D155 DD AL BLUMENFELD AI Blumenfeld has combined a variety of interests. He has been an active mem- ber of T.A.'s Interscholastic Basketball team for six terms. He has also been a member of the Guidance committee ot the S.O.Y. Al is considered T.A.'s gift to the laclies. His interest in the fair sex led him to study French, and his subse- quent interest in French led to his inter- est in one particular member of the fair sex. He is also one of the more energetic members of our class, spending many hours after school teaching Hebrew to students who need his help. While breez- ing through T.A., Al has managed to make many friends.

A fol- lower ot the Grietzerian school ot thought, Abie discovered Brot's constant fextensively used in Neo-Brotian Geom- etryl, and was one of the isolators ot Finagle's Formula. He has become fam- ous with his invention ot the portable fade-away gyp sheet, now used exten- sively in T.I. finals. Seriously though, Abie has an interest in, and an aptitude tor the Sciences. He has done a great deal of work in optics and photography. Abe is a quiet but attable fellow. The success of one possessing so scientific a turn of mind in the field of Engineering is, we think, assured.

Perry Eck has taken a great deal ot kidding. But his easygoing manner has enabled him to take this good natured ribbing very casually. ln his quiet way he has left his mark on his classmates and teachers. Perry was one ot the more important members ot Dr. Reguer's Hebrew class, his humorous comments having helped awaken many a dozing student. 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. We are sure his Pre- scriptions given together with a dose ot laughter will revive many a patient and make him a very successful doctor.

-.af HAROLD BARON Name any extra-curricular activity in T.A. and chances are 20 to 'I that Harold Baron has participated in it, and prob- ably has been its leader. President of the Senior class, Hal is quick to speak out against iniustice in any form and his views have frequently altered the at- titude of the Administration. 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. Having put his mind to many things and done them all so well, we are sure he will be successful in his study of Engineering.

Ledger, Associate Literary Editor of ELCHANITE, Student Council, Literary Editor of Scientific, Checker, Debating and Math Intramurals, Committees RICHARD BARTH Richard Barth is the complete antithesis of the popular picture of modern adole- scence, accompanied by general imbe- cility, a form of St. Vitus dance CRock and Rollj, and a touch of juvenile delin- quency. ln fact Dick is one of the finest people we have met at T.A. 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 has been very active in the Dorm where he was Gabbai, and un- official counsellor of the first floor. Dick plans to attend Y.U. where we are sure he will succeed in whatever field he will enter.

He puts in long hours as Editor of the Academy News, and more than once has had to defend the rights of the Academy News to voice the opinions of the student body. He takes an active Isome say an over active i part in G.O. activities. He was Vice- President of that organization for one term and is a member of the Arista. Nor do Meyer's extra-curricular activities obscure his interest in academic ones. He is a Hyperactive student of the Yeshiva. In fact, he enioys learning Talmud so much and is so inspired by its ideals that he plans to study for the Rabbinate at Yeshiva University. Meyer will be, we are sure, one of the more dynamic of this generation's Rabbis. Editor-in-Chief Academy News, Vice-President G.O., Arista, Junior Editor T.A.

MARSHALL ElSENSTElN Marshall Eisenstein is one of the quietest and nicest people at T.A. He is one of the most patient, friendly and sincere fel- lows we have met. His guiding credo might well be: Anger Rests in the Bosom of Fools. Ever since he entered the Yeshiva three years ago, Marsh has pursued the vast knowledge of the Tal- mud. He plans to continue his study of the Tclmud at the Meir Yeshiva, where he hopes to get Smicha. Although we are sure that Marsh will make many friends in this world, we are equally certain that he will meet very few people as innately good as he himself is.

Dave understands people and still likes them. Always ready with a smile, Dave has made the Dorm a more enioyable place just by being part of it. His main interests out of school are Ping Pong and Bowling. He can often be seen indulging in these activities during his free time. As one of the perpetual headaches of the Administration, Dave has been a great icy to our class. Dave plans to study Sociology at Yeshiva University. We are certain he will make as many friends at Y.U. as he has at T.A. Circulation Manager T.A. Ledger, Intramurals, life-Saving Club Yl..Y, . 'HIYlft H .- .7 , in MARTIN EPSTEIN Hillside, New Jersey's gift to T.A., Mar- tin Epstein avoids taking life too seri- ously. During off-hours Q9 A.M. through 6 P.M. Sunday through Thursdayj Marty may be found lounging at Sid and George's discussing everything under the sun. Marty's amiable personality has earned him many friends during his stay at T.A. lt was during his stay in Rabbi Katz's Shiur that Marty learned not to take teachers names too literally. Doc Harwell's Chemistry class was also one of Eppie's favorites. His friendship with the niece of one of our favorite teach- ers helped him to successfully pass the course. Marty's friendly disposition will be a great asset to him in the Business world that he plans to enter.
