Seniors n n w Senior class officers, Richard Shimshak, Henry Funk, and Betty Donndelinger chat informally with Father Pritzl. Shimshak, however, seems to be carrying the burden. The officers of the Aquinas Guild, Mrs. Rudolph Horshack, Mr. John Wall- jasper, Mrs. Arthur Scheel. and Mr. George Bettin, get together after being elected and pose for the cameraman. The old saying a little learning is a dangerous thingu is taken seriously by Rita Bettin, Margaret Brody, Jean Desmond, Rita Weigel, Rita Rach, and Ellen Lyga, who are delving deeply into the sources of knowledge. There'1l be no in- tellectual skating on thin ice for them. William Rudolph proves that Latin's no dead language as he gives a lively Father Claire Cooney performance to entertain the third and fourth year students at a Latin meeting, Religion while Robert Scheel, president, enjoys the fun. Interrupted by the telephone is Mrs. Russell Good, Aquinas' registrar and secretary. Although new in her duties, she is familiar with the school for it's her Alma Mater. She was graduated in 1936. Typical teeners are these Trumpete-ers, as yearbook signing swings into session. I i p- 4 . N ,..,1.g-Jff : . . . 'F5P'5f'E:.f Take unto you the Helmet of Salvation In Crusadlng for Peace. 16
