KAHANE, DAVID Brooklyn, New York An excellent Talmudist, Dave also finds time to cultivate his interest in classical literature. Stemming from a family of distinguished Rab- bis, Dave expects to carry on the family tradi- tion. He has already manifested his brilliant talents in this direction by the reputation he has established as a sincere and inspired orator. KALLNER, THEODORE Philadephia, Pennsylvania An excellent Physics major, Teddy was recently appointed as a Lab. Assist, in Dr. Lo- wan ' s Physics laboratory. Teddy could al- ways be found monkeying around with some mysterious looking entity in any of the science labs. His primary hobby is playing around with logical mathematical paradoxes when not taking an active part in the current bull ses- sion . He served as Ass. Editor of the Masmid, member of the Debating team, and involved himself in various non-physical extra-curricular activities. A giant of a man, with at least a 14 karat gold-plated heart, Teddy ' s plans are to create an entire new dormitory from the con- verted energy of one of Stern ' s microscopic KAMBER, ALVIN Brooklyn, New York Al ' s main problem is increasing the amount of working hours during the day. A student of the Teacher ' s Institute, he finds that dividing his time between school work and his duties as T.I. President, Editor of the Nir, and Editor of the Lapid, doesn ' t leave much time in the twenty four hour day. A product of Yeshivath Rabbi Jacob Joseph and eight years of the Yeshiva, he plans to study in the field of Hebrew teaching and social work, especially organizing youth organizations. Alvin can always be found on the third floor with Abe and Sam typing out stencils, planning Chagigas, and atteding T.I. classes. 26

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

KANTROWITZ, WILLIAM Brooklyn, New York Velvel, as he is known to those who really love him, is another of those Political Science students who realizes the economic foundations of modern society. An ardent and hard worker in all his extra-curricular activities, Willie ful- filled his obligations as Circulation Manager and Business Manager of the Commie with honors. These arduous duties did not keep him from active participation in the French and In- ternational Relations Society. Willie ' s ambition is to settle down with his one and only and run a business of his own. Our guess is that if he does half as well for himself as he did for Commie , Rockefeller and Ford (the living ones, that is) had better move over. KELLMAN, JOSEPH Toronto, Canada Joseph H. Kellman, the H representing His- tory, has also Hitch Hiked his nebulous way from Toronto, Canada into Dr. Brody ' s inner sanctum. During his extended stay within Yesh- iva portals, he has been known by the pseudo- nym of Red . With this popular nick name he undertook the unpopular sports of ping-pong, hockey, and occasionally, baseball. Because of his strong attachment to fiction, he unreservedly believes in expansion and expects to open up a branch of Y.U. in Toronto, providing there- in a post for himself as Professor of History. LAVA, MARTIN Brooklyn, New York Marty, in his intellectual, embryonic stage, was nurtured in the granaries of Yeshiva To- rah Vodaath and Talmudical Academy. For a number of years he was an influential member on the planning committee of the Lavasohn Ya- godakom Hiking Society until its dissolution two years ago. Marty is an outstanding ex- ample of fine synthetic blending. A Political Science major, his plans for the future include the Rabbinate and some business undertaking. He is now secretly advertising for a partner who will contribute a share of capital and scientific experience toward the development of a super ash tray manufacturing enterprise to help al- leviate the discomforts of inveterate smokers. 27
