ARMIN MVNZ. A.B.. Ge rman Hebron, North Dakota ElmKurst ' s most rabid haseball fan, Armin, was featured in a number of full-length dramas of the cindertrack by E-C-S. Peter proved to be a winner in track in bis last tbree years, and was a member of tbe cross-country team in bis Sopbomore year. He also was an assistant director and helped produce two other athletic pictures in the role of manager of basketball and manager of football. Armin was a member of the cast of the Pirates of Penzance. ' He also contributed several scenarios of campus life as a member of the Elm Bark staff. Off the set, Armin was a fine German scholar, and a member of three campus organizations, the Goethe Verein. the Y. M. G. A., and the Pre-The Glub. JOHN NIENSTED, A.B., Philosophy Pana, Illinois One of the leading Senior Stars and yet one of the most modest is Johnny. He did not come to E-G-S in answer to the demand for actors of the Tarzan appearance and physique, yet he was the answer to Director Langhorst ' s prayers and was immediately cast in a series of football pictures, where he played varied roles with unusual success. In his last two years, John turned to tennis in addit ion to football, and again made a hit with the fans. How- ever, there is little doubt that any representative of a fan magazine who interviewed Johnny would discover that his real interest lay in intellectual pursuits, with philosophy taking precedence over other studies. Johnny was also a member of the Student Union Gabinet, the Pre-The Glub, Y. M. G. A., and S. G. A. ROLAND PANTERMUEHL, A.B., Philosophy New Braunfels, Texas Tex was lured to E-G-S after a year at a rival studio, and almost immediately became a leader in campus affairs. He was vice-president of the Pre-The Glub, president of the Goethe Verein, and also a prominent member of the Y. M. G. A. and the S. G. A. Like so many of the Senior Stars, his greatest interest lay in the study of philosophy, religious doctrine, and Ghristian ethics. Dur- ing the intermissions of our routine work, most of the company could be found seeking refreshment at Tex ' s ever-popular store. Roily was especially known for his excellent scholarship. LAURA PRESS, A.B., English St. Louis. Missouri Laura has achieved fame not only as a student, but as a ' capable actress. Her more important appearances were in Dear Brutus. Life of Man, and Twelfth Night. Laura was also a prominent member of the Women ' s Glee Glub and of Ghapel Ghoir; for two years she aided in guiding the activities of th E-G-S players as a member of the Student Union Executive Gommittee. In her life off the set. she has shown consistent interest in English literature, library work, and in many forms of athletics. She was well-known by the entire company for her delightful St. Louis brogue, and few will forget her excellent interpretations of Tark- ington ' s Seventeen. [ 20]

His attention is centered on sociology, but he finds time to attend the meetings of the Pre-The Club, Goethe Verein, and S. C. A. ERNEST MELCHERT, A.B., Philosophy Black Creek, Wis. Ernie, his pipe, and philosophy — even our photographer could not separate them. Ernie has almost set a record for participation in organizations during his four year career at E-C-S.
