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.

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

On Life ' s Proving Ground BERNICE PICKFORD Bernice was another back-row gabber. Her favorite pose was sitting with her hand before her mouth and whispering the latest tid-bit to her neighbor. LEWIS SMTIH “Lewie” had many irons in the fire. He was president of the seniors and spent much time trying to make money for the class. Lewie’s plans for the future are to be a lawyer. DORUS STALTER Dorus was another tall, well-built sen¬ ior. He brought himself fame by posing as the Javelin Thrower at our high school party program. Dorus always had a smile on his face. BYRON TRICKER Byron walked with his head in the clouds. He willingly acted as general chauffeur for the teachers and some of the students, who were too lazy to walk- Bernieec I’ickfnril Lew is S mi tli Wendell Smith Lois Sovine Dale Stalter Dorus Stalter Byron Trieker Bussell Wood hall Robert Wortlnuan Harold Zimmerman WENDELL SMITH “Smitty” played football, baseball, and basketball during his high school career, and for any further information, Smitty says to ask Cate. L(WS SOVINE Lois was very reserved in school. She would march into her classroom, sit down, open her book, and fall asleep. She played a baritone in the Girl’s Band. DALE STALTER “Tubby” was a boy who attended strictly to his own business. When not in school, he could usually be found at the skating rink doing fancy figure 8’s. RUSSELL WOODHALL Russell came to this school from Bluff- ton when he was a junior. He played base¬ ball his first year here. His glasses gave him a very business-like appearance. ROBERT WORTHMAN “Zippy” on the basketball floor. But in classes, Bob moved with all the activity of a billowy white cloud on a lazy summer afternoon. HAROLD ZIMMERMAN “Cherry” is an imitator of farmyard fowls. He was on our varsity football squad and lent a hand in our Senior-Under¬ classmen basketball game. The Under¬ classmen won. Twenty-three,
