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.
