After suffering a shoulder separation in practice. Ronny came back to be an inspiration to the team, and to gain Honorable Mention on the All-City team. Letter winners Charlie Printz. who tore a cartilage and proved that you can’t keep a good man down. Sandy the Toe Dreskin. and Woody Kent contributed to the team that we will always cherish when we look back to “those Senior Days. 102 4 | B| • •«- r «. ARNOLO TAUB Football. Basketball. Baseball CHARLES PRINTZ Football HAROLD BRUCK Football, Track RONALD KEEFER Football EDWARD KENT Football. Track The 1953 54 basketball team was as unpredictable as the weather. Coach Art Lustig changed the starting team five times during the campaign, and at mid-season he completely changed both offense and defense in an effort to find a winning combination. This seemed to do the trick, for the team improved greatly, finishing the year with an overall record of 7 wins and 8 losses. Ernie Karp's great accuracy and Jay Tabatchnick's driving lay-ups produced most of the scoring for the Indians. Artie Drucks was the playmaker. and his quick hands and agile movement bothered many an opposing player. The steady play of Arnie Taub and Harvey Kaunitz and the rebounding of Dick Harris and Hank Newman were valuable factors. Karp's fine season of play earned him recognition on the All-City team. The opening game against South Side, a pre-seascn favorite for city and county honors, almost resulted in an upset, but the Streaks arose victorious. 51-46. The Indians bounced back the following week to topple St Benedicts. 61 -50. Jay Tabatchnick led the scoring with 19 points. After losses to West Side and Central, the Indians wrote history in defeating the Alumni. 100-81, in Weequahic’s first night game. The 100th point, netted by Ernie Karp, was a school record Barringer fell easily, but South Side and West Side once again set the Indians back on their heels. It was at this point that the offense and defense were changed. Barringer fell for the second time with Karp contributing 26 points. Two days later Karp and Tabatchnick sparked a now inspired team to an upset victory over Central. Thomas Jefferson interrupted the Indians skein, but Hillside and Perth Amboy added to our win column. In the latter game. Ernie scored 32 points, eclipsing the individual school scoring record of 30 points held jointly by Al Lubetkin and Al Merkin. The Montclair game proved to be a heartbreaking encounter when the Indian cagers played their most brilliant game of the year. Then, a defeat at the hands of Garfield ended the season. 10 HARVEY KAUNITZ Basketball.

Coach Meyer Schwartz, in his second year as Weequahic mentor, is molding his outfield around Arnie Taub. All- City outfielder. Another sure starting outfielder is long-ball hitting Art Novom. The infield will center around agile Lou La Porta at short stop and Herbie Cohen at first base. Len Cohen. Ron Geller, and the versatile Harvey Kaunitz will fill the other infield positions. Holding down the catching post will be Sandy Dreskin. one of the finest catchers in city league competition. Outfielders Buddy Seligsohn and Jay Tabatchnick. and huriers Hank Newman and Fred Gardner complete the senior aggregation.

Captain Ralph Rothstein was the sparkplug of the team, swimming primarily in the 100 and 200-yard events, placing high in both events in this year's city meet. Ronny Geller and Buddy Seligsohn competed mostly in the 40-yard sprint, but both boys graciously swam in longer races when valuable points were needed. Buddy placed third in the 40 in the city meet.

Track Cross Country and Track Cross country and track, two of the less-heralded sports at Weequa-hie. nevertheless produced an array of fine performers. The harriers opened the 1953 season very strongly against Irvington and continued to show their strength against Central. Then the team was struck by that old nemesis, illness. Stu Stark, co-captain, was struggling through each race with a sore back, and Herb Sonnabend was confined to bed with a virus. This put the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of co-captain Bill Rothschild, who carried the team nobly with assists from Len Springer. Bill Kubic. Tony Fasano. and Dave Hoffman. The 1954 track team is shaping up nicely as the Legend goes to press. Captained by Stu Stark, one of the finest half-milers in the state, the cinderman are looking forward to a fine season. Returning to the squad are Hal Bruck. crack sprinter and broadjumper; Bill Rothschild, ace distance runner; Bob Bergman and Barry Reiss, top performers in the hurdles and high lump; Herb Sonnabend. middle distance runner; and weight men Ed Kent and Art Dolgan.
