M O R I E S] Ruth King “Ruthie” “She is a lady.” We shall always remember Ruth as a kind, patient girl who found no sacrifice too great for her friends. Her sympathetic smile has endeared her to every one who knows her. Unselfish consideration of others has help- ed many of our Seniors over otherwise hard bumps in their courses. There is always a need of such a personality as Ruth in our world. She will gain the same success in her later years that has marked her pleasant association with u Louise Komiakey “Bo-Peep” “With laughter, gaiety, work, and play, Louise indeed makes ours the perfect day.” This gav little lady for four years has been the ittle ray of sunshine in our class. Her ever present mirthfulness and witty jests have dispelled the gloom of many a day for her classmates. She is an earnest student. Along with this, she has been an in- dispensable worker in our lib- rary. For such a character in our world today there can be nothing but success. George Krueger “Bud” With a nature unspoiled, unblemished by success. And a warm, loyal heart ‘ncath a broad, sturdy chest.” During his scholastic career at C. II. S., “Bud” has proven to be one of her main supports. He played varsity football for three years, his task being climaxed by being awarded the captaincy. He also played basketball several seasons. “Krug” served as a Senior Class Officer, was pro- minent in the school operetta, was President of the Mono- gram Club, and a valuable friend to everyone. And what a brother! So Madeleine told us in one of her English assign- ments. Verna Litzinger “Maida” “Pep, Vim. and Vigor all combined, Another like her would be hard to find.” A whirlwind of energy, a bundle of joys, and a ton of laughter, “Maida” is a popular idol of the Senior Class. Along with these traits, “Maida” pos- sesses a contagious sense of humor, scholastic ability, and musical talent. For two years she has rendered valuable service to the Catholic High Orchestra and she is one of the charter members of our newly organized band. It will be a most reluctant farewell that bids “Maida” adieu. Evelyn Kinney “Herky” She came to us just this year. We’re happy to have her, never fear.” This unobtrusive maiden has made us justly proud of her. Her sincere and lovable dis- position has won many friends to her cause. If the past bears any weight upon the future, we arc assured that her assciates will be influenced by her mode! character. Madeleine Krueger “Mai” “Here’s all that earth could promise or bestow—youth, beauty, love to meet the beckoning years.” hen we started as Freshmen together, “Mai” was very shy and also very short, but now she has become one of our leaders in sports, studies, and also height. She has so much initiative that ideas are continually popping out of that curly head of hers. The Senior Class of ’36 proved its appreciation of her by electing her one of our able class ad- visers. Mai” is also Perfect of Our Lady’s Sodality. Clara Lison “Famous” “Wit, Grace, and Love in one star, shine.” Clara is usually seen in the center of an interested group in 103. “Famous” is dramatically inclined, for you have already seen her on the stage doing and singing her part. She possesses a captivating voice. In her studies, she fares just as well. Best wishes, we’ll miss your “ray of sunshine.” Mary L. Luscombe “Mary Lou” As jolly as the day is long.” It would indeed be very hard to find another to take Mary Louise’s place. Cheerful and full of fun, her gaiety has won her many friends. However, when seriousness is the call, she is the first to adapt herself to the need. To lend a helping hand to her classmates is her chief desire. Whatever the future has in store for her, she has the hearty support of her classmates.
