JOSEPH i-EDER Usually to be found doing Chemistry in the Bais Mcdrash or his room and giving Mussar on the tennis courts, Joe saw only two years of college life at Yeshiva. This might explain it all. loe comes from Brooklyn, goes to Brooklyn and spends some of his time in Yeshiva antl in the dormitory. Assistant .Vlash- giach and professional Mussarboy, he is one of those saner ones who doesn ' t talk to himself, although he ought to. Extra- curricularly he kept his eyes and ears ojien on audio-visual work and was busy on the tennis courts. He hopes to continue learn- ing and go to graduate school, and, ultimately, to do chemistry work in Israel. WILLIAM FERTIG Silent Bill lilushtd his way through Dr. Fleisher ' s literature courses. An ex-TA-er hailing from California, Bill decided to major in English when certain professors in that department would refer to him as WilliaM. This appealed to his sense ol manners. Honest Bill s (rank and innocent questions have embarrassed more people than himself. His search for Class landed him up the Greek. He is an active member of Eranos. His persistent political ventures convinced him that the scholar ' s place is not in politics. Instead he mixes in polite company, and is polite in mixed company. He is somewhat un- certain about his ambitions, although he ' s sure he has them. Well, Fertiir, now ist fertig.

SOL COHEN Close investigation has shown that Sol ' s true sympathies lie with his brother Israelites, notwithstanding his enthusiastic study of Arabic and Arabic culture, and his strong feelings for the Stern gang. Usually to be found learning CJemara from an Arabic dictionary, Shloymies ambition of becoming a Semitic scholar might get him Smicha, which he is interested in anyway. Sol hails from East New York, where he attended Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin and Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim. In the college he majored in languages, with a particular crush on Semitic languages. He Irec ucntly amuses himself by talking to others in Arabic, and amuses others. He hopes eventually to settle in Israel, and it is reported that he will begin studying Hebrew when he trets there. HOWARD DANZlCi . sometime official of Masmid, Howie was generally to be found playing on the Basketball Team (which he captained), or else telling someone about it. Curly came from way out in Tucson, Arizona, to our own dear Yeshiva, and has been con- valescing ever since. The Minnie half of the Mickey-Minnie team, Howie has nibbled some crumbs from Dr. Brody at some odd intervals during his stay here. Without ever really going through any trouble he managed to scrape himself some- thing of an education, but he got into other scrapes. As captain of the Basketball Team, others have seen to it that he, too, plays with the team. His plans for the future? He has any. ' SAMUEL DYEN With a name like his, no wonder Dyen impressed the professors as he did! Hailing from across the street from the Yeshiva, Sammy came to Yeshiva College through TA to receive an edu- cation and go out into the world. Across the street seems to be as far as he got. Sammy is athletically inclined, and was an ace man on the Basketball Team. A dead shot is Dyen. Sammy majored in History and attended most of his classes, particularly in Phys. Ed. He spent his time in class Broodyng over his shooting. It is believed he intenils to continue. . . 26

JACOB FISZMAN Shanghaied Irom liis birthplace in Polaiul, lacoh canu ' to Amer- ica anil lo Ycshiva lor Orientation ia C ' hina. This silent, pleasant chap has matle friends with everybody, including his chemistry professors. He majored in Chemistry, and in his senior year served as a lab assistant, where dishwashing chores kept him busy. He was active in the Chemistry Club ami the undergradua te pre-medical society. He intends going to a medical school upon graduating. SANFORD FRANK Guardian protector and great uncle to Prospective-Yeshiva- Collcge-Students-in-Training, Sanford has worked his way into the Sanctum Franktorum of the dormitory committee. He was born and lived most of his life in Cleveland. He Tels of a very uneventful life there until h came to Yeshiva, where, as he Tels, his life becomes more eventful. He was on the Clearing House of the college, in the French Club, on the editorial stafl ' of Masmid, and on the Mail Committee. He was active in SOY, where he was Secretary-Treasurer and Assistant Gabbai. In the college he majored in History and considers continuing into graduate school. He also considers the Rabbinate. The Yeshiva holds a great tuture for him. WILLIAM MORDECAI FRANls. Long acknowledged as the class ' s leading intellect. Modest William has always regarded the routine of classes and the tedium of academic discipline as mere means to the end of procuring a degree. Born in Brooklyn (it is su.spected that Williamsburgh is named in his honor), Willie entered YU after a few odd years of secondary education here and there, and immediately gravitated to the Math department. The corresponding section of the library proved that the attraction was mutual by gravitating right back. Variegated interests and an omnivorous capacity for assimilation have aided our all- around-genius in the pursuit of studies in Math, Physics, Math Club, Hebrew, Math Club, Literature, Comparative Philology, Philosophy, Abnormal Psychology, Talmud, Theosophy, Music, Necromancy, Photosynthesis, and related subjects. Meester Fronk is headed for a full-time research position in mathematics. 28
