LESTER D. KELNER 3224- W. Norris Street Blaine School Les', cannot be denied a berth among the outstanding, essential men of the class. For his ever-quick acquiescence in lending homework for explaining a difhcult Hygiene 8 lesson to Kidorfl, for his leadership, and for his scholastic achievement, he shines as a bright star among the 187's sparkling heavens.

IRWIN KIDORF 1800 N. 21st Street Stoddart Junior High School 6'Irv Qmore technically-nlrwnj was an intelligent young lad who took high school seriously the moment he entered its portals. As an ambitious student, there was none his equal. He simply enjoyed his studies no matter how difficult they seemed to be. Despite the many hours spent on studying, he usually found time to Stake in' a good book. Some eve- nings when he had nothing to do, be would entertain himself by reading a few volumes of Shakespeare fpardon exaggerationl. All jokes aside, we all know that 'glrvi' will reach his goal in his chosen profession, Medicine.

JACK KLEIN 1313 Medary Avenue Wagner Junior High School Jack, to the unobservant eye, is a small. inconspicuous person, but when we look further into the subject, we find a really friendly fellow.

ARNOLD JURIN 6209 N. 17th Street Wagner Junior High School Arnie has proved to be the keystone of the 187th. His chief trait throughout high school has been 6'leadership g leadership both in sports and in popularity. It is Arnie's hard work, as hub of the class' activi- ties, that has put the illustrious 187th where it is, and belongs. To Arnie, our president, go our deepest appreciation for his superlative service, and sincerest wishes for a future as successful as his past.

But Jerry,' is pretty handy with the English language via the pen as well as the spoken word, as his many articles in the Centralizer and Mirror will testify.

MARVIN KATZ 322 Gaskill Street Bartlett Junior High School uPussy Katz will always be remembered by 187 men for his unique personality. Although he has a quiet nature, he seldom has been at a loss for words. Nearly everyone in the class has, at one time or another, been his listening-post while he sang the praises of Selma, or modestly referred to his ability as the hottest trumpet player in captivity. We wish him the best in his future fSelma?J. Extra-Curricular Activities: Intramural Sportsg Selma. BERNARD KAYTES 1719 Juniata Street Carnell Elementary School If you've ever seen a fellow deeply engrossed in a book, we would be willing to give odds that he answered to the name, 'LBernie. Far from a nlonghairi' bookworm, this fellow, the tail end of the 4'Katzes,,' is an ardent baseball and football fan-even to the point of risking his own neck in a friendly game. 4'Bernie will be an accountant if plans work out. As long as he has his many books along with him at college, we know hc'll never fear the realities of the world.

KELLER 7034 Cedar Park Avenue Wagner Junior High School We'l1 always remember the little fellow with the bright hair and even brighter ideas. The energy which he packs into his small frame is all out of proportion with his size. It is Lowell's king size personality, too, which has impressed his many friends with the law of inverse proportions. Many of us have envied Lowell's diminutivenessg chiefly because it enables him to easily hide himself from the Prof's view. Lowell often regaled us with his tales of the biggest problem in his life-uwomankindf' We wish him future success in this field as well as in his career of Journalism.

He never has much to say and yet when it comes to doing things he is among the first. Along with his reserve and modesty, is a smile and a personality that you just can't resist. Herbert is a fine, con- scientious worker. He rarely finds fault with anything. We are sure that his quiet nature will bring nothing but great success to him in the future.
