Thursday, 7/3/2003 - 3 Tammuz 5763
Jay Levine, known to decades of Male High School graduates as the
personification of school spirit and caretaker of the traditions of the
147-year-old school, died yesterday at Jewish Hospital after a brief illness.
He was 57. "If you wanted to know anything about the history of Male
High School, you call Jay," alumni director Joyce Day said yesterday.
"He remembered everybody, all the kids," Day said, and they remembered him.
"The one person people always ask about was Jay Levine. ... I can't put into
words what he did for Male because of his love for Male." Levine was a 1964
graduate who returned to Male as a history teacher in 1970. He also sponsored
the student newspaper, "Brook 'N' Breck," for which he had written as a student,
and the yearbook, "The Bulldog," and he was an adviser to student government.
Levine became athletic director in 1972, and the school named its athletic complex
after him when he retired in 1996. "His skill in attracting coaches there made it
the powerhouse athletics program that it is today," said 1985 graduate Jay Blanton,
who works in Metro Mayor Jerry Abramson's communications office. "A lot of
that can be attributed to his stewardship." Levine also once served as the track
and volleyball coach. "There is a whole generation of kids who went through
Male High School for whom Jay Levine is synonymous with Male ... (but) he was
a teacher first," Blanton said. "I've never run across anybody that loved their
school more than he did," said Ted Boehm, who was principal of Male from 1979
to 1992. In 1983, Levine initiated the resurrection of Male's alumni association,
which for the most part had been dismantled. He became an executive board
member and later served as president. He also initiated the Hall of Fame program;
he was inducted in 1994. "Louisville Male High School meant so much to me as a
poor youth who lived six blocks away," he wrote in his acceptance letter. "My
parents gave me love and encouragement, the instructors and coaches at LMHS
the `tools' to become a college graduate. "I hope through service I have repaid
them all over the years. My professional objective has been to try and be a role
model for young people. ... I hope in some small way my years of service" have
added to "this great institution that still has a promising future, but oh, what an
illustrious past!" Levine earned his bachelor's degree from the University of
Kentucky and his master's degree from the University of Louisville. Within
about six months of retiring from Male, Levine became a full-time youth director
at the Jewish Community Center. He had been a youth advisor there from 1970 to 1975.
He also edited the community center's newsletter and served one year as Louisville
editor of the Jewish Post and Opinion. He was also a member of Congregation Adath
Jeshurun.
He is survived by his wife, the former Diane Rubenstein, and daughter,
Shannon Levine.
Funeral services will be held today (Thursday) at 2:00pm with visitation
beginning after 12:45pm. Interment will be in the Adath Jeshurun Cemetery,
2926 Preston Highway.
Memorial gifts may be given to the Jewish Community Center, Cari Kleinman
Memorial Fund at Congregation Adath Jeshurun or to the Male Alumni Association.
