1957-1958 September comes and we are sophomores. We glance with tolerance at the new Freshman class. Could we have looked so wide-eyed, so timid when we were freshman? We learn very quickly that the Public Relations Department is busy again. This time the freshman class is not the subject of their activity. The following June Stern College would have its first graduation. The world must be told of this great event. Public Relations hasn t failed. Press releases have been sent out. Pictures have been taken. The 28 seniors have become celebrities. The rest of the school basks in the glory of the first 28. In February the Sophomores have an Ice-Skating party, the first of its kind in Stern College history. A few weeks later 150 people board the S.S. Sophomore for a three-hour trip to Israel. Bells are Ringing is the choice for the Sophomore theater party. And then it s June and the ever-active Public Relations Department outdoes even i ts previous commendable work. Eleanor Roosevelt visits Stern for a Fireside Chat with the Seniors. New York and out-of-town newspapers proclaim for days the graduation. And our second year ends. 15

tfjk ft: !.«! : ' n !£ s 5- ' m- h, ift 1 ■ w v i f THE THIRD FOUR YEARS MpivtfT 1956-1957 Yeshiva University Public Relations Department teemed with activity. There was work to be done. A new class of freshman had entered Stern College, and it was the duty of the Public Relations Department to pro- claim this fact throughout the world. After the statisticians worked feverishly for a week. Public Relations published the startling results. This, the third class was the largest at Stern College so far. How did these young ladies who had come from all parts of the country begin their college careers? We take you now to Yeshiva University midtown center, Stern College. It ' s December and the girls are excitingly looking foward to the second social event of the year, the Inter-Yeshiva class social. Here at last the girls will have their chance to meet their uptown brothers of legendary fame. They have been advised that these Hoshuva Bachurim would pro- vide the best chances for filling up the girls social calendars for the ensuing four years. The Chanukah Chagiga in November had been successful and the class social proved an even greater success. The girls phones rang con- tinually. It ' s January now. The black cloud, finals, is hovering over the school. Fail now, avoid the June rush is the freshmen ' s pessimistic greeting to one another. But the days pass and their first semester has ended. For some it has ended in disappointment, but for none in defeat. The new semester dawns and now that the cloud has lifted, the sun shines glori- ously. The Freshman Theater Party featuring the Broadway play, Happiest Millionaire, the Purim Chagiga about Mount Machiza and the Lag B ' Omer Chagiga follow in quick succession, and their first year has ended. jk ifsJN T V aSSwfoiSt 1 -;-.

1958-1959 September dawns and for the third time we enter the Lexington Ave- nue edifice after a two-month absence. Once again the well-worn question How was your summer? is passed around the school. In October we sponsored a Tea for Freshman and in November we held the Junior Roundup which boasted a cowboy theme and authentic Western atmosphere. The Chanukah Chagiga was for the first time held on both Saturday and Sunday nights to accommodate the increase of students. I hough the February theater party Gazebo was not a financial success, the evening has been stored away among our fondest memories. Such events as getting class rings and appointing the 60 Kochaviah staff awakened us to the fact that we would soon be seniors.
