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.

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.

Sheldon Goldstein Here is a plugging, pug-noscci, pudgy, punctual, punctilious [Hipil from the Bronx (pronounced Pronx in Bronxcse), a majiir in P-sychology. Shaye, ever helpful, is seen nmslly lecturing to Machlakah Vav about Achad Haam or the possible qtiestions on the next bechinat gemer. Before coming to Yeshiva he was a Spanish scholar in De Witt C ' linton High School and studictl his basic Hebrew at Marshalia High School. Shaye led many of his classmates to graduation from T.I., and rightfully enough he himself graduated. He hopes to teach Hebrew, become a rabbi, and eventually live in Israel. Max Goldzvveig Maximilian, Bored of Education, was born in Saffed, Palestine — and successfully withstood the Chamsin for six years, this feat being due only to his absorption of Saffed ' s Kabalah by osmosis. Leaving the sandy beaches of Aretz for the bearded forests of Lubavitch ' s Canada, he was gradually incubated to hatch a sociological egg at Yeshiva. In all seriousness, though, he is deeply and firmly attached to Hymie Shapiro. Making stamp-pasting his liking, his dreams are crowded with visions of all kinds of degrees — rabbinical, sociological, and third (achron achron choviv). He has earned the respect of his classmates for his constant willingness to do a favor tor anyone, including Masmid. Irving Goodman Although a student for two years at C.C.N.Y. on Lavender Hill, Heshy moved up the spectrum to the blue skies of Yeshiva. His advent here caused great consternation among the math genii due to his sharp acumen and friends. A studeiit in Rabbi Soloveichick ' s class, Irv attained this coveted position of understanding chakiros by way of Torah Vodaath and the Suwalker Rav. His work in politics began as a member of Senior Arista and high school choir. Even now his smiling face can be seen peering through the portals of the Co-op Candy Store of which he is manager. He is a fine piano player and has done professional choral work. His ambition is to become a musical rabbi.
