TIIE CRESCENT, 1924 15 MADONNA MAGERS Yea! Rah! Yea! Club. Although Madonna was a newcomer this year, she settled right down, made friends, and is a regular “old timer.” “Steadfast in thought, well-made, well-wrought.” WALTER HOWARD “Muggsy” sometimes gets lost in Geom, but when it comes to a joke (practical or otherwise)—Oh man! “A jest is a very serious thing.” MARGARET ZAHN. Auburn-haired Margaret is gay, sympathetic, glowing and cares not much for study. One of the merry crowd. “Why dim thy eyes with dusty books?” VENETTI KELLY Annual Staff. Class Play. Dramatic Club. Too light for heavy work, Vinetti’s right there when it comes to the gen-tee! art of the gay. “Lovely are laughter and merriment.” HARLEY C. ANDERSON Debating Club. Class Football. H. S. Basketball. Yea, Harley! Our slender, high-powered forward skimmed after the ball like an eagle. Remember, “Bearcats?” “Swift and sure, with arrow speed.” JOHN PILKINGTON H. S. Football. Johnny has a way of poking fun at people. Essays, football, history and civics form his chief diet. “The genius has ways of his own.”

14 T II E G R ESC ENT, 1924 ROBERT FOGERTY “Forge” Staff. Annual Staff. Debating Club. Sober, sincere, twinkly-eyed; he lacks no poise—but avoirdupois. “And still the wonder grew how one small head could carry all he knew.” MABEL SHULTZ Demure and serene, Mabel pursues her quiet life. A persevering worker, she “delivers the goods.” “A calm life is a sweet delight. PHILOMENA WUNDER Precision is the twin of honesty, they say. “Phil” surely must be honest then. Work matters little when accuracy depends. “Concentration is the key to mathematics.” VERA BALSER Yea! Rah! Yea! Club. Very fastidious and very fashionable is precise Vera. No danger of her not having a good time, either. “Is she not passing fair?” MARTHA L. SMITH Class Secretary. Annual Staff. Girls’ Glee Club. Here’s a live wire. A dynamic push characterizes all she does. Martha even chaws peanuts quite forcefully. “To the energetic, the world.” VIOLET PHILLIPS Annual Staff. Girl’s Glee Club. Violet makes merry with the faculty, rushes helter-skelter among the students, and is rather handy in the artistic line. “The one who overpowers bad humor.”

16 T H E C RESCENT, 19 2 4 PAUL OSBORN Radio Club. Band. Orchestra. Dramatic Club. Class Play. “Make haste slowly” believes the deliberate “Tuck.” He is capable, somewhat reserved, and packs a ready smile. “Ability doth hit the mark.” LEROY VANNESS Dark-eyed, black-haired, ruddy-cheeked Roy sweats over his Chemistry. He’s a modest young fellow, usually making good. “Men of few words are best.” HARVEY BERTSCH A big brain, big body, and a big heart—Harvey Bertsch. Rather serious-minded, but easily “cracks a smile.” “A worker, forever reaping something new.” LUTON COOK H. S. Football. Ahem! Meet “Dr.” Luton Cook, immortalized in drama. “Cookie” also wrote his name in El-Hi football history. “The cheerful live longest in years.” EARLE A. WIMER H. S. Football. “Snakes” led a fighting eleven. If he plays the game of life as he played football, success will be his. “O Captain! The fearful trip is done.” JOHN S. GRIMES Debating Club. Annual Staff. The terror of debaters! This small, keen lad devotes much time to study. May his voice some day thrill a nation! “A mint of phrases in u colossal brain.”
