HOWARD LEVIN 2329 Parrish Street Stoddart Junior High School Ears,' is the fellow to whom to turn for help before a crucial test. Quiet and unassuming, he has helped many a hopeless classmate to find some hope of passing, due to his untiring efforts to be a friend to all. How spends much of his time taking part in sports. Nevertheless, in keeping with his versatility, he does manage to find time for another very different hobby-sketching. At present, his future merely consists of attending college. However, we feel that the horoscope of this swell', fellow must certainly predict a 'iswelli' future in any future school.
