XII-17 XII-17 SID BAKALINSKY Our “Johnny - come - lately” snooker boy. He can usually be heard saying, “Hey, Barry! I just saw Eunice,” followed by a few breath-taking gymnastics with his big brown eyes. MICHAEL BALITSKY Modest, good-humored, Mike is surveying prospective methods of the old hickory cane as a teacher of the three r’s; also finds time for the navy and beating 40 in basketball. HELEN BLIGHT Elizabeth Arden has no claim to credit for Helen’s stop-light complexion. (She uses Pond’s). As room secretary, she’s Miss Thompson’s do-this-do-that con¬ tortionist. EILEEN BRODOVSKY Shorty’s theme is “Onesie, two- sie, I love (?) Gruszie.” Ambi¬ tion is to give the chemistry text new life with her modern¬ ized theories. Also has the answer to the inevitable Romeo and Juliet question re — star- crossed lovers. MARY CHOPP Our Florence Nightingale is perhaps the only sane member of Padded Cell No. 17. Maybe she’s here to become better acquainted with the peculiar¬ ities of the human brain, before she begins nurse’s training. SHIRLEY ELHATTON Elhatton (her grandfather was a toreador) is too busy with sports to pay any attention to love-smitten Louis. Still re¬ tains the characteristic blush of old Espagne, tho’. AARON FREEDMAN Humor unlimited glibly flows through XII-17. The source, Aaron Freedman, who else? Aaron is a bell-bottom enthus¬ iast; his other love—his store. “Pleeze, meester, don’ sguisa d’ banan.” JEAN FREMMING Jean’s cavortings on the basket¬ ball floor aren’t enough, she has to stuff rabbit food to tame her wayward avoirdupois, Danny Kaye’s rival, only Jeannie’s more so. CORNELIA GAYOWSKY Music, sports, art all come so easy to Corny. She must have iron filings instead of nerve fibres. Her ivory beating “a la Rachmaninoff” made her a fes¬ tival winner. Page Twelve HARRY GILMAN Harry was a Tiger; he not only warmed the bench, but played, and good . Also a member of XII-17 basketball champs. An all around sport, and one that can take a joke. MORLEY GORSKY Morley’s height varies directly as the length of the components of his vocabulary. Also has a morbid sense of humor—goes to practical chem. armed with gas mask, D.D.T., etc. Our gift to the U.N.O. LOUIS HASKELL “Shirley” you know Louis, that modest young man of XII-17. Hard working? He’s doing three years German in three-quarters of a year, and passing too. Here’s one student worthy of success. ADELINE HACKIE Another of Mr. Grusz’s devoted (?) fans and 17’s Deadpan Dinah. Gilbert and Sullivan was a little out of her “blues-y” line but she did her bit for them anyway. MARION HOLLIDAY This is no “Review,” everyone knows that witty writer and puppy love expert is Marion. Her sweet (?) voice and irre¬ sistible pt?rsonality rated high in opera and festival. Marion has dreams! DON HUTCHISON Because he’s 17’s sports rep., we can’t begin to tell him how much he means to us (in more ways than one.) He’s even got Johnson’s freckles. LEONARD KARP Affectionately known as Feubar, Len is a “dead eye Dick” with a running shoe. He’s noted also as one of our literati, hav¬ ing been know to get two con¬ secutive “B” averages. MORRIS KATZ Every inch a classic-lover, and boy, that’s a lot of love. Katz is our all - round businessman. (Thank goodness there’s enough of him to go around.) Very amiable, too; calls everyone “lotus blossom”. LILY KARLINSKY Lily has everything, and does everything, too. And believe me, when she opens her mouth, she reveals more than two strips of Stephen’s white enamel. The gal’s a walkin’ philosopher.
