 SENIORS DAN HAUSER The tallest boy in school with probably the broadest grin is “Big Dan. He is one of the “biggest reasons for our basket- ball team’s great success. His basketball-playing ability has excited the interest of several colleges, which, in turn, have offered him scholarships. Dan, however, is still undecided as to his plans for the coming year. IMELDA HEDINGER Imelda is the girl who loves a friendly argument but, never- theless, has an art for getting along with others. She has already taken the examination for entering nurses training at St. Mary’s Hospital, Evansville; hence, there is no question as to her future plans. Her personality is such that she is well qualified for this calling BARBARA HELMING Barbara is the capable, ever-ready editor of the 57 Crusader. In the commercial field she has attained certificates of highest merit in typing and has also kept an excellent record in her bookkeeping class. There is no doubt as to her success for she is determined and full of zeal. LEE ROY HOFFMAN Lee Roy is an excellent Math student, having been the only one of the class who took solid Geometry. A friend of every- one, he is quite witty and has a grand sense of humor. At times he is a bit mischievous, but having good clean fun is his favorite pastime.

DAVID GREENWELL Although David just moved to Ferdinand this year from Chrisney, he is one of the most popular members of the class, especially among the girls. One of Mr. Steiner’s prize agriculture and shop students, David plans to go into farming after graduation. BONNIE FISCHER SENIORS Five foot two, eyes of blue is not entirely correct in Bonnie’s case for she is a mere five foot one. Though she finds herself to be the shortest member of the class, she manages to sur- pass her classmates in other respects. She is a “mirror of courtesy,” a lover of music and seems to have every popular song at her fingertips. KENNETH FISCHER Kenny is the boy who always has an answer to any question or statement not pertaining to school work. He was only a half- day student during his Senior year while spending the rest of the day working at home. Most probably the Army will claim him soon after graduation, or perhaps it would be better to say that he will claim the Army. Patty was elected Christmas Queen. This and her ready smile explain her popularity. She is a trombone player and a valuable band member. By entering nurse’s training, she intends to dedicate herself to the service of others.

GERALD HOLTZMAN SENIORS An earnest worker and a silent gentleman is Gerry. His future may well lie in the business field as he takes a great interest in bookkeeping. He is an ardent naturelover, likes hunting and has participated in many forestry and wildlife projects in the 4H. LEONA KITTEN Leona entered upon her Senior year with someone missing in her life. That someone was her twin brother Leander, who preferred the Navy to school life. However, she didn’t let his absence dull her spirits, for her smile and happy laughter are always seen and heard. A whizz at shorthand, she is certain to get the secretarial job for which she is looking. KENNETH JACOB Kenny is quite an astounding fellow. The customized ’48 Chevy he drives to school even’ day has a pair of foot-long tail pipe extentions and pep aplenty. Kenny has a good time in school and out. Being a future agriculturalist is his ambition. Nancy joined our class in her Junior year and with her friend- liness and pleasant personality was soon one of us. She especially enjoys being in the company of the twins, Rosa Lee and Vera Lee. As for studies, her typing class, with its 10- minute timings, is her worst headache--the reason--her type- writer is the old-fashioned type that makes SO many mistakes. NANCY KEMPF
