 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.

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.

SHARON HOWE A college entrance student, Sharon has served on the Student Council, been a library aid, and in a more sportsmanlike way, a member of the swimming and bowling clubs. We hope this will help her realize her ambition of “getting out of New York”. Perhaps with a Lourdes boy? STEPHEN HUPCEY One of the quiet members of our class, Stephen has a passionate dislike for American history and a keen interest in cars. He is enrolled in the com- mercial course and is greatly looking forward to being liberated from Beacon High School. JOHN LEWIS JOHNSON One of the beefiest of last year’s football team is John Johnson. Johnson played excellent ball throughout the season and hopes to continue to play until he reaches the pros. This tough, cute, and friendly guy includes among his likes progressive jazz and beautiful, intelligent women. Academically he took the college entrance course. NANCY ANN JOHNSON Nancy’s one ambition in life is to become the best nurse possible. One day she will obtain this goal, for she shows all those traits necessary to become a good nurse; in her high school years she showed friendliness and patience. With all this experience behind her, how could she ever be anything but the best possible?
