F Doris Wilkes “Bobby” Who can deny that Doris is a friend indeed? She is just the sunny, capable sort of person that everybody loves. Her talents are too numerous to mention. Well do we remember her undisputed eminence in American History. But it is with equal proficiency that she accomplishes whatever she undertakes. Surely she is one of whom Mynderse may well be proud. Robert Wilson “Lee” This is “Golden-Locks”, the cartoonist. For an all-around good sport, he fills the bill. Whether it’s acting on the stage or driving a car, he is equally proficient. Without Lee, our class would be without a genuine humorist. For who can he serious with Lee around? Leah Wood “Les” Here’s Leah, the talkative senior. But we’ll have to hand it to you, Les. You have made many history periods shorter by delivering a lecture when asked to answer a question. We all like Leah, big words and all, and hope that she will find the world an easy place in which to live. Page 21

William Van Arsdale “Bill” Tho’ the hour be late, and then minutes fly, He’ll be right here by and by. A honk; a rattle; a squeak; a whiz! The door opens, and here it is. Bill is always cheerful and ready to help out in any way he can. His many warm friends wish him the success he so well deserves. Bertha Van Riper Bertha is a quiet soul, who carries herself in a most charmingly dignified manner. But she’s just the best kind of friend imaginable, with her ready smile and solicitude. She’s another of our most successful business students, and we are sure the same success which she has achieved here will follow her in later life. Hamilton White “Ham” “Ham” has been stepping out since he has had permission to drive “Dad’s Car”. That may be the cause of his popularity among the fair ones lately, especially the brunettes. He evidently doesn’t believe that “gentlemen prefer blondes.” Now we’d like to know who the girl was who wrote letters to our modest senior, that caused so much anguish? How about it. Ham? Adolph Wildner Adolph is the sort of boy who would do his best and then try to do better. Never quelled by a failure, he rises up and tries again. Adolph’s special pleasure is Latin IV, and many are the joyful hours he spends over his favorite lesson. Perhaps he thinks differently, but we know it’s true.

These Students expect to Join the Senior Class in June Nettie Burroughs Nettie is a good student and a good friend. Always ready to help, she has made herself well-liked by all who are at Mynderse. The only failing Nettie seems to have is lack of confidence in herself, but one day she’ll outgrow that, and then she’ll truly come into her own. We wish her much good luck after her graduation. Beatrice Fegley “Bee” “Wait a moment, girls. I’m coming.” That’s Bee. Bee’s a rare good sport and a jolly companion. Where she is, you’re sure to hear a laugh, for she’s a well of mirth, constantly bubbling over. She is one of our most colorful girls. Few would dare to wear bold gypsy colors, but Bee does it was a dash and brilliance that is quite the despair of the rest of us. But then, she is an individualist. William Fuess “Bill” It is very certain that Bill will never have to worry about a restricted vocabularly. He has often been acclaimed the silver-tongued orator of the Senior Class. Never at loss for something to recite he has filled in programs that would otherwise have been incomplete. Remember Bill’s rhythmic cheer leading and dancing steps? His ready flow of words and quick wits will take him far. Willis Thacker “Willie” Next comes our musical member, the Kreis-ler to be. All of us have enjoyed hearing him play his violin in our school orchestra. But, Willie, you must overcome your bashfulness; you know the best accompanists are of the gentler sex. Kenneth Waldorf “Kennie” Please don’t overlook “Kennie”. This talented gentleman is the future Raphael or Michael Angelo of America. He is a good student too, but we look for an artistic career for him with unlimited laurels. Page 22 I
