VIRGINIA SMITH Ginny is our class real estate woman, who can tell you what houses have leaking faucets and smoking fireplaces. In spite of her big business ventures, she manages a secret social life that makes us envious. Basketball 2; Baseball 2; Soccer 2; Dramatic Club 2 3 4; Courier 3 4; French Club 4 Rock Rivalry 4; The Rock 4. ARTHUR TALLEY 'Art'' has much to be proud of: a fine scholastic record, a reputation for staunch character, and the friendly feeling of his classmates. Courier 3 4; Boys' Hi-Y 4; Stamp Club, President 4; The Rock 4. KATHERINE TSCHAN Kay is the third of the Tschan clan to be graduated from the East Rockaway Schools. She is well-liked in school, yet we judge her greatest popularity comes after 3:30 p.m. Hi-Y 2 3: Courier 4. JOSEPH TUOHY A smiling good nature backed by an iron will and preceded by countless freckles is Joe Tuohy, whether he is conversing, stroking a ping pong ball, or talking in class. Football 2 3; Baseball 2 3 4; Courier 3 4; Hi-Y 3 4; Traffic Patrol 4; The Rock 4; Table Tennis 4; Soccer 4; Rock Rivalry 4; Operetta 4; Choral Club 4.

WILLIAM WALKER Bill is as sturdy and dependable as The Rock and can always be depended on to give the humorous angle to a situation. Absent-minded Bill has been known to answer questions aloud in the middle of a test! Football 2; Basketball 2; Hi-Y 3; Gym Team 3; Boxing 3. ALICE WIESE Alice will probably reach the dozen mark in going steady by the time this yearbook reaches you. Her smiling personality and lively parties invite the fancies of many young men—spring or no spring. Dramatic Club 3; Courier 3 4: Hi-Y 4. GEORGE ZIMMERMAN Zim listens faster than you can talk, freely admits that there are two sides to every argument—his own and the wrong side, and in an argument is adamant. Handball 3; Tennis 4; Baseball 4.

19 WILLIAM PROSCIA Here is one of the most courageous seniors! What other boy, Wally of course excepted, would have donned grease paint and a tom-tom to prance around the gym floor on Rock Rivalry night! Hi-Y 3 4; Football 3 4; Varsity R 3 4: Traffic Patrol 4: Rock Rivalry 4. HELEN RENDALL When we enviously see Helen capably driving the famliy car to school and generously picking up some straggler at every corner, we sense her characteristic kindliness and generosity. Hi-Y 3 4; Dramatic Club 3. GEORGE RYDER George is as quiet in class as Sandburg's oft-mentioned fog, but on his motorcycle, rending the atmosphere with raucous poppings, this gentleman is in his element. Track 2 3. EDWARD SCHMIDT Earnest Ed does his job with the same resolute steadfastness whether he happens to be our dexterous stage manager or our hawk-eyed outfielder.

MARY SEELY Mary isn't quite so contrary as the nursery rhyme suggests but we do wonder why she likes to get up at 5:00 a.m. to go rowing. Latin Club 2 3 4: French Club 3 4; Hi-Y 3 4. OWEN SIMONSON When called upon to deliver a spontaneous talk in class, Ownie may be a bit nonplussed, but tell him to pole vault over a bar, take out that halfback, or get a few baskets—he not only knows what to do, but also does it. Basketball 3 4; Football 3 4; Track 3 4; Baseball 3; Varsity R 3 4; Gym Team 4; Choral Club 4; Traffic Patrol 4: Orchestra 4.
