Margaret Jeanette Bjur . Peggy “Peggy” boards the “ding-dong” every morning and comes all the way from Miller to attend our citadel of learning. She never seems to miss a basket and is quite a singer too. Margaret has a sweet and cheery disposition and is quite a friend to all. Chorus; Spice and Variety. Victor Dauer ............ “A No wonder Hammond fell so far behind Gary since 1913, look what left it and came here! Class Basketball ’24, ’25, ’26; Spice and Variety ’25; Class Football ’25; Class Baseball ’24, ’25; Swimming Team ’26; Sophomore Play. Margaret Vanja Benson . “Marg’ “Marg” looks real quiet, but you should come around to gym. She’s just loads of fun, too. Marg hasn’t decided what she will do after she gets out in the world, but we know she’ll be successful in whatever she does. Froebel Declamatory Contest ’25; Chorus. William Kalinowsky ..“Bill” “Bill” has made a good record in Mechanical Drawing and he has been asked by G. E. Wulfing to draw the plans for the central gymnasium on Seventh and Massachusetts. Ada Verniece Ellis Ada hasn’t been with us very long, but her sweet smile has won her many life-long friends. No es verdad? She wears the prettiest ring too. Yelling Yodlers. Charles Isenberg .“Chuck” “Chuck” divides his time between driving his car, tending to the store, and courtin’ young ladies. Class Play ’24; Spanish Club; French Club. Page 25

Stanley B. Gaston ............. “Gas” Stanley is one of those characters “that happens in the best regulated families ” for schools. We don’t believe the school could do without him. French Club ’23, ’24. Anna Brady Anna does more thinkin’ than talkin’, but all her time isn’t taken up in thinkin’, either, because she is just “oodles” of fun. And hasn’t she the nicest blush? Orchestra ’22, ’23, ’24; Hockey ’25; Yelling Yodlers. Clifford David Evans .“Cliff” “Cliff” made the bassoon famous at Emerson; it may be interesting to note, too, that his voice is in the same register of his horn. Concert Band; Orchestra; Contest Chorus. Helen Lynda Horkavi ............ “Hen” “Hen” has been one of our faithful music memory workers. We’ll bet.that she will be missed “turrifically ” when they choose the Music Memory team next year. We don’t think Helen ever found any use for the combination of words, “I didn’t prepare my lesson.” F.mer-Sun Staff ’26; Music Memory Team; Declamatory Contest; Lake County Contest; Class Play ’24. Floyd Long .“Fat” Floyd is the original “Ceresota” with each bag of flour from Rochester. He also believes in “tooting his own horn” on first chair clarinet in the orchestra. Emer-Sun Staff ’26; Emerson Concert Band; Orchestra. Martha Greenberg .“Marty” Martha is one of the old stand-bys and Emerson will be sorry to have to lose her. As yet she hasn’t joined the rest of us, but still retains her long tresses. Basketball ’26; Yelling Yodlers; Spanish Club. Pagf 24

Mildred Johnston .. “Mitz” Mildred wanted to graduate with our class so badly, that she came all the way from . And we are sure glad. Mildred’s reputation as an English shark can be confirmed by any member of the contemporary writing classes. Yelling Yodler; Com¬ mercial Club. Charles Riley .“Chuck” At the present time Chuck is selling real estate, but as yet has not reached Florida. From his activities with the monitor force, we thought that he would turn out to be a chief of police. Class Play ’25; Spice and Variety ’25, ’26; Class Baseball ’25; Building and Grounds Committee; Chorus. Lillian Marie Waser . “Lillums” ’Tis said that “nobody loves a fat person”. But this is one time that the saying meets with lots of opposition, cause we all like Lillian lots, even though the greater part of her affections are bestowed elsewhere. We “sorta” think that she has a warm feeling left for the Class of ’26. Are we right, Lillian? Building and Grounds Committee ’25; Senior Play ’25; Girls’ Band Chorus. Madison Wolfing “Maddy” Madison is the distinguished gentleman who lends his dignity to “Hoi Polloi”. He writes for the “Post Tribune”, but he is not famous yet, neither has he been kicked out of the office. Spice and Variety ’24, ’25, ’26; Class Football ’23; Oratorical Contest ’25. Cathryn Thompson ............. “Kay” “Kay”, our famous “Charlestoner” also excells in other athletic activities. We wonder what the attraction is at Michigan City? We believe he is from Notre Dame. Her other half is F. C. Eligibility Committee; Hockey ’23, ’24, ’25; Baseball ’23, ’24; Spice and Sam Bartnofsky .“Barton” Sam is another school character. We bet that he could sell icecream freezers to the Eskimos. Class Basketball ’26; Spice and Variety ’23; Board of Control ’24, ’25; Social Committee ’25, ’26; Junior Play; Class Treasurer ’24; Eligibility Committee ’25; Booster Page 26
