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.

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.

ROBERT DAVID ROSENBERG Entered llth form: Auto Mechanics 11: Ledger ll, 125 Arrow 12: Senior Leagues ll, 12. Bob came to us from Whitefish Bay High School last year and quickly painted him- self into the Country Day picture. His cheery disposition and genial personality have won him many friends. In the sports line he puts his bulk to the Senior Leagues. and extra-curricularly speaking, he is one of the camera clickers for the Arrow. He's a numismatist at heart, and all his spare cash goes into rare and ancient coins. His presence is easily recognized at noon by his familiar and continual lunch-room con- tention of every boy at the table, for the emarks are usually humorous. Bob is interested in attending a business school in the East. We wish him the best of luck and know he will succeed. Nersations which sometimes attract the at- ARTHUR WILLIAM MILLER, IR.

Bill has a personable, easy-going nature and has always been well-liked by his classmates and other acquaintances. He is one of the finest athletes to graduate from Country Day in recent years, having par- ticipated and excelled in football. basket- ball, and track. Besides his athletic ac- complishments Bill is known for his esca- pades with the opposite sex from a nearby girls' school. As yet, Bill has not decided upon what col- lege he will attend: although it may be Dartmouth. Wherever Bill goes, we are sure that Country Day's loss will be his future alma mater's gain and that Bill will rapidly acquire as many friends there as he has at Country Day.
