MAI BACH, CHESTER WILLIAM Captain of Hall Cops; Fire Squad; “Comet Staff; Reporter. If Chet’s ability for buying and selling ears is in any way indica- tive of his ability in his future vo- cation, we may be very sure he will be an A-l success. ... As captain of the hall cops, he kept the traffic moving as rapidly as he loves to see it move on the highways. MILACEK, DOROTHY “Dot Quiet and demure with attractive dark eyes, Dot is a favorite class- mate. Somewhat serious minded, she reads numerous books and really enjoys history class. 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. Starring in the busi- ness department, Jackie will doubtless bestow her talents in that field. When in the future, one thinks of Jackie, he will re- member her wilful ways as a hall cop on the Senior floor. NORMAN, ALFRED ‘A1 Good-natured Al has kept the class of ’47 in laughter through- out his four years. With his tact- ful yet gay wit, irresistible smile and naturally curly hair, Al will never be forgotten for his— “What’s on first base and who’s on second”— given numerous times as an English report. OCHS, HENRY Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. When Henry graduated in Janu- ary the orchestra really miss id his virtuosity at the violin. Very tall, blond, and unusually silent, his customary way of greeting his many acquaintainces by raising his eyebrows caused much amuse- ment. Friendly and genial Henry made many close friends, espec- ially among the opposite sex. CCKS, MARION “Blondie” Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Honor Roll; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4. Called “Blondie” by her intimate friends, Marion depicted a gentle, soothing Mrs. Little. Friendly and charming, sh? scores high not only among her churns but also on the basketball and hockey teams. She has a novel ambition—to become a private secretary at a broadcast- ing studio.

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.

“AI” LEBARRON, BRUCE E. Glee Club 1, 4; Honor Society 1, 2, 3, 4. An honor student in the true sense of the word, yet one with a great sense of humor as was proved by his portrayal of the Judge in “Trial by Jury.” He is interested in organs and plans to attend Oberlin College after graduating. LEHMANN, ADOLPH 1 Wuzzy’ The origin of Wuzzy’s nickname is not clear to us, but we think a more suitable one would be “Skates,” because of his love for the Mineola Skating Rink. When he graduated in January the Glee Club surely missed the witty re- marks that used to come from the tenor section. LIVINGSTON, ALBERT Tall, dark and handsome, “Al” seems to have a dual personality —one being a swell literary mind, and the other a sardonic wit which amazes all. LUHMANN, DOROTHY JUNE “Dot” Hockey; Volleyball; Basketball; Senior Play; Honor Roll 1, 2, 4. Dot, one of Hicksville High’s very nicest girls, has been on the Honor Roll throughout her school years. Exceedingly interested in sports. Dot has a special interest in hoc- key, volleyball and basketball. Her now famous “dinner call for Filmer” in the play really brought down the house. McCABE, EILEEN Eileen’s keen desire to go to work inspired her to finish high school in three and one half years. Her employer’s gain was our lass. We missed her small voice saying, “Single file, please,” in the hall six times a day without fail. MADDEN. HELEN ANNE “DeeDum” Cheerleading 3, 4; Hockey 1, 2, 3; Volleyball 1, 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Sports Editor “The Comet” 4. Helen, the namesake for “Mad- den’s Madcaps,” is one of our pert, all-round cheerleaders. Sweet and lovable, she deserves a lot of credit for making the numerous Senior dances sucessful.
