SE IDRS STEVE KOTZAR Steve, one of the tallest seniors, was one of the few boys who took the commercial course. He could usually be seen trotting around the halls with his buddies, Al, and Zayac, teasing all the girls they encountered. He was an active mem- ber of the chorus and the Commercial Club for several years. Steve's plans for the future are indefinite, although he would like to use his commercial training. IOE KOVACH Ice, as he was known to all, was another com- mercial student. He belonged to the Body Guard gang who went up and down the halls seeing what girls they could pick on next to tease. Ioe played football for the team and was a letterman for two years. He attended the school parties and seemed to enjoy them all. Ioe's plan for the fu- ture is to join the navy.

KATHLEEN KRIVAK Kacy as she is known by all of her friends was the cute lass who hailed from the metropolis of Central City.

Kacy was one of Shade's peppy chpeerleaders and was all out for her team to win. Her plans for the future are to go away and work. EDWARD KUSHNER Kush was rather a quiet boy when strang- ers were at hand, but he kept his friends laugh- ing continuously. He enjoyed driving his father's Dodge and worked in the bottling works in his spare time. Kush took the commercial course. He plans to take over a full-time iob with his father after graduation. His typing and shorthand should come in handy in the future. SARA IANE LOHR Rugged as she was called by her close friends had a pleasing personality.

SE IDRS Q r ALPHONSE LONGUILLO Al was the short, dark-haired boy with a ready smile for all. His pleasing personality made him a favorite of both the students and the teach- ers. He showed real school spirit in his four years at Shade, for he attended nearly all the school parties and games. His closest pals were Ioe Kovach and Steve Kotzar. He was an active member of the mixed chorus. DAVID LOW Deitz , although one of the real heavyweights in the senior class, never allowed his weight to interfere with his nearly lollofo attendance at every Shade activity. When Eddie Chupek, Dave's best friend, received his crippling injury in the fall of 1948, he devoted his leisure time to try to bright- en Ed's stay in the hospital. He was a manager of the football team for two years, and is a true sports enthusiast. ELLEN LOW Ellen was the pretty lass from Central City. While in Shade she took the commercial course, but switched to the general course in her senior year. An ardent supporter of school activities, she joined the Shade cheerleading squad and made the varsity during her senior year. She also was a member of the mixed chorus and a prompter for the senior one-act play. Her special friends were Mert, Marie, and Mona. ALBERT MCKOLOSKY Shorty walked to school every morning from Number One. His chief interest was athleti:s and although too small to play football he went out for basketball and made up in spirit and drive what he lacked in height. He played varsity bas- ketball his senior year. He also was student man- ager of the football team and a member of the varsity S Club. His determination on the basket- ball court carried over into everything he at- tempted. IOHN MEKIS Bee-Bee Eyes hailed from Reitz No. 4 and took the shop course. He was fond of music and sang with the mixed chorus for several years, and was a familiar sight at all parties and ath- letic events. His closest pal was Daz Hook and Iohnny Fleck. This trio spent most of their time driving around in Fleck's car. As a part-time job, Iohn delivered milk for a local dairy. RUBY MELE Rube was one of the prettiest senior girls, and was talented as well. She had a lovely voice which made her a valuable asset to both the mixed chorus and girls' ensemble. She was chos- en to sing in the All-County and Central Western choruses. Ruby, in addition to being an honor student for four years, found time to take part in dramatics. Where Ruby went, there went Mary too.
