HELENE KLEIN And say, she uttereth piercing eloquence. Helen is Emerson's debutante. She is an accomplished equestrienne and excels in dramatics. Helene has the unique distinction of having played Juliet at a gathering in the Waldorf- Astoria in New York. HERBERT LACK His worthiness doth challenge much respect. Herb is the answer to a maiden's prayer. ln the characteristic manner of a gallant knight, he wields his dead- ly sword lin this case a tennis racketl , subdues all rivals, and captures the heart of the fair one. Before striking, however, his boisterous laugh suffi- ciently scares his foes so that victory is easy. JEROME KLEIN He bears himself with honorable action. Just what would the school do with- out Jerry? He's the boy we hear about but seldom see. He enjoys his physics class so much that he sits by the hour and does nothing but-sleep. His clever wit has us believing that all Jerry needs now is a sponsor and a gag writer and he will go places. GEORGE KUHN An inventor beyond compare. George, Marconi of Emerson, has made many a social a success with his recorded music. On rainy days he is the one who plays ln the Mood in Mr. Maney's office. George's favorite hobby is radio. EDWARD LANG Brains and character rule the world, To meet him-redheaded, easy go- ing, wise-cracking-you'd never sus- pect that Ed is one of our most brilliant seniors. Orator, tennis star, master of science and languages, and executive extraordinary-anything of which he's not president, he's captain of, or edi- tor-in-chief. Twenty-Six CARMINE LANNI In mirth and merriment he is supreme. Think of Carmine and you think of baseball, think of baseball and you think of Carmine. His life now is largely baseball and his life's ambition is baseball.

x c i . I ROSE ISAACS A warm heart within, As busy as a bee fits Rose. She is one of the very efficient assistant editors of our year book. This little lady continually reminds people of the inch she has grown within the last year. AURORA JUNQUERA Simple and sweet. Aurora, as her name suggests, radi- ates sunshine wherever she goes, with her smiling Irish eyes and her happy nature. But underneath her surface there is a combination of Irish temper and Spanish gaiety. If . ili . f:'l' EDNA KELLY A maiden petite, gentle and sweet. Edna is Emerson's rugged individual- ist. Stylists stamp and rage but Edna wears her hats lust as she pleases. Conformity is taboo for her and her chapeaus are as unpredictable as the April rains. E 2 I 3 H if-ff f . il ELEANOR KERL A phantom of delight. The glamour of Ann Sheridan, the sophistication of Greta Garbo, the beautiful clothes of Marlene Deitrich, and the personality and charm of Joan Crawford. A combination of all four? Eleanor! Twenty-five s- ',1 ? s VIRGINIA KAMINSKI Her nature craves variety. rd Jiggs was our very capable class treasurer of Room IO8. Every morning and noon, the old familiar line- Have you got your dues? rang loftily through the air. In later years, when we come back to visit our old Alma Mater, Room IO8 will still echo, Duesl RAYMOND KLAS My books and my instruments shall be my company. Ray has definite traces of an Ein- stein brain and a Benny Goodman rhythm. He has already distinguished himself as an outstanding student, since he is valedictorian of our class. Proof of his outstanding musical ability is evidenced by his four year's mem- bership in the Emerson orchestra.

ELIZABETH LARSEN As good to be out of the world as out of fashion. Admired? Yes! Cute? Of course. Don't you know her? A little warning though-her hair may not be fiery red, but from the outbursts of temper she displays, it might well be. LUCILLE LAVELLO Lovely flowers are smiles of God's goodness. As soon as Lulu graduates she will enter Englewood Hospital where she will begin her training taking pulses and giving patients their pills. Because of her charming, genial manner, we hear that a long line of prospective patients is already forming at the right. ANNE LAVIN A good heart, a good soul. A. typical Irish girl with laughing Irish eyes. Whenever you want Anne, she is in the typing room banging a- way on the typewriter and really turn- ing out perfect business letters. DONALD LEHRKINDER Why can't they all be contented like me. Radio has .lack Benny, the movies Charlie Chaplin, and Emerson, Donald Lehrkinder. His excellent impersona- tions and acting have been the source of many enjoyable and amusing mo- ments. His answers in class reflect his originality. SAMUEL LEVlN l am conqueror of myseIf. Sam showed his ability as a basket- ball player this year. Through the aid of his excellent playing, the team won many games. He was a steady scorer. Watch for Sam in the future.
