CARMEN MARTUCCI Hold everything! Guess who it is? Why Carmen, of course. Anytime you are looking for Muzzie , just look for Alfred or Bill because he always is with them. Carmen spends most of his time at the Sports Shop or Recreation Center. Carmen's pet-peeve is homework. It is very seldom anyone sees Muzz overwork himself. Two of his favorite sports are football and basketball. Muzz showed his athletic ability to the school by playing center on the team this year. He got his strong body pulling tobacco baskets in Amherst. Mass. for coach Gernerd. We do not know Carmen's plans for the future, but we hope he will succeed in whatever he does.

But don't let his size deceive you because he is best described as being small but mighty . Sports appeal to him just as his pleasing personality appeals to other people. He can usually be found at the Youth Center or making sweet music on his trumpet. In the summertime you can occasionally find him enjoying himself at the community grove. He has not made any definite future plans but whatever he endeavors to do, our best wishes are with IIITI.

BRUCE MECKES And this is Homer . Homer lives on Third Street but if you're looking for him, try the Sports Shop first. He's practically always there discussing football with Rookie and the gang. They tell, that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so if it's Homer's heart you're after, just feed him watermelon. Every Wednesday you can hear Homer sounding off with the other tenors in the Boys, Glee Club. After graduation, Homer plans to work with the F.B.I. Here's hoping he reaches the top.

LEON MEINHA RT Leon, a dark-haired lad, is another one of those guys who appear to be bashful, but after you get to know him you'll think differently. Each morning and afternoon he travels to and from Big Creek to further his education. Since Leon has a great yearning for out-of-doors his main interests are hunting and fish- ing. If you see an empty chair in Mr. Gernerd's room you know he is taking advantage of an opportunity. Leon has not decided what he will do after he leaves our Alma Mater, but we know whatever path he chooses he's sure to win. ELEANORE MILLER Uh! Oh! Here is one of the cheerful members ofour class who is always laughing or talking. Eleanore travels on the bus from Andreas to Lehighton to further her education.
