Chris John Dionis The superior man has neither anxiety nor fear. Now we come to Chri«, one of the bright (in disposition and mind), carefree members of the Class of ' 51. Always ready with a clever answer, Chris has been able to breeze through C. H. S. with top marks received with very little strain, an enviable feat. An industrious worker, he has done much to bring glory and fame to our class. Chris is indeed a friend to all. A star on the basketball court, his one-hand push shots saved many a game for us. A question in the minds of many is whether his eye is better for baskets or girls. Chris ' desire is to become a journalist, and his classmates wish him success which we know he will achieve.

We now have Jack, one of the most talented members of our class. Jack, with his marimba, has graced many C. H. S. functions and he has been a prominent member of the band for many years. His talents for the arts, however, are not confined entirely to music as may be evidenced by his plans for the future. Jack would like to be either an architect or a designer, and the best wishes of the Class of 51 go with him in which- ever of these careers he may select.

The manly part is to do with might and main what you can do. The spotlight falls on another distinguished member of our class, Jim Donohue, California ' s contribution to C. H. S. Jim is well-known for his ability on the football field and rates high with all his fellow classmates both on and off the gridiron. Carefree and happy-go-lucky, a worry scarcely creases this lad ' s brow, thus he has won the friendship of many. Although not scholastically inclined, he had no trouble between studies and football. After graduation, Jim plans to attend college and we, the Class of 1951, wish him success in whatever field he undertakes.

It ' s just Alice and her twin sister, Mary. Few people can tell the two apart, even their closest friends find it hard. Alice has been one of our most active class members. She dotes on athletics, and when not cheering for the boys basketball and baseball teams, performs creditably herself on the court. Alice has a cheerful smile for everyone and is always seen with “Ellie and the kids.” Alice hasn’t made up her mind whether it will be nursing or the WACS, but whatever it is, the Class of ' 51 wishes her success.

Rose Marie Helen Davidites “A dancing shape , on image gay, To haunt, startle, and waylay.

Dolly ' ' is always worrying over her marks, but although she doesn ' t burn the midnight oil she still makes that testimonial list with flying colors.

John William Davidson The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill. Jackie is one of those quiet boys who, when he smiles, wins you over immediately. Needless to say, Jackie is popular, for he has what it takes to be popular — humor, athletic ability, personality. He was co-captain of this year ' s football team and was a great tackle. For excelling in this, he received the cherished Best Lineman” award. Jackie certainly does not believe in getting wrinkles from study and, therefore, he has not spent hours fretting over t his and that subject. However, he managed to do quite well. Jackie leaves with the best wishes of his class for his future success. Football 2, 3, 4 ; Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Tau Sigma; History Circle; Class Ring Committee; Junior Prom Committee.

Mary Alice Doyle Some think the world is mode For lun and frolic ; and so do I. Who ' s this? Look twice — it ' s Mary, the other half. Although identical in appearance, she and her sister are individual in personality. Whatever Mary does, is done whole- heartedly and with enthusiasm. She is constantly up to something with her close friends, and her gleeful giggle reflects her cheerful personality. Mary is more than willing to do her share to make our class functions a success — no wonder she is well-liked. She has outstanding athletic ability, and was the mainstay of our girls’ athletic teams. Mary aspires to be an airline hostess, and we are confident that she will succeed, for with her winning smile and gracious manner, how can she fail? Best of luck from the Class of ' 51 to you, Mary.

Barbara May Duchnowski What sweet delight a quiet life affords. Barb, a diminutive miss, is one of the quieter members of our class. She is respectec and liked by both teachers and students for her pleasing manner. Barb is always pleasant and ready to carry her share of the burden. After school she may be seen behind the counter at Woolworth ' s, and still manages to find time for study. Barb never missed a C. H. S. football game in fair or foul weather. Her plans, following graduation, are still unknown to us, but we know she will be a credit to the Class of 51. Best wishes. Barb. Junior Prom Committee; History Circle; New York Trip Committee. Barbara A. Duffy “She dances too, and studies some , But notwithstanding has much fun. Whether in work or fun, Barbara is one of the more talented members of our class.

' ' Full of vim and vigor perhaps are the best words that describe Julie. She has been a member of the cheerleaders for three years and has helped spur the team on to winning many a victory. You ' ll always find her with “Ellie, Kathy, and the twins for the five of them are inseparable. Whenever help was needed in class activities Julie was usually one of the first to volunteer her services. Julie plans to don a nurse ' s uniform and we all feel sure that she will prove herself very successful in this profession. Best wishes from the Class of 51, Julie.
