16 SENIORS The 1936 Class of Sophisticates Has Risen to Fame and to Power By MALCOLM HIGGINS Seniors at Park do things—not as a class but individually. Balancing aggression with tact, Victor Brown leads the student council in its first vigorous action in years, skillfully undermin¬ ing barriers between students and adminis¬ tration. Affable townsman Whipple leads Lowells to rush season victory; follows it with a club program that even makes Parchies admire him. Thoughtful and deliberate, Bill Good accumulates office after office, entrusted to him by confident classmates. Rosena Eld- ridge, similarly trusted by girls’ clubs and Y. W., restores “face” to International Rela¬ tions club. Dynamic member of student coun¬ cil is Zaz Schrader, who, saying what she thinks, talks herself around the country as Park’s orator and debater. Allee Niles, mem¬ ber of the council, arranges for Copley’s an¬ nual party and presides over Junior Citizens’ league. Bill Erwin collects quarters from Fritschy and Philharmonic ushers; takes time off to direct drama in successful Park Premiere Pro¬ duction— “The Bohemian Girl.” Albert Faurot rallies Parkites ’round the banner as “our director.” Ed Todd makes Park art¬ conscious and Jean Young entertains with her violin. Bob McMasters rushes after Stylus ads, after his man as varsity basketball guard, and after the opponent’s case on the debate plat¬ form. Higgins, former Stylus editor, pegs Hugh Malan Allee Niles President Vice-President Pinckneyville, Ill. Nevada, Mo. Bus. Administration History type for McMasters’ ads; sets L ines O ' Tripe on the linotype. Ray Lindeman gets a full¬ time job assisting dog-fish dissectors and his My-Lin Corp. makes photography a fine art. Ersal Kindel takes that famous smile and his skill with hammer and saw to the science hall and becomes master carpenter for the biology department. Dave Rhea, now first assistant at the greenhouse, brings his wisecracks into Dr. Keeler’s business classes. Merle McCune teaches freshmen to compose and studies the Victorian Era in her English honors course. Jane Adams proves there is something in a name as a sociology assistant. Helen Irwin, who remembers her dates, helps make history as Dean’s office typist. Skid Gilchrist returns from K. U. to lead Park’s varsity basketeers and to represent the college in the state Old Line contest. Gordon Olson janits Nickel and studies history; Bob Knapp janits Alumni, studies history, and plays Orion basketball. “T iger” Boesman, rejoicing in the title “Home Ec’ Assistant Extraordinary,” goes out to help Parchevard in athletics. Chuck Roe puts Parchies back on the map socially. Guy Manlove controls destinies of frosh Bible students, who little realize what a punster he really is. Caustically presiding over Orion, Red Newell finds a new interest in Aurora. Typewriter-tapper Knox majors in English and minors in debate. Another senior-senior couple includes Athlete Walker and Mathe¬ matician Cacchione. Class activities are directed b y Hugh Malan, president, Allee Niles, vice- president, Louise Mendenhall, first semester secretary- treasurer, and Alberta Massingill, her suc¬ cessor. Louise Mendenhall, Secretary-T reasurer Wellington, Kans. English

Morrison Acting Registrar Mr. Carl Dallinger Instructor in Speech and Psychology Miss Hazel Morrow Secretary to the President Miss Frances Fishburn Associate Librarian Miss Constance Vulliamy Secretary to the Business Manage r Mr. Dallinger, a gradu¬ ate of the class of ’34, still seems to be one of the col¬ lege boys rather than the assistant instructor in Speech. During his senior year he won the State Old Line Oratorical contest and represented Missouri at Evanston in the Interstate contest. Miss Frances Fishburn is a Park graduate and is Miss Waldron’s assistant in the library. Miss Morrison has been secretary to the Dean since her graduation from Park in 1932, and was recently made Acting Registrar. Miss Morrow, secretary to the president, is also a Park graduate. Miss Vulliamy is a lin¬ guistic enigma, combining an English, a Southern, and a Western accent. She has a ready smile and keeps books for Mr. Knight. The beautiful chrysan¬ themums grown in the Park College greenhouse are prod¬ ucts of Mr. Adolph Her¬ mann’s careful nurture. The Continued on page 97 Housemothers, Mrs. K. Debitt, Mrs. G.
