College Caravan Peer Pressure ioth-i2th graders Prograiw to be Held Chai Chaverim Brings Home Teen The Gold at Winter Cultural Connection By Elizabeth Nordin Winter Cultural, the North Carolina BBG, AZA and BBYO contest convention, was held at Shalom Park on December 1-3. While all of the participants did an outstanding job, Chai Chaverim, with a cartoon theme, won an amazing number of awards including ten first and three second place prizes. In first place the chapter won: Eastern Region Pep Song, NC Council Pep Song, Chapter Song, T- Shirt, Banner, Scrapbook, Mas cot, and Israeli Dance. Sara Hopkins received first place in BBG impromptu and Michelle Steiner was awarded first in BBG Originality Plus, a creative arts competition. Chai Chave rim was awarded second in MIT Song and Chapter Cheer with Amy Scher winning second in BBG Storytelling. Obviously, the chapter spent many long hours perfecting their materials. It really wouldn’t be fair to mention Chai Chaverim’s awards without listing the awards of their brother chapter, Mickey Barak Aberman(MBA), who also did a great job. They won first place in AZA video and tied with SSP from Greensboro for AZA T-Shirt. Scott Blacker won an individual first prize in AZA Oratory. MBA came in second in AIT Song and AZA Banner and Skit. Individual seconds were awarded to Kevin Besnoy for AZA Impromptu and to Scott Silverstein for AZA Storytelling. Peter Kaye was given the “Most Spirited Aleph” award. Both of Charlotte’s chapters did an outstanding job at Winter Cultural. News from USY Ti-Y USY Sub-Regional Convention On December 1, USY traveled to Marietta, GA for the Ein Gedi Sub-Regional Convention. The theme for the weekend was “Jewish Humor.” T-Y should be commended for successfully conducting Friday evening ser vices (well overlook Lee Shapi ro’s rendition of Yigdal). Saturday night our chapter prepared a skit for the Gong Show, and amazingly enough we got gonged. It must have hap pened because 1 said my line at the wrong place and Elisa Wald- man got a run in her $9.50 pair of hose. Afterward a formal dance was held.
