WILLIAM KERBS ANNA MARIE KNORR “Billy” Well, Billy, we’ve pone through four years with you and we still haven’t seen what’s behind that sarcastic mask of yours. However, you have endeared yourself to us and we wish you the best. ELFRIEDE KIKS Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Senior Play 4; H ockey; Archery; Basketball; Mu- sical Comedy. This dark-haired, willowy miss is a genius at the piano and is one of those friendly people who seem to be adept at spreading cheer. “El,” as Georgina in the Senior Play, is well known for her bright “Hi-Ya” in the halls and her ability at sports. Her one pet peeve is prob- ably the misspelling of her first name. We wish her loads of luck, although we know she will probably be a great concert pianist without it. » President of Homeroom 3; Co- chairman of Ticket Committee for Musical Comedy 4; Student Forum 4; Honor Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Na- tonal Honor Society 4. See that gal below? Her middle name spells charm. Anna Marie is our most polite senior girl and her smile cannot be resisted. With these assets in her pocket she will undoubtedly be a success as a nurse. MARY LOU KOEHLER Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Honor Society 1, 2; Capt. of Ticket Committee for Senior Play; Hall Cop. This gal must have funny bones throughout her whole body, for she’s never sad. It only takes five minutes of Mary Lou’s company to put you out of the deepest blues. Good luck as a nurse, Mary. WALTER KURRAS “Cookie” Football; Track; Revues 3, 4; Fire Squad; Hall Cop. Tall, dark and handsome, that’s Walt. Whenever you see him he has a sparkling smile on his face and a toothpick in his mouth. Football, track, goodtimes, and teasing the girls are his favorite pastimes. You can’t help but like him when you come in contact with his magnetic personality and good looks. EINAR LAGERHOLM “Son” Track 3, 4; Basketball 3. Einar is another of our “artists.” In addition to being very much in- terested in drawing and art, he is quite a good poet and does a lot of writing. His height provided him with usefulness as a basketball player as well as speed for track.

In the sports line, Jack not only has a craze for bowling, but also is an expert as a center fielder in base- ball. Good luck, Mac. gleam in his eyes, and a laugh for everyone—that’s Charlie. His hob- bies all center around cars and motorcycles. He’s a good sport, and a swell pal. T “fay ca 'J.€r '-z.tf Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Operetta 2, 3, 4; Senior Play 4; Hall Cop 4; Dec- orating Committee for Junior Prom. Here’s a gal who has made ever so many friends with the help of those big brown eyes. Cazzie has a won- derful sense of humor, for wher- ever there’s laughing and joking, Cazz is in the midst of it. She’s also quite a musician as was shown by her interest in the pianist Sigi Weisenberg.

Cheerlead- ers 3; Secretary of Jr. Class 3; Capt. of Varsity Cheerleaders 4; Senior Play 4. “Bobbie,” as she is called by her friends, is one of the most jovial girls in the senior class. There is never a dull moment while site is around, since she is always laugh- ing. She will be remembered not only as the lively and cute captain of the cheerleaders, but also for her stirring and humorous per- formance as “Penny” in the play. THOMAS MEIER “Tommy” Local Honor Society 1, 2, 3, 4; Na- tional Honor Society 4. Whenever you see a little blond fellow with a scholarly appearance walking around the halls, that’s Tommy. He doesn’t fool anyone, though. You can’t hide that riot- ous sense of humor under a pro- fessor’s frown, Tommy. However, with those marks w’e know you’ll go far in your field, Tommy. RICHARD MENDELMAN “Spike” Band 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Operetta 3, 4; All State Choir 4; Senior Play 4; Revue 2, 3. Tall, blond and with a cute face, which is usually beet red, “Spike” has made his mark in our memory as one of the most cheerful boys in the class. “Spike” has a wolfish nature which keeps the girls guess- ing, but they love it. With these attributes as well as brains and a wonderful personality we know he will make a remarkable engineer after graduating from Purdue Uni- versity.
