Victory was even sweeter the second time. This past Saturday night The Yeshiva Storm played Donna Klein for a rematch and like last time, the Storm came out with their Category 5 strides. The entire team played every minute like it was their last.

Aryeh Genet ('08) scored 3 goals, Ari Grunberg ('10) scored 1 goal, and Elie Genet ('11) scored 2 goals. As usual, goalie Matt Orlinsky ('11) played an outstanding game and blocked every shot within his reach.

The strong defense only gave up one goal, allowing the offense to knock in six. Seniors Marc Finkelstien and Michael Schiff led the defense and stopped every ball which came near them. Yoel Golberg ('09) risked life and limb by diving in front of many invading eagles.

This past Tuesday night, the storm played Lake Worth Christian. After losing 6 to 3 earlier this season, the team wanted their revenge. Like its name, the Storm battled treacherous conditions during the game.

Fighting heavy rainfall in a soaked and muddy field, neither team was able to score until the final and bitter end.

With one minute left in the game, Elan Aiken ('09) took a left footed shot into the back of the net. This goal was truly remarkable. Goalie Matt Orlinsky ('11) recorded his second shut out of the season.

The Storm plans on continuing their winning through the district playoffs.

From Ski-Rixen to Chesed, the freshmen definitely are on a roll for having an exciting four years at Weinbaum Yeshiva High school. The last week was nonstop excitement of fulfilling our souls with mitzvot by preparing packages and tie-dyeing shirts for sick children, getting soaked at ski-rixen, and falling more then our legs could handle at ice-skating.

Since the holidays, the 9th graders have been pulled from a world of malls and movies to a world of math tests and lockers.

It was a great idea to soften the load by giving us a Wednesday to relax and enjoy with our friends and teachers, especially after the PSAT's. It was no secret that we all came back to school with smiles a mile wide and anticipation to work on our chesed projects.

What's in store for us next? Freshman student council elections are just days away, and we're all eager to see who will run, and most importantly who will win!

It's time we had some leaders who can represent us in a positive way, and make sure we're on track. I hope the sophomore, junior and senior student council representatives will be able to act as role models for the class of 2011. It's time to buckle down and focus for the second half of the first semester.

This year's new college guidance advisor, Marcy Roberts, has already accomplished a great deal in helping the students successfully navigate their way through the stressful college admissions process. Towards this goal, she met with the seniors on an individual and group basis to help them with their all-important college essays and applications and met with the 11th graders regarding test- taking strategies for the PSAT taken this week. The students have already developed a great fondness and respect for Mrs. Roberts and are flocking to her door. We were privileged to speak to Mrs. Roberts about her life before WYHS and her experience here thus far. Furthermore, she shared with us some helpful advice from which every high school student could benefit.

How has your experience been so far at WYHS?

Mrs. Roberts: Outstanding! The kids are so wonderful and the school has such a dynamic atmosphere. Also, I've seen how the teachers here are so dedicated in enriching the students lives. >

What do you think is the most important thing students should know about college admissions?

Mrs Roberts: Always put your best foot forward in academics, extra curricular activities, and community service.

Mrs Roberts: First of all, read! Its been proven that students who are avid readers of anything, whether it be magazines or novels will improve their scores. Additionally, the most important thing to remember is that colleges consider your four year academic records much more important then how you perform in a four hour test.

Mrs Roberts: I'm proud of all my students. I'm particularly proud of a student who pursued his interest in musical theater and after college starred in Broadway. He now stars in a sitcom on fox with Kelsey Grammer.

Mrs Roberts: Don't stress! Just do your best. Everyone will find a college and a career where they will be happy, successful, and fulfilled intellectually and personally.
