Born in Brooklyn, Mrs. Kathryn Browne's greatest pleasure is knowing many people, particularly well behaved children. She prefers drawing and painting to any other subject and spends much of her leisure time doing art work. Traveling is one of Mrs. Browne's favorite pastimes and she also enjoys attending fashion shows although she rarely purchases any- thing. She believes that the graduating class is fully aware of the value of education and advises, Always have fine ideals and reach for the highest in all of your endeavors. Born and brought up in the fair neighborhood of Benson- hurst, Mrs. Vivian Greenfield proudly reveals that she has been an inhabitant of this section all her life. Like many Lafayetteites she attended P.S. l28, but then continued her education at New Utrecht. Mrs. Greenfield's favorite hobby is playing with her pet parrakeet who has become quite pop- ular with her sten and typing students due to his frequent habit of chewing up their test papers. l 4 ll Mrs. Betsy Antin Gross was born in Brooklyn New York .

anybody, here's Aronoff, and his buddy, Tish Silver. says hiya. Very pop- ular program. They've got some stiff competition, though, since Connie Grasso and Claire Teitler teamed up on another comedy program. Say, What's all that confetti? Oh, it's not confetti. You say that Leo Durocher has been tearing up Billy Handel's column, Manhandling Sports ? l-landel's been ra ing over old embers eh? Durocher buys the Chronic every day just to rip u his column. The only time he doesn't is when one of Irwin Scherago's stories' is on the other side. Then he burns it. Talk about sports columns, did you see Ronny Ellman's Writeup on the World Soccer Championship? Brooklyn came in first, sparked, by guys like Ioe DiPace. Ioe Aniano. Vinnie Palmieri. and Stan Fertman. Ed Moser is running a series of articles on the psychologi- cal results of Basketball-does it stimulate growth? lt's a tough question, with tall stars like Sal Bonaiede and Vinny Zoda contrasted to more compact hoopsters like Rollo DiRossi and Tony Glorioso. The Womens Pages of these newspapers are interesting. Ianet Sloan and Bea Erich write for the Chronic and Marie DiCapua and Flo Perlmutter for the Manner. Their pages are full of political stories about Sally Gurissi. 21st district, and Ioan Cirrincione. l7th district. Their mail is handled by secre- taries Ellen Lombardo and Doris Sagman. It was never like this back in the liiteenth century. Women knew their places then, and didn't got around pro- ducing hit shows. Rachael Abadi's smash hit about bargain counters, What Price Gory. is being directed by Rosalie Dayton and is being produced by Ioan Goldsampt. The all-female cast stars Carol Iucci, Ioy Betty. Zena Fracler, and Harriet Feinstein. with the singing role handled by Carmela Pirotta. At least the magazine industry is still topped by men. Take this maga- zine now, it makes easy reading, it's full of pictures. Probably editor Stan Zuckerman can't read and publisher Irwin Parrish can't write. lt's got a nice name though- Strife -The Illustrated Magazine. Among the things that keep up the circulationl is the column What Needle Should Have Known, by Paul Koreto. lt's so very interesting because folks remember when he didn't even know what he shouldn't have. Striie also boosts subscription by featuring controversial topics of the day, like- Does E really equal MC2? I hear Donald Skwire has proposed the additional theory required to prove the subject-2 plus 2 equals 4. Tommy Palmenghi is claiming that he discovered it first, and called it the theory of the unjoined hypothesis-l plus l equals 2, resolving itself into finality by conclusion. A very sound state- ment, l imagine, but it can't be accepted until Iustice William Rindone de- clares it constitutional. Turning the pages of Suite I find pictures by Hal Scheits and Mark Lasser. staff photogs who just came back from the Interna- tional games. They have some pretty good shots here. There's Harvey Roth on the bench of the American team. He's a great manager, leading the team to the championship. A view of the grandstands reveals Pete Cacciaguida in the visiting dignitaries' box. lf only Mr. DiGrady were here. Chris, he'd say, I'm sorry I expelled you from Genoa Central. If I could live my life over. I'd still have you serving detention. Yes, those were the days. What's that you say? You want to see those photosl told you about? Tell you what l'm gonna do. For the small price of a five Lire . . . Nine

ttf i', I mae, 7750 'I 'W' After teaching in Lafayette since its construction, Mr. Leon Halpert still claims he chose the teaching profession because of his love for children and social studies. A graduate of C.C.N.Y., Mr. Halpert is also one of the charter members of Lafayette. His pet peeve is the student who sits while recit- ingr Teachers are human and their hands get tired motion- ing for students to rise when speaking. His advice to seniors: Not only think about yourselves, but your parents, your school, and the welfare of your community. Even While attending elementary school Mrs. Helen L. Hauptman had decided to become a teacher, and never fal- tered in that decision all through her school years. She knows of no more useful calling than that of assisting young people to find themselves, to develop their capabilities, and to select the fields of endeavor in which they Will most likely be successful and happy. It would be natural, then, that her pet peeve is a tergiversating senior. Mr Iulxus Iacobs left Brooklyn, his hometown, after gradu- ating from Boys High, and continued his education at City College and Columbia University. Today, playing with his children is his favorite pastime, while athletics, music and reading help to keep him occupied. His pet peeve is the individual who lacks a sense ot responsibility. In keeping with this, Mr, Iacobs believes that seniors should turn their talents, their energies and their creative abilities toward making this atomic era one of peace and growth. Eleven
