To the members of the Class of '57 these have been years of scholas- tic achievements and lasting friendships, but, above all, years of growth and preparation for the future. . 'nf' V, ' ' , ' ' . ..- i A OST pronounced of the many changes we have experienced have been those of a physical nature. While we have grown in stature there has been a corresponding change in the size of our school. This change was ac- complished by our movement to a more spacious building at the corner of Church and Bedford Avenues. In place of our former cramped quarters we now have large classrooms, airy corridors, and a school yard in back. This pre- sents an atmosphere which is in every respect more conducive to clear think- ing and healthful living. l y y y 'N fl ic PM I 2 it g Eu! at -Imlmilflfu vis.-ir ?

Undergraduate assistance is also of vital impor- tance in publishing a successful yearbook. Many articles, sketches, and drawings submitted by lower- termers are included, and they are also assuming an ever-increasing share of the financial burden. We would like to express our sincerest apprecia- tion to Mr. Harry Allan, faculty adviser, for his in- valuable service to our yearbook. 1. Sheldon Weiser, Photography Editor 2.

Aside from the respect our rabbis command as scholars, many are leaders of Orthodox Jewry in their own communities and give .J 1 freely of their time and effort to encourage learning and religious ob- servance.

In addition to their adeptness at teaching, several members of the department have taken upon themselves extra duties as advisers to student ac- tivities and publications. Incorporating into the curriculum courses in English and American literature, scholarship prepa- ration, and intensive instruction in grammar, they are largely responsible for the remarkable success our students have achieved on the Regents' Scholarship Examinations. --u-.imv . -, , 35' 15 5' 'xfmc-fm ' , N 'L 3. -1 4 nr .4 fu- ,- X,.'.,.

Our in- structors are drawn from several fine schools, bring- ing with them abilities which can only be gained from years of experience. In the past year our Mathematics Department substituted tenth year mathematics for the custom- ary plane geometry. This is an example of their con- stant efforts to improve the caliber of the program of studies. -and sp Mr. Israel Wallach Mr. Morris Septimus 69 fx -,Y- .ff Mr. David Schiff UR science faculty has seen more shifting of personnel than any other department, but throughout this period of transition it has maintained its high standards. When we entered the school the staff consisted of Messrs. Kallner, Lan- downe, and Lebowitzg now, after four years, the first two have been replaced by Messrs. Shiff and Davidson. General science, biology, chem- istry, and physics are the four sciences offered. Of these the first two are required, the second two optional. The science laboratory is used by all classes and practical ex- periments increase interest in the courses. Not relying on texts alone, J. Tesler and M. Press learn from personal experience in our laboratory ff 1 I l social studies f Mr. Isidore Melov HOUGH taught by one of our smallest staifs, social studies occupies a very prominent place in the curriculum. Mr. Lilker, who teaches Ameri- can and world history to the junior and senior classes, is well known and liked by all. In our senior year, Mr. Melov, who formerly taught geography and economics, left us to write a book and was replaced by Mr. Purcell.

UR General Organization, the central agency of student government, also serves as the coordinator of Y.U.H.S.B.'s numerous extra-cur- ricular activities. This year increased student partic- ipation and interest enabled the G.O. to carry out one of the most successful programs in Y.U.H.S.B. history. The fall term saw Hershel Farkas elected G.O. President and Alan Balsam Vice-President. Other officers elected were Philip Bursky as Secretary- Treasurer, Alan Kezsbom as Debating Manager, and Martin Hochman as Athletic Manager. In the spring term Ira Kellman assumed the presidency while Myron Zinaman won a close vice- presidential race. Azriel Feiner was elected Secre- tary-Treasurer, Paul Stein became Debating Mana- ger, and Martin Hochman was re-elected Athletic Manager. Left to right Vice President A Balsam Faculty Adviser J Strum. Secretary Treasurer P Bursky President H Farkas Although the G.O.'s accomplishments this year were many, there are certain events which stand out in our memories. Our successful assembly program contained such assemblies as a Freshman Orientation and Awards assembly, the Arista induction, several inter-scho- lastic debates, an open Student Council meeting, a debate preceding the Eisenhower-Stevenson na- tional elections, a rally before the M.J.H.S.L. basketball playoffs, and an assembly commemo- rating the ninth year of Israel's independence. The G.O. also sponsored very enjoyable Chanukah and spring form Purim Chagigas. Amusing programs were pre- sented by the Entertainment Commission and re- freshments were served. An innovation in the annual pre-election assembly was a forum in which the candidates expressed their views on different aspects of student government. ij I H Lx N' K f fx P?

These included the Chagigas, the Lag B'Omer outing, Variety Nite, and numerous ath- letic events. Each of these attracted more students than at any other time in Y.U.H.S.B. history, and this fact helped the G.O. realize its best year finan- cially. Student interest in the club program was in- creased in the spring term by the formation of two new clubs, a Radio Club which set up an amateur radio station and a Stamp Club. b . , ,- .ip . ix 7 1--' VLH lil :IQ g X- .4 S123 .. ,gg . 3 'U '-..' Y.U.H.S.B. proved itself to be a top school ath- letically in the many tournaments sponsored by the Inter-Yeshiva High School Student Council.

ZF f' 5 L55 fx git. Lei UR school's policy of letting the students gov- ern their own affairs is best illustrated by the Student Court. This organ of the GO. allows students accused of misdemeanors to plead their cases before, and be judged by, fellow students. The live Student Court Justices and one alternate are elected by the Student Council. These Justices then elect from among themselves a Chief Justice. A student summoned to appear is prosecuted by the Captain of the Service Squad and may speak in his own behalf or may choose a spokesman for himself. The Student Court will then discuss his case and acquit or sentence him as it decides. The sentences range from essay writing to detention for minor offenses and may lead to suspension for more serious violations. Chief Justices were Mark Press. fall term. and William Golub. spring term. Mr. Strum serves as faculty advisor. Left to right: H. Farkas. S. Sussman. Chief Justice W. Golub. B. Adler. B. Weinstock.

It operates in co- operation with the Student Court to maintain general decorum and to help keep our school clean. Students accused by a Service Squad member of violating a school rule are tried by the Student Court. In the fall term the Service Squad was headed by two Co-Captains and three Lieutenants, ap- pointed by, and responsible to, the Vice-President of the G.O. During the spring term the squad was re-organized and had only two Co-Captains. Because of the growth of our school the Service Squad has played an increasingly important pan in student government. This year's forty members were selected from over one hundred and fifty applicants. In this way each class was fairly repre- sented and high standards were maintained. Special thanks should be given to Bernard Adler and Myron Zinaman, fall term Captains, and Frederick Nathan and Jack Ness, spring term Captains. It is due to their effective leadership that the Service Squad has done such a fine job this year. Credit is also due the squad members for X their sincere and conscientious efforts.

Press Y.O.C. chairman learns at Mishmar FY? ii Z A N i. , HIS past year has seen the organization of all of Y.U.H.S.B.'s religious activities under one body, the Yeshiva Organization Commission. These activities include the Minyan, the Mishmar, and the Kashruth Committee. The Minyan, our morning prayer group, met every weekday morning under the leadership of Mark Press. The Mishmar, headed by Frederick Nathan, was held each Thursday night and an attendance of fifty to sixty students was not unusual. Led by Eli Shuman the Kashruth Com- mittee checked the kashruth of all foods sold in Y.U.H.S.B, Under the guidance of Rabbi Yogel the various committees expanded their activities to encourage Yiddishkeit in our school. As a result of this, group religious observances in our yeshiva reached an all-time high which, it is hoped, will be topped in the years to come. OLENU, Y.U.H.S.B.'s annual Hebrew maga- zine, is now finishing its ninth year of publica- tion. Its theme this year was religious philosophy and ethics, Ahavath Israel C love of Israeli, the Diaspora, and the Torah. At the same time the editors continued to feature stories on extra-cur- ricular activities around the school such as the Chanukah Chagiga and the Kashruth Commission. As has been done in the past the editors, when suggesting topics, stressed the importance of the individual's own experiences. The purpose of this was to make for greater originality and range of style. Kolenu has achieved great recognition among Jewish scholars and is well lfnown in American Jewish circles and in Israel. Rabbi Epstein, whose guidance has led to Kolenu's phenomenal develop- ment, sees a very bright future for Y.U.H.S.B.'s celebrated Hebrew publication.

Bulletin 'Q-EY 'Wa TARTED live terms ago as a supplement to The Topics. the Topics Bulletin took on added importance this year, By publishing comprehensive editorials through- out the year dealing with controversial and informa- tional topics. it gave the students a better under- standing of school activities. This was done in conformity with its recently adopted motto. Vox populi omnia vincitf' or The will of the people always prevails. The Bulletin has also aided many school func- tions. It printed a list of cheers for our basketball team and conducted a successful and enlightening poll on the nationwide elections. Besides the opinion of the students the Bulletin solicited, re- ceived, and published statements from the candi- dates for the national presidency. Edited this year by Jack Ness, the Bulletin has accomplished its original purpose. namely. to provide both a weekly roundup of school news and a means of communication between the G.O. administration and the student body. ,. 5?

In the past few years the number of books available to the student body has more than doubled. The library boasts of a new and complete reference section, having twenty-one com- plete encyclopedias, four book digests, and twenty lexicons in five languages. Among the other new additions are current best sellers and many books on science and mathematics. The response of the students to the vast improvement in the quality and quantity of books found on the library shelves has been most gratifying. More books have been bor- rowed this year than ever before. This upsurge in student interest is also due to the work of the library's own publication, the Library Journal. Under the direction of Chief Librarians Henry Goodman and Noel Nusbacher, the library staff was busy this year processing the many new books. Supervising all library activities was Mr. Ben Brender. faculty adviser. ll N.. , . . . 'F' ' it ,gc---H . Left to right: M. Pollack. M Shapiro. Chief Librarian H Goodman, A. Rosenberg. A Eagle. A.

Intra-mural debating affords the participants invaluable expe- rience in public expression. The inter-class debates take place in two leagues-the Junior League, including terms one to four, and the Senior League, including terms five through eight. The school championship is decided at the termls end by a contest between the Junior and Senior League winners. ,- fv. Our School Debating Team participated in six- teen inter-scholastic debates, more than ever before, and compiled an impressive record. For the first time several debates were held with schools other than yeshivoth, including Stuyvesant, Columbia Grammar, and Rhodes High Schools. The team was led by Alan Kezsbom, fall term Debating Manager, and Paul Stein, spring term Debating Manager. A Public Speaking Club, under the guidance of Mr. M. Turetsky, functions as a training ground for future debaters. Interest in debating was further stimulated by a series of assemblies during the year at which forums and inter-school debates were featured. TI G Left to right: A. Kezsbom, M. Zinaman, S.

Coached again this season by Abbe Gewirtz, our basketball quintet tied with R.J .J . for second place in the Metropolitan Jewish High School League playoffs. Aside from the twelve League games in which we participated, we also played games against Brooklyn Friends Ctwicej, Rhodes CtwiceJ, Colby Academy, and the Y.U.H.S.B. alumni. After losing the season's opener to Y.U.H.S. by a score of 63-49, we came back to win the next five League games, all by a close score, before again bowing to Y.U.H.S. From then until the end of the regular season we lost only once, to R.J .J ., in the final seconds of the game by a score of 58-55. XR A.- i 'e .

X ' 1 T72 .T- , 5,4 gg V? ivy NHAMPERED as in the past by the lack of an official coach and the suitable facilities, the Junior Varsity carried through an extensive pro- gram during the past season. With a former Varsity ballplayer, Marv Hir- schorn, as coach and with the added use of the George Wingate High School gymnasium, the J .V. enjoyed its most successful season. Led in scoring by T. Dershowitz and J. Werblowsky, the J .V. rolled to an impressive 8-4 record. Among the numerous games played by the J .V. this season, were two with the Monarchs, one with the Sages, and a game with the Prophets. The latter saw Josh Werblowsky score 19 points, a high for any single game. This year the J .V. took its first step towards establishing itself as one of the most important extra-curricular activities of Y.U.H.S.B. It is hoped that it will continue with its extensive program in the coming season. Leading Scorers T. Dershowitz J. Werblowsky M. Nathanson Hochman. Left to right, Seated: D. Goldmacher, J.

Kyla J i S has been our practice in the past an exten sive intramural athletic program was planned and put into effect in the 1956-1957 season. The schedule called for inter-class competition INTRAMURAL Q in slapball, basketball, handball, ping-pong, foul- shooting, and softball in both the fall and spring terms. The season's highlight occurred at the annual Lag B'Omer outing where the championship soft- ball game was played. An innovation this year was a junior-senior football game. The intramural program serves an important function, for through its keen competition it molds a strong class spirit and gives each student a chance to participate in the sport he desires to.

Lf HIS year has seen more participation in inter- scholastic competition by Y.U.H.S.B. teams than ever before. For the first time since its incep- Left tion the Tennis Team has competed in scheduled matches while the Swimming, Track, and Chess Teams have greatly expanded their schedules. N its second year, our Tennis Team, coached by S. Hoffman, participated in three scheduled meets. The first of the three against our Uptown brothers resulted in a 2-2 tie. The next match was lost by a 4-2 score to the Y.U.J.V. while in the last match against Biklyn Friends, our opponents tri- umphed by a 3-l score.

JOSEPH LIFSCHITZ HE American ideals of freedom and tolerance have given the Jews the opportunity for suc- cessful growth and development. The story of the part the Jew has played in the building of America starts not today, nor a hundred years ago, but in the year 1492. It began with a man who thought that the world was round and who had courage enough to prove it at the risk of his own life. We know him today as Christopher Columbus, the man who opened a new world for the oppressed and persecuted of all nations. Columbus did not hesitate to go to Jewish mapmakers for his charts and information, and to Jewish scientists for his facts. And it was not Isabella's jewels that financed the voyage of discovery but the money raised by a converted Jew, Luis de Santangel by name. In Spain for hundreds of years Jews lived in what is still remembered as a golden age. They produced scientists, scholars, poets, philosophers, and musicians. They helped make Spain famous for learning and culture. But by 1492 that golden age had long since come to an end. Ferdinand, King of Spain, culminated a long series of persecu- tions by ordering the Jews to either renounce their religion or leave Spain. Many became Christians but many more, three hundred thousand in all, chose to remain Jews and go into exile. Then Holland took possession of Brazil. Jews not only from Spain and Portugal, but from all over Europe, flocked there. For a brief time it seemed that all would be well for the Jews in Brazil. But in 1654 that hope vanished. The Portu- gese took Brazil from the Dutch and once more the Jews had to flee for their lives. One small boat- load of them, after being captured by pirates and then rescued by a French man-of-war, reached the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. In September, 1654, they sailed into the harbor of this Dutch village, the first Jewish settlers in what was one day to become New York City. The Jews, although poverty-stricken refugees at the time of their landing, immediately set about establishing themselves as citizens of worth and usefulness. They developed an honorable reputa- tion among the Indians and their boats and barges journeyed far up the Hudson and Delaware Rivers. By 1683 they had rented a place to worship and in 1728 they undertook to build their first syna- gogue on Mill Street. They became persons of respect in the community, honored and trusted by both the Dutch and the English. As word of the wonderful new land reached Europe, more and more Jews sailed across the seas to America. At the beginning of the American Revolution there were about three thousand Jews in the Thir- teen Colonies. It is estimated that of these three thousand men, women and children, some three hundred at one time or another during the war fought in the militia or the regular army. Perhaps as important as any military service the Jews were able to contribute was the part they played in the financing of the Revolution. Outstanding was the work of Haym Salomon, a Polish Jew, who, charged by the British in New York with aiding and abetting the American cause, escaped from prison and fled to Philadelphia, where he devoted himself to the cause of the Revolution. In 1785 the population of the thirteen colonies was about three and one-half million, almost three thousand were Jews. In 1840 the population of the United States had increased to seventeen mil- lion, of whom fifteen thousand were Jews. Forty years later the population of America was some fifty million, of whom two hundred and Hfty thou- sand were Jews. Today the population of the United States is one hundred and seventy million and almost five and one-half million are Jews. The reason for this remarkable increase and growth lies in the fact that the Jews in Europe were extremely poor and endlessly persecuted. Eco- nomically they were allowed to keep themselves alive but they were permitted little more. In 1881 their lot became heavier than they could bear. Many Jews began to migrate to America. At first they moved slowly, the men went by themselves and then sent for their wives and children. The migration grew. Poor and rich they came, learned and unlearned, old and young. For five years, beginning with 1904, more than one hundred thousand of them came to America each year. To American Jews, their country and its ideals are precious because they have never taken them for granted. To them they embody the Promised Land, the actuality of freedom, of security, and of growth. The earlier immigration produced many loyal citizens, they were statesmen, writers, mer- chants, doctors, lawyers, and soldiers. But now the generations derived from the Jews of eastern Europe have added to these painters, poets, actors. playwrights, musicians, and scientists. They have brought their share, many authorities say more than their share, of enduring excellence to the spiritual and cultural life of the country. F9 . Q 7 ,lp A 4 ' qi 1 , , ' 4 .

ONLY ONE DOLLAR AN ACRE J T is a crisp November day. Mr. E. Johnson, a small middle-aged man with the drawn features and leathery skin of the outdoor laborer and wear- ing a shabby suit and a somewhat worn Homburg. enters the oiiices of Moonbeam Estates, Inc. and looks about nervously. He is approached by an affably smiling salesman. Ah, good morning, Sir. Beautiful day on Earth. What can we do for you? Well, I seen your ad in the paper and I thought maybe. uh . . . Certainly, Sir.

Couldn't ask for anything handier could you? f'Sounds real good. But I was thinking about fishing. I'm a man who likes to fish on vacations. Only I was told they don't have water on your property. Nonsense, Mr. Johnson! Where there's fish youlll find water. Isn't that true? Fine, line! I'm certainly relieved to hear that. ...I was also kinda wondering about how the climate is up there.

R W. fi N i 75x HE State of Israel was born in a bitter struggle, and raised with all the hardships of war. The blood of her martyrs still reddens the sandy earth and the noise of terrifying battle still echoes in her ancient canyons. And what is the nation's prime example of its trials and tragedies, its festivals and feasts? Surely none other than The Great Rock, the capital city of Jerusalem. The main road to Jerusalem is not, like many of its geographical brothers, an ancient one. It was paved during the War for Freedom, ten years ago. It winds up high hills, surrounded by steep and historically famous mountains. On both sides the terrain is thick with trees, and none can miss seeing the dead hulks of trucks lying on their sides. These same skeletons were once vehicles driven under lire to bring supplies to a besieged Jerusalem. Some made it-these didn't. These have become a symbol of the struggle of the nation. IW TOA One gains altitude as he approaches the great city. Large signs are seen everywhere at the gates - Beruchim Habaim -blessed are they who come! The famous road becomes main street, bustling with activity, where one hears a jargon of thirty foreign tongues. With the evening comes peaceful silence and few automobile horns break the stillness in the air. One retires with the com- plete acceptance of this peace, and yet no sooner does his head hit the pillow when that tense still- ness is broken by the sharp report of a machine- gun. The burst lasts only for seconds, and yet, it is but the beginning. Not until dawn does the in- termittent firing cease, and the foreigner can re- turn to undisturbed slumber. If one takes a short walk, he may come across, not far from the border, the famous and highly controversial section of Meah Shearim, the hundred gates. Here the culturally minded tour- ist finds an area populated by the extremely ff 1 Q .K I il 3 Q L V 1 ' 1- , I Y J' ' 'V V ' .. I P 1 ir hhfm ' l BILLIO PEOPLE HAEL orthodox elements of traditional Jewry. While the world on the outside advanced to more liberal and practical customs, progress seems to have skipped over this stronghold, and the picturesque inhabi- tants live much the same as their forefathers did a thousand years ago. One cannot help but be im- pressed by the sight of figures with long earlocks and clothed in uncomfortable-looking black coats who seem to be perpetually trudging back and forth through the narrow alleys from home to synagogue. The citizens are famous for the kind hospitality which they show to the needy. How- ever, they do not hesitate to impose with violence their opinions on others who are not quite as zealous as they. Any sympathy which a tourist may have for their ideals is quickly tempered upon his observing them carrying out their threats. But, regardless of their activities, one cannot fail to have respect for their sincerity and devotion to their religion. Dil No man's land, only about forty feet wide, is crawling with mines. As one approaches it, he cannot miss the signs Sacanah-Hagvul -danger, the border. The sun beats down mercilessly on the wretched land. Abandoned cabins sit and rot, miles of barbed wire rust and old foot-worn paths collect weeds. On one side cruises a green jeep with four soldiers and a heavy machine gun in- side. The men are dressed in khaki, and wear their characteristic berets. Forty feet away, there cruises a drab green jeep, with four soldiers and a heavy machine gun inside. An expert could not tell the two units apart, and yet, give them a chance, and they'll brutally murder each other. This famous city, too often familiar to the footsteps of armies, is familiar to them once more. The killing is the same, it always is-only the methods are different. In this atmosphere lives Jerusalem, holy to a billion people. She has survived the horrible past. may God protect her in the future. E knew that he was dying. He could feel his heart beating through the gaping hole in his chest. With each pulse more of his blood spilled out on the brown sand. In a few minutes he would be dead, a lifeless corpse indis- tinguishable from a hundred others. The full impact of it suddenly struck him. Here he lay, a thousand miles from nowhere, a casualty in a gigantic chess game. Yes, that was it-a chess game, in which he and countless others like him were only the merest pawns. He pitied the man who had to make the moves. His mind began to! rack back over the events of the morning .... The loudspeaker was blaring g'ALl hands on deck as he started to get out of bed. In twenty minutes the whole ship had learned the news-by eleven o'clock the attack would begin. The enemy had turned the island into a fortress, and we had to get him out! They had landed all right, but they hadn't had a chance. The J aps were waiting like kids at a aes 4 alt? l pigeon shoot. As soon as they hit the beach it had started. He hadn't even gotten to fire his gun-a well-placed grenade had seen to that. Those who were lucky dug in and those who weren't .... Only yesterday the letter he had been expecting arrived. Jane had said yes. The rest of that day he was up in the clouds planning for their wedding. How he wished this dirty war would end! THE LAS Well, there wasn't going to be any marriage now. He wondered how Jane would take the news of his death. And his parents-they'd probably get one of those rotten telegrams from the War De- partment. He hoped it wouldn't break his motheris heart. He thought of life before the war. He had just gotten out of college then, a major in philosophy.

But for his mothers sake he tried. and an uneasy truce had prevailed for most of his stay. He had even gone to the syna- gogue on Saturday to make his father happy. But when it came to wearing phylacteries he drew the I S Q l I by MARK PRESS line-he absolutely would not. His father got so red that he thought the old man would have a stroke. The next day his father ordered him out of the house. He remembered his youth in that little town in Illinois. After school each day he had gone to a talmud torahf' How he had hated it! Now he had freed himself of all the shackles of tradition. He was independent. He was modern. Suddenly he wished that the news would kill his father. A sharp pain recalled him to the present. He saw in the distance a chaplain administering the last rites and an unreasoning fear suddenly seized him. Suppose there was a G-d. suppose He really did punish sinners. He must make his peace with G-d. He had to call a chaplain, quickly, before it was too late .... 251 PF Hey, Charlie. C'mere. Here's another stiff.

A ll mortals fear death yet none know its secrets: Thus the fear of death is a blind fear Blind and inevitable, yet not unfounded For death is the unknown, and wliat is more fearful to mortals Than what our eyes cannot see and our brains cannot fathom.

J HE night was cold and drizzly and I was walk- ing home from a belated appointment with the doctor. As I passed through one of the narrow twisting side streets that I habitually used when hurrying home. an eerily-glowing object caught my eye. I bent down. picked it up. and found. to my astonishment. that it was a newspaper. Even more amazing was the dateline-March 15. 1977! One bold headline immediately attracted my attention- Secretary of State Wins Final Nobel if Peace Prize. My curiosity aroused. I read on. The newly-crowned King of Sweden had just awarded Secretary Graves the 1977 Peace Prize. In his accompanying speech the King had praised the United States for its wonderful efforts on behalf of world peace. Amidst widespread applause Sec- retary Graves ascended the rostrum and presented the king with a check for three thousand dollars. Several graybeards in the audience still remem- bered that there had been a time when the recipient of the award received the moneyg however. that time had long since passed. Nowadays. the United States was the only country that spent money and it would have seemed ridiculous for the King to present Mr. Graves with a check. The article went on to enumerate the many ways in which America had striven to preserve world peace in the last Iifteen years. In 1960 the United States purchased Russia and converted it into the world's largest winter vacationland for the ever- growing tourist trade. Six years later America. in the interests of peace. bought Hungary. Rumania. and Bulgaria. thus removing several stumbling- blocks in the path of international harmony. For this great service to humanity a Nobel Prize was also awarded. This year. the article went on to say. the United States is negotiating to buy Red China and make it into a huge hand laundry to service the entire world. The article concluded by stating that since America now owned the Earth and since the Prize was not awarded for preventing civil war. this would be the last time that such a presentation would be made. iw f'J-B-i--A7225 cuuflx uw... . , . ., .6216-5QQ.1'7 1038 Anderson Av. ,gy , Bkjyn, Ronin 3051. 10 BROSQNX AYA1Lg?Li...JALL BRONX omc COUNTRY CLUB SECT,-fins., bsmt. ?REC9D!S.
