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

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

ROBERT STEINBERG Few classes or clubs have missed hearing some of Bob's favorite puns. All of Bob's time is not spent in joking though. as is shown by his being president of the Inter- national Relations Club. his second place position in the Senior Essay Contest. and his place as sixth in the class. HELENE SULZER Helene is another one of those active and scholarly mem- bers of the class of '44. Tenth in her class. red-headed Helene. has worked on Patches. gone regularly to the Wavecrest Convalescent Home. and has intermingled several sports with her numerous other activities. HOWARD SYRKIN s Tall Syrk '. as the fellows call him. was also a January graduate. He was active in the line of sports. especially in baseball. Although he was forever being kidded about his big feet. he was well liked by all his fellow class- mates as being a really swell person. ENA VOCEL Although Ena's interests have lain outside of school. and. mainly in Omega Pi Lambda. she has nevertheless been a most valuable member of our class. Her pretty face, and friendly personality have brightened many otherwise cloudy days. KATHRYN WALKER An enthusiastic math student. Kay also appreciates the wonder of Chemistry. She was a member of the Spanish Club in her Junior and Senior years and is always willing to hablar at the drop of the pin iwhich she received for excellence in her second year of the languagel. HELEN WALTER llimpled Helen with her frequent giggle has been a favorite of her classmates and rather pleasant headache to the faculty. Helen has made her way into almost every sport and club the school has to offer. Not to be out- weighed by her part in the school activities. her scholar- ship record has placed her fourth in her class. RUTH WEINDORF Little Ruth is one of our more modest and shy class- mates. The Clee Club. with which she appeared in Show- boat . seems to have been Ruth's favorite activity throughout her high school career. Although rather re- served. she has also taken part in several sports. WANDA WEINER Woodmere and the class of '44 gained Walndzl from Hempstead in '51-2. Blonde Wanda gave an enviable per- formance as the attractive usherette in our Senior play. Dramatic Club has also had her membership and has benefited by her honest efforts to help out in any way. ,. wt, Qs, cy' -Wi:-'af-ff Y . ' so K
