SHALOM BRILLIANT With the last name most likely to be used in a punf' Shalom has weathered both students' and teach- ers' remarks for four years at Y.U.H.S. Greatly endowed with artistic ability, Shalom could be found doodling during any class Qalthough he favored ge- mara for this enterprisel, Shalom has been Art Editor of almost every publication in our school. Despite his objection to the Elclzyis theme, Shalom agreed to be Art Editor of the Elchanite. His fine work is an asset to our book Leven though it was always sub- mitted three weeks after the deadlinel. Shalom mastered his track technique running to catch the Bernstein-mobile every morning. His frequent failure to do so made his placement on the Track Team impossible. Shalom will continue his artistic endeavors as he studies commercial art or architecture at the college of his choice. .C'f'I N m':a'mJ nmbw 'pm min rn nibw 'nn ERIC BLITZ Although entering Yeshiva with only basic knowl- edge of Hebrew, Eric managed to excel in both Jewish and secular studies during his three-year stay. His scholarship and scholastic achievement were al- ways subjects of conversation among fellow-students and among even the most hard-hearted of his men- torsf' During his tenure as Literary Editor of the Compact he devoted much time and effort in helping to make that publication what it was. His support of and participation in such inter-scholastic and inter- mural activities as chess and checkers have been a factors in its consistent showing. Because of his desire to know more about man and the civilization he has built around him, Eric will major in the hu- manities at Brandeis. .CH 'bwm ny'r una' :wean

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

Q? 159' fa, JOSEPH BURGER Joey is one of the finest and most popular students ever to enter Y.U.H.S. His congenial manner led him to the post of vice-president of our G.O. In this capacity. Joey was a great crusader for more student participation in our school's extracurricular program. A very thoughtful student, Joey was a logical choice for Literary Editor of the Elchanite. Although Joey is not a communist, his five-year plan aroused much controversy among his classmates. His aversion to gemara teachers caused him to hotly rebuke a certain sophomore 'irebbef' to that teacher's shock. Joey's clear and fine voice has been a wel- come addition to many assemblies. He organized a singing group which became popular far and Wide. As a result of Joey's fine personality we are sure he will be successful as he prepares for a career in psy- chology at Queens College. 1: S771 vary: mv: 1:5 'ynum 'I1'H'f5'2 -nn: new .qzzffi nbnpp Dawn: nip'r'xn 'mini nba '73 by RAOUL CAPPELL A member of the Bronx contingent.
