l Tl-IE MEIQCUIQY I Robert Tinker Bob was one of those athf letically minded fellows whose time was completely taken up with the sport life at school. He participated in practically all of our sports. He began play' ing football on the freshman team and ended his athletic career by playing on the varsity. Renata Turk Renata was a quiet girl who did go about school rather un- observed, but in her own way. To those who really did become acquainted with her, she proved a real friend. Renata did her best and was successful in all she did. We know you will go far, because of this, Renata. Dorothy Urbanek Dot , as she was known about school, devoted most of her spare time to participation in athletics. We are reminded of her part of the championship volleyball team. In order to promote these interests, she plans to go to Indianapolis, where she will study physical education. Q ,fr ,f ' i fit. .3 i Lois Weber Everybody knew Susie . While she served on the library staff, she was helpful and toler' ant with all of us. Lois was an enthusiastic member of House' hold Arts Club and Cam . From her work in Household Arts, we expect that Lois will make an excellent dietician. Thomas Woods Tom found himself addicted to the -mysteries of scienceq hence he became an ardent Scif ence Club member. Through his four years of high school this unusual interest created for him a large number of friends. Tom has gone to the Univer- sity of Wisconsin to study forestry. Viola Zimmerman Vi's outstanding interest was music. She was in many programs given by the Chorus and A'Capella Choir. The Thanksgiving Contatas W e r e only a part of those programs in which she took part. How' ever, it seems Viola is going to forsake music and take up secretarial work. Bemice Benz Bernice was a member of G.A.A., Shovel, Cam, and a Student Board monitor. She helped very efficientf ly in the cafeteria. In 1934 she played on the championship volley' ball team. Her ambition is to be- come a secretary, after attending business college. Elmyra Bemdt Myra was a little shy in her ways around Riverside. The speech class will remember her as presi- dent of the class parliamentary club and her able assistance when there was typing to do. While at school she was very much interested in junior and senior choirs. Gertrude Bishop Many Riversiders remember that captivating voice which they heard near the cafeteria before school and between classes. Needless to say, it belonged to Gertrude Bishop, another loyal student whose ambi- tions after graduation will lead her to stenography as a profession. Dorothy Bleier Dot was one of our Riverside girls who had just lots of pep. Whether it was at a football game or school, you could see her in the midst of it all, having the most fun. We need many active people like that, and Dorothy surely does an' swer the requirements. Anna Bogadi Beany was one of Riverside's most charming graduates. A mem' ber of Camaraderie and Shovel, she had many friends throughout the school. Her athletic inclinaf tions led her to join G.A.A. Chorus also claimed her attention. She certainly ought to make a cheerful nurse. Elfwood Braatz Dick was not only a particif pant in football and track at school, but also outside of school. Al' though not active in it, he was in' terested in dramatics. Dick plans to attend Wisconsin and take a course in agriculture. We believe he will be as successful there as here. Frank Busalacchi VVe shall miss Bussie and his ready smile. He served as an able football manager in our busy season in the push towards the champion' ship. A heart full of vitality beats behind his manager's NE . Vera Couch Camaraderie was the big sister club for Rae , who was best known in her own circle of imme' diate friends as a sort of quiet, dilif gent worker. Vera, because of this excellent trait, will become a very efficient secretary. Lorraine Dassow Lorraine will be remembered as an efficient student in the commerf cial work. Her good sportsman- ship and kindness won her a place with those she associated with. Lor' raine was a member of German Club and Camaraderie while she attended Riverside. Lilyan deVoursney Here was a girl of rare humor. Every minute that one spent with her was filled with her Diamond Lil and other impersonations. Lilyan was very active in Cue, Cam' araderie, Shovel, and Allen Clubs. William Eckert The halls of fame of Riverside may echo with this name in the future. Bill was intensely inter' ested in science, radio, and engin' eering. The vocation of chemical engineering requires a great deal of long and hard study, we know. He will take such a course at Marquette. Robert Ehr Those blond curls caused many feminine hearts to skip a beat. Bob was one of the best known fellows who have passed through our doors. Although very busy, he found time to use his study periods for the Older Boys' duties. Vv'e wish you the utmost success in the future. Page Nineteen

l THE MEIQCUIQY l Loraine Raether Much can be said about Tina , She was valedictorian and vice'president of the senior class. Her excellent work in shorthand and typing was known even to those unknown to her. Her secretary's E is ample proof of her ability. Tina's smile will live long in our memories. Lambert Rapp Lambert plans to study at the University of Wisconsin to be a doctor. At Riverside he was very active in our music depart- ment, playing in the band, or- chestra, and the Minstrel Show band. Lambie was also the excellent piano player on the community singing programs of the school. Music soothes the savage soul. Edward Reiss Eddie was one of those fel' lows whom everyone knew. As cheerleader Eddie did his best to make the cheers ring out for good old E. D. H. S. Besides being a cheerleader, he also went out for football. As an en' thusiastic member of Shovel Club he appeared as one of those dark minstrel men. Lynn Roberts Lynn was rather quiet. He spent much of his time devel' oping himself for the cross- country team on which he was an active member. Shovel Club claimed Lynn as one of its workers, and he also belonged to the Student Board. It is his ambition to go out into the bus- iness world. We wish him much success. Louise Sanders Lou caused somewhat of a sensation among the members of the stage crew, when she be' came its first wardrobe mistress. She was kept busy helping the various clubs. Lou plans to continue her work at State Teachers' College, specializing in library work. Esther Schlossman Schlossy was one of the most active seniors. She seemed to go everywhere and take part in everything. She certainly was splendid in our Pigftail Day program. Her activity in G.A.A. showed what she could do along in athletics, and Allen Club also held her interest. Page Eighlrrrz Eleanor Schwerm Elinor is characterized by her nickname, Happy , and by that you may see that she was very popular among her friends. Happy was a Student Board monitor in her assembly and also was member of Camarad' eric. Happy's smile was con' tagious, and one could not re- sist her cheery personality. Clark Sherman curly hair was the source of much envy on the part of certain girls who longed for the same type of curly hair which he tried to keep down. Because of his ambition to be a journalist, Bud plans to attend Marquette, and we wish him much luck in that field. iiBudvSn Carl Siefert Carl needs no introduction. Captain of our football team, he led not only the team to glory but himself also. To prove this, he was elected president of his class, and president of Tuxis HifY. May you prove as successful in engineering at Wisconsin as you did here, Carl. Marvin Simon Marv was one of the most popular fellows around East. Shovel Club, Orient, and Mer' cury monitor were among his activitiesg he was also an ardent supporter of the Older Boy's Organization. Marvin was an able talker and should be a good lawyer. Marquette will be his future address. Florence Stivers To Florence's many friends her happy smile recalls the memory of a true friend-one whom they enjoyed knowing and by whose companionship they pronted. She was a mem- ber of Shovel, Cam, and Science Clubs, and she plans to continue her work at Downer College. Charlotte Thierfelcler Sharley , in her work in Household Arts, showed a bud' ding interest in the career of a housefwife. It was surprising to learn that she did not expect to apply her new knowledge, but planned to attend Carroll Col' lege to study journalism. Her choice is well chosen, and she should do very well.

l TI-IE MEIQCUIQY I Marjorie Elmer When we think of Margie , we remember a petite blonde who won many friends by her person- ality. She plans to study dental hygiene under the supervision of the Marquette Dental College. Gerhard J. Elshoff Gary had unusual ability as a football player, being one of those flashy backs on the 1933 champion' ship team. That football enthusf iasm was carried over, because we found him using that splendid foot' ball knowledge to assist in coach' ing the 1933 team on' to victory. Marion Gary Marion sang her way into everyone's heart. Her interests were in music, and these were dis' played by her being in the Music Festival, the Music Tournament, and Once in a Blue Moon . Frederick Hardtke Fred was a prince of a fellow. Everyone who came in contact with him liked him immensely. Al' though Fred had little time after school, he was in the school band, and also a Student Board monitor. Adline Marie Jaeger Besides working in the office, Honey participated in many of the musical programsin the audi' torium, and by these developed an ear for music, which will add inter' est to her life as a stenographer. Carl Janscha Carl was a good scout. We will always remember his unusually fine American history recitations. Carl loved to work for perfection. His ambition is to become an expert accountant. Margaret Jones Margaret was one of the senior girls whom we did not hear so much about during her stay at Riverside. Marge plans to go on in the world in secretarial work, and equipped as she is, she will have no trouble. Ellen Kasten Ellen was one of the many quiet girls at school whom we saw but did not become acquainted with. Her activities at school were limited to Camaraderie, but we are ignorant of her outside activities. Doris Kelling While Doris was not outstanding in club work at Riverside, she did her bit for the success of the clubs to which she belonged. As a mem' ber of Allen Club she enjoyed the good times and fellowship of that organization. Clara Jane Koch Who could mention athletics and not be reminded of Clara Jane? She was an active member of G.A.A., so active, in fact, that she was both a tennis and basketball champion, and a very good sport. Page T Lzccizty Mary Krause Mary, Giggles to her near friends, spent her spare time in the library assisting Miss Pali. When she was not busy there, she could be found playing volleyball with G.A.A. or attending meetings of German Club. Earl Leaman Remember a rather short fellow with shining black hair, who was always sure to say hello to you, if he knew you? He gained many friends by his pleasant manners, and those who know him are sorry to see him leave Riverside. Roman Lukaczewicz Roman was called Cabs for short. After graduation he'is go' ing to work as an accountant. He found some time to go to Shovel and Science Clubs. James McGuire James was one senior for whom everyone had a good word. Jim' my plans to be an accountant. We know that a fellow of Jim's ability will attain a position of importance in the world. Harold Mathiak A boy with one ambition and one interest, forestry and science, describes Harry . To those who knew him he seemed rather quiet, but thoughtful, and always ready for a good time. The University of Wisconsin Extension is receiving a grand asset from Riverside when Harold goes there. Fred Menlce Now that Fritz is through with high school, he plans to enter Wis' consin where he can prepare for his chosen profession of a mining engineer. Lorraine Pipkom Lorry plans to join the bus' iness world as a stenographer for some large concern. Who knows? She was one of the girls who helped the Mercury by her typing the necessary work. Lyle Rabe Another young man interested in athletics at school was Lyle, al' though he was not a typical ath' lete. He plans to study business at the University of Wisconsin Extension. William Rasmussen The University of Wisconsin Ex' tension will welcome this versatile student into the ranks of mechanics. At Riverside, Bill was much in- terested in the technicalities of radio work and in various mechanf ical devices. Gwendolyn Schaetzel Although Gwendolyn has been busy these past four years prepar' ing herself for her chosen vocation, stenography, she proved to be a good friend to many. Mabel Schimmelpfennig Mabel was not known to many students at Riverside, but to those who were acquainted with her, she was known as Sis . She plans to continue her education in the study of- beauty culture, and we know her quiet manner will be ap' preciated in that work. Acquini Schudiske A manifold variety of clubs claimed! Achy's time at Riverside includiqg Cam, Shovel, Science, G.A.A., and the Mercury, which she served as a monitor. She seems to fit right into the scheme of things. We are sorry to lose you. Rosalie Serio A short, dark girl but athletically inclined was Rose . Her activi' ties at school were few, but her en' thusiasm in gymnastics was noticed by everyone. We can imagine her to be good in tennis, because of her ability to move so rapidly. Clarence Schilling Clarence, Clary to his pals, made himself a name in athletics. Besides finding time to be a hall monitor, he went out for track and football. Perhaps it was unnecesf sary to tell of his athletic activities, since Eastsiders know everything about their championship teams anyway. Irene Sobecke Camaraderie and Camaraderie's Alice in Wonderland were the extra curricular activities of Renee . Concentration on one activity brought stirring results to Irene. William Steinhauser Science Club, Older Boys', and A'Capella Choir constitute Bill's club activities at Riverside. Quite a variety! But that was Bill-he was just different. One minute as gay as the gayest, the next as sober as the most sober, but that is what makes a politician. Jeanette Stroede Although we did not see much of Jeanette, we know she was popu' lar among her friends. Jean was a member of Camaraderie and also a Student Board monitor. As she is going to be a secretary, her effi- ciency in office work at school will help her to succeed. Gerald Treadway All of his friends, and there were many of them, called him Jerry , Jerry was one of the cleanest cut fellows at Riverside. He found much interest in athletics. Lillian Wegmmin Red devoted most of her time to G.A.A. Concentration on this work reaped her many honors in basketball, notably a place on a championship team. May she be as successful as a bookkeeper as she was in her athletic ambitions.
