ANDREWS The organization is composed of approximately 300 members. Meetings are held every other Tuesday. The meetings usually take the form of a social, but the business affairs are transacted. The main purposes of the Sophomore class organization is to get the sophomores acquainted, to assure school spirit, and to promote pleasant social relationships. The class was organized in September, 1929. At its first meeting, it succeeded in interesting a large number of the group. The class displayed much enthusiasm by attending the activities for that year, namely: the Freshman Acquaintance Dance, Christmas Dance, and Farewell Dance. The spirit after that semester did not waiver, and the class continued to carry on with success, but it was surpassed by their colorful and cheerful Hallowe'en Dance. Their opening welcome dance was the gala affair of this year. It was a faculty- sophomore dance, given for the purpose of acquainting and promoting friendship be- tween the professors and the sophomore students. It may readily be said that the sophomore class is showing much school spirit. It is aggressive and successful in all its undertakings. 112

Ira Zasloff FTER much persuasion on the part of a reporter, Ira Zasloff, a prominent Sophomore of the School of Education was at last cornered and he consented to grant an interview. Mr. Zasloff is a regular New York University man, having finished the pre-collegiate course which the school offers and then immediately having entered the School of Education, where he has been for two years. As a Freshman, 1929-1930, he was a student delegate to the Physical Education Senate, and with the insignia of Sophomore placed upon him, he entered into various other positions such as: President of the Sophomore Class and Treasurer of the Physical Education Senate. He is a member of the Kappa Phi Kappa, Sigma Tau Phi, and the Education Violet Scroll. Upon receiving his Bachelor of Science in Physical Education, he will go into health work. He is an eager participant in Sophomore class activities, sincere in his duties to the class which he has served to the utmost of his ability. 111

l Samuel Gelman HERE is something shady about Samuel Gelman, president of the Freshman class- it is almost immoral to chalk up an A in both activities and chemistry, but this paragon of all virtues achieved that somewhat difficult feat. His early metamorphosis is beclouded. It is problematical from whence he ema- nates, but one sees in him a still existent affinity with the drifters from the Bowery, and in his discourses with them in the vicinity of the Student Building, there is a familiarity that bespeaks more than a vicarious knowledge of these gentlemen of leisure. My early education, or lack of it, said Mr. Gelman, was obtained at Stuyvesant High School. And what activities did you participate in, we pursued. Our modest Mr. Gelman shifted from one leg to the other, smiled and after a cross-examination that would put Mr. Steuer to shame, we finally drew from the Frosh president that he was actively engaged in football, baseball, track and swimming. He is reserved and serious at times, and at others, his boisterous mien is irrepres- sible. We have it on good authority that he spends his summers keeping people from drowning at Coney Island. He is somewhat timid of the opposite sex, does not dance socially, but wears blue shirts and ties, is a congenial sort of person, and girls, he isn't at all bad looking. 113
