RUDOLPH EDWARD MAYER Entered llth form: Student Council 12: Rifle Club 11: Football 1lC, 12: Hockey ll, 12C: Track 11: Tennis 12. Rudi entered Country Day two years ago and has accomplished a great deal since that time. Scholastically, he ranks in the upper half of his class: moreover, he has displayed his athletic prowess in varsity football, varsity hockey, and varsity track. Rudi was elected to the Student Council this year and did as fine a job on the Council as he has done in every other field in which he has participated. During the course of the school year Rudi has proba- bly taken more kidding than any other member of the class: but, as might be ex- pected, Rudi received it with a good-na- tured smile. Next year Rudi will attend either Cornell or Brown. There he will be as successful as he has been at Country Day. LAWRENCE EDWARD MACIVER Entered 8th form: Class President 9: Student Council 10, 11, 12: Prefect 12: Glee Club 12: Rifle 8, 9, 10, 11: Auto Mechanics 11, 12: Art Club 8, 9: Hockey 10, ll, 12: Track 10, ll, 12. Larry is one of the most well-liked mem- bers of the Senior Class. His chief charac- teristics are bow ties and a shy manner, punctuated by uproarious bursts of good humor. He is fairly active in extra-curricu- lar activities: he goes out for Glee Club. Auto Mechanics, and Art Club. He was a former class president and was elected to the Student Council as a sophomore: as one of this year's prefects he takes his duties seriously. Because of a dislocated shoulder he could not go out for football. but he was the manager of the I. V.'s this year: in winter he goes out for varsity hockey and, in spring, for the track squad. He is a conscientious worker. Larry is planning to follow his brother Dan to Princeton. We all join in wishing good luck to a swell fellow.

PAUL HENRY HEISE Entered 6th form: Rille Club 8: Manual Training 8, 9, 10, ll: Auto Mechanics ll: Ledger ll, 12: Circula- tion Manager 12. Paul is one of those people who really enjoy ill health, for he is absent almost every other day. Seriously speaking, he holds down the man-sized job of Ledger Circulation Manager, having to send out every two weeks almost a thousand copies of that publication. In addition he is al- ways willing to write last minute Ledger and Arrow articles. His activities have been Auto mechanics and Manual Train- ing. Pugnacious Paul also excels in that peculiar brand of basketball, Senior Leagues. But Paul's greatest love is polo. at which he played hard all summer. His two steeds are named Scotch and Soda . Paul is liked by all for his friendli- ness and irresponsible charm. Paul hopes to enter the University of Ari- zona: we wish him luck. REIGH FREDERICK KLANN Entered 9th form: Class Treasurer 10, 11: Student Council 9, 10. ll, 12, Pretec! 12: Rifle Club 11: Glee Club 10, ll, 12: Gamboliers ll, 12: Ledger 10. ll, 12: Arrow Editor 12: Football l0C, 11C, 12C, Co-captain 12: Basketball 10, l1C, 12: Tennis SC, IOC, 11C, 12, Captain 12: Second Honors 9: Class Award 10: Honorable Mention 10. Reigh is an important cog in the machinery of Country Day life. A versatile athlete, he was fullback and co-captain of this year's football team. He has done a good job on the basketball team, while in spring he really shows his mettle by starring on the tennis squad as captain and by performing on the C. D. track team. As far as academic matters are concerned, Reigh consistently makes the honor roll, part of his success being due, undoubted- ly, to his mastery of the art of the gran- deur of generality . He is active in extra- curricular activities, for he is a Gambolier and an assistant editor of the Arrow. He is one of this year's prefects. Reigh plans to go to Yale, where we wish him the best of luck.

HERMAN FEHR MERKER Entered first form: Rifle Club 8, 9, 10, 11. 12: Manual Training 8, 9. 10: Auto Mechanics 12: Football 12. Herman has the distinction of having en- tered Country Day in kindergarten and of thus beginning the climb up the Country Day scholastic ladder which ended with his graduation this Iune. Herman used his tremendous bulk to good advantage on coach Laird's football team as well as in Senior League basketball. Spring found Herman tossing the shot on Mr. Oviatt's track squad. In the field of extra-curricular activities Herman has shown interest and has participated in both rifle club and auto mechanics. This winter Herman joined the newly-created ski team, whose snowy gambols he greatly enjoyed. Next year will find Herman at Wisconsin, if he does not decide to go elsewhere. ,wtf IOHN ROBERT MEYER Entered lst form: Prefect 12: Student Council ll, 12: Ledger 9, 10: Assistant Ledger Editor ll: Ledger Editor 12: Arrow 10, ll: Assistant Arrow Editor 12: Chess Club 10, 11: Senior Leagues ll, 12: Soft- ball 8. 9, 10: First Honors 8: Second Honors 9, 10. ll: English Prize 8: Science Prize 8: Class Awards 8, 9, 10, ll, 12: Harvard Book Prize 11: Bausch 6'- Lomb Science Prize 11: Time Prize 8. Soap-box Iohnny, one of the few remaining members of the old guard, would give Demosthenes and several others a run for their money if they were alive today. He has maintained a remarkable scholastic record at C.D. Iohn has brought recogni- tion to himself and to the school by twice winning the Milwaukee Sentinel Hearst History Contest. If he were to be with us longer, it is likely that we would need an addition to the library in order to house the I. Meyer History Collection. In the extra-curricular line lohn has served as editor of the Ledger and assistant editor of the Arrow, contributing much to the success of these publications. Iohn will be a member of the class of '51 at Harvard, where he undoubtedly will make his contribution to scholarship.
