BEN-ZION BERLIANT Ben-Zion is one of the most ardent Hebraists in the class of '64-. His interest in this language has led him from a summer in Camp Massad to a year as Editor-in-Chief of the Hatchiya. His liking for Hebrew is shown by his liking for anything lsraeli, especially singing and dancing. Ben was a fine asset to our Track Team and by his own admission was an ace camera- man for the Elchanite. Finding the T.l. program too rigorous, Ben switched to the comparative ease of T.A. Yet he still found he could not escape the smiling face and bare pate of Rabbi Gordon. De- spite these harships, Ben survived and will attend Yeshiva College where he will major in either physics or engineering. .QU D '5W73j VIN NSW' FIDDTI INN IW!! MICHAEL BIRK Mike's keen, inquisitive mind greatly aided him as he went through four years of hardships at Ye- shiva. His interest in math made him an able stand- ard-bearer for our school on our Math Team. He further lifted our school's image as an active mem- ber of our Soccer and Checker Teams. This proves Mikes versatility. He is equally at ease running across a soccer field or sitting in front of a checker board. He also took an interest in the Shapiro Library where he rose in the ranks to become Chief Librarian. ln this capacity Mike thwarted more would-be bor- rowers of our sacred tomes than any of his prede- cessors. We wish him luck as he pursues his studies at City College. .qzw nbnpp vp 'mx rmn :msn nwwy iv X ' xjix -51:43 7.

I ALBERT BELSKY Al. as the only representative of Holyoke, Mass- achusetts at Y.U.H.S., has carved his mark here with his ready wit and prolific pen. As a dorm boy with an imprisoned existence for four years, his mind always abounded with original and creative ideas. Al's great ability to write forced the Elchanite to accept his as Literary Editor. His only shortcoming in this post was his failure to understand or be informed of the Elchy's theme. Once this door was opened he proved a worthy member of the staff. An Explorer Scout, Al was able to survive three years of wilder- ness conditions at the dorm and two years of hard work under the '4Great Rabbif' We are sure he will succeed as he studies law at the college of his choice. .Hb nm: 'n pirvm JACK BENDHEIM An extremely versatile member of the senior class, lack has managed to get into almost everything go- ing on in our school. A natural-born money grabber, Jack put his talent to good use as Business Manager of the Elchanire. His love of tennis coupled with his ability as a player made him an obvious choice for captain of the Tennis Team. In his senior year, by a combination of sassiness, hard work and a little behind-the-scenes politics. ,lack was elected President of the G.O. We wish him the best of luck as he pursues his career of engineering at Yeshiva Uni- versity. .qnffbp nibnnp 'rmn nam: aww: nbgm

MOSES BIRNBAUM Often while walking throughout the hallowed halls of our school. one may hear a calm but argumentative voice explaining at great length to a teacher why and under what conditions that teacher or some stu- dent is wrong or right or neither. Most likely this voice will belong to Moses A. Birnbaum, celebrated orator and co-captain of our marvelous interscholastic Debating Team. Moe has also applied his talents to humor as Feature Editor of the Academy News and the Class of '64 and as a contributor to Depth, the defunct Y.U.H.S. humor magazine. Moses, with an eye to his forensic abilities, plans a career in either law, the rabbinate, or teaching history. Anyone who doubts his chances of success had better prepare to face a stiff debate. .01 maze npvnum :mo qu? vnxxn :ab i DONALD BLEICH Despite the opinions of our worthy administrators, Donny is one of the most law-abiding members of our class. An agile basketball player, Donny's Yeshiva career was thwarted temporarily by the untiring ef- in 109. His enthusiasm for of the first choices for the forts of Nthe little man Gemara made him one proposed Cemara Team. His rebbes have been un- able to bear the thought keen interest and ability of parting with him. Donny's in mathematics enabled him to qualify for a special calculus course given in the college. We know this will greatly assist him at NYU where he will prepare for a career as an actuary. .mx bzvrry mr: umm nyw firrm mann bs: nibvawn
