HEIFETZ, HYMAN Brooklyn, New York Although he is the youngest member of the senior class, Chaim has seen a great deal of Olam Hazeh. The problem of Tov Varah, how- ever, has as yet eluded his grasp. Despite the heavy Yeshiva program, he has managed to find time to share the literary editorship of the Masmid. Already famous for excluding himself from the ranks of the aphilosophical, non-think- ing entities he has also shown his prowess in the field of mathematics. Convinced that re- ligious Judaism can withstand the onslaught of modern philosophies by vigorously asserting it- self—apologetics thrust into the background— he intends to enter the Rabbinate. HELLER, PHILIP New York, New York A quiet chap who did no harm to anyone, Feival is an unhistorical-minded History ma- jor. An avid follower of all sports, Feival can quote at length all the necessary statistics so dear to the hearts of the passive sports fan. His claim to fame lies in the fact that he is one of the few Seniors who never applied for a dormi- tory room. A taciturn individual with a quiet de- meanor, Phil ' s name on the attendance roll has always succeeded in mystifying his professors when grade marking time rolled around. His future plans call for a career in business. HERSKOWITZ. WILLIAM Brooklyn, New York Throughout his school career, Billy worked hard on Commentator . After holding the po- sition oi Editor-in-chief, he saw that that post didn ' t afford him an opportunity for advance- ment; therefore he requested a diploma. He is a Psychology-Social Work major and intends doing graduate work in these fields. An A student, Herskowitz spent most of his time with Professors Abraham Hurwitz, Alexander Litman, and Abraham Luchins. 24

GOLDSTEIN, NOAH New York, New York Nayech is an artist of repute and a notor- ious mimic. During his four year stay at the col- lege, he has been fed on an exclusive diet of Jung articulate uh uh— matzoh balls. He has, however, managed to keep in shape by attend- ing the Minyan consecutively for one day after each pep talk from Rabbi Lifschitz. Baruch Hashem , Beli Neder , he will— Beezrat Ha- shem — become an integral part of the American Rabbinate. GROSS. MURRAY Brooklyn, New York With a jovial, good-natured gleam in his eyes, end a bright smile radiating from his cheeks, Murray overcame the gloom of four years of history with Dr. Brody and is now look- ing forward to a happy tentative future. During his college years, full of mirth, frolic, and inimit- able queries, Murray has stored up enough ex- perience working as a cub-reporter for Commie, retailer in Coop, racket-wielder on the tennis team, and job-seeker on the employment com- mittee, to join the army of the fortunate ones who are marching onward toward their ambitious destiny— Salvation. HEIFETZ, CHAYIM South River, New Jersey Napoleonically built Chaim came to conquer Yeshiva University by way of Mesiftah Tifereth Jerusalem and Telze Yeshiva in Cleveland. One of the class favorites and interested in school activities, he could always be found in one of the offices of the Flambeau, the Com- mentator, or the Library. Particularly interested in languages, major- ing in French, and an avid Talmud student, Chaim sees his future in Palestine. He plans to broaden his knowledge and perspective by studying abroad under the auspices of the Joint Distribution Committee, thus preparing himself to go to Palestine and help build our homeland 23

H03CHANDER, HENRY Brooklyn, New York Henry acquired a love for the Rishonim while only a stripling in the Yeshivos Toras Emeth and Rabbi Jacob Joseph. Upon his merger with Rabbi Lifshitz ' class, this passion developed almost into an obsession. He now studies Ri- shonim with the Talmud as a commentary. He even has a rishonal approach to life. He chose Mathematics as his major to help him keep count of the number of shurim he has attended in the room on which he holds a three year ten- ure claim. When depressed, he consoles him- self by singing the Yeshiva students national anthem called Matarah whose first stanza be- gins with the words Min hashiur el haklaff. HYATT, ISADORE Philadelphia, Pa. Lefty served as Managing Editor of the Masmid and right arm to Paul Peyser. An excel- lent judge of his fellow man, Iz misleads people as to his insightful powers by the subconscious use of a vacant expression which usually em- bellishes his handsome countenance. Popular Senior class Prexy, supervisor of Doc Hur- witz ' s gym. and member of the Yeshiva Varsity, Iz has managed to light up the eyes of his nu- merous blind dates . Possessed of a contagious smile and lyrical voice, he also had enough time to attend Dr. Luchin ' s informal seminars on Psy- chology. His future plans call for graduate school and business. JERENBERG, NORMAN Brooklyn, New York An industrious and brilliant student, major- ing in French and History, and an excellent Tal- mud student, to be sure, Jerry, as he is popularly known, is the class dynamo. His self-generating power is driving him to- wards the Rabbinate and leadership in the Jew- ish community, where his energies are greatly needed. A Gestaltist at heart, he believes life should be seen from a who le, especially in the Gym, where he spends his leisure hours releasing ex- cess energy playing handball, keeping Iz Hyatt company, or laughing at Bushy ' s jokes. 25
