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.

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

MOSHE GOODMAN Cict out the maps, boys! Moilcsi Moshc starts lilc in Icrii.salcm, which he leaves at an early age lor Scotland. Alter live and a half years he gics it ae fond farewell and settles in London for two years, after which he moves to Memphis (Tenn. that is). He leaves them thar hills and goes to Mesifta Torah Vodaath. Next stop, Brooklyn College, NYU, Yeshiva college! Halt! All iti. Moshe rests up in Yeshiva by majoring in Philosophy and English. This explains the way he is sometimes. His interests lie in philosophy and philately. They say that summer romances never last long, But Moshava. . . Immediate ambitions are indefinite. However, he intends to eventually close the cycle and li ' c in Israel. Well, cheerio antl a ' th.at aiul a ' that. WILLIAM GORDON Billy was very active curricularly with his major, Phys. Ed., and consequently had almost no time for extracurricular activities. He comes from Trenton, New Jersey, and claims to major in Sociology. Billy is an old-timer in the Brody retinue, which makes its daily pilgrimages from the lecture hall to the History Office. He is a Life-guard and has fathered many Life-guards. Many students are indebted to him for his lifesaving, and in particular, he is indebted to many others. Ambition — he had ambition. MURRAY GREENFIELD Here I sit broken hearted, with his writeup barely started. What light through yonder darkness breaks, sudden vile thought my mind o ' ertakes. A Bio major to a degree, a medic sure we soon shall see. From cleaver to scalpel there ' s not a lot, Oh heavenly muse, quick a bon mot. Betar he joined at an early age, but time hath soothed the burning rage. Thanks dear muse for inspiration; our malady, cerebral constipation. 30
