the JflOUORy 195G UMAHIC HIGH SCHOOL ntuiflfiH, otui JLRSty Recorded herein are the minutes of our meeting. This volume is the record of our moments together, the visible symbol of all we have shared: our smiles, songs, and tears. Youth is fleeting; think not of its brevity, but of its fullness. Let us face the future with the beauty of our memories . . . w.. - ........ -T -- - — - -r-: who has always found a minute to help us solve our problems whether they be about refreshments for the 3A Square Dance, a change in schedule, or some serious difficulty at home—to Mrs. Bernstein, who came to guide us in our 4A term through our Prom. Torch Day. and graduation to a secure tomorrow- and to Mrs. Schechter. Mr. Gross, and Mr. Bruder, who have given us an hour daily of their energy and wisdom so that this “Legend” might be born of beauty, sincerity, and lasting words and take its rightful place in the annals of Weequahic. To every life there comes a time supreme; One day, one night, one morning, or one noon, One freighted hour, one moment opportune, One rift through which sublime fulfillments gleam.” MARY ASHLEY TOWNSEND To the Members of the Class of January 1956: The time has come for you to break away from the comparative shelter of the high school environment and to take your places, as responsible young adults, in a challenging world that will demand of you nothing less than your best. Behind you lie the devoted efforts on the part of your teachers to sharpen your minds, stimulate your intellectual curiosities, and gird you with the armor of morality and a code of ideals that places a higher value upon service to others than upon self-seeking Ahead of you lie unprecendented opportunities to labor in the cause of social justice and in the utilization of scientific and technological advances toward the betterment, rather than the destruction. of mankind. As you take this momentous step. I wish for each of you throughout your lives a full measure of contentment, an abundance of God s blessings, and the wisdom to recognize and to grasp your own particular freighted hour. Sincerely yours, ----------- Constance D. Cornerman ACTING PRINCIPAL 4 Irvin; J. Goldberg ACTING VICE PRINCIPAL 3A AND 48 CLASS ADVISER Our recollections of the future will. I am sure, bring to mind many mutually pleasant memories. I hope that the personal bond between the Class of 1956 and me will grow stronger through the years. Thoreau said.

[Haller Merman VICE PRINCIPAL Annex 5 CLASS ADVISffi marie R. Bernstein 4A CLASS ADVISER Dear Graduates: Our span of service together has been a short one and, I hope, a relatively happy one. Congratulations to you all. I wish for you the successful achievement of these universal human goals: to work at an occupation agreeable to you and to enjoy the fruits of your labor; to be well-fed. housed, and clothed, and in. mental and physical health; to live in communities free from crime; to have great pride in our country and a sense of privilege in adding to its greatness: to live fully and confidently, without being subjected to prejudice, suspicion, and unwarranted attack; and finally to enjoy the blessings of peace.

The red of the dawn had faded by now And the Seniors and Juniors all made us bow Sheepishly, in awe of their grace. As shyly we tried to keep us with their pace. The boy's got D.A 's, the girls bleached their dips. And our frantic antics brought mirth to the lips Of the Juniors and Seniors. They said with a smile You’ll be like us in a little while The minutes slipped by but we stayed the same— A hundred different people under one name The Sophomores—scperate. disunited, apart. No soul, no body, no brain, no heart. Distant, remote, alone we all stood. And the voice of the future said. This is no good. Unite, all you classmates, unite and be one. Join, and share the rising sun.” The Grammar School night was far in the past When the Annex doors were opened at last Hopes leaped high, and hearts had to sing We were in high school. That’s the main thing! The Hawthorne halls re-echoed our cries While proud parents watched with tears in their eyes. It couldn't be more than a moment or so Since the time when we'd first started to grow. And yet. there we were, as old as the dawn Ready to dash across life's bright lawn. So we dashed and we danced and darted around. Just barely keeping our feet on the ground. Some girls made twirling, and cheering claimed Ruth. At the Chancellor Y we hid our youth Behind lipstick, cigarettes, big talk and such. We wanted the Main Building so very much. Noon—JUNIORS The sun rose higher in its dome of blue And its warm, friendly rays penetrated through The clusters of humanity. And beckoned us forward towards unity. The 3B elections with margins slim Brought forth Anita. Ruth. Joel, and Jim. And the same was true in 3A. But instead of Anita we had Ray. Committees were formed and at first glance It was going to be a square square dance. Expectations were low. good attendance seemed doomed Til from the depths of the future an angry voice boomed. I've told you once. I'll tell you once more If you don't work together wou'11 be knocked to tl e floor And better classes will trample you down. That’s all! And he left with a frown. The floor of the gym was flooded that night With happy hearts and colors bright With whirling skirts and smiling faces As everyone took their square dance places. Laughter drowned out the guitar's steady strum. Then Joel Samitt asked us all to come. So we finished the dancing and came in flocks To partake of the Samitt's bagels and lox. We sang and we joked and suddenly knew That the days of disunity were forever through. 50 Twilight—SENIORS The 4A elections pointed the way To Jimmy. Judd. Lance and Ray. The first of our projects seemed quite sane: A picnic held in Cherry Lane. So thirteen cars up Chancellor rode. Love for fellow classmates each face showed. Hiking, singing, eating, and laughter Would keep this in our hearts forever after. The Legend started. Torch Day followed suit. We had picnics and parties and fun to boot. The Terrace Ballroom near Christmas eve Gave no one who attended a chance to grieve. The lights low. romantic, the music divine— T'was the start of the end and this was the sign The hurry, the worry, the troubles and tears The hustle and bustle, the frets and the fears The joys and the laughter, the happiness and fun Were over. And day was done. In scarlet splendor the sun went to sleep For the class-members emotions ran deep. School was behind us. A new dawn was now— How could we face it? How? How? How? The Future smiled and softly said. The lessons you learned in the past are not dead. You saw how close a class can be When they possess solidarity. And it doesn't stop in school, my friends. For when Love is Ruler, there War ends. You've learned to love, you've learned to mix— I'm proud of you. Class of Fifty-six! NORMA FISHER Our spirits rose and when we had our chance We choose Jimmy. Judd. Anita, and Lance. The advance of our years was put on display In the ceremony hailed as Weequahic's Torch Day. Council, come to order.” Lance said. We must stop This confusion and get a theme for the Hop. Suggestions poured in; confusion reigned supreme 'Til Garden in the Rain was picked as the theme. And soon it was the eleventh of June— But where were the stars and where the full moon? How fitting the theme! How moist the mood! From behind the rain the moon did no good. The Hop went off well, and slim was the chance That we’d ever forget this 4B dance.

The seconds dosey-docd to tunes of the band of the late Mr. Fred Riecke while the minutes sashayed behind a table laden with all kinds of treats, tangy cider, and giant doughnuts. Even the clock almost skipped to-my-lou as it looked down into a basket covered with brown and green leaves to view the ever-moving 3A’s. Round and round the boys in blue jeans and bright plaid shirts spun their pretty misses. Then they promenaded with ease and grace, changed partners, and about-faced. All joined hands and became one gigantic circle, one big family, laughing, out of breath, shuffling, sliding, almost slipping, but not stopping until the floppy straw hats fell over their skips and trudges. Then they plumped down cross-legged on the floor and turned their attention to Lance Posner, the M. C. of the big show. The 3A’s. their officers Joel Samitt. Jimmy Williams. Rachel Sissel-man, and Ruth Ford, and their advisers. Mr. Goldberg and Mr. Hofer, enjoyed the entertainment. They sat mesmerised by the abra-cadabra of Jerry Enis, torn with laughter by the sight of Norma Fisher in rompers reciting The Hoss. almost seeing Purple Cows’ themselves after Libby Brown’s pantomime, begging Maddie Bauman for an encore following Two to Tango, and applauding Elaine Tepper's Mambo Italiano because it was so good. Sets formed once more; but many who were weary of dancing stood around watching the whirling Virginia reelers, commenting on the beautiful scene of black silhouettes of country folk against a gold background, pointing with glee at the stuffed scarecrow in a yellow sweat shirt and blue dungarees, and smiling, chatting, feeling the warmth of being together, knowing the joy of getting to know one another.' In the magic of that evening. 140 classmates had become 140 close friends. At 11 .00 o'clock, time resumed its routine march. The 3A's. putting on their winter coats, turned for a last glance of their barnyard of contentment. It was only a gym with a few stray pieces of crepe paper and a pink balloon in the corner. CAROL KOTKIN 54 0 GURDtn in THt Rfiin It was a weary 4B class that returned from the school that Saturday afternoon of June 11. 1955. Arrangements for the Hop' had been made, and decorations were finally finished. Art and imagination had conspired transform a gym into a beautiful Garden in the Rain”. The magical effect appeared all around; there were trellises, a lily-pond, and a wishing-well—and charming little tables completed the scene The decorators scurried here and there; and when the last flower had been placed, and the last bottle of glue picked up. the local barber shops and beauty parlors were next on the agenda. At last the much-awaited hour arrived, and the Garden in the Rain began to fill with starry-eyed couples. The hectic afternoon had been replaced by the gentle happiness of Hop night—the murmur of voices and the soft strains of music. The scenes stick in our memories; our own Four Aces , the pantomiming of Maddy Bauman and Libby Brown, the singing of Jerry Peterman, the serenade for the class officers, Harriet Kay’s latest songs, and the crowning of a King and Queen. Some dancing and laughing, some songs and stories—the next few hours flew swiftly into the past. The music faded away, we all left, and our Garden in the Rain became the gym again—the 4B Hop became a part of our happy memories of youth. SUE ANNE COOPERMAN ANITA KLASS 55 (DOIMITS TO RtUlffTlBtR The Prom has passed and life has finally returned to normalcy. Yet, as I reminisce, only nostalgic visions of the last high-school December come before me. The all-important moment when my dreams came true and she accepted my invitation was lost in the shuffle of the innumerable committee meetings—the plans—the changes —the decisions. It seemed as if the continual debates and arguments would never end. As the big night approached. I felt excited and a little nervous. Would she recover from her cold in time? Had I ordered the right flowers? Would the jalopy behave? Then it was Thursday night. December 22nd. Scenes from this unforgettable evening linger yet in my memory—the girls, exquisite in their gowns, and the boys, proudly handsome in tuxedos. Even now I recall the sparkling en-entertainment. The skits that just weren't right'' suddenly were, and the Moments to Remember left an indelible smile on my heart. I can still see my classmates, dancing, laughing. whispering, looking at each other with misty eyes, each knowing it was our last time together. Time shall pass. I may even forget the most beautiful girl there, my date; but the memory of the Prom will remain with me. It think of it now, and always shall, as a symbol of beauty and happiness.

This group of rambunctious characters can always be found in the halls until that tiny piece of metal opens a door to a world they have lived in for three years. As the room becomes filled with students, we find Libby Brown, captain of the twirling squad, nudging Maddy Banias for a lipstick brush that she forgot. Ira Weiss’ endless supply of erasers start flying around the room and our basketball star. Arnie Moskowitz. intercepts and throws them into the basket. Our wise owl and editor-in-chief, Harv Flaumenhaft. can always be seen trying to retrieve his borrowed homework. Florence Slatoff states her political viewpoint which presents more reasons for Hannah Borkan. Anna Goldberger and Donald Siegel to become acquainted with the news. Weequahic’s second baseman. Joel Samitt, never strikes out as he casually chats with the ‘‘mob’' that comprises Homeroom 219. Ruthy Ford has no time for sergeants : she wants her private-cy. Five minutes before the bell, our football star. Howie Schneider, plunges into the room, Star Ledger in hand, sport section open. While doing so. he trips over Dave Rauch and Mike Yaffee who are on their way to freedom beyond the portals of Weequahic's doors. Linda Sarnow catches up on last minute homework while the inseparable two. Merna Schenkel and Lois Pilsner, discuss next Saturday night’s prospects. Elaine Tepper hops around the room as she tries to carry the latest news of the day to Carole Itkin and Barbara Radel. Barbara Port dreamily thinks of that special someone in Homeroom 123 while Maxine Starr tries desperately to get her attention. With that catching smile of his. we find Donny Stein thinking of his ever-loving saxophone as Eli Hoffman adds a brilliant luster to the room with his diverse selection of clothes. As the bell tolls, Mr. Darrah spurs Marvin Steinberg on to read the Bible. After Sara Ann Cooper informs the students about the last council meeting. Anita scoots around the 'Klass on her scooter, selling Calumets from desk to desk. On her way out, a large crash echoes through the walls as she meets Les Denburg racing against time to beat the signing of more late slips. And as the passing bell rings, we leave the world of Homeroom 219 and Mr. Bernard A.

Out in the hall Norman Ginsberg and Sandee Chudnow are Once, twice, three, shooting' trying to see who’ll come in the latest. Ginsberg lo« $ and goes for a late slip. Bobby Widekehr. Mike Fine, and Roger Kulka re-hash the last football game much to the chargin of Matty Blumenfeld and Norma Fisher who are making-out at the moment. Flip Shafer double-flips her baton and in-terups Harold Martin who is mentally composing a Rhapsody. Gladys Ingmans, Diane Prag and Sheila Peck are grouped around Bernie Bergman as he tells about the one that got away. Judd Kessler and Lance Posner, came in together shaking hands. I knew you'd do it, kid!” they say in unison. Carol Kotkin looks at 123's two favorite sons and sadly shakes her head. How’s she supposed to take attendance? No body’s in his seat. For instance. Sueanne Cooperman, Sonny laacs, and Bette Gold are giggling in the corner about the Savis Club. And Howard Huff. Marvin Solomon, and Dave Schreiber are perched on top of their desks discussing baseball. Ray Mark in desperation for yearbook ads asks his own homeroom for a $15 one. Bernie Kotkin shines up his camera lens, Arlene Latten hands out typing assignments for the Legend, Marcia Ontell dreams of her weekend, and Stuart Block buries himself in the newspaper. The room rocks with gaiety, and I, Harris Baum, have faithfully recorded the truth for posterity. The sun-dial reflects our happiness and points to the closing hour of the day.

Hourmaster Hofer searches the corridors for members of his homeroom. At 8:40. most are comfortably relaxing in their seats, and Harvey Belfer reads the notices. Meanwhile, back at the Happy Time ranch, wild Bill Hofer shouts, “Shut your gushes!” He tries in vain to separate the Siamese twins Natalie Susser and Marsha Green who are excitedly discussing last night’s dates. Joan Weisman has almost finished combing her hair when Ruth Cohen and Shirley Ezersky make a cheerful entrance. Allen Blacker, hour custodian, tries to persuade Elaine Raff, “Juliet to come in from the balcony. Marcia Freedman, a bright hour, studies while Marion Levy spends the minutes shining her engagement ring. After three years. Leann Albrecht. Janet Nalisnick. and Katherine Chak-eres still insist it was the bus driver who lost track of the time. At this auspicious moment. Janet Einhorn makes an important announcement. However. Barbara Jelling and Phyllis Knoller are too absorbed in swapping wallets to listen. Paula Stepner counts our heads and carefully checks attendance while Madeline Bauman, revenue collector, accepts the money donated by philanthropists of “Hofer's Harem . Elaine Koblentz frantically searches for a missing “Calumet article and disturbs the hot rod discussion of Bill Herpich and Melvin Cohen, terrors of Highway 101. They turn and smile appreciatively at Louise Emposimato’s pert “Jerry Lewis” haircut. Sheila Miller, taking a periodical census of the different shades of lipstick worn in H.R. 7 bumps into Rosiyn Feinstein, who is jitterbugging in the aisles.

Paul Klein, hanging from one of the ceiling's lamps, has been there for three days and still refuses to surrender his homework to the aforementioned students. Leonard Gorenstein and George Lippman are taking bets on how long the poor soul on the lamp can last. The squeak of Jerry Peterman's portable Hot Pastrami cart can be heard above all the noise. Why are all these different forms of humanity here in this little room?? Well ... I'll tell you—this is a typical day in the life of Homeroom 115 and those odd forms of humanity are typical of the 28 minute-chasers that inhabit this room every day. Watch them—take a good look and remember well. A pitter-patter is the first sound to be heard every morning at 8:00. Is it feet? No, it’s Jimmy Williams and Ray Sisselman stlil patting themselves on the back for being elected class officers. Helen Adelsohn is running around the room collecting forged absence notes. The room is suddenly disturbed by a muffled cry. Sanford Werner, while performing his daily duties, got his foot tangled in a cord as the shade whizzed upwards. Sam March, quick to his rescue, has him untangled and down in a short time. They both receive medals for service above and beyond the call of shadepulling. Citations also awarded to Barbara Wexler and Eleanor Vernosky for not once leaving their seats all term long. Golda Posner has just left to wake Herbert Steinberg and Leslie Bahler, who are sleeping in their cars outside of school. It is almost 8:25 and Renee Schultz and Barbara Gralla are busy getting everyone into their seats. Joel Dames comes in as usual, a minute before the bell, rubbing his recently opened eyes. After the services are over. Mrs. Manning compliments Vicki Wodnick and Phyllis Schmidt for their good behavior. All eyes are fixed on Betty Shereshewsky as she reads the notices. As time passes you may wonder why the passing bell doesn't ring. The reason is simple. Ileen Nelkin and Anita Glezer have turned back the clock; they now have more time to study for their test. You may also wonder why Don Kaufman isn't taking part in all this chaos. We'll I’ll tell you . . .

Witnessed by: Author—ized by: 68 Baseball During the 1955 season, the Indians waged the most successful campaign in the school’s history. The team, directed by Coach Meyer ‘ Spike ' Schwartz in his third year at the wigwam, brought the school the city league title. It was the first time a Weequahic nine had ever achieved this goal Coach Meyer Schwarts The lone members of the graduating class to play on the team were Richie Roberts and Joel Sam-itt, both two-letter men. Roberts, a speedy football halfback, used his fleetfootedness to good advantage while patroling the outer gardens for the Indian nine. His defensive play in center field rated with the finest in the city. Samitt. a basketball guard, used his speed around the keystone bag. A proficient bunter, Joel alternated between shortstop and second base during the season. His fine defensive play combined with hustle and his ability to produce the key hit made him a valuable asset to the team and an all-city candidate. May our coach continue to Spike his charges to bigger and better championships. 70 The football team of 1955 was built mainly around a nucleus consisting of nine members of the graduating class. Highlighting the Weequahic eleven were Co-Captains Jimmy Williams and Richie Roberts. Jimmy was the big gun in the Indians’ offense. He was our leading scorer and ground gainer and received All-City honors. Richie, our fleet-footed half-back, combined his speed and agility to make him one of the better all-around backs to be produced by Weequahic. Filling in on offense was Harv Belfer, who also saw considerable action as a defensive back. The stalwarts of the Weequahic line were Schneider, Kulka. and Fine. Schneider and Kulka. hard charging guards, played offense and defense; Fine had the responsibility of being offensive center. With these boys holding down the middle of the line. Weequahic was always a potential threat. Marty Shumsky, Bob Widerkehr, and Matty Blumenfeld saw their action at the end position. After gaining a starting post as a junior. Matty was plagued with injuries that kept him side-lined for the remainder of his high school career. When Shumsky and Widerkehr were given their chance, they proved capable and qualified of being our first-string ends. football 71 Basketball Under the tutelage of Mr. Lester Fein, the school’s new head basketball coach, the 1955-56 team had to adapt themselves to a change in playing style. Since the squad lacked sufficient height, the offensive and defensive problems were arranged accordingly. The graduating members who found places in Mr. Fein’s plans were Jimmy Williams, Joel Samitt, Arnie Moskowitz, Marv Solomon, and Judd Kessler. Williams and Samitt, who both earned starting births as juniors, proved to be fine defensive players and steady scorers. This combined with their playmaking ability made them valuable assets. Trying to give the Indians a scoring punch, were Arnie Moskowitz and Marv Solomon. These boys, veterans of three years, were always consistent scoring threats because of their outside shooting. Needless to say, they were key figures in the Wee-quahic attack. Providing some height for the Weequahic five was the 6'3 frame of Judd “Wes” Kessler. His valuable rebounding strength was gladly welcomed. The graduating members wish all the success possible to Mr. Fein and hope he’ll bring back a basketball championship to Weequahic in the very near future. 74 Judd Kessler Harvey Belfer Track and Jerry Peterman 76 Harv Flaumenhaft Track and Cross Country Although not as publicized as some of Weequahic's other teams, the Track and Cross-Country squads managed to produce their share of well trained, fine-performing athletes. Our class can boast many stand-outs of the 1955 Track and Cross-Country teams. Track captain. Jim Williams, broke the school record for the quarter mile, running the distance in a blazing 50.9 seconds. He also proved to be a valuable high jumper and broad jumper. Our experienced distance runners competing in the mile were Judd Kessler. Joel Dames, and Harv Flaumenhaft. Judd, our outstanding miler. was a consistent scorer for the harriers. These boys also performed capably on the Cross-Country squad. Harv Belfer. our half-miler. showed his ability by excelling in city competition. Dave Schreiber concentrated his efforts on the broad jump, while Les Denburg and Eli Hoffman ran ably in either the low hurdles or the quarter mile. Weequahic's field events were dominated by Matty Blum-enfeld and Jerry Peterman. Matty, before injuries halted his competitive competition, threw the shotput. discus, and javelin Jerry divided his time between throwing the javelin and competing in the 100-yard dash. 78 � In our inaugural season of soccer, Weequahic captured the City Championship Title. Two of our boys who contributed to this achievement were defensive men Eli Hoffman and Stu Block. Eli (5'10 , 1 50 lbs.) had all his action at the right fullback position, while Stu (5'8 , 175 lbs.) protected Weequahic’s goal from the opposing teams. Stu’s greatest thrill came from a beautiful diving save in the East Side game; Eli’s best moment came from a long down-field kick in the same game: These boys were proud to be a part of Weequahic’s first soccer team. Bouuling The only graduating member of the now abandoned bowling team was Ray Mark. A capable performer. Ray was a member of the 1953-1954 championship team that was coached by Mr. Darrah.
