SEYMOUR HABER New York, N. Y. One of our geniuses In the Mafh. dept., Seymour is headed for great numbers. Vice President and lecturer of the active Math. Club he also participated in extra-mural debating and was an official mem- ber of the college Debating team (So they didn ' t have any debates on math). His majors were Math and Chemistry and being a T.I. boy he hopes to teach Math in Israel. DAVID HALPERN Brooklyn, N. Y. Dave, better known as Doody, migrated here from the Bedford Avenue Seminary. Having excelled in History, his major, he hopes to incorporate same and a graduate course into his well-planned rabbini- cal future.

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.
