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.

JUNIORS Schaffer, Stolz, Johnston, Stuebe, Howell Krcmcrs, W. Thompson, MacBriar, Gutcnkunst, Steinman, Van Antwerpcn. Dale, Reed Hambach, Newald, Burd, Uihlein, Stratton. Nicholson, Mr. Strow Schlcy, Boltz. Froede, Vvlebb, Hubbard, Eastman, Lecher JUNIGR CLASS This year's junior class will have many pleasant memories to fill their minds when they look over the past months. Always known as the most congenial class and regarded as dependable in all activities, the Juniors are to be counted on to keep up that high standard next year. The class looks forward to its final year at M. U. S. with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy. They feel sorrow at the prospect of but one more year in their beloved Alma Mater and joy at the active past and the bright future which they can survey. Their scholastic standing has been commendable although they never quite reached the topg however, they did their utmost to gain scholastic recognition. lf the Juniors did not rank first in scholarship, they did in their share in contributions to the Community and Thanksgiving funds in both of which they led the entire school. The enthusiastic way in which the class entered into dramatics, athletics, and other outside activities is illustrated by the immense success of the junior Prom, which was staged under the careful and kindly guidance of Mr. Strow, and in the number of juniors who took part in the Minstrel Show. Mr. Brooks' dramatic prof ductions, too, have featured many ,luniors in leading roles. In memory of Rudyard Kipling members of the class gave a short program in the assembly, The Junior issues of the Academy have also shown the originality of the class. ln athletics both the girls and the boys have been well represented. In football, basketball, swimming, track, and in the intrafmurals Juniors could be found taking an active part. All things considered, this year's junior class bids fair to develop into one of the finest groups ever to take over the responsibility of being Seniors and carry the heavy responsibility of acting as leaders in the varied school life. 26
