THE ORIFLAMME CHARLOTTE BALAJTHY Sarge B Naturalsg Glee Club: Twirlers Club: Tune Twisters. Perhaps to some people this little Miss may seem quiet, but just wait till you get her going. She'll dance your feet oFf and sing you to sleep with her nightingalc voice. One thing we regret is that her talented voice was only discovered this year. She is what you'd call the ideal high school girl, blessed with beauty, gifted with talent, and mobbed with friends. She will always bring a ray of sunshine wherever she goes. A mbilinn: N azfy 31 95 JOHN BASSETT jack Jack is a newcomer to S.R.H.S. He entered school in September-migrating from Brooklyn. At First no one knew him, but he made friends very quickly and is now one of the gang. Jack has a pleasing personality and is a great chap. His ambition is to enlist in the Navy and volunteer for submarine duty. XVith these ambitions he has a hard road to climb but he's a hard worker and is sure to obtain his goal. V Ambition: Navy B! 126 MARIE BEATTIE Red Glee Club: Captain's Club, Tune Twisters, Play Night. Take wit, multiply it by ready laughter. divide it by a happy-go-lucky Irish disposition, and who do you have but Marie. VVhenever fun and devilment are called for, Marie can be counted on to provide it. Any funny story told in her distinctive manner will help to give your spirits a lift, anytime, as she always has a new joke on the tip of her tongue. Am Xzizion: Navy Nurse Q 95 4 5 GEORGE BLONSKY RafTerty junior Prom Committee, Boy's Glee Clubg Bandg Color Guard 35 Basketballg First Aid Squadg Play Night. George has the uncanny gift of saying the wrong things in Chem class-much to the delight of Mr. Shay who has the uncanny gift of swinging his pipe at the right time. To be happy, gay, and carefree is George's philosophy of life, and it seems to be working all right. Friendly and easy-going, George is the type who always has time to talk about the weather.

THE ORIFI-AMME 9.-A 'us L Page eighteen ALVIN ADLER Alvin's interests seem to lie somewhere other than in these halls of learning. Once the 3 o'clock bell rings, he can be seen rushing to board the bus for home. It is rumored that he would rather hunt and fish in the wilds of Little Texas than spend too much time in South River High School. His easy-going way and his love of a good joke make Alvin well-liked by those who get to know him. Ambition: Mechanic 32 W CLARENCE ALEXANDER Clary Oriflamme Boardg Class Vice-Presidentg Fire W3FdCllQ Baseballg Operetta. Remember Clarence Alexander as the bashful, pint- sized Freshman who came to our school four years ago? It doesn't seem possible that the good-looking, well-dressed Senior, who is admired by many girls, could answer a description like that! But it's true. Brains, talent, and ability have made Clary what he is today-a Senior popular with everyone, a true leader, and a sincere worker. With all these traits, Clary will undoubtedly climb the ladder of success with ease. Ambition: To meet Angelo B. Bertelli 34 235 JACOB BABICH Jake Everyone knows and likes Jake. He is shy and rather quiet, but you would have to go far to End a friendlier and more pleasant fellow. It is surprising that no girl has been caught by jake's blond hair and Hashing smile. The answer must be that Jake does not care much about girls. Jakels plaid shirt and saddle shoes mark him as one of our class fashion plates. Ambition: Airplane designer E! 55 PAUL BABICH Glee Clubg All-State Chorus 43 Baseball J.V. Did someone say they like the tall, handsome, silent type? Well, look no further, for Paul fits this de- scription to a HT . He is usually silent, and readily yields to blushing, much to his ambarrassment, but to the delight of the girls. If silence is golden, Paul must be rolling in money, but perhaps he believes that a pair of ears used in the right way can be much better than ten mouths all going at once. Ambition: Maehinirz 1 9 4 4

To slightly misquote an old proverb, The best things come i11 smaller packages . Pete is certainly a perfect example. Personality plus and that winning smile of his make him a hit wherever he goes. His speed and skill in a basketball game, as well as his specialty, set shots , make him an asset any basket- ball team would like to possess. As if this isn't enough for one person, his abilities on the baseball diamond do not fall short of his abilities on the basketball court. finzbizzmz: Army Air Corp: !! V3 HELEN BOSOY B Naturalsg Glee Club 4. Herels a girl with light blonde hair and a deep alto voice-what a combination! Helen was a worthy mem- ber of the B Naturals, and she certainly helped to keep things in tune. Besides singing, Helen may add to her list of accomplishments the ability of sitting in one position all during P.A.D. class. This is really unusual! You need only to speak to Helen to Find out that she is a very pleasant person to have around and a friend worth having. Amfzition: Typist Ei! MONROE BOWNE Mon', Bandg Photography Clubg Trumpet Staff. Monroe is a picture of placid content. Never count your chickens before they're hatched, but take things as they come along-this seems to be Monroe's formula for a happy, easy-going life, which is working well for him, even in Chem class. Monroe wants to become a doctor-a really great desire. The Class of '44 is behind you Monroe, wishing you success, and every- thing that goes with it. Amlwifiwz: Donor !! 92 NORA BRAUN Nora Captain's Club 25 Secretary of Captain's Club 1. If you are in the basement of the school, somewhere near the girls' Locker Room, around first period, and you hear a mournful, Oh Gee, Miss Dohm, do we have to dress? -that's Nora. Taking a quick look at her, you would say she was quiet and maybe a little serious, but if you take another look, you will see the hidden laughter and the ready sense of humor for which she is so well liked.
