PHILIP ARIAN This short of the loiij; aiul shtirt ol Vcshi :i tiraniaiics liails from the city of brotherly love and has Ik-cii phiiuiiii; the seeds of ' love your fellow Shomeret like yourself in Yeshiva. Shragai is as concentrated a form of dramatic hitlahavut as there is to be found. Always seen on Class Nitc and Chagiga stages, Phil is otherwise mistaken for an approaching storm or a barrel rolling in the halls. The coryphaeus of the Tl-Hebraic |c ish philosophy, Phil is responsible for the Yeshiva sluiients ' awareness of TI. He is the father ol the Daber ivrit and Zionist Action campaign in Yeshiva. He was also one of the notorious 207-mates. Phil has had his impact felt in classes which he sometimes attends. His ambition is to put on class nite plays in Hebrew. SEYMOUR ARONSON With summa-thing to boast about, this New Britisher from Conn, observed the four years pass Irom his vantage point in the southeast corner of the Chem lab. His curricular activities were a silent career of assiduous brilliance. However, extra- curricularly, he might be heard letting a weight drop, raising a racket on the tennis coait or dribbling under his breath. He was chairman of the Chem Club and literary editor of Nir, TI undergraduate publication. His plans are graduate school in chemistry and making a Levin-g as a chemist or a chemical engineer. ZVI BAJTNER Zvi has lived a life of pioneering, which he intends to continue after graduation. He came to Peru Irom Poland, still in his youth, and later became active in Jewish youth activities in Lima. He helped to lay the foundations of the only Hebrew school in Peru, and worked in the Spanish-Jewish press, where he learned of Yeshiva. He is the pioneer of the South American students attending Yeshiva. Originally a Y ' eshiva Bochur, he transferred to TI, and was graduated two years later, hut not before becoming president of the TI student council. He majored in History. Due to the tradition of the Latin lover, impatient of bachelordom, he became engaged and shortly thereafter married. He was head of the Spanish Club and editor of their publication. He also Chugged in Ivrit. He hopes io continue as a Hebrew teacher after graduation, and dreams about Israel.

This psychology major, in scientific pursuit of his soul, is reported to have been seduced by the black magic of science laboratories and the speculation of mathematical philosophers. )akc came from Hartford, Conn, to New York, to TA and then to Ycshiva. As a psychology major he became an apostle of Dr. Luchins and an apostate of Dr. Litman. Seeing Ycshiva as a good source of material for psychological experimentation, he proceeded to set up his laboratory in one of the new build- ings, where he would invite all kinds of guests to undergo his experiments. Believing that the source of all philosophical evils is words, words, words, he joined the circle of logical positiv- ists, philosophical negativists and semantical nihilists associated with the Math Club and has spurned salvation ever since. He plans graduate school in psychology and research in experimental psych. ROBEllT BL.VU Little boy Hlaii came to Ycshiva to blow his horn. A sheepskin is his motto. Possessor of a stare that matches well with a sense of humor, Bobby is well known around town (Boro Park, that is). Bob originally intended to major in Psychology, until Psychology was cut out as a major. Bob, psychologically frus- trated, decided to major in History. In the Yeshiva, no one stopped him from majoring in Talniud. Rabbi Shatzkes guides his elTorts. Except for skipping clas.ses, he has a reputation as a good dancer. Bob might go into the Rabbinate. We are sure that whatever he aims for he ' ll win. Blau, Rlau. thou winner win. 23
