NITA KLEIMAN . . . Nita’s a newcomer to the city. One of the quieter inmates of our room, she soon won a lot of new friends for herself. Is a firm believer in “Silence is Golden.” Likely to attain success in any field. ANNE MALTZ . . . Like pepsi-cola, this petite brownette hits the spot. For awhile we thought Annie’s laugh was the “thing.” We sure were disappointed! She can usually be found playing the piano or doing the Charleston. Takes Toni’s because she likes “Curly” hair. ALLYNE MASS . . . Tall and pretty, Allyne seems to attract only 80’s and 90’s. Although we don’t hear much about her love life we’re not deceived by her silence. Who is he, Allyne? Ambition: Dietician. Fate: Opening cans at the University cafeteria. DOREEN MASTERS . . . The other half of the team Hutton and Masters. Always sits way at the back of the room but still manages to get kicked out of classes. She’s the girl you need to brighten up your dull moments. LILLIAN MEDVED . . . Lil’s just one of the kibitzers that puts our room in an uproar. She usually finds herself in hot H = 0 with Mr. Manishen. Her favorite expression is “but honest, Mr. Manishen, I wasn’t talking!” Also an athlete and scholar deluxe. JANICE MENSFORTH . . . Another one of these gals who sits way at the back of the room. I wonder what the attraction is? Janice’s soft voice and pleasing personality make her a favorite in the room and also of Jack’s. MINDY MOZART . . . Cute and vivacious can best describe our Mindy. Her outbursts of humour are spontaneous and unrehearsed. Favorite remark: “Can you do your Maths?” Ambition: to see how many boys she can keep hanging around. Fate: hangman at Sing-Sing. LILLIAN MYKYCINSKI . . . Lil’s sole remark during council meetings was, “What shall we disucss now?” Good looks, scholastic ability, and a friendly manner make her a favorite with everyone in the room. Favorite saying: “A Nick in time saves nine.” JOY ORETSKY . . . First term vice-president, second term social rep, Joy is our contribution to radio and the opera. She says that her temper matches her red hair but we’ve never noticed. However, her name certainly matches her personality, she’s the “joy” of Room 18. ROCHELLE PAISNER . . . Rochelle never fails to contribute generously to councilling discussions when arguments are lacking. Besides arguing, she also gets top marks and is the possessor of one of the sunniest personalities in the room. Was co-author of these write-ups. NATALIE POHORECKY . . . Natalie’s beautiful blond locks are the envy of all the girls in the room. She’s the only one in the room that never gets into trouble. A connaisseur of movies—is always the centre of attraction at the “College.” HARVEY “TOUGHIE” POLLOCK . . . The only boy in our room, Harvey now knows what it’s like to be in a harem. Provided trans¬ portation for the room social and was the belle of the party. Favorite remark: “Oooh, Harvey, you great big handsome brute, you ! !” JEAN ROBIN . . . Our Jeanie with the light brown eyes. A friend in need with a good sense of humour. She and Bev are the only ones that get detention during study periods. Besides spending time in detention, she also gets good marks. NAOMI ROMALIS . . . Naomi comes to school on Monday in a daze from the activities of the week-end; and by Friday she has re¬ covered sufficiently to begin school work—then, another weekend. In spite of this handicap, Naomi manages to get top marks. GAIL ROSENSTOCK . . . Charming personality, brains, and good looks go well together in the form of our Gail. Can usually be found discussing the current boy of the week with Lil. Gail is one reason why teachers go gray—eh Mr. Manishen? DELSIE SCHECTOR . . . Famous for the way she does the Charles¬ ton (draw your own conclusions). Collaborator on these write-ups. She’s talented, pretty, musical, and clever—O.K. Delsie, stop twist¬ ing my arm! Ambition: to marry a millionaire. Fate: could be!

ARONA BLATT . . . Our petite brunette whose winning smile has won her many things except good marks in Maths. However she seems to be doing “Al” right for herself. Enjoys classical music and during music period plunks out melodies for Miss Handel. SUE BOGDONOV . . . Here is a talented member of the Scholastic Society of Room 18. Sue sings in the opera and takes turns with Evelyn in directing us in morning services. Also serves as a guinea pig in Maths class. GAYLA BORODITSKY . . . Although she is considered one of the quieter girls of Room 18, Gayla is full of fun and is always laughing at somebody’s joke (she laughs much harder when she understands it). Lots of luck, Gayla, in whatever you undertake. SHARON BURSTEN . . . “Sookie” is our gal with zig and “Zen.” She can usually be found eating breakfast with Addie during chemistry. She says that school interferes with her extra-curricular activities. LILLIAN CANTOR . . . “Lana Turner” of Room 18, Lil lacks only Bob Topping and a peroxide rinse. Her interests vary from base¬ ball to boys; from ballet to boys and from fencing to boys. Did we say varied? JOYCE CLARK . . . Personality plus and a beautiful voice. Her singing has been an asset to us both in French periods and in the opera—especially in French periods. Ambition: to sing at the Met. Fate: an usher at the Metropolitan Theatre. MARILYN DAVIES . . . Although Marilyn never raises her voice above a whisper, she manages to make herself heard distinctly in French class. This gal’s laughing on the inside but crying on the outside, cause her heart’s at Tech-Voc and not at St. John’s. EVELYN DOBRUSKIN ... A very ardent Bomber fan, has already started to save her money for the next Grey Cup Final. Her fine voice got her a lead in the opera, but somehow Mr. Allison can’t seem to hear her in chemistry. ESTHER FRIVER . . . Popular Esther, brings friendliness with her, whenever she enters a room. Esther was good at everything she tried, even P.T.? LEAH HELD . . One of Room 18’s mathematicians, can usually be found amid a pile of paper and manilla folders in the supply room. Always has a cold but ready to give anyone a handout from her box of Kleenex. VIVIAN HECHT . . . Joined our room in December and wished she had never left 39. She’s the only one that sits in her seat during study period. Favorite saying: Don’t know why we have no males in our room (sorry, Toughie, we forgot). SHEILA HUTTON . . . Tall, golden-haired Sheila is another of Room 18’s athletes. Besides possessing agility on volleyball and basketball courts, she also has a good-looking brother. Can usually be found giggling in a corner with Janice and Doreen. SONDRA KATZ . . . Sondra’s ambition is to become a second Ava Gardner. Her favorite expression is brother “Ken” you spare a dime? She also plays piano and can usually be found any afternoon practicing at Mindy’s! BEVERLEY KETTNER . . . Definitely the creative type! When she doesn’t agree with geometry theorems she makes up her own. The Farley Granger type appeals to her so all you Farley’s step up. Ambition: to write a geometry book. Fate: side of an eternal triangle. ADDIE KLEIMAN . . . Here today and—where were you the other four days of school, Addie? Whenever anything interesting happens, she is right there taking notes in her little black book. Do reporters use little black books, too, Addie?

Although there was some doubt at first, the removal of Sandra’s tonsils did not seem to interfere with her enviable marks. NORA SILVERBERG . . .

A good-natured girl with a LOT on her mind. Favorite past-time: going to the College Theatre about five times a wee k. What’s the attraction, Sheila? WALTER BOGAN . . . One of the original Brookland’s boys, racks balls as a hobby. Though “Spoogy” is one of the quieter boys, he’s a top-notch student, and liked by all. Also plays a guitar. FRED BROMLEY ... A regular Milton Berle. Always willing to tell a joke if someone is willing to laugh. At noon hour, he some¬ times squeezes out a neat tune for us on his accordion. Has a good future ahead of him.

Seriously speaking, we predict a bright future for this little lass. BERNICE LISHINSKY . . . “A-lec” that one. Our quiet class mate with the lovely smile, who doesn’t say much, but is usually found at the back of the room with a good book (comic book, that is). GERRY KALIAN . . . Gerry is quite a girl. She’s sports captain, in the coaching spot for the juniors, on the senior volleyball and basketball teams. Can always be found in the gym, with her other half. HAROLD KELM . . Kelm is the most ambitious lad in Room 28’s cell. He’s a little silent but very nice to know. Ambition: to be a Morse and Automatice operator. Fate: trainman—plain “loco” with no “motive.”
