The Henry Ford Spotlight, school
newspaper, was the recipient of
two national high school journal-
ism awards.
A top ranking of "medalist," re-
served for papers distinguishing
themselves in quality, was award-
ed by the Columbia Scholastic
Press Association. The Spotlight
was one of only two papers in the
state to receive this honor which
covered the papers issued in 1966.
For the first semester of this
school year, The Spotlight also re-
ceived a first-class ranking from
the National Scholastic Press As-
sociation.

Honor Society, the Student Coun-
cil and the Study Hall 107
Council.
Nine American flags have been
presented to the school by the
Morton Silverman Auxiliary of the
Jewish War Veterans. Before the
presentation, flags were in only
the auditorium and gym. When
the Silverman Post offered one
flag to any high school, Ford Prin-
cipal Samuel Milan made a special
request for flags for each study
hall and the main hall.
Student Council president How-
ard Rontal and study hall repre-
sentatives accepted the flags from
Leonard Schrieber, Silverman pre-
sident, at a Parents-Teachers Coun-
cil meeting.
Spring sports got under way
with boys' tennis, baseball and
track. Last year's city champion
tennis team started its season
with a 3I, , 2-3 win over Cooley.
The baseball team, runner-up to
Redford last year, started off
with a rare tie against Murray-
Wright. The tie was a result of
a Public School League rule that
no inning of baseball can start
after 5:45 p.m.
After losses to Cooley and Mack-
enzie, the track team beat Murray-
Wright 67-51. It was the first win
in the last 38 meets. Ford was
strong in the long-distance events
and swept the shot put and pole
vault events.

NEW YORK (JTA) — T h e
establishment of Bnai Brith youth
service in Israel in collaboration
with its principal municipalities
was announced jointly by Ben
Barkin of Milwaukee, international
chairman of the Bnai Brith Youth
Commission, and Dr. Ben Zion
Kauders of Tel Aviv, president of
the Bnai Brith Israel District.

The agreement with the Israeli
municipalities provides for affilia-
tion of an existing youth service,
"Noar Lenoar" (Youth for Youth),
with the international network of
chapters comprising the Bnai
Brith Youth Organization.

Dr. Goldman Due
at Hillel Brunch Series

According to Lewin, there are
now approximately 5,000 young
people between the ages of 14 and
18 enrolled in Noar Lenoar. All of
them are secondary school stu-
dents. The principal activity of
Noar Lenoar has been rendering
of volunteer services by the youth
of Israel to disadvantaged youth,
such as boys and girls from immi-
grant families and the physically
and mentally handicapped.

The work is now being broad-
ened to include volunteer services
to the aged and other adults, co-
operation with Arab youth groups
in Israel, and the establishment of
close relationships with Jewish
youth in the Diaspora—particu-
larly in North America.
