.X4 Olblffl' jI'0l7l ji? 67Cbt0I' Once again, you, the students of Talmudical Academy, find yourselves the possesscrs of an Elchanite. This 30th anniversary issue which you are now reading differs greatly from our previous yearbooks. Policy has been changed and innovations have been introduced. Upon reading the Elchanite you will discover th:t the literary material has been culled from students of all terms, that all school activities are fully represented, and that there is a wider array of photo- graphic material. For the first time in the history of T. A. there have appeared articles and stories in the annual, written in Hebrew, French, and Spanish. It is true that this foreiqn language section is not as large as could be, however, we are the pioneers, and it is hoped that future editors will continue in our path. This year it has been shown that the Elchanite need not be a senior publica- tion. In years to come even greater contributions from the lower terms of the student bcdy will be in order. As was usually the case, the task of preparing the Elchanite was the hard work of a few individuals. This issue was not an exception. For this reason I would like to take the opportunity of thanking those who rendered invaluable service towards the publication of the Elchanite and with whom I have had the great pleasure of working. STANLEY WEXLER - a T. A. alumnus without whose aid and advice this issue could never have gone to press. IRWIN STERNGLANTZ - whose magnificent photography work can readily be seen throughout the magazine. MIKE ABRAMOWITZ. OSI-IER GOODMAN, and SHELDON STEIN- BERG - who found time to serve Elchanite beyond the call of duty, and who could always be found in the Elchanite office. MR. EMANUEL LEIBEL and MR. HERBERT GREENBERG - who made available tc us their wise counsel behind which lie many years of valuable ex- perience. On behalf of the entire staff, it is my earnest hope that you will enjoy reading the 1950 Elchanite. Sincerely yours, MORRIS RAPOPORT Editor-in-Chief four

is .14 message gram jde fgreaizlenf To The Student-Body: You, the students of our Talmudical Academy, and particularly the Gradu- ation Class of 1950, have great reason to rejoice, for your period of transition from boyhood to manhood was spent in the ideal atmosphere of Torah learning and modern culture. I watched your gradual progress and I was inspired by your spirit, and by the selfless devotion of your Roshei ha-Yeshiva and teachers. T exhort you to remain steadfast in our religious beliefs: in the mode of living and in the ethical and spiritual convictions which are the essence and guiding spirit of our lives. It is only by the immortal truths of the Torah and our sacred tradition, by being true to ourselves and our sacred heritages. that we can best serve ourselves and our fellow men. Godliness as the foundation of our lives, obedience to the Divine Law of the Torah, and usefulness for the common-good of mankind arc the fundamental parts of training of a Yeshiva man. These sacred values you must always bcar in mind as well as in action. Sincerely yours, SAMUEL BELKIN ' President five
