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

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.

t5 .nn IRWIN BOOTH Irwin. one of the quieter members of the class of forty- four. By insisting on handing in English assignments late, he has very often been the cause of the raising of Miss Russell's famed eyebrow. ALICE SCHIFFMACHER Alice plays piano very well and was often asked by the Spanish Club. of which she was an earnest member. to play for their meetings. If you can remember the scenery of the Senior Play. Alice did prompting for center stage which meant that she had to stand in cramped quarters throughout the performance. .dl6'i?b s' , '7 CAROL SCHULMAN With her brains and creative imagination. we are sure she will go far in the ficld of literature which she has chosen as her career. In her position as Secretary of the French Club, and Librarian of the International Rela- tions Club. Carol has proved her ability to us. BARBARA SCOTT Tiny Scotty spends most of her time worrying about how to stretch herself to five feet. so she can enter Nurses' Training. Her comical capers in Clee Club have caused Mr. Radtke many an unhappy moment. but cheer- ful humor has often entertained her classmates. LESTER SEAMAN Lester is seldom seen without a violin under his chin and the bow in his hand. This member of the renowned Desert Rats has entertained us several times in mu- sicals and assembly programs with his violin music. We're wondering if there is any French blood in him to inspire that beret. AMELIA SMITH Coming to our school from the city just last year. Amy spent a good half year trying to persuade her classmates to call her by her nickname and not Amelia. She easily adjusted herself to our school. and it seems that she has always been with us. A most likeable person, she is worth knowing. JOAN SMITH As far as we can judge. ,Ioan's favorite activity is just talking to anyone at any time. This auburn-haired young lady caused more than one uproar in third year Spanish class, much to Senora's distress. MICHAEL STEIN Mike's sense of humor is known by all. If he isn't shining his fingernails or cracking his knuckles. he can probably lie seen telling jokes. His dream girl is the glamorous movie star. Marilyn Maxwell. and you can't blame him for dreaming. 9
