MAX FRANKEL Bronx, N. Y. One of our peace loving Commie editors, Max has maintained Commie ' s high standard. He attended T.A. and expects to have graduated from Teachers Institute by the time you read this. He was a member of the Placement Bureau of the University, and of the Faculty-Students Relations Committee. Max was a delight in the Junior class night performance and on Alumni Day. A History major, he probably will be a Hebrew teacher and would like to enter the field of journalism. Asa 1 DENNY SELLER New York, N. Y. Denny was the first one to prove that Dr. Luchin s Einstellung test is all wet. The test showed that he wasn ' t rigid at all; but, Denny, in direct contrast to the results of the exam has developed a rigid schedule in relation to wasteful Saturday evenings — one call to the Bronx every three weeks, one to Brooklyn also every third week, and free lance with Mr. Week-In-between. As vice president of the Stu- dent Council he did a tremendous amount of work and was trapped into attending two S.C. meetings, one of them by chance — as it was held in his buddy Sam Slaser ' s room upon whose bed he was passing his favorite pastime. Denny captained the basketball squad through a highly satisfying season and the cute one remained the team player throughout the season. Denny hopes to continue what he has been doing all along and remain just one great guy. SAMUEL Z. SLASER Brooklyn, N. Y. Sam could well be labeled as The Most Active President of Yeshiva College. Introducing concerts, dramatic shows, research journals, Sam set the school afire with his enthusiasm and encouragement of activities like: audio-visual shows, fireside chats, etc. One of Dr. Lu- chin ' s best students and still normal, Sam worked on several projects with him. He also minored in philosophy but was one of Dr. LItman ' s major keys. Sam burst upon us in his Junior year as president of his class and chairman of the Zionist Actions Committee. His future: guidance, both psychological and spiritual, especially of Denny Geller. JOSEPH J. GOLD Bedford Ave., USA A major In Math, and a minor in many things, Yussel regards as his greatest assets his active membership in the Math Club, editorship of the Physics section of the Science Publication, contributions t o Le Flambeau, loftier ambitions than the Rabbinate, big words and Mot- tel Lava. Joe is recognized by his friends as a great intellectual. In addition, he is a J.B.er with his Rebbl ' s disdain for convention.

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.
