The Jewish people, time and again have been compared to stars. Our number, as promised to the Avot is ( insert Art 9 ), as vast as the stars in the heavens. Whenever one gazes upward at the stars, one inclines his face heavenward and directs his thoughts and prayers to G-d. But stars do more than twinkle in the heaven. They are more than indicators of direction, harbingers of morning, omens for good, portents for evil, or metaphors for the Jewish people. According to Maimonides, the stars and heavenly bodies each possess a soul and an intellect with which they are able to recognize and glorify their Creator. They have a self-awareness of their position and from this position serve G-d to the utmost of their ability. For this reason, the title KOCHAVIAH is very apropos for Stern College ' s yearbook. Just as the stars are aware of those who stand before and after them, we, as graduates of Stern College for Women in the year 1986, should be aware of those women who roamed the very halls, trod the very steps and occupied the very rooms we do now; and those who will come to fill the very spaces we will soon vacate. It is not easy to be a woman in this day and age, and to meet this challenge, Stern College provides a unique opportunity to iearn from a variety of many exciting and demanding disciplines and to incorporate Torah values at the same time. The idea of such an institution is one that looks fine on paper, but needs the participation of individuals to actualize it. For this reason, we would like to dedicate this issue of Kochaviah to Stern women — past, present, and future — to women who have demanded, and subsequently received and who will continue to demand and receive, a quality education in both Judaic and secular studies. As the recipients of such an education, we, together with those who have proceeded and will succeed us, will then, like the stars, be able to serve G-d with an increased self-awareness.

r ' e.;ie ible. for sure NO later than Sept. Kochaviah 1986 Editors-in-chief: Esther Kaufman Deena Schramm Layout Editors: Debra Cohen Debbie Sutton Photography Editors: Suri Davis Miriam Weiss Business Managers: Leslie Baker Shulamit Glau- bach Lisa Lerer Art consultant: Naomi Talansky Staff: Linda Blank Suzette Fleischer Lilli Mandel As the dawn begins to break through the night sky while we frantically lay out ads. crop pictures, type copy and proof all of the above, it seems hard to believe that we have reached the end of what seemed to be. at least in the beginning, a herculean task. There were many times during the course of the year when we often wondered why we had voluntarily assumed the burden of producing a yearbook (the second time around for us both). In all honesty, we continue to wonder. However the sense of accomplishment that comes when reviewing the completed proofs compensates for much of the agony. As in any other endeavor, there were many people along the way that helped us tremendously, often providing the much needed inspiration to continue. ( Don ' t tell me you ' re going to work on yearbook again. Won ' t it ever get done?!? ) Yes, it finally is done, and while we can ' t thank the multitudes who helped in one way or another (those who got their pictures in on time, handed in their bio sheets early - and without prompting — , and those who not only brought in their allotment of ads but succeeded in financing this venture), there are a number of individuals who we would publicly like to thank: NAOMI — for doing the Hebrew calligraphy on such short notice, ERICA — for designing the artwork on page one at 2:00 in the morning, SHERI— for the d ' var Torah SARA — for use of THE OBSERVER room. ELANA — for her support, TOM VIDA — For showing us the ropes and convincing us that our mistakes were not that drastic, THE OFFICE STAFF — for their encouragement, OUR ROOMMATES — for putting up with the pre- deadline mess and intrusions by the entire senior class at one point or another, LARRY — for tolerating interrupted phone calls, Sundays spent on yearbook, and for helping us with the layout and the literary aspects of this book. «0 P r| ■ ' ■ ' H-. jnp ejew spd
