W 4 - F 'wg 'vm NWETEEN HUNDRED FORTY THE TWELFTH MILLVALEAN During the last days of their Junior year, the class of '40 received a mimeo- graphed list of important Millvalean staff positions and were requested to cast their ballots for the persons of their choice. When the votes were counted, it was announced that Lucille Heimbuecher had been chosen EditorfinfChief and Robert Pischner, Business Manager. Then, from the rest of the ballots came the names of the persons chosen as heads of various sections. To Alice Manski went the important task of supervising and directing all senior Millvalean material. One of her assistants, Anne Pavkovich, was placed in charge of senior features. She in turn was aided by Edna Hoak, Alvina Bauer, and Jack Biery. Henry Erk, with his assistants, Wallace Miller, Ralph Boettcher, and Dan McCauley, turned out the writeups beside each senior boy's picture, while Kathryn Auth with her staff-Marian Ritchie, Mary Marlovits, and Anne Murslack-wrote those of the girls. Each senior's activities throughiout his high school career were recorded beside the pictures by Etta Mae Mohr and Mildred Berneberg and the secrecy of the senior census was carefully guarded by Margaret Colville and Marie Schmeltz. Because of the thoroughness and accuracy required in underclassmen writeups, Vivian Mohr, with the helpful suggestions of English teachers, placed Thelma Rava, Ruth Haugh, and Mary Heimbuecher in charge of the interesting junior feature. Edythe Sauter, Virginia Heim-buecher, and Edith Miller wrote the clever Sophomore article and Catherine Pavkovivch, Armella Ulrich and Anna Mae Kofmehl devised the Freshman writeup. In charge of school activities writeups was Marie Kaib who capably directed the writings of Norman Lang, musical activities, Bette Zeilfelder, social affairsg and Marion Robinson, club writeups. When it was announced that Edward Ruzomberka was head 'cf the Athletic section, everyone knew a wise -choice had been made, for Ed was a star athlete himself. Warren Wenner and Sam Hoak assisted with the football writeups, Frank Svach and Robert Derringer with the basketball, while Mary Sebetich recorded the activities of the girls' class basketball teams. Paul Pfischner's hobby stood him in good stead when he learned of his position as photo-graphy editor. His able assistants were Betty Ann Dillman in charge of senior pictures, Allen Kremmel, group pisctures, and William Koza, small informals. jimmy Donaldson supervised the artistry of the yearbook, .and Elmer Voit controlled the money of the annual through his position of treasurer. To get all the material in a readable condition, these efficient typists were appointed-Armella Yochum, Elizabeth Klug, Bill Pfischner, Irma Maire, Lois Bergman, Elizabeth Wilhoit, Norma Ziegler, and Jean Schmitt. For the untiring energy displayed by Mrs. Keller and Miss Bargman and the whole Senior Play casts in raising funds as well as providing excellent entertain' ment, we express our deepffelt appreciation. To Miss Johnston, the whole Senior class as well as the staff extend their wholefhearted gratitude for her unselfish cooperation and her ability to make the class realize the importance of pulling together. We also express our thanks to the rest of the faculty for the help and advice so generously given in time of need. Page Thirty-five
