PARKER RECORD ALFRED FISCHER Entered in Kindergarten Wisconsin Alfred is one of the most truly cultured members of our class. Moreover, he is a good leader, a responsible manager, and an intellectual speaker. He had a chance to make use of these talents in his capacity as president of the Forum. No one could have made a better job of it than Al. His aim was to make every Forum presentation as 'nearly perfect as possible. And he more than realized the expectations of the most optimistic. Alfred was also on the Extem- poraneous Speaking team and was one of its best speakers. His talks were always inter- esting and revealed his wise range of infor- mation in almost every field. ELIZABETH FOSTER Entered in Kindergarten Gouclaer Lizzie is our artist. Remember in Eighth Grade the bold knights and fair ladies she used to draw for us? Liz is always ready to laugh and her High C giggle is quite con- tagious. Lizzie has a will and when it's set on something there's no breaking it. Many's the time in a hockey or basketball game, when Lizzie's team was losing or the score was tied, she made up her mind to win, and we did. And she's got heaps of energy, too, and whenever you want some of it, you're sure to get it and plenty of it, because when Lizzie helps you, you know then what help really means. We,ll never forget you, Liz. JOHN FRANKEL Entered in First Grade Chicago Through the twelve years that Johnny has attended Parker he has shown remark- able mental capacity. True, he's a slow, methodical thinker, but he produces the re- sults. He's 'not so 'slow on the gym floor and there's as much strength in Johnny's right arm as there is in his steadfast de- pendability, though not more. Aviation and medicine interest him. Ha! A flying doctor. He's a level-headed fellow with a jovial grin. He once had soft black hair, but Johnny is sure that the up-and-coming curls are not motivated by mental kinks. We're sure of that too, Johnny. - - fI 1L Page Twenty-nine Q 'J-Y ' ,Arie 0 L., 11 i',' ,F-i 1 I

f v. aging l Page Thirty 11 .' .L PARKER RECORD ARTHUR GALT Entered in Ninth Grade Williams Art's a scrapper. Do we need to say any- thing more? Well, all right, he's one of the best and most efficient of all the presidents of Student Government of Francis Parker. Isn't that enough? If you insist, we have only to say that he was quarterback and captain of our football, or that he was a mainstay of the lightweight basketball team in the r6le of a fighting guard. More? Art's a leader. It takes him pretty long to get somewhere, but when he gets there he's at the top of the heap. His aggressiveness is well known-he's small, but mighty. What he begins, he ends. If you should take a vote of the school and the faculty, you'd get the finishing touch-he's popular. VIRGINIA GAZLAY Entered in Eighth Grade Goucher Teeny, and so she is, but did you ever see or know of anyone so small yet possessing so big a brain, which she uses, too. But she is not just studious, for besides excelling in academics she shows skill in athletics. Who will ever forget her amusing and re- alistic portrayal of the impertinent maid in the senior play? She is fun-loving, good at advice, and quite affable when you get to know her. Teeny ranks as one of the best dancers in the class. Goucher is lucky to get our tiny blonde. LESTER GODDARD Entered in Twelfth Grade Yale Bus came to us in the senior year under his brother's flying banner, but he made his way to a high place in the minds of his contemporaries, all on his own. He's a quiet, reserved fellow, forceful and genial, with a shock of brown hair and an enigmatic smile. As the class Treasurer and as Assistant Judge he fulfilled all requirements. He's a slight scrap of a boy yet he's an agile basketball hero and nimble of mind. He was with us only a short time, but we'll remember him for long. , ' ,,.,,: 930 1 ' ' ,,....,.f 1-,..
