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

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

a A4 mi . JENNIE MARGOLIS Another late-slip collector. G. Bernard Shaw’s admirer. But competing with Shaw is a Daniel Mac student. Favorite saying, “Wait until the examiners mark my English paper In June. SAM MINUK Watch out! Here comes the all- star centre, Sam Minuk. Why the rush? He’s late for the third time today. It seems he manages to meet that certain train on time. MARGARET MOORE Margaret is always seen, seldom heard. A swell classmate, par¬ ticipates in all sports activities. MANUEL MORREY Manuel is one of those socialites who are always thinking of par¬ ties. Don’t get us wrong. He ' s Room 29’s industrious social chairman. His boogie-woogie at the piano is an asset at our socials. RUTH NITIKMAN An excellent student; pleasing personality. Another blessing to the teachers. She not only asks all the questions but also an¬ swers them. An authority on Electra, the psychological phe¬ nomenon. MARY NIVEN Room 29’s contribution to the senior volleyball and basketball teams. Mary adds to the number of beauties in the room. Her charming personality makes her a friend of all. BETTY ROMANEK Our efficient commercial stu¬ dent. Betty’s vitality and bub¬ bling spirits carried throughout the school. Of course she car¬ ries it herself for she’s a very busy girl with all her steno- graphical chores. XI-15 NEIL ALMDAL, Neil has a terrific time repelling attacks from some of our ener¬ getic females. Tall and hand¬ some, he hasn’t shaved yet, — he keeps the girls singing “Over the Waves.” MYRTLE BALDOCK Myrtle, alias “the Angel,” fun- loving, and always happy, gives us an “A” morale. Wonder if she knows all the words to “There’s a Long, Long Trail A-winding,” — all the way from Middleehurch. Page Eighteen BILL SPIVAK Room 29’s “Big Boy.” He’s tall, fair and has beautiful curly hair—the envy of all. Although Bill is a regular attendant at school he has many extra-cur¬ ricular activities, the chief of them being snooker, pool and billiards. IRENE SPRINGMAN One of the intelligentsia of the class. Irene can also be cate- goried in the vim, vigor, vital¬ ity and versatility class. Irene was one of the school’s lady curlers. BARBARA SISLER She swims like a fish. An un¬ usual fish, for as soon as her pond freezes she solves her problem by donning her skates and then she’s off to the speed¬ skating races. GEORGE TOUGH Not as tough as he looks. Great¬ est blow he could have reigned was his donation to Mr. Johns¬ ton of a set of Physics ques¬ tions. ADELINE WDOVIAK Take a pair of sparkling eyes; take a pair of rosy lips; take a figure trimly planned such as admiration whets; add charm, sincerity, brains, and industry, and you have L’il Ad. EDDIE ZULKOWSKI ‘Penzance’s” Sergeant of Police. The best Mabel we have heard. A dual character indeed. Eddie’s the long-hair type. Future: Wagnerian roles at the Met. XI-15 VERNON BATES, Vern is our silent ambitious classic fan. His theme is “Po¬ lonaise.” But boogie? Natch! Best follow-up for Ray Milland we know. Watch out, McGill, here he comes. BILL BROWNSTONE Bill is never late. “It’s only 8:66!” His subtle humour ranks him high in class appreciation. Likes hockey best, in sports. Destiny? Ask Bill. BILL CAMPBELL Bill goes to school so he can disappear at 1 p.m. Enjoys classic hair-dos, and “Nordic” profiles. “Scots Wha He for Wallace Bled,” Campbell’s sell¬ ing plasma.
