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.

Izzy's epicurean tastes leaned toward sardines and crackers. Anyway, good luck, Izzy.

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.
