GEORGE M. GERNERI) Behold, the other one of the popular Gernerd twins. George is famous throughout C H. S. for his wavy hair, but to the disappointment of many of the opposite sex he classes himself as a woman-hater. George shines brightest in physics class and athletics. He played football basketball and baseball, serving in the capacity of captain of the varsity nine during his Senior year. Besides this, like his brother, he is also very good at tennis. George talks much about Mining Engineering, but whatever course he takes he has the best wishes of the Class of ’26. DOROTHY II. MERTZ “Dot” Beauty has no charms There was no girl in attendance at C. H. S. who was better known than Dot. Dot has always been a faithful worker for her class, both socially and educationa-ally, and as a result of her speaking ability, she won first prize in the oratorical contest. However, not being satisfied with this alone, she also captured first prize in the county contest. Dot’s profession, we imagine, will be teaching. ROBERT J. WEIIR “Dizzy” Much study is a weariness of the flesh “Dizzy, one of the most prominent boys in the class, has always tried to take life USo far he has accomplished his task well, although he and his Ford have been a credit to the Class of ’26. Robert served on the baseball team for two years and one year on the basketball team. In both these sports he exhibited marked ability and the Class of 26 is proud of him.

CHARLES G. GERNERD “Charlie” Charles, the second son of Mr. and Mrs Gernerd, entered first grade September 1st’ 1916. Heinp asked his name he answered clearly, “I am the Gernerd twins.” And he was, for he answered to either or neither name, just as the spirit moved him. In the course of time his teachers became so fond of him that many a lesson was after 1 o’clock ‘‘free of charge.” He has become quite proficient as a baseball as well as a star basketball player. Here is success to you. Charles. May you bring fame and honor to the Class of 20 M. ALICE TRANKLEY “Alice” Alice, who is not. and who we believe does not like to be called Marv, which really is her first name, is one of the most studious members of our class. Of her studies we are quite sure she liked History best of all. for it was seldom if ever that a history question got the best of her. She took part in all High School plavs was Vice President of her class in her Freshman and Junior years and President in her Senior year. She also spoke at the oratorical contest and was editor on the t oplayite staff. Her efforts were crowned when she got a place on the honor roll. STANLEY E. ANTHONY “Stunt” ‘ Through sunshine and rain and all kinds of weather. Stunt and his fliver have been pals together.” Stanley, a lively and athletic inclined chap, was with us all through our High School career; very bashful and discreet at first, but soon emerging the jolly laughing boy he is now. Rather girl shy, we did not know him at first, but he is a friend of both sexes by this time. He plaved on the baseball team, served on the basketball team, and won fame on the illustrious football team of C. H. S

LOUIS H. SCHAADT “Butch” “Butch.” one of the most popular youths among the weak sex of our High School, really has led an exceptionally fine High School career. During h's Junior year he served as Vice President of the Literary Society and as President in his Senior year. He was also Captain of the ’26 basketball team and a member of the varsity club. He took a great interest in athletics — starred in football, basketball and baseball. In baseball his spectacular catches in the outfield will never be forgotten by the many High School rooters. Besides this he also has the distinction of being one of the oratorical contest speakers. MARGARET B. GEORGE “Marge” This extremely studious girl came to us in the fall of H125. She is bright and merry and full of amiable qualities, but oh, beware, her temper; it rises suddenly, sometimes when least expected. You may think the boys are no attraction to “Marge,” but there is where you make a mistake. It appears that her favorite is a good looking Senior. She was a member of the Dramatic Club and also Vice President of our class. FRANK GROLLER “Frankie” Frank is the little fellow of our class, however, we cannot always judge one’s mental capacity by his appearance. During his Junior year at High School, Frank was only known as a hard worker and an earnest student. He has a love for art and there his light seems to shine. He has always been loyal to his class, society and the school. On more than one occasion when someone failed to perform his part, Frank consented bravely to act as substitute. Success is yours, Frank.
