THE TIME IS NOW TO SAY GOOD-BYE The time is now, not was, not will be. The day is today, not later, not we ' ll see . You stop for a second. You try to think. You know tliat you ' re now. . . And you take a cool drink. Now, look at the water. See yourself there. The reflection is true. Would you really dare, To drop a stone And muddy the water? You do, then you leave. Stepping out of tlie gutter. Walking up to your friend. You summon your strength, Good-by friend , you whisper, Hope to see you at length . You walk towards the alley. You breath a deep sigh. You say what you must, and you must say good-by. Penny Finger Good-by Yavneh, I have to go, I ' m really going to miss you so. But time has come for me to leave, Believe me this is not an easy thing. I hate to go, I really do. But there are other experiences Out there for me and you. Saying good-by is. . . Leaving a tear of sadness and sorrow, For sometliing so dear, As your last school year. As we graduate on this day, We will always remember. What our teachers did say. Michelle Perfit After nine long years in Yavneh, We feel it will be very hard. And impossible to leave. But all good things must come to an end. And we must start a new beginning. Good-by Yavneh! We ' ll miss you! Enid Dunkelman As it is time to graduate. We remember the fun in grade eight. As we look upon the years in the past. We wish that grade eight would last and last. We remember in Yavneh the troubles and the fun. Thank goodness our yearbook is finally done. We turn around to say good-by. As we leave Yavneh we start to cry. Amy Ptashkin Robert Klein Around, around. The circle of life goes. Where it will stop. Nobody knows. The friendships, the laughter, And all the people we knew. Spinning, spinning, Yavneh we will miss you! Sandra Stem When you leave it ' s very sad. Because it makes you feel so bad. It sometimes even makes you cry. But still we have to say good-by. David Nagel ..••••»», I hate to say good-bye. Because it might make me cry. I liked this school a whole lot. And I ' ll miss the baskets I have shot. Danny Blum I stand outside beyond the door, I turn around and look once more. The big gray building which I adore. With all my heart and so much more. The time must come for everyone, To stand outside beyond the door, The big gray building which they adore, And say Good-by forever more. Joel Epstein 44

c (a ll e U yrru To Rabbi Litenatsky, Whom we worked witli through the years, We will leave you witli our hearts in tears. We ' ve enjoyed school, and have learned many things, We will think about Yavneh in our hearts and dreams. To Rabbi Fisher, for better or for worse, A friend through all, we leave this verse. Filled witli love and hope for each coming year, We could never forget a man so dear! To Mrs. Podell with silky dark hair, Who gave us much homework, but still was fair. She taught us how in life to succeed. Our love to her is what we leave. To Rabbi Rubanowitz, Our teacher for two years now. We gratuitiously tell him. To take a bow. Though the 8th grade boys. Are grown and fine. Teaching them, he must have had a pretty hard time. To Mrs. Gottlieb, Our beloved teacher. When we had a problem. We could always reach her. A wreath of kind thoughts. To her we leave, For to find a friend in a teacher. Is hard to conceive. To Mr. Bisio who taught us science. We leave to him our total alliance. His spectrum was light, his teachings bright, We ' ll remember him day and night. We learned our math with love sincere, Because Mrs. Sass was our teacher this year. To her we leave a compass and ruler, ' Cause when it come to math, You sure can ' t fool her! To Alan Rosen another Jack LaLanne, We leave to him an Olympic game. He taught us to sit straight and not to slump, We will leave this school with a hop, skip, and a jump. To Mrs. Erblich who taught us all she knew. We very gratefully leave to you, TTie Hebrew language to correct and understand. For your teaching and help. Has just been grand. And to all the teachers. Who have helped us through, We leave all our love. With our hearts, THANK YOU! And to the future classes. Who ' ll soon be number one. We hope your graduating year. Is just as much fun!
