THE MILLVALEAN Page Ten ALDINGER, WALTER Walt General Course, Class Basketball. Amiable, cooperative, easy-going-all three blend together in forming Walt Aldinger. Not the least important of his assets is Wzlt's unusual laugh. Practically everyone has heard those jolly hearty peals of laughter at one time or another.

There's never a dull moment when Kathy's around, for she is a carefree lovable girl who can always think of something witty. She can readily boast being the best read Senior. Since she expresses frankly her opinions and feelings on all subjects, she has become an advisor to many of her classmates. BAUER, ALVIN A Honor Graduate, Commercial Course, Sec- retary of Freshman Class, Vice President of Sophomore Class, Chieftain Staff, Candy Seller, Rifle Club, Girls' Chorus, Senior Play, Millvalean Staff. This petite miss is gifted with natural curly hair and a dazzling smile. She is small in stature and sweet in disposition. Her natural bri htness is valuable to any girl. Alvina is lovable and liked by all. proving the fact that good things do come in small packages. BEARL, MARGARET Margie General Course, Vice President of Crafts Club, Girls' Athletic Club, Millvalean Salesman. Not a sweeter or jollier person can be found in our class than Margie , Her determination in her art work will probably lead her to a successful career.

BENDER, EDWARD Speed General Course, Class Basketball, Class Mushball, Football, Hi-Y, Millvalean Sales- man, Stage Manager for Senior Play, Chieftain Staff, Wrestling. Variety is the spice of life must be Speed's motto for he seems to have a new girl friend for every month of the year. From latest reports, it appears that Bd's present heart-throb comes from Shaler. However, Speed gets along equally well with the fellows and he can usually be found pulling a gag on one of his friends. BENDER, IRENE Renee Commercial Course, Secretary of Crafts Club, Millvalean Staff. Irene lends her enthusiastic support to indoor as well as outdoor activities, and her independent spirit makes her stand out in any group. The character traits of politeness and neatness make her a perfect lady while the age old habit of blushing adds to her charm.

SENIOR PROM, 'Twas the twentieth of June And throughout each house- Each maiden was busy, busy as a mouse. The colorful gowns were put on with much care Q In hopes that the esoort soon would be there. Ma in her apron and Pa in 'his best Were just settling down for a nice evening rest. When suddenly outside there arose suich a clatter, I sprang from my chair to find out the matter. There standing straight and looking just so Was the handsome but awkward blushing young beau. His flowers were placed in a fair gentle hand And the long ride started for Bob Masons swing band. From the midst of the city to the edge of the town To the Wildwood Country Club the gang was bound. Then there was gossip and dancing and laughter, Which resounded to the top of every rafter. . Till the break Io-f the day that was dawning The tired ones, eager for sleep, began yawning. So the wraps were brought out And we left with a shout, Toodeloo to all and to all a good-night. fWith apologies to Eugene Field by Mary Heimbuecherj Page Nine 'rdf , li- 1 it - .1 5 .....

BERGMAN, LOIS Bug Commercial Course, Rifle Club, Baton Club, Crafts Club, Millvalean Staff, Camera Club. Gondlnaturcd Lois' thoroughness and alertness are roven facts in bookkeeping class. She attends football and basket- ball games with that same thoroughness, never missing one. Lois knits and collects autographs of famous people for diversion, but her real interest, we are told, lies in Ohio, where Mickey resides. BERNEBERG, MILDRED Millie Commercial Course, Tap Class, Senior Play, Minstrel, Girls' Chorus, Girls' Ath- letic Club, Millvalean Staff, Assembly Programs. Right now Milly is trying to become a cook, and a very pleasing one she makes with her red curls and jolly attitudc. Milly has made many of her friends happy this fall by presenting them with mittens she had knitted. Not only has she shown us how well she can sew, but also how well she can act. BERTRAM, DOROTHY Dottie Honor Graduate, Commercial Course, Rifle Club, Band, Orchestra, Crafts Club, Chief- tain Staif, Class Basketball, Millvalean Staff, South Westem P.S.M.A. Band 1940. Dot , who never lacks partners. is probably happiest when jitterbugging to the music of Glen Miller or dancing a smooth waltz to thc melodic strains of Wayne King. Dot is an ardent follower of all school activities as well as an added attraction to the school band, for she has won the honor of being the first to play the school's bell-lyrc. BIERY, JACK Butch Academnic Course, Band, Orchestra, Presi- dent of Senior Class, Vice President of Hi-Y, President of Rifle Club, Chieftain Staff, Vice President of Junior Class, Senior Play Prompter, Millvalean Staif. Jack, our Senior president, is the idol of the weaker sex. The best-dressed Senior, he is an industrious student, well mannered and pleasant, and has been described as the ideal American boy. Jack finds most delight in music and photography, being especially fond of Glen Miller's recordings. BOETTCHER, RALPH Honor Graduate, Commercial Course, Senior Play, Forum Club 1938, Millvalean Staff, Chieftain Staff. Although he appears serious to outsiders, Ralplfs class- mates now that he is the possessor of a keen sense of humor. This he has proven many times with his clever English themes and witty remarks in Economics. A flair for acting was also prominently displayed by Ralph with las unforgettable portrayal of Father in the Senior ay. BRAUN, ROBERT Wimp General Course, Class Mushball. If you hear the latest joke being related and glance around, nine times out of ten you will find the narrator to be Bob. Wit and humor are the two predominating traits in his m.a.kc'up. To many people Bob may appear quiet, shy, and unassuming, but his classmates know him as he really is-a carefree, amusing, likeable chap. NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY Page Eleven
