YOSEF BASKIN Yosi, a truly creative person. is a rarity among Yeshiva boys. His fine sense of design and taste have made him an outstanding art editor of the Hatchiya and The Elchanite. Despite his height, that cute little fellow in the corner, has not always seen eye to eye with a certain Hebrew administra- tor. Nevertheless, the same ingenuity which won him the high- est mark on the MAA exam has always bailed him out of his ditliculties with the aforementioned personality. Yosi, an active Bnei Akivanik, also enjoys Israeli folk dancing. He plans to utilize his art and math in the study of architecture at Pratt Institute. .Qs invywzp n: qw? im: Sus... --... ISRAEL BECKER Seldom seen without a sefer in hand, Israel is one of our most conscientious students. He proved himself so thor- oughly devoted to Torah, that he sometimes had to be reminded by Rabbi Scheinberg to smile. However, during French class Izzy had cause to look grim. Here, he was pitted single- handedly against Rabbi Dulitz in his valiant struggle to re- write the French language. Apart from his studies, Izzy was a member of our Soccer Team and Canvassing Committee With the ultimate goal of strengthening Torah and Yiddishkeit, Israel will continue at Yeshiva College and work towards Semicha. .gnu 'bwm :mo 1'7i'IJ' nwrnn 'five

HARRY BAJNON Combining high academic achievement with athletic excel- lence and a warm outgong personality, Harry quickly endeared himself to the student body at Y.U.H.S. An accomplished student, Baj was a member of the advanced math class for four years and was elected to Arista'in his junior year. Put- ting his .athletic prowess to good use, he was a member of the Basketball and Baseball Teams and captain of the Bowling Team. Harry was especially noted for his proficiency in Tal- mud although occasionally he got bailed upi' while learning on Thursday nights. We wish him only the best in his pursuit of a career in medicine at Yeshiva. .qua ,n vbwm nn: auxin: mann SAMUEL BAKER Sam, a conscientious and serious-minded student, came to our school from Bexley Junior High School in Ohio just look- ing for trouble. Armed with a bottle of tranquilizers, he took every available elective plus Latin. He also voluntarily trans- ferred into Mr. Shapiro's and Rabbi Dulitz's English classes. When not busy satisfying his mad suicidal tendencies, Sam worked on the G.O. Awards Committee and on our Dorm Council. A master of his favorite subject, history, Samuel also made dorm history with his unparalleled minyan attendance record. His quiet, reserved manner, which marks him as a truly fine individual, will serve him well as he prepares for a career in law at either Capital University or Ohio State Uni- versity. .qn ,zz 'nximzrp '-r un nx mum 'mvnwi

ivqvgrw-+w? T1 Leslies wonderfully warm and affable personality have endeared him to all his classmates. Although an ardent sports enthusiast Les let nothing interfere with his studies, and has compiled a high average by dint of hard work. But, in keeping w1tl1 modern educational theory, he believes in time for play too and spends his Fridays on the courts or in the pool of a neighboring YMHA When back in class he nourishes a fondness for math by being one of the few who regularly stay for Mr Schwartz math class. Les, nevertheless, plans to be- come a lawyer and We wish him the success he is sure to have as he continues his education at City College. .ob nibnm nnzzrm nm! :mx ALLEN BENNET Allen is eflervescent and energetic in all his activities- from Talmud to handball, soccer, and baseball. This year he has transferred his zeal to his job as chief oiiice and tie boy. He also finds time for such intellectual diversions as chess, philately, and chazanut. He should be quite proficient at the latter, for no one ever has trouble hearing Allen, and our hallowed halls are constantly being further sanctified by the reverberations of his penetrating laugh. Despite his nickname as shor, Allen has never seemed inert or glum, even in class, for he is determined to grin and bear it -even through another four years at Y.U., where he will combine learning with pre-med studies. - .01 :WND TXZITIJT DWUJ 'NNW QQ,
