JANUARY CLASS Smith Brickhouse Hedwig Dziczkowski SMITH BRICKHOUSE Smith Brickhouse, better known as Brick. came to South from Kenosha in his sophomore year. Football was his biggest interest, and he gained a numeral and em- blem in '26 and '27. Basketball also gave him a championship emblem in '27, Al- though Brick's first attempt at track oc- curred in '27, he made his numeral for fine work in the Washington meet. Brick was an active member of the Science and Hi-Y Clubs. HEDWIG DZICZKOWSKI A sweet, retiring maid, this morsel of stenographic eliciency. She came from Forest Home Avenue school. did Hedwig, and walked not only into South Division but right into the hearts of her classmates as well, Century. Girls' Club, and Shield Club. all have a claim on her, but her proudest moments were spent in Assembly A, taking notes on Cobie's speeches. Her spare moments are spent in skating and hiking. .19 Billy Butch Leroy DuBrucq BILLY BUTCH Every class play has to have its butler, and in Come Out of the Kitchen Billy did his stuff. He entered South Division from the Albert E. Kagel school, and was gradu- ated from the Elective Course. He was well- known and well-liked by his classmates. To boost the football team by selling tickets for the games was a pet diversion with him. During the suminer vacation he attended the C. M. T. C.. and in his odd moments made an honest penny with ushering. LEROY DUBRUCQ Frenchie is the handle of LeRoy Du Brucq, and French he sounds. too. Some- thing of the artistry of his name resides in his nature also. Some architectural work. done for a contractor got his picture into the Cardinal weekly and into a city newspaper. He prefers architectural engineering to busi- ness, but likes both. According to Roy his greatest experience in school was the friend- ships he formed among his classmates. DOROTHIE BURMEISTER Music hath charms, and so - hath the musician: especially Dorothie Burmeister who came to us from the Albert E. Kagel school. Dorothie. a capable and talented girl. was enrolled in the Stenographic Course, but there was music in her soul. It was revealed to us in the 1926 Christmas program, when she and her two brothers played for us. Although she claims that she doesn't care about steno- graphic work, she has shown too that she has great talent in that direction. Business sense found together, but nature has endowed Dorothie with a mind that leads. and a soul that sings. 'With her talent, a successful career is in store for her. XVhat more would ye? Dorothie Burmeistcr and artistic sense are seldom.

l8 CARDINAL ANNUAL Frank Bauer Harold Beck FRANK BAUER Hans Bauer. whose middle name should be Versatility. did everything from math to track in his checkered career. Although he chased the pigskin with vigor. and footed it fieetly round the track. he also had time for the gentler things of life, like Glee Club, Hi-Y, Civics Club, Class Commission, Senior play, and--well, you know. The thing he likes best to remember was the time he punted from behind the goal line in the Wash- ington game and saved the day for South. HAROLD BECK First to Bay View, then to South Divi- sion came a certain chap known as Happy Beck. He is well named, for a more genial fellow it would be hard to find. The dark secret of his life is that despite his healthy appetite and contagious smile he likes good poetry! By the law of variation he was out for football in his freshman year at Bay View. It was a wonderful experience for him and he enjoyed it. Isabelle Brace Ruth Borck ISABELLE BRACE The self-confidence of Bracey is not to be daunted by a meek voice. She saysthat she'll overcome it yet even though her first attempt at a Girls' Club program frightened the sound clean out of her. Isabelle came from the Bay View High school'and was a student of stenography, even though she was graduated from the Elective Course. Stenography, she hopes, will enable her to continue her dancing and dramatic training so that she may eventually go on the stage. RUTH BORCK Boots, or Borkie as some of us call her, entered South Division from the Scott Street school. Her friendly personality and her in- terest in her fellow students won her many friends in short order. Once a member of the Girls' Club and the Glee Club she de- voted herself whole-heartedly to the interests of these organizations. By very hard and persistent work she was able to complete .this four year course in a period of three years. JACOB BEDENIK Jacob Bedenik. alias Jake, came to South from the Six- teenth Avcnue school. Jake's interest in athletics gained for him a track numeral in '27, also a medal and a football em- blem in '27. He was on the team that won third place in a four-mile relay race at the Mar- quette meet, and he admitted that thrills like that make one feel good. Jake's blushing smile together with his athletic tendencies has captured the hearts of his classmates and made a se- cure place for him in the an- nals of South. As manager of the class play, Come Out of the Kitchen, he showed executive ability worth noting. By the way. smiles like his are not discovered eve ry day. neither are the men who have them. Jacob Bedenik
