RABH1 JOSHI A SHMIDMAN D edication In the course of her college career, a student meets a variety of faculty mem bers. Some will be just names or faces; others shall serve as glorious memories for years to come. Occasionally, the student is lucky enough to find a teacher who is both friend and mentor; an individual whose warmth and personality extend far beyond the classroom, and whose very life encompasses a love for his subject matter. We as a class are fortunate to have found such an individual. That the subject matter he knows and loves is philosophy, religious philosophy, makes our good fortune even greater. As a class we shall remember the religious inspiration he radiates; as students we shall remember the philosophy with which we grappled; as dormitory residents we shall remember the warm friendly Shabai he conducted; as individuals we shall remember his warm, sincere interest in each of us. V heresoever you shall find greatness, you shall find modesty. In grateful recognition of all he represents, we humbly dedicate this yearbook to Rabbi Joshua Shmidman.

MRS. ELIZABETH ISAACS Dean of Students l.il note: After twelve years «• Dean nj Students, Mrs. Elizabeth Isaacs will re- tire, together with her husband, Prof. M. L. Isaacs of the Chemistry Department, in June 1967. This is the last of her an- nual messages to a xraduatinK class. The class of 1967 enjoys the special dis- tinction of being the tenth class to graduate from Stern College for Women. This decade has seen momentous changes in the history of the entire world, some good, some bad, but all most challenging to the graduate of 1967. Jewishly, there has never been a period of greater hopefulness and promise in our coun- try. To be graduated now from Stern College, well-prepared to plunge into the stream of events, is a privilege and a responsibility not to be wasted or set aside. Never before have women had such an opportunity to assume leadership, and in this age of do it your- self, we call on you to accept your responsi- bility and utilize the training, the wisdom and the understanding that you have acquired in your four years here to face and master the challenges before you. Congratulations and best wishes to each of you. Elizabeth Isaacs

EDITOR ' S MESSAGE Dear Fellow Graduates, Nature ' s majesty, grandeur, and beauty can best be seen in the springtime. Flowers begin to bloom, leaves appear on the trees, and a general sense of well-being and happiness permeates the world. The rejuvenation of the earth seems to be taking place and G-d ' s omnipresence can, in fact, be felt. But all this activity is merely the climax of a cycle. Nature has been preparing herself all winter for the moment when she will burst forth in all her splendor. For the past four years we too have been going through a period of preparation. Each of us is now more capable of taking a place in society. Savoir, penser, rever — tout est la ' , ' (Victor Hugo). To know, to think, and to dream — that is every- thing. If each of us has learned enough to make her life fuller, if each of us has acquired a capacity for independent thinking, and if each of us can use her imagination more freely in order to propel herself into the world of yester- year and into the future, then the four years she has spent at Stern College will have achieved her purpose. With graduation we take on new responsibilities, but carry away with us old memories we will always cherish. Among them will be the warm friendships we have made, which will always serve as a reminder of the good times we had in our college years. Mazel. health, happiness, success, and prosperity — this is what I wish each one of you. Sincerelv vours, fiCL -n U Naomi Meyer Editor-in-Chief
