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

Florence Lucille Johnson ........... “Slim” Lucille wanted to graduate with us, so she travels from Chesterton every morning to join us. Lucille has proved that stout people are of a jolly nature. 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. He has been es¬ pecially prominent in dramatic circles. Class Plays ’24, ’26; R. O. T. C. Cadet Officers’ Club; Eligibility Committee ’23, ’25, ’26; Spice and Variety ’24, ’25. Dorothy Durr .“Dot’ Dorothy deserted us in the fall, and is now somewhere in the wilds of Pennsylvania. Bennie Gostomelsky .“Ben” Ben has come every morning from New Chicago, but we are glad he didn’t let that keep him from graduating with our class. French Club; Class Basketball ’26; Physics Club. 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. In addition to being a real athlete, John is a student of no “mean” standing, and can almost always be found on the Honor • Roll. Varsity Football ’25; Band; Class Football ’23, ’24; Class Basketball ’24, ’25, ’26; Eligibility Committee; Annual Board ’26. Page 28

William Loenneke .“Bill” Bill takes a big part (size) in athletics. You can find him holding his own on the line of Emerson’s Varsity Football Team. He came here in 1919, so he may be considered a result of the World War. Varsity Football ’24, ’25; Basketball Manager ’26; Basketball ’25; Class Football ’23. Malinda Hardenbrook .. “Min” Min is that lovely young person that is a real argumen or a good time. If she could do nothing else it would be possible for Min to get a job as a lady clown in a circus, cause she is loads of fun and pep. Simply could not have gotten along without you, Min. Class Plays ’22, ’23; Hockey ’23, ’25; Basketball ’22, ’23. John Martindale .“Johnny” Johnny is our concert band xylophonist, and principal band musician. He also “shakes a mean foot” and is quite a social shark. Concert Band ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26; Spice and Variety ’23, ’26. Dorothy Frame ............. “Dot” Dot’s got red hair too, but we like her temper. Remember the way that she did the Charleston in Spice and Variety? Any time that you want a good pal—go to Dot. Spice and Variety ’24, ’25; Basketball ’24; Hockey ’24, ’25; Eligibility Committee ’23; Building and Grounds Committee ’23, ’25. Russell Lorentz . “Igarode” His favorite song may be “I wish I Was in Peoria”, but we would have to lose the only Ramon Navarro that we have. Spice and Variety ’24; Class Football ’24, ’25. Anne Harris .“Annie” Anne is another one of our “all-around-likable-girls”. When she isn’t playing hockey or baseball,she can usually be found some place dancing or practising her part in class plays. We do envy these lucky girls who have such “booful” dimples. Baseball ’23, ’24; Hockey ’25; Spice and Variety ’25; Class Plays ’23, ’24, ’25, ’26. Page 30
