Cookie made up for his lack of size with spirit and fight to make letters in both football and track. MARY CRUMB: Mary is a grand person to have oround at all times. She is an ardent sports- womon which can be verified any Monday at G. R. L. She is a member of both the band and orchestra because of her abilities on the trumpet. TOM CUNNINGHAM: It will require two men next fall to fill the gap in the football line made by Tom's graduation. Thanks to Tom, River was represented at the Kumquat Bowl for the frist time. Also he has a great faculty for making friends. FRED DAEDLOW: Another bowling enthusiast, Fritz does not confine his talents to this sport only, as he is also a baseball and basketball star and a monitor chairman aside from being one of A. J.'s chemistry proteges. RALPH DEITRICK: Ralph seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his father as a civil engineer tor he's tops in chemistry and mathematics. Ralph is sincere in everything he does and is a real friend once you get to know him. PAUL DILLON: P. D. or Dilly is a loyal lyaku member, not only because he is vice president but for several other reasons. He is quiet and reserved in school, but when with his friends he displays a welcome sense' of humor. RAY DOAN: Tall, and always wearing c happy-go lucky smile. Ray is one of our motor- minded men of the senior class. Give him a car to dissect and he's perefectly happy. JOAN DRUMPELMANN: She's a coy blond with a perpetual grin and a liking for knitting, people, and Dixon. To see her you'd never connect her with four years of math or the career of a statistician, but that's where her interest lies. MAYNARD ELLIOTT: A hearty laugh, and we do mean hearty, tells us Maynard is nor for away. You can always count on him to liven up a party or to settle on argument about history or chemistry. JERRY FLYNN: Jerry is probably the only senior boy who wears a suit coat during school hours and because of this distinction he is sometimes called a walking Equire ad. Jerry is also one of the few camera fiends in the senior class. ADELE GABRIEL: Tall, blonde, and beautiful, Adele has a pair of the most serious big blue eyei in our school. Poise must be her middle name but don't let her fool you-she's rea y fun. TOM GAETANO: Time and time again Tom is the fellow Mr. Evien picks on in history. His answer is always a grin and a blank look. Tom is interested in almost anything, butl at present, baseball occupies a lot of his time. WALTER GAGE: Walter's the boy famous for the short carpet-like hair cuts. Time and again he is having it gently patted by some fascinated girl. He is also the joy of Mr. Bridenbaugh's heart for who else would sit and listen to him without asking any ques- tions. HARRY GERSTENBERGER: Harry and his tan Chevrolet can be seen whizzing through River streets at almost any time after 3:34 and, though when riding with him you may feel your life is in danger, we have it on good authority that he knows what he's doing. MARY GlLMORE: There seems to be no end to Mary's talents, She is tall, slim, and gra- cious with personality plus and a sparkling wit. Her poise and willingness to enter into the spirit of things are two of her outstanding qualities. THURMAN GORE: Thurman is another one of those quiet fellows and few people realize , just how much he does for Ole River. He was one of the outstanding students in the war program at school. His hobby is model airplanes. DICK GOURLEY: Dick loves an argument even more than painting or drawing, and you can talk yourself blue in the face without changing his mind. If Dick continues his art work, Petty will have something to worry about. ' BILL GRAHAM: Bill is a bit reserved but when you get to know him you discover that he has a.humar of his own. Lakewood's loss was River's gain when Bill came to our school, and since then, he has proved himself an asset to the class. LES GRIMES: Long and lanky, tall and thin, you'll find lots of fun within. Les showed up so well in basketball that everyone regrets that he waited until his last year o come out. He is an ardent tennis fan and is one of our coming stars in this sport. BOB GRISWOLD: Bob is our valedictorian and although o mental giant and a math genius, there's always a laugh on his lips. He's quite a camera fiend and spends much of his time looking for suitable subjects. . i942 fr' 1 X' . .ig Z1 ff fs. X I l X

We Nw: '-1 '9l :, '35 5 . . . i.a '. SElllllllS SHIRLEY GROSSE: Gro . has much vitality for a person her size, but then they say dyna- mite comes in small packages. She loves to cut a rug and have fun, and her congenial nature and genuine interest in people makes them interested in her. BILL GUYOT: You say he's tall, dark, and curly-headed. Who else could it be but Billy. His shy grin and blush perhaps don't typify a great tennis player, but the boy can really play a mean game. RUTH E. HAHN: Ruth plans on a stenographic career, but if her affairs remain status quo her husband will be the one to take dctation. Her jolly personality is responsible for her many friends and she is always the center of an admiring group. DORIS HANFLER: Though quiet and unassuming in school, Doris is known for her loyal sincere friendship. She entered River quietly in her sophomore year and has made a place for herself in the midst of the senior class. DAVID HARRIS: Dave is one of those things which are taking Latin IV and he is still going strong. A subtle humor and o wonderful backhand in tennis show Dove up as the real fellow he is. CHRIS HERTZ: Although this chubby, black-haired senior was with us only one semester, we grew to know him as o true rriend. He was vice president of the Handicraft club, and his jolly laughter helped pep up many a meeting. JEANETTE HORTON: lf you are looking for someone to take a responsibility and carry through, there is no better personu than Jeanette. It is pretty certain a secret could be kept by this quiet senior. JEANETTE HOOPER: Jeanette always has a smile ready to greet you. Behind that smile there is o mind that thinks and isn't afraid to say what it thinks. She has a very definite ideas on everything. NAOMI IRWIN: Serene and serious-minded, Naomi has made many friends in her own ini- mitable way. ln spite of her happy days at River, Naomi answered the call of the business world and left at the mid year. All the seniors regret her leaving and miss her very much. MARILYN JONES: lf you're looking for a friendly smile just look up Marilyn. She is quiet, but they say that it is the quiet person who really gets things done. Marilyn is no exception to this rule. DOROTHY JONES: Jonesy or Dotty can well be classed as one of the most enter- taining of the senior girls. She amuses everyone with her baby talk and laughable ways. Dorothy has o serious side too which enables her to make good grades and good friends. She is also one of our utstanding dramatists. JEAN KAZDA: An amusing sense of humor-iust ask her friends-is hidden by Jean's shy manner with strangers. Her unusual skill in English composition and vocabulary is well known in all of her classes. GEORGE KAZDA: Generosity and thoughtfulness are two of George's best qualities. He is an ardent sports fan and when he is not working he is very likely to be found in one of the local bowling alleys. BOB KELLY: Kelly is always the first to get a date when some new girl appears an the horizon. This breezy wolf in sheep's clothing has a line that could tie any gal in knots. He usually has a wide grin stretched across his face. WILLIAM KINZER: Every now and then Bill astounds you with some witty crack that takes a while to penetrate your dull mind. Bill's sharpmindedeness has made him an out- standing student in math and chemistry. DICK KOSTER: One of a long line of Kosters, we expect Dick to follow close on the heels ot' Al as a Case man. His sense of humor, which seems hereditary, has been one of his main assets, and for o rousing evening of fun you know whom to loin--Dick! ED LADD: Eddie is one of our most popular senior boys. He is not only the possessor of talent for public speaking, debate and dramatics, but also sings tenor well enough to rate the lead in the operetta. He is well-versed on politics and the world situation and favors Britain all around. JOHN LANGENHAN: Editor Johnny as he is still called has proven his worth as a leader in River by being editor of Hi-Tide and president of Hi-Y. His grand sense of humor is apprecicnred by everyone and all his friends hope he will succeed in his ambition to grow ta . PAT LAPE: Patty loves cakes, up-hair-do's, slumber parties, and' driving. Generous, pepy and eager for fun, she has loads of friends to her credit although she has been at River on y a year. CHARLES LEVET: Chuck hides beneath a gruff exterior, a sentimental heart. He enioys athletics and excels in baseball. Chuck would blush if you asked him about a certain girl and then deny that he ever had a date in his life, but we know, don't we? l942Q ft s X
