The candidates delivered brief campaign messages to the class at an assembly conducted under the auspices of the Student Council. Paula, a graduate of Beth Jacob High School of the East Side and a native New- Yorker, will major in either English or Math. In high school she was active in the Student Council, held positions on the school ' s various publications, and was also valedictorian of her graduating class. Chanukah Chagiga The large ball-room of the Fraternal Clubhouse was filled with merry-makers on December 2, as an unusually large crowd gathered for the annual Chanukah Chagiga of Stern College. Separate tables, seating eight and twelve, were set up and friends sat down to- gether to munch candies and nuts as we watched the entertainment. A note of seriousness opened the program as Dr. Menachem Mendel Braver, a member of the Hebrew faculty, spoke about the significance of Chanukah. Then, in line with the merrier aspects of the holiday, a xylophonist and a popular singer per- formed. Bobbie Gross ' 58, played the piano as we joined in with several rousing Chanukah songs. After the show we drank punch and ate cakes and nuts as we threaded our way through the crowd to visit friends. In charge of the affair were Renah Mescheloff ' 58, chairman, and Tyra Kellner ' 60, co-chairman. Freshman-Junior Affair The cool evening of Sunday, December 23, contrasted with the warm spirit within the walls of Stern College as the Freshman Class at Stern established a precedent. The Freshman-Junior Party, an informal gathering between Stern girls and Yeshiva College boys, was the first such inter-class affair held in the history of the schools. The presidents of the respective classes, Paula Fogel and Moe Berlin, officially opened the evening with a few words of welcome. Rabbi Wohlgelernter, teacher of English, and Mrs. Elizabeth Isaacs, Director of Student Activities, acted as chaperones. Rabbi Wohlgelernter spoke on symbolism, a topic well-known to the students of both his uptown and downtown classes. The symbolic character of the pink and white bal- loons and streamers decorating the room was aptly explained by him to an appreciative audience. The evening was also enlivened by entertainment from both classes. As the hand proved quicker than the eye, Alan Greenspan from Y.U. mystified the assembly with his prestidigitarian talents. Jerry Wohlberg sang several request numbers and was followed by Debby Birnbaum and Elaine Gottlieb who led the audience in Hebrew song. After the show, the boys and girls flocked to the cafeteria to enjoy refreshments. As we sipped coffee and munched cakes, spontaneous groups appeared around the room as boys and girls gathered to sing lively Hebrew songs. As the last resounding footsteps echoed through the emptying building, the memory of a delightful evening lingered in the minds of all participants. Charity Drive A charity drive was conducted at Stern by the Student Council as part of the Yeshiva University Charity Drive. Chairman Elizabeth Katz ' 59, explained the purpose of the drive to the student body at an assembly and introduced the class rep- resentatives. In charge of collecting the $3.00 from every freshman was Judith Wagner ' 60. The funds collected were combined with Yeshiva University ' s money for such charities as P ' eylim and Keren Yaldenu. i o o o. o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o 4 o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
