You don't need to declare the variables.

If they are class variables, it usually doesn't make a lot of sense to
initialize them every time you create an instance of this class.
Maybe the initialization of those variables should be put outside the
initialize method, or if the values they might have could be different
on each instance of the class, then leave them as instance variables.
