KELLNER, JEANETTE “Jen” Glee Club; Band; Hockey; Musi- cal Comedy; National Honor So- ciety 4. A girl with a fine personality, Jean- nette is interested in sports, music, and college, and is always ready to put across any program. Every Senior will always remember how she went all out to sell tickets for the play. 5UCKARSKI, VINCENT We were very glad to welcome this ex-serviceman back to H. H. S. His soft, well-modulated voice lent great attraction to Macbeth. We also delighted in his stories of Us experience. in the navy. KERBS, EDITH “Ede” Horseback Riding Club; Yearbook Staff; Musical Comedy 1, 2, 3. “Ede” will soon enter the ranks of the attractive nurses at Kings County Hospital. Her ability to work hard and receive good marks at school and yet present a smil- ing face while serving a choco- late frappe has won her the title of one of our most popular and witty Seniors. WULFK1N, JOSEPH “Joe” We like this tall, gentlemanly Senior, so recently returned from the army. Joe is sincerely inter- ested in his studies; but we have been unable to un.over his am- bitions. KIKS, HARRY Fire Squad 4. Tall, dark and decidedly romantic, Harry has hopes of becoming one of those wonderful engineers who build the modern Brooklyn bridges. W ith his fancy car, Harry may be seen riding up and down Broadway after school hours near- ly every afternoon; in the near future he will probably be using it to ride to college. ZULKOFSKE, PHIL With his intense blue eyes and courtly manner, Phil seems to be able to “win friends and influen c people.” As a returned veteran, he has a fondness for the song, “M r- gie,” and an eye toward a future in business. KETTLES, JEAN A newcomer, Jean has interestei us because of the range of her interests. Writing and music rate high among her extra-curricular activities, while riding is her fa- vorite sport. Much traveled, she has seen many parts of both Am- ericas. Her goal is college for a journalism course.

WOLD, EARL “Slim” Football 2, 3; Glee Club 3, 4; Musical Comedy 4. Here’s a guy with a swell person- ality. He is well known for his sympathetic nature and willing- ness to help in any situation. These, added to his wavy brown hair and enthusiastic “hi-ya,” have made him a popular fellow among boys and girls alike, and one who will be missed by the lower class- men. Earl plans to become a press- man and the printing work of the school shop bears the mark of his skill. WROSZ, HELEN MARY “Slat.” “Comet” Yearbook Staff; “Comet” Newspaper Staff; Honor Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play; Library Club; Alpha Society Treasurer. Petite Helen, who dislikes tall girls who say “Why are you so short?”, came to us in our junior year and met with instant popu- larity because of her charm and gaiety. One of our best-dressed girls, her excellent taste was a big help in planning the yearbook. WYSOLOVSK1, MARIE Honor Roll 1, 2, 3, 4; Badminton; If you ever want to show your skill in badminton, don’t try it out on Marie, for she is certain to beat you. Equally hard to beat scholastically, she has been on the honor roll many times in her four years. Tall, blonde, and even-tem- pered, she is liked and admired by both teachers and students. YOUNGS, ROBERT “Y ang Imagine a tall, lanky boy, with a quaint sense of humor, indifference to studies and an interest in watch- ing baseball games—and you have Yang. With his desire to become a millionaire, Robert will certainly have an interesting future. ZEBLISKY, IRENE AGNES Quiet and considerate, her middle name ought to be “Thoughful.” That dark-haired girl always has her notebook up-to-date and is ever willing to loan it to any un- fortunate among her many friends. After graduation, Irene has hopes of securing a secretarial position— we know she’ll be as conscientious and sweet as ever. ZGLIESEKY, GERTRUDE “Gertie” Archery 3; Softball 2. Ever see a gal that’s everywhere fct one time? If you run across her, that’s Gertie. She’s a good bet for the team, and her infectious laugh is just w'hat the doctor ordered for keeping one in good spirits.

Peace of mind comes only to those who are true to themselves. Be true to others by fulfilling your obligations toward the rest of the world. Tolerance is a common word but it is not practiced enough. It’s up to everyone of us to see that the word and its meaning become a part of every American’s vocabulary and mode of life. In being true to ourselves and true to others we are fulfilling the ideals of our school. Your President, BETTY SZERBIAK
