ALBERT R. REID It's hard to tell just what is uppermost in this well-liked boy's mind-cars, sports, or his job at the YM Bn WHA. Football, bas- ketball, baseball, volleyball-you name it, he plays it. Engineering in college comes next and then that big Cadillac he aims to own. MARIE E. RUSSO Pleasing to be with is one of Marie's many qualities. She's a very good athlete when it comes to intramural volleyball and bas- ketball. Marie was a faithful typist on the Valistic staff, a member of the Glee Club, and a help on the SWISSVALIAN. PAUL SCHULTZ Paul was on the Valistic staff for two years and a member of the Senior Play cast. He played solo trumpet in the band for six years and was business manager of the SWISSVALIAN. After receiving his diploma, he plans to go to college and in time he will become Paul Schultz, M.D. MARGARET ANN SHEDLOCK Peggy, a member of Room 12, was one of our most ardent intra- mural participants. She took part in both basketball and volleyball all three years. In her out of school time. she likes to dance or swim. In a few years, Peggy hopes to be a private secretary to some big executive. WILLIAM O. SHORTZ Bill has certainly been busy in school activities! This vice-presi- dent of the Choir was selected to sing in the District Choir for the past two years. He made a great contribution to both of his class plays. His future plans are to at- tend Upsala College and later sem- inary where he will train to be- come a minister. MARWIN RUBEN STEIN Ruby, who wants to be a finger print expert, also had a real in- terest in Room 22's intramural games. Catching criminals, making money, sleeping, and eating are Ruby's pastimes when he's not working with the 336th Military Police Corps.

His after school activities include working at Zinn's Pharmacy and being vice-president of the Road Kings. Tom enjoys driving the Plymouth and going out with the Big Five. ARDEN LEE SCHWEINBERG Ardie was an active member of Student Council, Y-Teens, and Valistic. We all enjoyed seeing her in Cheaper by the Dozen and at football games as a majorette. Ar- die, our sophomore class vice- president, enjoys swimming and dancing. Her beauty and person- ality will add much to a business office. VIRGINIA SHOGAN Ginny is a peppy person who can be counted on to keep things going in Glee Club and in intra- murals. She also has many outside activities, such as dancing, skating, and riding. Some boss will be mighty pleased to have such a pleasant secretary to brighten up his office. NANCY LOU SIMONELLI Nancy's high school days have been busy ones, what with leading cheers for our athletes, taking part in plays, singing important roles in school musicals, participating in Y-Teen activities, and intra- murals-and having fun with it all.
