UL BIDS: A DEE We suppose, dear reader, that you recognized all of the Garbo’s and Gable’s on the preceding seven pages. Did you observe that note of purity in Judy Bulla’s picture? Ann Clementson certainly takes a poor picture for one who really portrays Grecian beauty in real life. Look again at that “Frankie and Johnny” smile on Ekeberg’s face. Then, too, we must admit that some of us have been considerably flattered by Bill Larson’s photographic skill. Irrespective of outside appearances, however, there are those among us who attained such intellectual heights as to be honored with Phi Beta Kappa keys. The accomplished scholars are Ann Clementson, Sally Dupee, Constance Elliott, Margaret Keyes, Chuck Heiss, Eleanor Holmes, Lois Rehnberg, John Strong, and Bill Wirtz. We are very proud to have such a large number of students in our small class win these coveted keys. Strong and Wirtz were also able to extend the repu- tation of their college with their oratorical talents, by placing in numerous contests. There is one member of our class who deserves particular recognition due to the unique method with which he was financially able to complete his under-graduate career at Beloit; namely, Marvin “Brink” Ottilie. Marvin played the role of a barber in the afternoon, a waiter at meal-time, a preacher on Sunday, a gardener during his spare moments, and proctor at the Freshman dormitory in the evenings. It almost looks as though Marvin was supporting a family somewhere. Besides all this, the enterprising young student was able to earn excellent grades and find himself a place on the varsity track team. It is now in order to make mention here of “‘Stumper” Gilbert and “‘Reporter”’ Raymer. Gilbert, when he first came to Beloit, was no more than a plodding farmer boy who lifted his feet high when he maneuvered, even as he did in the fertile grazing lands from whence he came. After a couple of years here among his intellectual classmates, however, he was able to raise his pedal extremities to a new height, that of elevating his large form and exaggerated voice box to the tops of soap containers in order that his eager democratic listeners might hear him roar out (with adequate gestures) criticisms of the corrupt Republican Party. Raymer, on the other hand, is our ambitious Daily News reporter who has the eye of a Pathe News camera and literery style of a Gibbons. Incidentally, he is the author of the excellent article on the Faculty, all of which we hope you read. Larrie has familiarized the townspeople of Beloit with the College by appropriate advertising of its doings. We regret that space will not permit us to reel off semi-biographies of other members of our scintillating class, even though we would like to tell you about “Tittle Annie of Chapin Street” and that golden-haired man of hers, ‘‘pyro-maniac”’ Hinton. Seriously, though, every one of us who is being graduated only finds consolation on leaving his Alma Mater by virtue of the tradition that most alumni return at least once or twice a year to reminisce in an environment which they have made dear to themselves. For one to have lived for four years in surroundings such as those found only in Beloit is to have endeared oneself to them. Naturally enough, our various interests have taken their several paths, but the interests of each one of us, whether they have taken one or many paths, have been successfully and uniquely accommodated as only Beloit could do. ae

LL eee eelcA tore (7 bare te 05 4. One of the most versatile classes ever to enter Beloit College, the class of 1934 has always taken an active part in all campus activities. Its members have been mainstays of the athletic teams, forensic squads, dramatic groups and publication staffs for the past two years. Class officers chosen in the fall of 1932 are: John Martin, president; Dorothy Buell, vice-president; Louise Kleinschrot, secretary; and Lloyd Maurer, treasurer. Juniors who have achieved athletic distinction in football are Bill Fitzgerald, captain-elect of the 1933 Gold team, John Gach, George Kelley, Les Kuplic, John Martin, George Saar, and Sid Stair. In basketball, Dick Kelly, Les Kuplic, Dan Schaefer, Art Whitson, Dick Calland, and Vic Fischer have been responsible for much of the Gold’s success. Don Berg, Jim Miller, Rollie Ostermick and Clarence Schloemer have been consistent performers on Beloit’s track squads. Calland, Kelly, and Kuplic are all members of the tennis team, one of the strongest in Beloit’s history, while Ed Landstrom and Walt Blakely were members of last year’s cham- pionship golf team. Joe Brandt, John Martin, and Lloyd Maurer were the Juniors on the 1933 varsity debate squad which had one of the most successful seasons in years. James Allen, Bob Gordon, John Raach, Bob Rose, Janet de Gelleke, Elaine Jacobson, Dorothy James, and Marion Weisenberger have all been active in Players and Shakespeare productions. Bob Fulton, and Tom Lourim have de- signed most of the scenery used, and James Allen has directed some of the plays. The class is ably represented on the staff of the Round Table by the associate editors, Brandt Ridgway and Curt Shepard, the campus editor, Dick Calland, and the news editor, Anna Louise Burlingame. John Gach is an associate sports editor, and Roland Schoen superintends the inquiring reporter. Members of the class are also on the editorial and reportorial staff of the Gold. Since its original organization in 1930 the class has displayed a fine group spirit and has co-operated whole heartedly in all campus movements. It has maintaineda scholastic average of 1.346 for five semesters with Anna Armstrong, Dorothy Buell, Anna Louise Burlingame, Helen McCoy, James Allen, Edgar Branch, John Gach, and John Martin receiving consistent recognition for high individual averages. Branch, the recipient of the Junior Foreign Fellowship, has been studying in London the past year. | Juniors have contributed greatly to the success of the Vesper and A’Capella choirs as well as to such organizations as Ka Ne, Forum Club, International Re- lations, Y.
