WHO The origin ot that clean-cut l4id statement was FORREST LETZ- RING. Long-time wheel in the class ot '53, he was Jr. Class Pres. and Sr. Class Treasurer. Other claims to tame were stalced in athletics and Annual Statt. Top man on Kearny's totem pole was CHARLES HANSON, our A.S.B. President. This tabulous character headed our executive depart- ment, and was a member ot CSF. Whenever you were at Kearny, you heard the cry, I-lere comes Charlie. I-lole-in-one man on the Golt Team was NEIL REASONER. This man ot many talents was especially gitted in the musical and the literary tields. I-le participated in the Scribblers' Frolic, CSF, Bi-Chem-Phi, and Sr. Council. FREDERICK DAVID SCHWEND, sometimes alias Field Marshall, was one ot the most who in the Zoo's Who. Fred served as President ot the class ot '53 in the 7th, 8th, and I2th grades, and commissioner ot Boys' Athletics. Our all-around boy, HENRY SESMA, was really all around Kearny. Besides sports, he has contributed to Kearny and to the Senior Class on the Council and as a Rana. I-lanlc has a wry sense ot humor that Lil' Stevie lilced. Brain and brawn in one big package was GORDON STOL- ZOFF'S trademark. I-le was a member ot CSF, Ranas, and was Boys' State Representative. Big boy Gordon was a top man in basketball and football tor the Komets this Year. 'wre-

zoos Soothing qualities were apparent in FLORENCE BLACKNER'S per- sonality. Our blonde with brains not only was a lite member ot the CSF, but held down a part-time job. She lent a bit ot sunshine wherever she went. Smilin' Jack has nothing o-n her. JACKIE BREWER, the sense ot humor attached to a girl, was worthy ot a Zoo's Who listing. Name a club, and you'll tind Jackie sparked it with her ever-lasting vitality. l-ler senior year was spent as a lithe and lirnber cheerleader. i Like whipped cream and Billy May, MARGARET FOISIY was smooooth. She ironed out clitticulties as Vice-Prexy ot the Girls' League and Senior Council Member. Besides participating in many clubs, Mar- garet did some high stepping as a majorette. NINA HULL is definitely on the angelic side, as she must have been sent trom l-leaven to be a star in Kearny's activities. Nina's most out- standing achievements were head songleader, Diana Prexy, Girls' State Representative, and CSF. Lil' Stevie would like to dedicate Big Boy to- THELMA LAWSON, because the place was always rocking when she was around. Thelma was head cheerleader, Prexy ot Beau Monde, a member ot Sr. Council, Dianas, and hailed trom the great State ot Texas. Executive to the nth degree is JO ANN MAUS. A born lead- er, she has used this ability as Colonel ot the Drill Team and Editor-in-Chief ot the '53 Komet. Jo Ann is as well kno-wn X tor her artistic talents as she is tor her varied activities.
