group of historical adventurers is digging up long-lost
treasure involving you and your "Happy Days."
The booty is lost tomes lurking in dusty attics,
grimy garages and musty basements — old school
yearbooks that tell the tales of everyday Jewish Detroiters at high
points in their youth.
The Jewish Historical Society of Michigan would like you to
start digging out your old yearbooks now Organizers of the
group's yearbook project say that donating them to the JHS for
preservation will ensure that you and your friends' part of history
will endure for generations to come.
The historical society's mission is to acquire copies of every
yearbook from every school in the Jewish community over the
past century and into the new one.
Their targets include, of course, the major
public high schools. But JHS also wants the
yearbooks of every metro area school, from
downtown Detroit to the far reaches of
Oakland County — wherever Jews have
been cross-country runners, band majorettes
or tomorrow's teachers.
