In his spare time you might find him playing with computers or bike riding. David ' s future ambition is to become a computer programmer. Much suc- cess, David. 7 £ Jouniain of Uoutn Far away in a land unknown, lives a man by a stream. He lives for years and years He also sees the world change before his eyes, But does he change? No, why you ask? When he was young, his life was changed when he drank from a fountain of all colors. They were colors you can ' t imagine; colors that were so bright they could hypnotize you. He was able to go back in time and start all over again and correct all his mistakes. He never was to see the angel of death again. At graduation, we drink from the fountain of youth, but unlike the man we will not be able to go back in time to correct our mistakes. So we must choose wise paths and whatever paths we take will be intelligent ones. by: Hershel Herskowitz 33

The Bridge We are crossing a narrow bridge of life, Should we go to the left; Or should we go to the right? We leave the school with a very warm feeling These thoughts will remain with us with a very spe- cial meaning. These years have been the best, I am sure we will always remember. We are crossing the bridge with thoughts in mind; Dreams and wishes we will forever treasure. By: Helen Machlovitz ?n:i ' ' D ' ' 7 i3i n3KT ikq n:: nwin 3 ' 70Ka nD ' o H A: G: E: Hear O ' Israel Hashem is our g-d Hashem is one. All of B ' nai Israel are one. Give Tzedkah each and every day. Every Jew should love another Jew. S: Say brochot on every thing. H: Honor and respect parents and teachers. E: Each person should do mitzvot. R: Read and love the Torah with all your heart. By: Stella Fogel The Brook On top of the brook stands a narrow bridge Waiting for someone to cross it. It stands there above the water rushing by, Wejust think about it and sigh. Don ' t worry little bridge. Soon we will be cross- ing. We will admire the brook below you as we are walking. We will listen to the water rushing by. We will think about it and sigh. By: Helen Machlovitz Israel The Holy Land Israel, the land of happiness and joy surrounded by beautiful mountains and deserts. May Hashem bless Israel and his people and give them freedom and peace. By: Stella Fogel Oh, Yavneh! The time has come to say goodbye! But how can I leave? Years go by so fast, And when they ' re over, I wonder where they ' ve went. Graduation is awaiting, the moment is near. But how can I yet leave? My teachers? Well, they ' ve taught me what shall stay with me forever. I ' ll miss you Yavneh, I really will! By: Binah Silberberg Leav ing Yavneh Upon leaving Yavneh I have many a thought. The knowledge I have gained from all that I have sought. The challenges I have met and conquered, The many years unwasted and unsquandered. I will remember much of these years. The laughter, the fun, the emotional tears. The visions, ideas, and thoughts I have explored. The vast pools of knowledge securely stored. By: Barbara Bastomski 34 What can I say? It ' s graduation day. We ' re standing here tonight. Scared and shivering full of fright. After many years at this school. Secular learning is our tool. With Torah learning as a guide. In our teachers we can confide. We strive for a higher learning. To fulfill our inner yearning. Today we are crossing a bridge to a new way. We, at Yavneh learned something every day.

To further education. To take a step into the future. But the feelings and memories of Yavneh will always remain with us. By: Faye Thompson
