XI-24 MAURINE MOORE Here’s a slick chick who hails from Kelvin. Their loss and a very nice gain for us. Sorry, fellas, she’s taken. XI-24 GERRY AMES Capable president of the room. Jerry excels in all sports; spe¬ cializing in hurdling, swimming, and house parties. Always has us guessing about her latest “affaires d’amour.” DORYS BAY This sophisticated chick spends her study periods. Dorys is a whiz at Chemistry. Her latest experiments have been on “Gold.” GERRY COULTER Gerry dreams all day about the night. Her main interests in life are Carmen, shows, and men. (Purdy, men.) PEARL GOODMAN Pearl helps Dorys spend her study periods. She claims she has a high priority on the mir¬ ror. Her clothes have that Taylor-ed look this spring. Can it be spring fever? ROBERTA GRIFFITH Our future nurse, and we ex¬ pect will make a mighty good one, at that. An all-around girl, she enjoys sports, singing and playing the piano. BARBARA HAY Barby, a vivacious brunette with those flirty, flirty eyes, formerly could only be moved by the Navy. Lately, a few blonde waves have made her sway a little. MILDRED HAMATA Another Slick-Chick with per¬ sonality plus. Mildred roams with Mattie, sings with vim and vigor, and spends her spare time playing Jacks. SYLVIA JACKSON Those blue, sparkling eyes are full of life. Nimble with her hands and feet. A genuine gal, liked by all. EDITH JOHNSON Edith seems quiet in class, but she is not always so, we hear. Her pleasant disposition makes her a very likeable person and we are sure she will make an excellent nurse. SHIRLEY JOYCE “How many hearts have you broken with those great, big beautiful eyes?” Shirley hails from Lord Selkirk, but thinks that D.M.C.L. has something that others haven’t got. IRVINE KANOVSKY Irvin tried suicide, but medical science frustrated his attempts and he was forced to finish his sentence in Cell 24. Favorite hideout—Room 41. LOVED KARE Lovee possesses a unique talent for leadership, organizing and trapping. She is active in most sports, but she’s tops when it comes to “Billiards.” JENNIE KOPEL Jenny is our chorus girl. An expert typist, she is always willing to co-ooperate in every job Room 24 undertakes. MATTIE KOWALYK Our well-qualified sports cap¬ tain and basketball enthusiast, better known as the “Limb,” loves music. Her motto: “Don’t do today what you can put off till tomorrow.” SHEILA KRIVOSHEA Always smiling, always pleas¬ ant, always friendly. Why is it that she is always so “Sonny?” Could her attraction in Room 31 be Chemistry? JOYCE LAWRENCE Further proof of the proverb, “Good things come in small packages.” Although we know Joyce is a terrific runner, we don’t think Len tried too hard to escape. BETH “LATE-SLIP” LEES Beth keeps up Mr. Storch’s moral by always being “early.” Besides laughing at those tardy members of Room 24, she plays volleyball. Ambition: to be a teacher. ■a m r jh Page Twenty-three

STEVE OMENIUCK Our competent secretary, but we don’t mean in Shorthand and Typing. He’s one of the room’s checker champs. FRANCES OSTAPOWICH Here’s a bright young girl, who takes top honors in both Short¬ hand and Bookkeeping, and can she wield a mean bat. when it comes to baseball. DORA PAUL, One of our many brunettes, who always has her assignments in on time. How does she do it? Let’s visit Dora. NOREEN PLISCHKE Here’s the lass with the pleasant grin, liable to do anythin’ (only fooling). Favorite saying: “Yoo, Hoo! She can be con¬ stantly heard yelling for “Marg¬ aret.’ ' GEORGE POPOWTCH The Brilliant” (?) maths stu¬ dent who is never at maths but receives an “A” (a for absent). Ambition: teacher. JEAN RUSSELL This young lady was so bright she didn’t have to finish school to get a steady position. Lots of luck, Jean. ESTHER SHORE A girl with a “permanent” curl, the kind that doesn’t have to be renewed once a year. OLGA SOLMAN Our lovely red-head who is quite a famous violinist, and our popular sports captain. What she doesn’t have to put up with! GLORIA SYKES Here’s another of our blondes. Gloria fancies the atmosphere of Room 29. Is it because she likes studying? (Joker.) Page Twenty-two JOYCE SYKES Joyce rates high in good looks, personality, and marks. How does she do it? Ask Gloria, she wrote this. (That’s sisterly lovelj HELEN TANASICHUK This brown-haired girl is a quiet lass whose chief ambition is to be on top. (Educationally and socially). VERA WOLINITS A whiz at history and one of the stars of our notorious (?) basketball team. Popular, too! GLADYS YALLOWEGA Here’s one of our bright stu¬ dents, especially in Shorthand. Why she can even read her own notes! Miracles never stop hap¬ pening. JOE YERYK Or as he’s usually called, “Silent Joe.” The quiet section of the “Big Five.” Alias “Brians.” YULIA YERYK Another quiet lass, one wouldn’t know that she was in the room half the time. When she does speak she has something to say. ALVIN YUSSIEM The dark-haired boy of the “Big Five.” He may be near the last on the roll but not when it comes to checkers. Who do you think wins? JOSEPHINE YUZWA Here’s another blonde. One of the many of our room. Does well in school. MARGARET ZUKE A pretty girl with a pretty (!!!) tunic! The other half of the unseparable twosome of R. 21. Most popular with the opposite sex especially (censored).

GRACE LINNEY Grace returned to Tech after two years of bliss, to sing her way through the year. Intends to be a nurse. “Nursie, come over here and hold my hand.” RITA LUDWIG This Chick spent her school days in the city and week-ends at the village. Rita left us early to make her entrance into the business world. MARION LYSAK Our efficient secretary is a quiet lass and our shorthand expert. Is the reason for that fluttering heart in Room 22. MERLE MANDEL Always found at Bella’s side. Seems to be bubbling over with energy and laughter — until we take P. T. The life of any party. CARMEN MATHEWS Carmen, whose flowing tresses are the envy of every blonde in the room, is interested in many forms of art. She believes life begins at 4 P.M. PAULINE ONUFREE Every time there’s a job to be done. Polly does it. She is al¬ ways ready and willing to help. A hard worker, she takes part in all school activities. BELLA RABER The source of our joke pot. Her sunny disposition gets her places — her marks don’t. Bella often comes in late but the bus- driver always gets the blame. ROZZIE RADINOVSKY Rozzie is our hard working secretary and tres petite artiste. A lover of French, her first choice for hit of the year is, “Darling, Je vous aime beau- coup.” SYLVIA RODIN “Live wire Sylvia,” active in sports, and other activities. What’s so interesting on the last page of pictures in the 1945 Torch,” Sylvia? BERNICE “BUNNY” SCHICK 11-24’s hep lil athlete is a classy forward on the basketball team but not too backward other¬ wise. This chick has mobs of men, including one she’d like to get Ridd of. NOREEN SCOTT Real saleswoman—Noreen top¬ ped Room 24’s record in col¬ lecting Torch adds. If you need a boost in moral, go and see Noreen, she’s always cheerful and happy. CORINNE SEGAL The girl behind the lovely com¬ plexion and dreamy light brown eyes. What is it about Corinne that seems to “get” Miss U know who. ROSALINE SHUSTER Rosaline is another of those Lord Selkirk girls who hates cooking and housework, but that won’t make any difference to her fate. DOLORES SMIGLE Dolores is an eager beaver in and out of school. She excels in scholastics, sports, and dis¬ cussions of which her favorite topic is a certain blonde. FRANCES STERGAR This green-eyed brunette knows how to work and is another of Room 24’s typing experts. She did a first rate job as our Fair representative. JEAN TABACK “Jinx” is the girl with the deep blue eyes whose terrific piano renditions were the bright spots in our music course. Her private life’s a secret between Sylvia and herself. ELEANOR WILKIE Our tall, graceful blue-eyed blonde causes a lot of excite¬ ment around the school, espe¬ cially in high pumping on field day. Scholastics are her task and Johnnie is her guy. SHIRLEY WINSTON Her lovely hair is her main attraction. Seems to be un¬ usually interested in a certain rugby star. Page Twenty-four
