l THE MEIQCUIQ Virginia Amerell Amerell , as she is called by her numerous friends, was one of those charming lovable girls whom we all learned to admire immensely. Camaraderie and G.A.A. claimed her active mem' bership, and when she leaves Riverside she is going to make someone a capable secretary. Robert Archer All, including teachers, will agree that Arch captured the prize for his pranks and devasf tating humor. He had many activities besides having gained much recognition for his ability in football, track, tennis and basketball. Southern California awaits an outstanding athlete. Esther Catherine Ball Esther's ability as a musician and as a librarian makes her future uncertain, but she plans to enter Mount Mary College, regardless of her decision. Esther's scholastic standing, her club activities, and her work in the library has made her quite popular in Riverside. Jean Ball It was a real pleasure to know Jean. She had a very pleasant personality and was wellfliked by all those who knew her. She was an ideal type of a girl, par' ticipating in many activities and giving much of her energy for outdoor sports such as tennis, swimming, and skating. August Baranek Here is a banker who yearns to be an aviator. Gus , who was the school banker Qand by the way, a very efficient onel, was also active in sports: track and tennis attracting the most of his attention. Doesn't that healthy tan tell you that Gus prized sports more precious than anything else? Mary Lou Barker Charming Mary Lou! Though new to the school, she has made herself known and loved. Her pleasant smile, sweet manner, and ready wit were an asset to the numerous things she under- took. We know she's just the type for a delightful, social worker. You'll be missed, Mary Lou. Bernice Baumann Bunny, whose pleasant smile is not easily forgotten, knew how to keep in trim. She was one of the most ardent followers of G.A.A. since she played base' ball, basketball, volleyball, and tennis. Bunny learned about debating in Orient and had many good times in Cam and Allen. Lawrence Bauschek, jr. Laurie was an allfaround fellow. From sports which de' mand physical prowess such as tennis and track to those which demanded mental capacity such as Science Club, Laurie was in the front ranks with such a well rounded personality, we know he will succeed. Charles Benson Chuck's talents were diver' silied. They ran the range from athletics to dramatics. Chuck was a wellfknown figure on the track and cross-country teams and as a member of Rockne Hi' Y. He served the Student Board and' was active in Cue Club. We re expecting big things gf you, Chuck . Dorothy Berg Such a face as drifts through dreams, describes the starry- eyed maiden, Dorothy. Dot's waslnot a dream but a charming reality. In her school career Dorothy was a Student Board monitor and a member of many of the clubs including G.A.A. and German Club. George Berg George came here from Tech last year, and he had little diliiif culty in making new friends, His desire to be an entomologist 15 not surprising since he has become quite skillful as an ama' teur taxidermist and butterfly collector. He belonged to Cue Club and appeared in Hamlet . Robert Berg Besides being valedictorian of his class, Bob was either presi' dent or a very active member in nearly every club of the school. He was a member of the Stu' dent Athletic Council, contestant in the Intersociety Debate, and News Editor of the Merc . He will attend the University of Wisconsin. Pagz' Tfwmty-om'

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.

THE MEIQCUIQY l Wymmi Bergner Doc with his dissecting frogs in tainly seems to be right path for his time at East was tween Orient, the aptitude for biology cerf treading the career. His divided be- band, HifY, and the Older Boys' Organizaf tion. You have a good start, Doc g keep up the pace at Marquette. Mary Berry It would be impossible in this small space to list all the activif ties in which Mary participated. She can be remembered for tal- ent in dramatics, her supreme ability in athletics, serving as president of G.A.A. and secref tary of Student Athletic Council, and her good work as poetry editor of the Mercury. Joe Berry Who in Riverside does not know Joe, our 1933 prom king, most sought after young man! His dramatic ventures include the lead in Seven Keys to Baldpaten, the Romantic Duke in Twelfth Night , and the amusing Rasputin of Minstrel Show fame. Cue will miss its president, Joe. Rowland Bird Rowland hails from the far, far West and intends to return there, as he plans to attend Pasadena College. During his time here, he took an interest in football and Science Club, al' though he wishes to be a jour' nalist. It is too bad we have not had more of his writings. Bemice Birenbaum Bernie , a cheerful and in' telligent member of the senior class, participated in Camaradf erie, Shovel, G.A.A., Household Arts, and Allen Clubs. She also served on the Student Board and the championship volleyball team. Bernice plans to continue her studies at Spencerian College. Eleanore Blasczyk Eleanore was one person whom anyone could and did admire. Her personality made her that way. Volleyball at G.A.A., Camaraderie, and Household Arts Club claimed the little leisf ure time she had. We feel sure any employer will profit having Eleanore as a stenographer. Page Tfwcnly-ffwo Jane Frances Bloomer Jane Frances, whose ambition is to become a school teacher, plans to study for her vocation at the Milwaukee State Teach' er's College. While at River' side, she was a member of Cue Club, Camaraderie and Allen Club, and was one of the girls who took care of the infirmary. We wish her good luck. Jeanette Botsch Yes, you probably know Jeanette. She was one of the office girls, and though you may not know her bv name, you associate her with a friendly smile. From stenography, Jean' ette's interests range to House' hold Arts. We must say that is a broad expanse of interests. - - Rogers Blaisdell A big broad grin and a ready pun, that was Wassy . When he wasn't making mischief, he was doing something really worth while, such as acting as Merc Monitor and belonging to the Older Boys' Organization, Shovel, and Radio Clubs. Mar' quette University will be his future school. James Bowler Jimmy's boyish grin and cheerful personality made our troubles seem to vanish. His activities at Riverside were Shovel Club, Older Boys' Or' ganization, and in the line of sports he was active in football, tennis, and swimming. Car- negie is Jim's goal. ' Chester Bouton In Riverside, Chester's inter' ests were divided between de- bating and musical activities. He was the vice-president of Orient and was alternate in the intersociety debate. We feel that Chester must have bene- fitted by this extra work because he put so much into it. Janet Louise Bretz The JuniorfSenior Play typed Jannie as a vamp. Her im' petuosity and vivacious person' ality were the keynotes to her style. Her ability was not lim' ited to merely acting, but she was a literary light in Caduceus. She has contributed scintillating essays to the Merc.
