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.

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. Joye is for- ever entertaining the student body with her melodious voice. She is active in other fields as well and plays a fast and effective game of basketball. Her puns and witticisms cannot be equalled by anyone, in and about xv0lTdIll8F0. A1

MORTEN PRESLOFF It seems that Morten came and left Woodmere before letting us get to know him. He was absent from school for several months because of a serious illness but managed to make up the work and successfully pass his exams. His most outstanding extra-curricular activity was track. PETER PROVENZANO The January class' only representative on the football team last year was l'ete . His broad shoulders and sturdy build helped to account for his praiseworthy football playing. Of course. you remember him as one of the gang who continually patronized Barak's. JANE RASMUSSEN That tall. attractive girl. who was often to be seen rushing around trying to stir up business for the P.T.A. dance was none other than our own .lane Rasmussen. The r .t of her time was divided lzetween participating in tain sports and being just generally happy. ,F 0 , VINCENT RAU L- 'T ., Many is tht- girl that has fallen for that devastating com- bination of good looks. athletic ability. and smooth line that go to make up Vinnie's winning personality. As chairman of the committee for the l'.T.A. dances. he has shown both originality and leadership. ,lACQl'El,lNE RAUCH As a member of the Red Cross Club. Activities Board. and Dramatic Club. Jackie has shown us her interest in school activities. She has been especially active in the latter of the three. Her abilities are definitely along the creative line. for she produces both enviable art and written work. I. NWREN I IE ROSEN HERG Larry is the fellow who lirened up most of our classes. especially study-halls. He is a real sports fan and is well acquainted with the activities of all the football and baseball teams. l.ast season he was assistant manager of Woodmere's football team. PATRICIA RUBEL As far as it is possible to discern. Pat's favorite occupa- tion. during her years in high school. has been getting in and out tshe hopes! of trouble. Our champion chatter- box and prankster is hard to miss with her flaming red hair and uncontrollable giggle. l,UCILI.E SALITAN Lucille will debate with anyone on any subject at the drop of a bat. llcr extra-curricular activities in school have been mainly confined to the Red Cross Club, in which she has worked especially hard. We wish her the greatest of luck in the medicinal profession. which she plans to follow. ,....'i
