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.

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.
