SILVER A .N'NIVERS.-l If Y :famous Graduates A. H. S. has always had many distinguished sons and daughters in every field of life. From the old Ryan High came Edna Ferber, Dr. John Murphy and others. From our present high school we have a notable list of graduates. We are presenting briefly some facts about a few of our alumni who have attached unusual attention since their graduation. Francis Bradford, 'l6, has distinguished himself as an artist. ln l922 he won the Prix de Rome which granted three years of study in Rome. Since he has been back in this country, he has opened a studio in New York and is very busy. He is especially interested in doing large mural paintings. Alvin Kraemer, 'l2, has made a success as a dress designer in New York. Many of the stage and screen actresses that we gaze on have had their costumes designed by Alvin. Oscar Schmiege, '20, has been elected three times as an assemblyman in the as- sembly at Madison. When Oscar was elected the first time he had the distinction of being the youngest assemblyman. Rose Ryan, '20, is our only woman lawyer. She has recently passed the state bar examination and is now practicing law in Appleton. Gladys Bagg Taber, '16, now of Lynchburg, Virginia, has been busy writing poems, which have been published in Poetry Magazine, and plays and songs in collabor- ation with her husband who is a musician. Her first book of poetry, Lyonnasse, has just been published by The Bozart Press. Austin Saecker, '14, has won several prizes at the Wisconsin Artists exhibit, has spent a year studying in France and now has a studio in Appleton where he is very busy. We are proud to have some of his work for this anniversary number. Irving Schwerke, 'l2, is at present the musical critic for the Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune. He has also published two books on music. The Clarion was much interested in the following letter. It came to us from Mr. A. F. Warren of the National l..umberman's Bank of Muskegon, Michigan, who sent it because he thought Mr. Schmidt's Alma Mater would be greatly interested in his success: On October l, 1928, the Trustees of the Central Manufacturing District, Chicago, appointed Andrew A. Schmidt Industrial Agent of the District. He comes to his new post from that of General Superin- tendent of the District, which duties he performed since June l, l925, prior to which time he was valuation engineer for the Chicago junction 64 Chicago River 61 Indiana Railroads. Mr. Schmidt will have general supervision over all branches of the District operation, including both sales and construction. His heads quarters will be at 1305 First Nat'l Bank Bldg., Chicago. ML Schmidt was born at Appleton, Wis.g was graduated from Appleton High School with the class of l908. lltllllt' lrt'r'illyf.vi,r

A sea of shadow breaks against you, The stars, like drops from a falling fountain, Shatter the dark sky over you, And when the white, reluctant moon has gone, You lift against the silver surf of dawn Your un-worn, constant shore.

I am a little voice. no more, Crying far down in the fold of the valley, But I lift my eyes to the blue peace of you, The unrebellious strength that lifts the sky, And I too even find security, even I ----- Blue Mountain.
