GERTRUDE M. RECTENWALD M Club 4; Captain Crossbones 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Mamzelle Taps 1. Seems as though Gertrude has a great attraction outside of Bast, which claims most of her spare time. We wonder who? She. nevertheless, has been very active while at Hast and has proved herself to be a loyal and true friend. The class wishes her success in her career. EARL PETER RENZ Stamp Club 1, 2; Track 2; Sunrise Staff 4; Ring Com. 4; Class Play 4. Here is one of Bast High’s artists! Karl’s drawings are so original and life-like that they have received very favorable comment from people who appreciate and understand art. Besides this accomplishment. Earl is an excellent scholar. In future years, we hope to hear more of him. WILLIAM RICART Folks this is ‘‘Bill”, “King of the Queens”! The fair sex is Bill’s most important subject. He is a good student also, and we know that he will succeed, even if his heart is sometimes crowded with thoughts of a certain someone. MARTHA RIETHMILLER Initiative and personality are two great assets which this young lady has. A good student, a loyal friend and a pleasing companion. Martha has indeed won the hearts of all with whom she has come in contact. We shall be sorry to lose her and will long remember her winning ways. MARY TERESA ROACH M Club 1; Glee Club 4. Queen of the Ivories! Mary sure can make the keys of the piano and the typewriter talk! She is a fine student. During her stay at East, Mary has won a large circle of friends. When she has left us. we know that she will continue to win more friends. The class wishes her success in whatever she attempts. 28

Mary is very quiet and demure, but she is very. very, sweet. She seldom says much, but when she does, it means something. She is sure to be successful in her undertakings. 27
