After Four Years FLORENCE CHAMBERL AIN Florence left the ranks of the senior class and the class regretted to lose her as one of its classmates. Florence advocated roller-skating as a slenderizing process. JEANETTE CHRISTEN Just another Christen girl. Jeanette was quite often chased about by Miss Worthman and Mr. Anderson, acting as treasurer of the senior class and Commer¬ cial Club president. VIOLA ELLSWORTH When a freshman, Viola was called “Moonlight Murphy”. She is a happy, smiling girl who frequently asked, “Have you paid your Scholastics?” LEWIS FENNIG Lewis, one of our tall good-looking seniors, just wouldn’t give the girls a break. But he was an artist, and when asked to do such work, he responded will¬ ingly. Florence Chamberlain Jeanette Christen Joanna Daily ' .elan Drake Edwin Eic h horn JOANNA DAILY Joanna came from South Side when a sophomore. Mr. Anderson and Bob Beav¬ ers considered her an ideal stenographer, and she was selected to serve as typist on the Ravelings Staff. ZELNO DRAKE Zelno, a small and quiet lad, proved the old adage, “Still water runs deep.” He acted as postman for Dorothy and Angie. And, incidentally, he is quite pleasing to the eyes. EDWIN EICHHORN “Ed” was a typical example of a few of the sleepy people in school. Last year he played a sousaphone in Bob Johnson’s orchestra. Ed is also given credit for starting the mustaches around school- ESTHER FISHER “Fish” was always being teased by the boys in the fifth period art class. Esther said, “I just hate ’em all,” but she teased them right back. ROBERT FRANZ “Romeo” came from Monmouth when he was a junior, and stepped right into the editorship of our annual. Bob was a sec¬ ond Shakespeare to us who knew him. EUGENE FRIEDT “Pop”, a quiet reserved boy in school, would, in our opinion, make an ideal North Canadian lumberman. To this statement, Pop replied, “Yeah, it would be 0. K. if there were rabbits up there.” Twenty.

They Stand before You EVELYN ADAMS When a pianist was needed, Evelyn took her place at the piano uncomplaining¬ ly. She was one of the two girls who rep¬ resented our school in the Spelling Contest over WOWO at Fort Wayne. VERNON AFFOLDER “Bun”, a very busy business man, was a great politician and quite a diplomat. Did you ever notice Bun “working” or try¬ ing to work the teachers ? ROBERT BEAVERS “Bob”, a man of many hobbies, loved to dabble with airplanes, photography, etc. And Bob, don’t blush, but “all the world loves a lover.” LEWIS BEERY “Lewie” played basketball since he was a freshman. He, Friedt, and Heller were seen together a lot, especially on the bench. Lewie was also a firm believer in sonambulism. Evelyn Adams Robert Beavers Vernon Lawrence Affolder Ansimuglt Lewis Donald Beery Bi.vler Donald Arnold Virginia Breiner Mary Iv. Baker Robert Brod berk LAWRENCE ANSPAUGH “Eppie”, the athletic trainer, was usually busy letting boys in and out of the dressing room, and getting excused from classes. He also played in the band four years. DONALD ARNOLD “Don” works in a drug store. He hop¬ es some day to become an apothecary. That’s a druggist, folks. Don started his career in high school by playing Mickey Mouse in the high school party program. ALICE BAKER “Alyce Kay”, one of our yell leaders for ’37, followed in her brother’s footsteps. Her hobbies were Purdue and gum chew¬ ing in which she was past master. DONALD BIXLER “Don” had one hobby; arguing with Mr. Brown in Civics Class. Don was also snapshot editor of the Ravelings Staff and popped up at unexpected times to take pic¬ tures. VIRGINIA BRIENER Virginia, a quiet, efficient little miss, stood high in the eyes of her pedagogues. She was a very good basketball player, too. ROBERT BRODBECK “Bob” was one of our varsity basket¬ ball and football players. His hobbies were getting out of classes and finding excuses to go to the Catholic High School- Nineteen.

The Finished Product MONROE FUHRMAN We will omit Monroe’s nickname. He is a little self-conscious of it. He delighted the English class with his naive remarks and haunted the halls with a sophomore girl. MARY K. GARNER “Mary Kay” as she was known to her friends specialized in “mammy” parts ev¬ en though she forgot to make up her hands as well as her face in the junior class play. PHYLLIS HOAGLAND “Miss Demure”. She blushed very eas¬ ily, but it was a becoming color to her. There are always some high school fellows at the Blue Creek Dairy. That’s where Phyllis works- MARGARET HOFFMAN Margaret, a vivid brunette, is a very talkative girl. Her two hobbies, besides gossiping, are chewing gum and protesting at the length of lesson assignments. Monroe I- ' u In-111:111 1 ’liyllis Hocij lsi ml Mary K. Garner Marjraret Hoffman Richard Girod Margaret Howard Walter I lend ricks Veil Highland ltalpli Catharine Hurst Jackson RICHARD GIROD “Dick” was on our varsity football squad. For some reason or other, he just couldn’t come to school every day. But Dick says he didn’t miss more than three days a week. WALTER HENDRICKS Walter was a good student and always carried a brief case full of important pap¬ ers. When a teacher was indisposed, Wal¬ ter usually took his place. NEIL HIGHLAND Neil, with that schoolgirl complexion, always had a happy-go-lucky smile. He starred in tennis and at one time took a fling at football. MARGARET HOWARD Margaret was a quiet, blonde, brown¬ eyed girl. She had one strong point, typ¬ ing- She also played the alto horn in the Girl’s Band. RALPH HURST “Shank”, a tall, business-like, athletic, self-confident senior, has big and great plans for the future. Bud says, “I’m a pretty nice boy, and I know it, too.” CATHARINE JACKSON “Cate” acted as secretary of the sen¬ ior class. Wherever you saw Wendell, you saw Cate, except on the basketball floor. But she was always there, rooting for her dear old “Alma Mater”. Twenty -one
