lVlARION ARBEIT has already proved the practicability of her college education by securing a position as a Spanish trans- lator for the government. Anything Mexican attracts Marion whose home is fully adorned with colorful souvenirs from south of the border. She is also a Deanls Lister, secretary of the Spanish Club and a clarinet player in the Band. Like all Psychology majors MARGUERITE BARTZ has found at least seven types of insanity that lit her. Likes orange juice, Humphrey Bogart, and Dr. Spencer's ties. Marge can play piano, sing, sew, knit and cook, but she eschews domesticity for a career. Latent whim: to become an airline hostess. MAE BAUM's pungent puns aren't what got her on the Dean's List, but they certainly helped her win friends and influence people during l2 o'clock lunch in the cafeteria. Marion's a French major, wants to hike through the wine trails of France, but right now she's willing to settle for skiing in the Catskills. RED BEACHAM can usually be found crawling out from under his antiquated Ford or on the blowing end of a cornet. He's changed his major as often as a chameleon changes color, but he's finally decided to become an actuarian or an Ensign in the Coast Guard, see! J

F7 'Q If, lisa, e M,,ig LX A33 Sociologist JOSEPH ACHTZIGER tends to the energetic in his social life, what with Football, Basketball, and Swimming as far as athletics go, and really solid rug cutting where they don't. Vice-president of Phi Eta Chi, Newman Club member, Senior Week committeeman are some of the things Joe worked at, at school. JANET AFFLERBACH is one half the bulwark of the library- completely indistinguishable from the other half, her twin sister, except for the difference in their majors. Janet's is German, but she can spiel a mean line of classical Latin when the occasion arises, and she hopes the occasion will arise in the New York teaching system. Lois is the other half of the Afflerbach combine, and intends, appropriately enough, to be a librarian and heaven knows she managed the Queens library with one hand behind her back - studied Latin too, but majored in English. Lois is president of the German Club sparetimes, but then nobody could tell if Janet took over, anyhow. MOE ALTCHEK is a competent linguist, he speaks Spanish fluently, curses effectively in Italian, and manages a polluted English. Though he is founder and president of the Dead End Boys, Moe's chief claim to fame is his classic remark, A'De Speech Department is takin' de folk element outta me speech.

Lrgsus BEHUNEKYS intellectual bent is toward philosophy. As a Sociology major, however, he also shows his interest in people. Though he is usually content to discuss any philoso- pher from Plato to James, he shows a distinct aversion to inetaphysicians and a decided penchant for logical positivists. .AUGUSTA BENEDICT is very active in Phi Tau Alpha affairs, having been vice-president and scribe. She divides the rest of her time between working in the library and interviewing for her held research work. Her naive reactions in re the latter have convulsed the class on many occasions. SoL BERKOXVITZ is the Hyoung manwith the piano who is partially responsible for the tremendous success of our first Varsity Show. Sol takes honor in music, the serious kind, but on the quiet has a famed collection of swing records. He is also an ardent sports fan of the Dodger variety. Lanky YVARREN BERLS is a devotee of crew caps and tall blondes. A Phi Omega Alpha man, like most college men he swigs beer and mouches cigarettes among other things. As a History major he anticipated America's entrance into the war and foresaw his destiny accordingly. Destination: the army. -ea Ns
