Samuel Feder Krcioklyn horn ami BrookKn lircil, Sam has alwavs been tops in all his undertakings. He was Hebrew valedictorian ai Crown Heights Yeshiva and was president of the Student Council of Talmudical Academy in Brooklyn. Sam ' s blond hair has made him the firiest member of the fencing team, and of Rabbi Lifshitz ' s shiur, where he is serving as vice- president. He majored in Mathematics, and spends most of his spare time learning with and teaching kids and Katz. He ' ll .study for Smicha and attend graduate school in Mathematics, ami perhaps become a rabbi and or an applied mathematician. Manfred Fulda The only living personality whose birthplace bears his name. Fulda, he is obviously destined to carry on great tra- ditions. A major in Classics, on one hand, and in J. B., on the other, he symboHzes the fusion of Hellenistic and Halachic worlds. Besides distinguishing himself as the most ubiquitous presence on the campus, Manny has participated in every conceivable activity, has dabbled with practically every field of interest, including Rabbi Bernstein, and yet has found time to cultivate a moustache flashy enough to compete with his bow-tie. For the present, he is happy as a lark; as for the future, he intends to continue acting and dabbling, and settle down to the more sober endeavor of combining the rabbinate with an academic career. Aaron S. Gelman Bronx-bred Babe ' s bright ambition came to light when he became business manager of Masmid. Not wanting to break up a great combination, he pulled his two cohorts in with him. The word Masmid denotes a scholar, thus a person with a wide vocabulary; since joining the governing board, he has added exactly two words to his repertoire, get ads. Besides working in mathematics, he is active in organizational work in the Young Israel and Hapoel Hamizrachi. He wants to enter the rabbinate, get married and get a position in a small community. Now that he is an experienced business manager, a rumor has been circulating that his secret ambition may be to become a business tycoon.

Hob has a certain amount of hidden talent which is revealed by the fact that he won the medal from the D.A.R. for a prize essay in an American history contest. and a Declamation Medal at his grade school graduation. A singing math major, he intends to take advantage of neither of these assets in his future, but rather to enter the rabbinate and the Jewish Education field. Joseph Erushaliiiy Sad-eyed joe, otherwise known as Josephy, has claitned. at different times, to stem from such varied backgrounds as Turkey, Tagikistan, and Oxford. Actually he was born in a Cambridge-tinged area of the Bronx. Upon entering the college, Joe quickly distinguished himself as president of Le Cercle Frattcais and as a master debater. n English major, he may be found quite frequently quaffing a cup of cofTee with Doc. His interests tend to the classical, from literature to tnusic. Besides these and other sundry artistic interests, Joe finds time to guide Ehrman in the ways of true scholarship, His verbosity combined with a natural belligerence in argutnent make him a good bet for the law profession.

Abraham Harry Goder Siaicly, plump, and trigger-quick at back-talk, Harry con- .siders himself an honor student in Rabbi Lifshitz ' s shiur, Mr. Posen ' s Physics Club, and probably everything else. Short-lived at Mesivta and C.C.N.Y., he moved to Yeshiva to out-live every practical joke ever attempted. He is that unique creature who majored in his hobby. Mathematics, while devoting his spare time towards preparing chapters of Isaiah for Mr. Sar ' s Bible class. After g)m hours he may play basketball, and after Beth Hamedrash hours peruse a couple of Bobo Kama pages. Needless to say, his ambition is to become a rabbi and a teacher. Henry Gold Henek was born in Poland and stopped off in Germany on his way over to the United States. He spent his fir.st few years in the U.S. at R.J.J. He then entered Yeshiva Uni- versity. He hid out in the woods of R.I.E.T.S. for a vear and was then liberalctl by Dr. Grinstein and T.I. . t Yeshiva he was a member of the soccer team and kicked around a lot in the Psychology department. He majored in Mathematics and consequently brought tears to the eyes of many an instructor in the latter department as well as in the former. He is proficient in science in general and has mastered other sciences, in particular in his chosen field. Henrv hopes to enter the Hebrew teaching business.
