Do you have a more beautiful picture of WITS? Send it to me at witsalumni@gmail.com! This week WITS took its annual Lag B'Omer trip to Camp Olin Sang Ruby (sorry-no more Camp Meinekane).  The two on two tournament was spectacular won by Bais Medrash phenoms Donny Semmel and Chezky Eis.  The trip becasme even more exciting when the buses didn't show up for pick-up at 11:30 and some of the guys on the last bus got back at 3 in the morning with enough memories to last a lifetime. Click here to see some highlight pictures more exciting than the NBA playoffs.
