Being an all-around athlete Carm” won a berth on the varsity baseball team for four years. We can never forget Carm,” for what he lacked in size he certainly made up for in ability.

Lenny also participated in the activities of the Art, History, and Glee Clubs. His interest in dramatics was shown by his effective per¬ formance of Ted” in the Christmas play, Our Miss Brooks and the Christmas Carol!” It was truly a wise choice when he was selected chairman of ushers at the Junior Prom, for without Lenny our class just wouldn’t have been complete. 21
