KRUPA, MARIE KACZMAREK, JANE Ping-pong; Musical Comedy 2, 3; Honor Roll; Tennis. Long blonde tresses and a cute figure make Jane a popular gal among her comrades. She loves dancing and skating, and for this reason her Friday nights are us- ually spent at the Mineola rink. KRIKALO, FLORENCE BARBARA Flo” Tennis; “Comet” Yearbook staff. Tall and willowy, Flo is well known for her lovely complexion, and her imaginative ways of wearing at- tractive clothes. She enjoys tennis and has a weakness for shrimps. We know that she v’ill succeed in whatever field she attempts. Hockey; Volleyball. Pretty blond hair, cute dimples, and sweet face are the first char- acteristics one notices in Marie. Later, as you become acquainted with her, you find her to be gay, good-natured, always laughing— a swell friend. KUNZ, ETHEL “Et” Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Soft- ball 1, 2, 3. 4. Oh! To be capable of that special Kunz jump in basketball and vol- leyball. Oh! To excel in hockey and softball and to contain all that school spirit. Oh! To be a swell all-round pal and athlete . . . to be “Et.” KUNZ, IRENE 'Rene” Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Cheering 3, 4; “Comet” Yearbook staff; Basket- ball; Volleyball. 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.

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.

In the future Dorothy will enter business school where she will train to be- come a comptroller operator. MURRAY, JACQUELINE “Jackie” Jackie, brown-eyed with an ador- able pixie feather cut, is one of our best natured and sincerest graduates.

NORMAN, ALFRED ‘A1 Good-natured Al has kept the class of ’47 in laughter through- out his four years.
