4 V N X CLASS HISTDRY WLn Do Dl, S essions oj- weet S ilent kouaki -J l4p .... l emembi of t kin ad adt. iimmon em embra n ce Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Thi s is your announcer Harvey Millard speaking to you from the main ballroom of the twenty-five million dollar RIETS Hall atop the administration building of Yeshiva University. There are some very odd fifty thousand people here tonight who have come to pay homage plus tax to the class of ' 45. By virtue of distinguishing themselves in all fields of human and supra human endeavor, these men are being feted here this evening as a sign that the University is publicly recognizing their contributions to society as well as to the rabbinate. The men of ' 45 never having come together before this evening for a class reunion, it shall be both sublimely and ridiculously interesting to behold what the creeping up of age and the sneaking up of marriage has done for and to these gen- tlemen. While we are waiting for the honored class to enter the celebrity studded hall, I should like to take a few hours to list some of the more distinguished lights who have lent their glow to this evening ' s festivities. To my right I see the star of stage, screen and television. Miss Margaret O ' Brien on the arm of Professor Alexander Brody, head of the archaeology depart- ment at Yeshiva. A young freshman is vainly trying to get the fair maiden off the professor ' s hands but the latter is telling him off in some well chosen poker-dot expressions. On my left I have just noticed Sir Aaron Margalith, librarian of Congress, who once occupied the Political Science bench at Yeshiva. Sir Aaron is playing host to Miss Librarian .of 1955 — a slightly bookish damsel whom the judges were able to tell by her cover. Aha, and a little more to my left, I have just espied Dr. Irving Linn, professor of history of U.S.A. The doctor, whose courses are a must for any one wishing to learn the facts of other people ' s lives, is clad in a brown plaid sport jacket, brown gabardine shorts and just to be ' formal ' he is wearing a pair of black patent leather pumps. With his high starched skull cap upon his head, the learned instructor could easily be mistaken for one of the typical uh . . . Yeshiva . . . uh . . . men. Txcenty-eight
