SANFORD GREENBERG His magnanimous leadership, strong initiative, and all-around versatility entitles Sanford Greenberg- Senior Class President and Chief Executive of the Student Council-to an esteemed position in Bennett's All Time Hall of Fame. The phenomenon about Sandy is not that he has undertaken so many activities but that he has done them with equal deliberance and success. As a sophomore, when most Bennettonians are just beginning to learn their way around Bennett, Sandy was elected president of the Junior Coun- cil on World Affairs and was serving his second of four years on the Student Council Executive Committee. His association with these organizations led to his election as president of the Inter-High School Student Council and Inter-High School Junior Council on World Affairs, in his junior and senior years respectively. The Bennett Beacon, of which he is Associate Editor, has also received its fair share of Sandy's spare timew. This June, he will be awarded a gold Beacon pin for four years of devoted service. Last year, this remarkable senior was chosen Bennett's representative to the Empire Boys' State, where he added the ofHce of State Comptroller to his honors. Recently, he won the city and state divisions of the Elks Youth leadership contest. Sandy is also a member of the Key Club, the Legion of Honor, and French Honorary Society, he will of course receive a jeweled honor pin upon gradu- ation. It seems that steak, waking up in the morning, overdoses of homework, and misanthropes are among Sandy's pet peeves. On the other hand, ivy clothes, a pretty girl, sports Qbaseball and trackj, parties, and dancing rate high with him. On the more sophisticated side, Sandy enjoys classical music, operas, and dramas. In the last category Oedipus Rex rates as one of his favorites. In September, Sandy hopes to enter the hallowed halls of Columbia. No school could be more fortunate than to have Sandy as a member of its freshman class. JUNE KREINHEDER Many of us at Bennett will think of june Kreinheder as the girl with the deeply waved hair. Behind her pretty exterior we find a capable personality sparkling with leadership and good will. Thumbs down, as far as June is concerned, are final exams, liver, insin- cere people, and fgroanj getting up in the morning. However, many are June's loves: football players, sewing, vanilla ice cream, raw carrots for snacks, drawing and painting. As varied as her likes and dislikes are June's accomplishments at Bennett. Of course, there's Beacon, three years of hard work rewarded with editor of underclassmen this year. She has served as secretary, junior year, and presi- dent, senior year of Kodaya Hi-Y, program chairman and vice-president have been her offices in the English Honorary Society. Expecting a ,lewelled Honor Pin, june is a member of the Legion of Honor, French Honorary Society, and John L. Stamp Dramatic Club. She is active in the Junior Red Cross Council and Service Club, and has been an office monitor three years. WVhen asked of her ambitions, June replied, 'ggovernrnent work or for- eign servicef' To prepare herself she hopes to major in history at Cornell. Success and fame will certainly follow June in her chosen career. DAVID RYNNE Heis friendly, athletic, a leader, and has a smile for everyone. Who else - it's Dave Rynne. He can usually be found in a football uniform, working at his Lieutenant-Governorship of the Key Club, or running around the third floor for the Track Club. During Dave's four years at Bennett, he has excelled in sports, being one of our top offensive football players. He has saved the day many a time when we needed that extra point the most. Not only in Bennett is he praised, he was chosen as All-High end on this year's All-High football team. Dave has played football for three years, receiving a squad letter in his Sophomore year, and Major letters in both his Junior and Senior years. Track is another of his sports, and he has received Major letters in Track, for his last two years in Bennett. He was a member of the Track Club for three years, and was elected Vice-President in his Senior year. Not all his interests are devoted to sports, though. He is a member of the Junior Council on World Affairs, the North Delaware Boys Hi-Y, and the Varsity Club. He was also appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the New York district Key Clubs, a very high honor. Like all of us, Dave has his special likes and dislikes. Pizza, sports and science head his list of favorites. Latin and noisy study halls are irritating to Dave. Dave desires to attend either Columbia or Cornell and we know he will excel in whatever Held of endeavor he chooses. Best of luck, Dave!

M ELLEN HEDGER An outstanding representative of Bennett's seniors is Ellen Hedger. VVe find this pert teenager with a finger in every Bennett Pie. As Girls' Marshal of the Senior Class and Girls' Treasurer of the Junior Class, she has served faithfully in the top echelon. Not one to specialize in only a single phase of school life, Ellen has showed her capabilities on the BEACON for three years, as assistant to the classes column her junior year, and co-editor of the Alumni column this year. She also is expecting a jewelled honor pin and has earned a gold SBI' in sports.

Enthusiastic Ellen rates food of any kind, college boys Cin that orderl, people, and talking on the phone high on her list of loves. She is also crazy about Hi-fi. However, we couldnlt find a single thing Ellen dislikes. Nursing is Ellen's choice for a career with D'Youville College the spot for study. Surely happiness will be her reward in life. RICHARD DOEBLIN Combine scholarship, sincerity, leadership, and knack for work, and you have one of our most outstanding seniorsf Richard Doeblin. Richard has been President of the Legion of Honor, a three year mem- ber of the Math Club, an active Key Clubber, and a member of the Major Staff of the BEACON. In addition, he was a delegate to the Model United Nations from our Junior Council on World Affairs and an active member of the Latin Honor Society. The power of speech is one of Richard's most valuable assets-he won the Knights of Pythias Speaking Contest and the I Speak for Democracyl' Contest. He expects to receive a jewelled Honor Pin upon graduation. High on his honor roll of likes are Math, Latin, lobster, and music Che plays piano and organj. He dislikes discordant music. This summer he is going to France to study at the Sorbonne. In the fall he expects to enter Yale University. We are sure his lot will be a happy and successful one. GERTRUDE HOLZKA Isn't she sweet? She's a pleasure to meet! Who? Why, our Trudy, of course! Who else but the likeable Miss Holzka can combine friendliness, peppiness, and intelligence to produce a sparkling personality? Her ambitious spirit has encouraged Trudy to participate in many school activities, among them: vice-president of the Legion of Honor, treasurer of Future Teachers of America, Secretary of Latin Honor Society, Sophomore editor, Girl's Sports editor, and circulation manager of the BEACON, and the after-school-sports Gold B , Because of her excellent scholastic stand- ing, Trudy is anticipating a Jewelled honor pin in June. Tops on her tiny list of dislikes are people who wonlt call her 'fTrudy , wearing boots in winter, and vegetables. Her favorites are Frank Sinatra and Saturday night. Trudy is planning to attend U. B. this fall, preparatory to teaching history to high school students. May the happiness which Trudy so pleas- antly gave to us, be shared with others, also.

Curtain timelu The voice of our energetic stage manager, Colin Smith, is well known to anyone who has ever done stage work at Bennett. Through his untiring effort, our stage has become the best equipped and smoothest functioning in the city. Colin began his career as flyman, three years ago, and quickly advanced through the ranks to stage manager. He can be found on the stage not only every school day, but even on evenings and Saturdays, performing the end- less number of odd jobs required to keep the stage running smoothly. In addition to his stage work, Colin has amazing musical talents. He has played with the University of Buffalo, the State Teachers, and Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestras. As if this were not enough, Colin is a member of the Legion of Honor and the Beacon Editor of the Spotlight. He is also the president of the Bennett Society of Model Engineers. Unbelievably, Colin could find no pet peeves. However, we discovered he likes good music, twins, and shop talk. Colin distinguished himself by winning the first scholarship of the Class of 1958 to the Eastman School of Music where he will study applied music. After college, he will, most likely, enter the field of professional music. Without the competent stage management of Colin, neither our assem- blies, nor our productions could possibly be successful. Wle of Bennett High School thank him. CAROL SHEINBERG Friendliness, sincerity, and keen intelligence are but a few of the numer- ous wonderful qualities possessed by Carol Sheinberg. Her activities covcr a varied Held and indeed she carries out diligently each task that she under- takes. Her hard work and popularity have accorded her the office of Girl's Treasurer of the Senior Class. An extremely capable person, she has also achieved the position of Secretary of the Legion of Honor. We owe our thanks for the many fine assemblies we have had this year to Carol, for as Chairman of the Program Committee, she has done an excel- lent job. For the past two years, Carol has been serving on the student council, contributing much to the welfare of the students of Bennett. In her Junior year, she was an active member of the Girls' Civil Defense Club and in her senior year her interest in foreign languages led her to join the French Club. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Carol has found time in her busy schedule to devote to work on the business staff of the variety show in her third and fourth years at Bennett, and to become a guidance monitor also. Besides all of her activities outside of school, she has still managed to keep her marks very high, and as a result, she will receive her jewelled honor pin at graduation. Always prompt, Carol Hnds that tardy people annoy her. She doesn't care for Chinese cooking but simply adores pizza. Math is the subject she enjoys most. After graduation from Bennett, Carol intends to enter State Teachers College. We know shelll be successful in all her endeavors.
