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.

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.

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.

SEPLAVY, MARIE D. Manager Volleyball 1, 2; Manager Basketball 1, 2; Honor Roll 1, 2; Glee Club 1. Marie with her complicated per- sonality, seems to be the most sophisticated Senior girl.

SHENOCKA, MADELINE Badminton; Volleyball; Basket- ball; Baseball. This neat Senior has become known as the girl with the helping hand—for she has added to the success of numerous dances by her committee work.

A poet with many possibilities Marilyn has a fond- ness for writing. SMUTOK, WILLIAM “Willie” Firs Cqaad. Willie, quiet, reserved, and ini 1- ligent, is interested mostly in building modal airplanes, and we understand he is quite expert at it.

SOAVE, MARGUERITE “Marge” Sports 1, 2, 3; “Comet” Yearbook Staff; Library Club 4; Honor Roll 1, 2, 3. Marge is a girl with an exception- ally varied personality—a grand sense of humor, artistic talent, and ability to dance well, are her charming traits. Her manner ox movement corresponds well with her way of talking, for she always rushes through her speeches as if her life depended upon it. STAEHLE, WALTER “Muscles” Football 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Fire Squad 4; Honor Society 1, 2, 3, 4. Blond, brawny, brainy, Walter takes part in almost all our ac- tivities, social and athletic.
