“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.

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.

OLIVEM, EVELYN Eleven” Glee Club I» 2; Volleyball 1. The proverbial “vim, vigor, and vitality” are personified by Eve- lyn and her sparkling gypsy eyes. A great gal on numerous commit- tees, her business transactions during class are of great interest to a curious audience. Her infec- tious laugh and ready wit have won her the reputation of class comedian. OWEN, FRED This well-known Senior seems to be another one of those men of mystery. With his glasses, Fred is able to see twice as much rs th2 next guy when it comes to flying. He is always in the know in weath- er reports and will surely succeed in whatever draws his interest. PATR1ZIO, ANNETTE Annie” Hockey; Basketball; Junior Var- sity Cheerleader. Who’s going to win?” We are, of course, with Annie on the team. Interested not only in sports, she is a fine student a.3 was shown by her making the National Honor Society in her junior year. She is known and liked by everyone for her gay temperament and laugh- ing dark eyes. ROESER, LOUISE L. Lou” Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Badminton 2, 3, 4; Volleyball 2, 3; Library Club 4; Honor Roll I; Hall Cop 4. To hold down two jo'cs at the same time is quite an achievement, but Louise manages both school and Bahrenburg’s without a com- plaint. Indispensable to the Glee Club is Louise’s strong soprano which will be missed as much as her willingness to help put across any program. PAKALUK, MICHAEL W Parkie” Baseball, 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Fire Squad. Parkie,” really is an active sports- man for he finds baseball, foot- ball and basketball all of special interest. With his intense blue eyes he has captivated many of the female hearts of Hicksville High. RUSCH, FREDERICK W. Fritx” and or Spider” Basketball; Band; Orchestra; Track. Fred is a boy who sets his aims high—his ambition is to be a mil- lionaire, and he plans to attain this goal by entering college this fall. Active on the basketball and track teams, and in other affairs, he en- tertained an equally active dislike for French and chemistry.
