XI1-29 DOREEN SPEECHLY Going My Way. Doreen is the second half of the Dual Alliance Doreen and Olga. She is com¬ monly known as Speechless”— everything happens in that Chemistry lab. SALLY STERN Tess’s Torch Song. Seldom seen in class, the mainstay of the business end of the Torch, Sally’s pockets always jingle, jangle, jingle with Torch money —it should be a success. ELIZABETH STOROZUK Can’t Help Singing. Elizabeth was one of the lasses who Climbed Over Rocky Moun¬ tains a la Gilbert and Sulli¬ van, and cut” a pretty figure doing it—Where’s the band-aid? BILL “HUBBA HTJBBA” TAYLOR A basketball player of good standing and an ardent member of the 26 Q-balls. We don’t know what he does on Friday nights, but he has been seen with a lovely Zuke” suit. DIANE TEARE “Mighty Lak A Rose.” Hard¬ working Diane occasionally goes to Lac du Bonnet for a Lost Weekend. After she sold us opera tickets, our room sored” to dizzy heights. GEORGE TOMCEJ A past president of the school and known around the room as ‘Fleet Air Arm” Tomcey. By the way, George, what name have you got tattoed across your brawny arm? JACK JAKE” WATER WORTH When he’s not playing tennis or skiing or canoeing. Jack still finds time to attend several classes per week. Jack’s favorite saying— Yes, but Miss McCord.” FRANK WOODMASS Noted for his models and his studious nature which is rarely found in this room, to say the least. Seldom misses more than two days every week. ANDREW LUTZ A camera addict and a “candid” student if there ever was one. Rumor has it that he bathes in developer. Could that be, Andy? Has decided opinions on socials, student government and Maths, teachers. JOYCE BAWDEN Joyce has a one-track mind and there are usually boys running on it. And when there aren’t, there’s the opera or festival. JOE BERMAN Greater love for air cadets hath no man. Joe is a great all round” fellow. MORRIS BRODER A shock of hair, a friendly grin, a huge book and a little guy make up our Morris. BOB BURNS We predict Bob’s future: a trainman—plain loco with no motive. His passion for Chem¬ istry, curling and cuties ought to get him farther than that, though. MAXINE CARTER If we can’t remember her name its only because we know her beauty and accomplishments will soon compel her to change it. JACK CHMELNITSKY Jack occasionally shocks Miss Cummings by leering at her from behind a three-day-old beard. When he comes out of hiding, though, Jack is very amiable. EDITH CHODORCOVE Anyone from 29 reading this column, and who else would read it, is reading it because of Edith’s perseverance as Torch rep. This perseverance also helps Edith curl with the boys. CLARICE COHEN Thinking is one of the most contagious ailments to which Clarice is exposed. Violently afflicted, she can be recognized by a far-off, rapt expression, and is heralded by an amazing vocabulary. SHIRLEY COHEN Volleyball star, opera lead, vice- president of the room, excellent hurdler, festival winner, and not only that, she’s a good kid. Page Sixteen

LAURENCE HAMLIN DICK McCALLUM It’s not that Laurence is per- Swonderful when Dick and Ken sistent, it’s just that he won’t put their heads together and take no for an answer. Has render a ballad, and we do mean many interests in school, none render. Another studious gent of which are academic. Most who will most likely go far. of them concern a four letter word beginning with “g”. JOYCE HOLT I’ll Be Seeing You. Although Joyce is a member of the Limpy Tribe, she finds no difficulty in trapping the tardy for late-slips. So long Teacher, remember how those Ravens can Court! JIM HRYNOSKI Second in command of the good ship 26. Concentrates in school, or so it seems, and is a constant attender at Tech, socials. ADAM HUCHKO We don’t know who his “Eve” is, and he doesn’t raise “Cain,” but he’s still an “Abel’’ fellow is Adam. Somehow, he manages to profit by using the study periods. LEONA KLEMCHUK No Can Do—are words not found in Leona’s vocabulary. As star slapper-on of make-up she wields a neat puff and also obtains neat marks for curricu¬ lar activities. ED. LEIER One of the original Morse Place boys. You know, Morse Place, that suburb of Fort William. A shining star on the hockey rink, but do you always carry your audience to the games, Ed? BELLA LITVAK All or Nothing At All usually “All” in her case. The way she packs those A’s is a constant boon to low-mark weary teachers. ESTHER LUDWIG All the Things You Are. Esther’s name should be changed to Nightingale — not only did she warble in the opera, but her ambition is to become Danny Kaye’s private nurse. SHEILA MacTAVISH Juke-Box Saturday Night. Ogden Nash’s ‘‘No MacTavish Was Ever Lavish” doesn’t apply to Sheila, our Crumb Com¬ mittee expert, and our ever- smiling secretary who extracts money from unheeding inmates. GORDON McKONE One student who doesn’t con¬ form to regulations. He never skips more than two classes per day. Our rule book states as follows: Each student must miss at least four classes per day. WALLEY OLE ' NSKY Wally is better than a Wurlitzer. You don’t even need a nickel to get a song. Will probably be noted by our class, “The man most likely to—” There were no goals scored against him in our soccer nets. DENNIS PEDESHUK An accomplished mimic of a certain English teacher, he works hard in school and opera. Dennis and Wally are usually in stitches over some joke which no one can discover. STELLA POBEREZNY Bells of St. Mary. Stella con¬ stantly amazes the class with her sixty-four dollar words. She is a member of the noontime volleyball club—Hobby in our Lobby. JACQUELINE RICE A Tisket, a Tasket, I Got a Little Basket—Basketball fans remember how important Jac- quie’s baskets were. How she learned so much Chemistry looking over her left shoulder is unbelievable. GEORGE ROMANSON How Paul Robeson must envy him! He will never make a student of languages, but could succeed in Maths, if a certain professor wouldn’t ‘ make him think. ETTIE RUBINFIELD O, What It Seemes To Be. Ettie, our little bundle of Sugar ’n Spice, delighted Miss Thomp¬ son by being the only one in the class to have her essays completed. DON SANDIFORD Tech’s “Golden Boy.” “Sandy” is a basketball and soccer star. It is said he wishes to acquire a French accent a la Charles Boyer in order to charm a cer¬ tain Boyd Ave. “Miss.” Page Fifteen

VIRGINIA DANCHUK First in beauty, first in brain, but last in the room at nine A.M. MOSES DIMENTBERG In school this young man’s fancy turns to what most kids turn to near the end of June—namely work. We recently uncovered a sense of humor that he has been hoarding away. CECIL FELDMAN Cecil is well equipped to assume grave responsibilities. Ultimate fate: funeral director. Like a battery he is everready with a joke. HARRY FENSON You would never say that Harry isn’t a good student and a popu¬ lar kid. (You wouldn’t because Harry is bigger than you). MAURICE FRANKEL Maurice has the right approach to school—he doesn’t approach it. When he does he favors chemistry and Air Cadets. PATRICIA GOLDEN Pat can do wonders at the key¬ board, but she admits that at school she’s all “Maxed” up. PHYLLIS GORELICK Phyllis almost went nuts trying to have the last words with her echo. Ambition: to teach and Hope: to marry. MIKE HEIMBACK Mike has achieved a degree of notoriety by the simple process of keeping quiet and working. ROSS HENDERSON Ross’s appetite must be in some way connected with the enor¬ mous amount of energy he pos¬ sesses. He is a rugby player, curler, track star, co-editor of the Torch, brilliant student and opera lead. NORMAN HILL President of the school, presi¬ dent of the class (?), captain of the rugby team, basketball, hockey and baseball player, cur¬ ler, golfer, singer, scholar, poet and kibitzer de-e-luxe. ALICE HOGG The only serious reflecting Alice does is when she is before a mirror, but there, of course, she has something to reflect upon. MAX JACOBSON An example of the virtues of homework and study. Mac is making his first million by drawing inflationary wages from the C.O.T.C. (5c per hour.) MAX KLEIN Alias “Frederick” (Pirates of Penzance). Our dashing, ro¬ mantic tenor. We know that piano lessons are necessary for a singer but Max, not more than two lessons a week. ARNICE KOZACK Chuna’s ambition is to become a teacher and from the way she has been teaching some of the students maths., no doubt she will make the grade. A good looking teacher, too. JULIUS LISTER Minuk’s shadow or vice versa. An unusual one, though, for he brings sunshine into the class. What wonderful philosophy on life he must have! Keeps a scrap book of late slips. RUTH JOY LOCKSHIN Beauty, brains (and a beast hidden somewhere). Joy felt a “moral duty” and would have rescued Frederick but the girls wouldn’t let her go. (They needed her in the soprano sec¬ tion.) WALTER LONE Strong, silent type. A blessing to all the teachers. Keeps the ball rolling in class with all his questions. Did we say silent? FAY MATLIN Our petite co-editor of the Tech Review. Also co-editor of the first term Tech’s Text. She has done a swell job. A remark overheard from one of Room 29’s boys, “She’s pretty.” Page Seventeen
