AUF WIEDERSEHEN FAREWELL TO M.lSS KLEIST You opened up a new and shining land. You pushed our close horizons far beyond The narrow, binding walls. And though we'll feel yor absence, You'll be with us still, For we shall answer when your lofty standard calls. Ruth Birhhaeuser A graduate of old Milwaukee East, Emmy Kleist returned to join the faculty of Riverside, not as a stranger, but as a scholar coming home. She was graduated from the Milwaukee Normal School and the University of Wisconsing she has studied and travelled extensively in Europe. Her courses in German and French were not mere drill sessions for grammar and vocabulary. To her pupils she brought a full, rich personality, she passed them on, with a knowledge of the language, an appreciation of culture, and an enrichment of character. Her fellow faculty members, hoping she would be with them until required to retire, are already counting the too few hours they spent in her cheery, inspiring presence. They are already looking forward to visiting with her in the years of leisure ahead and making up for moments ,lost in the busyness of the past. As the school loses, the community gains. It will now be possible for her to give more freely to the many groups who have heretofore jealously contested for her time. Retire? Not Emmy Kleist! She will be active in the community, she will be wherever teachers or pupils are gathered together, she will be in the hearts of every.- one who has ever come in contact with her. MISS PUELICHER Before graduating from grade school, most of the Riverside students made the acquaintance of Miss Puelicher, who visited the schools, gave tests, and helped arrange programs. , During their time in school the students have continued their association with Miss Puelicher in various ways. Some were called into her oiiice as freshmen to be reprimanded or encouraged as the occasion seemed to demand. Others worked hapf pily with her in the minstrel show, or in preparation for the Thanksgiving baskets or the making and remaking of toys for unfortunate ones. As senior sponsor, Miss Puelicher directed the commencement festivities. This year the honor study halls were inaugurated, and the success of this project is due in a .large measure to the work of their adviser, Miss Puelicher. As head of the English department, she has had her hands full, not only of the numerous executive details, but also in differentiating more completely between the work of the x, y, and Z sections. But in spite of her numerous interests, she was primarily a teacher. Students looked forward with eagerness to her English classes and felt rewarded for the work which they had done. 9

TO COACH HESELTON He is gone for ur, but who are we To hold him here, this 'mold In which our mightiest have been cast, When finer molten steel than ours Runs white-hot, quivering elsewhere- Waiting to, be poured, and shaped? -Dudley can-Held It is with mixed emotions that we say farewell to Coach Heselton. We are glad that he is going on to a better position, but seliishly sorry that he can't continue to make friends and football champions at East. Coach Heselton has done more than turn out six championship teams during his ten years at East. The large number of boys who have had contact with him have gained a sense of sportsmanship and friendship which will be invaluable to them. Coach Heselton is never forgotten by his boys . Year after year, they come back to see him. His oifice is usually filled with boys attracted by its atmosphere of friend' ship. A graduate of Minnesota, and pupil of Bernie Bierman, Mr. Heselton came to East in 1928. After spending a few years in installing his system, Coach Heselton started to make football history in the Milwaukee Prep school conference. East teams were distinctly different from others. During time out periods they formed a huddle and planned their strategy, while their opponents lay sprawled on the ground. Through teamwork, they accomplished what other teams couldn't do- winning six championships in ten years and establishing an all time record of 31 consecutive victorires. V The fine work of Coach Heselton, from now on, will be appreciated by Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin. Lawrence is a member of the Mid'West Conference which consists of the following colleges: Coe, Carleton, Lawrence, Cornell, Ripon, Knox, Monmouth, and Beloit. MRS. HERZOG Riverside next September will miss the gracious presence of Mrs. Herzog, who has made the stimulating atmosphere of 312 a tradition for freshmen and sophomores. With her wit and originality she has enlivened the drudgery of grammar drill and has brought back old Julius and the Princely Odysseus in a perennial freshness and vigor which have kindled in her pupils a real love for good reading. Her sense of fair play, earnestness, and high standards of achievement have won the respect of all who knew her. Throughout her stay in Riverside Mrs. Herzog has been active in Camaraderie. The Cam girls appreciate the friendly, helpful, and wholefhearted way in which she has entered into all their activities. Her genuineness, quick repartee, and charm have endeared her to pupils and teachers alike. We all shall feel the loss of a real force in our school. 10
