IDRS WILSON EDWARD FRANTZ A friendly, happy-go-lucky sen- ior who reported to Room 19, Ed- die was a mainstay on the Stage Crew for three years and a mem- ber of the Band for five. After graduation, Eddie will probably be a man in blue-with the Navy, of course. FRANK GAMBINO Tinkering with cars and driving them around town gives Frisky a lot of pleasure. No appearance of the Band was complete without Frank marching up front with the Color Guard. He plans to attend Pitt to become an electrical en- gineer. That's the way it goes with Frank. JACQUELINE LEE GHRIST Beautiful copper-red hair, brains, and a pleasing personality - all these go to make up jacquie, fea- ture editor of the Valistic. She was a member of the Choir and took part in intramurals. Her extra hours were spent reading, swim- ming, or playing the piano. Thiel College comes next. EDITH GRANITE Edi, a pleasant young miss who came to us from our neighboring rival, Rankin, reported to Room 19. Dancing is the most popular activity in her life at present, and she goes to various dances when- ever she has a chance. After her school days are over, Edi is plan- ning to work for the Bell Tele- phone Company. CAROLE H. GRIMM Carole, a peppy senior from Room 12, has set her sights on a secretarial career. She likes to dance and to listen to records in her leisure time. She was a mem- ber of the Y-Teens, the Bowling Club, and the Glee Club. What, we wonder, will Room 12 do now for a faithful salesman? HENRY FUSARINI Foose is a hard-working boy who meets life with a cheerful heart. His likes are typical-girls, the gang, sports, loafing, and an after school job. For the future he plans to work in electronics, a field he hopes to learn more about next Fall. EMILY K. GERNHARDT Emily, or Em, as she is known to her many friends, was one of our sweetest seniors. She partici- pated in Y-Teens, Bowling Club, and intramurals - but dancing, swimming, and listening to records ran those activities a close second. In the Fall, Em would like to further her education at Pitt. CONSTAN CE L. GRANATIR Connie, one of our attractive blondes, loved driving her sharp red convertible in her leisure hours. She was always buying new clothes to keep up with the latest styles. Eventually Connie hopes some good will come from her fashionable dressing by venturing into the modeling business. ROBERT GRATTON This hard-working senior re- ported to Room 12. It was a com- mon sight to see Bob driving around in his hopped-up Merc- his best spare time friend. This lad from the Square hopes to find a good job after graduation, so be- fore long he and the Merc will be out hunting. FRANCIS J. HABIC Although Burr isn't sure about what he wants to study in college, with his experience he might as well aim for the presidency! He has been home room president, Choir president, and was leader of the senior class. In between his duties as prexy he found time to participate in football and intra- murals.

IDRS ROBERT KLEMMER Bob, one of our very active sen- iors, is also one of the best looking. He was a member of our football team for three years and was also a basketball manager. He took part in the school intramurals and this year was our class vice-presi- dent. Someday Bob hopes to be an aeronautical engineer. STEVEN KUZMICH just what would Room 13 have done without Kuz and his ability to draw cartoons? We think he could really do something with that gift, but Steve's main interests lie in fixing cars and listening to rock 'n roll. He'll make a pleas- ant and cooperative mechanic. JOSEPH LAVERDE Joe's plans for a career in the future consist of going into indus- try. Right now, though, he likes to loaf and paint his car, which he could tell you just can't be done at the same time. He was a valu- able member of Room 12's intra- mural teams. PHILIP M. LYNCH This happy - go - lucky senior hailed from Room 13. When it comes to cars, Phil knows his stuff. Loafing suits him to a T, but he was right there when it came to intramural games. Phil soon will become a Boy in Blue and then he'd better know What's happen- ing. DAVID P. MADIGAN Dave, a joy-loving senior, re- ported to Room 24. He was very active in intramurals and has en- joyed many good times in high school. He has an after school job helping his father, but his favorite pastimes are sports, sleeping, and driving his Hot Merc. CON STANCE KOVAL Our Junior Prom Queen was very active in school affairs. She was a majorette, a Y-Teen mem- ber, a reporter for the Valistic, and secretary of Student Council. Swimming and listening to music take up Connie's extra time. After college, she plans to be a home economist. ANTHONY S. LAMBERTI One of our schoo1's best artists was Tony, but in addition he con- tributed much to the football and baseball teams. I-Ie spends most of his leisure time listening to records or dancing, and resting up from last summer when he had a tremendous amount of experience doing construction jobs--which he hopes to make his life work. RUTH A. LUDWIG Ruth is a pretty and popular senior, with a pleasing personality and a winning smile. Being news editor for the Valistic, secretary for the Y-Teens, a member of the Band, Choir, and Student Council were among Ruthie's activities. This future nurse is also very handy with the paintbrush and pencil. BARBARA MACCUMBEE Barb claims her ambition Che- sides marriagej is to make lots of money, but she'll have to add work to her list of interests-dancing, swimming, and eating--to achieve it! Y-Teens, intramurals, and Ever- ett's Little Store have taken up much of her time in the past few years. REGIS S. MAJOR Regis, who hailed from Room 16, was active in sports, especially in home room intramurals -- in which he excelled. In his spare time, when not working at Bar'd's, he enjoys driving his car. Regis has one great ambition, to attend the Navy Air School.
