H;il»l»i Jerome Kej.srnan Judah, scion of a reputed Chassidic family, is a distinguished gentleman, whose first love was Talmud. Specializing in philosophy with the saint, he was dubbed the spirit by his admirer. Possessed by a saintly spirit, this spiritual saint also took Latin, receiving the appellation THE rabbi at the hands and feet of his Chassidim. He didn ' t take Greek, for he claimed that Latin was Greek to him. His ambitions are threefold: to convert Jews to Judaism, to e.xplain to ' ieshiva boys their purpose in staying at the Yeshiva, and to find a clean table. He ' ll undoubtedly live up to his rep- utation. Leon Martin Kestenbaum The better half of Flathush ' s hoo tch twins, at least the taller, is Kay. Leon came to us from the Yeshiva of Flat- bush before it became greater, and from R. J. J. 1 bus cum- init he suicide and thus he himself cum to be greater. In case you didn ' t know it, he graduated from T. I. with a cum laude, no less. Once soph vice-president and junior president, he culminated his political achievements as lower senior president. He became feature editor of The Com- mentator, but was fired and appointed news editor because he thought that he himself was the feature attraction; and others thought that this picture wasn ' t basic enough. Kesty ' s ambitions include the rabbinate and working doNxn in Brooklyn.

Jason Jacobowitz Found: the middle member of tlic unhnly three. Jase takes most of the credit for himself as having indoctrinated the musketeers into the uncoveted business staff of Masmid. In T. A. lase met up and hooked up with the Babe, and then they met up with Sam and adopted the company onto their business cognomen. Also a Mathematics major, Jason would like to do research in that field. Unlike Babe, he pre- fers the field; and unlike Sam, he just wants to do research, not take courses. He intends to enter the rabbinate and take over a svnagogue, lartrer than the West Side Institutional. Milton Kain Miltie, a Bron. baby, went to Israel before he was out of his diapers, and got wise and moved to Brooklyn after his re- turn. He graduated the Lubavitcher Yeshiva, as valedic- torian no less, and then transferred to Chaim Berlin for a change of atmosphere. A Political Science major, his main interest happens to be politics. Having learned to be articu- late, he claims to have been the founder of the anti-open- class-night movement in his sophomore year. Incidentally, that was the year that he represented the model Yeshiva in the model U.N. He intends to get Smicha, open or closed, and then study comparative jurisprudence with an open mind. His case is not closed. Norman Katz Norman is one of those back-to-nature boys who continu- ally change their environs until ultimately they reside in a perfectly disdlled atmosphere. He moved from Torah Vo- daath to T. A., but this failed to satisfy him. He also moved from Williamsburg to stratospheric Connecticut, where he learned that where there ' s a Will there ' s a way. An ear- nest student, he was high school valedictorian and received the Junior Math Award at Yeshiva College. In spite of his scholastic achievements, he ' s still one of those nice guys whom everybody likes. His one and only love is Math, which he intends to take up in graduate school. His plans also call for the rabbinate.

Saul H. Klaiisner Saul H. (it is said the midtUe initial stands tor Hazan) was born in l rookUn. An extensive tour ot Mumpe n the early V ii) ' s brought him to Israel for four years. He attended Torah Vodaath when he returned to Brooklyn, and forgot any Hebrew he might have picked up in Israel. Already inculcated by Torah Vodaath he studied at R. I. H. T. S. tor two years on arriving at Yeshiva University. Now he is trying to regain his knowledge of Hebrew which he so re- gretfully forgot, in T. I. A major in Philosophy, it can be trtily said of him that he is one of the few Philosophy ma- jors who ever philosophizes. He was a member oi the choral group at Y. U. He aspires to become a lamdan and a cantor. Isidore Klein He was born and bred in the exciting Williamsburg atmos- phere, a fact which may account for his deeply-rooted inter- est in psychology. Having attended the Mesivta high school and for a while Brooklyn College, Izzy discovered Yeshiva and liked it. He became active in Eranos, International Re- lations Society, Choral Group, Fencing, Tennis, Psychology Club; his winning smile earned him popularity and his skill, a swimming instructorship. Either from Dr. Adler or from his Yeshiva Rebbi or Novoseller, he hit upon the idea of combining psychology with the rabbinate. From that moment on he made away with his interests, photography and club leadership, anil began to concentrate on Novoseller. Samuel Klein Sleepy-eyed Sam lives in New York City, studied at R. J. J. and at Talmudical Academy, where he joined up as the third musketeer. When you see Gelman, Jacobowitz, and Company (that company is Sam), prancing through Ye- shiva ' s golden halls, you know they mean business. Sam does all the technical work for the trio. All three are Math majors and took identical courses in their first three years at college. However, Sam shocked the world when he went off on a tangent, and continued with Advanced Calculus. When not soliciting ads and formulas, he directs youth activities and is a member of Hapoel Hamizrachi. He hopes to graduate with the coveted B. A.-be degree and then enter the rabbinate and community administration.
