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!

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-.

ABBOTT L. PATTISON Abbott has held many important positions and has had many honors in his long career at Parker. As vice-president of Student Government, he has managed the study halls in a way which both students and faculty have liked. As one of the editors of the Record, his artistic ability has been very helpful. Besides these two most important jobs, he has found time to play in the or- chestra, to 'play lightweight basketball, and to keep his studies above reproach. So with all these capabilities Pat', is going to have a hard time choosing whether he should be an artist, musician, basketball player, scholar, or billiard player. For don't forget he is also an artist with a cue. JEROME PICKARD What would the senior class do without Picky, the child prodigy of Parker? Jerome lays claim to being Chicago's champ- ion lover of roof gardens and penthousesg also to being Mr. Osborne's exploder-in- chief, although he is the only one who can readily supply symbols for all chemical formulae. Jerome has more flowers in his speech than Burbank had in his garden, and the word exceeding two syllables doesn't exist that Jerry hasn't mispronounced. At times Jerome indulges himself in rather vague and pointless humor, but at other times he makes a remarkable showing of the swift workings of his very clever mind. We won't forget Jerome in a hurry. K7 JOCELYN POWELL Joe goes quietly on her way, and though most people donlt really know her, they can't help being aware of her many talents. First and greatest is her music, which she hopes to make her work. Her cleverness in art few people see, but it will come out. She is one of those to whom people go for help, and sometimes she is Upestered to deathf, but her disposition is unperturbed. She is a bundle of surprises and lots of fun if you can get her started. Her balance and steadiness are fine. The finishing touch is that with all her talents she is a good sport and ready to try something new. ,c M Q, os t alma wg uma TX X mrR'.',E.N .. , , , xv f '2 K l- V , U .TEN .43-W., 'f' . pi -' J . if K E fl X: il '- I if W ' F55 ri, In, ii miiild ' iggi.. l E
