MILDRED MILLS H. S. T. AVERAGE, 91.5 Reliable, incapable of anything less than loyalty; possessed of womanly poise and dignity, and as stately as most queens; unassuming, intelligent, quite worthwhile— these are some of the qualities that make Mildred Mills an honor to the honors section of this book. She is a member of the Senate, and has been its president. In oratory and debate and as a member of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, she has been active. Last year she represented the Eau Claire Teachers’ College Y. W. at the Lake Geneva Conference. She belongs to the Kodowapas and the H. H. H. Club, and is a member of the 1927 Periscope staff. This, one must admit, is a very respectable list of student activities for anyone who has also made a good scholarship record. Her majors are history and English. She lives in Eau Claire. HELEN HARTUNG GRAMMAR GRADES AVERAGE, 91.3 It seems that High School Teachers’ Course students would have made a grand slam’’ had Helen Hartung decided to cast her lot with any other school. But she didn’t. She is a very unassuming young woman, and has not spent a great deal of time in the limelight, while here. Apparently her chief aim has been to stand well scholastically at graduation time. She will. Helen might have shone in student activities, but she chose to indentify herself with only the Newman Club. Her friends are many. She seems to impress favorably everyone who comes in contact with her. She is the kind of student that makes teaching a pleasure. One of her friends said of her, Helen Hartung is reserved but congenial, modest but forceful, intellectual but good looking.” Her home is Arkansaw. Page Eleven

DOLORAS EVANS H. S. T. AVERAGE, 93.5 Doloras is one of the gifted Evans sisters, who have won their way to the top rungs of the Eau Claire Teachers’ College scholarship ladder. They achieved similar fame in high school, where their names are still a tradition that inspires talented and ambitious girls to achieve scholastic success. She is as dependable as a chronometer and as accurate as a jeweler’s scales. She knows things with exactness, and possesses, in well-classified order, a very respectable body of mathematical and historical lore. Her knowledge of literature is considerable; yet, with all her brains, she persistently hides her light under a bushel. She is a member of the Student Council and the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Doloras’ major is history; her minor, mathematics. Eleva is her home address. SYLVIA EVANS H. S. T. AVERAGE, 93.1 Sylvia is the other Evans sister. If there are any more equally capable Evans sisters, don’t permit them to be wasted on River Falls or Stevens Point or Superior. Let them shine here! Now Sylvia has a fine intellect, unlimited enthusiasm, good common sense, and refreshing originality. She has written some meritorious verse. Her capacity for work is astonishing; for not only does she have a reputation for scholarship but also a record for student activities. She has been a member of the Y. V. C. A. Cabinet, belongs to Kodowapa, the Girls’ Glee Club, and the H. H. H., has been President of the Juniors and is now Treasurer of the Seniors. As Circulation Manager of this year’s Spectator she has made a notable success. Sylvia has two majors, history and English; and a minor, social science. Pdgc Ten

LILA REDMOND H. S. T. AVERAGE, 89.8 Her voice is gentle and low; her manner, womanly and serene. Wherever she goes to teach, her pupils will love and respect her. She will live a useful life, for she will make many better and happier. The pleasant things just said of Lila Redmond may seem somewhat rhapsodic, and part is only prophecy; but the statement of what she is now is not exaggerated, and how the future will be may be known, in part, by what the present is. Her student activities have been confined to two organizations, the Kodowapas and the Y. W. C. A., both of which are comfortably proud of her; for she embodies pleasing calm and quiet intelligence, qualities that charm but do not excite. Lila has two majors, English and history; and a minor, social science. She lives in Eau Claire. VERNON GONGOLL H. S. T. AVERAGE, 89.7 Wherever Vernon Gongoll goes, he will, we think, help to refute the prevalent belief that college athletes, although frequently marvelous physical specimens, know little more than how to coordinate mind and muscles. He has a highly developed thought center. Ask him about the fourth dimension or the theory of relativity, and he will make a hundred-yard run for an intellectual touchdown. He understands ions and their whys and wherefores; he makes calculus his recreation. Vernon is versatile enough to be a member of the Glee Club, and popular enough to have been elected to the Student Council. He is also a member of the Crusaders, the Letter Club, and the R. S. W. C., and has played two years on the football and the basketball teams. Science is his major; mathematics, his minor. His home town is Altoona. Page Twelve
