ETTIE FURER . . . Ettie can always be heard talking about the man in her life but we know whom she means for “he” changes from day to day. A good student and well liked by all. JOAN HANCOX ... A petite beauty with an Ipana smile is our Joan. As a sweet nightingale, she sang in the operetta as well as taking part in all sports activities. Her presence will be missed around Tech. EARL “SAM” HERSHFIELD . . . See-saw Margery daw, Earl shall have his Katisha. The only person in the class to receive a “J.” Sam was active in soccer, basketball, and track and field. Need someone who knows all the answers, Earl’s your man. ALLAN HOMENICK . . . Allan was only in our room till Christmas, but while he was with us, he added zest to our room. LOWELL HURWITZ . . . “Slim” won the Inter-high shot-put this year and played rugby on the school squad for two years. The room’s capable secretary and Miss Hawryluk’s tried and true friend. Always seen with Marty. DAVE JACOBSON . . . Dave is the boy to go to if you don’t know your Maths. He can teach anyone not matter how dumb. Look what he did for Ettie! He took a bet that he’d get 100% in Maths and lost—got 98%. MAX JASHUNSKY . . . Max plays the bass but tries to do the impossible—put it under his chin. A little too large, eh, Max. He loves jazz classics and could play them for days and days. RICHARD KLAPECKI . . . Miss Vant’s favorite student. He acts as if he really wants to learn history. Because he’s very quiet you never know he’s in the room until a question is asked, because he’s the only one who has the answer. MARTIN KRUGER . . . Marty is Mr. Johnson’s favorite physics student. How he can sit in the front seat and learn anything is the biggest problem in science. Says his favorite subject is his “zoot- suit.” Sometimes we wonder. LUBIMIRE KUDRYK . . . The quiet boy in the front seat. The only person who understands Latin. He has endeared himself to the rest of the class by being generous with his Latin translations. A hard worker and a good pal to all. SID LABOVITCH . . . This guy has all the assets of dream man and brother, does he make the best of them! There’s nothing he can’t do, eh girls? He ’s an all-around guy and liked by all. HERSH LERNER . . . Has the highest average in the school (in the bowling league). He is our able bowling president and show sales¬ man whose favorite saying is “Madame, these shoes will Sout-er.” Room 33’s contribution to the Tech Tigers. (One game, one play.) MORRIS LESCHUK . . . Social rep for the second term, led in the planning of our various social endeavours. Morris inspired us each morning with the Bible reading. Played in the school orchestra. JACK LITVAK . . . Jack was the fountain of Latin homework all year. What would we Latin “students” have done without him, we will never know. This was not Jack’s only asset for he excelled in whatever he went after. SYLVIA MACKLIS . . . Our room vice-president. Although her body travels with 33, her mind stays with 37. If our graduation table is a success it will be all Sylvia’s doing. She still insists that “Arnold” is not a common name. MARTIN MARGULIUS . . . School rugby team, Christmas Cheer fund, bowling are some of Marty’s extra-curricular activities. After he gets through with all these, there is very little time left for school. Gets along famously with Lowell.

RAY TANASICHUK . . . Ray is an excellent student, a very sociable fellow, well liked by all. HARRY TEICH . . . Mr. Beer’s pet peeve, Harry is quite an idealist, an all around kid, with a terrific sense of humour? STAN TOMCHYSHYN . . . Stan sits in the back so no one can notice he’s sleeping. This modest fellow does not run around like the rest of us (who are we kidding?). DONALD WONG . . . Don amazes us by his Maths knowledge (most probably amazes himself too). Talks very little but gets a lot done. Don can always be counted upon to explain the latest Physics lesson. AKIRA YAMASAKI . . . “Ted” is a card shark and also a nice guy (he owns the dice). Participates in baseball, basketball and hockey but excels in the running broad. Ted sometimes participates in school work also. LARRY ZAMICK . . . Larry, the youngest in the room, manages to excel academically without straining himself to the extent of studying. “Flip” as he is called by his friends, is rumored to have a faithful follower in Calgary. CHESTER ZEGLINSKI ... A fugitive from Africa, he can usually be found wrestling in the aisles with Karman or chasing Rocky. Chester rates an accolade for his high physics marks. MIKE BASHUCHY . . . Mike is the tall boy in our room. A runner and high-jumper at field day, Mike won many friends for himself especially among the feminine gender. His favorite subject must be Latin; he seems to have a lot of fun during that period. Wonder what the joke can be. ED BERGNER ... Ed is like the little man who wasn’t there. He arrives late usually in the morning and in the afternoon can’t be found. Ed is the only person in the room who knows his history, but with the notes he has, who wouldn’t be good? HAROLD BYTHEWAY . . . Harold is 33’s male contribution to the Mikado. He is noted for his athletic ability for the rugby team and starring on the room basketball team. “Hash” is one of the few who is able to talk to Bashucky eye to eye.. DIANE CHALMERS . . . One of the unlucky seven that got stuck with the boys of Room 33. Our contribution to the girls’ chorus in the operetta. Diana also toiled for the room’s basketball and shuttle teams. HARVEY CHERNOV ... A quiet boy of 33, which is something unusual. Walks around in a daze most of the time. His mind must be elsewhere. Loves school so much that he doesn’t usually leave until 12: 20. ALLAN CLOWES . . . Checks in at nine o’clock and then is never seen again in school. A1 is a great sportsman and says he likes nothing better than the greens at Room 43. Spends Saturday mornings holding a certain girl’s hand at the dentist. ERNIE COHEN . . . Ernie was a member of school council and of our room basketball team. This Ruthless and rugged guy is a favorite of us all. WALTER FARYON . . . After the first term exams, Walter’s favorite saying was “It was a cinch.” After the Easter exams it was “Do you think I passed?” Walter also has hidden talent: he plays the accordion in a band. If we had discovered this fact earlier in the year we would have had him play for us.

WARD McCANN ... We figure that he’d love to be home with ' “Toni” permanent. Another stalwart of the rugby team, Ward was adept at toting the pigskin for long gains across the gridiron. MARVIN MEDVED ... A quiet boy, well liked by those who know him, Marvin will probably do well in any career he chooses. ANDREW MALENCHENKO ... A late-commer to Cell 33, Andy soon was able to qualify for a number of his own. A great pal of Boris’s, they bunked together at St. Andrew. He was able to adjust himself quickly to his surroundings. ARNOLD PACKER . . . Arnie moved up from the cheerleader ranks to take over a position on the rugby squad. A member of the St. John’s Unconsciencious Four, his ten pin bowling earned him wealth ($1.50). Always seems to get to school shortly after dawn. HARLEAN PRESNER . . . This petite bundle of vim and vigor has one ambition in life-nursing. Who would mind being sick with Harlean around. She has one trouble in this respect—she must stand on a stool to see over the bed. PAUL REINER . . . One of the many noteworthy violinists to take refuge in 33 this year. Besides our own orchestra, Paul also is concert-master for the Manitoba Schools’ Orchestra. He also has time for school and his marks leave little to be desired. NORMAN ROSEN . . . Victim of the second term elections, was given “Enviable” rank of president at which he toiled most capably. Norm also carried this leadership in basketball and skipped his team to the curling championship. ALEX SCHLONTZ . . . A1 was a capable worker in all extra¬ curricular activities (especially those that allowed him to miss periods “legally”). He was Mr. Newfield’s right hand man during the rugby season and was in charge of all the costumes for the opera. NORRIS SEGAL . . . Neuf is 33’s quietest and best liked boy. He must live by the proverb “Silence is Golden.” Norris was a staunch fullback on 33’s soccer team and runner-up for the room’s championship at chess. EDDIE SIBIGA . . . Another violinist, Eddie’s first and last love is music. It also includes the one in between. He seems to always have a fiddle tucked under his arm or his chin. Such enthusiasm can lead to but one thing—Success! BOB SLOANE . . . Robert starred for the junior soccer champs and was instrumental in their successful bid for the championship. Hockey, baseball, bowling and girls are among Bob’s interests. He also goes to school in what time he has left over. AVROM SOUDACK . . . Music, athletics, card-playing and girls are some of this lad’s interests. Played violin in the orchestra but re¬ tired half way through by courtesy of Mr. Reeve. Though he studied little he stood out in every phase of academic work. MIRA STEELE ... A young girl needs—intelligence, personality, good looks, and Mira has it. Her average led the room by far. Her academic work isn’t Mira’s only asset. She toiled for the Torch and capably filled the capacities of sport’s captain and social rep. MONICA WASSERMAN . . . When Barrie wrote “The Admirable Chrichton” he must have had Monica in mind, when he created Tweeny. The class’s bright spot, there is never a dull moment when she’s around. NATHAN WINAGRETSKY . . . Capable room treasurer, Nate’s blunt humor awakened many students from their slumbers during class. When last seen, Nate was working on Volume Three of his health assignment. BORIS YARISH . . . The other half of the Yarish-Malenchenko Inc., Boris’s interests vary from books to girls and back to books.
