He attended P.S. 20, and then went to Townsend Harris High School. He attended City College, and after having been graduated was taken on by Y.U. as ci substitute for the regular Biology teacher in the high school. Dr. Revel, president at the time, was so satisfied with Dr. Saphire that, in 1915, he appointed him regular Biology teacher. After two years at this position, Dr. Hurwitz, the principal, was taken ill, and in 1917 Dr. Saphire was appointed principal. From 1932 till 1935 he was, in addition, a visiting lecturer at his Alma Mater, C.C.N.Y. ln September 1928 he organized Y.U. and was its dean until 1936, when he resigned from his position there and at C.C.N.Y., in order to devote more time to his position as principal of Talmudical Academy. ln his forty years as principal, Dr. Saphire has noted that there has been a definite change in the type of students attracted to our school. From the Talmudic, foreign born, Hebraic type of student evolved a typical American type. The T.A. student, today, is tall, good-looking, and much more aware and preservant of health than ever before. He notes that the discipline has remained the same. There has been a tremendous rise in extra-curricular interests. As he puts it, the outstanding features of our school are: The high caliber of our students, the zeal and seriousness of purpose with which the students devote themselves to their studies, the high standards achieved by our students in com- petitive exams with students from all schools In Esteem Dr. Shelley R. Saphire of New York State, such as the State Schol- arship and Regents examinations, the large percentage of graduates entering college for higher education, and the excellent records they achieve. Wheras forty years ago the T.A. student was entering the studies leading to the Rabbinate or Hebrew teaching, Dr. Saphire notices in our class a strong inclination towards science, which he feels is due to more opportunities for scientists brought about by a scientific revolution. Dr. Saphire has been closely associated with many scientific research programs sponsored by Columbia University and the U.S. government. More than five publications on biological research have been released under his name. ln the past, in Y.U., Dr. Saphire has held the position of Praofessor and Head of the Biology de- partment. Chairman ofthe Pre-Dental and Pre-Medi- cal advisory committee, and Dean of Faculty. Pres- ently he is the supervising principal of the Yeshiva University High Schools. He feels that our most outstanding problem in high school is the inability of the administration to separate the high school students, from the college atmosphere. Erecting a new high school building may overcome this. We were at a disadvantage be- cause of the present physical difficulty. lf a new building weqe added to the Y.U. campus, many press- ing problems such as the lack of both chemistry and physics laboratories and conference rooms for stu- dent-teacher discussions, would be eliminated. Many of us never realized how hard the man behind he golden doors has been working to further our interests and the interests of Y.U.H.S. as a center of American Jewry. As for his own personal plans, Dr. Saphire com- mented, . . .To stay healthy and continue working Graduation is accompanied by nostalgia. As we reminisce our four years at T.A. we are aware that the influence of Mr. Abrams prevailed upon us con- stantly during our high school career. The duties of a registrar are more than iust main- taining discipline. He must set an example for those under his care, and Mr. Abrams has responded be- yond the call of duty. His perseverance was a major cause of the proper development of our intellects. After perceiving his altruistic tendencies, our zeal for iustice and righteousness was enflamed. He has tire- lessly served us as an understanding father and loyal guardian, with our best interests in mind. Never has he hesitated to sacrifice time and effort on behalf of this graduating class. Our bonds with the administra- tion were strengthened through his genial and ami- able personality. We will all remember the personal regard he showed to all of us. Humbly we acknowledge our faith in the prin- ciples of our school as taught by him. We know that whatever we shall do in the future will be a symbol of Yeshiva as promoted by Mr. Abrams. Our Fresh- man innocence, our Sophomore escapades, our Jun- ior obstinacy, our Senior haughtiness-Mr. Abrams has been a part of them all. We acknowledge this. L..- Dr. Hyman B. Grinstein for the school. Dr. Saphire's inexhaustible energy has won him a prominent position in the American community, which we can be sure will always be filled and merited by a man who is a symbol of the Jewish people's faith and courage. Mr. Norman B. Abrams The figure of Dr. Hyman B. Grinstein has towered constantly in the annals of T.A.'s history. Few people are as deserving of the gratitude of our class as is Dr. Grinstein. As the backbone of former T.I., now known as the Hebrew Department, its success as an institution can be personally attributed to him. Every student who has ever come in contact with Dr. Grin- stein knows well that his sincere and personal in- terest in the problems of his disciples was a major cause for the success of T.l. As a pedagogue, Dr. Grinstein knows no equal, and as friend, he truly exemplifies the maxim, A friend in need is a friend indeed. Many of us have benefitted from his infinite knowledge of Judaism, its culture and philosophy. We have all appreciated Dr. Grinstein, and we have all felt a great loss upon losing him as our adminis- trator with the reorganization of the Hebrew De- partment this past year. Although he has left us in name, we are sure that his spirit and influence will remain forever. And so we, the Senior class, express our thanks to Dr. Grinstein for the important part he played in our lives during our four years' stay at T.A. Joe Judenberg Edifor-in-Chief v fir.. ,g f ' .

HORN Q 3 lr THE F En lis More than ever before, it is necessary to express oneself clearly and effectively. The English Department at T.A. makes a concerted fand we hope, successfulj effort to teach the student how to write and speak effectively and clearly. Writing extensively is an integral part of all the English courses at T.A. Students are taught the mechanics of English grammar, usage, and composition, and are encouraged to use what they have learned in writing original prose and poetry. Numerous school newspapers afford an excellent chance for interested individuals to practice the skills they have learned, and Themes, the student literary publication, encourages creative writing, by publishing original stories, essays, and poetry. Effective, correct speech is also stressed by the English department, and special classes are available for those with speech difficuties. At T.A. the student is also introduced to some of the masterpieces of the world's literature. By careful examination of these works a discriminating sense of tone and style is developed. In the course of four years of English reading, the student witness the siege of Troy with Homer, observes Soc- rates in his last moments, is entertained at the Tabard Inn, explores the inner reaches of men's minds with Shakespeare, meets Dickens' menagerie of characters, and sees the world through the eyes of Robert Frost. The student is ever encouraged to supplement classroom work with outside read- ing and make the wonderful world of books part of himself. Students at T.A. have the good fortune to be taught English by Messrs. Bloom, Leibel, Horn, and Gendell.. The enthusiasm of our English Faculty is contagious, the effects of the efforts, far reaching. Glimpsing the world of Homer with Mr. Gendell, exploring for the first time the world our poets see and hear it with Mr. Bloom, entering the world of David Cop- perfield with Mr. Horn, and hearing Shakespeare's soliloques read by Mr. Leibel-all these are, in different ways, experiences never to be forgotten. If one leaves T.A. a more educated person than when he entered, it is due in no small part to the efforts of our English Department .... MR. BLOOM f I J X iff: l I r ,.? - MR. GENDELL LTY athematics If your mind be wandering, study mathematics, was Francis Bacon's advice to a friend. And good advice it was, for few subiects encourage, teach-even demand-the art of clear thinking more than mathematics. It is the objective of mathematics courses at T.A. to develop to the fullest extent in the student the ability to think clearly and to reason quantitatively. Throughout these courses, students are encouraged to toy with mathematical abstractions, to see beauty in the symmetry and rightness of a theorem, and to feel a sense of satisfaction in understanding-or perhaps even creating -a mathematical idea. In all the courses, emphasis is placed, as well, on utilization of mathematical ideas in solving everyday probems, and in the more advanced courses, on a few of the applications of mathematics to physics and engineering problems. Starting with algebra, the student at T.A. progresses in the dis- coveries of Euclid, through the pons asinorem, through trigonometry and even, if he wishes, through a first year calculus course. We have heard lately about the dearth of competent mathematics teachers in high schools. At T.A., we have no such problem: each of our mathematics teachers has seen the white hot light of truth in mathematics and has conveyed his enthusiasm for the subiect to his students. Mr. Lichten- berg, with his non-Euclidian handkerchief and his exclamatory it's beauti- ful, isn't it, for his calculus class, Mr. Greitzer, with his unswerving land unnerving, eye for easy ways to do cute problems, Mr. Berger, in his geometry classes, and Mr. Cohen in his trig classes. The Mathematics de- partment at T.A., with its intellectually stimulating men who can teach, and its intelligent course of study, has made our preliminary study of the Queen of the Sciences something more than a High School Math Course. MR. LICHTENBERG MR. BERGER new-. MR. COHEN MR. GREITZER A . DR. SHAPIRO MR. BREINAN MR. KOENIGSBERG 'KX .1 ,l t V 4 Histor ' te? This age, more than any other, calls for a more thorough under- standing on the part of all thinking individuals of the history of their own country, the history and problems of other lands, and an appreciation of the heritage that one hundred and fifty generations of Man have be- queathed us. The social studies courses at T.A. give one a more than perfunctory glimpse of the many key concepts of the humanities and social sciences. Throughout the school, students are encouraged to think out the reasons behind the fact in the text book, and to understand the implications of various concepts on the present world situation. In the various courses, students are encouraged to do supplementary research on various aspects of the courses, thus becoming acquainted with standard reference and research works as well as research techniques. ln the last two years of high school, at least one paper per term sum- marizing and, if possible, evaluating books on- material included in the term's work, or on problems of current importance is required. The economic geography-civics course given during the freshmen year is aimed at inculcating an elementary understanding of the various systems of government in the world, and of the concepts of geopolitics. After studying world history, the student begins to realize that the present world with its moral, political, and economic problems is really the culmination of the efforts of more than 4000 years of mankind. The American History course given at T.A. is perhaps the most dif- ficult of all its social studies courses-and also the most interesting and most rewarding. Emphasis is placed on the development of political freedom in the U. S., the theory and function of the American government, and on economic changes in the United States. The members of our history department have a gift for illuminating the printed text with the supplementary data and ideas so necessary for a real understanding of history, government, economics, and geography. World History with a running, tongue-inlcheek fwe hopell commentary, is taught by Dr. Benjamin Shapiro. American History and Economic Geography are taught ably by Mr. Harry Wollman and Mr. Alexander Breincln. MR. WOLLMAN 1 l L 1' M r . . J X is 'NT A A 1 . ' V-1 'J W ', , a 321 Q sl 1 is s L T Science T The science department of T.A. endeavors to convey to the student an understanding of the basic principles of the sciences, acquaint him with the methods of scientfic investigation, show him how scientific principles are used in every day devices and encourage a further interest in the sciences on his part. General Science, a course required for graduation at T.A., develops in the student an understanding of scientific principles and their applica- tions, it also provides a basis for all other scientific courses given at T.A. Taught by Mr. Maurice Schain for many years, the course was revised two years ago to place added emphasis on developments in electronics' and nucleomics. Biology T-2 introduces the student to the basic unit of life: the cell, its structures and processes. It then develops the student's understanding of plant structure and functions of the various systems. Comparative an- atomy, embryology, evolution, and kindred topics are also touched upon. Biology l-2 is taught by Mr. Edward Frankel, as fine a person as he is a teacher. Many of the improvements in everyday life can be attributed to the results of chemical research. The chemistry l-2 course at T.A. deals with atomic and molecular structure, chemical formulae, chemical reations, ioni- zation, equilibrium, and the properties and uses of the more common ele- ments. Chemistry is taught by Dr. George J. Harwell, whose scope of knowledge in chemistry land in many other unrelated fields, as welll is well-nigh amazing. During their senior year at T.A., many students enjoy taking physics T-2. The syllabus includes elementary mechanics, heat, light, electronics and nucleonics: their theory and application. For the first time, the student begins to see how abstract mathematics is utilized in the sciences. Taught by Dr. Samuel Greitzer, the course is notable for a lucidity and completeness of explanation, not usually found in high school physics courses, and for tthe many supplementary side-lights provided by Mr. Greitzer. One more word need be added about the scientific courses at T.A. None are taught with the sole aim of permitting the students to pass high on the terminal Regents examinations. Instead, their primary goal is to provide a substantial basis for future work in the sciences. And, to one not planning further academic work in the sciences, they provide a more than superficial understanding of the fields that are responsible for most of the new features of the present world. . 5 1' tif llci t i'tff ii'i' zz MR.

The backbone of the Hebrew course is the reading, understanding, and discussion of various books in Hebrew Litera- ture. The main purpose of these studies is to improve our understanding of the Jewish people both past and present. We are inspired to learn by the zeal of our masterful Hebrew Teachers, Rabbi Berenson, Rabbi Parnes, and Rabbi Dardak. Minors The obiective of the two year required Art course at T.A. is to develop in the student some facility for drawing and some understanding of principles of color, design, and lettering. Art 'I-2 and 3-4 are taught by Mr. John Sobel, a professional artist, who supplements the course with side- lights into the history of the arts. One of the more maior of - E L' f , 9 the minors of T.A. is Music T-4. - '3 ,- The curriculum includes an in- A' troduction to musical notation and terms, a history of music from its rudimentary begin- nings through twentieth cen- tury orchestral and choral works, with special emphasis on the techniques, lives and MR.

GROSSMAN works of the maior composers, and an examination of some of the masterpieces of music by listening to and discussing their recordings. Mr. Emery Grossman, instructor of music, succeeds in giving his students a glimpse into the wonderful world of music. A sound mind in a sound body might be the motto of our physical education department. The development of good health through skill in physical activities is the obiective of this department. A first aid course is also part of the required Physical Education course at T.A. There is ample opportunity for participation in intramural sports and in the interscholastic teams, among which are the basketball, baseball, tennis, and swimming teams. Physical Education is taught at T.A. by Mr. Bernard Saracheck and Mr. Hyman Wettstein. M-.2 r Languages Three languages are taught at T.A. be- sides Hebrew-Latin, French and Spanish. Latin, a pre-requisite for anyone who does work in the classics, uses Bellus Gallim, as its second year text. French is necessary for most advanced scientific work and Spanish is useful today because of the closeness with many of the South American countries and the necessity for a greater understanding of the many Spanish-speaking Americans. Thor- ough understanding of the grammar of a language and acquisition of an extensive vocabulary are stressed. An understanding of the people who speak the language, their customs, traditions and history is also de- veloped. Whenever possible, short works of literature in the original tongue are also studied. Two years of one of these aforemen- tioned courses is required for graduation. DR.

Headed by he Assistant Registrar, Rabbi David Weinbach, the office squad performs major and menial tasks, from making out report cards to marking attendance. Rabbi Weinbach may always be seen sitting at his desk writing out admits or refusing to do so. The two secretaries Molly and Naomi take care of typing, mimeograph- ing and calling parents when the need arises.

We like to think that our four years also would be an empty case but for their memorable incidents and events. f X The following is a portrayal of an Alumni Reunion of the Class of '57 as seen through the eyes of one of its members. The atmosphere crackles with the electricity of anticipation. The room is filled with voices of gaiety and ioviality. Nostalgia and fond memories fill the room. Slowly but surely, everyone seems to be moving towards a seat. The reunion of our class is officially getting under way. The singing of the Hatikvah and the Star Spangled Banner brings back the memory of all of those glorious days when we stood in the Auditorium at the beginning of every assembly. The vivid picture of Mr. Lichtenberg stand- ing on the stage, his face shining with warmth and sincerity, Abusch, Adler and other ardent Zionists standing like stiff boards during the singing of the Hatikvah, the fear that someone will hear that you do not know all of the words to the Star Spangled Banner, everyone straining his eyes to see if Mr. Abrams had left the auditorium yet. Probably for the first time in History, T.A. stu- dents listened attentively to the secretary as he read the minutes of what went on during our last gather- ing, as he retold our four glorious years in T.A. ...On Sept. ll, 7953 the largest freshman class in the history of Talmudical Academy began at- tending classes. Dressed in their navy blue Bar- mitzvah suits, they managed to rid the seats and desks of the dust which had accumulated over the summer. Teachers, seniors, and Sam's cat seemed to perplex most of the students. Now, as I think back, my mind wanders into the past. Seems funny that there was actually a time when teachers gave us a rough time. Just about the only consolation is, that as stupid as we were as Freshmen, Mr. Wollman proved to be no match what- soever for our ever growing know how. He found favor in the eyes of Kreeger and Liebler by means of his 98-99 club. As a rule only those who belonged to the 80-9Ol5'Bj club could join his institution which was one Madrega higher. There is, however, one thing which cannot be taken away from him as a teacher. He sure knew how to give a great review for the final. Even the Talmidai Cachomim in Mr. Breinan's class were pleading for a peek at the all- inclusive chazorah. .. il' 3 QT' 1 S Egg -cl. AA , ti P A . . 'I J ' ' ' 1 R -, U E.f,1J,?,x sf :, ' - ,W , 5 ? We , x Y' ,i Then , of course, during the two periods a week when we had our stimulating Art course, everything was pretty much under our control. Once in a while Mr. Sobel suspended the class, flunked everyone for the midterm, or called down Napoleon, but as a rule his behavior was deserving of an S-. When the usual question who's Dick Hertz came around, After searching everywhere, Sam Feder was nowhere to be found, ' When every innocent soul promised that he didn't know, Then Mr. Sobel knew that we were nothing but a foe. As I recall, the second year of Art wasn't quite as much fun as the first. Now let's see, first of all Soble comprehended the fact that everyone rubbed out the U's which he had given, and did the assign- ment over. This simply meant that everyone had to waste an Art period or two doing some art work. Then there were some new Sophomores who came into the school who had never taken Art l. Well, course, How the ---- can you do the second year,' to quote the dialect of our teacher. However, there are really no complaints. All of those times, when we ran up to his desk asking him to help us out with the work, or the times we had those airplane fights, or the time we sat shivering in the office be- cause of suspension, will remain longer in my mind then anything we would have leraned in a regular high school art course. Our Secretary the future Dr. Eck continued, Phys, Ed. was taught by Mr. Sarachek and Mr. Wettsteinf' My muscles still hurt from Sarachek's workouts and dodging his flying basketballs. I can still see pudgy Merowitz straining to touch his toes. Gym proved one thing: that some of us were taller lying down than standing up. The more pleasant of the triumverate of minors was music taught by Mr. Emery Grossman. I would rather see his Double or Nothing Game on television than the 564,000 Question. The epitome of ignorance was displayed dur- ing the first test given to our class. needless to say, if you didn't take the first year 1 l I There were some students who actually got low marks because they did not know the work. After much debate the first unwritten law in the existence of our class was written. Lack of knowledge shalt not be an excuse for poor grades. Little did we know then, what great value the law contained. At first it was a bit difficult to get it in practice. There were some ethical students. How- ever, the boys from Salanter and Soloveitchik such as Schaffer and Perlmutter who got 95's and lOO's on the hardest of tests convinced them that a bit of rationalization could do the trick. Then, of course, there were some who were inexperienced and crav- en, but when they came to the conclusion that it was a matter of the survival of the fittest they became intrepid also. Brot and Korngold caught on quickly with the slide-away gyp sheet and the full-page reference notes. When it came to the Regents, there were some who felt that due to the declaration which had to be signed a line should be drawn. However, the en- vironment was so conducive lduring the examl that little bits of paper, always headed with the words Cram Sheets, just in case, started to crinkle and crackle. Only during examination were all quarrels forgotten, and the class merged into one united body in separable except by the Bronx Science prac- tors . . . Mr, Gendell taught us Art , the art of putting over your idea even if you didn't have one. This is necessary in order to be a success through life in general, and T.A. in particular. Merowitz excelled in his class. The potentiality of our class was first noted in the excellent attendence at intra-mural checker matches. Signs of growing politicians were seen when Baron and Parsons got appointed to the Committee to Investigate Water Fountains and the Lost and Found Committee. Finals were ap- proaching. , hgffjv I? gt Alf TES? 6.5.4-l fl V T mf-f . kg vf sf .K fjyf it ii to i I can still remember the agony the Yeshiva boys went through waiting to be called on by that iovial little man with the white beard who always happened to come around during the holiday season. Meanwhile, their counterparts in T.I. were sweating it out studying for their Bechinat Gemer. The week before T.I. finals, there was a mass migration to the dorm where out came the no-doz pills. After many sleepless hours learning a term's course in one night, the T.l. boys entered their exams with exams that had been given already, exams that were being given, and exams that were yet to be given and the always-handy reference sheets. A motion was made to adjourn for the summer. Passed unanimously. When attendance was taken after the sum- mer, quite a number of our friends were absent. Space Ship Waggerman, Ivy League Paley, Rocky Elburn and many more had left us. The first order of business was choosing a language. an 5. , 5 V 1. 5 Ti h Nobody could decide which of the three evils they should suffer with for two years. Leiter and his eager counterparts decided to take Latin, the Mother Language, so that they could better un- derstand their English studies. Penner and Zuckie however decided to take Latin to learn about the thrilling roman war adventures and orgies. The stu- dents who took French did so with the thoughts of Gay Paree in the back of their minds. Larry Kranes who took Spanish, bashfully admitted that he did so because he was unable to understand what his girl- friend was saying. Pl Rv Ish c--W HORN, , SHAYKSPIRE I U M 14197 .ML my Mr, Frankel's Biology course was very informa- tive........ On the first day, the boys frantically leaped through the pages of their textbooks hoping to find the answers to the questions Mr Schain had so blush- ingly evaded. Having learned a lot about nothing in General Science, everything we learned in Biology was completely new to us. We kind of lost a little bit of faith in the course when Mr. Schain's son won the top honors in the State Scholarship, thereby disproving the whole concept of intelligence being inherited. A great many students found it difficult to understand how a tadpole was able to change into a little frog and then a big one in so short a time. However, when one of the students pointed out that a human being changed in so short a time, Dave . . . Mr. Weinbach . . . Rabbi Weinbach, then they understood completely. 'A new teacher came into the school to teach Geometry. Mr. Berger was his name. Gee! We were really scared the first day Mr. Berger started his Geometry course. With that glow- ing gleam in his eyes he told us how he had given 5 per cent and 10 per cent to students in the trade school where he had taught before. His red pencil, slide ruler, and little dots, all seemed strange to us. As Sophomores we could not understand his complex marking system since it required a thorough knowl- edge of Solid and Analytic Geometry, differential and integral calculus. Since it was getting dark outside and there were very few of us who had davened mincha, Manny Goldblum suggested that we take a break for a few minutes so as to daven. After quarreling for fifteen minutes over who should daven, everyone agreed that Schneider was the right man. 2 - Scrcrrd A I' Q , V sg! gf- f , X f 5 1 X , f 1 . 1 x ' ' --J . .n, .Q ' Q ,,-3 '-5 r' ' lZ'i9'5.- , T?.L i ,.j:5:Q.

It was not until Felsen introduced Gootch did we understand why Phil had that shining gleam in his eye. When the Gootch cried out in despair because of the lack of lights, Abie Brot shot his flash bulb camera and Gootch took off his hat so as to brighten up the place. ., L 1 T .,c.

I warn you boys nor what you are old And think that you are quite bold, Stay clear from the Jewish Zonah and even more so from Avoda Zorah, Don't think that I don't know what goes In men's mighty minds like Moe's For I too have a devil working on me But I have defeated him as you can see. It you don't mind I'll give a hint Concerning that which comes from mint. No matter what one might pay, And no matter what he might say. Never take a iob in T.I. Look what it did to I, i The round of applause was really tremendous. Just listening to Gootch speak seemed to form a lump in the throat of all those who had ever had any connection with him. Sure, they had teachers like Reguer and Lif, but in their classes you either learned something or fell asleep trying, and there was Rabbi Siev who got demoted to the college, but no one was quite as spectacular as the Gootch. Well ,... , There was Rabbi Grossman . . . The second speaker of the evening seemed to be pushing his way through the crowd. It was only proper that the student which he developed should introduce him. Slim Schimmel gave quite a long in- troduction telling about all of Rabbi Katz's contri- butions to Yeshiva, Orthodox Judaism, and his Soul. Rabbi Katz then proceeded.

H AAI As the drone of his speech went on, those who had learned under Rabbi Katz recalled the in- dignant Iook on his face when he saw all the books piled high on the desk . . . when he found out about the cat and the milk . . . when he told us about the boys in Brooklyn. In Rabbi Feldblum we had found a man who was prompt and never sick fBoroch Hash- emi, in Rabbi Tendler, a Biologist and wit, in Rabbi Weiss a man whom we loved and admired, in Rabbi Fishman a man we respected and emulated but in Rabbi Katz we found a man we enioyed immensely. f , J?

As one might expect, the ice cream and soda did not have quite the same taste as at the many parties we had during our years in T.A. As early as our Freshman year we began to throw parties on those days which try the knowledge of all students who never did any studying. Dr. Brayer never ap- proved of the idea, but when Asch furtively slipped one of his picturesque pocketbooks on his desk with the cover facing up, he concluded that a good talk- ing to fellow-brudders to explain the evils of those books would be more important than one of his oral Nach tests. Not until we sang Or Zorrua la Tsadick, bought a couple of books from Chaver, and Schneider wrote a long note thanking him for de- veloping us, did Rabbi Katz permit us to partake of our potato chip and pretzel.

Joe Judenberg, who took care of the seating arrangement, fixed the seating plan in a very clever way . . . In the right hand corner of the room, almost completely out of sight, sat Mr. Horn, in his gold tie, orange jacket, red yamulka, purple pants, and ballet slippers, right next to Mr. Breinan who was wearing a charcoal black suit and a grey bow tie. While filing his nails with one hand and adiusting his pants with the other, Mr. Horn, with a flutter of his eyelids very coquettishly said to Mr. Breinan, You know Alex- ander, there were some boys in this class whom I could play around with, but as a rule these bums were pretty lousy students. I was so happy when they got rid of me as Faculty Advisor because I didn't have to do any more work for the rest of the year. I really fooled them. You know, now that I think of it, with those Sunday programs and my favorite students from past years coming in, and with playing my records that they had bought for their benefit, if CH 2? ' - N , Really, there was great quality in this class . . . take Wiesel for example, You mean Butch, interrupted Mr. Breinan, yeah, he and de rest of them were the best of its type on the market . . . After excusing himself for not bothering to listen to what Mr. Horn was talking about, Mr. Breinan cracked a smile for Life Magazine, which was running an article on RipIey's Believe it or not. On the other side of the room, Dr. Greitzer could be seen sitting next to his colleague Mr. Woll- man. The first five minutes of their conversation found Mr. Wollman apologizing to Dr. Greitzer. He then whipped out his brown notebook in which he had written the conversation he was to use to make our lesson more interesting. Prof. Beard was the source of his text. When Dr. Greitzer emptied his pipe in the nearest waste paper basket which, this time, happened to be Mr. WoIIman's notebook, Berg- las was heard to exclaim, Gee, what a slob. Mr. Wollman, however, was in dire circumstances. The pages of his notebook had burned and he was at a complete loss for words. Hecht finally came to the rescue telling him that the next word was fine , Mr. Wollman then proceeded with his planned con- versation, Fine weather today. Dr. Greitzer more or less dominated the conversation from then on. AKIBJRF, f 'ff' X , v f Y X it ei- x ' ' A L ,' V . . , A a , . 1 lx 1 ge - 1 - 1 Q , .I Q2 -an J I U ,iid I? si. ' ' v I 'Sq .

Never before had he realized his genius. During the course of the year Wieder had helped him out, but now, at long last, he had ad- vanced to so high a level that nobody was intelligent enough to understand what he was talking about. In the corner next to the head table Rabbi Gross- man could be seen talking with Mr. Bloom. I never tried to teach my class quantity. I am more interested in quality, proceeded Rabbi Grossman. I am a man of my word. I wrote a lot of articles on every subject. I know a lot about philosophy but I don't want to go into that now. Throughout the meal, Mr. Bloom sat back crunching on his Clark bar with that understanding sympathetic look in his eyes. Since by now, all of the food was finished, the meeting resumed. The last order of Business was the Election of Chairman of the Alumni. The cliques im- mediately began electioneering. The sight of the Elchy Clique, Yeshiva Clique, T.I. Clique, and all the minor cliques quickly electioneering brought back to memory all of the political scandals of our class. The Elchy elections, Arista's voting, Parson's election and his domination of the Student Council were all as phony as Dr. Belkin's annual graduation telegram. I 5 fc I I I in Mr. WoIIman's class had already left ten minutes eariler, since the service squad was needed to super- vise the dismissal. As the boys left the room, voices could be heard shouting, keep to the right . . . keep to the left . . . I'll stay in the middle if I feel like it . . . fyatch . . . The auditorium is empty. A serene quiet prevails throughout the school. Our days in T.A., full of friends, teachers, incidents, and events are over.

The time 53-E,--Y has come for us to be known as UATES HARRY ABUSCH Peripatetic Tzvi Abusch is most often found roaming the halls, accoutered in work pants, work shirt and proletarian Kipoh, expounding the merits of reli- gious Zionism and Socialism. Tzvi in- tends to grab the first Banana Boat leav- ing for Israel to become a member of Kibbutz Hadati conducted by Bnei Aki- vah. While waiting to leave for Aretz, Tzvi spends his time irritating our recal- citrant economics teacher, Mr. Wollman, who insists on believing in the merits of capitalism. After a year spent learning the finer points of collective farming in Israel, Tzvi will honor the T.l. faculty with his presence for two years. He will then at-tend Agricultural school before return- ing to his beloved Aretz. Feature Editor T.l.

One usually meets him on his way to Webers, where he retires to a smoke filled table in the back to debate the advantages of Zion- ism and Socialism, as seen through the eyes of a Betar-nik. His staunch idealism has involved him in frequent brushes with the Administration which somehow could not understand why one would rather picket Nasser and King Saud than attend classes. Because Steve feels that Israel needs Engineers, and because he has an aptitude for mechanics, he will study En- gineering at City College. He then hopes to settle permanently in Israel.

Born in Belgium, Aptie has iniected a Gallic flavor into the senior class and an admiration for doing things a la francaise. Aptie seems to think that life is much too important to 'take 'too seriously, and many are the times we agree with him. He has earned 'the title of Pawn Pusher by being one of the Big Three of the lnterscholastic Chess Team. When he is not otherwise oc- cuppied, Apt is an avid reader of Dic- kens, Dumas and Waltari. After reading Not As a Stranger twice, he has cle- cided to become a Doctor. Apt will take his Pre-Med studies at Y.U. andlthen go on to Medical School, where we are sure he will succeed. Interscholastic Chess, Intramurals, Committees at ROBERT ASCH Robert Asch is one of the few people we know who is not a member of the Me-First Party: he puts the welfare of others ahead of his own comfort-a rare phenomenom these days. Yet, Bob has the most annoying habit of telling all of the truth all of the time. His penchant for pricking a grandiose balloon of pretenses with a word or two has made him the bane of some of our Finest teachers. Observing Bob for a time, one is re- minded of a small boy who sees the world freshly and whose mind is not clouded by any of the pretenses Wise adults have concocted. Although it is not very improbable that Bob will leave his mark on the world, we doubt strong- ly if it will leave any mark on him.

The Rabbleaisic knick-names he coined for his classmates can not be forgotten. Among Phil's fondest memor- ies, we are sure, are those red-blooded, one-hundred percent American, laissez- faire, pre-Abrams days at T.l. His Satur- day night excursions into the darkest interiors of Brooklyn, together with his crony Baron, cause him to be one of the founding members of the Sleepy Sunday Morning Club in T.l. He was one of the stalwarts of our championship lntra-mural Basketball team. Phil is one of the most amiable people in the senior class. We are sure he will lighten the load of everyone he ever meets through life. Appropriations Committee, Llararian, Junior Ledger Staff, Baseball Team, Intramurals murals WSW ,.

He is one of the most energetic people at T.A. Few people can equal his eighty decibel yell in the locker room after classes have finished at six. Hal's many extra-curricu- lar activities do not stop him from active participation in curricular ones. Dubbed The Colonel by Dr. Reguer, Hal has helped make T.I. the wonderfully wacky place it is.

Although he has been a member of our class for only two years, he has made a good number of friends, as shown by his elec- tion to the position of Secretary of the G.O.

He is an omnivorous reader, enioying everything from Shakespeare to Spillane. Spurred by his interest in the welfare of others, Perry has decided to study Medicine at Y.U. or Columbia.

His paper served to enlighten many a stu- dent as to what was happening in the outside world. However, there were two things in the paper which he kept for himself-the iokes and the crossword puzzle. With these valuable time wasters, he managed to ioyfully pass the morning hours. However, when Jake paid atten- tion in class, which happened to be most of the time, he immediately became one of the teachers' favorites. Together with Felsen, he was an invaluable aid to Mr. Wollman, during trying times in the class- room. Jake plans to attend Hunter where he will major in Science.

Herbie's associa- tion with T.A. was not entirely one-sided, however. The piety and conviction of the T.A. student quickly ingrained, in Herb, a love of Toiah and a will to learn, which surpassed even that of the Y.U. Masmid. He was even able to reach the Madrega of keeping awake dur- ing Shiur in the morning, and saving his napping for Mr. Breinan's soporific lectures.

For the veterans, seasoned Student Council goers, the Stu- dent Council meetings presented a sharp contrast to previous ones by its maintenance of some sem- blance ot order. However this small detect was done away with as the season got under way. The fall Student Council, despite its many shortcom- ings, did manage to accomplish many important things. They are here listed in part: 'l. The President was able to secure for the student an administrative statement assur- ing him that there was no need for a Parents' Teachers' Organization in an in- stitution of our type. 2. The Vice-President solved the age-old prob- lem of club periods vs. assembly periods fwhether to continue clubs or institute an assembly programj by doing away with both. The secretary had Y.U.H.S. grammarians working overtime on his mimeographed minutes. The Treasurer managed to pick up'a tab that will start the next three Student Coun- cils off with a deficit, as Y.U.H.S. book- covers were purchased for the first time. The Y.U.H.S. G.O. pins were also distrib- uted during this illustrious term. In an effort to maintain equal status with the United States Supreme Court, the- Stu- dent Court membership was raised to eight iudges. It was suggested that the entire stu- dent body act as judge and iury to all Student Court cases, but since no cases were brought up, the point was not pressed. tudent Council FALL K ll X 0.4. ,-.51 li ' o 0 Xl W 4 I -f 25 T . ff ' ' ,' I it 14 l . 4, .il . -. , qi' , fl, . if fl ,l :lj f I 'fx A' l 4 12 F .

Proceedings returned to normal with the absence of Mr. Lichtenberg at the first few meetings. A host of disinterested sub- stitute faculty advisors allowed bedlam to reign, much to the joy of Sanford Parsons, the newly elected President. Limiting of debate before de- bate was held became standard practice. Notable among the accomplishments of this exemplary ad- ministration were: I. The institution of a new system of speedy distribution of minutes cutting down min- ute production to within two weeks after the meeting took place. 2. The formation of Compact, a combina- tion of Themes and Scientific into one publication. This was another step,in the direction of eventual elimination of all mimeographed publications in Y.U.H.S. 3. A Guidance Committee to help the stu- dents. The functions and duties of this committee were not clearly defined but the Student Council expressed sincere wishes that future Student Councils would make it more successful in order that it may become an integral part of our life. 4. Once more, attempts were made to sub- stitute a half day on Friday for Sunday school after Passover. As usual, they were unsuccessful. The meetings and workings, this term, have shown conclusively the purpose the Student Coun- cil serves in our school: but it is not, as many stu- dents think, to plan the school activities, but rather to divert and sublimate the overabundance of energy in many T.A. students into useless and harmless patterns. .

Senior Council The Senior Council is a representative body elected democratically by the Senior Class. It is responsible for correlating the activities of the Senior Class. This year, many of the activities car ried on by the Senior Council have been very successful. For the first time, the Senior Class went to see a Broadway Play, The Teahouse of the August Moon. Trial by Jury an operetta was chosen by the Council to be the Senior play and It was aptly directed by Moe Isaak the secretary of the Senior Council. The purchase of senior pins and graduation iackets, also, was taken care of by the Senior Council. was accomplished by this year's Council. President Harold Baron and Vice President Sol Wieder supervised the functions of the Council Secretary Moe Isaak and Treasurer Joe Judenberg handled the technical aspects of the council taking minutes and collecting dues. M. Merowitz and J Salsberg, with their invaluable suggestions, greatly aided the workings of the council. Though the meetings of the Senior Council did not always exemplify the finest behavior and decorum, much Junior Council This year's Junior Council has displayed a most lively spirit, aided greatly by the increased interest directed toward it by not only the Junior class but by the school in general. During the Fall term, the Council, presided over by Jason Wolfe, hastily obtained Senior rings fwith the new Y.U.H.S. dyej for the Juniors. The Council then proceeded to plan an interesting Spring term of class functions for their classmates. With the election of Robert Hain as Junior Council president for the months of February through June, the plans proposed by Wolfe and his associates materialized. An overwhelming ma- iority of the Juniors purchased tickets to, and at- tended the Broadway comedy, No Time for Sergeants, and the affair proved to be a great success as predicted. Outings and other functions appeared on the Junior class agenda for the inviting months of April, May and June. SEATED: E. Horowitz, E. Rosenthal, J. Wolfe, R. Hain, S.

This year the Sophomore Council added many new innova- tions. Pictures were taken to be used in the El- chanite of 1959 and plans for a sophomore outing were formulated. This year's Sophomore Council has strengthened the belief that a Sophomore Council could function successfully, and also has received the necessary experience to become a solid functioning Junior and Senior Council. 4- YIZ' Kalki x6ya06 ARISTA SEATED: M.

He was greeted by the sight of several interviewers, lounging about the room with their feet on desks. Although the room was pitch-black, he was told to turn off the lights. Perplexed, he answered, But the lights are off! Are you doubting our word? he was reprimanded. Upon being told to write his name on the board, he diligently strode forward and wrote his name. When scolded for turning his back on his exalted interviewers, he turned around and wrote with his back to the board. He was stupefied to hear someone asking him if he always wrote in such an awkward man- ner. However, he had learned his lesson and re- mained silent. Do you always stand up when you talk to someone? he was asked. Stammerring a non-committal answer, he sat down and was greeted by a shout, Who gave you permission to sit down? Then the questioning began. After long and severe interrogation, the boy broke down and confessed that he had once told someone an answer during a test. He was then asked to leave, and crawled out of the room, crying because he had displeased his overlords.

However, the original members did not remain unscathed. Two boys were temporarily suspended from Arista for their malicious art work and intentional apikorsoos. Following even more vigorous interviews, six new members were inducted into Arista, Barth, Guedualia, Hecht, Isaak, Parsons and Salsberg. Arista accomplished this year as much as had been done by Aristas in the past. - 4 'N I X a I X Li. X f TX f . A A X I A 1 .... - .... W, . -..V .. H A ' f ll Llbrar Early this fall Dr. Shapiro assumed his an- nual position of Head of the Y.U.H.S. library and selected o crew of Y.U.H.S.'s finest statisticians. Directed by Chief Librarians Kranes and Amsel, these boys, very graciously, gave of their free time for the benefit of YUHS students. Keeping the library's Dewey Decimal system, improving YUHS's reading habits, keeping records of in- coming and outgoing books, and collecting fines did at times become rather monotonous. However, this year they had a little change of pace. In the month of March the official library notebook was misplaced and a large-scale investigation took place. After extensive questioning the library stalf was about ready to give up when the famed note- book suddenly turned up where it was supposed to have been in the first place. During June, the staff, as usual, was rewarded for their year's chores by the annual Librarians' Banquet at Weber's Cafeteria. The librarians' will- ingness to do good for the school has helped make this year's a very successful and efficient library. SERVICE SQUAD FIRST ROW: A. Wiesel, A. Segal, S. Zimmelman, L. Kranes, S.

A few years ago, someone whose name will always be remembered in the annals of T.A. history hit upon the idea of a Service Squad. This consti- tuted a plan whereby the 4 or 5 brawniest Seniors station themselves at the school hallways. inciting fear in the hearts of T.A. students, they proved effective for a while but soon T.A. students found ways of avoiding the Service Squad, and the de- linquency problem was once more acute. This year's Student Council came up with what seemed to be ca solution. Early this fall a Service Squad was appointed with ten members, under the captainship of Sanford Parsons. At the start of the Spring term four able-bodied Seniors were added to the Squad, under the captainship of Jack Schwartz. Instead of keeping specific sta- tions, the S.S. members all lined up at arms length at the finish of every period, forming a human lines through which no delinquent could penetrate. However, the S.S. soon started clogging up the hallways making it difficult for the students to pass. So, accommodations were made for two long tables that were stationed between the Got- tesman Library and Mr. Wollman's Room 206. Upon these tables sat the S.S., directing traffic with their feet and giving every appearance of shepherds herding sheep. This was the most ef- fective method of keeping order in the hall and should be used again next year. LIBRARY FIRST ROW: D. Landau, H. Amsel, Dr. Shapiro, J. Lowen, T. Feldman, SECOND ROW: L.

X XX Although its masthead has always proclaimed that the Academy News was the official publica- tion of Yeshiva University High School, the Acad- .fu emy News in the past was content to remain an innocuous facsimile of a student publication. This G and other rusty precedents have been discarded -vi this year, and for the first time the Academy News . 91. has indeed bcome the voice of the student body. Many of its editorials have been highly critical f of student body apathy or administrtive policy. Outspoken sports columns have become a focus -We Y, of student interest, whether chastizing the student - body for its indifference, or the administration for its lack of facilities. Scathing lampoons of the ' school scene in general have also helped make the ,L Academy News more than a scrap-paper.

The papers' lay-out has been altered to make for 'easier read- ing, cartoons have been extensively utilized, a Purim issue was published for the first time despite strenuous objections from certain quarters, and, for the first time, seven editions of the Academy News have been published, two of which con- tained six-page-spreads.

Michael Hechtfs Sport's Slants, though sometimes infuriating, has never ceased to be stimulating and well written, and Julius Zel- manowitz' feature articles have been uniformly excellent and always a delight to read. All the Academy News editors and staff, in fact, have been unusually good this year. The Academy News of 1956-T957 has lost that certain hollow ring that formerly character- ized it and acquired a more than surface-deep air of honesty and conviction. It has continually printed what the student body thought, instead of what others thought it should contain. Future years' editors of Academy News at last have a laudable tradition to uphold! 217 E' Karr. M- Rapponort, M. Zuckerman, E. Zimme:man, M. Wechsler, S. Wieder, M. Perlmutter, P. Wiesel.

This could not have been done without the un- selfish effort and time spent by all concerned. The book in your hands represents the coopera- tive effort of many students, editors, and staff members alike. The success of this book can be accredited to them. In recognition of these facts, we take pleasure in sincerely expressing our appreciation to all the people whose services have been invaluable in the production of this book. Before we begin to thank the active members of this staff, we would like to express our sin- cerest appreciation to the administration for their cooperation. No student yearbook can be successful with- out the advice and guidance of a competent faculty advisor. Mr. Leibel's invaluable aid and guidance is the keystone in the efforts responsible for the high caliber of this yearbook. Moe Isaak, our accomplished Associate Editor, performed many varied and important tasks. He worked on the layout and correlated the art, The photography, and literature throughout the book. He is responsible for much of the art and photog- raphy on these pages. All through the year, Moe's efforts have been so important that we rank him a third Editor of the Elchanite. No yearbook can be interesting and enioy- able without the abundance of literary material. Realizing this, we have included in our book a large section of literature. For its high caliber we are indebted to the literary staff and the literary editor, Martin Merowitz. He and his staff, which include Dave Flagler, Sol Shimmel, Hal Baron, and Eli Leiter, are responsibe for the in- teresting and amusing literature that appears in this yearbook. One of the most important 'factors in the pro- duction of a yearbook is the necessary capital. Our thanks, therefore, is extended to Hal Baron and Julie Kreeger for taking into hand our mone- tary aifairs. By keeping accurate records, and making sure that the class brought in its quota, and by soliciting many ads themselves, they kept us free from financial worries. SEATED: H. Baron, E. Leiter, D.

You probably have enioyed the excellent pho- tography running through the book, and for this, many thanks are due to our photography Editor, Abraham Brot and his fine staff. The many nights that Abie spent developing, pringting, and en- larging his pictures were truly not in vain, and the book attests to his efforts. For Elchanite art work we are thankful to Sol Zimelman who has created many of the draw- ings that appear in this book. An interesting and informative Sports Sec- tion is a key part of our yearbook. Our Sports Section is the hard work of Michael Hecht and his stalt. Although the job of typing is a menial task, it is important and necessary in a work of this nature. Our typing Editors, Larry Kranes and Dave Perlmutter, and their competent stalt ful- filled their responsibilities to the utmost. Every team has a utility group and so it is with us. Gratitude is extended to our Managing Editors Dave Flagler and Harris Guedalia, who handled the technical and commercial aspects of producing a yearbook. Special thanks also go to Dave Flagler who aided the Editors in much of the original literary work of this book. Elchanit ,M 't It the verbs, nouns, and adiectives in this book are grammatically correct, then credit is due to our Copy Editor Jesse Salsberg and his staff. Last, but not least, we would like to thank the Rappaport Photography Studios for the excellent portraits and Mrs. Helen Winslow of Pilgrim Press whose advise and aid were indispensible in our work. We are honestly indebted to all these people who shared with us the responsibility of publish- ing the Elchanite. We all enioyed the comrade- ship of working together at this task, and we hope that you enioy the fruits of our ioint labor.

This was supposed to re- place the Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Fresh- man Ledgers. During its short existence, it was not able to accomplish much. This year, however, the paper came into its own. With the start of the Fall term, Solomon Schim- mel was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Y.U.H.S. Ledger. Faced with the problem of turning out a new type of publication, the editors came through with flying colors. And colors is the word, be- cause they instituted a tri-colored front page. Another improvement was the presentation of edi- torials pertinent to controversial school problems, this proved to be very effective in influencing stu- dent opinion. As the Spring term opened, the Ledger was completely revised. Under the editorial reins of Harold Baron, the paper almost completely rid itself of school news. Abandoned was the idea of publishing a newspaper including only school news unimportant enough for the Academy News to cover. Instead, a new policy of satire was intro- duced. Showing the light side of school affairs and politics found much favor in the eyes of the stu- dents. ln all probability, this successful scheme will be continued in future years with the Y.U.H.S. Ledger. SEATED: H. Basch, L. Rolhkoff, L. Korngold, S. Schimmel, H. Baon Gittleman, S. Boylan, G. Judd, STANDING: H. Gucdalia, S.

Able to appear only once in the Fall term, the paper failed to im- press it readers to any noticeable extent as being worthwhile to maintain as a school newspaper. Moe Isaak and Robert Hain, the co-editors of the paper, worked earnestly toward producing at least two good issues, but it seems that student cooperation was lacking in the form of contrib- utors to the magazine. Owing to this lack of interest, the Scientific was abolished and was supplanted in the Spring term as a section in the Y.U.H.S. Compact. Themes QD scisrimric SEATED: M. Oppenheimer, S.

Themes proved to be an unsuccessful venture in the realm of newspapering this past year. Al- though edited by Jesse Salsberg and Julie Zel- manowitz, both experienced and talented feature writers, the paper came out but once during the Fall term. However, several excellent creative works of both prose and poetry did appear in that single issue and previously undiscovered Yeshiva talent was revealed and brought to the fore. Themes was disbanded by the Student Coun- cil at the start of the Spring term, and will be represented as a part of Y.U.H.S. Compact in future years. THEMES SEATED: M. Berglas, M. Oppenheimer, M.

One of the maior accomplishments of the Spring G.O. administration was the reorganiza- tion ofthe Publication System. After much debate, argument and counter debate in the Student Council, President Parsons decided to introduce a new Publication, The Y.U.H.S. Compact, replacing Themes and Scientific. A Sports' section was in- cluded to place the paper on a proper level for the general interest of the majority of the students. After much discussion as to the qualifications of various students, two top notch editors, Morris Isaak and Robert Hain were appointed Co- Editors-in-Chief. Under their supervision several novel and interesting issues were published. The Compact was unique in that it presented articles of varied interests. The Literature section contained stories of high caliber. The Science ar- ticles proved of interest to the scientific minds floating around the school.

Until this year the above position was lust a title, entailing very few duties. However, this year Merowitz and Passow instilled new life into Inter. Math by holding weekly prac- tices. Owing to their efforts, they experienced very large turnouts. This interest was encouraging and our school was entered into the city wide lnter. Math League where, without any aid of a faculty advisor, our team finished a very good seventh out of a field of twenty schools. In the Spring we also compiled an impressive record. Since Merowitz is the only Senior on the starting five, the team will be almost the same next year and under the leadership of Beniamin Weiss, Julius Zelmanowitz, and Stanley Boylan, who were high scorers this year, the team is since to be even a bigger success in the future. Debating Team A frequent visitor to the best libraries around town will very often notice members of the Y.U.H.S. interscholastic Debating Team sopping up all the knowledge they can in preparing for a debate. This team is one of the most underated in our school. Regarded as only a minor team, under the leadership of George Schaffer, they tra- veled near and far to schools located in Brooklyn and Rockaway and have also debated frequently in our own school. This year the team was one of the largest yet, and they went through a bigger schedule than ever before. When the season ended the team's record was 2 won and i lost in inter Yeshiva league debates and 5-2 in non-league debates. Leading the team were three seniors, George Schaffer, Eli Leiter, and Eddie Katz who kept our team up in the standings by securing many im- portant victories. lt is hoped that the use of the debating team will continue in future years as well.

As with so many other teams in TA, the Chess Team has found it difficult to find worthy oppo- nents. The team, this year, had the distinction of being led by two chairmen M. Steinberg and E. Leiter. They did a magnificent iob managing to avoid losing the team on their many train trips into deepest Brooklyn. The team has been strengthened by the addition of three new mem- bers. With this added strength the team will re- main undisputed leader of the Yeshiva chess world for many years to come. The great problem before the chess team has been to establish a liason with the Central Chess Team. This has been aggravated because there is no Central Chess Team. However, we are sure that mere technicalities will not faze the team and we look forward to a cultural exchange among the represented schools. CHESS TEAM SEATED: I. Apterbach, E. Leiter, M.

Checker Team This year's Checker team has been outstand- ing, it has emerged victorious in all its meets. Upon closer examination however it was per- ceived that one reason for the victorious season that only one match was played. A second reason is that this one match was played against YUHS for girls thereby affording an extra inspiration. This year's Checker team did serve a purpose, however, in establishing firmer relations between our two schools. We hope that this policy of holding an annual reunion between the two checker teams will be continued. C ess Team Track - i Team .. TE... hu- Q F , we , R I , -3 N4 , C n 1 L T 1 J K , f'. ' x . , 1.

I I Although this is the second year of the track team's existence, it has not as yet come into its own. This was not due to a lack of interest. Nu- merous students turned out for the team, and there was always a good showing at the practice sessions. Co-captains Zuckerman and Littwin chose a d formidable squad early in the year. Kranes, Litt- win, and Zimmelman were our short distance , dashers. The broad iumping tasks were shared by 4 Isaak and Zuckerman, who both participated ably f 'O'-S , I in other events as well. Brot and Komgold ex- celled in long distance races. The rest of the 'X squad, instrumental in the team's limited success, was made up of Genack, Wieder and Resnick. Although hampered by the administration's re- fusal to allot time for practices and competitions, the team compiled a fine record, doing very well in the inter-Yeshiva meets. We hope that next year's team will overcome the difficulties encoun- tered this year, and will emerge in the forefront of TA athletics. x 'N TX.-1 Swimmin Team The swimming team at T.A., after being dry- docked for six years, has come back into the swim, and has now completed its second successful sea- son. Sparked by the competitive aims of the Inter Yeshiva Athletic Committee, the team was formed during the second half of our Junior year. After placing second in the first meet, Captain Moe Isaak, with the aid of Mike Zuckerman, both experienced swimmers, set about training the team to make up for their lack of experience. With practice sessions at the 28th street City Pool, the team was soon shaped into top competitive form. lts efforts paid off, for the T.A. mermen placed first fto the extent of winning every event in one meet and winning every meet that followedj. Owing to the many good swimmers who were lower classmen this year, the team is slated' for many more victories in meets to come. SWIMMING TEAM FIRST ROW: M. Zuckerman, M. Isaak, SECOND ROW: M.

Wieder . ff KET B LL The year 1956-57 will long be remembered in the an- nals of Yeshiva Basketball history as the year of emer- gence. This year the metamorphosis of Yeshiva from the dominant force in a small insecure Yeshiva Basketball league to a power tobe reckoned with by all schools, public or private, parochial or prep. For the first time in our history, we were undefeated outside of our league. Cathedral, Field- ston, Riverdale and Rhodes, leaders or nearleaders in their respective leagues, were soundly thrashed by the mini-mites. The seeds of this championship crew were first sown early in the autumn of l953, when freshmen Abe Wiesel and Dave Perlmutter were invited by coach Wettstien to play with the varsity. At the close of that year, Kranes, Korngold and Wieder the nucleus of this year's team, joined the squad. The following year, Al Blumenfeld, a tall trans- feree from RJJ and Julian Kreeger a jump-shooting wizard were added. All, but one of the boys who were to play such a prominent part in our team's success, were already varsity members as the sophomore year ended. The next term saw the entrance of a rare specimen-a Freshman who could dribble, pass, run, rebound and shoot, Hank Resnick. That year Wieder with 1 T8 points, Blumenfeld with 97 points and Kranes with 87 points, gained valuable playing experi- ence, as they started virtually every game. K lx- of Boro Park. 1 l ' I straight previous setbacks f? Whatever doubt the student body entertained concern ing our team's fortunes were quickly dlspelled in the opener against Brooklyn Yeshiva. Led by Sol Wieders 20 points Korngold's 19 and Kranes 15 the mites overcame first half iitters to trounce a well-coached determined Brooklyn qum s. - tet 63-49. In the next two contests the squad smashed scor ing records, defeating Halchal Hatorah and NY Friends Amassing the almost incredible total of 108 points in the former game, the mites broke their previous all time hugh of 'IO6 points fscored against MTJ In 19531 and the 105 scored in the latter set a new away game record After defeating Flatbush Yeshiva the Talmuds once again broke their scoring record, this time netting 132 against Mesifta During an easy game against HILl Hank Resnick scored 23, which remained the seasonal high although subse- quently tied by Sol Wieder Afterwards Yeshiva prepared g to engage its arch-rival, Cathedral at the spacious Cardinal Hayes gym in the Bronx. The Talmuds were especially anx l t ious to defeat powerful Cathedral in order to avenge four Enthusiasm was at a fever pitch as the two teams lined up for the opening tap. In the first quarter led by Resnick, Yeshiva opened up a l6-6 margin. However, led by the fine outside shooting of John Grange, Cathedral closed the gap and left the court on the short end of a 22-20 score as the half ended. During the intermission, Coach Wettstein soundly thrashed his crew for their lethargic play. They must have listened very carefully for in the early minutes of the second half, the mites scored 13 straight points leaving no doubt as to who was the superior team. With Hank Resnick- and Lou Korngold hitting consistantly, Yeshiva easily ex- tended its lead, finally winning 64-36. After defeating RJJ, Yeshiva met another traditional rival, Rhodes Prep. Rhodes took an early 6-2 lead, but the Talmuds sparked by Al Blumenfeld, spurted- ahead and were never headed thereafter. During the second and third periods, the team played their finest ball of the year, in- creasing their advantage to l8 points. ln the final period captain Larry Kranes thrilled the crowds with brilliant left and right-handed drives, scoring ll points, the most any one player was to achieve in a single period throughout the year. Al Blumenfeld led the scoring parade with 2'l, his seasons high. Subsequently, Yeshivas Haichal Hatorah, Chaim Berlin and Ramaz, were defeated with Sol Wieder scoring 20 in each of the latter two. With these victories the team broke another record by winning its first twelve games. The previ- ous record of ll was set four years ago. FIRST ROW: J. Kreeger, L. Kranes, A. Wiesel, L. Korngold, SECOND ROW: S. Wieder, D. Perlmutter, A. Blumenfeld. A. Blumenfeld The squad then traveled to meet, for the first time, a perennial leader in the strong lvy League. The Talmuds took an early 9-4 lead but at this juncture Riverdale went into an all-court press and greatly harassing the Mite's at- tack, they scored 8 consecutive points. As the first quarter ended Riverdale led T6-ll. A reiuvenated Yeshiva team took the court in the second period scoring 10 consecutive points. During the second half, Yeshiva increased its ad- vantage as Resnick, Blumenfeld and Kranes led the scoring parade. At this point Yeshiva's famed fast-break functioned especially well. At the end of this game, it was disclosed that Yeshiva's 13-O record was the best in the whole city. The season continued to run along in a smooth fashion. Brooklyn Yeshiva, Chaim Berlin, Flatbush and HlLl all fell by the wayside. After each of these easy victories, the team and the student body became more and more confident that our quintet was unbeatable. This overconfidence, together with lack of school spirit, led directly tb Yeshiva's downfall in the next game against RJJ. With Stu Harris, their 6 foot 7 inch center dunking layups, the raiders led throughout the first half. During the third period the Talmuds cut RJJ's 6 point half-time lead to 42-38, and with a quick burst in the opening 3 minutes of the last quarter knotted the score at 47 all. With 4 minutes remaining, Ausfresser the RJJ backcourt star, was fouled in the act of shooting. He hit the first and Rokeach, their'6 foot 4 inch forward batted in the second as it slipped off the rim, to give the Orange and Black a three point lead. ln the final minutes trailing 55-52 Yeshiva in- curred several infractions losing the ball each time. Resnick tallied the final basket of the game in the last few seconds but his try for a three point play went for naught, as RJJ let him drive through unmolested. Led by the great play of Sol Weider, who scored 23, the squad rebounded from this heartbreaking defeat by upping Cathedral again 87-50. The next game against Ramaz, the last game before the playoffs proved to be a nightmare. From the outset, it was apparent that this was not to be Yeshiva's night. Hank Resnick, Yeshiva's top rebounder did not play at all, due to illness, and Sol Weider, the high scorer was practically ineffective because of poor physical condition. Realizing that an upset was in the making seemed to key up Ramaz. Taking full advantage of its opportunity of controlling the boards throughout most of the game, and amidst constant cheering from its large contingent, the of- fender staved off a desperate Yeshiva rally, which had cut a fifteen point Ramaz lead to nothing in a matter of minutes. 69 1' N N ABSHIV4 UNIV H5 7 Y! A 4 l xl , L. Korngold i n l A i I In the very next game, the semi-finals before a packed throng at C. N. T., Yeshiva avenged this defeat easily, de- feating Ramaz, 51-32. With Julian Kreeger hitting jump-shot after iump-shot and Sol Wieder sweeping the boards the Mite's qualified for an unprecedented fifth straight play-off game in Madison Square Garden. In the other semi-final, RJJ defeated Brooklyn Yeshiva for the right to meet uptown in the Garden. The great thrill of a lifetime of playing in the Garden seemed to upset both teams, play was sloppy. Midway in the first period, however, Yeshiva picked up momentum and raced to a l4-5 quarter lead on Lou Korngold's fine shoot- ing. The taller Raiders closed the gap in the second quarter as Stu Harris hit four quick rebounds. Led by the fine two- handed set shooting of Al Blumenfeld, Yeshiva opened up a five point lead with but five minutes remaining. At this point, the Raiders caught fire and within four minutes sliced six points from the mites lead. With 50 seconds remaining, and trailing by 46-43 the Raiders recovered a loose ball a drive by Aussfresser went awry and Yeshiva was able to protect its lead for the remaining time. Special mention must be made of the fine defensive play of Weider and Kranes in holding Harris to but four points in the second half. Wiesel , i FIRST ROW: H. Resnick, S. Wieder, L. Kranes, D.

Larry was a member of the Jewish High School League All-Star team and also received honorable mention on the Post's All Prep School team. He received the award for the most Valuable Payer on this year's team. Sol Wieder was our leading scorer and playmaker. He was a fine floor man and a good rebounder. Sol performed brilliantly in the All Star game and aso received honorable mention in the Post. He is a very fine College prospect. Korngold won this year's award as the most improved player and his fine year-round play merited his receiving this award. His great speed and shooting ability earned him a spot on the All-Star team and on the Post's honorable mention. Al Blumenfeld was an all-round performer, rebounding, shooting and playing the middle zone on defense. His play in the Garden game, and in the latter part of the season's crucial games, was most instrumental in enabling us to have our fine season. 7 - One of the bright spots in TA s Basketball future is L Hank Resnick He has already shown that he is one of T A s J J great ballplayers A fine natural ballplayer and especially stfong on rebounding Hank proceeded to earn himsef a Y spot on the Posts All Prep starting five A- xi W , -0, I best. it KL, 1 SSI, lf, Nvfxss X iff, Y . f il , X x l - 1 1 ' ' 'E l l 's ,L ff iwylffl X - e I - W f y g I ,f I af l I' L T -5 , sf , , , -ei, ..

Its meetings were never in order due to the arguments, debates and filibusters of the political antagonists of the President. Although Mr. Lich- tenberg attempted to quell these numerous out- bursts, he was continuously hampered by the points of order of the budding politicians. The only thing that managed to restore order was the President's frequent eliminating of debate. The imaginative genius of our President was demon- strated by the many excuses he used to iustify his all too many political appointments. The only purpose served by the Student Council meetings was to give the students a chance to release their pent-up energy and to take out their anger on the Student Council officers instead of their de- fenseless teachers.
