0' JOHN WIENER Dink is probably the best allfaround athlete in the graduating class, winning three basketball letters, polefvaulting on the track squad, grabbing three more letters playing in the line on the football squad, and captaining the varsity basketball team in his Senior year. Dink is also something of a social lion 'round town in his off moments. A great lad, the Dink, and by necessity as well as choice M. U. S. will keep a big space in its heart for him.

The vocation that gets him in later life will have acquired an individual whose determination to do well is outstanding.

Good luck at Wisconsin, John! Entered '28: Lightweight Football 2, 3, Track Mgr. 5, 6, Varsity Football 4, 6, Swimming 5, 6, Minstrel Show 3, 4, 5. College: Wisconsin. ROBERT ZWICKY Now Bob, that's a radical statement. Many times during the past year have the halls of M. U. S. echoed this sentence. Directed at Bob Zwicky, this remark merely gibes him about his boundless interest in school and social problems which invariably leads him to welcome an argument. In spite of his size, Bob has made himself known in both the school and the city as one of the best breastfstroke swimmers around these hy'ar parts. Bob's rugged individualism and his likeable person' ality have marked him as a distinct character and one whom the school is sure to miss. f Entered '24, Swimming Team 4, 5, 6, Lightweight Football 4, Track 4, Senior U Club 5, 63 Rae F, Bell Swimming Trophy 6, Minstrel Show 4, 5, Class Treasurer 5, German Club 4.

MARY SEECER Mary is a living example of the fact that it is possible to find charm and keen intellectual powers in the same girl. Besides having an extremely enviable record in her studies, she has established a reputation as being a real smoothy, with a rare sense of humor. Consequently, she has been welcomed into a large variety of the school's activities and has led in its social life. Mary has made for herself a large circle of friends, and our loss at parting with her will certainly be Vassar's gain. Entered '29: Cirl's Club 3, 4. 5, 6.

RICHARD WESTERMAN 'lWesty, the lad with the mathematical mind, attacks a physics or trig problem with the same good old gusto which he displays in foot' ball and basketball. It is his ability to take a problem and reason it straight through to a logical conclusion which makes him one of the main props beneath the Senior math and physics classes. This same sound reasoning, plus a boundless enthusiasm for every undertaking, has gotten Dick a long way in school and has made many friends for him. A boy with Dicks character and personality can't miss making a great success in all of his endeavors.

SENIGI2 CLASS I-IISTCDRV As the class of 1936 step off the platform, diplomas in hand, they are viewed with pride by the older members of the faculty who well remember when some of the same Seniors began their M.U.S. careers thirteen short years ago. There are but two charter members graduating in the Class of 1936. In the frescoed kindergarten of the old school, Audrey Russert and Philip Orth gazed widefeyed at Tante Anna as she aided them in their start along the road of education. In second grade the class, taught by Miss Mueller, welcomed jimmy Klode to their midst. 'The incoming members of the class have never been the same since. Bob Zwicky paid the halls and classes of the old school a short visit during third grade, leaving, only to return to the fold as a Freshman. As the everfincreasing band wended its way toward that inevitable june 10, 1936, they were joined in the fourth grade by Bob Dernehl. Even in this early stage in the game it is reported that Bobby acquired his ability for subduing teachers, and he is said to have had Miss Schmidt well in hand. Five members of our graduating class commenced their happy days at M.U.S. in Miss Sidler's beloved fifth grade. Bobby Safir, Alex Luedicke, Jack Wiener, and John Zwicky tackled the increasingly diflicult assignf ments side by side with the older M.U.S.fites, and little Mary Seeger literally skipped into our group, adding her wit and charm to the schools social register. With high school looming just ahead, the class concentrated on both studies and extrafcurricular activities and experienced a banner year. In 'tHigh 1 the class got their first taste of longer assignments and nightly homework. They began, in their first year of high school, to snatch either the progress or the scholarship banners repeatedly, and in the competition for said banners they learned the sound study habits which have followed them through high school. The everfincreasing ranks of the class were augmented in eighth grade by the advent of Doris Roethke and Idalynn Kohn. Both of these girls gave notice of future eminence by the way in which they so easily adjusted themselves to their new surroundings. The first year of the classls high school education marked the entrance of a great many of the present Seniors who hold high offices in the school body. Walter Isgrig rates high with all of his fellow classmates, who are forced to admit that without his help there would have been no Academy. Then we have our demure Mary Virginia Foster who this year lends her charm and ability to the Student Council. Bitsy Jones, another one of those who entered as a Freshman, is known for her work in dramatics. Dick Westerman is also one of those more active Seniors. Will we ever forget the time he conducted Mr. Leker's classes? Last but not least we have Norman Rohn, who has made quite a name for himself on the swimming team. The Sophomore year is memorable in our minds in that it brought Jane Sellmer and Monroe McLaughlin into our ranks. The Seniors will vouch for Jane's typing ability, which aided them in their work on the Academy and on their annual. As for Monroe, we are all used to seeing his chubby figure kicking its way to a first in our swimming meets. Tom Corrigan and Gardie Roberts felt the need for a better education in the third year of their high school careers and for that reason joined our Junior class. Maggie Hanauer also arrived in her Junior year and busied herself with Academy affairs. Scottie Fraser entered the school in her Senior year, soon endearing herself to the hearts of all by her lively, vivacious nature. These are those very same Sixth Formers who have been basking in Senioral glory all year and now depart from our ranks, leaving a wide gap to be filled by the present juniors-And the juniors, we Seniors feel assured, will take our places admirably.
