l i l ,.--1 llllllllll MOSHE BESSIN Moshe quietly spent four years in Yeshiva diligently pursuing his Hebrew studies. His achievements in this field are evidenced by his consistently high rank on the Hebrew honor roll and the high esteem in which he is held by the rabaim. Canada's only representative in Yeshiva, Moshe expresses his nationalistic feelings by actively sup- porting the Toronto Maple Leafs. His escapades at camp during the summer were the source of much amusing con- versation during the school year. That Moishe's interests include topics of a more serious nature is evident in his ardent belief in Zionism. He plans to attend Bar Ilan Uni- versity after spending a year in the Hachshara program of Bnei Akiva.

FRANK BRUECKHEIMER Unfailing neatness and remarkable eiiiciency are Frank's distinguishing characteristics. Industrious both in and out of school, he was able to compile one of the highest averages in T.I. Impeccably honest, Frank did much to prevent the debasement of the ideals of the Awards Com- mittee. In his secular studies, Frank did particularly well in his math and science courses. Meier is one of the few boys in the high school to give Rabbi Suna the credit he deserves. His desire to continue his Jewish studies has led him to select Yeshiva College as the next stop on his educational journey. EPHPAIM BUCHWALD A lover of Tanach and the Hebrew language, Effy became a staunch supporter of T.I. after switching from the Talmud Department early in his high school career. Ephraim also feels strongly about the matter of students' rights and has been known to express his opinion forcibly in word and deed. He showed his interest in student affairs by serving on the student council and as chairman of the Student Affairs Committee. ln his studies, Ephraim showed marked scientific aptitude, excelling in chemistry and phy- sics. He will major in the former field at either Yeshiva College or City College. True to his Zionistic principles, he hopes to make his future home in Israel.
