Alumni Section SCHOOIJS success is measured not alone by the number of students graduat- lgfs' lg ed from it: but by the individual success of those students who have gained their start through it. Nlenomonee Falls High School comes up to the top when measured according to those standards. The world holds many successful men who gained their start through the knowledge acquired while they attended it. Among our alumni are to be found Chemists, Lawyers, Doctors, Professors, Min- isters, Business Men, and persons of many other successful callings. Nlenomonee Falls High School is justly proud of the many people who have gone forth from its doors into the world and made successes of themselves. It is the purpose of this section to try to stimulate an interest among you Alumini which will help to promote a stronger unity among the Alumni of our school. LETTERS RECEIVED FROM ALUMNI. Alumni Editor. Dear Sir: Sometime ago I received a letter asking for information for the Periscope. There isn't much that I can say but if in saying it I can help your class and above all NI. F. H. S. I should be glad to do so. Even though the time is lengthening since I left that institution, the name of M. F. H. S. is dear to me. I do not think that the purpose of this section to try to stimulate an interest among you Alumni which will me. I am at present teaching, a Rural School, not far +from Iylenomonee Falls. Thus far l have surely found it interesting. It is growing more so day by day. Through it all I think I can see some of the needs of the rural communities at the present time. There are a great many needs indeed. I think your idea for the Alumni section is splendid. I hope I will be able to meet my classmates in thought when I receive the new Periscope. Enclosed find a check of One Dollar and Fifty Cents for my subscription to the Perisco e. . . P Sincerely Yours, Elsa Schneider. Alumni Editor, Dear Sir: Your letter received and will try to answer it immediately. After finishing college at Naperville I started to work at the Standard Trust and Savings Bank, one of the loop banks of Chicago. I started as a clerk and in about six months was made manager df the transit department. After working there about two and one-half years I was offered a position of assistant cashier of the West Irving State Bank, a new bank, opening up on Irving Park Boulevard, Chicago, and here I am at the present time. Oh, yes, I forget, I was married, Sept. 18, 1923, to Miss Floy C. Ahrens, a Cedar Falls, Iowa girl, and have bought a bungalow a few blocks from the bank, and am enjoying my home, friends and work. Here's hoping that the Periscope may be bigger and better this year-and put me down for a subscription. . Sincerely, Melvin D. Schmidt. Page Sixty-sefveq X , i 5, , rs N I K
