In this paper, the authors formulate a simple classical model without Grassmann variables. Quantization of this model gives a unified quantum-mechanical description for massive and massless particles of arbitrary spin and helicity. In the phase space of the classical model a bosonic version of the super-Poincare algebra is realized. At the quantum level it generates the spectrum of the model.
