JOHN KANAGY If you have failed to make John's ac- quaintance you have lost the opportunity of knowing one of the most amiable and friendly people that Parker has ever seen. He is a sincere and true friend and always willing to help. Although he doesn't get the best marks of the class, he works harder than most people. His work on the Weekly has always been very commendable. His balanced combination of wit and seriousness, his heroic unselfishness, and his congeniality will long be esteemed by all of us. HELEN LOUISE KRAUSS Helen Krauss is a perfect example of the old adage to the effect that the best goods come in small packages. In her case the goods are a truly vivacious personality, a perpetual source of good, wholesome com- mon sense, a great fondness for little chil- dren, and an unfailing clearness of judgment extremely gratifying to friends in doubt. In short she is worth knowing well-the sort of girl Whose friendship will prove to be an asset to anyone. ,P A! -fi JEANNE LEVY If you want someone upon whom you can always depend, someone to cheer you up and make you laugh-Jeanne is the girl. She is an excellent student, though never asserting herself u-nless called upon. Her fine work as the Queen in The Queen's Enemies proves to us that she has a fine basis for her chief interest, dramatics, in which she will major at Sarah Lawrence. Jeanne has been outstanding among the senior girls for her athletic ability. In hockey, basketball, and baseball she has always been a great asset to her team. Jeanne,s fine sense of humour and her readiness to help have made her a person whom we shall long remember. I 13' ,' 'V bfi llll I fs, ,, T '- X, K ty lliil., 1.. q-.

If M28 HORACE JORDAN Horace Jordan is one of the outstanding members of our class. Since he came to Parker in his freshman year he has made a fine success. He has an excellent brain and a charming personality. Horace is rather inclined to be very serious, and when he undertakes a task, he goes about it in his own silent and persevering way. In his junior year he won the Harvard Classic, which goes to the boy with the highest scholastic achievement. He is captain of this year's Extemporaneous Speaking team, and he has very capably served a term as judge. Horace was made president of our class this vear, and has filled this office very ably. .R ROBERT JORDAN Bob is one of a small group of nuts on radio and science. His amount of informa- tion on this subject is really astounding. He is an exceptional student being very con- scientious about his work. He has been an outstanding member of the Extemporaneous Speaking team for several years. He has many friends as was proved by his being elected vice-president of the class and judge for the spring term. The halls have been run verv ably under his leadership during the full school year. Because of his brilliant mind, amiability, and conscientiousness we are sure that he will win many honors in college. SEYMOUR KALOM Lefty,' is one of the class's most versatile members. Question the athletic minded why Lefty is a valuable member of the school. Because he is one of our star football, basketball, and baseball players,', they an- swer. Inquire of a Weekly member why Seymour is worth knowing. Because he is such a really fine editor of the Weekly, comes the prompt reply. Anyone of the faculty or student body could be asked why Parker profits by having Seymour as a member and the immediate response would be, because he puts every bit of effort into everything he attempts to do. To sum him up in one sentence: He can be de- termined, yet compromising, stubborn yet congenialg is always forgiving, unconscious of his own virtues, and competent whether on the dance floor, on the gym floor, or in the class room. He is bound to carve a place for himself in the hearts of any he associates with. -.sm ,

A' 'meiwm ALEXANDER MacAVINCHE Alex MacAvinche is a member that the class of '33 is proud of. A visitor to the school would probably underestimate his value to the class because of his quiet un- assuming ways. He is never heard boasting about his contributions and successes in his school activities, but he is the hub of many wheels of some of our most important school functions. He is Business Editor of the Record staff, President of the Forum, and Captain of our heavyweight basketball team. When most of us think of Alex, we connect him with athletics in some way. Besides being one of the mainstays in football and baseball, Mac is one of the greatest basket- ball players Parker has had for a good many years. We sincerely know that Alex will be as popular in later life as he has been with us and we also feel that his success is assured because of his many abilities. JACK MacPHERSON Jack is the literary genius of our class. There have been countless times when the English class was roaring over one of jack's narratives or just fascinated by his unique style. His contributions to the Question Mark and the Record prove this. Jack is also somewhat of a musician, playing the accordion much to the entertainment of people in the Weekly shop, and he also can sing very pleasingly. Every Weekly member must remember Jack's relation of Mrs. Pen'nyfeather's experiences. But Jack does study and has earned his stripes as a chemist and a Latin scholar. We know Jack will succeed in his life work, writing, and we hope to hear more of him. RICHARD MAVIS One of the few people who has gone through his school life and not acquired an enemy. Perhaps it's because of Dicks ability to help when one needs it but not to meddle. Dick has won his spurs in various ways at Parker. One of his primary abilities is the ability to solve almost any problem in mathematics correctly, with sureness and speed. Then, he has served on the Extempor- aneous Speaking team, and at each meet he has gained a place very near the top, another example of his clear, precise trend of thought. He has tried to better student government, being the author or co-author of many bills. Moreover, he has won his major letter in football. Dick's been a great friend to us all and we wish him success!
