CLASS OFFICERS CY SHAVRICK PRESIDENT NORMAN LAMM VICE-PRESIDENT Our sages tell us, ncyon Nt N np ' V cmon sy. Constanily guided by this basic credo, we of the class of ' 49 have brought our plans to fruition. We inaugurated the year with our Senior-Fresh- man Smoker . This gala affair, elaborately planned, was a tremendous success, and before long our some- what bewildered freshmen were put at ease and properly oriented into our renowned institution. Outstanding senior talent was displayed in making this a most enjoyable evening for all. Then followed our Senior-Faculty Mixer. This affair, conducted in a close and informal manner, brought about a harmonious union of student and professor — a unity vital in creating healthy and happy school relationships. Our culminating affair was the Senior banquet which preceded the Commencement exercises. Amidst an air of sentimentality and serenity, we gathered together with our family and friends to celebrate the completion of our college careers at Yeshiva University. Dr. Belkin honored us with his presence; and with him were other distinguished per- sonalities. In addition, our class has actively participated in all phases of Intramural activities. When we were freshmen, the then senior class wrote about us in the Masmid that we were a disgustingly average class . We beg to differ. Our record of four years of active participation in schol- astic and extra-curricular activities proves that we are far above average. In conclusion, let me take this occasion to person- ally thank every one of my classmates for their ex- cellent cooperation and to wish them nnS ' n in all their future endeavors.

i tf 5 ♦ ft f f . f f f t t .f,f t. ' ♦ f • t- Four years ago, one sunny morn, A Lower Freshman Class was born. A human birth ' s a time for celebration Except in this one field of Education : The coming of a child brings joy effusive; The entry of a class is unobtrusive. A year of college slowly passed And they were Sophomores at last. Survivors of a College Generation They viewed the future with anticipation: In only three more years, by computation. They ' d reach the cherished goal of Graduation. As Juniors, half their race was run ; A few terms more and they ' d be done! And here our class splits into sev ' ral sections According to its members ' predilections: Each student entering, with great elation. Into his special Field of Concentration. As Seniors, next, they basked in glory; We ' re near the ending of our story. Our heroes now regain their solidarity. For suddenly they realize the disparity Between the common, lower-class collegians And Senior dwellers in the Upper Regions. The peak at last: the final line — And now — THE CLASS OF ' 49! ! !

ARTHUR ABRAMSON Newark, N. J. Artie was one of the few Broun maiors In school. Also a veteran, Mike Korbman and he are as close as that! Artie worked hard at his French and was editor of Le Flambeau. Graduated In January, he Is attending Graduate School, studying education. Mike and he will probably end up teaching in the same school and even the same language: Mike ' s English sounding like Artie ' s French and Artie ' s French sounding like Mike ' s English. JACK ALSTER Brooklyn, N. Y. This volatile chemistry major is known about the office of Yeshlva. Having spent one year at City College, he was thankful to return to Yeshiva College, and can now be seen constantly in the laboratory. Jack attended T.A. and T.I. He also reported for the Commie. He hopes to enter the field of physical chemistry. MILTON AUGENSTEIN Philadelphia, Pa. Melech is the senior who is most popular for his outstanding feat of a triple-catch: one wife and two kids. Pappa Melech certainly Is leaving college with more than he had when he came in. His remark- able metamorphosis from bochur to chassan to man to tateh has not, however, detracted from his general amiability and friendli- ness. The class chassid hopes to get his smicha in the very near future, and all his classmates join in wishing him, his wife and his two little Augenstelns a happy and successful future. DONALD J. BERGER Bronx, N. Y. Donald Is one of our more studious graduates. He attended T.A. and has completed his studies in the Teachers Institute. A math major, he is also somewhat of an electrician, painter, carpenter and lock- smith. In short he embraces both the abstract and the concrete. Donald Is now teaching Hebrew and plans to study Math and teach it.
