Special to The Soulhcrn Israelite Administrators, teachers and students at Yeshiva High School of Atlanta are saying some special prayers during this High Holiday season. They are hoping $200,000 can be raised by Oct. 31 for the down payment on a new school building. If this goal is met, Yeshiva’s faculty and students will move out of the Atlanta Jewish Community Center on Peachtree and into their own school building as early as Jan. 1, 1987. The building is 47,000 square feet and covers 10 acres off Chamblee-Tucker Road near 1-85 and 1-285. According to Rabbi Herbert Cohen, dean of Yeshiva, help is coming from parents, board mem bers and long-time friends of the school. “We are getting there, but we still have to raise more funds,” said Cohen. Full-time teachers re cently sent a memo to Cohen, stat ing a willingness to contribute to the building fund through payroll deductions. Many are grateful the AJCC took the school in 10 years ago. But today a feeling of frustration has permeated Yeshiva’s lone hall way. Cohen knows education alone won’t sell parents on a scliool that does not have a lunchroom, a fully- equipped science lab or an audito rium of its own. Jerrold Greenberg, Ph.D., who has his doctorate in biochemistry from Columbia University in New York, and who has headed Yeshi va’s science department for over seven years, spoke for many of his Science teacher Dr. Greenberg with Yeshiva students. peers when he said, “Sometimes, it is like living out of a shoe box. “Once class is over you have to put all your equipment away, be cause the classroom is part of the AJCC, and is shared by other teachers here. And since there is a lack of storage space, the equip ment sits atop one another. In the science lab, you cannot leave bac teria or equipment out that might be dangerous, and you cannot be in the midst of an experiment when classes end. 1 have to take the necessary equipment out before class, and put it away once class is over.” At lunchtime, Greenberg must vacate the science lab for a French class. Because the Center turned the game room into an art gallery, and the “lunchroom” became a Holocaust Museum recently, stu- and Arthur D.

The school had eight classrooms last year. “It is frustrating being limited to the number of classrooms we have,” said Sandra Cohen, who teaches math. “Our computer literacy pro gram, the first of its kind devel oped in Atlanta some nine years ago, has been put on hold since there is no room available to house these computers. The new school building has approximately 29 classrooms, cafe teria and outdoor basketball courts. Yeshiva’s tennis teams will play on the public tennis courts located directly across the street. The bas ketball teams would still use the Center’s facilities. Part of the building may be occupied by the Jewish Family Services’ satellite office. The $200,000 down pay ment would allow Yeshiva High School to expand the science lab; use computers that have been in storage for the last two years; take advantage of support materials (audio-visuals) anytime; hang pull down maps up in the classroom; improve communications through the use of an intercom system, and a school bell that works; and give students more time to rehearse plays. Adjusting his thick, black- rimmed glasses, Greenberg added, “More classrooms would mean more courses, and that means getting more teachers. It would be nice if we had another science teacher whose strengths are in electronics and geology. My knowledge in these subjects are OK, but not great. A new building would help us reach our full potential. Its a credit to the students who achiese high academics while learning under such conditions.” Almost like clockwork, Yeshi va’s students score 600-700 (out of 800) on SAT achievement tests, and are accepted to colleges such as Brown, Penn, Vanderbilt and Washington University in St. Louis every year.
