MARY DE TARNOWSKY When we hear the words Mary deT, across our mind flashes the visio-n of a little figure dashing down the hockey field, crack- ing a baseball over the fence, or calmly sink- ing a basket. This marvelous skill placed Mary on the All Chicago Hockey Team and made her captain time and again at school. Athletics isn't the only thing in which our Mary is accomplished, for she is able to work out a difhcult chemistry prob- lem. She has served as Head of the Student Government Committee and on the Week- ly. Mary has all kinds of ability and good nature. W'e're expecting a lot from you, Mary, and we won't be disappointed. S. MILTON EICHBERG, JR. Joining our happy throng freshman year, Bud had no difficulty persuading all who came in contact with him that he possessed a silver, nay, a golden tongue. If Bud were given a jail sentence for life, he would easily fix it so that the judge would apologize to Milton for even suspecting him. His gift for public speaking has given him the cap- taincy of the Extemporaneous Speaking Team for the last two years. He was also Literary Editor of the Weekly. The burly behemoth who won three letters in football may be seen charging up and down stairs at almost any hour of thc day. Aftei' a medical course, we feel confident that he will become a great doctor, and we shall not hesitate in calling him, even though it be a cinder in the eye or a headache. MARY JANE FRANKENSTEIN Maidie, as she is called, has come to be well known around Parker. She entered Parker when only a fourth grader and the ensuing years have been marked by her ex- ploits. She is known as a dear friend and ex- cellent confidante, and more than one Park- er student has sought her sound and cheer- fully given advice. She has a huge fund of good common sense accompanied by a strong will and a determination to win. XWe are sure Maidie,s future life will be one of achievement.

N THE PARKER RECORD 19 3 2 Twvzzty-Tzvn JESSAMINE COBB Jessie has been a member of our class since the third grade. As she goes about her work in a quiet and unobtrusive manner, few of us know her intimately, but we are not unaware of her qualities. She has shown her ability through her work and through the class positions she has held. As Grazia, Death Takes a Holiday,', she portrayed a diihcult character skillfully. Jessie can always be counted on to fulfill her duties in a more than adequate manner. Need more be said? - cr ID JEAN CONNER Everyone knows and likes Jean. Even the little first graders are fond of her, be- cause of her sweet disposition. Her charm- ing simplicity impresses everyone. Jean has served on the RECORD staff for several years, and also shows great ability in what- ever she undertakes, whether academic work or athletics. Her curly hair and blue eyes were appropriate in the portrayal of Rhoda in Death Takes a Holiday, which she did so well. We are sure Jean will be liked and admired wherever she goes. MARJORIE DEMOREST To know Midge is to love her. She has a great, big smile for everyone--dimples and all-and a still bigger heart. As Secretary of the Friendly Relations Club she has worked faithfully. She holds a high place i11 the line of Famous Senior Athletes of 1932. Midge has a good singing voice and has helped the Glee Club tremendously. Al- though she had a reputation to live up to in her famous sister, she has made one for her- self. You have earned yourself a place in our hearts, Midge, and we shall miss your ever- happy face.

l J 1 4 i 1 'THE PARKER RECORD 1932 Ttemzfy-F0111' RICHARD GRAUMAN One look at those friendly blue eyes gaz- ing out from Dick,s frank, sincere face tells that here is a rare, genuine friend. He has ready wit, a keen sense of responsibility, and the virtue of malice toward none, jus- tice toward all. His level-headedness and straight-forward thinking have cooled many a student government controversy and have also won him honors in extemporaneous speaking. His scholarship is of the highest merit. Dick's real leadership came out as editor of the Weekly. Dick's unusual artistry on the jazz pianoforte has brought joy all around, no matter whether it be his Forum Orchestra, Glee Club accompaniment, or rhythmic solos. As musician, linguist, scien- tist, and journalist this Versatile member of our class has been respected and liked. EDGAR GREENEBAUM, JR. Eggie', is one of the most interesting persons in our class. He is a real musician although only a few of his intimates know it. He also draws and writes very well, as his many posters and literary contributions to the Question Mark will confirm. His keen sense of humor is shown by his clever satires and remarks. He is inclined to be rather spectacular in that which he under- takes although he is cool at all times and is rarely ruffled about difficult things. l'Eggie has more athletic statistics at his fingertips than most people imagine. He can also recognize any orchestra in the country merely by sound. He is exceedingly well liked by all who know him. GLADYS HAINES When Glad entered our school in her sophomore year, she was a quiet, reserved girl, but since then we have found her to be a gay and mischievous sort of person. She showed her responsibility by the capable manner in which she filled her position of Branch-President of the Friendly Relations Club. Glad was our one and only hockey goal-guard, and won her hockey emblem for her ability and perseverance. Her portrayal of the Princess in Death Takes a Holi- day was wonderfully done, and made the audience feel her grief. All in all, she is one of the Hnest girls who ever came to Parker.
