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

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.

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.

This is what we must do. for old tourist do not die. they just fade away.

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.
