JOAN NORMAN Joan’s ability in sports and intelli- gence can never be forgotten. Her skill in basketball was missed when she graduated in January. Her name always appeared on the hon- or roll.

Every Spring he can be seen getting “in shape” for his favorite sport. Chet’s also a great teaser. There isn’t a girl in his classes who hasn't been the victim of his “ribbing.” JOHN PANASENY “Big John” Photography Club 4; Hall Cop 4; Fire Squad 4; Track 3; Football 4. Johnny is the camera bug w’ho could always be seen taking pic- tures for our memory scrapbook. As we passed to our classes, he stood as a hall cop keeping us in line. Everyone wants to be his friend. He is very well-liked by his fellow graduates and all under- classmen alike. LeROY PARR “Will” Here’s the entertainer of our class- es. He takes nothing seriously and speeds through his studies without the least worry. We've heard ru- mors that Will plans to go to col- lege. Best of luck, Will, and take it easy on the gals. WILLIAM PROH1NSIE “Billy” Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play Pub- licity 4; Yearbook Staff 4; Revue 4. The joker of the class, Billy can always be depended upon to come up with some amusing trick. Well- known as an important member of the Band, Bill will also be remem- bered for his riotous performance of “The Shmoo” in the Senior play. No one ever has a dull time when Bill is around.

Minerva is a quiet, blonde gal whom we would like to know bet- ter. As can be seen by her achieve- ments in the Honor Societies she has plenty of brains behind that shy smile. The business world will make good use of this blonde miss. JOAN MURRAY “Jomnie” Hall Cop 4; Local Honor Society; Yearbook Staff 4. To people who don't know' her, Joanie appears like a shy little kit- ten who is content in only rolling her big, brown eyes at us.

She is a great cheerleader, an unforgettable Ed- itor of our newspaper, a grand rep- resentative on Macy’s Jr. Deb Board, and definitely an asset to our class!

MILDRED QUARESIMO Mildred is a shy girl whom we don't know much about However, we do know that she has a pleasing personality, a friendly smile and is a favorite among her friends. Mildred is planning to enter the business field and we wish her plenty of luck. JOAN ROEWER Local Honor Society; National Honor Society 4; Senior Play 4. Joan became a member of our class in the last part of our sophomore year. Few people know of the jo- viality of this seemingly quiet girl, but behind that chewing gum lies a brain which dotes on chemistry and perhaps history, too! One of our few working girls, Joan in- tends to stay with her present em- ployer after graduation. ELLEN REDDING Ellen and personality are syno- nyms, for that's just what she has plenty of . . . personality. She spent part of her high school days in Arizona; our only regret is that she didn’t spend every bit of her four years with us. Good luck, Ellen!

Barbara has always been very con- scientious about her subjects, and her studying has not been in vain, for she has reached the goal of Salutatorian. She is quiet but friendly and is always willing to help out. Any job given to her is done well. We know she'll be as successful when she leaves H.H.S. as she is now. MARILYN REDDY Marilyn may seem quiet to people who don’t know her, but get her with the gang and her true, viva- cious personality shines through. That flaming red hair curling around her face gives her a queen- ly appearance. Best of luck, Marilyn!

She plans to go to college and become a Spanish teacher.
