■ DONALD BARRER This year it’s been hard to know whether to say Hi, Don or Good morning. Professor Barrer to this senior who turned instructor. Don's a Wright Hall man who has already made good in physics and mathe- matics. He has also been interested in the band and the track team while at Ripon. He returned from his service in the air corps to become one of the many family men who this year are the common thing on the cam- pus. The Barrer family lives in Ripon at present DONALD BESELER Bill is another of the Two-can-live-as-cheaply-as one Club since his return from the infantry. Having taken every biology course on the curriculum Bill ended up as lab assistant this year. His irat is West and he has at times been treasurer and historian for the organization, as well as chaplain. In his spare time he made the rifle team, took some math and learned to be a teacher, as the high school students can attest. Bill came to dear old Ripon from Marshfield. GERALD B1RKHOLZ Birk came to Ripon with his twin sister and was promptly tagged Bro, a name which stuck all too long. He took part in football, basketball and track activities which makes him a versatile athlete. But his work as head- waiter in Commons really made him one of the best liked campus figures because it takes an even temper and a true sense of humor to keep that job. Birk became a West man and elected biology as his major subject. In his quiet way, he got around. GERALDINE B1RKHOLZ The other half of the Birkholz team, Sis comes, of course, from Omro. She joined Lyle, the singing sorority and got into the choir and Ver-Adest. The DAYS claimed her attention and she thereby qualified as a member of Pi Delta Epsilon. In her spare time she took part in a play or two and joined the Women's Athletic Associ- ation. Sis chose English as her major. She was the honorary captain for the Court of Honor at the Military Ball this year which makes her an all-around success. Page 24

HOWARD AVICHOUSER When he hasn't been working as “soc assistant to prove his mastery of his major, Howie has been gracing West Hall's battered portals or the Little Theatre stage. He qualified for the Veterans' Club after his army experience, and joined the other Ski enthusiasts who spent th© winter sliding down Merriman hill. But Howie gained his greatest fame for his ability to be late for every class he ever went to throughout the year. His home is in the Windy City. JACQUELINE BALDA Jackie, hailing originally from Oshkosh, came to Ripon via the College of Saint Catherine in Saint Paul where she had already begun to major in Spanish and French and had also laid th© foundation for her Phi Alpha membership. Another honor she claimed was the first presidency o: Pi Tau Pi of which she is a charter mem- ber. Jackie added German to the list of languages she has mastered and now knows the right answer in all of them—just ask her! CYNTHIA BAREOUR C. Y., daughter of our philosophy professor, chose German as her favorite subject. Her sorority is Park- hurst in which sh© served as chaplain this year and one of the mainstays of their sports activities during the last four years. Active in the Girl Sccut movement, C. Y. is a model ot deportment for any group of girls according to all reports from her sorority sisters who describe her as “stable. She is what is known as a town girl because her home is in Ripon. SHIRLEY BARNARD Shirley came to Ripon from the big little town of Omro, Wisconsin, to major in economics ar.d psychology. Once here she joined Pdrkhurst and this year served as its treasurer. She also went out for the Women's Athletic Association and became one of its most active members. Ouiet, but friendly. Shirley is known by her cheerful smile and the only thing her friends can tell about her is that she has been persistent in her efforts to gain ten pounds this year. Page

JAMES CALLEN a » Clep is the way we identify this Madison man who mado a name for himself playing football on Ingalls Field every fall. He came back to school after his in- fantry service to help reorganize the “R Club and serve as its first post-war president. In that capacity he supervised the 1946 Homecoming, doing such a superb job that the Crimson made him the Man of the Month for October. In all. this physical education major was one of the big wheels for his fraternity', Smith Hall. DAVE CHRISTENSON After a lonq period in the infantry, “Scoop returned to the hill to make a name for himself in varsity basketball. As a frosh he had first appeared by way of Wausau, Wisconsin. Besides his record on the basketball court and consequent membership in the “R Club, “Scoop became a company commander in the R.O.T.C. this year. He also completed his major in economics. An informal ballot among the frosh girls revealed that “Scoop, who is a Smith man, is near the top of their list-—for having the most beautiful crew-cut on campus. DONALD DAWSON The nickname “Doc was attached to this bespectacled fresh who looked like a medic, and it still holds for the senior who has majored in economics. “Doc took time out to increase the ranks of the infantry during the war. Upon his return, he found himself a man of many responsibilities with a wife at home and the office of vice-president of Wright Hall here. Prior to leaving for army service in 1943 he made a name for himself on the basketball courts. “Dec' gives Milwaukee as his home town. SALLY DUNN Last year's CRIMSON featured “Bunny among the most beautiful women on Ripon's campus, according to the final judgment of Earl Carroll; now we feature her as a senior. She is a Harwood qirl and has just finished keeping its financial reports for the year. We've seen “Bunny in both the Prom Court and Ver-Adest, and she is also a member of the Women's Athletic Associ- ation. In her more studious moments she could have been found in the biology laboratory. Sally's home tqwn is St. Paul, Minnesota. Page 25
