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

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.

THE PARKER RECORD 1932 x 1 1 1' jf Jef LpV,11 ! I Thirty , , f- N V BRUCE SCHETNITZ Good old Bruce, the one who has borne up under everyone's jokes and emerged smiling, in fact, emerged laughing, and no one can laugh like Bruce. Shets has been with us for only four years, but no one will forget him, he is so full of fun. Bruce played guard on the football team and his red hair spelled danger for most of our opponents. Bruce has his serious side as was proved by his in- telligent service to the Weekly and his earn- est work for the Forum. ALLEN SELSOR It,s rumored that Selsor is the Walter Winchell of Parker. There is no doubt that Allen can easily qualify for a full-fledged membership in the select circle of this year's senior class Intelligencia. But not only is he gifted intellectually, the unique distinc- tion of obtaining the football captaincy in his junor year has fallen to him. Much of his time is devoted to outside interests, not- ably literary endeavors. In this field he has made many interesting and worthwhile con- tributions, both short stories and poems. He was given the honor of being one of the two Parker students chosen for a trip to Ger- many two summers ago. Allen is also gifted in other ways. He has been a valuable mem- ber of both theweekly staff and the Extem- poraneous Speaking Team for the past three years. MAXINE SOBEL Maxine reminds one of a river, no, a stream, flowing smoothly, yet sparkling and refreshing. She makes one feel that one should know her better. A keen sense of humor, yet she has the unusual quality of not joking at other people,s expense. Social finesse, poise, a helpful nature, these are the things that she can lay claim to. Needless to say, she is well liked by everyone and Parker can be proud of Sopey.
