THE BINNACLE 19 3 4 To Betty Spehek go Dorothy Archibald’s superb powers of salesmanship. Neal Lytle hasn’t the slightest idea what Adonis-like qualities arc, but having been told that he possesses them, he casts them upon Eddie Warren, the most likely recipent. Are you sure you don’t want them yourself, Neal? The heart-warming friendliness of Jeanette TeLoken becomes the property of May Brown. To the next commander of the guards, Charles Fox leaves the privilege of trying to keep the lobby free from 12A’s who insist upon congregating there to do their civics homework. The histrionic talents of Alice Stanonik, actress extraordinary, arc presented to Ellis Lucas, the most worthy aspirant. With a grand gesture, Paul Akers bequeaths his bashfulness to Bob McPcak. It’s very becoming. Bob. Kathryn Greshauge bestows upon June Pohlman her incomparable dignity. Finding that he no longer needs his crutches, Jack Thornhill joyously tosses them to Clarence Reilly who—alas!—is not so fortunate as Jack. Bob Hodder’s cheerful grin, which he employs so consistently, is passed on to Vincent Nahrstedt with instructions that it appear on all occasions. Although we hate to part with it, we give Nancy Queen’s good nature to Helen Sodja. Frank Mlakar offers to give his witty remarks to anyone who can constitute others as clever. Is that a threat or a promise, Frank? Evelyn Weber and Bill Finn concede their hilarity to Evelyn Kelly and Tom Henry. The inimitable walk of Edmund Rosie” Rosenberg can go to only one person— Tony Cannarozzi. Jimmy Hall becomes the proud possessor of Ed Sawnson’s line, absolutely guaranteed to slay ’em all. Mike Zappia and Harry Palmer’s athletic ability will be dealt impartially to Joe Oros and Dick Nardi, while Joe Tomaro grants to Bob Tait the right to imitate his haircut. Connie Gregory’s nonchalance is something not to be parted with lightly, but we offer it to anyone who can prove himself worthy of it. To Betty Dcl.ong, Genevieve Gerenr bequeaths her dependability, which has been such a comfort to us all. Josephine Anderson and Bob Ruic present their air of good-fellowship to Marjorie Bender and LeRoy Peterson. And now having parted with everything we can spare and many things we can’t, we do set our seal here unto and close the records of our 12 A semester. [31] -------------

19 3 4 THE BINNACLE THE SAILORS BEQUEATH Wc, tlx efficacious Class of January, 19)4, being in good health and of sound mind (although the l2B’s would have you believe otherwise) do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. Article One To Mr. Frank P. Whitney, skipper of the good ship, Collinwood, wc bequeath the right to guide other sailors in their voyages, wishing him a calm sea and fair skies. To Mr. Carl J. Stringer, pilot, is left the dull routine of an uneventful sailing, which must of necessity be his after our departure. We also grant to him such sundry duties as arc explained in detail in Article Three. Article Two The 12B's have already received from us a beautiful loving-cup which they erroneously believe to be tin. We wish hereby to correct this mistaken idea, for the cup is made of shect-meial. May they in turn be as magnanimous as we! We also present to the June class the traditional right of every 12A—getting by with murder. Article Three: Minutiae Henry Reinhard, commander, bestows upon George Bowen his qualities of leadership. Bill Dodge’s vocabulary, which has astounded so many of us, is reluctantly granted to Ray Thomas, whose friends, it is said, are forced to consult Webster in order to appreciate Ray’s linguistic ability. From all of Frances Kocjan's great gifts, she selects her secretarial ability to go to Jane August. Bill Petti, whose coquetry is unsurpassed, graciously permits Roscoc Fulgan to try his best to approach it. Be prudent, Roscoe! Ruth Rulon leaves the somewhat doubtful joys of writing editorials to the next editor-in-chief of the Spotlight. George Theuer has decided to entrust his refulgent top to Mr. Stringer, whom he considers the only one who can really appreciate its rosy glory. George has arranged for careful redistribution, however. Mr. Stringer is to hand it to Harry Knox for the next semester, and, in subsequent 12A classes, to anyone who meets the obvious physical requirements. [30]

19 3 4 THE BINNACLE OUR EFFICACIOUS CREW After considering very seriously the problem of selecting an adjective which would aptly describe the class of January ’34, the committee finally decided that efficacious” was the most suitable. The class as a whole demonstrated its efficaciousness by winning the Spotlight drive, thereby availing itself of the privilege of presenting the 12B's with a loving-cup. Under the direction of several members of the class, the Student Council was managed most efficiently. The noon movie organization will miss the boys who have played the important part of operators. The commander of the hall guards, the lieutenants, and many of the guards themselves have been members of our class. I Ierc arc more facts: 12A-1 A clan president wc all admire is Henry Reinhard. The playing of Gilbert Rogge and Norman Price in the senior hand is all that can be desired. Charles Fox handled the guard system most conscientiously. The courage and fortitude of Stanley Bolta is admired by everyone. The faculty could desire no better student manager for athletics than Joe Romano. The math ability and also the executive ability of William Petti deserve a word of praise. Everyone concedes William Dodge first honors for his high standard of work in science. The good natures of Neal Lytle and Bob Hoddcr have pulled them through many a tight place. George Thcucr't work in the Student Council has always been a high spot in our class. The basketball ability of Chester DiSantis is worthy of notice. A word of praise should Ik- given to Charles Lumaduc for his track accomplishments. Fred Gardner should be complimented on his work in the Glider Club. Jerry Petkovvek and his work of business manager in homeroom deserve praise. The quietness of both William Sadler and Lawrence 'X’agncr does not at all show their industriousness. The cvcr-ready jokes on the tongues of Earl Stover and B. b Ruic make them well appreciated. The crooning of Willard Gcrt . has drawn many a laugh. The carefree attitude of Joe Demshar is always an inspiration. Bob Ehinger’s interest and participation in athletics is known to all. Charles Abramonitz’s playing in the senior orchestra merits a compliment. Elmer Condo. Charles Corbett, Bernard Mulligan, and Bob Gardner arc hall guards of the first caliber. Frank Doles indifference to weighty matters has gained him many friends. Joel Modica's seriousness shows his plugging nature. The mature actions of Lyle Vl’illiamson earn him the respect of all. Paul Akers is always back and forth in the interest of good citizenship. Fred Scheldt is quiet but full of worth-while ideas. 12A-2 Kathryn Greshauge certainly got results from those gym classes she directed. Jo Anderson and Alice Stanonik produced the very best possible results in the many plays in which they have taken part. Mildred Lcdcl and Clara Wyttcnback's art it all that can be desired. Florence Steiner braved the dangers of taking Virgil and Cicero the same semester, and pulled through. As for Mardell Sydenstricher and Frances Stuehringer’s piano playing, nothing need be said. Betty Sharick and Betty Fleidtman may not have set out to do this, but they've earned the reputation of being a Damon and Pythias pair. Nancy Queen’s well-timed questions have staved otf many a recitation. Dot Archibald has proved herself a good salesman, despite the fact that tickets and receipts just would get lost. Janet Ohly and Natalie Peters arc better looking cs’cry time wc sec them. Audrey Brindley proved to be a most efficient hall guard lieutenant, while Edith Bartels filled the position of information girl very capably. Florence Sobolovit . learned to parlez-vous quite fluently. Betty Myers did a little bit of everything, and did it well. Dot Meinkc’s air of good fellowship is still expanding. Fiazcl Grove and Elsie Duvall conquered those fears which assail all honor study hall chairmen and proved that they had the right stuff in them. Marion Caruso’s drawings arc rhe envy of all of us inartistic ones. Jean Schuclc has acquired the position of being a very charming person. Bettic Licbncr has demonstrated that her exuberant spirit can arise above any difficulties. Olga Vimar proved that small people may yet be mighty. Anne Tel vis is convincing proof that a pupil may enter a class late and still become one of its most outstanding members. Margaret Lays and Edna Govan were two guards who helped manage noon movie crowds. Victoria I.upo dui Iter bit towards keeping homeroom records straight. Genevieve Gcrcar distinguished herself as being the only girl in the class who minored in math, even [32]
