CLu 'lljr. Schneider Page eighteen Work, wit and wisdom—this aptly describes Mr. Ernest Schneider, our class advisor. The untiring assistance of Mr. Schneider has been a predominant factor in the success of our Senior Class. Undoubtedly his knowledge, advice, and support have been the major reasons for the unusual success of the Senior Sales Committee. At all Senior events he seemed always present to give advice and help. Yet his position has been advisory, to let the students do as much as possible for themselves. All marvel at our very jovial and affable class advisor. Mr. Schneider’s unusual wit has evidently given him great patience and an understanding of human nature. His friendship is highly valued and evolves a new confidence in the individual. Cheerful Ernie” as he is sometimes affectionately called is a wonderful example of amiability. The greatest wisdom of all is a philosophical understanding of human nature. Mr. Schneider naturally abounds with this understanding. He is effectively candid without hurting feelings. He can easily put a person in his place and win his respect for it. His wisdom is guided by practicality as well as ideals. His many friends’ confidence in him exemplifies his great understanding. Mr. Schneider accepts little but deserves much credit for the good record of the Senior Class of 1950. He will always be among our fondest memories. To Mr. Ernest Schneider, a swell guy”— thanks and good luck.

Quietly accepting tasks assigned to him, Henry Feuerbach, our vice-president, accomplished much without the glory accompanying hard work. His willingness to work endeared him to the students. Without his patience, many of the successes attributed to the Senior class might not have been Tasks given to do are well done,” this applies to our smiling secretary, Janice Jakes.
