l l JANUARY CLASS Elaine Schubring Robert Schuster ELAINE SCHUBRING An eager, wide-eyed little freshman opened the door of South Division in February. 1924. She's still a little girl, but no longer a freshman-indeed, she has all the ear- marks of seniority, even a nickname, Boots. It all came from the fact that she danced along her way. Elaine was agile in other things also --in public speaking for instance, where her eyes they spak sic things. Outside of school she dances, swims, toboggans, and makes music all the day. ROBERT SCHUSTER Bob has distinguished himself in the Glce Club where he has proved a valuable asset to thc music department. He was also a member of the Science Club. His South Division friends well remember him as the natty sailor in the school revue as well as a fine fellow in the classroom and in the cor- ridor. for he was above all a gentleman. Outside of school, Bob's time is taken up with music, especially the piano. 27 Eugenie Skacel Dorothy Schroeder EUGENIE SKACEL Eugenie Skacel enrolled in the Accounting Course. Now she has left South as a full- fledged stenographer and accountant. Jean's outside interests are varied. including skating, swimming, the movies, her dog. her ukelele, and, of course, Stephanie. Her charming personality and her captivating laugh have endeared her to many. When Burns wrote his poem entitled Jean he must have been thinking of someone who re- sembled our Jean. DOROTHY SCHROEDER With her sunny disposition and her de- lightful power of leadership Dorothy will always seem to us the ideal girl. XVhen Dot joined the Girls' Club and the Shield Club, her sense of responsibility and her pleasing personality won for her six of the highest offices of these organizations including secre- tary of Girls' Club '24, treasurer '27, presi- dent '27, treasurer Shield Club '25, '26, vice-president '26, president '27, MARGARET SHAW Margie!

26 Mildred Reiss Eugene Reich MILDRED REISS In her quiet, unobtrusive way Millie has made an enviable place for herself at South. NVhat if she did get lost on the first day of school-she's never been lost since, not even in the maze of Girls' Club, Science Club, and Shield Club activities. She was a ring girl, and squad leader of Shield, and vice- president of the Girls' Glee Club, not to mention an Assembly A reporter all through the entire year of '27. EUGENE REICH Many men are versatile, but to Eugene Reich goes the distinction of being a scientist, a public speaker, an athlete, and a property man. Gene's versatility began to develop at the Sixteenth Avenue school whence he was graduated. His real versatility was dis- played during his senior year when he won a football numeral, and became assistant proper- ty manager of the class play. Besides public speaking, Gene likes electrical work, and in- tends to be an electrical engineer. CARDINAL ANNUAL iss' :Gif - . . c Q: R. I X ' fig..

28 Cornelia Simon Judith Tobiason CORNELIA SIMON Cornelia to the faculty. Connie to her classmates. XVhat's in a name, anyhow? Enough that Connie came to South as a junior from Alma High school. Alma, Wis- consin. When she entered South for the first time, she was almost as green as a freshie, but she ripened in an incredibly short time. Her chief interests outside of school are hik- ing. attending theatres. and visiting the museum. The last is her pet hobby. JUDITH TOBIASON Judy hailed from the Twenty-Seventh Avenue school and entered upon the Steno- graphic Course at South. She joined the Shield Club, and the Girls' Glee Club. No musical program at South was complete with- out Judy. Although of a very quiet nature, she electrified everyone in 1927 by selling the most tickets for The Elijah, an oratorio in which the combined city high schools participated at the Auditorium. Judith loves to skate, hike. and sing. CARDINAL ANNUAL XX.. .. Frank Stopar Eugene L. Szymanski FRANK STOPAR Frank Stopar, who is Ossie to the initiated, was graduated from the Elective Course. hav- ing entered from the Pershing school. He was a member of the Newsboys' Club. and attended one of the state track meets at Madison. He says that he has a vivid memory of the fun at that state meet. Frank likes skating, bowling, and other sports. in fact, he's quite an out-of-doors. all-around young man. EUGENE SZYMANSKI Way from the Hollywood High school, Gene Szymanski came to roost at South. Here he identified himself with the Century. the Science Club, and the Boys' Glee Club. He cherishes most, however, his managership of two champion baseball teams and his tilts at amateur football. To amuse himself he accompanied jazz orchestras on the piano -another proof of the versatility that comes out of the West. He often plays at the senior dances. CLARA SXVITALSKI A slim. curly-haired girl with an ever ready smile-that's Clara. During her stay at South she has been known as a diligent student, eager for her share of work. As a member of the Science Course she has made a distinct place for herself in the academic life of the school. She also won the admiration of her friends through her modest and pleasing personality. Clara's chief interest is to become an ef- ficient saleslady, an ambition that is heartily endorsed by her classmates who recognize her good parts, They argue that if a pleasing appearance, industry, and business ability are of any use in that field of endeavor, she will succeed. No one will ever forget her. for one does not forget those that one desires to keep in mind always. Clara Switalski
