ROBERT FRACKENPOHL This scientifically-minded youn man, to be seen in Room 211 after school defving deeper into the mysteries of chemistry, is none other than Bunsen burner Bob. He can easily be identified because he is surrounded by a maze of retorts, flasks, and tubing involved in some complex experiment of his own concoction. Far from having a one-track mind, at one time or another, Bob has been an ardent participant in such widely varied activities as Rifle Club, Physics Club, and Photography Club. In addition, his clear tenor voice has contributed much to the Chorus and Boys' Glee Club during the past year. GINO A. FRATE Having motor trouble? Brakes clon't work? No, don't get a new car. See Gino first. Chances are that Dr. Frate can diagnose the trouble in a matter of seconds. In autoshop Gino usually spends his time discussin the finer points of the new cars or sometiing of a similar technical aspect. In line with his interests in cars, Gino is a gas station attendant in his spare hours. Aside from the mechanical pursuits, Gino is a participant in the Hunting and Fishing Club. MAHLON VAN RENSSELAER FREEMAN One of the more quiet members of the Class of '48, Mahlon is well-known as a trigger-terror on the Rifle team. A rather serious-minded individual, Mahlon's persever- ance and determination earned him a football letter last year. In Varsity Club he remained calm during even the most heated debates, while as a stage technician his competence was hard to match. Despite his reserve, his many friends attest to his readiness to hear or relate a good story. Nlahlon will certainly be remembered to his classmates as one of the most well-rounded personalities of our class. GORDON EDWARD FREUND Gordon's abilities are brought into action in various fields. As the handsome and likable Tony in the Senior Play he really threw him- self into his part. His side interests include Chemistry Club and Physics Club, as well as membership on the MILLXVHEEL Staff. llis chief' hobbies, however, are his camera and his car. lle is most fre uently seen adjusting his ignition system or dhasing about with his trusty camera and spare film box, searching for interesting-looking victims for l7reund's Fotos.

RUSSELL NORMAN FIELD As Donald in the Senior play, Norm will alwa s be thought of in connection with pickled pigs feet. No matter how busy he is, he always finds time to stop to relate some humorous anecdote. Known to Mr. Esler's physics class and the Physics Club as Russ,' this senior was a physicist extra- ordinary. His extracurricular activities in- clude the Forum Club, Drama Club, and International Relations Club. His friendli- ness and conversational ability will assure him of success in any walk of life and of making a never-ending stream of friends for him. MARVIN SANDFORD FISH Who could forget Marv's superb portrayal of the unforgettable Kolenkhov C Confiden- tially, it steenks! j in You Can't Take It with You ? Who could miss that booming bass harmonizing so perfectl in the Mill- bumaires' double quartet Ctfie same voice which won for him a place in the All-State Chorus three years consecutivelyj? Who has not seen Marvin givin out with his clarinet or handling some probim of high finance for the band? Very few, assuredly, for Marv has established a most enviable record, not only as an actor and musician, but as an honor student as well. MARSHAL KENNETH FISI-IBEIN Marshal can most often be found pursuing his interests in the field of nature. He gained a great deal of varied experience by owning several animals. Marshal hopes to continue the type of work he did in the 4-H Club b eventually delving into the field of scientific agricultural research. For diversion he was a member of the Senior Chorus, the Student Recreation Council, and a diligent art worker. His hobbies will undoubtedly be an asset to Marsh as he prepares to aid nature's growth by scientific processes. RUTH EDITH FORTUNE Rutb's favorite pastime is drivin her new green Dodge around town and usually giving someone a ride. She is known for her friendly manner which the fellows and girls admire. She is Mr. Cherin's very able secretary. Her spare time is spent writing letters and knittin argyle socks. Ruth, besides being talented in makin argyles, is also talented in dramat- ics, for sge E3 ed the comedian in Fireman Save My C ilciiu After graduation she ex- pects to be working as a secretary.

FREDERICK F RIEDMAN So round, so lirm, so fully packed -the widely acclaimed Barrel really personilies this slogan. Long to be remembered for his lighting spirit on the gridiron, Fred's por- trayal ol' King llerod in the 1946 Christmas play is also noteworthy. Fred manages to work Art Club, Drama Club, art work for the ANlll.l.XX'lllil'Il., and Varsity Club into a well-rounded schedule. lle received letters for his mana 'crial capacities on the basket- ball and baseiball team of 1947. l7red's good humor and quick wit are indeed a barrel ol' fun.
