ANNE NURGITZ ART SILVERMAN Another one of our opera chorus Another class wit who forces girls—but she managed to catch last night’s Bob Hope jobes on a certain lead. Seldom seen in some unlucky 39’er. Art’s main class—she claims it’s Torch” worry — Should I become a work that keeps her busy. doctor or an opera star? RITA PLESKOW Her beautiful voice gave her the part of Edith” in the opera. Although rather quiet, her marks are excellent. Favor¬ ite pastime—giggling with Shiela in Chem. periods. TEDDY POLSKY An accomplished pianist who can really make those keyboards fly. She only studies when there’s nothing else to do. Be¬ lieves that school is a waste of time. Could be . . . FRIEDA RABKIN Fun-loving, clever. Her voice qualified her for the opera and various festival choirs. Right now. University seems to be her ambition. SHIELA RITTBERG Take a beautiful voice, good figure, and plenty of giggling, shake well, and you have Shiela. Could be that Kate’s” interest in the opera was sub¬ jected to more than music. TED ROMANSON A high ranking officer in Sea Cadets. Specifically—chief petty. Dapper Ted has to wield a mighty knife to ward off the girls. YVONNE SAWCHUK Our vote for Room 39s leading Glamour Girl. Prominent in sports and room activities, and was responsible for most of these write-ups. ALFIE SILVER Room 39 offers its heart-felt and sincere condolences to Alfie on his recent loss. Don’t take it too hard, Alf. Lots of people have lost their appendix. NAOMI SHUBIN Volleyball, basketball. Girls ' Sports, Editor of Torch, and other activities, form a list of Naomi’s achievements for this year. Her genial disposition has won her many friends. RITA SILVERMAN Room 39’s Glamour - Girl,” sometimes manages to escape the late-room. Good-natured and popular, Rita never seems to lose her temper. DAVE SIMPSON There’s one in every room. Our chemistry fiend would like to own the school’s chemistry equipment. Latest reports say he practically does. CHARLES SMITH Chollie is the driving intellec¬ tual force of 39. Tho’ reputedly active in a party rhyming with Mutt and Jeff,” he actually stayed home and did his home¬ work. SAM SOLOMON Samuel has taken a keen inter¬ est in civic affairs and hopes to become mayor soon. (Watch out, Mr. Coulter!) Comes de revolution” and we’ll have three history periods a day. MEL SPIGELMAN In Mel we see a perfect speci- man of a sportsman. His favor¬ ite sport used to be hockey, but of late he prefers a period of tumbling in Room 29. SEYMOUR WARKOV Seymour spent a relatively quiet year in school and amused himself only in Maths, History, Latin, Chemistry and English. The rest of the time he tried to do his homework and play basketball. DAN WATERMAN Good natured Dan (pronounced with a nasal effect) often causes pandemonium with his timely quips at the most untimely times. NATE WERNER The jester whose enthusiastic guffaw has become a class insti¬ tution. Nate was also a good basketball player, a track star and a friend of Arthur. Page Thirty-two

XI-39 XI-39 BERNICE BLAZCWICZ Bernice is always good for a laugh, but her giggles seem to annoy a certain French teacher. However, her constant plugging rewards her with high marks. SIDNEY COOPER One of the quieter and more studious pupils of our class, works hard and is a favourite of all the teachers, especially one whose name rhymes with “forever burnin’.” DAVID DALLINGER Has the unique position of being page-boy in the provincial legis¬ lature. World conditions as unstable as they are, don’t be surprised if he is the provincial premier next year! DOROTHY DIAMOND Sports captain of the room. Charming and full of fun. Dorothy is liked by everyone. PATRICIA DYBISH Another chorister, quiet, well- liked. Drug stores fascinate her—could be she wants to be a Pharamcist? TEDDY FERLEY “The Mark,” a star hockey player, is a “blaze-away” on the ice. As a goalie, he stands be¬ tween bars today. Tomorrow— who knows? MARION FURMAN Member of opera and festival choirs, she strangely enough looks forward to music periods. Sincerity and friendliness are her traits. HAROLD GOLDSTEIN Big Harold’s school activities include playing rugby and pirating in the opera. He demon¬ strates his immense strength by pushing people through doors— open doors. JOE HEIMBACH Our star tumbler is Mr. P.’s pride and joy. He glides through his studies just as smoothly as he does through the air. He’ll go a long way, no doubt. BRUCE HILL “The Hat” has been known to visit Eaton’s Women’s Hat counter regularly. Buys his mother hats, methinks. Other activities during the year in- clde playing rugby and planning Tech’s socials. EDITH KATZ You can always depend on Edith to play the piano for you. Works hard in school and obtains good results. Could be that her cheery smile sees her through. LUCY LAW Because of Lucy’s quietness, her excellent marks amaze every¬ one. Friendly to all, she is a great asset to the class -especi¬ ally at exam time. ROY LEV A brilliant student, his know¬ ledge is a beacon of light on every struggling genius in our room. His “radical” views don’t jibe with those of some teachers, but with his marks, we’d all turn radical. SHARNA MALINSKY Sharna is one of the rare species of Room 39, a conscien¬ tious worker with her assign¬ ments always done. Ambition —to be a doctor. (I ' ll be your first patient.—Ed.). DORIS MANVEILER As a newcomer to 39 she quickly made herself at home. She is an ardent rugby fan. Is it her infectious smile that causes a certain male to walk her home every day? BILL MARTIN “All good things come in little packages” e.g., peanuts, and B.M. Bill can often be seen munching peanuts during school hours; after school he eats pop¬ corn. Where does he get all the room? DOLLY MINDESS “Five foot two and a half of sunshine,” our petite and able secretary always manages to forget the absentee list for D.A. Her sparkling personality makes her popular with both sexes. VERA NELSON Slim and definitely easy on the eyes. “Nellie” verifies the fact that not all blondes are dumb. Industrious and friendly, she is a swell girl to know. Page Thirty-one

LESLIE ZIMBERG A rare male speciman who likes to keep his work up to date. He can also be seen forcing Torch magazines down Room 39’s collective palate. ALVIN ZIPURSKY My foreign correspondent tells me that Little A1 was Sports’ Editor of the Torch, and presi¬ dent of Room 39 for two terms. His rugby tactics proved to be quite successful in controlling the class. He and a certain teacher both like to curl. XI-40 MORRIS ALTMAN Room 40’s literary artist — that is, when the teacher is out of the room. Poems are his spec¬ ialty, and his hobby is selling dehydrated “Borsht”. GERRY APPEiLLE Claims he’ot got water on the knee, but we know it’s skin. Our faithful secretary and all¬ round student and athlete. He particularly likes rushing into Room 29 after study period. We can’t imagine why. STEPHEN ARSENYCH One of the Rover boys, here, there, and everywhere. He is known for his exploits (mostly unprintable — at his own re¬ quest.) Steve is an “A” man in Physics, Chemistry and Bas¬ ketball. DAVID BABIER Still can’t get over how the 7 ball froze outside the pocket. He is a continuous visitor at the Lodge, but somehow keeps his work up. He is also a very popular fellow. ALLAN BEYER Another one of Joe’s prodigies who is continually looking for a “mark”. From what we’ve seen of him (very little) we find Allan a very likeable person. JOE BREITMAN Joe is a regular contributor to the Tech. Review. He knows everything about everything, except how to use a razor. ALLAN CHAPNICK “How do you do? I’m so happy for you to see.” Our own Mad Russian, who keeps telling us how he played the fiddle for the Czar. GEORGE NIECKARZ The budding artist of the room, although the quality of his work shows that he will soon be full blown. Must stay up nights painting the town red because he doesn’t get to school in the morning. ISRAEL FEINGOLD A gift from Dauphin and a credit to our class. Israel is a quiet, hard worker who believes in saying little, doing much. Maybe that’s why he always says so little and does so much. XI-40 WALTER DUDNEWICH “Dud” is a pretty classy basket¬ ball player on the junior team, an outstanding student, and very nice stu-fellow. What more could you want? P.S.—“Dud” was also picked to take glider training, one of St. John’s ten. BILL DYSON We all like to hear Bill sing Long Ago and Far Away. A swell guy, and an asset to any class. MONTE GERSHFIELD Is he handsome? No. Is he smart? No. Is he living? Give us time, we’re still working on that. In spite of all those dis¬ advantages Monte is a very able social rep. and a swell fellow. JOHN GRAY Tall dark and drapesome. John must be a fast reader for he gets through three or four books every library period. At least he goes to get another often. Another of our pool sharks. GILBERT GREGORY I’m forever blowing bubbles. G.G. calmly walked into Room 40 and started blowing bubbles. His punishment — he was not allowed to smoke for a week. P.S.—It almost killed him. KASIMIR GREGORY We don’t hear much from Kas, but when anything goes amiss in the class, a voice pipes up in the class, “Blame it on Kas.” JACK GUSMAN Chalks up A’s in all subjects— we all call this fellow Jack A. No offence please. We all like you Jack even thought you are a trifle intelligent. Page Thirty-three
