THERE ' S EVEN MORE TO YAVNEH SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADE GIRLS ' WEEKEND On Friday, February 19, 1973, the seventh and eighth rade girls boarded a bus for a weekend at Lake Arrowhead, ' pon arriving the girls ran off into the snow. Immediately snowball fight began where everyone, including the ;achers were soaked. Saturday and Sunday consisted of ?bagganing, ice skating, long walks, discussions and of ourse, snowball fights. On Sunday, our Englisli teacher, Irs. Podell, surprised us by coming up to visit us. We also ot another treat ... it started to snow. All the girls ran utside and tried to catch tlie snow in their hands. Even lOUgh it snowed for only five minutes, it was great fun. matter how wet and tired we were, we were very sorry hen our weekend ended, but we have many fond memo- es of our exciting times. Amy Ptashkin BOYS ' WEEKEND The seventh and eighth grade boys ' weekend at Timber- md Lodge, Lake Arrowhead, was the first for the boys in ver t vo years. All the boys were excited and raring to get oing. After arriving and unpacking we indulged in a igantic snowball fight, which I ' m sure Rabbis Litenatsky, Lsher, and Rubanowitz will remember for a long, long time. rev Shabbos was a night of spiritually moving davening, nirot, learning, and good food. Shabbos morning, a cold, liny day, we went out for a long hike. We ascended one f the largest hills in Lake Arrowhead, everyone racing to be le fiist to the top. Then it was time to head back, but lere was one problem. We were lost! After being drenched 1 the freezing rain for an hour and a half, we finally found ur way back to the lodge. That night, the boys had a very olorful and humorous costume and skit party, in which the oys dressed up in everything from a ventriloquist and ummy to a doctor and ill patient. After having a traditional illow fight, it was time for bed. Speeding down hills, tobogganing, and playing a little ool rounded out a very enjoyable and fun weekend. Brain Treiger THE MOVIE It seemed like it was going to be an ordinary run-of- the-mill day until They walked in. They were a group of Universal Studio ' s staff members looking for some talented actors and actresses for their T.V. movie, A Man Called John . Many Yavneh students were chosen, nine of which were eighth graders. At seven o ' clock in the morning a school bus drove seventy -seven sleepy boys and girls to a rusty old boat docked at San Pedro Harbor. Dressed in the ragged attire of Turkish Jews during 1942, the students boarded and commenced with our great acting careers. In between takes, they had some interesting chats with Raymond Burr, Elisa Gur, Don Galloway, and other important people. They were very nice as tons of children hoarded them for autographs. All in all, we shall never forget this exciting event throughout our entire celebrated lives. Penny Finger BASKETBALL We really had a great basketball season in Yavneh this year. We all worked hard and had a lot of fun, thanks to our coach, Mr. Rosen. He helped us greatly and taught us things we didn ' t know, for example, how to play as a team unit. We hope that next year ' s basketball team will be just as good as ours was. WEBELOS The Webelos scouts had an interesting program with their leader, Bill Ross. They worked on numerous activities during tlie year and earned their atliletic badge, citizenship badge, and naturalist badge. They planned an overnight trip to Malibu and an all day hike. They planted terrariums and made Hanukah gifts for their dads. In addition, they worked on a service project for the old age home at Purim time. Peter Ross GIRL SCOUTS The girl scouts under the leadership of Bemice Ross had a varied program of activities this year. They worked on a service project for the earthquake victims of Nicaragua, celebrated a thinking day event and had an overnight camping experience. They also made many craft items which represented Israel. They had a tasting bee and sold foods from Israel. In addition, the girls sold girl scout calendars and cookies in order to earn money for the troop. Peter Ross Ronnie Meyerovics
