MEYER KORBMAN Newark, N. J. Our own Mike, with the captivating smile and bubbling wit has endeared himself to all and sundry. After two years in the M.P.I, branch of the Army, he came to Yeshiva College where he majored in Shakespeare and Political Science. As chairman of the Placement Service he placed and served many of us. He was also President of the Dramatics Society and a member of the French Club. Mike is now attending Yeshiva University Graduate School and expects to teach English in the foreign land of New Jersey. NORMAN LAMM Brooklyn, N. Y. Norm is Torah Vodaath ' s contribution to JIB! and Chemistry. With a background of high marks, mediocre Hebrew, poetry and two awards — Talmud and Junior class scholarship — he has become a Lit- erary Editor of this Masmid and vice-president of the senior class. He is a traditional opponent, dating from his soph year, of Dramatics and most of Commentator ' s policies. However, this does not exclude all extra-curricular activities. Norm wrote articles for Flambeau, for Masmid (3 years) and for the Science publication and was traditional Hebrew poet for the Yeshiva Chagigas. Whether in the chem labs or on Bedford Ave., however, his Moustache is a hopeless case. LEO LANDMAN New York, N. Y. Leo is R.J.J. ' s contribution to the Math department and J.B. These excellent conditions have enabled this taciturn masmid to drei mit dem gruben finger with mathematical precision. As a result, he is bein hashmashos, no longer a bochur, not yet a mentch — he was engaged to a wonderful young lady in his senior year. Mazel Tov, Leo, to you and your Rebbitzen.
