LOIFISE JACKSON Louise has only come to our class this year and thus hasn't given us much time to get to know ber. However, she has shown us. through compositions and the like that she has a definite flare for writing. JOHN KENT Having come from a southern school two years ago to join us. .lohnny was unanimously dubbed South-boy by his friends and classmates. Many is the time be has seen fit to draw upon his store of knowledge to say down South . . . . His three-syllable part in the Senior play added to the hilarity of the production. SYLYIA KINBERG Tall. sophisticated Sylvia with her timely. witty remarks has kept the Glee Club in stitches and Mr. Radtke in frowns. She has displayed her dramatic talents in both the ,lunior and Senior class plays: and as a recognition of her ability Sylvia was elected president of the Dramatic Club in her Senior year. GILBERT KINCHEN There arc few people in Woodmere High. be they teachers or students. who have not listened to some of Cil's choice bits of philosophy. He has. however. paid some attention lo studying. and. witl1 the minimum amount of hard work. gained seventh position in the class. and first place in the Senior Essay Contest. ANNETTE KING Annette came to us last year from France and brought with her eye-witness accounts of the war. Annette de- serves most of the credit for bringing the French Club back to life in her Senior year. and as president kept the club working together. ILON KOLBE llon. with her long. raven black hair and olive com- plexion. has come to be known as Woodmere's Ramona , Poise and graciousness seem to have been granted to Ilon in place of the usual school-girl's giggles and chatter. She has been a conscientious worker for Bul- letin throughout her Senior year. LOUISE KOLINSKI Louise. ever since grammar school. has been noted for her excellence in art. As well as being a most valuable addition to the Art Club. she has ably and successfully filled the position of art editor of Patches , Her like- able personality is a welcome addition to any gathering. .IOYE LAFORGE As combination llinah Shore and Lily l'ons.

PATRICIA H ATRY Third from the top. Patsy is one of the most activc girls in the class of forty-four. As secretary of the l.R.C. she has been one of its most contributing members. Patsy is also known for her oratorical and writing talents. IRENE HENDRICKSON Rene is the tall pretty girl who played the part of the beautician in the Senior play this year. Her accom- plishments are rather limited but she is accredited with being the only student to have created anything in Chemistry Club. At present Rene is studying hard as a cadet nurse. GEORGE HERM AN Frank Sinatra's most dangerous rival is our own George Herman. who has had more than one Woodmere Miss swooning. His grand playing on the varsity basketball team this vear. and his broad good natured grin won for George his popularity in Woodmere. NATALIE HERR A chemistry student with explosive lab ability. is Natalie. Her antics in Public Speaking are things to be remem- bered as well. She is forever giggling over a funny story which, when she takes time out to think about. she really enjoys. WALTER HEYMAN Walt has been a very faithful member of the band throughout high school. As suave John Randall in our Senior play. he proved his acting talent. He is better known as the other half of the Bev-Wallt couple . MILES HOYE We can remember Miles as the fellow pitching in those fast curved balls to the bewildered players on the visiting baseball teams last season. This season Miles helped out with the behind stage work in 'gReserve Two for Murder and could always be counted on for his advice concern- ing the use of firearms in the production. FLORENCE HYMES Woodmere's own Paderewski has certainly proved to Woodmere that she has a special technique on the piano. Flo, who is going to continue in her study of music after high school. has also loaned her talents to the French Club and Footlighters . BETTY JACKSON Cute, dark haired Betty could always be seen combing her long locks at both beginning and end of all classes. Her sense of humor broke many a dull moment in class, which was always appreciated. How she could forever find something humorous to say is still puzzling the majority.

it aff PEGGY LINCOLN Peggy's outstanding accomplishment in high school has been her excellence in the field of sports. This merit has won her a position on almost every honor team in girls' athletic competitions. Peg also has a certain envi- able genius for spreading laughter and merriment among her classmates. MAX LIDZ Mickey. the Chinese detective in Reserve Two For Murder, is famed for blurting out the wrong answers in history class, where we're sure he has caused Miss Underhill more than one gray hair. His ability for get- ting into trouble, however. is not overshadowed by his skill for quickly slipping out of it again. ' ELAINE MILLS This little miss. who left us in January. was the only one to represent her class on the cheerleading squad. For such a little girl she had a strong voice but still was comparatively quiet and poised in classes. JANET MARGOLIN When one first goes over Janet's accomplishments in High School, sports, in which she excelled. appears the most prominent. However, she has been Girls Sports Editor of Patches for two years. an active member of the Spanish and Red Cross Clubs, and has been made a permanent member of the Honor Society. RICHARD NEIDICH Dick with his fiery red hair. is a very recent addition to our class. We haven't had much time to become ac- quainted, but there are few people in Woodnlere that are not aware of the fact that animated Dick has become a part of our class. JACK NEER Jackie was a celebrated figure on the basketball court as he raced across the floor with the ball. He proved that one doesn't have to be tall to be a good player. His class pranks and sly grin, however. have about exhausted the teachers. ALBERT POSTREL Tall Al seems to have a business-conscious mind accord- ing to his interest in the business transactions of Patches for the last few years. This year he was awarded the position of business manager. Al doesn't take on a great many responsibilities. but what he does he does well. ROBERT PLONSKY Before the baseball season began. Bob became a working man after school and was usually seen busily racing about on his bicycle. Since spring has rolled around, however. Bobby seems to have centered his interests on baseball and spends his time on the baseball field.
