ROSE MARIE DI PIETRO “Spook- Yearbook Staff 4; Tenni»; Softball; Hockey. Rose is noted for her friendliness, dependability, red hair, and spark line: brown eyes.

JOHN ECONOPOULY “Moe” Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play 4; President of Alpha Society 4; President of Stu- dent Co-operative Association; President of Class 3B. Among the many accomplishments of this dark, good-looking senior called “Moe,” two are outstanding. In his senior year Johnny was elected president of both the Alpha Society and the Student Co-opera- tive. John will also be remembered for his part in the Senior Play and his skill in various sports as well as his way with the girls. FRANCIS FAY “Frank” Local Honor Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Na- tional Honor Society 3, 4; Empire Boys' State 3; Revue 2; Yearbook Staff 4; Camera Club 4. This tall, handsome fellow is the 49’ers pride and joy. To list all of his honors in this write-up would be out of the question. To see a product of Frank’s handiwork, take a look at our snapshot pages. We hope to hear great things about you in the future, Frank. THOMAS FELLENZ “Tommy” Track; Hall Cop 4. Tommy has been a definite asset to our class. How could we ever have done without his pleasant hello each day and his answers in history class? Tom has plans to attend Villanova College, where he will undoubtedly become a track star. Best of everything to one of the best—Tom. ARTHUR FREDERICKS “Art” Football 1, 2; Honor Society 1. “ART,” that beloved comic of last year's History class, is an unfor- gettable part of the Class of '49. Everything he tackles seems to be as easy to him as rolling off a log. We know that “Art” has a special interest in dogs, and so we are sure he’ll make himself a name as vet- erinarian. Calling Dr. Fredericks! BARBARA GAGNON “Bobby” Yearbook Staff 4. Bobby wants to become a secre- tary. As a result she is doing a lot of reading. She also likes archery and has a lot of fun reading about popular music composers. Thanks a lot Connecticut for letting us have such a swell girl!

She has proved herself a true friend and a wonderful person to know. Comet” Newspaper Staff 4; Year- book Staff 4; Archery; Ping Pong. Since Nancy came here in her jun- ior year she has whizzed through her studies with ease. If you look at her third finger, left hand, you will know what she plans to do with her future. WILLIAM DeVINE Billy” Baseball 1. 2, 3, 4. What makes those eyes so divine? Maybel-line?? They are evident- ly expressive enough for we rarely hear a peep out of him; however, out on the baseball diamond you can hear his fast ball whip into the mitt of the catcher as the opposing batter strikes out—or maybe the crack of his mighty bat as he sin- gles home the winning run. VALENTINE DEXTER “Val” Football; 2nd string All-Scholas- tic”; President of Home-room 4; Student Co-operative Association 4; Hall Cop 4. If you had gone to any of Hicks- ville High’s football games you couldn’t have missed the charging, fighting, powerful form of Val.” Indispensable is what his buddies on the team call him and with his background as President of his home-room he could go far as an executive. ARTHUR DHOM “Art” Arthur is that dark, curly-haired senior pictured above. Art” has been the mainstay of one of the Hicksville delicatessens. His many friends admire his sarcastic wit and his extreme friendliness. We’ll all miss “Art” after graduation, but we know he’ll achieve any suc- cess he may desire.

FLORENCE GROMUS “Flo” “Flo,” who is one of the most so- phisticated girls in the class, has always kept us guessing about her boy friends. “Flo” graduated in January and is now working at the bank. We've missed her pleasant voice and her dancing in the gym at noontimes. JOYCE GORLAND “Joy Senior Play 4; Twirler, 3, 4; Hall Cop 4; Revue 3, 4.
