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

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.

Werner spent his early days in Strasbourg and Paris, nnlil he mo ved to Canada. Canada provided his schooling through his second year at McCill University, when he came to Ycshiva. At Yeshiva he majored in Psychology, with vague ideas of using it some day. A |X)lyglot, Werner has lent his tongues and voices to the Choral Group. He also takes an interest in speaking and debating. He does not know what his future plans are. business or psychology or what have you. These arc the sorrows of Werner. inilLlP (.a.AL IIACH This Tl bin was razzed in ihc Bronx, where he still lives on Simdavs and holidays. The rest ot the time he boards and is bored there. His sensitive nose enables him to spot chcm labs and girls, which (once he hnds) he doesn ' t leave. He has received ample training in linguistics. He is affiliated with Y ' oung Israel in the Bronx. It may have been the great popu- larity that Glauber ' s salt brought him in Chem class that caused him to maior in Chemistry. He thinks of going to med school and making gold from baser metals. 29
