M E M 0 R I E S™ Catherine Markferding “Kay’ “A true friend is a friend forever. “Kay” is one of those Kiris who never looks blue. She is always happy and delights in making others feel the same. ‘ Kay” is a great talker, hut we never tire of listening to her, for her topics are interesting. Kay” expects to he a private secre- tary and we think she will suc- ced. She loves to read hooks, for she says that they contain a world of knowledge, and who is there to gain say this fact ? Ellen McGrcehan Giggie” Better late than never. Ellen is frequently seen with Mary Heeney atempting to in- crease the happiness in the hearts of her classmates. She is always happy and is the kind of girl one likes, for she does her part. The class of ’36 wishes you success in your future years, Ellen. Anna Ruth Nitch Nitchy” Quiet, simple, modest, Kay She'll gently steal your heart away. Here we have the personifica- tion of the adjectives in this quotation. About very few can it he said that they never have been heard to utter an unkind remark, hut thiscan he truly as- serted of Xitchy.” Interested in her studies, popular with her group, she is a favorite with both teachers and students. Mis- chievous, cheery, f r i e n d 1 y, Xitchy” is the best cure for depression, mental or financial. Ophelia Nowading Honey” Love hinds her to her friends.” I’d like to write many stories and have Honey” as my hero- ine in each. For piety and cour- age she would he my Joan of Arc;” for sincerity and devotion she would he my Evangeline for childlike sympathy and con- fidence she would he my Little Flower.” She has proven herself a worthy member of our class, and may her life he filled with as much sweetness as her name. 20 Mary Jane McCann Mickey” Quiet, hashful, and not too tall. Always ready to help them all. Mickey” possesses both in- terest and charm, which may be attributed to her Irish ancestry. From the dimple in her chin to her dancing feet Mickey” is one bundle of fun and laughter. A better sport can not be found in the Senior Class. Her ability to make friends will help her to make her future a great success. Wiliam McMahon Mack” The apparrel oft proclaims the man.” Mack’s” dress sets the stand- ard at Catholic High. It is a decided pleasure to have gained Mack’s” friendship, because, underneath his suave manners is an undercurrent of the real regular guv”type. Whether or not he obtains a white-collar” position after his graduation, Mack” shall always be the per- fect gentlemen to his classmates. Matthias Noll Matt” All doors open to courtesy. Unobtrusive, quiet, polite and shy are the words one might use to qualify Matt.” At times Matt” becomes a little tired and takes what he calls a little needed rest.” We know not ex- actly what Matt” has design- ated to be his life’s work, but here’s our best wishes, Matt.” Charlotte Pfefferl Pepper” She had tongue at will. Yet was never loud. Charlotte, or Pepper,” as her best friends know her, has been the right hand Man” of the class since her Freshmen year. Her ability as an artist is well known at Catholic High. During her Junior year, Pepper show- ed her school spirit and executive ability by serving as a Junior officer. As a result of this good work, she was chosen Sodality representative of 201 during her last year at J. C. H. S. It is not at all surprising that Pepper’s” one desire is to specialize for work in a hospital for children.

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.

E MOKIE S Agnes Puzak “Aggie” “Nothing as popular as a friend personality.’ “Meekness is the l cst of virtues.” Yes, Agnes possesses that quality, meekness, that seems to be very hard to attain. She is very studious. Wherever or whenever one finds her she is earnestly trying to master a difficult assignment. She is ex- ceptionally loyal in her devotion to Catholic High and apprecia- tive of her Alma Mater. Agnes has been a very capable Trea- surer of our Latin class of ’36. Constance Roddy “Connie” “Kind words are the music of the world.” “Connie.” that petite miss, is a very congenial person. Her lovely smile is always seen by all who pass her way. Merry as the day is long, our “Connie” brightens every room she enters. She al- ways has a kind word for every- one. “Connie,” as you leave the portals of Catholic High may you take with you all the good wishes of the Senior Class and cherish them, as we shall forever cherish your memory. Rita Rosenbergcr “Rita” Few things arc impossible to diligence and skill.” Rita’s success in her studies certainly shows that she pos- sesses both diligence and skill and has made good use of them. She is a very conscientious girl in her school work, and she con- sequently is among the leaders on the honor roll. We, the class of ’36 are proud of this member and we feel confident that her mental equipment will get her far on the “Road to Promin- ence.” Mario Scarpa “Mutt” “As a man thinketh in his heart so he is.” Scarpa is the sheik of the class. Any time you may seize the opportunity to gaze upon his noble profile you will see his hair combed neatly down. “Mutt” was a very active member of both the football and basketball teams. The time will come when you shall have scored your touchdown in life, then don’t forget vour schoolmates of’36 at Catholic Hi. Mario! Alberta Reiser “Bertie” This quiet, unassuming young lady has won the hearts of all her classmates. She is every- body’s friend. All our Seniors sum up “Bertie’s” character in two words, a “real girl. We arc sure that her life's road will be a happy one. Robert Roddy “Bob” A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Behold the future “kingfish” of the business world! “Bob came through this year with hy- ing colors. He is numbered among the best bookkeepers in the commercial class. But his ac- complishments are not all of a scholastic nature, for “Bob” is really very popular with his classmates. May you continue in this excellent manner. John Ruth “Farmer” “Men of courage, men of sense, and men of letters are frequent; but a true gentleman is what one seldom.s sees.” In Farmer” we have one of the finest tenors that has ever attended Catholic High. He has starred in several operettas and also in the Christmas musicals in his Junior and Senior years. John was one of our football heroes, in spite of the hardships he had to face in getting to and from school. “Farmer” possesses one of the most charming per- sonalities in the class and as a result makes friends everywhere he goes. John is a student who in the future will add to the glory of Catholic Hi. Raymond Schnell “Mayor” Young in ago, but in sage wisdom old. This loving heart and kind soul.” “Mayor” Schnell is well known to all his classmates. “Raymic” is a jolly, hard-working chap. Whenever there is laughter, there is Raymie.” His friend- ship is cherihsed by all. He fairly “shone” in athletics. His pre- sence inspired our basket ball teams on to many hard earned victories. The class of '36 salutes “Raymie” and wishes him the best of luck.
