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

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!

To those who have managed to gain her friendship, she is a girl with a grand sense of humor and a big heart. Hazel has musical talent. She has sung many solos, and she sings blue songsv as no one else can. She was an efiicient head of the Glee Club, and one can often find her practicing in the music room at Student Activities period. She is gifted dramatically, as was shown by her excellent portrayal of Lady Macbeth. Besides all this, Hazel is dependable and knows how to mind her own business, a quality which is suf- ficient in itself. GORDON ROSS Gordon is six feet three inches of plain, solid, good fun. Being here since first grade, Gordon has had the chance and time to pile achievements and varied knowledge upon himself. Being manager of Pnrkcr's football and basketball teams was one achievement and was no easy job, but Gordon did it well. He has a natural gift for repairing and building things and he has developed into quite a naturalist a-nd chemist. Gordon is a person who, if he tackles a thing, keeps right at it until it is done, and done well. He has a unique mixture of common sense, leader- ship, a nimble wit, and the fibre of a real student. I-RANK ROTHSCHILD Frank is such a jolly fellow that one might think he could never be serious. When he does settle down he astonishes one with the knowledge, common sense, and power of thought that he possesses. Frank will always be remembered for his excep- tional work in chemistry and physics, also, for his faithful work on the Record. He has always been a sincere friend to all of us- a just and unassuming person. We are sure that Frank will always face the musicf' whatever it may be, with a staunch heart.
