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

We had much interschool competition against such schools as Hillel, Emek, Westside J.C.C. With the help of our coach Alan Rosen, we were in great physical shape and played very well. Our proud parents, principal, vice -principal were there to cheer us on. We not only learned to play well, but we also learned good sportsmanship. This activity was well liked and en- joyed by all. Peter Ross JERUSALEM FAIR On November 28, 1972, the whole school went to the Jerusalem Fair. On our way there in the buses the great Yavneh art 1 was displayed as we sang our way to 5ie Los Angeles Convention Center, where the Fair was being held. When we got there, we were split up into little groups and as we walked along, we saw the beautiful Lion ' s Gate of Jerusalem to be walked through with great pride, emotion, respect, and honor. We then neared many differ- ent pictiu ' e displays and booths, showing and selling products from Israel on her industry, economy, people, schools, social life, jewelry, food, and more, all from Israel. There was a big Israeli market with all kinds of different groceries, products, and Israeli food and this was all accompanied by an Israeli accordionist. This was a very educational and fun experience for our entire school and also for all of Los Angeles.

We went to Rancho Park and joined the many people awaiting our per- formance and the performances of other Israeli actors, dance groups, and singers. It was a very musically enjoyable and fun day for everyone. Millie Kaplansky STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS This year ' s Student Council election proved to be one of the closest races in Yavneh ' s history. For an entire week all of the candidates were putting up detailed posters and mak- ing vibrant speeches all over the school. All the students were very involved with their cheering being heard all over. At the end of that very exciting week came that important day when everyone in the school voted for the person who they felt would do the best job for them. CLASH DAY Every year in Yavneh it is a tradition for the eight grade girls to have Clash Day . On this day, the girls dress up in many things that don ' t match. The girls wear extra paraphernalia such as socks, necklaces, belts, etc. This year the whole eighth grade, both boys and girls really clashed. All the girls wore two different colored socks and tliere were many striped skirts worn with patterned blouses underneath clashing vests. Two of the girls really went as far out as to wear two different shoes, three socks, and even two different ribbons. It was the same with the boys. They wore shirts on their legs and shorts over pants, together with clashy tops. It was really fun and CLASHY! Millie Kaplansky David Nagel
