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.

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.

Nathan Kricger The most amazing fact about the co aptain of this year ' s basketball varsity is that he has been able to apply mathe- matics to basketball and basketball to mathematics. Bf rn in Brooklyn, where he has lived all his life, Natie attended Y ' eshiva Toras Chaim and then transferred to T. A. There his basketball career was inaugurated. Since it has been much the center of his existence, it has been rumored that he even plays it in his Sunday School classes. Naturally, he has coached basketball, worked in summer camps, and played varsity ball for four years, . fter attending graduate school and visiting Israel, he hopes to teach mathematics, and coach basketball. .lacol) S. Kriiinliein Jake received his earK education in ' cshixos Ketanos, and when har-mitzvahed became the thirteeiuh member of the first class of Brooklyn T. . . Silent Selig will always be re- membered by all of the graduates as a walking Parnassus. When he is not studying — novels that is — he can be seen discovering, uncovering, and undercovering the news for The Commentator. At Y ' eshiva, Y ' aakov took a liking to Yukie and recreation. It is said that he once did an extra assignment, thus his first break with Commie. One thing is sure, he will live happily ever after.
