E AL HIGH SCHOOL MICHAEL BEREZOWSKI 2444 Aspen Street Morris Mike is popular for the simple reason that he is natural, can crack as good a joke as anybody, and is brilliant scholastically. Since coming to Central he has obtained every Barn- well Badge, Mike probably knows more about radio than any other student in school. He has made it his chief hobby, is president of the Radio Club, and plans to take up Radio En- gineering as his life work. Mike delights in classical or semi-classical music, and devours historical books. We miss our guess by a wide mark if Mike doesn't leave his imprint on his chosen Held. Secretary, President, Radio Club: Vice- President, German Club: Bamwell Honor Roll. HAROLD MILTON BERNSTEIN 2477-77th Avenue Blaine Besides being an athlete and a cheerleader, Harold seems to have plenty of time to keep his scholarship way up. Slug is known for his broad shoulders and fancy dressing: he also possesses an excellent collection of records, both swing and sweet. His meanderings among the fair daffodils are known far and wide, for Slug's lady-killing is an old story, He aspires to become a doctor of veterinary medicine iunot a horse doctor he emphatically ex- claimsl. His keen mind, healthy body, and downright determination to attain his goal war- rant admiration. We wish him luck.

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTE THIRD CLASS SELGENE BALABAN 1512 N. Franklin Street Ferguson Gene's scintillating tongue and command of words have brought him bounteous honors. He stands out as one of the best class orators and pep-talkers. Gene is truly a streamlined ver- sion of 1940 youth, likes pretty girls 1it's mu- tual tooj and good swing, and doesn't get lost on the dance Hoof. Being adapted for public speaking and intelligent thinking he plans to study law, Temple University being his col- lege choice. We'll be hearing more of Gene in the future if he keeps up the pace of his high school days.

IEROME BARAL 3202 W. York Street Fitzsimons When the smoke clears, miraculously un- scathed, will appear the stude pictured here. He is one of the few who have practiced their Chemistry after leaving the classroom. But not only has he taken an interest in Chemistry, for the simple fact that he has been on the Barnwell Honor Roll every term attests to his interest and ability in his other phases of class work. Ierry is planning a career as a dentist and in a farewell wish to him let us hope he doesn't blow any of his patients up through his experimenting. Barnwell Honor Roll. 23

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY- THIRD CLASS MAX BIEDERMAN 873 N. Lawrence Street With his grin and his pugnaciousness Bied sure will be a rip-snortin' success in coming years. His good fellowship and overflow of humor has made him popular with everybody. Besides, Max is an all-around high school boy: will play any sport at the drop of the hat, but also knows how to make those terrible trig or physics problems sit up and behave. Max is the best soccer player in the class, having been on the varsity since his sophomore year. He is not behind time either, takes swing in stride, but prefers quiet brunettes to peroxides. Max plans to forestall any trouble for perhaps help his friends in troublel by taking up law at the U. of P. Varsity Soccer: Study Hall Staff: Welfare Staff. EUGENE BLOOMFIELD 1919 N.
