He was imme- diately elected president of the 52ers. a position to which he was confidently reelected this past year. As captain of the lootball team and a stalwart on the basket- ball team. Don has displayed his athletic prowess which helped both academy teams out in many a tight spot. He was also an outstanding player on the tennis team.

We all wish Don the best ol luck in the future. ooooooooooooooo IOHNHEDRICK Glen Ellyn.

Illinois Treasurer Aeichlorians Dormitory Council Triple 'l'rio Mixed Chorus Twelfth Night ' First Lady Keynote Club Merit Status Beth KI'm not from Crystal Lakelllj I-letzler came to us from Barrington as a freshman. This hazel eyed blonde was shy and bashlul. but has pleasantly overcome this in the past four years. One eccentricity still continues, that horrible tear of mice which she has exhibited on several occasions in the dorm. Beth is noted lor her musical inclinations. Her talented fingers have made many chapels and recitals enjoyable. and for a time it was believed that Beth might even play the violin. She also sang for several programs. She could be heard sing- ing sweetly to her collection of stuffed animals. so large it practically dispossessed her roommate. Her other inclinations lean toward dramatics. merit status. hamburgers, and a variety of boys. Good-bye, Beth, and best of luck.

IEAN KATHLEEN DAVIS Wayne, Illinois Editor 1952 Hilltop Keynote Club Paint and Palette Club Orange and Black Aeichlorians First Lady Twelfth Night Triple Trio Mixed Chorus Merit Status Rotary Award Kathy came to the Elgin Academy from the great metropolis of Wayne and joined the class as a Freshman. Ever since then she has been one of the school's most outstanding students. Kathy will be long remembered for her quick wit, ready appreciation. and her voice that carries so well, sometimes at the wrong times. However, it has been put to good use in major parts of several plays. In recitals, Kathy's lovely alto voice is acknowledged one of the most accomplished in the school. Her editorship of this year's Hilltop is an example of the many positions of responsibility she has come to hold. We wish Kathy the best of luck, but with her keen intelligence and likability we're confident she won't need it. KENT GRUNEWALD Chicago, Illinois Major E Club Football Swimming The teachers of the Elgin Academy all heaved what appeared to be sighs of relief when the problem child ot the 52ers graduated last February. However, we know they really felt as Kent's fellow students did, that his absence was a loss to the senior class. Gruney left many places vacant when he left. including corners of several female hearts. More important to Kent, however. was his place as star of the basketball team. In the dormitory Kent was known as The White Devil and did his best to live up to the name. The sight of his curly black head with its impish grin peering around corners was a familiar scene at any time of day or night. We've missed you Kent. Good luck. CHANDLER HATCHER Highland Park, Illinois President Orange Club Vice-President Major E Club Dormitory Council Student Council Mixed Chorus Orange and Black First Lady Football Swimming Track Merit Status Big Chan ambled in in his junior year to become a valuable addition to this year's graduating class. With his infectious grin. ready humor. and easy manner, Chan soon captured the heart of E. A. and its women. especially one dark homecoming queen. Chan's talents extend to many fields. When Major E's were awarded, Chan was present both for football and swimming. This able breast stroker has helped stack up many points for the Sons of Neptune. Another field in which the Highland Park boy excels consistently is voice. His has proved itself both musically and dramatically, for Chan has been prominent in many plays and musical productions. We know that Chan's winning ways will open the door to success no matter where he may knock.

ROBERT IZENSTARK Chicago, Illinois History Club Keynote Club Maior E Club Hobby Club Basketball Swimming Four years ago the 52ers were blessed with the arrival of Bob, the war surplus boy. Well known for his familiar saying Stark's has everythingl, and his amazing financial ability, Izzy has the full confidence of his students that he will become a millionaire by the age of thirty. The other part of his ambi- tion seems to be to possess a Parisian harem. We all wonder if the purpose of his recent European trip might not have been to scout for prospective members for his harem. tEd. note: Mr. and Mrs. Izenstark accompanied their son, Robert, on said voyage.D In case you wanted to know. Izzy's epicurean tastes leaned toward sardines and crackers. Anyway, good luck, Izzy. We're glad you made itl ANN IAEGER Elmhurst, Illinois Aeichlorians Mixed Chorus Orange and Black Keynote Club Ann is the perfect personification of the oft used description beautiful blonde. She entered in the beginning of her senior year and very quickly attached herself to a very willing Bobby. Renowned for her quizically raised eyebrows and long golden locks, Ann is the envy of many of the girls in the dorm. Al- though Ann is usually rather quiet she becomes more active at night when she is often seen nocturnally preambulating. In a more serious vein, her literary achievements can be witnessed in the O. and B. In addition, one of her poems was accepted and published in a nationwide high school poetry anthology. The Academy is really going to miss you. Come back and visit us soon. ooooooooooooooo PENNEYIOHNSON Elgin, nlinois President Aeichlorians Editor Orange and Black Assistant Editor 1952 Hilltop Treasurer Paint and Palette Club Twelfth Night Mixed Chorus First Lady Student Council Merit Status Petite Penney bounced up to the academy in her Freshman year and has been bouncing along with the class of '52 ever since. Penney's interests in everything, including males, have been widely diversified throughout her four years at Elgin. Her efiervescent laughter could be heard everywhere, except, per- haps, when she was trying to gather articles for the Orange and Black or officiating in the serious capacity of president of the Aeichs. This cute senior's alacrity and ability to inject a little humor into the gloomiest situation have made her well liked by all, so it was rarely that Phil has had her to himseli. We know that as Penney bounces along through life her infectious spirit will endear her to those around her as it has done here.
