SENIORS JOE BOEGLIN Who is this? Why, it’s Joe Boeglin, one of the friendliest boys in school. Since he spends most of his time at a typewriter or at a bookkeeping project, it seems that he is destined for the business world. He intends to enter Indiana University next fall. VIRLEE BEGLE Virlee attracts the attention of all by her smiling dimples. Popularity seems to be her outstanding achievement. She was chosen as an attendant to the basketball queen and as Ferdinand High’s nominee for the queenship at the Home Show held at Jasper. She is undecided as to her future. JAMES BOLTE Give Jim a cornet and he’s gone. The rigid check he keeps on himself will help in later life. Garage work has been a valuable source of experience and income for him. Jim has his own orchestra and is, it seems, already on the road to success. PEGGY BETTAG Peggy is one of our “onlies” from Mariah Hill, as she and the Wirthwein twins are the first girl graduates from Mary, Help of Christians Parish. Her jolly and congenial disposition has made her well liked by the students. According to her present plans, she will enter business college next year.

SENIORS ROBERT AUFFART Bob is a good-looking boy who seems to love mischief. He likes to get into a tough game and make it tougher. His main interests lie in agriculture and hunting. He plans to go into farming after graduation. ESTHER BEGLE Having devoted much time to study, Esther has always excelled as a student. She held the honored position of class president in her Freshman year, and was chosen for the same post as a Senior. With her abilities she will always make a fine leading citizen. TOM BACKER Don’t let the size of this fellow fool you. Though small in proportion, he is blessed with much talent and intelligence. Tom has been one of Mr. LaGrange’s prize math students. He plans to attend college and is sure to be a success in what- ever he ventures. The one making all the noise when the band was playing was none other than Rosie on the drums, though we all agree that she was quite apt at her job. She also proved her likeabliness among the students by the fact that she was one of the senior favorites in basketball crowning ceremonies. Teasing is her specialty; her victim is anyone close by, faculty members not excluded. ROSE ANN BECHER

SENIORS WILFRED BRINKMAN Wilfred was a star player on the4 4Soup Bowl League” Champion team. Basketball seems to be his favorite pastime because he’s always playing it. His favorite classes are Shop and Agri- culture. Wilfred plans to leave for the army soon after graduation. ALBERT DILGER Small but mighty describes Albert to a “T.” He has always been known for his fun-loving nature and his class spirit. It looks as though he too will go into farming as he likes anything that involves agriculture. REBECCA DOUGLAS Becky has always been an outstanding student. As a Junior she won the 44Our American Heritage essay contest sponsored by the American Legion. Top honors were hers again in her Senior year when she was awarded the Betty Crocker Home- maker Pin. She daily greeted the students this past year in her role as cafeteria cashier. DENNIS DURCHOLZ Dennis, an all-around sportsman, will go down as one of Ferdinand’s Basketball Greats, as he broke three and set three individual scoring records this season. Known as “Turkey, he is a quiet, pleasant fellow who seems to enjoy farming as much as any sport.
