1 Litre if an gf? Silk President of the Latin Club, on the steering committee of the Economics Club, DOROTHY BERNHARDT will be remembered for the energy and ability she put into establishing both of these societies. Although her hobbies switch from Virgil in the winter to tennis in the summer, Dorothy's real aim is to become an economist for the government. lN'IIMI BERNSTEIN majored in English with ever shifting voca- tional objectives. Still uncertain, she is waiting for the inspi- rational flash only a want-ad column can supply. She is fond of hosteling, square dancing and also skiing despite the fact that more than once she's appeared with a beautiful shiner acquired, she says, on ye snowy trails. In lab once, GERALD BESEN connected a Bunsen burner to the water outlet, but just the same hels a good chemist and a good egg. Jerry's mark of identification is the omnipresent slide rule, and his chief characteristic the constant query, Have you seen Dr. Blatt?,' Except of course, when he's ice-skating, bowling or playing tennis. QC Scholar STANLEY BIRNBAUM combines a dash of Einstein, from his Math background, with a smattering of jimmy Stew- art, from his army foreground. Top off with a crew cut and maraschino cherry. Stan fills in spare time with the Math and Fencing Clubs, and the nefarious activities of Sigma Kappa Chi.

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

Sl .xg Yi E5 tt P J 'ag 9 'ba f NN, 5 NANCY BLA1'TlNIAN is half of a famous twosome, the other half being you know who. She is also fond of serious music, horse- back riding, political discussions, and potato chips. Nancy majors in sociology, is a member of the Anthropology Clan, and hopes to do social welfare work after June. DAVE BLOCH,S most distinguishing characteristic at present is a 2A classification. Very nervous and quite modest, Dave took two years to recover from his initiation into Phi Epsilon Pi and was then elected president of the Queens chapter. Dave can run the 220 in no time flat, and will kill anyone, besides his family, who calls him Buddy. If a nice sense of humor and an air of spontaneity can spice cookery as well as a personality, Jo BLOCK ought to be a wow as a dietitian. Membership in the Chemical Society, Home Economics Club and Biology Club indicate jo has an outside as well as classroom interest in Home Eco. A serious interest in sociology and a decided penchant for all things frivolous make ALICE BOARDMAN a paradoxical but de- lightful mixture. Possessed of a sparkling vitality she has written both the Dust Bowl and Strictly Feminine and was vice-president of Sigma Psi. Which all leads one to believe little Alice is small, but oh my! C
