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.

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.

SOLOMON BLUMENFELD Newark, N. J. This good looking trombone player from Newark arrived at Yeshiva, possessing all the attributes for a successful college life. Sol played on the basketball varsity for two years and then left the more active part of the sport for the exhortatory sidelines. As Com- mie ' s philosophic Sports Editor his words were keenly read for new trends in the Philosophy of Sport. Sol, after a brief love affair with Psych., settled down to a major in Biology and doing quite well, thank you. MORRIS A. COHEN Brooklyn, N. Y. This Chaim Berlin contribution to J.B., hiamevaser and Eranos is as productive as a soy bean. In fact, he has been a sec ' y-treas. of S.O.Y. Moish is an English major, and is also active on the business staffs of Masmid and Commie. An avid reader (of publications other than only Commie, Masmid and Hamevaser), he is a member of the Library staff. hHe wants to be a Rabbi, and is currently taking Lessons in Judaism. ABE DRAZIN Montreal, Canada A completely synthesized product, Abe found no conflict between managing the book store, being business manager of Commie, attend- ing Rabbi Burack ' s shiur and being an English major. A graduate of Canadian high schools, Abe learned to live in N.Y., influenced in the right direction by Jack Zuker and Joe Abelow. hHe expects to enter business and be a wealthy benefactor of Yeshiva U. BERNARD DUCOFF Union City, N. Y. Bernie found time during his senior year to major in English, take Ihree Goldberg courses, study for his final exams in T.L, teach out of town, be co-Literary Editor of Masmid, and to be engaged (a college course in itself). During his previous calmer years he wrote stories for the Jerome Robbins contest, debated for his class and the varsity, sent Commies to alumni and otherwise lounged around discussing the burning issues of Yeshiva life. Equipped with a teacher ' s diploma and a B.A., he hopes to enter the teaching field and study for the rabbinate with a dash of post-graduate Sociology.
