Frank Chesco: A comedian; buck teeth you know. Frank is one of the “Big Four” (the biggest) in the far corner. But he keeps things moving, even if it is backwards. No future. Joyce Elder: Joyce doesn’t say very much and works diligently to send those favorable marks home. Will make out okay. Bob Gooding: Bob has an urge to travel but at present is more interested in talking to 4B girls in the hall. Says he would like to till the soil. Ron Hopkins: Ron is now a government man. He licks and sticks the L.B. excise seals on the L. Favorite tune and girl is “Sweet Adeline . Dennis Johnson: Dennis is no relative to Alf, but he has that same “way”. He is being noticed by the girls more and more or could it be the other way ' round? A whiz at math. Future—still thinking. Dalbert Luedtke: Crouched down at the back of the room, in the farthest corner during Trig-Geom periods, he says to Mr. Hawrylak under his breath, “Ahhhh, you’re not so big!!” Lorraine Mowrey: Lorraine is very, very,—yes, very. But once in a while she blushes and walks over to the pencil sharpener. Career is still obscure. Elliot Reavely: Has a fascinating technique for mooching smokes. His ambition is to be a playboy. It all started with a certain Joyce in 4B. Jack Smith: Intends to enter the electrical trade. Now, a pun—. A good business to make good connections. Jack’s present interest is in some¬ thing or someone that starts with Y and ends with E. Beatrice Tate: Always calm, cool, and collected. Has a pretty, seldom-seen smile. “Beat’s” ambition is to be a school teacher so plans to enter Normal next term. Good luck, Beatrice. Myles Gaffney: Wants to work in town for a while and eventually return to harnessing horses. His interest, quote, “She ' s not bad, and is in training as a nurse,” unquote. Don Dusterbeck: “Dusty” hasn ' t made up his mind as to the future, but he has an interesting hobby whom no one knows. Ernie Gettle: Ernie lets go with a reserved laugh once in a while. He is strictly a woman hater and will take on life alone (he says). He keeps his plans to himself. Elinor Gretzinger: “Hard Rock” sits in the fifth seat in the “do all the homework and get good marks” row. She does too, and should make out ail right. Also, she has rosy cheeks. Francis Hubert: His round face frequently beams a big smile. He seems to be intellectual and should do well in anything he pursues. Good Luck “Fran”. Tom Leverick: Tom is continually chewing gum and mumbling “blond and 5 ft. 3 in.” He will spend his future doing nothing. Jack McArter: Wants to be an inn-keeper. Last reports have it that he intends to walk the last mile. Anybody know the lucky girl? Ella Ochitwa: Ella is an ardent French student. She sits in the front seat, first row; result—she is the doorwoman and pencil sharpener. Other facts are hush, hush. Alexandra Scrimbet: Takes her school-work seriously and is very silent. She plans to enter the teaching profession. Best of luck, Alexandra. Tillie Soroski: Laughs and chats. Works hard (not definitely established) and seems to have a nodding acquaint¬ ance with 4B’s mascot (O’Shaugh- nessy). Future—won’t say. Dave Whitford: Hasn’t got much to say these days; just sits, looks, and listens. Future—perhaps. Helmut Jackie: This is “Jake’s” first year here. He has a peculiar attraction for dark hair. “Jake” doesn’t say much, but there’s a steep urge to fly an airplane. Mary Eberle: Likes to laugh with the girls, over what? Must be interesting. Mary takes all her books home and uses them. Very silent about her ambition. John Gettle: Is the older brother, also a quiet student; but he manages to ask a few questions and come up with right answers. Little is known about his interests. Richard Hector: Fools everybody and gives the best answers when the inspectors are around; he regulates the air conditioning and light for the rear half of the room. Richard should give the business a thought. Alf Johnson: A good head. Alf is liked by the boys and loved by ?. He will go along successfully with that smile and pleasant disposition. Ida Loucks: A sw T ell kid who tries hard to answer all of Mr. Mclver’s ques¬ tions and help “Iqor” with his experiments (physics). Kosta Malesku: A nautical lad; last reports have it he has given up school to pursue a career in the navy. The best of luck to you, Kosta. Brendan McDonald: His chief ambition is to be a man and “finish my grade twelve next year.” “Brendy” is a well- known amphibian and a swell guy. (Ask Betty Lou Bingham). Chalmer Shoeman: This man made an astounding statement—“my present interest is school.” He plans to work as an electrician. Now, a pun—No doubt about it, there’s a shocking life ahead of him. Erica Rosinquist: Erica is slightly mysterious but from observation she w r orks hard and people like that usually succeed. Bob Widdup: Bob likes girls; he plays the trumpet, plays the fiddle, and- heh, heh, plays some more. He plans to work in a bank but may be back next year to take commercial. J+A, Gamesui Sluf, Anton Schneider: “Tony” is 4A’s favorite and a new comer to our school. Likes algebra but history?—the less said the better. Balfour Beacon ’48 Page 17
