Auditorium League ’25, ’26; Hockey ’26; Basketball ’26. Arthur T. Kollar .“Art” “Art” may be small, but that’s not saying that he isn’t heard from.

Mary Alice Farley Alice is one of our sweet girl graduates with a smile and a kind word for everyone. When report cards come out, we naturally expect to see Alice’s slowly, but surely filling up with “A’s”. Class Plays ’23, ’25, ’26. John Durkott .“Duco” Anything in the line of athletics is “meat” for John.

Marie Oleska .. “Dodo” Marie is the girl who lives out at the “booful” big mansion at Ridge Road, and has a red Buick roadster. We don’t know for sure, but we understand that her interests are divided between Hobart and the University of Illinois. Spanish Club; Yelling Yodlers; Commercial Club. Emelyn Kathryn Gustason Silence is golden. Emelyn has always been so quiet, but we like her just the same. Her smile is just so sweet—how could we help liking her? Yelling Yodlers; Classical Club; Commercial Club. Rose Negrelli . “Rosie” A pleasant dark-haired young lady whose hobby seems to be music. She makes a very nice looking Spanish lady, doesn’t she? She is also one of our “A” students. Lake County Chorus ’25; Girls’ Glee Club ’25; Spice and Variety ’24; Commercial Club. Catherine Patricia McCall ........... “Patty” Patricia is another one of our studious set. But can she laugh? She is quite a pianist too. We are glad she has been with us. Spice and Variety ’24; Classical Club ’24; “Road to Yesterday” ’26; Yelling Yodlers ’24, ’25. Vivian Magness ..“Vivia” Vivian knew a good thing when she saw it, and came from some unpronounceable place to graduate with our class. Vivian is a newcomer but she has already made many friends. Full of fun and a good sport. Basketball ’24; Baseball ’23; Yelling Yodlers; Girls’ Band; Orchestra.

Robert Knight Clemens. Lincoln once said that a man’s legs should be long enough to reach to the ground; Bob’s seem to fill the bill. He has been in different activities around school and is a familiar figure. Concert Band. Helen Mae Crisman Here, ladies and gentlemen is another of the martyr’s who travels twice daily on the “struggle-buggy” labeled Miller. We feel that said persons should be congratulated on finishing high-school with such a handicap as this. All kidding aside though we couldn’t have had a truly successful “Spice and Variety” this year, if it hadn’t been for Miller’s contributions. Spice and Variety; Chemistry Club. Thad Brudzinski . ■ “Ted” Thad is one of the athletes of our class, winning special recognition in track. Varsity Track ’25, ’26; Class Basketball ’24. Dorothy May English. “ “Dot” is Emerson’s real honest-to-goodness blonde. She left us in February but we were really glad that she waited and graduated with our class. She seems to shine in the commercial direction and we’ll predict success soon as “Somebodv’s Steno”. Yelling Yodler. Richard Huffman .. “Dick” Dick doesn’t bother himself with “Classics” but confines himself to sports. We notice also, that he is quite a marksman. Class Basketball ’24, ’25; Class Football ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Band; Rifle Team ’24, ’25, ’26. Irilla Donovan . • “Rilla” There isn’t much left of the old gang of “D. D.’s” but leave it to Rilla and her side-kick to keep the memory of it still alive. You can most always see Irilla with lots of curly hair sticking up over a raccoon coat. She works awfully hard on the school paper, but we can’t quite imagine her as an “ink-slinger” for the rest of her life. Page 29
