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.

J'ANUARY CLASS li N . X R txxixx X Stewart Gloycr Mildred Gordon STEXVART GLOYER Stewie was a very likable fellow and made a host of friends at South. He showed his powers as an athlete by winning track em- blems in '26 and '27, and a cross country numeral in '26. He was a proud member of the championship mile relay team. As Randy Weeks, he scored a decided hit in the senior class play by his portrayal of a typical South- ernigentleman. Just to prove his versatility, he 'acted as sport editor of the Cardinal Weekly. ' MILDRED GORDON Looks are deceiving. Those big brown eyes of Mudie's do not tell the truth. She looks sweet and quiet, but oh my! She was graduated from the English Course. where her work in public speaking was of outstanding quality. XVhat a world of wis- dom fell from lips so young! Mudie is a good booster of both Girls' Club and Shield Club in school. and devotes herself with equal zeal to dramatics outside of school. Z1 Irene Hagen Adolph Hoffmann IRENE HAGEN Champion ticket seller. that's Rene Hagen -and an emblem presented in A---u--um. That she was a favorite among the girls is shown by the fact that she was vice-president of both Junior and Senior Girls' Clubs. Moreover, she was a very able actress, having skillfully portrayed the character of Mrs. Falkner in the January Class Play, Come Our of the Kitchen. One of the finest con- tributions to her schoolmates was the essay which she gave in A on Von Steuben Day. ADOLPH HOFFMANN Bud Hoffman is a very likable chap, al- ways ready with a witty remark for every occasion. The thrill he likes best to recol- lect is the first high mark that he got in high school. Next to that stands his ap- pointment as property manager for the class play. His interest outside of school was golfing, and if he golfs as well as he man- aged properties, he ought to be in a class by himself. ALICE HAGELUND Shorty is just another proof f that all good things come in small packages. For four years, she has brightened the halls of South Division with her cheery smile and quick wit. She came from the Sixteenth Avenue school and enrolled in the Stenographic Course. Through her diligent work, she attained the monitorship of Row 7, where racing down the aisle to take roll supplied her with a real thrill. What time she has left from her pursuit of the monthly excellent is devoted to travel. dancing, and reading. January 1928 knows her for its real all-around representative girl. Her vivacity. skill. friendliness, and scholarship, are qualities which have won this great distinction for her. Alice Hagelund
