HOFFMANN, LAWRENCE HORN, AUDREY “Spud” “Larry” Home Room Reporter; Baseball. A star player on our baseball team, Larry is obviously fond of sports. His efficiency behind the steering wheel is recognized as his father's car gallops down the road. After graduating, he will fulfill a life- long ambition to become a mech- anic. “Aud” Basketball; Volleyball. Aud has a great interest in sports, especially basketball and volley- ball, and a firm and deep-rooted dislike for history. Dark-haired and dark-eyed, Audrey has a spec- ial fondness for dancing and mov- ies, and will become one of our extra-nice secretaries after her June graduation. HUTTON, ELEANOR Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 1, 2, 3. 4. The origin of Eleanor's nickname is obvious—it springs from her passion for potatoes. Her bubbling nature finds an outlet in sports of all kinds—especially hockey and volleyball. Laughing, cute Eleanor is one of our favorites. JANSON, ERIKA National Honor Society 3, 4. Blonde and blue-eyed this scholar- ly miss will obtain a position as a secretary after graduation. Equally good in sports and in mak- ing friends, Erika has an over- whelming dislike for History C and girls who are “Cats.” With her friendly manner she will probably win many hearts as she attains her ambition to travel. JOHNDRO, JAMES “Jimmy” “Jimmy” is our only merchant sea- man who returned to H. H. S. to graduate. We are desperately afraid, though, that after return- ing safely from the war this blond sailor will break his neck on his beloved motorcycle. JUNG, CHARLES “Saint” Charlie, known as “the Saint” (only among very, very close friends!) has become one of our best scholars as one may see by his 98's in trig’. Good-natured and always ready with a helping hand, he will never be forgotten for his work on the “Will. Charlie’s in- terests at the moment are center- ed around college as he hopes to be admitted this fall.

HENNESSY, ROBERT J. “Bob” Fire Squad; Traffic Squad; Senior Play. Bob is one of our wittiest—maybe it's his Irish blood or the influence of the fighting: Mr. Little. With a love of swimming and sailing, Bob has become a good all-round ath- lete. His goal is relaxation. We don't wonder after all his exercise in the Fire Squad and as a Hall Cop. HEUSCHNEIDER, KARL This popular Senior, tall and as- suredly poised, has an interest in all subjects, though he does dis- like History C. Karl, a co-captain of the traffic squad and an excel- lent salesman as anyone who pa- tronizes the local delicatessen can tell you, will without doubt suc- ceed in whatever field he enters. HICKS, PHYLLIS Phyl Volleyball; Honor Roll 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play; National Honor So- ciety 4. One of our best-loved Seniors, Phyl will surely attain her ambition— just to be happy.

After graduation our Henriette plans to become a stenographer. HILL, MARIE Skee.ix Basketball; Volleyball; Badmin- ton; Ping-pong. Marie, gay and lighthearted per- son, has been active in sports through her four years in high school. Basketball, volleyball, bad- minton, and ping-pong are her ex- tra-special favorites.

HODA, FRED Frit Basket ball 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Traffic Squad; Fire Squad; Vice- President Home Room 4. Fritz—a well-liked Senior—has been very active in such sports as basketball and track. Since it is his ambition to be a Certified Pub- lic Accountant he will attend night Business College while employed as bookkeeper. Freddie will al- ways be remembered for his part in sports, and his interest in a certain blonde.

Irene, one of our peppy cheer- leaders, is well known throughout the school as a petite, pretty, and adorable Senior. No team would be complete without Rene, a fine sportswoman, to lead it to victory. Her fine acting in the Senior play was a great help in assuring its success. LAPID, ROBERT “Bobby” President of Class 3; Vice-presi- dent of Class 4. Good-looking, dark-complexioned, and very cute, Bobby is the most popular boy in the class. Also very influential, he was our Junior class president and Senior vice- president. His cheerful grin and gay wit kept us continually amused.
