BERNARD MEIRING Some Latin scholars imitate Virgil, others prefer Cicero, still others appreciate Caesar, but “Benny” just says, “De gustibus,” and keeps right on using his own brand of Latin, as fi ' ee as the birds of spring. Do not think, however, that our squeaky little Latin scholar is a sedate, reserved, punctilious young man. His most affectionate means of showing friendship is to sneak up behind you, muss up your hair, and then carry on conversation as though nothing had happened. And whoever wrote that proverb about a friend in need being a friend indeed must have been talking about “Benny.” RICHARD MICKLEY “Shadrack” has been accused of being a bit of a Communist because of his belief in the five year plan for high school education. Aside from that, however, he is a good Christian, even somewhat of an aestheti- cian ? He can frequently be found in a “trance” of one kind or the other. An avid reader of Chesterton, “Shad” is very interested in things literary and seems to be a promising writer, provided that acrobatics do not claim too much of his attention. You should see that boy on the chinning bars. One has to be very good around him or a sermon will surely follow. The sermons are always enjoyed. HUBERT MILLER Ever the first to hail the incoming sport of the season, this energetic son of the plains of Kansas has always been the sparkplug of his class in all sports activities. But we have also learned to respect “Chief” as an exemplary student, and no one who recalls our victory in the “Baby Puma” game would deny Hubert’s superb powers as an organizer and coach. We all readily forgive “Chief” for always bor¬ rowing our clothes, because the life he has instilled into the class easily compensates for all those prac¬ tical jokes. WILLIAM MILLER In addition to all the time he spends persuing his Latin studies and his sports activities, “Willie” finds spare moments to develop his Thespian abilities in the imitation of different characters, with particular emphasis on Donald Duck. Although we had to force laughs for Willie’s jokes, we by no means had to force ourselves to help consume the contents of his packages from home, especially when they contained those delicious filled-in cookies his Mom makes so well. Willie’s famous locker row feeds will never be forgotten. HAROLD PLUTH A further proof that our class has everything is Harold Pluth—a two-gun rambler from the “Bad¬ lands”. Like the inhabitants of the Dakotas, Bad¬ lands is a happy-go-lucky fellow who lets nothing ever really disturb him. Pro ficient on the clarinet, he has given us many hours of amusement with his favorite vagabond songs. Used to the wide open spaces, “Lands” always feels cramped up when he has four wall around him. He jumps at the mention of hiking permission. We will always remember him for having enlivened many dull evenings with his merry wit and jovial personality. RONALD SCHIML The four year evolution of “Bow” has been an in¬ teresting one to watch; every year he grew longer and more slender till he looked like a fiddle bow—but that’s not the reason for his auxiliary appellation. The real reason is that he takes a special delight in fiddles. You can always count on “Bow” to back up your suggestions with his ever-ready “same here” or “me too.” A regular fellow all year ’round, Ron’s in¬ terests reach into almost every one of our activities at school, and we all find him an agreeable and com¬ plying friend. HERBERT SUTTER “Futtern” is one of the fastest men who has ever come to the campus of St. Joe. In his cross country flights over the surrounding terrain on hiking days, Herb always arrives at his destination hours ahead of the rest of the fellows. Smoking Kools and playing cards are two of his favorite pastimes. For more strenuous exercise he goes to the fieldhouse or to the pits with some of the fellows. He’s the first to arrive and the last to leave. Even though he is always on the run, he is never too busy to say “hi” to you. Page thirty-five
