JAMES HANDA This fun-loving senior enjoys records and girls, while harboring a negative attitude toward math. Jim’s ambition is to graduate from Beacon High and go on to further studies. VINCENT HANDLEY In preparation for a career of being a barber, Vinnie has taken a business bookkeeping course. He likes girls and dancing, dislikes nothing. Vinnie’s spare time is devoted to swimming, playing tennis, and drawing. ART HANNA “Hum” Hanna should be rather easy to satisfy as his main ambition is to get out of school. The main obstacle in his path is the business course which he has taken. His utopia occurs Saturday and Sunday and is only marred by the recurrence of Monday. Hum spends his spare time working with cars. SHARON HAYES If you’ve been to Veta Budney’s any Saturday during the past year, you would have seen Sharon busily working. Besides this job she enjoys baby- sitting. Shar would love to live in Florida because she dislikes, passionately, snow and cold weather. In preparation for a job as a file clerk, she has taken a business course.

 DAVE GROMKO Dave Gromko’s ambition is to get out of school and out of Beacon. He enjoys working on cars, skating, and swimming. Dave was a member of the J.V. baseball and football teams and is now following a business course. GARY GROZA Gary “Gross” Groza is bent on achieving a smashing success. To further his aim he is taking a business administration course. He has participated in basketball, football, varsity club, and the Echo. Gary spends his spare time “bumming around’ . MARY ALICE GAURILOFF That tall, attractive girl selling tickets at the football and basketball games is none other than Mary Alice. Now that she has her driver’s license» she likes long rides. I wonder why she dislikes short boys? In preparation for a teaching career, M. A. has taken a college entrance course. BEVERLY HAIGHT Bev Haight is one of our talkative seniors. She dislikes “Blue Mondays” but enjoys weekends and driving her car, now that she has her license. Her ambition is “to make a time writing”. The course she has taken is business secretarial.

 ILENE HELLMAN We happen to be honored with the presence of a future Metropolitan Opera star. Her preliminary study has been done in chorus, All-state, and the Girls’ Chorus. One especially noteworthy factor in her activities is her membership in clubs. In school she has managed to take the college entrance course in spite of her musical interests. ROBERTA HEALEY Who is the girl with the gorgeous red hair? It’s Inky, a friendly, cheerful girl who really wants a 5th period lunch hour. This talkative senior, who hates to be called “Red”, is to be a secretary and is taking a business course. WILLIAM HOFFART Another business major is Billy Hoffart. Bill’s main ambition is to be a suc- cessful accountant. He enjoys bowling, playing basketball, and pool. His chief hobby is coin collecting. His main beefs are getting up Monday morning and preparing for a test. MARIE HOLT One of our more active seniors is Marie “Squirt” Holt, (16 activities, we counted them). This business secretarial major likes Sting Rays, Ring Dings, and anything orange (except oranges). Some of her major activities were girls’ sports and chorus.
