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.

“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.

SADOWSKI, CHESTER Chet” Nonchalant about school work— Chet has slid through his studies with his usual happy-go-lucky at- titude. That blond, curly-headed lad captivated many a heart. SANAK, JAMES M. Murphy” Murphy has gained increasing popularity since his return to school from the service. His love for the school print shop assures his success in his chosen profes- sion. A notable accomplishment was his senior essay called ‘‘Days in Khaki,” which, obviously, de- scribed his overseas experiences in the army. SCHAEFFLER, FRED O’Shea” Hall Cop; Fire Squad; Treasurer, Senior Class. O’Shea” is conspicuous for his enduring love for chemistry. His wavy blond hair and crowded car have made him very popular. Fred- die has hopes of becoming a first- rate mechanic after graduation and we hope he succeeds as well as he did in his portrayal of Ham” in the Senior play. SCHEIDEL, DANIEL EDWARD Danny Boy” Pensive, unassuming, Dan has be- come liked by all for his justness and generosity. Danny Boy is known for his fondness for food and sports. SCHNEPF, CONSTANCE Con” Badminton; basketball. Pretty hair, well-chosen clothes, gay temperament, and willingness to help on any committee make Connie very popular among the Seniors. Although she is planning to be a secretary after graduation her ambition is to become a de- signer, and with her artistic talent she should succeed. SCHWARZ, CONRAD J. Connie” Musical Comedy 4; Traffic Squad 4; Fire Squad 4; Comet” News- paper Staff; Comet” Yearbook Staff 4. This witty Senior shows a love for acting and Spanish. Connie” will always be remembered for his Hy’ya Sadie” and his portrayal of Ham Ellers” in the Senior play. The ideal hall cop, Connie” will surely succeed as a teacher or an architect.
