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 ROTTKAMP Salutatorian; Local Honor Society 1, 2, 3, 4; National Honor Society 3, 4; Hall Cop 4; Student Forum; President of Drivers’ Club. 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! LORRAINE SCHEINER Lorraine, one of our three-and-a- half-year students, is interested in modeling. Quite good in volley ball and basketball, she is always seen playing in the gym. She plans to go to college and become a Spanish teacher.

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. We know she’ll make a success out of her life. UNA O’HAGAN “Ho»h” Local Honor Roll 1, 2; Musical Comedy 1; Operetta 2, 3, 4; Bas- ketball 4; Glee Club 1. 2, 3. 4; Voice Class 4; Senior Play 4; Vice- President Junior Class 3. Here’s a pert miss with unique beauty. The dimples in her rosy cheeks and that infectious smile have claimed the admiration of many. CHESTER OWEN “Chet” Baseball is the main interest in Chet’s life. 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.

BARBARA SCHIESS “Bobbie” Volleyball; Basketball; Softball; Tenni»; “Comet” Newspaper Staff; Hall Cop; Senior Play. Our own cute “Bobbie,” a success as the giggling: Suzette of “A Lucky Penny,” has endeared her- self to everyone she knows. Her charming smile and her marvelous clothes, not to mention her “gray matter,” will certainly prove assets in whatever she decides to make her career. ERNST SEALANDER “Ernie” Ernie is tall, blond, and definitely Navy-bound. We will always re- member Ernie for his witty re- marks and the blush which follow them. A future Kings Point cadet “Ernie” is sure to make a captivat- ing ensign. WILLY SEALANDER Treasurer of Alpha Society 4; Vice-President of Leather Club. Voted the friendliest boy in the class and treasurer of the Alpha Society, Willy has great things in store for himself in the field of mechanical drafting. Some day, after Willy graduates from Farm- ingdale Technical School, we will probably have to fight our way through the crowds to get a ride on his new plane. RAYMOND SHEA “Ray” Band 3, 4; Glee Club 1; Revues 3, 4. Track 2, 3, 4; Ray never sees the unhappy side of anything; he is always ready to contribute a humorous remark. Hi3 entrance to the band brought many looks of surprise, but they turned to admiration when Ray developed an outstanding versatility on the tuba. JOHN SHLONSKY “Shell” Shell’s enormous capacity for wit defies his size. As he nonchalantly strolls through the halls he has a cheery “hi!” for everyone. All in all he’s fun to have around. We all join in wishing him a life that’s filled to the brim with good things. JEAN SMALL “Jeanie” Here’s a petite miss who has won her way into the hearts of us all. Her winning smile and gay person- ality have claimed the attention of many. With all these attractions is it any wonder that Jeanie has already been claimed by one of our handsomest underclassmen? Good luck to you, Jeanie.
