BEN GRUSHKO With most meat markets it’s the cow, but with Grushko it’s the bull. In Ben, we have a humorist (not our kind), a good kid. BOB HANDLER Room 40’s B.T.O. Often seen with his right hand shaking above his head and crying for another pair of shoes. Bob is a good fellow and a fair student. RONALD J.P.G. HAVELOCK “Baldy” as he affectionately is called by his cronies, is Room 40’s Abbott and Costello rolled into one. Our sports captain, played on the senior basketball team, Ronnie is a wonderful fellow and a good student. CHARLES ISKOW Here we have proof—proof that man is descendant of the little fellows that swing in the trees. Kidding aside, Charles is a bar¬ rel of fun and a great guy. JACK KAPLAN Our hero may be seen at 1.20 tumbling. Well, that’s one way to see the world. LAWRENCE KLAPECKI Room 40’s artist who is respon¬ sible for all our posters. Law¬ rence is well liked by all and an asset to any room. (He’s never there.) MAX LEW Was once seen in a pool hall— However Max is one of our quieter students. He is an “E” man and we don ' t mean efficient. JOE MESHNIK Most of you saw “Lost Weekend” —if you looked closely, our hero was the third body from the left. Joe did some good work on the rugby field, and is also our vice-president and chief mauler. EDWIN MYER A swell guy and a likeable person who is interested in model building (airplanes) and keeping quiet. Ed makes no comment on the girls around the school, none being needed. BERT MINUK Bert is still looking for positive electrons — there is no such thing, but that doesn ' t stop Bert. EARL POIDEVIN A leader of men (Air Cadets), follower of women, and works diligently in all subjects. He excels in one period especially (study period). GORDON POLLOCK Another of Room 40’s “better students”. Poor Gordon can’t lose his attraction for Room 31. He is constantly “Trilling” out¬ side the door. Gordon is a good student and a still better fellow. AARON ROMANOVSKY Little “Butch” is contantly seen buzzing around the school. Where he goes, nobody knows (how about it Butch?) Aaron is a very diligent worker who is very well liked—and no wonder, he’s so cute!! ELKEN ROSENHECK The big bad boy of Room 40, quite a scholar. We heard once that Elkin is going to write for a scholarship, well good luck to you Elkin! JOE LIBERSON A bit on the broad side. We never hear from Joe, he’s too busy studying for next year. What little we hear from him, we like. ALBERT LOWE Albert seems to hang around Room 13—we wonder why. Mr. Laycup advised Albert to leave school for a little holiday — a sort of Lost Weekend. Page Thirty-four GEORGE ROSS A gentleman, and we use the term loosely. George excels in English literature and washing boards. Needless to say, a quiet chap and good student. ARNOLD RUBIN Arnold is known as the Dutch¬ man (don’t ask us, we don’t know why) Dutch can usually be seen at a certain place where the boys hold sticks and shoot little colored balls around. How¬ ever, “Dutch” is a swell guy and a lot of fun.

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

IRWIN RUBIN “Little Peppy” the human dynamo, gets thrown out of more classes than we have fin¬ gers and toes. Peppy is re¬ spected by all—(He ' s got a big father.) ALBERT RUTMAN Albert had his appendix out for the Easter exams—that’s one way of not having to write. We doubt if Albert is awake four hours a day. WILLIAM SCHULMAN Willie, our class president, played on our win ning junior basketball team. In Willie, we believe we have a swell fellow and a great personality. (Thanks for the fin Willie.) NORMAN SHORE Was born at a very early age— no doubt. Every year Norm is sick at Easter, we are still awaiting this year’s results. No kidding folks, he’s a swell guy. IRVIN SLUSKY In Irvin Room 40 has a grand fellow. Occasionally Irvin is seen in a sort of daze. There is a certain person in the school that puts him in a trance. Can’t say we blame him either. MURRAY TAPPER Murray uses a curved cue so he can shoot balls around corners. Wake up Murray, its time to change periods. In spite of all this, Murray is a swell fellow. MYER THOMPSON Myer says he’s a self-made man, — we haven’t found out what he started with. Myer plays basketball and rugby. ALEX WINEGRATS KY Our musician plays radio and phonograph, flips the ball around in basketball, sleeps through Chemistry, and then goes home, — we think. DAVID WISEMAN One of Uncle Joe’s boys. Dave is an intellect, he laughs at anything, even Gerschfield. We don’t mind saying that Dave is one of our better billiard artists and a very likeable person. LLOYD WOLCH May usually be seen with Romanovsky laughing at each other’s jokes (no one else will). You’ve probably heard of Wolch’s department store, but Lloyd is no cheap guy. Camera Shy Qradnates XI 1-2.6 STEFFIE RUDAN—Singing in the Rain. Our president of the Lobby Volleyball Club takes time out from this tedious task to sing in the opera and keep her school work “on pitch”. XI1-29 EDWARD NIECKARZ—They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Please Ed, come back. We’ll love you anyway. Ambition: To drive a ’46 Pontiac 120 miles per hour. SHIRLEY SWAILES—Plump and jovial Shirley believes in lots of play and no work. A date every night of the week with Shirley sweet is the only ambition of her one and onlies. XI-15 DOREEN DAVIDOW—The only girl in the room who doesn’t raise her voice above a shriek. Silence and her good nature help her through the dark ages of high school. XI-15 CHESTER GORETZKI—The boy just out of the airforce with a thirst for know¬ ledge of places just around the corner in dark mysterious cities. XI-34 BORIS AMROMIN—Boris is the quiet type who never says a great deal but is willing to do anything he is asked (well practically anything). He is one of the rugby squad. CARMAN PURDY—The combination of Shtetler and Purdy is unbreakable. Carman gets along with everybody and is known as a good chap. TED WIERBECKI—Ted is tall blonde and handsome. He was on the rugby team and enjoys bicycling on his brother’s racing bike. NORMAN HIRSCH—W.L.I.’s answer to the Hitler youth. Norm was a bit late for school and came directly to Room 40 (no other sane person would). Need¬ less to say Norm is very popular with the boys. (He owns the dice.) Page Thirty-five
