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

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

XI-34 DOROTHY WADSWORTH Our version of Hedy Lamarr, and a musician on the side. Her fondness of navy blue has ob¬ viously been replaced by a love for maroon and white. ELEANOR WOLFMAN Tiny but not timid. Eleanor is a good debator and is also a great lover of music. LAURIE WEBER This well groomed blue-eyed brownette has a weakness for drapes. The chief objects of her ambition are Car-men and money. XI-34 GLADYS BOIKMAN Very outspoken but always full of gags. She doesn’t believe in wiping the grin off her face too often. CHRIS CADZOW Chris is the main reason that we made a showing in inter¬ room basketball. He has gained a name as an all-round athlete and student. LILLIAN DENTRY Lillian’s comeback to any re¬ mark is quicker than an Indian rubber ball. Nothing gets by Lillian’s ready wit. RUSSELL FLISS Fliss the flutist has been ac¬ cused of not knowing the differ¬ ence between a trumpet and a flute. During the opera Russ was a member of l’orchestre.” ESTHER GONOR This little bombshell of Room 34 packs a terrific sense of hu¬ mor in her half-pint frame. Per¬ sonality personified — that’s Esther. CARL GUSBERTI Our president is known and liked far and wide. Gus is al¬ ways on the bit” with a joke. “Favorite song, When Iris Eyes Are Smiling.” HAROLD HAPICHUK “Happy” Hapichuk and his cla¬ rinet are running Woody Her¬ man competition. (In fact Woody isn’t even in the same class). Happy has his own orchestra and they are (still) trying to prove that what they play is music. KEN HAYWARD Ken is a hockey star who played with the Rangers (the Dutch¬ man). He is also an up and coming student but we have a hard time keeping him up and making him come. Ken is the Social Rep. TONY HICKAWAY Tony is the famous flying wing of the All-Star Rugby Team. Although his chief interests lie in rugby and hockey he likes to play other games too. (Ha!) He is our sports-captain, of course. PHYLISS HUGHES Phyliss is our blonde-haired beauty. She’s always there sug¬ gesting something for the room. She is also suggestive for the boys. JACK KIRKLAND One of the Brilliants in our room. Jack is always shining. (See what Max Factor does for you, girls.) Did a great job as a pirate in the opera. LOUIS LEACHMAN This little student is very seldom heard (over the uproar). If you ever see him, you are probably in the late room. BILL MILLER Bill is a likable character who is usually responsible for all the outbursts in the room. Life with Bill is a tunnel of love. You never know what’s coming nex t. LENORE MIND ELL Comes into the classification of a girl who doesn’t say much. (Eds. note: We didn’t think there were any.) Lenore is so quiet that most of her classmates don’t even know where she sits. ' ILENE PATSON Ilene is the girls’ sports-captain. If you like them with looks, and personality, boys, this is it. She is good in sports, but better in shorts. Page Twenty-five
