Q te iw? , K-affgfr'-f M Melia wax-. THE PARKER RECORD 1 932 Twcnt y-E ight FRANCES MORTON Could anyone help liking this attractive blond? She has a lovely disposition, and is pleasant and ready to help others. Fran is the life of any party and we are always ready to listen to her droll and unusual way of telling things. She adds pep to a crowd because of her line sense of humor and her ability to draw people together. One of her best assets is that she sees the best in people and overlooks their faults. A slender, dash- ing figure-blue eyes and golden hair- there she goes! What's she saying? . . . Wait for me . . . how familiar that plaintive little appeal sounds. Who wouldn't wait for Franny? OTTO PABST Otto's wrong again. That was the fa- mous war cry of the class against Otto, but the funny part of it is that it was usually vice versa. He used to get peeved as it really was an insult against that fine brain of his, but when we really realized just how fine his brain is we stopped saying that. So now, Otto is always right and the rest of us go to him when we want something done. Otto is one of the old members of the class. He has always been a leader in his quiet way, and is famed for his sunny disposition. A good athlete, he has won two football letters in spite of his lightness of weight. Otto is going to study pharmaceutical chemistry, and soon we shall be going to him to get our prescriptions filled. WILLIAM PATTISON Bill's conscientiousness and sincerity are his outstanding traits. He has more practi- cal intelligence than anybody in the class. Notwithstanding how good a student he is, he has also entered numerous other activi- ties, having been Vice-President of Student Government and Business Manager of the Record, and he has been active in the For- um. He has won letters in football and basketball which are further proof of his versatility. He enjoys most heartily the an- tics of some of the classes' comedians, and one never is bored when conversing with him. When the class wants to achieve what it is undertaking in a fine manner and when common sense and responsibility are needed, Pat is the fellow called upon.

RENEE LIPMAN Renee is Z1 person whom, unfortunately for us, not many people got to know. But those who did certainly realize what a truly fine girl she is. She is a good student, and a great reader, being able to give you a clear, concise resume of almost any of the books of the day. Renee is also a great lover of the fine and beautiful things, being the dreamy type of girl. She is really a delight- ful person, one who is worth while know- ing and worth while remembering. WARREN LYNCH Wfhen Warren entered the school in the grades he was nick-named by his fellow classmates War-face. Probably even at that tender age his companions found that he was a determined fighter and would plunge into a thing and give his best to it until it was done. He never lost this qual- ity, and when he reached high school it was especially well brought out by his spirit on the basket-ball floor, on the football field, where he was captain in his Senior year, as co-editor of the RECORD, and in his marvelous characterization of Duke Lambert in Death Takes a Holiday. But XVarren isn't always determined, for his keen sense of humor and his clever cartoons have been the source of many amusing moments to us and will be to others in the years to come. MILDRED MAURER Remember the charming little Grazia in Death Takes a Holidayn? Well, that was Milly. She won everyone completely as she does in everyday life. The best way to de- fine her is to say she is a darn good sport. She is good in athletics. She is willing to try anything you ask of her. She has a charm- ing sense of humor, but when the occasion calls she can drag down as high marks as she wants in her studies. We shall always remember those sparkling eyes shining through long, dark lashes. We'll miss Milly, our class midget, very much. Tzvcfzfy-Seven THE PARKER RECORD 193 2

BETTY RAUCH Betty is one of those sweet, quiet girls. She is beautiful, with her dark, curly hair and black, almond-shaped eyes, but few people have noticed it because she Wears glasses. She can do a little of everything, and can do it well. She is a graceful figure on the ball room floor and can stick on the back of a wildly galloping horse. She is a friend to prize as she will put herself out to help anyone. NORMAN REDMOND Norman Q12 cylinderj Redmond can be recognized at a great distance during the winter. This is due to his flaming yellow muffler, than which there is none more yel- low. Please don't let the foregoing mislead you, for Norm is the best dressed boy in his class. Though Norman is an artist of great merit, doing most of the illustrations in this book, and having headed the Advertising Group in the Forum for three years, the ma- jority of his subjects consist of automobiles, large and small, pink, violet, black and brown, hence his nickname. He won a letter in football and capably hoarded his class's money two years ago. just as he has made an excellent Art Editor for the Record for the past two years, we are sure Norm will be a leader in his chosen field, designing. WHEELER SAMMONS Wheeler is the radical of our class. To a casual acquaintance he appears to takc great joy in upsetting the traditions of the school. He has his bad characteristics as has every- body else, but his good characteristics which are less apparent far outweigh his bad ones. This very book is one of his achievements. Being very democratic he takes an active interest in everything. He has acquitted himself well in sports. Wheeler gets a lot of enjoyment out of living and we expect him to gain a great deal more before the Grim Reaper gives him his final ticket fpr parking. When that happens, like the Baron, a part which he so ably portrayed in the senior play, hc will look back upon a long and interesting careerf' , .1 - E, isa , wL.,- ,waz Twen ty-Nine 'Y gf THE PARKER RECORD 193 2
