The Seniors had only two rehearsals and five directors. Beryl Rosenzweig made his debut under the lights. Klein judged in true hloliywood fashion.

On that eventful day, Bernard Baruch and Earl G. Har- rison received degrees with thirty-eight new Yeshiva bachelors. The thirty-ninth Stan Kessler was nuptially indoctrinated two nights before and the fortieth, Meyer Blech, donned a shaitel ' a week before. On June 22nd, Dr. Belkin held a reception for us. On June 23rd, we attended one for him. The great day finally came — we heard speeches about our responsibility as future Jewish leaders. Finally, the great moment arrives — we switch our tassels . . . We are now graduates of Yeshiva College! Thirty
