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.
