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?

 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.

SHARON KEENAN A “nutty” member of the Beacon High student body, Sharon has taken the secretarial course so she can become a great future secretary. Her likes are boys, like any girl, while she holds a strong dislike for American history. JOHN KALB John is one of the most outstanding and outspoken members of the student body, not only scholastically, but in the area of student leadership. John has been a very active member of all the numerous organizations to which he belongs, the most noteworthy of his achievements being junior class president and a National Merit semi-finalist. STUART KAPLAN One of the bright lights of our senior class is Stu Kaplan. This garrulous, happy-go-lucky fellow lists as his ambition building a computer that will be able to beat his father at chess. This Chinese food lover who also likes Latin participates in the Honor Society and the Joe Berg Seminar, in addition to being an all-around whiz. DOUGLAS KEARNEY Doug is an avid admirer of hunting. He also likes girls while harboring a keen dislike for school. He has participated in J.V. football during his high school years. Doug is taking a college entrance course, so he will be able to work at I.B.M.
