Two Bronx sisters have
achieved a unique "first" in the
annals of higher education.
Dvorah Wilamowski, 18, was
named valedictorian of the
Class of 1962 at Yeshiva Uni-
versity's Stern College for
Women. Her designation is uni-
que because she succeeds her
sister, Naomi, 21, who achieved
similar status in 1961.
This is believed to be the
first time that two sisters have
been valedictorians of the same
college's graduating class in
successive years.
Naomi is now a student at
the University's Albert Ein-
stein College of Medicine, while
Dvorah, who in December was
awarded a New York State
RegentS Medical Scholarship for
four years of study, will be en-
tering the Medical School in
September.
ical Seminary of America,
which sponsored the new cen-
ter, announced a new depart-
ment of international service to
provide American rabbis and
teachers for other countries and
to train local youth for service
to their own communities.
