NORM HILL ARLINE MOGUL Winner of the Governor-General ' s Medal Norm is a jack-of-all-trades. That is the one requirement of the winner of this award. The most important part of his contributions to life at Tech rests in his community spirit. This prompted him to undertake many jobs. He was class president for three years; editor of the ’45 Torch, the largest; editor of the Hi Fresh man!, principal part in the opera for two years, president of the school council, 1945-46, captain of the rugby team, 1945, etc., etc. His academic achievements have been worth a couple of bars every year during his attend¬ ance at Tech. Meaningful editorials, witty es¬ says and satires on prevalent abuses tumble from his versatile pen. This year’s class will remember him saying, “I have a poem here,” every time he made a speech. He would give Einstein competition also, given time. A big lanky fellow needs some exercise and Norm found it on the rugby team for three years, all-star end in 1944, and basketball team for two years. He makes a good hockey player and curler in the winter and always wins a few points at inter-class field day in the summer. What a power-house! Won twelve bars in two years and deserves twenty-four for his three years attendance. Despite his crowded time table he always has a happy grin and plenty of time for girls, fun, and girls. ★ Winner of the Teacher ' s Award The old school flame really burins in this little red-head (it even colors her hair). Dur¬ ing her two years at Tech, Arline was into more things than a cook’s finger. She was a debater in the Public Speaking Club, an officer on her class council, and a member of the opera during her two years. Arline’s limitless energy also extended to the realm of sport where she excelled in basket¬ ball, volleyball and track. In 1945, Arline was literary editor of the Torch and did a tremen¬ dous job in that position. As copy manager of the “Hi-Freshman!” Arline’s efforts were a main factor in the publication of the then un¬ tried and infant activity. Besides gaining recognition in athletics and citizenship, Arline also earned a name as scholar. Her standing while at Tech was never less than an “A.” In 1945 this little ball of fire was one of the three students to receive the full quota for six bars. Arline’s terrific energy, coupled with an en¬ gaging personality (amazingly amiable, con¬ sidering the color of her hair), won her many friends among students and teachers alike. All these qualities make her richly deserving of the honors awarded her. ★ J WINNERS “J’s” are the mark of outstanding ability and all-round achievements at St. John’s. They are awarded to students meriting four bars or more. Second year St. John’s students with four bars or more for the second year receive the “J” orange and brown pin. Old “Alma Mater,’’ this year has been blessed with a bumper crop of “J” winners.

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
