Twenty-tw EARL PITMAN And it's Earl to you and to us, too. For all his dignity, he's been interested in science, track, swimming, and he has dramatic leanings. Now it's photography. He may snap YOU if you don't watch out. DOLORES POFERI. And here we have Pof , the vivid, the sparkling G.A.A., Historical Society, Surveyor staff member. What fun to know her! And maybe eventually it will be an honor, if she becomes the journalist she aspires to be. JOSEPH PRELGO Silent as the wings of darkness, Joe sits quietly by while the world carries on a conversation. Nevertheless, he has acquired some fast friends with whom he goes skating, as soon as ice appears on the ponds. GERTRIIDE REED Smiling Gertie is one of those girls who go out for athletics in a big way.--G.A.A., Archery, and W Clubs. Despite her love for athletics she is planning her career along the thorny path of business. WALTON ROEBUCK Wally --tall, dark, handsome--can harangue money from a Scotsman. His general abilities have inspired him to set business managing of the New York Sun as his goal. We've seen him as the life of the party , too. JOHN ROSSBACK Students should be seen and not heard. John is like that. Very quiet, yet ever alert and smiling, he spends most of his spare hours playing football in summer and hockey in winter. ART Ro'rII Who hasn't seen Gleck thumbing his way to McCarron's Lake to pursue his hobby, swimming? When not splashing, Gleck , as a member of our stage crew, spent many laborious hours setting up scenery for the 'dramatic department. ALYCE SCHILLA Full of vim, vigor, and vitality is Pat--Vim for Big Sister work, vigor for Glee Club, and vitality in her classes. Her hobby is singing, and someday it may be to the accompaniment of a guitar. GLADYS SCHMIDT Glad loves to sing, and is she good! She was a popular member on the program of any social function. Girl Reserves, Penguin Pals, and Science Club welcomed her membership. Dancing occupies her leisure time. MARGARET SCHNEIDER As soon as this little girl has acquired her M. D., we'll have a doctor in our mids-t. Margie has participated in Student Council, Big Sister, and Girl Reserve ac- tivities. She is an enthusiastic stamp collector. THERESA SCHNEIDER Sing. It's good for you , is Tre's motto, and singing is her solo hobby. Girl Reserves had much of her attention at Washington. For the rest, she couldn't talk much and have a lovely singing voice, too. EVA JUNE SCIIOTTLER June has that rare quality, poise, and is a truly modern girl. She is a dancing enthusiastg you have probably seen her at the Sunlites. This little girl has a big desire to travel to distant lands. JOHN SCHREIER Here is a lad who for recreation will sleep, eat, or think, as the occasion demands. What he does in his serious hours is doubtless the result of all three--building model airplanes or solving scientific puzzles. GERALDINE SCOLES Secretary in '34 and treasurer in '35, Gerry is a councilor of sound standing. She's a sweet Irish lass, whom everyone loves. Her smile may be crooked, but there's never a happier girl walks the halls. Begorrah! THOMAS SKWERES Smile, and the world smiles with you, says Tommy in his genial, joking way. But Tommy also has his serious moments--i. e., making a serious and involved motion for the betterment of the Hi-Y Club. DORIS SOLBERG Studious, friendly, an all around girl is Goldie . Her favorite activities have been Glee Club, G.A.A., and Girl Scouts. Don't tell her if you are treasuring any old coins. She won't rest until she's wheedled them away. LA RAYNE SONNICK Ray is her nickname, and we add--of sunshine. She worked in the library and was a member of German Club and Girl Reserves. In her spare time she collects stamps. She isn't telling HER secret ambition! CAROLINE STEINER She glides o'er the ice with the greatest of ease---. Well, maybe she falls once in awhile, but Honey is adept on skates. G.A.A., German Club, and Girl Re- serves occupied leisure time here in school. O

HELEN PETERSON ROBERT OLSON Honest and blunt--that's Bob at first meeting. After knowing him a while, you are happy to discover in him an actor, an artist, and one of the best football players our school has ever had. EVELYN O'N EIL This likeable little girl's ambition is to see what's what in a broadcasting studio. Far from being a bookworm, she nevertheless has made reading her hobby.

And to this verdict her friends agree. AGNES NAEVE Few people resist the warmth of Boot's dark, smiling eyes. She has been a pop- ular member of Jr.-Sr. Sisters and Student Council. Her thoughts like her chum Millie's turn toward professional dancing. Much luck to you, Boots . JOE NEUDAUER Lights! and there was Joe to turn them on. Football has made his acquaintance, but he prefers swimming. In spare time he tinkers used cars, so he'll find a job when he cries, Curtain on Washington days. LOUIS NICHOLSON A confused impression of noise, motion, and beaming good will and Nick appears in a given spot.

I LEA STEINI-IAUSER When we've forgotten many things about Lea, we'll remember her as the library girl. Reference work was always easier for her cheerful aid. Outside library walls, we've enjoyed her ready laugh, her general sense of humor. BERNARD STEGBAUER Who designed that beautiful home? Why, Bernard Stegbauer, the great archi- tect . This conversation may take place some years from now. Bernard belongs to the Architects' Club, likes to draw house plans, and wants to go to work. VIRGINIA STEVENS We've always thought Virge lovable and dependable, and. we liked her voice. Is it something on her left hand that has added gravity to her of late? Glee Club, Jr.-Sr. Sisters, and Science Club enlisted her interest. HOWARD STREICII Strike --tree or bump, that's Howard. His hobby is driving a carg his passengers, recalling the drive with shaking knees and pumping hearts, thank their stars that as a professional racer, he'll have to drive alone. EILEEN SULLIVAN If dreams come true, we may some day see Sully's name heading her own com- mentator column. She likes to sing, has proved that she really can, as a Glee Clubber. From G.A.A. she bore off a W. JOHN TI-IELL Nothing is too difficult for John. He tackles the hardest subjects on the curricu- lum and likes it. The All School Council has benefited much by his membership. His reserve has kept him many friends. LENORE VAN DEEN Allow us to introduce the attractive little widow of The Trysting Place . Before that appearance we knew her as an active participant in the doings of G.A.A., W club, Jr.-Sr. Sisters, and Student Council, And she swims. MARGARET WALDERA Marge's ability to sketch has served our class in good stead whenever posters or drawings to advertise our activities were needed. As a member of the art staff of this annual, she has contributed much. , MARIE WELSCI-I Shades of Paderewski! Here we have Rec , famed for her skill in tickling the ivories , and for being a grand person. She'd like much to become a professional piano player, with her ability and personality she SHOULD. J OSEPHINE WILHELM Skating has a charm for Jo, and she's a lot of fun, as you've probably discover- ed. This Girl Reserve also boasts a membership in the G.A.A. Any typing for the industrious person? She's hanging out a shingle. J ESSIE WILLIAMSON It's fun to be fooled--but it's more fun to KNOW Pollie. Her quips and quirks, when she's in form, provide a running entertainment. Surprisingly, she is also ' athletic, being a G.A.A. and Girls' W Club member. EDWIN WINTER To be another Fred Astaire is Eddie's ambition. As a Thespian, he has been learning many of the star's famous acts. He spends much of his spare time play- ing golf and tennis and flirting with school belles. GEORGE WOLDT Smiling, big-hearted George as a junior helped a lot in making the prom a grand success. Mastering the accordian is his ambition, from the enjoyable selections we have heard we're sure he will do just that. RICHARD WoLszoN Richard spends most of his time being a good student. Quite unusual, but most commendable. Richard, however, is an unusual boy, anyway, being that rare species of person which speaks mainly when spoken to, and then softly. EILEEN ZASPEL Eileen is a blonde sprite, much interested in G.A.A. She likes dancing, has been a regular Sunlite patron. Don't be surprised to fall over her baggage in some foreign port. The travel bug has bitten her, too. LEO ZINIEL 1 Leo is a baseball ace in summer, a hockey star in winter. From these statistics, we gather that his time is usually spent in some form of athletics. In 1945 he will probably be Babe Ruth's successor. HELEN ZOCI-IER A newcomer last fa-ll, in no time at all Helen became active in Girls' Glee Club and Orchestra. Her nickname, Dixie, tells you where she's from. A collector of poems, she wants to write a book. EDNA ZWEBER Small voiced, sweet of disposition, Eddie unobtrusively goes her way. At various times she has been a member of Girl Reserves, Glee Club, and German Club. Her dearest wish is to be a nurse and medical stenographer.
