ERNIE ROSS Ernie is the red-headed wit of Room 34. He is always ready to pass a remark your way, and often its more than a remark. Ernie is also vice-president. ELDA SCOTT Scotty gets along famously with Ross because she is willing to laugh at his jokes (?). This shows that Scotty must have a great sense of humour. ALLAN SHETTLER The other half of the Purdy- Shettler team. (They must be perfectly matched) We wonder if he is as fast in other things as he is in basketball. Also the possessor of a “personality smile . JACK STEFANSON Jack is a fellow who comes and goes like a revolving door. A swell guy, he never says much, but when started he is hard to unwind. ANNE- TURCHIN Anne is one of the volleyball players who helped win the championship. She agrees with everybody in more ways than one. MICKEY TOFFIN When in school Mickey is quiet, but when he is out, who knows? If success depends upon popu¬ larity among classmates, Mickey should go a long way. XI-37 HAROLD ALTMAN All Harold desires to take with him as a remembrance of Tech, are its girls. Harold’s inventive mind proved a great aid during the fair—his chemical game that is. WILFRED ATAMANCHUK Wilfred’s marks range from A+ to A. Darn that A how did it get in there? To Room 37’s bashful boy we wish the best of luck when he writes for the scholarship. SHIEKY BROWNSTONE Tall, dark and good looking, Shieky our sports captain is the instigator of all Room 37’s athletics. He and Mr. Pastuck are still trying. He has a serious interest in socialism and girls’ basketball games. Page Twenty-six KAY WATSON Always ready to dive into any joke, as well as into her favor¬ ite pool, Kathleen excells in laughing and swimming. (Done separately, we hope.) EVELYN WESTLEB Evelyn is a nice girl to have around, especially when assign¬ ments are due. This co-opera¬ tion on Evelyn’s part, a pleasant personality and that rare com¬ modity known as brains, make her a well-liked classmate. ANN YAFFE Is our class secretary who is always “fixing’’ the absentee list. Is popular with the opposite sex (eh Jack?) Seems to know how to keep us out of trouble. JULIA YAREMCHUK Julia is a blue-eyed beauty who is well-liked by all. She also helped win the inter-room volleyball championship. EDDIE ZASADZINSKY This trusting soul is liberal with smiles and notes, commodities which give him a 1-A standing with his fellow classmates. XI-37 ENID CALOF Trim, graceful and witty. Enid is our idea of an all-round girl, for she is athletic, intelligent, was a cheerleader and who do you think is business manager of the Torch? Naturally. NORMAN CANTOR An A student in several sub¬ jects, the room vice-president, will likely claim a place in the “arts” (not a paint brush, but the pen). On passing under the archway to his future, he will probably make a “left” turn in preference to the “right”. NOEL CUTLER Noel’s artistry and witty re¬ marks always find him a wel¬ come place among the crowd. His doodling in all his books will cheer up many a newcomer to Tech. IRVIN DORFMAN Irvin is the boy most likely to get a Ph.D. in Chemistry as what he doesn’t know, Mr. Grusz does. Besides this he speaks French like a Frenchman — surprised?

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

DONALD DYMA Donald is one of those “he’s not so much in a crowd but wait till you get him alone” boys! Being modest and shy, he under¬ estimates his own abilities. What do you say, Don? By the way, his marks are proof. NAOMI FOX Naomi took an active interest in sports and music and is an “A” student besides. Her high ideals will lead her to success in whatever field she tackles. SHEILA FRATKIN Sheila is proud of her back¬ ground, particularly when it centres around Portage Collegi¬ ate. She wouldn’t find it diffi¬ cult to obtain an alias as she is constantly called Elsie, Freda or Susie by different teachers. GRETA-LOIS FREEMAN Greta-Lois took an active part in sports, opera, and all school activities. She’s neat as a pin and has a pleasant personality. ABE GLOBERMAN ‘‘Witty, witty, witty,” repeat the class members when Abe is present. Besides possessing a good sense of humor, Abe is also as bright as 500-watts of the first five letters of his sur¬ name. ESTHER GREEN Room 37’s nomination for the girl you’d most like to do your homework with. Not so fast boys—she only likes “manly” ones. ANNE GUNN “Bangy” is famous for her gift of gab and cheery personalitv. Her ambition in life is to get a Ph.D. in Chemistry, but Mr. Grusz has other plans. SHIMIN KASEDY “Mole” is short, dark and packs a mean wallop. At two minutes to nine, you invariably see him “burrowing” in someone else’s Latin. SAUL KOBLINITSKY Saul’s marks start at A and go up. He may be termed “Saul the Provider” when it comes to handing out assignments. As an accountant, he is sure to make no mistakes. SAM KOBRINSKY Although he lives within crawl¬ ing distance (across the street) he is forever entering the room at the nine o’clock bell. He is easy to get along with and pre¬ fers the wide open spaces (Kil- donan Golf Course). MONTE KOWALL Conscientious, with a pleasing personality Morley is bewildered when surrounded by females. He is always within Miss Mc¬ Cord’s reach when it com es to translating L’ll Sans Nom. LAWRENCE LEBITKA Lawrence is our rival to “Arles Chatles” when it comes to “leight wifting”. Possessing a genial nature he is very popu¬ lar with the boys. MIRIAM LEVIN Mickey is said to be the reason for that reason for that famous saying “Hubba Hubba”. But she can’t help that now “ken” she? JUDITH LONDON Judy was foolish enough to lend her house for our class party and strangely enough hasn’t sued for damages yet. A friendly girl with a swell personality, shes’ nice to have around. FRANCES LUCOW Frances really has lots of drive. She cheered for the rugby team, sang in the opera and takes great delight in doodling over her books. How does she man¬ age to be a good student, too? LAWRENCE MOSCOVITCH One of the boys who cheered our team on to victory. Law¬ rence aspires to be a writer. He’s bound to be a great success at this if these write-ups are proof of his ability. HELEN O ' LASKER Helen, our beautiful inspiration finds herself not quite up to par Monday morning because the week-end proved to be so “tre¬ mendously terrific”. SHEILA PERMACK A pleasant personality and an ability to write form Sheila’s make-up. Besides this she deserves credit for these write¬ ups. Page Twenty-seven
