l THE MEIQCUIQY l Howard Eder Howie will be remembered for his remarkable debating ability. He was president oi Orient and took part in the Intersociety Debate. He was a member of the Science and Shovel Clubs, and the Older Boys' Organization. The Merc Monthly and Annual claimed some of his time as well. Lucille Eder We were not fortunate enough to have Lucille with us during all four years of high school, for part of the time she attended Messmer. Lucy was vitally inf terested in sports, such as bas' ketball, soccer, and baseball, while she attended Riverside. Her ambition is to be a secref tary. Gerald Erdman jerry was well liked among Riversiders, but it seems too bad that outside activities neces' sarily kept him from participat- ing in the extra curricular work of the school life. Regardless of this, Jerry found time to play in the Junior orchestra. Alice Faber Alice was captain of a base' ball team in G.A.A. Perhaps her athletics have helped her to attain the grace so necessary in dancing, for Alice hopes to be a dancer some day. She also belonged to Shovel, Camaradf erie, and Orient. As an art student she belonged to Art Club. Thomas Farley Tom will soon enter Mar- quette to study medicine. He was in plays at Cue, Shovel, and an End Man in the Minstrel Show. We know that he, who was so competent in black, will just as skillfully carry out the role of the man in white. His intoxicating humor will make ether unnecessary. Norma Fedders Norma, a busy little person, has crowded much into her four short years at Riverside. Norma was one of the Chocolate cake walkers in the Minstrel Show. She has also made a name for herself as scribe for Allen, and as a very fine student. Science Club will long remember the service she rendered that group. Theresa Fein Theresa was that diligent literary editor who never seemed to rest. What she did for the Merc and Caduceus need not be repeated. She took the Chi' cago and A. A. U. W. scholar' ship exams. However, her aspirations are not entirely liter' ary, for Theresa is an ardent tennis player. Roger Fliege Roger was another of those businessfminded men, his ambi- tion being to enter Marquette and study to be a sales manager. His hobby is stamp collecting, but in school his interests lay toward science and the many recent discoveries of that art. John Herbert Frank The dark haired boy with the harmonizing ties is the Bing Crosby of East. john has been in any number of things: a solo' ist in the Minstrel Show and the Opercttag an eager worker for the Merc's business end. Hc was one of the many who got up early for A'Capella Choir. jean Foley Don't you know Jean? Cer' tainly you do! She was that shy and yet amiable little girl, well liked among all with whom she associated here at school. Her friendliness was further car' ried out when she joined Cam. Jean has the ambition to be a stcnographerg we wish her luck! Florence Froh Florence gave up much of her time to G.A.A. She was an excellent basketball player and was on the championship team of 1934. Flo , as she was called by her friends, which were many, was very well liked. We will miss her next year. Florence plans to enter Miss Brown's Business College. Roderick Fox Roderick was more interested in athletics than most anything else. He was a member of the track team, tennis club, and seng ior football team and also be' longed to Older Boys' Organ' ization and Shovel Club. Rod' erick was very well known and well liked. Marqllettc is to be his next destination. Page Tfw1'r1fy-ffvz'

l THE MEIQCUIQY l Lora Clafendetcher Lora did a great amount of music work both in and outside of school and found much en- joyment singing in the AllfCity High School Chorus, several Thanksgiving and Christmas programs, and the spring conf cert. Lora looks with interest toward future interior deco' rating. Robert Cole Bobby Cole, as Mercuraf chrome , was the only red' headed negro in captivity. Who can forget him in the Minstrel Show? Secretaryship of his sophomore and junior classes tell his popularity. Although it's hard to picture Bobby as a mining engineer, we know he can do it. Helen Cooke Cookie was an ideal high school pupil. She was a good scholar, was active in many clubs, and was well liked by all who knew her. In September Helen plans to enter the State Teacher's College in order to study for her career as a teach' er. We wish her loads of good luck for a successful carreer. Mary Coupe Bright, charming, vivacious Mary, captain of the senior championship basketball team, was everybodv's friend. Cam, G.A.A., and Cue will miss her next semester when she goes to State Teachers We envy the lucky children who will some day take speech under Mary. Jeanne Daly Here is a girl who was one of the outstanding members of the senior class, member of the winning Intersociety Debate team, Art Editor of Annual, member of Cue, Shovel, and Caduceus. She worked hard for A. A. U. W. exams. We hope to see Jeanne design a large skyscraper one of these days. Harriet Dobson Harriet's great ambition is to be an actress, and we believe she is well on her way there. She is a member of the Wisf consin Players and the Civic Theater Players, Inc., and she has been in several plays at school and was also a valuable library assistant and a member of Cam. Page Tfwrniy-four John Domagalski John was a regular fellow and Well liked by all with whom he came in contact. He spef cialized in commercial work, and it is in that field that he desires to enter. We know he will be as successful in Madison at the University as he has been here during his four years. John Downing Too much cannot be said of johnnie's ability as an athlete. We can't easily forget his ex' cellent playing on the champion- ship team last fall. Through his good work, he attained the high position of allfcity fullback! John also participated in track and basketball and was on the Prom Committee last year. Audrey A. Draeger- Audrey's ambition is to be an infants' nurse. NNouldn't that be the ideal work for one of her type? There is that certain quietness about her that should quiet any contrary child without much trouble. However, there is hard work in that choice, but if anyone can do it, she can. Irene Drobniewski Although unknown to many Riversiders, Daisy did not fail to leave her mark at East. She was a member of Cam and Shovel, and her greatest inter' est was centered in commercial subjects. Although East loses her, some concern will gain an excellently trained stenographer. Elladora du Bois Elladora plans to go to Law' fence College to study dramatics or journalism. As an able mem- ber of Cue she had a part in the Christmas Play and also Twelfth Night. On the other hand, Press Club and the Mercury claimed her prose and poetry. Her lovely voice has brought her honors. Elton Dummann Al was that tall boy who was so active outfoffdoors. He was on the track and C.C.C. teams, and played basketball. His tennis opponents found he swung a tennis racket expertly. Vv'e know you will be very lik' able as an engineer at Wisconsin.

Her career in them brought her high honors on the champion' ship volleyball team, but social clubs, Cam, and Shovel claimed this Titian beauty, too. Marge enters La Crosse to be a phyf sical education teacher. Alex E. Gallas There are few organizations in Riverside that Alex did not join. He belonged to Cue, Crescent, Shovel, Older Boys', and Caduceus, and was on vari' ous programs in the auditorium including the Minstrel Show and Seven Keys to Baldpaten. Al was in the forensic contest, also. Helen C. Geldon Helen is in the group with the quiet girls. She has been an active member of both Household Arts and G.A.A. volleyball teams. Although she is not planning to enter college this fall, we are sure she will make a success in whatever she does and wherever she does it. Robert G. Gehrz The Halls of Fame of River- side echo with Bob's name. Being the capable editor of the Merc Monthly and Annual, a contestant in Two Intersociety Debates, president of Orient, Science and German Clubs, and others, his leisure time was well occupied. The Harvard book is also his. William Genett Riverside has harbored an am' hitious young radio genius for the past four years, who hopes to continue in that Held at the Milwaukee School of Engineer' ing next semester. Bill was on the radio crew and acted as secretaryftreasurer of the newly formed Radio Club. Robert Genthe Everyone admired the scenery of Seven Keys to Baldpateu and we know that without Bob this scenerys would not have been possible because he was carpenter of the stage crew, an excellent one at that! Perhaps with some coaxing Bob will tell you one of his fish stories. if Page T -wmzfy-six Robert was Robert Gittelson known to the great part of the student body as Punk . To become a great politician with a dark mousf tache and to wear a checkered vest are his ambitions. Every- body knows me was his chief salutation. Minnesota will claim this star dramatist and tennis player of East. Elva Goers Elva's ambition is to be a so' cial worker, in spite of the fact that she has unusual dramatic ability. Besides belonging to Camaraderie, Elva was a secref tary of German Club, of which she was an active member. She had a part in Twelfth Night and also in the Washington program.

He did very well in the last Lincoln and Pigtail Day programs. fDidn't he make a fine Chinaman?j Mary Goloen Mary has been a active mem' ber of many clubs, Cam, Household Arts, a Student Board monitor, and a very good secre' tary of the Science Club. Those of us who know her well know how pleasant and delightful a friend she really is. She intends to attend Marquette.
