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

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.

MARt:US liRENNER This Spaniard has come a long way to Yeshiva and intends to go a long way after. Originally from Poland, Mark migrated to Peru, where he lived till he joined us in 1446. He attemled school in Peru, antl was a Hebrew teacher and vouth leader there lor many years. He was ollered a scholarship to YU, w hich he unhesitatingly accepted and philosophized about later. He also majored in History, and did secretarial work lor Dr. Bfody. He left his trade Mark on the Placement Bureau, w Inch he took over, and was otherwise active in La Tertulia. Aesthet- ically inclined but by no means ascetically inclined, he showed time and again that he knows his way around — the girls espe- cially. He intends to continue into the Yeshiva graduate school, go for Smicha, and, ultimately, become a college teacher. Well, he ' s had enough time to learn. BARRY BROWN A veteran of the Second World War, Barry found he was able to condition himself to Yeshiva life. Believing that united effort is always better than divided efTort, Barry joined with Danny Komsky to form the Brown-Komsky ' do or die, united we understand, divided we fail ' team. Ties may come and ties may go, but this tie remains as Young and fresh as ever. Barry has a car. Barry is also popular. They have however, been distracted by the charm of Dr. Fleisher, and they are majoring in English Literature. By a pact of mutual flattery, they have convinced each other that they can sing, and are in the TI Choir and the YL ' choral group. Incidentally. Barry owns a car. MAR ' IN BRUSSEL The possessor of a smile that can be ioldcd op n, Sprouts is Passaic ' s bundle of ambition. Marv left Passaic High School in his third year (there) to come to T.A and TL He entered Yeshiva. Overwhelmed by the smells of the Chem lab he majored in Chemistry. Four years later his rickety shape was still haunting the corner of the lab. (He was making up his incomplete in Chem 2.) After learning about moles and molars for four years, he thought he would do well in dentistry. He likes the legitimate theatre, cinema, good books, and science labs. He prefers blonds to brunettes (obviously the effect of chemistry). Alter carrying a heavy program in chemistry for four years, he now goes on to care for caries. 24
