That was the beginning of a Yeshiva Arista composed of the highest ranking students in the school in character, scholarship and service. Since its formation, the Arista has created and attempted to fulfill several functions. A committee has been formed to supervise the collection of Seforim in the Yeshiva. The Arista Coaching Club has endeavored to help the weaker students of the school in their studies. Several boys have gone back to their former schools to try to persuade the graduates to attend T. A. The Arista is at present contemplating the formation of an Inter-Yeshiva League consisting of the Aristas of various Yeshivas.
