L • The KIPIKAWI PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF WASHINGTON PARK HIGH SCHOOL VOLUME IV JUNE, 1933 RACINE, WISCONSIN « DEDICATION TO those hardy seamen who have voyaged until now so inseparably with Racine High School students, we, the Kipikawi staff, dedicate this 1933 log of the Good Ship Washington Park High School. Captain W. C. Giese, since his tenth voyage in command of the Good Ship Racine High, has (after it was demolished) carried on through four even more successful voyages on this newer and larger vessel. His stable character and kindly personality have been re- flected in the attitude of the crew toward work and play. Extra-curricular as well as classroom activities have always had his whole-hearted support. News of his departure next year from Park naturally arouses poignant regret in the hearts of officers, crew, and passen- gers, but all are glad to anticipate for him the high success he will surely attain as Admiral of the Racine School Fleet. DURING his 32 trips (17 as second in command) on the old vessel. First Mate A. J. Wilbor stood Staunch .it his post. No less have his services been relied upon during the annual voyages of Washington P.uk. To him fell the long task of charting voyages; and while the good ship and others had shore leave, he perused many a map to insure smooth progress for those who were about to embark. Those who feared the high winds, those whose sea legs were unstable, those who by nature found the sea 61 i edge none too easy to cross could find in him a i instant ex- ample of steads ' purpose, I jusl sympathy, of untiring ser vice. Thus it is the wish ol those who dedie.it ■ this log to him a- well as to Mr. Giese that he may ever find within himself that quiet recompense which outweighs outward sb ' fame; and now as always it is the earnest hope of all the crew that he should be ab mi d under the new command. FOREWORD IN the Good Ship Washington Park we embark in Septem- ber for a voyage on the sea of School Life. At first we en- counter smooth sailing, but out upon the high seas we soon sight the pirate ship Delinquents. Sometimes a spirited encounter results in the loss of a few sailors; but most of the company, having followed the orders of their superior offi- cers, come out of the fray unscathed. Next we shape our course toward the Port of Report Cards. Wasting little time, we set out on the second lap of our voyage. Early in June we return, only to bid farewell to the many for whom this has been the final trip. THE MAIN DOOR LOOKING OUT Always the future for a sailor involves doubt. At one moment the horizon looks bright; the next, cloudy. Will his compass not fail? Will he be strong enough to re- -st temptation and not dissipate all his faculties while on shore leave. ' Will he realize promotion? Will he not be washed overboard in time of high seas? Oh yes, he ponders questions. Yet the call of the sea is Strong, and the life of distant lands lures those of quick im- agination. Therefore go forth fearlessly all ye who enter her. For though the seas be rough, though rocks be imminent, the sailors life is the virile life, and boredom is not for him! THE LIBRARY Here is the kitchen where the good food for crew and passen- gers is prepared, cooked, seasoned. Here is the place where too much K. P. duty has irked many a lusty gob. But when the dishes of information have been served piping hot in classroom dinners, luncheon, or light breakfasts, then the work in kitchen seemed as nothing. For the luscious smack of lips over rare morsels of knowl- edge served as more than recompense for tedious toil. For the chef here the direst difficulty has been supplying pro- visions and keeping lookout for loafers and samplers. For at some time or other every officer, sailor, or passenger has been irresist- ably tempted by the aroma of learning and has crept into the kit- chen to have a taste. If the food has been good, the sly chef is pleased ! In this kitchen are held many of the ship ' s more formal enter- tainments, and then the atmosphere of dignity which pervades this room lends its charm to the occasion. V ) J v OUR PRINCIPAL Planning the courses, handling the finances of the school, meeting parents and pupils and teachers in all their difficulties, paying atten- tion to details, details, details require the utmost energy and patience on the part of the administrative staff of any school. As an organiser Mr. Giese has shown outstanding ability. His efficient and humane insight into the problems of administration has given to the school a definite tone of courteous, quiet operation which makes it possible for the overcrowded building to handle successfully those who seek education during these times of scarcity of employment. THE OFFICE Miss Rodigan, Miss LaMack, and Miss Benson make up the efficient office force of Park High. Miss Rodigan is home visitor and has charge of all attendance records. She is also graduate ad- viser, and seniors frantically seek her when worrying about their credits for graduation. Miss LaMack is the principal ' s secretary, has charge of the school stock room, keeps all school records, and each Thursday must check on all S. C. A. cash. Miss Benson, student assistant, acts as hello girl who must absorb the shocks of petty distresses on the part of anyone in school. Then too, she mails delinquents! I Mr. Giese and Miss LaMack The Office Hallway Miss Benson at the phone LIBRARY To keep an eagle eye on approximately K),(HX) copies of books history, literature, fiction, science, and travel — to keep another eagle eye on students who might disturb their more serious fellows while at work, these are no easy tasks. Therefore, Miss Lillian Jones, librarian, enlists the assistance of several students who are interested in library procedure. During the past year, appropriations for books have been Steadily reduced, although the slogan A Book In The Libi ai v Is Worth Ten In The Attic called forth a few contributions from Students and teachers. Book or cash donation-, .it any time help this heart of the educational institution. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mens sana m carport sano. Park High has no stadium, no great amphitheatre where, like the ancients, youth might en- tertain the populace in Olympics. But in the gymnasiums and on the school grounds (when weather permits) is de- veloped in every Student a healthy body which become.-- a tit temple for a healthy mind. Miss Shaw and Mr. Ziebell. girls ' and boys ' physical directors respectively, do more, however, than merely help to keep physically fit those whose major activity is mental. The development of a sense of fairness, of esprit de corps lends their work significance far beyond the significance of external improvement. Above: R iv- ' C ' ..ili-th.

ENGLISH To build a vocabulary large enough to meet the needs of life; to master the forms of writing needed in daily life; to develop effectiveness in spoken English: these are a few of the purposes of English as taught in Washington Park High. This is the practical side of English, the side for which we feel an mmediate need. But a preparation to use leisure time must also be met. Hence a study of all types of literature is made : short stories, novels, dramas, poetry, essays. From the earliest English literature to the contents of the latest published maga-ines all becomes a part of the English course. That intangible thing, American Spirit, is the basis of the work in American literature. Through the study of American writers, an attempt is made to understand the spirit of en- durance, of patriotism, of humor, of devotion, and of service: all as characteristics of our own country. As a fitting close to the three years in English, English literature to their eyes her ample page Rich with the spoils of time unrolls her treasures hoping that from these treasures each may carry away with him cherished gems; that having been brought face to face with great ideals, his own responsibility tor the stewardship of life may be more deeply realized; that the enjoyment of great books may become one of his principal sources of entertainment and inspiration; that the spirit of service may become an active part of the life pur- pose of each student graduating from Washington Park High.

MATHEMATICS Trying to run our civilized world without the use of mathematics would he like trying to run an automobile without lubricating oil. The study of mathematics began through necessity. When the first savage brought home his kill and divided it among his kin, he was applying mathematics. Had he talked about the principles of this division, he would have been offering an elementary course in arith- metic. From this point onward to the algebra which students today have had the privilege of studying the growth of mathematics has taken on increasing significance. For our compli- cated economic system, our gigantic engineering projects, our prodigious architectural en- terprises make mathematics indispensible for those who expect to contribute to civilization. In this school three semesters in the mathematics department are required for an academic course, and these include one semester of algebra and one year of plane geometry. The semester of algebra is a continuation of work begun in junior high schools. One of the projects in the mathematics courses is the making of figures tor solid geometry. Wire, wood, soap, tin, almost ny available materi al finds some form of usefulness under the ingenuity of students. 1 earning the use of the slide rule is another and not the least significant ele- ment ot the mathematics course. And foi some who become quite skillful, the u the surveyor ' s transit alii ids such interesl ing activities as measuring the height of the flag pole or of a building. rx Standing: Blanche Racine, Margaret Knudson, Anna L.

LANGUAGE Latin, which has existed since long before the death of Christ, is still a fundamental fac- tor in our language and work of today. Down through the ages all educated and cultured people have studied and spoken it, and many languages, including French, Spanish, and English, have been derived from it. Today it is a great asset to every doctor or lawyer to have a knowledge of Latin and the romance languages. Our language department here at school, which is situated at the east end of the second floor, consists of Latin, German, and French. Mrs. Sogard heads this department, and un- der her are Miss Wiechers, Miss Rodefer, Miss Knudson. In addition Miss Racine teaches two French classes, Mrs. Bruins and Miss Neitzel each two German classes. To create a proper atmosphere all the French and German classes are conducted in the language which they are studying, and to brighten their daily toil, the Students play games and sing songs which prove helpful to them. In the German classes, programs are planned by the students every week, and the lives of well known German characters of today and of the past are discussed. The seven Latin classes, although not conducted in the Latin language, are kept very busy reading Latin and translating. The Caesar classes acquire a knowledge of the Roman method of warfare and the modern parallels. They gain an insight into the personality of Caesar, who has been pronounced the most complete man of all history. Students Studying Cicero and Vergil learn much concerning the history and customs of old Rome and also the history of the world at that time. The classes in beginning Latin make a special Study of the Roman house, drawing a floor plan and planning its furniture.

SOCIAL SCIENCES History, the Story of the world, is the only subject that just grew . All other subjects were worked up to the place they now hold. History must always remain as it is now written except for the additions of new events as time goes on. The Social Science Department is made up of a group of studies namely. Economics, Current History, Civics, Early European History, Modern History, and American History; the last being the only one of the six that is required. Civics acquaints us with our government and its method of working, thus sending us out into the world better prepared to be good citizens of our country. Early European and Modern History can really be considered under one heading, for the latter is only a continuation of the former. Five thousand B. C. seems to be a long, long, time ago, and to be sure, it is; yet as one Studies this period, its people and customs, they seem as happenings ot only yesterday. American History, because it deals with our own people and the background ot our nation, naturally interests us above the other courses. As American citizens we are in- terested m the organizing of our government and the open ng of the West, for had it not been for these two things, our nation might today be a second rate power. This department is not all work and no play . One of the interesting projects ot not such ancient history was the International Program. Such an exhibition helps to acquaint us with the various peoples of the world, thus creating a better feeling toward other races. The History Department is really doing missionary work, for it helps to promote world understanding, which is of vital interest to us as a nation today. Miss DuFour Mi-- Hirvev Z ihytA -!

What addi- tional possibilities not yet discovered are offered by the radio? Scientists can help to answer these questions. Only the youths cf today will be the scientists of tomorrow, but in order to be so, they must begin their training early. In this school Mr. Wilbor has watchfully headed the science department. The courses m physics (Mr. Wilbor) chemistry (Mr. Rogers) biology (Mr. Sanders and Mr. Worun) have afforded students otherwise loaded down with algebra, language, literature, some outlet for their less subjective inclinations. During the spring, biology students take field trips and study the plant and animal life of the community. Biology begins with the Study of a cell and proceeds to study the de- velopment through the more complicated forms of both plant and animal life. No dissection is performed in the course, yet a thorough study of the structure of frogs is not neglected. On the south side of the building the fish hatchery and plant hatchery under the daily care of Mr. Sanders and Mr. Worun have thrived to add plenty of features for school gossip. In chemistry Mr. Rogers leads his Students through a Study of organic chemistry in the Litter half of the second semester. This covers thoroughly as much work as is done in the first semester of a good college course. Any Student with this background can register in chemistry 2 when pursuing his higher education. The first semester ' s work in physics is designed with emphasis on mechanics; the second semester ' s work emphasizes electricity. Only two semesters of this course are offered for high school credit. Mr Wilbor The Growing Room In the lab with Mr. Rogers J Standing: Raymond P. Hawker, Richard Hallisy. ( !uy H Weaver Sitting: Florence Pennete.ither. Erwin Wall, Olivia Anna Baker COMMERCIAL In our highly industrialized world, commercial work is indispensable. It is a field in which there exists unlimited opportunity for the American youth bent on securing footing in the business world. That the Students of Park High School are awake to these opportu- nities and realize the importance of commercial work is shown by the large enrollment in the various subjects of that department. Last semester the number of Students who elected commercial courses totalled about 870. In order to accommodate them all, it was necessary to secure the use of class rooms usually devoted to other studies. Under the direction of Mr. Wall the commercial department offers courses that give thorough and efficient instruction in bookkeeping, Stenography, typing, office practice, com- mercial law, commercial correspondence, and business organization. The course in bookkeeping offers a student two semesters in that suhiect, and tries to lay a firm foundation if the individual wants to go farther into accounting. A novel method has been devised to give the students in the office practice course prac- tical training in that subject. Students are assigned to different teachers to act as personal secretaries, thus obtaining experience before leaving school. So many pupils want to take typing that some have to be rejected for Lick of room. As in the shorthand classes, tests are given monthly to ascertain a student ' s accuracy and speed. The one receiving the highest number of words per minute is crowned the champii in i if the month. Mr Wall ' s B INDUSTRIAL ARTS The Industrial Arts Department provides a itanding: Theodore E. Beach, Howard C. Hotchkiss : Charles J Stimulating tryOUt period in a possible vocation; Haumersen, Jacob E. LaBonde, Harold R. Johnson. gives a foundation tor continued work in that vocation; supplies useful knowledge for the solu- tion of practical problems; and provides a laboratory for doing creative work. Each day seven hundred and fifty students utilize this opportunity by attending Industrial Arts classes. The department does many things by way of improvement about the school. This year cabinet-making classes constructed a movable stage planned by Mr. Beach for use in assemblies. The bank boards in the gymnasium can now be raised and lowered by means of a worm gear, due to the efficient work of the machine shop. Mr. LaBonde ' s work includes sheet metal in addition to machine shop. Since the print shop acquired a linotype Mr. Johnson and students in printing have printed the Park Beacon, formerly sent out of town. Elementary electrical courses are under Mr. Hotchkiss. In advanced courses, under Mr. Haumersen, theory and operation of transformers, condensers, dynamos, and motors are studied. Mr. Hotchkiss ' mam subject, mechanical drawing includes both machine and archi- tectural drawing. Above: Print Shop, Mechanical Drawing, Cabinet-Making.

Miss Adams and Miss Teuscher in the Practice Dining R HOUSEHOLD ARTS Household Arts consists of a study of roods and clothing under the supervision of Miss Adams and Miss Teuscher tespectively. The clothing courses progress from dressmak- ing and textiles to costume designing and, finally, a study of home living, standards of family life, and elements of running a household. As one of the practical projects in this depart- ment, the girls made flags for the International Carnival a year ago. The interior decoration class furnished the teachers ' rest room and the department dining room. Boys of the Manual Arts department wear each day heavy aprons for which they can thank the girls on the second floor. Under the auspices of the Foods department Hi-Y banquets, senior banquets, luncheons, and dinners have been served, and cookies and cakes have been made for the Red Cross. Miss Adams has charge of this course which proceeds from a Study of elementary cook- ing, such as the preparation of luncheons, to advanced cooking for the preparation of full dinners and, finally, a thorough study of household management, home care of the sick, and dietetics.

MUSIC ! our lives, what our personalities would be if music were lifted from them we cannot guess. For H%rrno nious tones have become so much a part of our minds that any coniecture as to their ab- ftaahbe would likely be far from accurate. Thus too it is impossible to measure what Miss Watts, Mr. Schulte and their loyal company of artists have given to Park High during the past years. But this we know: that each year we hear the music of bands, orchestras, and glee clubs with increasing pleasure; and that each year their ex- panding competence brings into a growing number of lives great harmony which might otherwise be missed.

To train the student for any kind of speak- ing that he may be asked to do is the aim of a course in speech. Two semesters of Speech are offered, the first dealing with the fundamentals of speech, and the second including debates and longer speeches. The mechanism and use of the voice, interpretative reading, parliamentary practice, and etiquette are also included in speech work. This semester one hundred and twenty-three students in their second semester of Speech participated in nineteen de- bates dealing with current questions. These debates were judged as to correctness of data and the manner of delivery. Debating is an interesting way of presenting before an aud- ience arguments for and against some current problem. Humorous dramatic readings or orations were presented by each Student before his class. The idea that the speaker was talking with those in the audience was always stressed. Ex- t emporaneous and impromptu speeches were also delivered by the students. A speech recital, composed of various phases of class work, was presented by the Speech Depart- ment at the end of May. On Jan. 20 the play In the Zone won the inter-class dramatics tourna- ment with the following cast: Smitty, Howard Stacey; Davis, TeJ Savides; Olson, Calvin Peck; Scotty, Fred Cape; Ivan. Kenneth Mowry. Yank. Morris Shovers; Driscoll, Ray Topping; Cocky, Arthur Reesnes; Paul. Eugene Apple. DRAMATICS All dramatics students, numbering some one hundred and thirty are instructed by Miss Cape. The purpose of the Dramatics Department is to present to the students the fun- damental principles necessary to acting and play production. Two semesters of dramatics are offered, during which both text book work and acting are done. The stage areas, the art of make-up, and various bits of information useful to the adta ' i are studied. This year all students in their first semester of dramatics were placed in casts which presented one act plays before their respective classes. A dramatics tournament was also held during the last year in which three dramatics classes competed, each class presenting a play. The plays were given during three assemblies, and at the end In the Zone was -elected as the winner. Medals were given the cast and pro- duction workers in the winning class. A Senior Class play, Little Women, all of whose actors were seniors and whose production workers were taken from the dramatics classes, was presented May 19 under the direction of Miss Cape. Mr- Pelten Little Women was presented with the following cast: Mr March, Rudolph Mikus; Mrs. March, Anita Marcussen; Meg. Mae Lembke; I Dorothy Raftenburg; Beth, Mary Rowlands; Amy, Arliss Larson, Aunt March, Evelyn Matson; Mr. Laurence, Fred Cape. Laurie. Morris Shovers; Professor Bhaer, Walter Mickelson; John Brooke, Alvin Hen; burg, Hannah Mullett, Mabel Draves. %M ART It is not unusual in the late spring or early fall, when the weather is favorable, to see art students sally forth with drawing boards, water colors, chalk, charcoal, and other implements of their trade to transfer a bit of the landscape to paper All the art classes, including the first semester, the second semester, and advanced art classes, have the op ' portunity to enjoy this type of work at least once or twice , , n r , , during the course. In the Art Room after school ° These out-of-door expeditions are, however, only a small part of the varied program arranged for her classes by Miss Helen Sawyer, director of the art department. Sometime during each semester the Art One students study the great American artists, modern illustrators, commercial artists, and also the most important methods of reproduction. Art Two people take up the lives and works of eminent European artists; and the Advanced Art classes study various phases of art or architecture, perhaps carving skyscrapers from Ivory soap, or constructing intersecting vaults to make the study more vivid. At Christmas time there is remarkable activity in the vicinity of the printing press, for hundreds of linoleum block prints are produced for greeting cards, to say nothing of the prints obtained on various parts of the printers anatomies. At other times there have been many people in the art room expressing a strong desire to dye. However, life, it seems, is not always so undesirable, for during the deepest de- pression many of these same art students were making purses, which suggests that they must have had plenty with which to fill them. Aside from their craft problems and their regular class work, many of the Students have shown initiative in art work for various other departments and activities in school such as making posters for advertising purposes, all the art work m the Kipi, and a frieze that it is hoped will in the future adorn the walls of the sewing room.

Well, Pearl was a Boone to it. TOM BOWER It ' .- too bad that Tom doesn ' t know how to yodel because he would make a swell Tar:an. Even it he hasn ' t any lungle to lump around in. Bower ' s pole vaulting ability was a decided asset to the track squad. CLARA BRACKEVELT Wichaka, the Girls ' Athleti ciation, and the Girls ' R Club form the outside activities to which Clara devoted her time. She ha- dark eyes, curly hair and a quiet charm, but even velvet cm be ruffled JACK J. BRODY What-a-man-Brody. Park H. V wouldn ' t be Park High without our Jack.

SENIOR A ' S QUENTIN BROWN Remember the days when the Library Club had Quentin enthralled, and it you wished a book written by Amos, you looked on the Zilch -hell Them were the days when he got Suck on as president of the Stamp Club. But them days are gone, gone! JEROME R. BROWNE Shiver me timbers ' Jerry is a mem- ber of the Sea-Scouts and how he doe- love the water. Aside from his love for the briny deep, he has been a mem- ber of the Audubon Club, Glee Club, and Student Council CHARLES BRUNNELSON Charles is a great lover of music He plays the clarinet in the junior and senior band and the junior or- chestra. Besides his music, he has time for football and his favorite study, Latin.

Still, he takes nothing seriously, and th haps, mike- the ry com- bination that give- him hi- poise. DONALD CANTER Donald used to be a quiet boy and it was necessary to look behind his blushes for his virtues, but things are different now. He was on the Stu- dent Council. His leisure seems to be spent in doing nothing. HOWARD CARLSON Play, Fiddle, Play! One of the things we ' re anticipating now is Howie ' s reception as the second Kreisler. He was in the orchestra; he dabbled with languages in the Es- peranto and French Clubs ,and be- longed to the Commercial Honor Club. INEZ CARRIGG Her affections are constant — it ' s just the object that changes. They call her Skippy and how well it fits her. Skippy skipped around to French and Audubon meetings but we ' re afraid to say whether she skip- ped school. BARBARA CATTERLIN Parle:-vous francais? Babbs was vice-president of the French Club for two semesters and a member of Tri Alpha for four. And, oh, how she loves to spend evenings home reading a book! At least, she says she does, but . HARRY CHOPYAK We thought athletics was Chubby ' s only activity. We just discovered this semester that it is not. Chubby was a member of the Pep and Glee Clubs. What would our basketball and foot- ball teams have been without him? We ' re asking you. EARLE CHRIST French Club, Hi-Y, Student Coun- cil, Ski Club— Oh. why go on 7 Ver- sitality is his middle name and don ' t think he hasn ' t time to Study because Earl is one of our honor students. There ' s no doubt about it, this boy ' s good!

Mary Lou likes ' em big and broad and tall. Send in your applications now. PHYLLIS K. DAHLBERG Phyllis ' outstanding feature is her unusual wit, which is as sparkling as a diamond. Her activities include the Beacon and Kipi Staffs, Dramatics Productions, Commercial Honor Club, Wichaka, and the Forum Club. MILDRED DAVIDSON She ' s pretty to walk with, witty to talk with, and pleasant to think on. She may be beautiful but not dumb as her membership on the Honor Roll, Kipi Staff, Commercial Club, and Tri Alpha will prove. STEPHEN DOBROWSKI Look at this combination! His nick name is Ben Lyon (mostly Lyon) his favorite pastime is listening to Ben Bernie, his favorite sport is riddle-dee- winks, his favorite study is English — introducing Stephen Dobrowski. VERITA JONITA DOSS We ' ve heard; yes, we ' ve heard that Verita is a whiz at playing basketball and she admits herself that she loves it — so! She says she likes to read, enioys Studying French, and belongs to Glee Club. MABEL DRAVES Many tell us Mabel can do any- thing. Her activities don ' t deny it. She has been on the Honor Roll, Na- tional Honor Society, Secretary m Mar et Hours, member of the Ger- man Club, and the maid in Little Women, JUNE L. EASSON Is Junie going to be a radio star? We wonder. Her laugh is as catching land fetching) asGracie Allen ' s. Who could ask for more 1 June has been in the French Club and played in a dramatics production. THEODORE C. G. EICKNER Ted was S. C. A. and bank cashier and belonged to the Glee Club, Ger- man Club, and Student Council. One warm lunch hour, while vice-presi- dent of Audubon, he was seen pick- ing up his dignity under a tree in Washington Park. u LEROY ELLINGHAM He speaks very quietly in classes, but just let him get out on the street corner in a downtown section with a bundle ot papers under his arm, and what a difference. He had no outside activities but perhaps schoolwork claimed most ot his time. ELSIE GRACE ENGSTRC IM Those bright-eyes are as useful as they are ornamental as anyone who ' s seen Elsie play basketball knows. She doesn ' t spend all her time on this, be cause she has been a member of Tn Alpha, Wichaka, and French Club BERNARD ERNST This solid geometry fiend is in- terested in sports and has annoyed the fellows on the football and track teams as manager for a few seasons Ben carries a mean water bucket and tapes torn pant-jto perfection on the gridiron. GRACE ERNST Gracie is an unathj tic girl, terested in every kinra ot sport, an R girl, and a membVr_of G. A. A . yet one of the most feminine of girls. German Club, Commercial Honor Club, and Wichaka are also among her activities. DOROTHY JANE FALL Dot is a self-winding affair, and she never runs down.

ALBA MARIE FORNARY The Little Girl with the big athletic record. And just to prove it — she ' s an R girl, a member of the Girls ' Athletic Association, and was on both the Sophomore Cham- pionship baseball team and the [unii ' Championship hockey team. MARGARET JANET FOSTER Peggy is a busy girl. Member of Commercial Club, G. A. A., an R girl, on the Kipi Staff, secretary of Wichaka, S. C. A. cashier. Yet she has found time (though we don ' t see how) to place on the Honor Roll! ROBERT W. FOX WELL Park High ' s own Joe E. Brown. The cafeteria is going to miss him a lot. We ' ll never forget how Boh maneuvered that truck-wagon in there. And won ' t his absence be noticed by everyone on the football squad 1 _ DOROTHY GELLMAN [ You needn ' t look; just listen Dorothy ' s coming at the other end of the corridor. In Wichaka, German. and Commercial Honor Clubs she talks, talks, talks, and though it Eeems unbelievable, she never tires or runs short of subjects.

GLENN GREENQU1ST Red Greenquist. not a Christmas decoration. We ' ve come to the con- clusion that Red has insomnia: he hasn ' t fallen asleep in English this semester. When it comes to football and Glee Club, he ' s always wide awake and raring to go. ELLA G. GREGERSEN A tall, quiet girl who seems almost afraid to speak unless spoken to. She is not backward in her studies, is a member of the Student Council, also the Wichaka Club, and has been on the Honor Roll. Perhaps her smile accomplishes more than would many words. KAY GRIFFIN Speaking of Mona Lisa— have you ever gazed into Kay ' s limpid pools of dreaminess 1 Ah, me. But she ' s al- ways in scrapes, always doing some- thing that shouldn ' t be done, always having difficulties, — here ' s a case where looks are deceiving. MARIE GUENTHER Mane likes to cook, she like- to bake, she likes to sew, and she like, to keep house. She probably was the inspiration for the title of the Good Housekeeping Magazine. Her spare time is devoted to Wichaka. ANDREW HABAN Football games should not begin by schedule. Andy shou ld have a chance to ditch his truck when it stops running, hike the remainins three or tour miles to town, and still be on time to do his part in Band A. JACK P. HANSEN We have no idea what Jack ' s laugh ' ter sounds like because we ' ve never heard it, at least not in school. He transferred from Rocktord, Illinois. High School, went out tor trick in his Junior B year, and has been running after blondes ever since. 9 ' i  SENIOR A ' S HELEN HANSON Helen ' s the answer to a baskctbdl coach ' s prayer — she ' s tall, fast, and has a good basket-eye. Student Coun- cil, Beacon, Kipi, Commercial Honor, and Wichaka Clubs weren ' t negle 3ed however on account of her fondness for basketball and tennis. BETTE HART Once upon a time she was spelled Betty and wore plenty of thick heavy sweaters. Then she came to Park. After joining Beacon, Tn Alpha, and G. A. A., some spare time remained. Now Gordie and chemistry take care of that. EDWARD M. HEIMES Sure you know him! Thelittle hoy, with the great big specks.

HELIKSON Gladie is a minister ' s daughter, and she works quietly and busily at everything she does. She was a mem- ber of the Cartoon Club for a little while and then forsook it for member- ship in the Glee and Audubon Clubs. FLOYD HOBBS We ' ll have to watch out for this smouldering volcano because some day he ' s going to blaze forth and then, Move over, Einstein . At present the most distinguished thing about Hobbs is his flaming orange and blue jacket. HELEN HOPPE Glee Club is the only place that Helen allows herself to drop her quiet role. She ' s been doing this for six semesters. She can almost be regard- ed as a permanent fixture. Helen has also found Tri Alpha and Student Council meetings interesting. JOE HUDEC Jean Harlow Hudec, blond in sum- mer, brunette winter that ' s Hudge. This ex-track star will drive Miss Watts to an inevitable breakdown it he shows up tor post-grad Glee Club. He eats, sleeps, drinks, and plays baseball. PHILLIP LESLIE 1LL1NGWORTH The gr.inJf.aher of Park. Phil ' s only outside activity 15 the .indent and honorable sport of debating. It ' s dangerous to be anywhere within five feet of him because his only com- petition tor the pinching champion- ship is a pair of new shoes GORDON JACKSON Not leaving us so soon, Gordy? By this time Gordy ought to apply for the position ot school guide. He monkeyed around in Audubon. Glee, and Ritle Clubs. His favorite high school subject is study period. ELMER JAOOBSEN Behold! Here we have the only , oung man in captivity who has been offered a Tn Alpha membership and refused it ' He meriteJ this offer by stapling the Park High Handbook tor Tn Alpha. Elmer belongs to Glee Club. JEAN ALTHEA JACOBSEN A big position for a httle girl, the presidency of Wichaka, but Jean held it. Besides being on Quill and Scroll and aTfcadline writer on the Beacon, she hasjhad time to be S. C. A. and also banH cashier. LOl IS JACOBSEN, Jr. No, Louie didn ' t bring that horn to school for nothing, for he has a part in both our orchestra and band. Not content with mastering that instru- ment. Louis can use a golt club with no mean ability. HARRIETT MARIE JAMES She ' s petite and lively and she really should know something about the handling ot money. She was 111 S. C. A cashier every semester and was a bank cashier in her sophomi : Besides this she was a member ot Wichaka and Tn Alpha. EVA JANIAK There is no need ever to say louder when Eva talks, she ' s the typical little girl with the big voice. not talking but merit t : . her into the Commercial Honor Club and on the Honor Roll. PRANCES WILLARD JENKINS At first glance Franny might look like an angel, but we know better Did you ever notice that wicked twinkle in her eyes ' ' It means she ' s up to something. Be careful 1 Franny was vice-president of Tn Alpha. ANNA MARGARET J ENSEN Don ' t ask, How ' s the air up there, Anna 1 tor she might retort, Come up and find out, and when she wishes, Anna can use a tone of voice that chills. For three semesters she was the much looked up to bank cashier of her roll call. ODA M.

As a mem- ber of the German Club this aspiring artist made some signs which so at- tracted public notice that they dis- appeared like magic. LYLE KNUDSON Lyle Knudson — you know him — Bussy. He ' s the little boy whose am- bition apparently is to be Park ' s cham- pion wisecracker. He was an S. C. A. cashier besides being a member of Hi-Y, Glee, and French Clubs. PEARL M. KORAN Pearl should be called the class mother , she played her part so well in the Chriilmas Party. She doesn ' t say much, but when she talks, she says something worth saying. That she was on the Hoicr Roll should prove it. LADISLAUS M. KOVERA Laddie, the nonpareil player of bafketball! With him on the floor, how could a team lose? His face splitting grin is contagious and the things he can do to a wad ot gum are soul-rending. Write Mr. Wngley for bonus! VICTORIA H. KOVERA Here ' s fair warning! Never, never tease Vicky, for though she doesn ' t claim Irish descent, she does threaten to blow up on any such occasions. Wichaka, Commercial Honor Club, and Glee Club provided her with ex- tra-curricular activities. WALTER C. KRAMER Most people know the sound of the fog horn at the Point, but some few folks confuse this with the noise Walter makes while practicing on his trombone for band. Secret spies con- firm reports that Walter ' s chief out- side activity is walking home from school. JOE KURHAJEC How that boy can eat ! But to play his type of basketball and football, one ought to eat heartily. (You ' re welcome for the alibi, Joe.) He ' s tall, blond, and freckled. Don ' t crowd, girls, he blushes so easily— and beau- tifully. SENIOR A ' S CHARLES JOHN LANGE It is possible that the author ot In- sane Interviews may be the genius he thinks he is. One never knows. He has worked out in the Writers ' Club, Cartoon Club, and Kipi Staff, and took a special vacation course jru tramping. MILTON Milt is who know of Amer he ' s the MARVIN J. LARSON Regardless of his objections, Squirt is the nickname which Sticks to him. Mr. Hotchkiss loves this little roll call member, and Miss Collier ' s Eng- lish class could not do without him. His classmates, how do they feel about HARRIET W. LEMKE Girlie, her nickname, fits Harriet quite well. Girlie has managed to be a member of the Student Council, Kipi Staff. Glee Club, Wichaka, and Library Club, in which she gets a chance to check up on her vocabulary. MAE LEMBKE Mae goes in for M ' s in a great big way — Meg in Little Women, and Mike just all the time. She has also belonged to G. A. A., Tri Alpha, and the Beacon. As for eyes! Eddie Can- tor, meet your rival. eik;ar F. LIEBKE His activities at Park have been both physical and mental. We know that ' s unusual but Eddie ' s an unusual boy. The Ski Club and wrestling were honored by Edgar ' s membership and he was an alternate for the Student Council. BERNICE LINDSAY With all her ability Bernice should be right out in front, but she doesn ' t assert herself enough. She can cook and sew and type and knows some- thing about chemistry; nothing flashy, but of such is the salt of the earth. BEVERLY JANE LINGSWILER Everyone wonders if Fairfax High. of sunny Hollywood, realized what it was losing when Bev moved to Racine. Since coming here, she has been vice-president of the Cartoon Club, a bank cashier, member of Glee Club and of the Kipi Staff. MARIE H. LOEWECKE The self-confessed Shrimp is another of the girls seen around school, but very rarely heard. Maybe it ' s be- cause she ' s too busy with her duties in the Commercial Club, G A. A., and getting on the Honor Roll. CHESTER MADISON He ' s a terror when he gets started, but since his conscience is his guide, these occasions are few and far be- tween, very few and far between 1 Chet says there ' s no one girl tor him. No, thank you. DOROTHY MADSEN The Speed Queen who always has her work done long before it is due 1 Dot ' s favorite subject is chem- istry. Is there any wonder 7 She is the only girl in a class of twenty-three boys. Don ' t miss that smile. GENEVIEVE MADSEN She has no faults or we no faults could find. An ordinary girl in that she ' s quiet but quite different in that she puts schoolwork first and pleasure second. She ' s a Student to admire. After a lot of hard luck, she ' s still able to graduate. ALLEN and basl MAHNKE n he gets into that game. a Doc and then some , Y Chorus of their presi- was football co-captain, be- ing in the band.

J( 61 THINE MARTIN The girl with the odd nickname, Shanghai Nobody knows, or else nobody ' 11 tell, where it comes from. Nevertheless, there are some things we know about her. She ' s a meml « I ot the Glee, Commercial Honor, and Esperanto, and Writers ' Clubs. HELEN MAS1EW1CZ A quiet and pleasant manner wins many friends She admits that her favorite sport is tennis, her favorite pastime is reading, her favorite study is clothing. She was a bank during her tir-t semester at Park. EVELYN M. MATSEN Oh, to be a- brilliant as Evelyn. She was president of the French Club, a Kipi chairman, belonged to Wichaka, Student Council. Commercial Honoi Club, and played the part of Aunt March in the senior class play ' it I Women.

Dot was treasurer ot the G. A. A., S. C. A. cashier three semesters, on the Honor Roll, and has two R ' s. AUSTIN McCREERY Yes, to an excellent student, school Rets tiresome, so Austin only comes a half-day and sometimes that seems too much tor him. Maybe he would rather wrestle, which seems to be his favorite sport, as he practices regular- ly. MARY JUNE McDONALD Mary, Maryy not at all contrary, especially where rank is concerned. Her rendezvous is am ' corridor at any loc,ker on any floor at ny time. Glee v-C lub, Wichaka, I and ibrary Club have interested her sufficiently to claim her membership. MARTHA MEISSNER Dark-haired and quiet, that ' s Martha. She tried Glee Club for one semester, but she didn ' t seem to be willing to make much noise, so she joined Tri Alpha. She served as vice- president of the German Club. RODNEY BURNS MERRILL Perhaps someone saw Rod play basketball and liad him, made sports editor of the Beacon to keep him from making the team. He was on the Stu- dent Council and Kipi Staff, Quill and Scroll treasurer, and S. C. A. cashier. ■. .. . ED M1CK-ALAK . ) A silent-bold badman whp loves to ' play football. He is awfully bashful around girls but tries to put forth a bold front. He plays golf and his in- terest in life is not education. — it ' s dteammg in the Study hall. RUDOLPH MIKUS Mikus is fond of honors, and he certainly gets enough. Not content with the honor snared while in a role in the senior class play, he won a place in the Commercial Honor Club and on the Honor Roll. VETOLT E. MIKULSKY We wonder whether sleeping or swimming is Veet ' s favorite sport. Did you know that he was chosen as the best actor in his Dramatics I class? He played a comedy role. He also takes a delight in wearing gaudy bow ties ' SENIOR A ' S GEORGE MILLER Remember way back when George and Viola used to gossip together? Since she left, he has shared his atten- tions with everyone. He has not only been a Glee Club songbird for six semesters but has also Studied song- birds per Audubon. HELEN MILLER Helen says she likes to sleep, but with the presidency of the Girls ' Athletic Association, and member- ship in the Glee, Wichaka, German, and Rifle Clubs it doesn ' t seem pos- sible that she has much time left for slumber. GRACE MONROE The life of the party, she ' s loads of fun, anywhere, anytime, everywhere, everyplace, just can ' t be serious. She ' s some writer of one-act playlets. Everything with her is easy come, easy go, and there ' s no rush about it either. WINNIE MORTENSEN Winnie has had fun writing up things for the Kipi, being news-editor of the Beacon, serving as secretary- treasurer of the German Club, and being on the Student Council. But her favorite pastime is thinking up something nasty to say to Carl Schroeder. «9 S -  - PERL NELSEN Tall boys, — here ' s the girl you ' ve been looking for. But we guess they ' ve discovered her without hav- ing to be told. She ' s a born basket- ball player! She might be able to tell our basketball R boys a few things. SVEND H. NELSEN While a member of the Beacon ad- vertising Staff, he was one of the Park delegates to the state journalist ' s con- vention. Svend doesn ' t make much of a commotion. We see him strolling around the hall — but my how quiet. 3 ALICE JOAN NELSON Kipi Staff, Glee Club, Tri Alpha. Wichaka, French Club — sounds like a list of all school activities, but it ' s only the things which claim Alice ' s attention after school hours. Yet, she has actually found time to be on the Honor Roll. MAJEL NELSON Maiel is so quiet that she could walk into the room while a pin dropped and one would never know she was there if it weren ' t that we could hear those brown eyes crackl- ing, but can she play basketball ' MARSHALL W. NELSON Outward appearances are deceiv- ing. At least so we find in the case of Marshall ' s demure exterior. Here ' s a hint — Start talking radio to him and watch this man go 1 You will find his name has been on several honor rolls, too. RICHARD H. NELSON Dick has light hair, but that doesn ' t apply to his head. He is often seen, but seldom heard. His smile is grand, but we have never heard him laugh. Dick ' s not so big, but he does a whale of a lot of things. ROBERT NELSON, Jr. Brawn, brains, bashfulness, basket- -ball. Bob. Some folks call him Rube, but not for his bright orange R . That ' s for what he does on basket- ball floors. Finally, attention! The president of good old ' 33 ! IRCIN VIRGINIA MARIE NELSON Who said blondes are dumb 1 Though Dinny ' s hair falls in waves of almost platinum blondness, her scho- lastic Standing contradicts that adage. Dinny served on the Student Council and Beacon and Kipi Staffs and was a member of the Debate Club. KATHLEEN NOON AN What a lucky girl to have blonde, naturally curly hair like Kay ' s. She says that she likes to play basketball and her favorite study is typing. With her hair we think she ' d get more tin] from Studying ' her reliction. S FRED OERTEL Frit: is well-known down around the shops and the cafeteria. His Chinese grin often proclaims him Chink although it isn ' t a lasting nickname. It also seems as though he used to frequent the Beacon adver- tizing staff. Might be a mistake. WALTER OLSON Walter is another important cog that complicated machine that make the wheels of the Glee Club go around . But no wonder Wally is such a good singer — he stays in at night and listens to Kate Smith. GLENN PATRICK Glenn is a quiet sort of fellow who takes life easily and calmly — espec- ially in class rooms. Wonder whether he or Mary Jane answers when their mother calls Pat . He was in Audubon Club and played a cornet in the school band. MILDRED- PAULSON Millie ' s been an assistant in the history department after school. You ' d think this would keep her from after-school pleasures — But instead she belongs to Student Council, Com- mercial Honor Club. Wichaka, Au- dubqp, and Girls ' Athletic Associa- tion. ALBERT A.

And not content with merely singing songs, he has also tried writing them. GERTRUDE PETERSON A rolling stone gathers no moss, but what good is moss ' ' Gerty has belonged to both Wichaka and the Glee Club. Gentlemen prefer blondes, so the saying goes. Gerty is a blonde so she should know. Stu- dious 1 Well, not very. GORDON PETERSEN It seems a shame that any person should use his elbows as much as Pete. Ho nist sits, chin on hand, elbow on desk, staring into space. Yet he has a pet study, printing, and plays in the band. HELEN FLORENCE PHILLIPS For three years Helen has been quietly chiseling herself a nook in the hall ot fame, and she ' s making pro- gress. The Glee Club, Tri Alpha, and Wichaka testify as to her social adaptability, and she can count too. S. C. A. work proved it. ANN PLAVN1CK Could it be that Ann ' s hair has blazed her way 1 Red was the Bea- con ' s Girls ' Sports Editor until she became Editor-in-chief. She ' s an R girl, in Orchestra A. Commcrcul Honor, Tri Alpha and Audubon Clubs. PHILIP POTASH What a German -student 1 Phil is a member of the German Club and also helps in the printing of the Bea- con.

Tri Alpha, the band, and the Kipi Staff claim her membership. DOROTHY RAFTENBURG Dorothy has had her fingers in al- most all dramatic productions since she entered Park. She played the part of Jo in Little Women. She was assistant secretary of the Student Council and on the Honor Roll every semester. ETHEL RASMUSSEN Is Ethel always bored, or does she lust look that way? The Student Council, Glee Club, Wichaka, Com- mercial Honor, and French Clubs were Ethel ' s activities. She was also an S. C. A. cashier and on the Honor Roll three semesters. GERLIND INDIA RAUWORTH Gary grew up in a hurry and cut off her long curls much to our regret. What ' s there left to yank? She was in the dramatics tournament, belongs to Tri Alpha, and is on the Kipi and Beacon Staffs. _ RUTH M. REEP Despite the fact that she ' s a perfecl fit for her nickname, Midge, Ruth can dance and dance and dance, evsn with the tallest! Otherwise quiet and unassuming, she has danced around in Wichaka throughout her three years at Park High. DAVID RENDALL Being one of our students who com- mute between the farm and Park, silent Dave hasn ' t had much time for activities at school, but when he gets out in the great outdoors (Rendall Hayfield), he ' s plenty active. MICHAEL RITKEVICZ Mike insists that he is terribly bash- ful. We wonder about that. What uith his football, track, basketball, and boys ' R Club, fishing and trav- eling, he is Benny Meroff ' s sport. Mike and Mae sounds nice, doesn ' t it 1 V MARY LOUISE ROBINSON Peanuts took a liking to honors and early in high school took to the Honor Roll .inJ Commercial Honor Club, at the same time serving on Student Council. Glee Club, S. C. A ., Tn Alpha, and Wichaka are the rest of her program. CHESTER ROSS The Senior A treasurer is blonde but not light ' headed. Quiet, but not thick-headed. (.letting on the Stu- dent Council and the Honor Roll in- dicates that. Besides, basketball players have to think last, and basket- ball and football are Chet ' s special- ties. JEAN RUFFNER Wonder how many times we ' ve lumped when Jean spoke, and how nervous we were until we discovered it wasn ' t a mouse. She belonged to the Commercial Honor Club and the Glee Club, and has been alternate Student Council representative J yj ' fft- JOHN A.

Attracted by the Gerrr an Club, he has one term credit- years of chasing the track has conditioned him tor his paper route. TED NELSON SAVIDES And when I get to the White House, 1 promise — Who is it 1 Oh, it ' s Ted running tor president again. Remember, he was president of the Student Council and Hi-Y. vice- president of the Stamp Club, and spoke ' like a president in debate MARION B. SCHELLER Marion doesn ' t come to school lust tor what she can learn about this and that in her classes. She likes to talk and to sing, too, it one mav ludge troin u semesters spent in ( ' lee Club, h k y i ROBERT SCHEUSS A happy-go-lucky sort of fellow, this Scheuss. nevertheless he has his serious moments. He ' s an athlete too, track and football, and a popular clubman — Hi-Y, Cartoon, and Rifle Club— whose cheerful motto is Be happy and re-Joyce . GUST A V SCHILLER Wie geht ' s, Gus? The ex-Vice President of the German Club knows his German but is rather quiet in any language. Can he shoot? Don ' t ask? Hunting is his favorite sport and when Gussie goes a-hunting no one goes a-wanting. LOIS SCHMIDT A personification of wim, wigor, and witality . Just imagine belong- ing to a high school swimming club. Pat did before she left North Division High in Milwaukee. She was a mem- ber ot the Girl Reserves. G. A. A., Glee, Spanish, and English clubs there, too. ' ■CARL SCHROEDER Ach, vat a German ' is this man 1 Never shake hands with him it you have any use for your hand. His school work ' s a side-line to the Stu- dent Council. Audubon. Kipi Staff, and being vice-president ot the ( ;er man Club. JOHN D. SEATER The ball came whizzing through the air, the batter swung and missed, striking out. The boy who threw that lire ball was Johnny, one ot the best sand-lot pitchers in town. Bas- ketball also intrigues Johnny FRIEDA SE1FERT Our dependable Frieda! The girl well on the road to success in the commercial world. She belonged to Commercial Club, and how many times did she turn out to be your life saver in the Book Exchange FERNE SHATTUCK Small and sweet; dainty and de- |uiet and cute that i Besides this, she can work hard, as her work as an honor student, n Club, and the Glee Club proves. CATHERINE SHEAHAN Do you see that group over there and do you hear that voice above all the others? That is Catherine ex- plaining something about chemistry. She was on the Kipi staff and is an E Student, having been on the Honor Roll several times. NEWELL A. SHERWOOD Its ' a wonder these farmers, Sher- wood and Merrill, wouldn ' t move into town with the civilized folks. With all those Indians we ' ve heard about, he might wake up dead some morning? No danger, Newell ' s Glee Club war whoop will scare them away. . IDA SHOVERS What pretty blue eyes you kate ' The better to wink with, my deaV? Have her eyes anything to do with her Milwaukee week-ends ' Her ac- tivities? She belongs to the German, Commercial Honor, Wichaka, and Glee Clubs. JENNIE SHOVERS A corps of sleuths hunted in vain, but disappointment thwarted their efforts at finding hidden mistakes in Jennie ' s past. We did find out that she is an excellent Student, a member of the Tn Alpha Club and the French Club. ADRIAN SILVER What a man, what a man, folks. He can sing, he can dance, and is he funny? Just ask him. He ' s a com- posite of Crosby, Stone, and Cantor. He verified the truth of this statement himself, so we know we ' re right. DORIS SILVER Student Council, a dramatics pro- duction, Tn Alpha, French, and Honor Roll. Besides she ' s always going to either Milwaukee or Chicago. What ' s the main attraction, we wonder! Is it strange that her head nods sleepily sometimes 7 IRVING S. SILVER Fourteen hundred Park High stu- d:nts can ' t be wrong — and they ' ll tell you that he ' s dark and handsome. He plays football, basketball, tennis, and goes out tor track. What more could one ask? Sh — Horlick has some big attraction for him. SENIOR A ' S ANNE D. SINSKY Anne is another one of the people who prefer study period to any other class. She helped in three dramatics productions and likes to play basket- ball and hockey. We ' ll let you in on a little secret; her favorite pastime is dancing. NORMAN E. SKELTON From being The Swan ' s little brother as a sophomore. Norm grew up to be a member of the Glee Club. He ' s of- ten been the direct object of Miss Collier ' s favorite quotation, They have ears; yet they hear not. TINA SKOVER Silence is golden! Sh — . Here is Tina, and that is her motto, or should be. She has quietly belonged to the Commercial Honor and German Clubs, and has less quietly belonged to the Glee Club for six semesters. LILLY SKOWSTED We ' ve all seen that blue Auburn; we ' ve all seen Lilly dash out of school towards that car. Still we know she has found time to belong to the Ger- man Club, Commercial Club, Kipi Staff, and Wichaka. What-a-girl 1 LEO FRANK SLANA What is this world coming to 7 Leo, otherwise known as Pee Wee, has a weakness for modeling. Take it any way you will. How can one person be so original 7 After hearing him in English class, you ' d know how. GORDON SMALE Some of our student won ' t give the world a break. Gordy sits cooped up in high school With Piccard. Beebe, and Einstein racking their brains over their problem without him. With all his brains, he stoops to wrestle. LOUISE MARY SMIEDING More reasons for looking up to Louise: Executive Editor of the Bea- con, recording secretary of Quill and Scroll, National Honor Society mem- ber, French Club treasurer, S. C. A. cashier, and senior class secretary. Nutf? sas •y CORNELIA R. SMITH Peggy has garnered most of the honors Park has to offer anJ joined practically every club except the Hi-Y National Honor Society, Commercial Honor vice-president. Quill and Scroll Girls ' R , vice-presidency ot the Student Council, editor-in-chief ot the Beacon, Kipi Staff, Tri Alpha, etc. .etc. GOLDIE SOFKA Goldie doesn ' t say much, hut, ,u her name indicates, she shines with a wealth of knowledge beneath that silent exterior. Latin is her favorite subject, and, by the way, Goldie wields a mean bat when it comes to baseball. OTTO E. SOMMERFELD We think Otto should have Baron put in front of his name to go with that regal bearing, nicht wahr 1 Any- way Otto is one person in school who didn ' t learn his German from a text- book. Otto ' s greatest fear seems to be that he may some day overwork. JANE M. SORENSEN Jane has scaled a number of Park ' s peaks, the top of the Honor Roll, the Kipi Staff, the Cartoon Club, the typ- ing class. She has also reached at least the upper levels in orchestra, girl ' s athletics, and Student Council. PHILIP W. STEFFENSON From commercial to singing might seem a big Step, but Phil has been a member ot the Commercial Honor and Glee Clubs. Love Me cups, and English VI class seem to be his weak- nesses. SHELLEY STEINEKE Band and orchestra both claimed his services as a French horn artist, for he never hits a blue note. Cafe- teria music — tray and dish ensemble — improved under his light touch. And at the Junction, he sang while cranking the gas. EDMUND STIRLE Whose is that deep, sonorous, bass voice heard in the Boys Glee Club 1 It belongs to none other than Eddie. Wait, there ' s more. Have you ever watched him play tennis 1 It not, that ' s something for you to look for- ward to. : t; r SENIOR A ' S JESSIE KATHRYN SWENSEN Park ' s smilingTri Alpha, Audubon, French Club member. Incidentally, Mr. Wall ' s office every fifth period claims her undivided attention. Why? Do you remember the play TheChrifl- ma.% Party in the dramatics t na- ment? Remember Jessie? EUGENE SZYMCZAK Many a female head turned in Eugene ' s direction when he passed, but he was oblivious to all. His heart was in his sports, especially tennis. Still, he had time to belong to Rifle and Glee Clubs. ESTHER THOMPSEN Me thought I heard a voice cry, Sleep . . . . This is Station H-O-L-T, Esther broadcasting her memory work amid much brain-racking. The ice rinks at the Zoo and Washington Park are her favorite winter play- grounds. LOREN THOMPSON A future professor, who can tell? His favorite studies are trigonometry and chemistry, and to top it off his favorite pastime is reading. A fair start, don ' t you think ' ' He ' s also studying Esperanto. WILLIE THOMSEN Willie is another Dane who made good in a big way. His activities in the Commercial Club, his singing 111 the Glee Club, and his play on the Golf team nominate him for Park ' s hall of fame. May his future be equally noteworthy. ROSEMARY M. TOEPPE Their loss is our gun A- i Senior B, Rosemary transferred from Saint ( latherine ' s to Park. That I I only brief acquaintance, i ut just give her a cham e ind wi we shall see! RAYMOND J TOPPING A peach of a boy, altf h tte ti igree with anyoni bank cashier. Wonder it he to dance while dodging missiles in Boys ' Rifle Club or in 321? At any rate, he can wait;. WESLEY P. TRADEWELL Here we have an all-around athlete. Wes has gone out for football, basket- ball, and track. He cuts his hair short to give him that stream-like appear- ance. He is now assisting coach Ziehell in football. PERRY TRIGGS One thing we can say tor Perry, he doesn ' t put t ' at stickum, otherwise known as Brilliantine, on his flaming locks. Perry brightened the Glee Club and the Beacon Staff with his presence and was president of the French Club. MILDRED TURNER She is a tall girl with a great big smile. Prolonged investigating by our investigation department has re- sulted in no clues as to the details of her private life Her public life shows that she puts her work before pleasures. CATHERINE VAKOS Here ' s a little Latin shark for you. She is not so dumb in her other stud- ies either as her name on the Honor Roll testifies. However, since Katie ' s a Tn Alpha member, she must be in- terested in lest intellectual things also. KAY VAKOS It ' sKay-O. K. ' toeveryone. And did you ever see anyone so busy! al- ways going places, always doing things. That ' s how she got to be Business Manager of the Beacon and a member of the Quill and Scroll and the Student Council. LUCILLE M. VALLEY A violet by a mossy stone, hall hidden from the eye; fair as a star when only one is shining in the sky. And so we find we have our modern Lucy to fit Wordsworth ' s well known lines. GUST VOORLAS Mr. Wilbur ' s pride and joy. Gust. the phvsics marvel of the twentieth century, can manipulate mathematics in a manner that would make Pytha- goras look pale. He also knows the precise and psychological moment when to say nothing. A ' ' MS m ! SENIOR A ' S MARY KATHER1NE WAGNER Why, you ' ve wondered, didn ' t American Spirit wring cries of tor- ture from Mary as it did from the rest of us? Perseverance and an aptitude for hard work are qualities which enabled Mary to gnn — and in greatest sympathy — at her groaning class- mates. HELMER WANGGAARD There is a Webster Dictionary in every room. That ' s the only way Park students can keep up with Hel- mer. Debating is his strong point al- though he has belonged to the Hi-Y and Glee Clubs, and became dramatic in Coc Rohm. LEE W1ECHERS Woody is so popular that even Tn Alpha wanted him Anyway, he got notice to that effect. Maybe they wanted to get the secret of his curly blond hair. We think he uses paper curlers every night. LUCILLE W1SBY Wisby can be heard to say ' most any time, Oh, why do I have to have freckles? but then to console herself she adds that they ' re a mark of dis- tinction. Wichaka is the only club to which she devotes any of her spare time. WALTER F. WITT We nominate Walter to the hall of fame for his irrepressible humor which has become contagious among sen- iors. Maybe that ' s the cause of the numerous chuckles heard at German meetings. And can he make his violin laugh in Orchestra! PHYLLIS H. WYMAN Phil ' s favorite pastime is writing essays — the funny part of it is she ad- mits it. She has served as the presi- dent of a Wichaka committee. Just ask Phil if she is planning to he a pro- fessional fire-eater sometime. She ' ll understand. JOSEPHINE ZAKAS Seeing that Jo is kept so busy with her one and only , no wonder she has no chance to become active in school affairs. Those womanly wiles and charm are certainly captivating, aren ' t they, Mr. Ricchio? . i • - T ERIC ZIERT E-Z on the student council one semester. E-Z with the German Club for another. E-Z president ol the Radio Club. Still E-Z takes life in general E-Z. One exception: football! Rival gridders found him far Irom E-Z. JOHANNA ZISCHEWSKY Perhaps some day Jo will go to Europe to prove to the French and Germans she can speak as well as they can, or almost. She was a member ot the G A. A., the French and Com- mercial Clubs, and was on the Honor Roll and Kipi Staff. WILLIAM F. ZUNKE Sh! his middle name is Fred ci I The cash register in cafeteria is - ' in- to miss the daily dozen (or two he performed on it every day. Bill likes to play on land off) of horns in Band, too. BEATHON ADAMS A girl looked at him! Sh! He ' s blushing! But, folks, he ' s not like that when blowing that big baritone sax. He claims his favorite pasrime is making models. Oh! Oh 1 This is Wally Winchell signing off, ever -., body. N HAROLD ANDERSEN Ah modesty! Harold was never born to blush unseen. This author of a series of books on How to Play Basketball, who has underlined every pronoun referring to himselt, is on the Beacon Printing Start and in the Glee Club. WALTER ANDERSEN Golden thoughts — not in a carl jaJ they ' re, all n Andersen, them The play Hours bears the marks of his Swimming, sleeping, and gym favorite spurt- pastil ( ' in you blame him ' ' lought Walter Mar (jet talent. are his Studies. JEROME ANDERSON • If he haJU ' date hectk. it would look like a telephone directory. He listed his fijvonte ; irchitecture. bu Twe thought her name was Ruth ffrry, in addition, is on Pari Kail squad and belongs to the Hi-Y. SENIOR A ' S and B ' S LILLIAN ANDERSON Lillian seems to like action. She types to limber up her fingers, dances to exercise her teet, sang in !lee Club to develop her vocal chords, and plays baseball which is bound to pep her up completely. MURIEL AUSTIN Yes sir, Muriel likes the terpsichore- an art or (so you needn ' t disturb the dictionary) Muriel is fond ot dancing. She was a most attractive tlapper with earrings, paint, drawl, ' n everything. in Marker Hours. And she is a Wichaka girl. ELIZABETH BARR Betty, a home-loving girl, enjoys her sewing.

Shorty has been on the Stu- dent Council, a member of Science Club, and his favorite sports are tennis and more tennis. WILLIAM C BURTON As the manager of the football team Billy has carried water buckets and smelling salts for the past two years. He spends some of his spare time at the Hi-Y meetings. And didn ' t he make the perfect hero in The Christmas Party? FREDERICK A. CAPE Fred is the kind of person one likes to call a regular fellow . That he possesses not only manly shoulders but a wise head as well is proved be- yond any doubt by his activities in the Dramatics Department, Student Council, and Rifle Club. GUILBERT CHRISTENSEN Gibbie has been S. C. A. cashier and a member of the football squad for three years. Football experience comes in handy when it comes to pushing his car around, so he ' s com- ing back for another year on the squad. JEROME CHRISTENSEN A tall, handsome fellow who ' s quiet in school, but outside, lust ask him. Jerome is Miss DuFour ' s right- hand man. He has also been on the Beacon Staff; so he has had a chance to express his opinion if he wished to do so. JEAN CHRISTOPHERSON And here ' s another Tn Alpha girl. She was a member for five semesters and never missed a meeting. Oh, Yeah? Added to this is her ability at figures as is shown by her record as an S. C. A. cashier. FRANK CHUDOVSKY Heap-big, strong, silent man — that ' s Frankie. Who can resist him 1 It ' s a cinch the girls can ' t. He ' s got that certain something in his smile, but he ' s not a crooner, so that makes it even more pujiling. J . k ft i SENIOR B ' S JOSEPH CITO You have heard of those silver- tongued orators — well, Joe isn ' t made like that. Even if he doesn ' t have much to say in class, he certainly knows how to use his voice in Glee Club, and a certain young lady seems to enioy it also. EVELYN CLAUSEN It seems that Evie ' s always already smiling, or all ready to smile. A mem- ber of Commercial Honor Club, she does get to a few meetings. She has been in the Glee Club for several semesters and sang in the May Music Festival. DONALD COLMAN One of the small men of Park who seems to have drawing power. He is always seen down at Ross ' s school ot dancing accompanied by one or more fair maidens. Oh! Donald, what is this power you have over girls? ROSE COMMODORE Never s peak unless spoken to must be Tony ' s motto. Quiet as she may be, we certainly missed her during her long absence from school. She likes typing, dancing, and playing in- door, and has belonged to the Glee Club for several semesters. LEONA CREERY Who would ever think that this demure little miss would belong to so many clubs — she is a member of the Beacon Staff, the Glee Club, Tn Alpha, and French Club not to men- tion the Kipi Staff and the Honor Roll. JANET DELONGE Here we have a French girl at least by name. She has belonged to Stu dent Council and Tn Alpha for four semesters and to French Club tor five. She was also S. C. A. cashier. For a French girl, however, she ' s exception- ally quiet and blonde. ERCOLINO DE MARCO Why is it that a thinker and poet should be the first one out of every class at dismissal? One would think he was a carpenter ' s son the way he makes bolts tor the door at the end of each period. _ c i FRANK D1SBROW A wizard at algebra when in the right mood, and how he slays ' em on the clarinet. He has been a Beacon feature writer, band member, bank cashier, member of the Stamp Club, and a member of the Honor Roll. LILLIAN DZINDZELETA Besides being on the Student Coun- cil and Commercial Honor Club tor a while, working on the Kipi, belong- ing to Wichaka, and helping on a dra- matics production, Lillian shines when it comes to proving that those folk dances can be danced. JOE ELL WOOD, Jr. Where, oh where, did you get that voice 1 His theme song, by the way, is Sweet Sue . Bass voice, curly hair, broad shoulders, and smile make some combination ! He has been on the football team and in the Hi-Y. EUGENE ENGLISH Paderewski has nothing or. Eugene concerning the matter of flowing locks. After the weekly shampoo, his toupee flies hither and yon. He wore Tradewell out wrestling. You know, English is rather heavy for Wes to throw around all gym period. SARAH EVADNA EVANS Singing in the Glee Club undoubt- edly gives Sarah Evadna her beautiful speaking and singing voice that we all recognize so easily. It rings, but how ' ' She has belonged to the Glee Club for five semesters and also to Audubon. GEORGE FICKENSCHER Never the twain shall meet , but George hails from Horhck and seems to be getting along beautifully at Park. Horlick lost his help on its football team, Park gained another conscientious man. We ' re satisfied with the outcome. WILMA FIEDLER As almost all of Wilma ' s friends call her Willie , we shall too! Willie ' s one ot those cheerful girls always ready with a smile tor every- one, especially in her French class. She has belonged to Wichaka, French, and Glee Clubs. SENIOR B ' S JANE FILANDRINOS Jane ' s a happy sort ot person. ( ilce Club, in which she was enrolled tor four semesters, holds first place in her affections; and singing indicates a happy trame of mind. She was an attendant to the Queen at the Y Carnival. FLISS own Babe Didnkson 1 MATHILDA A. Tilhe, We prophesy that Tilhe will be the bright and shining star ot the 1936 Olympics. She is an R girl, mem- ber of Girls ' Athletic Association, Junior Championship Basketball and Hockey teams, and Wichaka. JU1LA INEZ FORNARY Here is another instance of an R girl who carries a little instrument in a black case wherever she goes. Julie is on the Kipi Staff, plays in the band and orchestra, and belongs to the Girl ' s Athletic Association. CLEMENS FRERES Hail the future Einstein! Here is a list of his achievements: the Kipi Staff. Debate Team, Debate Club, Audubon Club, S. C. A. cashier. Writers ' Club, and he las climbed the hard road to the Honor Roll several times. OTTO FREIMUND, Jr. In addition to being a scientist of some note (at least he joined the Science Club) Otts carved himself a niche in Park ' s financial world by his, services as bank cashier. Boy ' got talentL ELMER GAREY Over six feet tall and ItwSks taller when he wears knickers, vrle could play the part of the Baron Munchau- sen. He has belonged to the Senior Hi-Y, Student Council, and has been a captain ot an intramural t ; m. EARL A. GEIGER Curly transferred to Park from St. Catherine ' just in tune to be too Lite to get .1 good e,it in roll call room, so he was ruler of the table. He likes baseball, reading, and study- ing English. Every man to his taste. - L RUBY GEISSNER Ruby is another one of the different girls. By that we mean she ' s quite frank in saying just what she thinks of a person and even though she seems to he kidding, you can ' t be sure she isn ' t serious. BENEDICT GELMUS They say the greatest men in his- tory have been small. Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Caesar and -Benny surely was a Napoleon in the Chess Club, where he caused plenty of grief in the ranks of his opponents. GEORGE GENZLER There ' s one and only one George Genzler at Park and you can ' t miss him. Then, too, perhaps you ' ve heard him announcing the scout pro- gram over Station W. R. J. N. He and his cornet are in both senior and junior hands. FRANCES E. G1BOV1CH My name is hard to spell, but I ' d surely hate to change it. She doesn ' t know the meaning of idleness. She worked diligently in the Library, and she knows her numbers to 999 perfectly. She ' ll get your number! MILDRED GLADYS Milly and her cashier jobs! She ' ll be a bank cashier yet after she grad- uates. To prove her ability, she was a school bank cashier for four semesters and S. C. A. cashier for one. She has also belonged to the Glee Club. GERALD GLOCKSON Now did you know that Gerry left St. Catherine ' s to come to Park ' ' He tells us that he likes to fish and swim and his favorite Study is German but that best of all he likes to loaf, has plenty of company there! MARIE GOULEY Al- Here, there, everywhere! ways laughing, always gay. Marie uses some of her extra pepjil be- longing tQ clubs and countijjgfN :kels and dimes — Glee club, ComS rcial Honor Club, Wichaka, LiCaty luh, S.C. A. cashier, bank ca ' shieT tc. etc. SENIOR B ' S ELROY M. HAMMES There is a missing link proving Darwin ' s theory; just ask Elroy. He is a pretty Straight shooter since he has been a member of the Rifle Club, member of the Senior Hi-Y, out for boy ' s football and basketball. BETTY JANE HANSON A girl of many activities; namely, member of Beacon Staff, Audubon Club, Debate team, and Senior Glee, and S. C. A. cashier, Tri Alpha secre- tary, Debate team vice-president. Yet she has found time to be on the Honor Roll. ROY HANSEN My, my, what a man! Concerning his humor it must have originated at the burning of Rome. He has been active in school lite having been on the Honor Roll, member of Commer- cial Club, and — also cashier in the cafeteria. EDMUND HARNETT We received a glimpse of Edmund ' s ability last November when he was stumping tor the Republican party, and if events cast a shadow before they come, Eddie will be a swell campaign manager tor some aspiring politician. FLOYD HEARY He ' s been here so long, we wonder how he got on the Honor Roll two semesters. We also wonder which he spends the most time on — the radio, baseball, or history. It ' s Miss Per- ham ' s fault, if it ' s history. JEROME HENKF.L Someone should reproach him for the cruel way he breaks the hearts of the young ladies of his acquaintance. Going out for football, being bank cashier, and belonging to French Club have occupied his time during his high school career. ALVIN J. HFRTZBERG Al, the pride of Democracy, was a member of the Kipi Staff, Science, and Audubon Clubs and the Dramatics Production, Mdr et hours He held the ofl ce of president in the Chess Club, and his favorite line of talk is argument. • EARL HIATT Pee-Wee is one ot the unsung heroes who devote their time after school to chasing around for members of the basketball squad, and. being a glutton for punishment, he also un- derwent the rigors of a Hi-Y initiation. , ALFREDA G. HODGES After the after-school games tor the girls working for their R ' s , one can hear Freda warbling in the shower rooms. She must be practicing tor Glee Club. She ' s an R girl, a mem- ber of the G. A. A. and the French Club. KENNETH HOFFMAN Have you ever seen Kenny bash- fully hanging his head when someone is being introduced to him 7 Don ' t tier expect to! Besides being a Hi-Y, French Club, and Student Council member, Kenny ' s in the orchestra and even has one of his own. ANNE HOLLY Here we have a member of the German Club, who professes that her favorite Study is German. She was a member of the Wichaka and the Glee Club, but went in mainly tor swim- ming, dancing, tennis, and basketball, which helped her win her R . ADOLPH HOLl ' R Not all our great men have been great Students in school. We hope this gives Ade a little consolation. He is a member ot Senior Glee Club and has been out for football ever since he has been in Park. MARGARET HORVATH Mugs seems to be an unpaid ad- vertisement for Wrigley ' s gum. Be- tween chews, she manage- to . arr on a lengthy conversation I- it gum- chewing that hinders her German enunciation 1 Otherwise she keeps her activities quiet. BORGHILD HOST AD Judging from dail) a contend that Butts should be a speech teacher, for she certainly has had her ih ire of pi i rice. She is training t n dramatics too, because she hel] i ■ in the tournament. m SENIOR B ' S SIDNEY HULBERT He beats Frit; Kreisler, and what a baseball player! He is baseball- minded and proves it in the empty lot across the street. Ot course, all great men have weaknesses: Sid likes English. He ' s such a nice fellow, too! CARL E 1VERSON He who lives for pleasure must for pleasure fall. Carl likes to ride his bicycle at night without a light, at the risk of his ribs. He also specializes in football and basketball and likes to play indoor. BERNARD A. JANOT Berme likes to work jig-saw puzzles when he ' s not playing indoorball. Then ot course, there ' s Charlotte. He hopes to heat Johnny Weismuller some day in swimming, hut at present fishing is the extent of his aquatic ac- complishments. BERN1GE CAROL JENSEN With a song in my heart. Is it any wonder she belonged to the Glee Club? She ' s one of the girls that con- trol a racket I tennis I. And can she play? Even if she couldn ' t play, she ' d win with her smile.

MARY JUDICKI Pretty, popular, and a hard worker, Chickie is a member of the Glee Club, Commercial Honor Club, and Wichaka, and her name is usually to be found somewhere near the top of the honor roll. CHARLES L. KAIRIS If any local maidens wish to drown, don ' t pick a day when Sharley (no re- lation to Baron ' s Sharley) is on duty as a Racine Life Guard because he ' s some swimmer. He has also been out for track. He probably believes in swim, vigor, and vitality. ANNIE RUTH KANEVSKY Annie is one of the busiest girls of the school. She is busy just all the time. She made the Honor Roll twice and belonged to the Commercial Honor Club, Wichaka, and the Beacon Staff. HELEN JEAN KEHL Distinctive, that ' s Helen Jean ' s laugh. There ' s no resisting it, es- pecially when there ' s gum to be had in French class. She spent time under the trees drawing for art, was a mem- ber of Tn Alpha, and secretary- treasurer of the French Club. J I A .. THEODORE JOHN KOHLMAN Yes, folks, here is one of the original reasons for the success of Park High ' s Glee Club, and, believe it or not, he owes all his success to many hours of practice singing in the bathtub. - - ' M SENIOR B ' S WESLEY MILTON KORAN We all heard Coach call this man fast in football. Although it is hard to imagine speed from Wes, we know he makes exceptionally good ballast for the sea-scouts. Wes is also a mem- ber of the Hi-Y club. EARL G. KOVARA Sis-boom-bah ! Yeah, I ' m Mike. Have you ever seen such twinny twins? If popularity went according to height, can you imagine how swamped the boys would be if they were six footers? And how they tumble at their cheering job! ERVIN KOVARA I ' m Ike! This 50% has given adequate proof of 100 c musical talent. For a time he played in the orchestra but finally was lured into the band. Somehow, the general sus- picion is that those blue nd orange uniforms were a fascinating induce- ment. GORDON E. KRAGH Gordon ' s hair might be of a rather quiet shade of red, but he likes sports exciting enough for a flaming redhead. Skiing is his favorite, but when the weather forbids soaring on skus, Red consoles himself by letting his voice soar in Glee Club. MICHAEL KREWAL Michael goes along quietly paying attention to hardly anything else but his Studies such as chemistry and office practice. The latter is his fav- orite study. Baseball is his pet sport, and he likes to experiment with radios ROGER LANGE Rod ' s favorite pastime was being absent from school. Where did he get his excuses? Being absent from school didn ' t keep him from belong- ing to the Archery Club and Radio Club (at Horlick), nor haunting -the Cedar Bend tennis courts ARLISS LARSON Don ' t tell me you haven ' t heard about my operation 7 Why, really . . Although that is Artie ' s most beloved topic, she also wrinkles her brow about other matters, for she was chosen as Amy for the Senior Class play and president of Wichaka ' s Financial Committee. HELEN LASSEN Helen must wear glasses because she sees spots in front of her eyes. She worked a spot in In the ' Icne, she aimed at spots in the Rifle Cluh, and she holds down a spot on the Kipi Staff picture. KENNETH UNDQUIST Kenny prefers Luckies because they ' re kind to his throat . Kenny needs this protection because he plays the bugle in the Racine Boy Scout Drum Corps. Regardless of this, he says, he ' d rather sleep than do any- thin else. 1 LORENCE MAGNUSSON Oh, in a plaintive voice, I wish my Will ur would come for me. (Wilbur being an angel, not in dis- guis;, but in a tan Studebakerl. Florence carries a bag filled with books home every night — but why? But Latin is a bit disconcerting you know. RUSSELL MAPES What, no nickname ' ' With hair as red as his. he should be called Blondie . Being rather short. Red had to do hi s durndest to be heard if not seen in the last row of the mighty first semester Glee Club. ANITA MARCUSSEN Anita stopped talking once and fell asleep. But Anita usually does make talking worth while. She was awarded second place in the pre- liminary of the State Forensic Contest and secured the part of Mrs. March in Little Women . She has worked in the Library, too. JOHN MEIER All right, Johnny, come out of the shell of that turtle-necked sweater and show us what you can do. We got a glimpse of hi ' ability during last basketball season but that ' s as far as he has extended himself et. WILLIAM MERTINS A member of the Three Muske- teers of which the other two are Otto Sommerfeld, Harold Gewalt! Some orgam:ation ' Yes, he has it the most dreaded thing, tat, but par- don me. it might be muscle, or some- thing or other. SENIOR B ' S WALTER C. MICKELSON A good shot (see the records of the Rifle Club); good actor (star of Market Hours); good financier (he has had practice as bank cashier); good Ger- man (if three semesters in the German Club prove anything); in fact, good fellow 1 WALTER MIELKE Wally is what is known in algebra as the unknown quantity, because he never has shown us just what he can do. But we think he ' s biding his time to break into the hall of fame after graduation. If effort helps, he ' ll get there. ANN MIRUCH Diminutive Ann, so small that she is sometimes called Mousie . She fiddled her way into orchestra and what she does to that violin! She can take Rubinotf ' s place soon when the strain between Eddie Cantor and Rubinoff becomes too great. KENNETH W. MOWRY Park should have Kenny for an official windbreaker at football games. If you ' re lucky enough to sit behind him — no more chills. Remember his and Alvin ' s coming out in those can%-as coats with the different colored patterns on them 1 OTTO NASTICKY Swish — That ' s how Nashang likes to make the net go when he ' s playing his favorite game, basketball. He was one of the baritones in the senior Glee Club and also swished his pen in the Cartoon Club. He ' s a pleasant fellow anywhere. GILBERT H. NEHODA Gibby could be Clara Bow ' s lead- ing man. Besides having it he is well supplied with musical talent He gets lots of exercise playing the saxaphone in orchestra and using his vocal cords in Glee Club. LOUIS NELSON Louie ' s favorite pastime i ing. He managed to participate in the activities ol the Kipi Staff and De- bate. Stamp, Audubon, and Science clubs. Louie was an honor stu- dent and is among the lustiest cheerers at basketball games. fltf MURIEL NELSON Have you ever heard Mona go tweet-tweet on her piccolo? Besides, she plays the viola in the orchestra. She was S. C. A. cashier all through high school. Tri Alpha claimed her, too. Quite a lot for a little girl. ESTHER NIELSEN Esther is so quiet that someone re- marked, ' She probably opened her mouth in the cafeteria. Being bank cashier for two semesters didn ' t re- quire much loquaciousness on her part. Her pretty sweaters have been bright spots in this school. HELEN NERENBERG Did she come from Germany? We wonder. Anyway, her name sounds like it, and she -studies German. She is another one of the quiet girls who are in the Household Arts depart- ment. She sang in the Music Festival. SYLVIA NYGREN r Sylvia ' s ambition is to find a home for stray dogs and cats. She likes the combination of reading and holding her white k-i-t-t-y pussy. She was on the production crew ot In the Zone, and she belonged to Wichaka. LEONA L. OLSEN Lee came to us from way out in Oregon. She has shown us what she can do by making good in the Glee Club and also Tn Alpha. She loves to play golf, and her favorite studv is art. We ' re grateful to Oregon, Leona ! RUSSELL OLSEN When Russ transfered from Bur- lington, all the girls sighed and stopped praying. But he consistently refused to be snared by any designing female and spent his time studying. Result ' Some broken hearts and another mem- ber on the honor roll. IRENE OLSON Even Galli Curci had her troubles. That should serve to cheer Irene. Irene was a Beacon reporter, is a mem- ber of Senior Glee Club, and has been a member ot Wichaka for three semes- ters. SENIOR B ' S MARGARET OLSON Perfect order and silence would reign in Park High if everyone were like Mugs. Teachers, how about iC She belongs to the Beacon, Commer- cial Honor Club, Wichaka, and the orchestra. She ' s also an honor stu- dent. VELMA A. OSIM1TZ Ah 1 We have another singer in our midst. Ossie has belonged to the Glee Club for a couple of semesters. Along with the Glee Club, she has been interested in the G. A. A. and also the German Club. DOREEN M. OZARD Dorie is one who thinks gym un- necessary for a young girl. Doreen has been in Glee Club, Wichaka, Tri Alpha, and the club where one says Parlez-vous Francais LUELLA PAGE Luella ' s another one ot the girls who spend a lot of time getting points for office practice class dur- ing the day. A glee club member and assistant bank cashier for awhile, she says she likes algebra, reading, and basketball. GERTRUDE PARADISE Here ' s a girl who came trom Ger- many. No wonder she belonged to the German Club. She belonged also to the Senior Glee Club and swims, dances, rides, and plays tennis. Ach. what these Germans can ' t do! MARGARET PARKER After being bank cashier, a mem- ber of Tri Alpha, Glee Club, and Car- toon Club, Tiny still hi time to be an honor student and to use that warm, friendly smile that makes the grouchieSt of us grin. MARY JANE PATRICK Pat is quiet in every class except orchestra where she fiddles away with all her might in the second violin sec- tion. Did she join the Chess Club because of some certain-person 1 We think yes. She also belongs to Wichaka. jrffi MARJORIE G. PEDERSON Have you ever noticed those deep dimples that Marge has It not, per- haps you have noticed another double feature she possesses. The ( llee ( ' lub, Wichaka, and the winning In the Zone production crew were among Marge ' s activities. JOE PETERS Did youever hear theone abou t He ' s more tun than a monkey show — with those riddles. His goodnatured- ncss brought him the vice-presidencv ot the Commercial Honor Club. He ' s been on the Student Council and is an honor student ARTHUR R. PETERSEN During school hours Art is a quiet, unobtrusive tellow, but alter 3:15 he hies himself to the rifle range and soon the bullets are flying fas! and furious. He does make confetti out of that target. LEWIS M. PETERSEN The cafeteria started going in the hole and thus ended the career oi this once great potato shnger. For a new occupation he has become a recruit in the junior band and plays the baritone horn with great earnestness. N mATA PETERSEN Good-natured Norm, whose atti- tude toward life is one oi tolerant kindness. It can ' t be very hitter to merit the lovely R that graces her blue sweater. Norm sang in Glee Club, but athletics still retains its place a- her first love. RAGNHILD PETERSEN Pretty, blonde, demure, quiet, she would make the perfect heroine tot a Story. Even her nickname Ronnie tit-, and then, tor lust a bit of variety, she belonged to the Rifle ( Tints. Will ■ up in the worl 1 ' l Ibserve her! GEORGE PETERSON Illness has kept Pel school quite a bit, but he still likes to take part in rough and tumble basket- james during gym class. Not only can he but he can take it.

HORTENSE PIOTROWSKI Pete stands practically in the middle ot the gym and gets the ball in the basket. Some girls stand on the tree throw line, watch her. and then play catch She has been a member of Wichaka for four semesters. THLRON PLACE When not occupied with Ada, Theron may be found shooting rifles in the Rifle Club, or landing in various positions after a ski jump. Besides enjoying outside activities, Theron was S. C. A. cashier and student council alternate. VIRGINIA POTTER Virginia was one ot the hard ing croup ot giris who served under Miss Adam- at tin- athletic banquet. She also got front seats m the Tt i Alph ' I ibrai y and 1 r nch Hub pic- ture-, and that l- a real accomplish- ment. WILLIAM RADEWAN Broken noses, broken n ire Bill ' s troubles. !

She is just like her namesake, only she ' s different. VERNA RICHARDSON Verna doesn ' t care much about history, but how she goes tor bowl- ing, swimming, and singing in Glee Club.

Did you see him wrestle with Rassmussen for 65 minutes last February 7 Besides this noble art of self defense, he took part in football and track events, and has developed into a windy ( ' ' lee Club bass. ft A l iS SENIOR B ' S ESTHER SCHULZ Esther must be a popular girl she was vice-president ot Mp. ten ' s group ot Wichaka tor twA Mas- ters. She belonged to G.Vi.Vi. and German Club. She Was also chairman of properties tor Market Hour a dra ' matics tournament play. MORRIS SHOVERS Morry likes writing, cartooning, and basketball. He was chosen presi- dent of the Cartoon Club his first three semesters, has served on the Beacon and Annual staffs, and will long be remembered as Yank in In the Zone and; Laurie in Little Women. EVELYN IDA SIMONSEN Simie certainly loves to sing; she is a real athlete and she loves good times — thus and so: she naturally belonged to the Glee Club, earned an R , joined the G. A. A., and became an active Wichaka member. BEATRICE F. SOLOMON Business before pleasure, so Bee has decided to make tennis a business. When the score is Love-40 she likes it the best. Don ' t we alP Our small, demure red-head came to us from Pontiac High School in Michigan. HOWARD STACEY Quite a talker in history when there ' s an argument coming up. He got caught up on this habit by taking Dramatics for tour semesters and has also gone through a strenuous test to become a member of the Senior Hi-Y. ALV1NA M. STERNBERG Last year Alvina answered the call of the west and left Park to go to Okahna, Minnesota. Then she came back to Park; only to leave us again. While she was here, she proved that she knew her Latin. CURTIS STUEBER Curt fears the wiles of maidens smiles, but he does not reciprocate the love of his many fair admirers. Morn- ing, noon, and night he can be seen haunting the tennis courts. He must expect to be a second.Bill Tilden. MARELYN STRAND Her mother ' s pnde. her father ' s joy, and her brother ' s accompanist, standby of Wichaka and the French Club, leading lady in the play The Christmas Party, wily watcher of studious workers — Marelyn really needs no further introduction. .3 -.

THEODORE STUPAK Just call me Tedjo he mumbled in his deep husky voice, the voice that boomed away among the bassos in the ( ' .lee Club. Being basketball manager for the 1930-1931 season gave Tedjo ample opportunity to monkey around a lot. y MARION THOMPSON Marion is always quiet, except when playing the piano for the ( ilee Club. She spends some time going to Commercial Club meetings and winning R ' s . One of her particular accomplishments is knocking down little pins with big balls. JOHN C. V1LMANN When you see lofty Johnny rush ' ing down the hall, get out ot his way, because Johnny, who ' s peddled paper so long he should own the local : still possesses the spirit of a young colt. Oh, for some I that extra pep 1 WILFORD WEHRLE There ' s nothing like a yran in life. With his experiei e as S.

CATHERINE THOMPSON Kay ' s one of the girls who never seem hurried yet accomplish much Glee Club. Wichaka. French Club, and the duties of S. C.

VERA WILSON Vera must have a pleas ng voice by this time, because she has been in the ( !lee Club five semesters Maybe its i v that she has 31 1 many friends. She also belongs Jp Tn Alpha. ELIZABETH TREDREA Here is a future secretary tor some- one. Stenography is her special idea of a great time. She seems to teel that hurrying will get her places. At least that ' s the way it looks as she dashes through the halls.

MARGARET ALFORD In spite of the indefatigable efforts of our wiley sleuths, nothing of an incriminating nature has been yet un- earthed in her high school career Readers who can help us out are asked to notify the editor at once. MARY BALDUKAS Who says the modern miss doesn ' t know how to cook and sew? Well, here ' s proof that you ' re wrong, and her talents aren ' t confined to the culi- nary arts. She can play a good game of tennis, too. MARDELL CHENEY With her little round face, with such a musical name, with her un- obtrusive ways and perhaps even a smattering of bashfulness. shall she not be crowned queen of those not yet famous? Though little known by the student body, she has an engag ing smile. ARLONE EVERETT The Green Streak , her car, not ' Arlone. You might catch a glimpse of green as it dashes around corners under Arlone ' s guiding hand while •slae calmly hums and sings. Wonder just what she would do with an aeroplane? EDMUND LEONARD ( !( RSKI Be3n Ed is a salty deck hand whose favorite anchorage is By the drinking fountain two ' fioints off 1 26. His pur- pose in standing there isn ' t exactly nautical, he jujt gazes at tlie girls as they pass and then takes a ' ' ehc v n his toothpick. eVelyn E. JERSTAD Evelyn is a dark-eyed, blonde who seems to enioy the school life at Park She has been a member of the senior Glee club, S.C. A. cashier, and hank cashier. She looks quiet and innocent, hut so does dynamite. ETTA LOUISE KRUCAS Etta ' s one of the girls who pay money tor old books at the book ex- change. When she ' s not knee-deep in money, she likes to play hockey or basketball. She ' s a whiz at writing and transcribing shorthand, too. FLORENCE MADSEN She was no doubt the inspiration for the Cremo Cigar advertisements. Twenty words, no more no less! Her nickname is Bunny . Her nick- name should be Bunny . Will some- body please tell us— is she always so quiet? SENIOR A ' S NIELS K. MADSEN Wanna buy a ticket for a keen roller-skating party? Gee, all the kids from school are going to be there! Were you ever confronted by this young man and his sales talk? That ' s Niels, the ultra-ultra salesman pest. JOE MALINOWSKI Here ' s a fellow that for some rea- son, in some way, by some means, al- ways manages to recite, every time he ' s called on. Shorty says he likes to read. Probably he means school books. And by the by he has dimples. ORVA OLSON It is a wise woman who under- stands men; it is a wiser woman who lets them alone. She may be quiet, but we have heard that when an im- portant question comes up — in En- glish class, for example — Orva ' s opin- ion is usually accepted. HERMAN PAUL ROGNSVOOG Our future mattress-teeter! The art of sleeping has occupied much ot Herman ' s time. He belonged to the Radio Club, and his favorite pastime is poetry. With this combination he might be our future radio announcer and performer. ASTR1 HELENE SAND LE The library ' s financial backing must he replanned when Astri has gradu- ated. Statistics show that she rarely returns a book on time. She displays interest in skiing, reading, and as for walking, how she picks ' em (her feet) up and lays ' em down. MARTHA SEBERU -j Although she must have plenty ot things to do besides school activities Mrs. Seberg has been successful in her schoolwork and attained a place on the honor roll. She likes hunting, fishing, reading, and studying Ger- man. MILDRED SEEGER Mildred surely knows her prices as she has shown in foods class. It pays to work in a grocery store. She has been in the Glee Club for four semesters and likes baseball and roller- skating at school parties. ROSALIE UVEGES A S D F G space H J K. L semi-colon — Rosalie certainly should know the typewriter keyboard by now. It seems that we always see her typing, typing, and typing. Her low voice should be a great help if she does go in training for nursing. SENIOR B ' S LOUIS BECK He ' s the answer to a maiden ' s prayer; who said anything about his beuig the wrong answer? Once upon a time Becky wore one of these blue Racine Military Academy uniforms; f now Park and Tad are honored by his presence. WALFRED BLOME Although Wally wouldn ' t sign a questionnaire, our trained canary found out that he was high man on the honor roll last quarter, received an R in tennis, and was one-half of the team that won the Big Eight Tennis Doubles. LOUIS COSENTINO Poetry is the music of the soul - ask Gee Gee who is one of Park ' s best unknown poets. As poetry, music, and the love of nature go hand in hand, he also was naturally a mem- ber of the Glee Club and track squad. VICTOR HADER Vic is another fellow who likes to hide his light under a bushel basket. We are told he never gives his talents sway till he gets in his workshop at home. Then can he create! Will he come back for post-improvements? WALDEMAR LINDMEYER Naturally, Waldemar gets his nick- name, Lindy, from his last name, but it also tits his modesty When there ' s nothing else to do except study, Lindy passes time by chewing pencils. We wonder, does he get that from Lind- bergh, too? EVELYN OAKLEY Evie is so quiet and shy that we don ' t hear much of her. Wonder why she took Glee Club; she could hardly be heard. If you know her well, you will find she is a peach of a girl, for in friendship her quiet nature is not a liability. EDWARD PETRAS Where ' s the biggest dish? a fa- vorite exclamation of this little boy in cafeteria, and how he can eat pota- toes and ice cream ' He is often mis- taken for a sophomore by his size, but his ideas prove him to be a senior. NINA BELLE RIDDLE She keeps every one of us guessing (oh, for a glance into her private life). Her last name is most appropriate ' And do you remember her arguments in history class? She could out-argue anyone. ROOM 234 11A Adviser Miss Rodefer Council Rep. Walter Liedke Council Alt. Harriet Martin S. C. A. Cashier ..Velda Lanmore ROOM 228 11 A Adviser . .

STUDENT COUNCIL First Semester Albert Pavhc Peggy Smith Robert Howell Dorothy Raftenberg Officers President Vice-President Sxr.tary Assistant Secretary Second Semester Ted Savides Robert Howell Ada Thomsen lean Aber For the firA time the Student Council has this year designed a calendar of activities to be carried out during the season. Such a calendar will probably be made each year here- after. Putting over the Park-Horlick football and basketball games financially, decorating the gym, sponsoring a field day, sponsoring a dance, and with the proceeds printing the hand book for next fall are evidence that such a calendar produces contnbutary activities on the part of this organisation. The Student Council also devised ways and means of presenting Mr. Giese with a gift from the Student body. The chief significance, however, of the Student Council lies in that it sets a standard of character and achievement for the student body of the school. In this respect it is like any honor organisation and should be considered as such. If the Student Council carried out no project whatsoever, its existence would still be justifiable on the basis of the character of the Students belonging to the group. It is an honor to belong to the Student Council, and it is a tribute to the school to have a Student Council, the members of which help to set the tone of the school. Top Row: Miss Case, V. Nelson.

WICHAKA A faculty tea, a boy-girl football supper, a senior farewell party, and a Washington tea are a few of the social activities given by Wichaka. Wichaka thinks not only of social activities but also of service, for it is the Girl Reserve Club of Washington Park High. At Christmas and Thanksgiving the club did service work in the community, while at the beginning of the spring semester, the older girls acted as big sisters ' to .ill new girls. There are one hundred seventy-five members, and in order to make it possible for all girls to take some active part, the club is divided into five smaller clubs, each of which has its own officers and adviser. The smaller clubs meet once every two weeks, while the group as a whole meets once a month. The governing body of Wichaka is a cabinet which con sists of the officers of the club, advisers, and presidents of the smaller clubs. The purpose of the club is to promote the physical, social, moral, and spiritual welfare of the girls of our school through the creation of higher standards of Christian character. It not only tries to serve the school but also to help each member to form her character. Top Row: H. Kehl, V. Day. Roshar, Norton, E. Sand, Behrens, Nigh, Carroll, Downing, Enos, Janes.

Regular meetings are held on alternate Wednesdays in the Music Room. During the school year the different commit. ees of the club sponsor such events as the Mothers ' Day Tea, a Thanksg ving dinner, an Easter egg hunt for th; nursery children at the Central Association, assembly programs, and othir projects, numerous and delightful. The three aims of every Tri Alpha girl are to give friendship, to develop character, and to serve her school. In striving to live up to these principles a girl not only helps others, including her school, but develops in herself personal qualities of leadership and fellowship that will help her long after she has graduated from Park High School.

As a major activity, the club sponsors the Book Exchange for second hand books. Only a small profit is realized on each sale, but the amount of business transacted has grown to such an extent that the small profits enabled the club to restore an oil frieze which formerly hung in the old high school. This frieze now hangs in room 131 . At the monthly meetings many in- teresting speeches of interest to com- mercial students have been delivered In- well-known business men of Racine. In addition, matinee dances, candy sales, roller skating parties, picnics, and theatei parties have been sponsored, ill tend- ing to strengthen among members in- valuable ties ot friendship. $ • rim yV V J 1 aLK X ffl ■ s ' l k1 J w f lit «! if nJ Top Row: P.

An increasing number of students are finding enjoyment in the many fields of the Science Department, and the new club has become a welcome addition. In forming the club the advisers purposed to acquaint the students with ordinary pheno- mena found in physics, chemistry, electricity, biology, astronomy, to develop the under- standing already gained, and to further interest in the subject. Meetings are held every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. At these meetings each student is given an opportunity to present a discussion on some scientific hobby. In chemistry the presentations include preparation of elements such as oxygen, hydro- gen, and chlorine, with experiments to show the reaction of each with other elements. In physics static electricity is the basis for an interesting study of electrical phenomena. In biology, tlower or tree discussions and study of biological laws help to broaden the student ' s appreciation of nature. . Top Row: Hetzel, Scheuss, Heck. R. Olsen. Carlson, Fabish, Cole.

GERMAN CLUB The purpose of the German Club is to acquaint the Student more thoroughly with a knowledge of the life and literature of Germany and its people. The meetings are designed to be entertaining as well as educational. The programs are varied with slides readings, songs, short plays, dances, travel talks, and games. The president, who is chosen from the German 4 class, appoints a special committee for each program, thereby giving everyone an opportunity some time during the year to lead a meeting. Celebration of the natal days of Germany ' s great men and women are often held and a display of portraits or scenes are shown. One meeting a month is held during the class period and one meeting after school. Special meetings with refreshments are held on holidays, e. g. Halloween, Thanksgiving. Christmas, Easter, and Goethe ' s birthday. The last meeting of the year is a Wandering into the woods.

CARTOON CLUB During the past year the Cartoon Club kepi the bulletin boards posted with cartoons which entertained the student body more than ever be- fore in the club ' s history. The purpose of the club is to depict all the phases of school life in cartoons. At the meetings, which are held weekly in Room 312, the various cartoons submitted by the members are discussed and criticized by the en- tire membership. The best cartoons are selected after a vote by the members. Later valuable hints for improvement of the cartoons are given by the club adwser. The Cartoon Club has finished two big pro- jects during the year. It has contributed its ser- vices to the Y. M. C. A. International Carni- val, cutting silhouettes, the profits going to the Y . The members also illustrated Tri Alpha ' s Parl{ Handbook- CHESS CLUB Kings, queens, knights, bishops - not a fairy tale nor a chapter from ancient history — these are honorary titles. They are conferred on the winners of the tournaments held by the Chess Club, organized the last semester of 1932. Results of the tournament found Walter Sattler king and Kathryn Edmund queen. Some times games last as long as two and one- half hours. Very seldom does the group disband before five o ' clock from its regular meeting on Thursday afternoon. One of the problems of the club at first was procuring chess men and boards, but a small fee exacted from each student helped cure this diffi- culty. Some feature army strategists or great thinkers may come from this group, for chess playing teaches one to concentrate and to grasp compli- cated situations quickly. ESPERANTO CLUB Half a century ago Lazarus Ludwig Zamenhof, Russian linguist, formulated an artificial univer- sal language, Esperanto. For a vocabulary he gathered a minimum of words from all languages and invented a system of word-building; for sen- tence structure he gave all parts of speech regular endings with no exceptions. Beginners in the language make rapid progress and because of its logical formation find the Study of Esperanto stimulating and delightful. Esperanto had quite a vogue before the World War: but interest waned then and it is only re- viving again now. No other universal language has successfully competed with it. International conferences, travel, trade, and communication are all immensely aided by its use. The radio and the airplanes may make a universal language imperative. The Esperanto Club of Washington Park High School meets once a week. Beginners also meet to le rn the essentials of the language. Ten meetings are sufficient to cover the textbook. WRITERS ' CLUB The Writers ' Club was organized during the latter half of the 1st semester of 1932-33 by Park students for the purpose of stimulating interest in creative writing. The club members contribute original poems, short Stones, essays, and other pieces of a literary nature. After each meeting a committee seledts the best articles and posts them on the bulletin boards. The club is hoping next year to publish a magazine of original work done by students. One of the projects earned out by the Writers ' Club was the sponsoring of a dance on April 24th. This was the only school dance so far which was held in the Boys ' Gymnasium. The club meets each Tuesday at 3:30 m room 3 IS. The reading and criticizing of student written work occupies the time of the meetings. For a special program, Mr. Speer of this city once gave to the club readings from his own pen. Top Row: L Jensen; Morgan; Behnke (Presi lenl . Carl- son; Mr. James R.irrott (Secretary).

One hundred seventy-five guests attended. Go-To-College week was another activity backed by the Hi-Y for the benefit of those who could not make up their minds as to which school it would be best to attend. The selling of pro- grams at the Park-Horlick game last fall netted the Hi-Y better than $60.00 despite the situa- tion. Field trips (to Chicago on June 3), Vocational Guidance, Book Giving Week, winning the Little Brown Jug as a permanent trophy, a Pa Ma Banquet — these and other activities all helped to fill the program for the Senior Hi-Y year. Always it is one of the major activities of the Hi-Y to compel e ch would-be member to under- go both a formal and informal initiation guaran- teed to make a man of anybody. Each fall Hi-Y initiation time provides entertainment for a large portion of the student body. SOPHOMORE HI-Y The Sophomore Hi-Y club is an organization devoted to the interests of the boys of the first- year class. An activity program consists of dis- cussion meetings, contests, sports, and other out- door activities. The club is still young, but promises to grow into a useful service organiza- tion. Meetings of the club are held every Tuesday after school and additional meetings and pro- grams are given at the downtown Y . The initiations this year were unique and will be long remembered by all the new members participat- ing. One of the purposes of the club is to acquaint incoming sophomores, both members and non- members, with the traditions of the school. This younger club acts with, yet is subordinate to the Senior Hi-Y; and provides preparatory training for boys who will later become Senior Hi-Y mem- bers. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club was organised in 1Q25. The purpose of this elub is to create, maintain, anJ promote a more general interest in library work in the Washington Park High School. The club is an organization consisting of stu- dents who are interested in library work, and also those who are active assistants. Meetings are held in the High School Library once a month. The programs are of a literary nature followed by games and refreshments. Among the activities enjoyed by the club were Hal- lowe ' en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine, and Raster parties. A May picnic closed the activities of the school year. The requirements for membership in the club is a general average of G. RIFLE CLUB The Rifle Club was organized as a branch of the National Rifle Association in 1Q2Q. The object of the National Rifle Association, of which the Junior Rifle Corps is a part, is to teach the sate and accurate handling of a rifle and to encourage better markmanship. Its purpose is to teach concentration, obedi- ence, courtesy, self-control, and accuracy, and to safeguard shooting by sponsoring and enforcing certain regulations a nd concentrating shooting on targets. The members of the Rifle Club develop their markmanship by taking part in national, inter- scholastic, and individual competitive meets, and have as a result during the past season won the American Legion Trophy and the National Bi- weekly Team Match. tLM W i m 11 [ | ' :•?

In other words, the members at- tempt to instruct themselves and to enjoy themselves at the same time. The club meeting on alternate Mondays, gives French students additional opportunities besides those of the classroom to speak and hear French and to acquaint themselves with the customs of the French people. Programs are composed of plays given in French, French games, and the national songs and music of France. The club members Study the lives and works of French painters and composers. Slides are shown depicting the geography, industries, products, and customs of the various parts of France, as well as buildings or places of historical interest. Meetings are held on alternate Mondays after school. Occasionally parties or hikes are given. Refreshments are served at almost all meetings. The adviser of the club is Miss Knudsen.

DEBATE CLUB Interest in school debates was revived in 1931, after a waning interest of twelve years, by the forming of a Debate Club which sponsors a de- bate team with Mr. Iselin as adviser. Although the team was defeated by the Keno- shans here and there this year and only succeed- ed in winning one debate at the High School Tournament held at Wheaton, Illinois, the ex- perience which the debaters gained will serve to develop their talents in future contests. The trip to Wheaton was made possible by the stu- dent body ' s enthusiastic support of the club ' s roller skating party. One of the chief quest ons debated this year was, Resolved: that at least one-half of all State and local revenues should be derived from sources other than tangible property. Top Row: Disbrow, C.

Meetings are held on alternate Thursdays at 7:30 in the morning in room 130 or out of doors. At these meetings games are played, speakers are heard, and subjects are discussed to stimulate in the members an interest in ornithology. Aside from the regular meetings there are many activities to promote the club ' s aim. Field trips are made, and each year there are an October breakfast, a trip to the museum at Milwaukee, and a Washington ' s birthday hike. Feeding Stations are maintained in the park throughout the winter, and the club participates in the National Bird Census. The crowning event of the year, however, is the May breakfast, which is eagerly antici- pated for many days in advance by all members, and longingly remembered for days there- after. 1 , {J Line: Townsend, Christiano, Rasmussen, Washburn, Nitzke, Siipkg, Fnc-.

The track men finished a fairly successful season, winning first place in the Horhck, second in the Waukesha, and third in the Big Eight meets. Co-captams of the squad were Carter Bingham and William Mueller. The golf squad took second place in the Big Eight meet. In the state meet the Parkers placed third, while Ray Billow won the low qualifier cup. The tennis squad was most successful, winning the Big Eight championship. The football squad had only a fair season in 1932 when it placed fourth. This was due to a poor start and a bad ending. The basketball squad was less suc- cessful, having a mediocre season. The cagers tied for fifth place. Lack of aggressiveness was felt to be the reason. A well-nigh exhausted athletic fund caused the school to abandon plans for track, golf, and tennis in 1933. All in a ' l, Park enjoyed a moderately suc- cessful year in sports. • Cheer Leaders — Geo. Jacobson, Ervin Kovera, Earl Kovera, Geo. Brill FJwarJ M.ilm-it.iJt. Don Gebhardt, Ernest Ziebell, Guy Weaver, Richard Hallisy, Wesley Tradewell OUR COACHES COACH ZIEBELL Head Coach Ernest W. Ziebell has achieved an enviable record during his coaching career at Park High. Mr. Ziebell coaches football, basketball, track, tennis, golf. He has coached many teams to championships, among which are a Big Eight football championship team, a runner-up to the state high school basketball tournament, two Big Eight tennis champion- ships, and one Big Eight golf championship. Coach Ziebell has always developed teams of a high standard, and a Park team is recognized as a constant threat.

The touchdown was the first that an y Horlick team has ever scored against Park. Park scored its touchdowns in the second and third quarters. A fumble on Horlick ' s five-yard line was recovered by Capt. Allen Mahnke and was converted into a score by Chopyak, who carried it over. The second touchdown was scored by Wes Tradewell, who intercepted a Red and Grey pass on then 45-yard line and sprinted the distance to the goal. NOVEMBER 10. A speedy Kenosha team took the measure of Park in the closing game of the season, defeating us at Horhck field by a large score of 20 to 0. The Park team was unable to get started against Kenosha. Borak, Nelson, Jaskowich, and Monteen for the Southsiders. Johnny Petrakis, playing his last game, was held in check watchful South Port team. VARSITY SQUAD LEFT PANEL V JOHN PETRAK1S Johnny has performed on the varsity for tour years, be- ginning his brilliant athletic career as a freshman. He was co-captain of the squad in 1932, and winner ot four R ' s in football. JOE KURHAJEC Cracky played his first year in the varsity in 1932 at end. One of the most dangerous pass receivers in the conference, Cracky, a senior, is lost to the 1933 squad. ERIC Z1ERT Eric was a dangerous man at tackle. His courage and per- sonality made him many friends. Eric, a senior, will not be back next year. MIKE RITKIEVICZ Mahonev has starred for three years at tackle tor the Orange and Blue. Mike, who graduates in June, will be surely missed by Coach. JOHN CHR1ST1ANO Chree-stee-ano, the butcher boy, made the squad as a sophomore, and has two more years to go. John has a build like the Rock of Gibraltar. HARRY KACVIN Popeye won a place on the all-city honor team last year. Harry, a guard, will not return next year, and Coach will miss this dependable boy. ■• ' RIGHT PANEL WILLIAM RADEWAN Bill is the hard-luck boy of the varsity. He is always getting hurt. This dependable back-field star will return for one more year of varsity work. WESLEY TRADEWFLL Wes, a senior, was the finest tackier on the squad last year. Whenever he broke into the line-up, he gave every- thing he had for the alma mater. ROY NELSON Dane, a senior, was a find in l - }2 and gave excellent performances at end. His work against Beloit was outstand- ing, when he starred on defence. WESLEY KORAN Wes, at guard, worked earnestly in his first year on the varsity. Wes, a senior, was the heaviest man on the squad. ALLEN MAHNKE Doc, a senior, is the big boy who was co-captain of the 1932 squad. Doc ' s fighting spurred the Ziebellmen on to many a victory. A real leader. HARRY CHOPYAK Chubby, a senior, surprired everyone with his plunging abilities. This boy was always on his toes, and his quick- thinking saved many a game for Park High. WALLy WINDSHIELD Presenting an illustration 1932-1933 spurts flash. LEFT PANEL Caesar Morani— Have you evei seen Caessar without a smile on his eherub countenance? No, an J I doubt it you ever will. Caesar, who played on the grid squad in 1931, helped shape the future ot the 1932 yearling squad as one i J the assistant coaches to Coach Ziebell. George Brill Presenting George, the human kangaroo, who is Park ' s foremost cheerleader. Talking is another of George ' s accomplishments. It you think Lee Tracy of the movies has a line ct gab, you should hear George. Stanley Lisy — Stan was the real find ot the 1032 traek season. As a sophomore he astonished all bv his speed and skill at lumping the hurdles. Stan won a place m every meet he entered His path to stardom was blocked by the announcement of no track tor 1933 A bad break for Stan, but we toin him m wishing tor a track squad in 1934. Curtis Washburn Tubbs is not only the right answer to a maiden ' s prayer, but he is also a football player with a great future This handsome Adonis has a habit of break- ing his nose, but this will not stop him from performing at center ot the Orange and Blue in 1933. Kovara Twins— Earl and Ervin Kovara, Park ' s twin cheer- leaders, are probably the most popular cheer-leaders ever to perform in Park High. For the benefit ot those who can ' t distinguish between these boys, 1 will let the secret out. Here ' s the dope: Earl parts his hair on the side while Ervin combs his hair back in pompadour fashion and parts In- hail in the middle Easy, isn ' t it? RIGHT PANEL Robert Nelson ■- Bob was the Beau-Brummel of the cage -quad As a clean scholar and a clean basketeer, Bob won the respect i his school-mates and opponents. Chosen president of the senior class. Bob accepted this high honor with the modesty that so well becomes him. Mike Ritkievicz Mike hails from a -mall mining town in Illinois, which probably accounts tor the dirtv lool gives his opponents on the football held. Regardless of the i ' rill. i tactics he uses during game.- we find no one tears him - is one of the most popular athletes to graduate from the ' ' Id alma mater. Wallace Bartels Wally is the world ' s besl managei (in our opinion, any way), fie ha- managed Park basketball, golf, n tennis squads Wally is considered inst as much a fixture around the boy ' s gym a thi front of the school. Since Wally has graduated, he is not a n longer, but he is now (loach Ziebell ' s right-hand man. Johnny Petrakis A bouquet for you Johnny! Sis i ofthefinesl ithletes turned out in Park.

VARSITY BASKETBALL 1932-1933 SQUAD BIG 8 CAGE FINALS Park High ' s cage season ended with a fair record, the Ziebellmen gathering 3 wins and suffering 7 losses, which record was good enough for a tie for 5th place. Lettermen were John Petrakis, John Smith, Robert Fries, Robert Nelson, Ches- ter Ross, Wilford Wehrle, Jerome Town- send, and Joe Kurhajec. The second squad, which did invaluable work in scrimmaging against the varsity, was composed of John Bielcik, Fred Adni- ma, William Pierson, Robert Howell, Ever Hammes, John Sadlon, Ted Pearse, Sherwin Reiche, Charles Supke, Valentine Canossi. and Harold Nordentoft. This squad also played preliminary games. Managers were John Rahn, Ervin Kovera, Stephen Placko, and James Schlevensky. W L Pa.

The inexperienced Park Squad proved no match for the Beloiters, led by the flashy John Watts and Paul Connors. Jan. 6. Janesville. There. (Conference). A heavy barrage of field goals by Janesville late in the last quarter proved the undoing of Park in its second conference game. Janesville won 19 to 16. Chopyak was high point man for Park with 3 field goals. The Orange ,ind nWe J m .i scrimmage curing practice Jan. 14. Madison East. There. (Conference).

The Orange and Blue accounted for ten tree throws, and there were twenty-four fouls called on both teams. Jan. 20. Horlick. There. (Conference). One point proved the margin of Park ' s hi - sl a in ference win when they defeated their city rivals, Horlick, by a score of 8 to 7 in the Horlick gym. Townsend scored the winning basket with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Both teams were playing under a great nervous strain, so held goals were scarce. due to the fad that both squads were highly keyed up. Jan. 21. Burlington. Here. (Non-conference). Holding Burlington to two field goals, the Orange and Blue easily defeated them 15 to 7- The Parkmen displayed an aggressive ness that they had not shown in their previous battles. Jan. 28. Kenosha.

The Orange and Blue began the second semes ter with a determined win over Janesville, 2Q to 17- It was P.irk ' s second conference win, and proved sweet revenge for the prevn us beating suffered at the hands of Janesville. Feb. 17. Beloit. There. (Conference). The powerful Beloit squad proved too much for the rejuvenated Park team, which lost, 38 to 13. As was the case in previous Beloit games, it was too much Johnny Watts. The colored Star scored most of the Line City ' s point s. Feb. 24. Horlick. Here. (Conference). The Ziebellmen lost a tough game to theii ancient Horlick rivals by a score of 5 to 10. The Red and Grey ' s aii tight defense was the feature of the game. The result evened the city series. Mar. 3.

During the semester various programs are carried out such as: play days for girls of other schools, hikes, and golf and tennis tournaments. This year the G. A. A. Demonstration was a gala affair. Not only the members of G. A. A. but all girls in school par- ticipated in the folk dances, stunts, and basketball game. Part of the proceeds went toward the buying of a badminton set. Badminton is rapidly becoming a favorite pastime of the Park girls. Another event sponsored by the club was the bowling tournament. It proved to be a huge success and will prob- ably be continued again next winter.

SPRING SPORTS Baseball as played by the Park girls has been exciting as home runs are not infrequent. The only injuries sustained during the season are sprained lingers unless as happens once in a great while some vigorous player swings too hard and connects with the catcher. A tournament at the end of the season is played off between the Juniors, Seniors, and Sopho- mores. Archery is one of the newest individual sports taken up by the girls of Park. Part of the fun is to hunt for lost arrows in the long grass as everyone can ' t always hit the target. Golf and tennis tournaments succeeded in gaining a great deal of attention. Girls who remained indoors for tennis or went out for golf during gym periods were automatically en- tered in the tournaments. Any other girls who wished to enter were eligible. In the final tennis game played by Violet Zehrt and Francis Jenkins, Violet was the winner. Lillian Gaiser triumphed over Dorothy Nelson in the final golf game. Front Row: Jean Aber, Betty H.irt.

Verna HOCKEY The turn-out for hockey this year was very large among the Sopho- mores and limn rs, hut the Seniors had only barely enough players for one team. Nevertheless, the Seniors won the tournament. Old Mother Nature was kind to the girls this year and kept the weather warm until the hockey season was over. In fact, the last game between the Juniors and the Seniors was played on a very muddy field, much to the delight of the Sophomores who were watching the game. Six broken sticks, twelve sprained fingers, and one sprained ankle were suffered by the Sophomore and Junior teams.

Each team in the tournament strove to win the most games. The Sharks and All Stars were always neck and neck foi first place, but when they clashed, the Sharks were victorious. Class teams for the final tournament between the Seniors, Junior-., and Sophomores were selected in a different manner. Tests on the different plays of the game were given and the highest scorers made the team. The Juniors came through with flying colors defeating both the almighty Seniors and lowly Sophomores. The Seniors won their game with the Sophomores. ■ Ball Pra ti ) Front Row: Ruth Stratman, Gertrude Cole, Betty Nan Morley. Back Row: Wanda Jocius, Frances Black Ethel Larsen, Violet Zehrt. BASKETBALL An unusually exciting basketball tournament was played this year by the girls of Park. The Juniors won the contest: between the Sophomores and Juniors. The game played by the Seniors and Sophomores gave most of the spectators heart failure. First the Seniors scored and then the Sophomores and so it continued through the entire game. The final score showed that the Sophomores won by one point. The Junior-Senior game was even more exciting than the Sophomore-Senior game. Miss Shaw considered this the best game ever played in any tournament. The final score favored neither team, for it was a tie. The Junior team won the tournament. This is an unusual outcome of a tournament, for in preced- ing years the Seniors always came through as champions Basketball Practice E- JW.

Puzzle: Find the donkey- UNEXTRAORDINARY A Short Short Story by Charles Lange Johnny Brown, sophomore unextraordi- nary, agonized through his history class try- ing to finish a theme tor English. Life , he wrote, is very interesting on account of everybody being so different John, can you tell us what the arbitration treaties were? Johnny squirmed in his seat, the action in- dicating thought. Well, England and the United States made a treaty, agreeing to arbitrate all matters of — ah — well, I mean A murmur of delight came from the class. Darn ' em! Why did they always have to fluster a guy? All matters were to be arbitrated except — ah— well- That ' ll do, John. It is evident that you haven ' t Studied your lesson. If all the times you have not studied were laid end to end, it would make eternity seem like half a second. Giggles from the class. How long did you study today ' s lesson? An hour, about- or half an hour or, ah - nearly, that is. ' His voice shook now. F.om the class came a roar of approval. Romans at a Christian slaughter , thought John, perspiration breaking freely forth. He was genuinely discouraged. If I was only as self-confident as other kids — . He won- dered why he bothered to stay in school, why he didn ' t go to work in his father ' s store But there was his mother. Please, Johnny, for me she had said. And so he had to finish h:gh school. His next class was English, and his essay wasn ' t written! Oh well, after all, what was the use ' His worried mind became dully aware of Jerome Hansen ' s voice reciting Mil- ton : Haste thee, nymph, and bring with thee Jest and youthful jollity, Nods and becks and wreathed smiles ' or is it ' Quips and crank- and wanton wile- ' I always get the third and fourth lines mixed! Round the room and up and down Jerome ' s spine ran a titter. Johnny felt sorry. He hadn ' t laughed. He ' s just like me , he thought, embarrassed half to death. Such as hang on Hebe s cheek. And live to love ' -I mean ' love to live. Jerome had hastened to correct himself, but the mischief had been done. The class roared, and Jerry sat down laughing confusedly with the class. But to Johnny ' s ears his laugh sounded hollow, painful. Physics next, and Mr. Williams, going from one to another of the Students, helping here, advising there, suddenly raised his voice : Arnold Smith, how many times have 1 told younottodoth.it 7 And you a junior! As though juniors were gods who could not err. Johnny couldn ' t see what Arnold had done, but he could see his classmate ' s face working spasmodically, watched the mouth open as if to offer defense, then shut again on unsaid words. The tirade from the teacher grew in vehemence. Arnold ' s face glowed to the hairline; even his ears turned brilliant. Half an hour later Johnny, obviously more buoyant than when he had left his history class, seated himself in the library beside Al Corrie — senior, star in basketball. Al felt communicative. Coach ' ll prob ' ly put the team in the State meet, he launched forth in loud whisper-. But from the desk came the call of a familiar voice. Wha Wha he stuttered; then, his heart quickening at the fear of being sus pended from library privileges ( i a month, he tried to swagger nonchalantly to the desk. Yet his tace was unmistakably red scarlet, Johnny noted. And Johnny glowed with secret pleasure. In his notebook he scratched out the be ginning sentence of his theme. Johnny B own. 51 1] Ik imore unextrai ordinary, grinned still more broadly.
