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

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.

May They Stand the Test KATHRYN KOHLS “Kate”, another of the famous Kohls sisters. They were all interested in ath¬ letics, and Kathryn too; but her big inter¬ est centered in Bluffton. MELBA KRAFT It is said that she was born to dance. Wherever there is a dance, there is Melba with bells on. Melba has definite plans of becoming a beauty operator. EMMA MARQUART “Miss Efficiency” herself. When ac¬ curate typing was called for, Emma was sought. She was also at the head of our honor roll with 5 A’s. FAYE MARTIN Faye was never too busy to lay aside her work and help some one else. She took care of the candy stand, a fitting place for a naturally sweet girl. Katliryn Melba Kohls Kraft Jane Krlek David Mnoklin kin la Marlin eh Emma Marquart Faye Martin Maritaret McGill Ro.snli Miller Catherine Murphy JANE KRICK “Jayne”, the Commercial Club treas¬ urer, was always found chasing the mem¬ bers asking for their dues, or asking some¬ one for his chemistry notebook. DAVID MACKLIN “Ancil” is a well-liked boy and sel¬ dom could be found loafing. Dave was business manager of the Ravelings Staff, and he filled his position very well. LINDA MARBACH Her name “Linda” suited her well. A very reserved and studious type will de¬ scribe her. She was always ready to assist anyone. And can she talk German. MARGARET McGILL “Mugs” was one of the famous back- row gabbers. She would keep one eye on the teacher and the other on her neighbor. That is how she got most of her lessons, from her neighbor. ROSALI MILLER Rosali, a small good-looking blonde, hails from the country. She was a well- applied student, a good basketball player, and Fay’s assistant at the candy stand. CATHERINE MURPHY “Kate” spent most of her time sliding out of work. Her heart interests settled on a dark brunette from a far-away city. Kate was an ardent member of the G- A. A. Twenty-two.
