WHO ' S WHO AND WHERE OFFICE In order to acquaint our readers with who ' s who in Park ' s administration and faculty, we have composed this informal directory. As every school must have an execu- tive, we of Park also have that official in the person of our principal, Mr. Walter F. Hood. Mr. Hood, in his office on the first floor, is busily occupied with the myriad of people desiring his attention. At present he is completing his second year as the holder of Park ' s most responsible position. To aid Mr. Hood in manag- ing the school, Mr. A. B. Close, also with an office on the first floor, is our vice-principal. Every day finds him patiently listening to tardy students ' excuses. At the beginning of each semester, Mr. Close and Mr. Hood may be seen shifting pennies in order to prepare the necessary program cards. Without our indispensable office force, it would be impossible for our school to function smoothly. Miss LaMack, Mr. Hood ' s secretary, keeps the records and is in charge of the S. C. A. Sel ing supplies in the stock room is one of her tasks, too. Miss Rodigan is our home visitor, and she is responsible for attendance and excuse slips. She also has checked the seniors ' credits. Miss Benson, the office assistant, has many and varied tasks. The students become very atten- tive when the telephone rings in their room, for it ' s prob- ably Miss Benson asking so and so to come to the office. Standing: Erwin Wall, H. C. Hotchkiss, T. D. Rowe, Harold R. Johnson, Willard J. Iselin, J, E. LaBonde, C. J. Haumersen. Sitting: Gertrude Hunter, Dorothy Perham, Harriet A. Harvey, Laura E. DuFour, Lillian J. Jones, Theodore E. Beach. FIRST FLOOR In room 107 Mr. Haumersen teaches Electricity to Park boys who are interested in that course. As a member of the Teachers ' Council, he has been active. In Park ' s large machine shop, room 108, Mr. LaBonde, the Rifle Club adviser, is the busy in- structor. He teaches classes in Machine Shop and Sheet Metal. Mr. Johnson is re- sponsible for the printing of the Beacon, Park ' s weekly publication, the Wrong Font club, and six classes in printing in room I 12. He also helps the Kipikawi get to press. Mr. Hotchkiss is located in room 114. In addition to a study hall or two, he teaches mechanical drawing to his students, usually boys only. Mr. Beach, the former adviser of the Student Council, teaches woodwork in the Manual Arts department, of which he is the head. Many useful wooden objects seen about Park were made by his classes in 109. The Senior Hi-Y adviser, Mr. Iselin, room 116, is a member of the History department. American History and Economics are the subjects in which he specializes. This is the first semester that Mr. Rowe, a former teacher at Franklin Junior High, is with us. Not only does he teach Speech and Dramatics in 119, but he has charge of the Senior Class Play. Our aristocratic-looking American History teacher, Miss Hunter, in room 120, has been the adviser of Tri Alpha for the past year. Many seniors are instructed daily in American History by Miss Perham in 125. After school hours, she is the adviser of the Chess club. Advising Audubon and teaching her Current and Modern History classes in I 30 occupy much of Miss DuFour ' s time. She acted as chief Senior adviser for the February graduation class, and she is at the head of the study hall teachers. A three-in-one faculty member of our school is Miss Jones. She performs the duties of a librarian, an information clerk, and a study hall teacher, plus advising the Library Club. An enthusiast of Esperanto is our history teacher, Miss Harvey, room 132, and, consequently, the adviser of the Esper- anto Club. She has been the president of the Racine Teachers ' Council for the past two years. As a member of the History department, Miss Pugh, room 133, teaches European, Modern, and American History. As the girls ' gym instructor, Miss Shaw of 1 1 • Standing: Thomas F. Hearden, R. P. Hawker, Audrey Bealer, Elizabeth F. Felten, Margaret Teuscher, Mary E. Pugh. Sitting: Olive Adams, Ethel M. Holt, Nora Edmands, M. Esther Shaw, Gertrude R. Simmons, Nellie K. Mohr. room 131, directed the folk-dance and tumbling performance given some time ago. She further exhibits her interest in girls in advising the Girls ' R Club and the G.A.A. Coach Hearden, St. Catherine ' s former coach, has replaced Coach Ziebell during the past year. He is the boys ' physical instructor, and coaches the football and basket- ball teams. SECOND FLOOR Our leading dog fancier, Miss Teuscher, room 210, pulls little blue Junior , well loaded with books, down the corridors of Park from one clothing class to the next. Miss Adams, 212, is Park ' s one and only instructor in the Foods department. The world of tomorrow will be grateful to her for training our future chefs and dieticians. From room I 1 9 to room 213, and from Dramatics to English has Miss Cape ' s course been changed. Until the last semester she has been kept very busy directing the casts for the various plays. On account of Miss Cape ' s accident two weeks after the second semester started, Miss Edmands has taken her place. She performs the regular duties of Miss Cape. Another member of the English department, Miss Mohr teaches Senior English in room 218- Miss Holt, who is in room 219, also instructs English classes. For the past year she has been responsible for the composition and publication of the hand-book given to Sophomores by the Student Council. Not only is Mr. Wall the head of the Commercial department with an office in 222, but he also teaches Typing and Business Organization. The Commercial Honor club, too, is in his charge. Another member of the English department, Miss Bealer, 223, teaches Sophomore and Junior English. Miss Collier, the head of our English department, teaches Senior English in room 224 and also has charge of a study hall. Mr. Hawker, of room 225, instructs classes in Bookkeeping, Commercial Law, and Commercial Cor- respondence. Combination locks for lockers are procured from him. Miss Simmons teaches Senior English in room 226. Beowulf and Miss Simmons go together in many seniors ' minds. Our football line coach, Mr. Hallisy, room 227, has looked after the basketball B team as well as several classes in Typing and Shorthand during the past • 12 • -— J Standing: Elizabeth Hood, Alma Wiechers, G.

As a member of the Commercial departmen t, Miss Pennefeather, room 228, teaches Typing and Stenography. Her spare moments are spent in advising the Table Tennis Club. In room 229 Miss Sorensen, Park ' s youngest regular teacher, teaches Latin and English. For the past year she has been adviser for the Junior Wichaka and the Latin Club. An instructor in the Commercial department, and a trainer of would-be-wrestlers, Mr. Weaver, 230, has the distinction of being Park ' s one and only bachelor. As a teacher of English and Speech in 231, Mrs. Felten ' s time is well occupied. A former adviser of Wichaka, she is now in charge of the Debate Club. Every day finds Miss Knudsen busily instructing French classes in room 232. Her fluency in speaking the French language is also displayed in Le Cercle Francais, of which club she is the adviser. In our Commercial department Miss Baker, rollcall 233, teaches Shorthand and other business subjects. As the adviser of the Senior Wichaka group, she has been very active in the ciub ' s activities. In room 234 Miss Rodefer, a member of the Language department, teaches English and Latin. She is also an active adviser of the Sophomore Wichaka group. Miss Wiechers, the adviser of the German Club, teaches both German and French in room 242. Outside of teaching school, she enjoys traveling. During the past year Miss Elizabeth Hood has joined our faculty. She is the Household Arts supervisor of the Racine public schools, and she also teaches Clothing in 210 mornings. Miss Sadie Hood has taught in the English department until her resignation during the mid-year vacation. The faculty as well as the student body of Park regret her departure. THIRD FLOOR Mr. Schulte, the director of the orchestra, band, and choral groups in room 310 at our school, is also supervisor of music in the city ' s junior and senior high schools. The adviser of the Cartoon Club, Miss Sawyer, is kept more than busy advising the Kipikawi staff. She conducts art classes in room 312 and also is responsible for many • 13 Standing: A. A. Worun, Lillian Case, P. H. Vornholt, F. F. Rogers, A. B. Close, E. F. Sanders, Rose W. Bruins. Sitting: Mary A. Potter, Anna L. Neitzel, Dorothy A. Root, Frances Enright, Ida E. Howe, Blanche Racine. of the various posters, etc., necessary for Park ' s activities. A former Wichaka adviser, Miss Ruggles, of room 313, instructs Sophomore and Junior English classes. Mr. Vornholt, of room 318, adviser of the Park Snappers, and an English teacher, has published a book of poems which may be found in the Park library. Mr. Vornholt is responsible for many of the pictures used in this annual. Journalism and English are the subjects taught in 319 by Miss Case. She is adviser of the Quill and Scroll and of the editorial part of Park ' s Beacon. Being Chemistry instructor in room 320 at Park and also at the Racine Vocational School consumes much of Mr. Rogers ' time. In addition, he advises our Science club. Mr. Worun, teaches Biology in 323 to Ameri- ca ' s future biologists. As business manager of the Kipikawi, he is responsible for financial matters concerning the annual. Mr. Sanders, more familiarly known as Pop Sanders, teaches Biology in room 324. We all enjoy a drive in the car of the Philate- lic Society ' s founder. Besides being Mr. Schulte ' s right-hand man in instructing choral groups, Mr. Berven also teaches Physics in 325. The Sophomore Hi-Y claims Mr. Berven as it adviser. The instructor of Physics and adviser of Student Council, Mr. Close, is also vice-principal of Park High. He is the president of the Park Teachers ' Council and treasurer of the Racine Teachers ' Association. The former adviser of Tri Alpha, Miss Neitzel, 327, is a very versatile person. For the past year, Geometry, Algebra, and German have been her interests at the school. Geometry and Advanced Algebra are taught by Miss Root in room 328. Generally she may be seen driving home in company with Miss Howe. Miss Howe, room 329, teaches Algebra and Geometry in the Mathematics department. Mrs. Bruins teaches in both the Mathematics and Language departments. Advanced Algebra, Geometry, and German occupy her time in room 334. Miss Racine, of room 335, teaches in both the Mathematics and Language departments. Algebra and French are her specialties. Miss Enright seldom wanders from her home room, 336. Teaching Geome- try, Trigonometry, and Algebra classes may be the reason. Although Miss Potter, the supervisor of Mathematics, has had no classes at Park this year, she has remained the adviser of the Park High Einsteinites. 14 s =: - - M DONALD ADRIANSON. This engaging, absent-minded artist chap, the mainstay of the Cartoon club and Kipi art staff, can generally be found pencil in hand sketching people, places, portraits, of which anyone can be the subject. Contrary to general expectations, Bud says he Intends to be a journalist. BEATRICE ALLEN. Many a young man ' s heart has gone pitter-patter when he gazed at this blond Parkite. Bea says she ' s going to be a librarian, and she ' s keeping true to her word by running around our library every third period. DOROTHY MAE ANDERSEN. Andy ' s prancing and dancing were shown to us in Midsummer Night ' s Dream. The Honor Roll, French Club, G.A.A., Library Club, and Wichaka accounted for a lot of her time. JEWEL ANDERSON. Jewel has been a valuable member on the Beacon Staff; her club is Wichaka; and her hobby is reading. She was ambitious enough to come to school at 7:30 A. M. to study Esperanto. ROSCOE ANDERSEN. Roscoe ' s likes and dislikes are similar to those of a good many senior boys. He likes the girls and dislikes the home work, but then everyone must take the sour with the sweet. His remaining interest is printing. THEODORE BALDUKAS. Baldy is that solemn, silent fellow of the English classes. Have you seen or heard him outside? Sports are his hobby, vocation, and ambition. He would like to own a restaurant on the side. EMILY BARKOWSKI. Emily is one of Park ' s not-so-noisy girls. She doesn ' t say much but when she does, she generally says something. She ' s called Em by her friends. Her interests include Glee Club, volley ball, and shorthand. JOHN BARR. Bark is a tall blonde Viking whom all the girls admire — most of them in vain. He wishes to be a detective and loves to listen to his radio. His favorite subject Is chemistry. CHARLES BECKER. Except on the football field, big strong Chuck is always tired or hungry. His favorite hang out is Park ' s print shop, where as its superintendent, he is getting valuable experience for a future job. DOLORES BEHL. Dorey is noted for her very friendly ways. She would make a good second Floyd Gibbons through her love for journalism and her rapid fire talking. She likes to sing off and on in the Glee Club and goes in for hockey, Wichaka, Audubon, and Library Club. LEROY BEHNCKE. All great men have died — I ' m not feeling so swell myself The editor-in-chief of the Kipi valiantly fought off a siege of the mumps in order to be toastmaster at the annual Hi-Y athletic banquet. DOROTHY BELL. Bell goes in strong for G.A.A., Tri Alpha, S.C.A., and a cer- tain tall dark man. A coupe furnishes her with transportation to and from school. The envy of many a girl is her blond curly hair. VIRGINIA BETH. Virgie is one of Park ' s not-so-much-talkers. She has belonged to Glee Club, Wichaka, G.A.A., and German Club, and has earned an R. She is an ac- complished swimmer and an ardent reader. ROBERT BEYER. Modest men are quiet. Maybe that is why Robert chooses the study periods as his favorite subjects. He spends his springs and summers indulging in fishing and other outdoor psorts. SENIOR A ' S 16 INEZ BINGHAM. The main ' escal ators in our fair school. Bin e around some too. She uses up a lot of good stationery or, WILLIAM BOBECK. I M his spectacular in ' |ht between halves at the game, the whole school iring if the red would ever leave his face.

He was a football, track, and tennis man as well as an honor student — a rare feat. The Science, Math, and Hi-Y clubs claimed him also. For further details see Franny . WILLARD CHRISTENSON. Doors hold a great interest for Whity. When he ' s outside, he hates to go through them and when he ' s inside, he can ' t wait to pass outside their portals. On the side, he plans to be an architect. ANNA CHRISTIANSEN. In the spring and summer. Chris and Art can be found playing tennis or golf, and going skating or swimming. She is quite a talker and above all full of fun!! HELEN COMMODORE. Petey. that petite black-haired miss, was often seen hurrying here and there and everywhere. She is an excellent swimmer and dancer, and next to swimming she says she likes to read. CLAYTON CONNOLLY. The honorable profs of this institution of learning will no longer gaze upon the countenance of his son of Park. In spite of th e fact-that Clay- ton is so fond of English, he has decided to bid the school a sad farewell to become a medico. MELVIN CONWELL. Melvin is the great big boy from Horlick whose sense of humor often interferes with his class recitations. His highest ambition is to become an electrical engineer. PAUL COONLEY. Student council. Kipi staff. Hi-Y, Chess Club, Audubon, Ein- steinites, Nathan Hale, and Honor Roll. Keeping up with all that ought to bring on a nervous breakdown — but Paul never loses that calm, cool, and collected air. NINA BETH CRAWFORD. Pete had the honor of having the feminine lead in the senior class play Nathan Hale. She proudly sports an R and has been a member of Tri Alpha and G.A.A. To be a physical education instructor is her goal. SHIRLEY CREWE. Very ladylike and sedate in private life, Mickey imitated shrews and bar maids on the stage in Taming of the Shrew and in Nathan Hale. She has been a member of Wichaka, G.A.A., and French club, and has been on the Honor Roll. EMIL DAHLEN. Emil came from Hononegah Community High School at Rock- ton, Illinois. He must have his troubles, like the rest of the seniors, or is it |ust a habit the way he frowns in history class? EILEEN DALY. Eileen is the editor-in-chief of the Park Beacon, and a member of the Quill and Scroll and the National Honor Society. If all the students were like Eileen, the teachers would never have to worry. MARJORY DALY. Marge types for the Beacon. She likes to attend the foot- ball and basketball games. She probably regrets the lack of a swimming pool at Park, for she is especially fond of swimming. DONALD DAVIS. Don is a blonde, but even then, he lives up to that famous saying Gentlemen prefer blondes. Perhaps that ' s why he likes study halls so well — so he can sit and look at them. MARGARET DECKER. Peggy does most of her talking with the typewriter. She sings in Glee Club, and swimming and sleeping mean much in her young life. SENIOR A ' S ..- ' JACK DOCTER. Here ' s a Docter who wants to be a doctor. Thh mannerly, deep- voiced son of Parle is bound to be a success because of his unending energy. The sciences, gym. and swimming occupy much of his time. RAYMOND DOPERALSKI. Ray possesses a lot of stored away knowledge, and for that reason his quiet manner around school has us guessing. He plays an excellent qame of baseball, and we ' ll probably some day hear of Daffy Doperalski. LEONARD DORECE. Leonard leads a fast life — speed boat racing. He claims hi nickname is Fifi , but we simply can ' t feature him singing in a night-ciub. He suc- ceeds in never overdoing his schoolwork, but, nevertheless, has proved he has con- siderable ability in art. LORRAINE T. DORF. Lorraine is envied by every member of her shorthand class. Shorthand is a mere trifle to her. She wants to be a hairdresser and is making a good start keeping those perfect curls perfect. ETHEL DVORAK. Ethel is a quiet girl with big original ideas. She has serious things on her mind, like the presidency of Senior Wichaka and the cross word puzzle for courtesy week. She was Mrs. Knowlton in the senior class play. Nathan Hale. EUGENE ENGLISH. After a year ' s absence, Eugene returned to Park to con- tinue his education by studying Mechanical Drawing and Solid Geometry. He is noted for his ability as a wrestler. ZAIDIE ENOS. Zald exercises her athletic ability outside of Park by riding her brother ' s motorcycle. Prolonged investigation by our investigation department dis- closes these facts about Zaid — she has been a member of Audubon Club and on the Honor Roll. RUSSELL ERICKSON. Russell, commonly known as Swede, who might easily be called Good-Hearted, can sling a newspaper with unerring accuracy. He intends to become a member of the United States Navy Air Corps, and at the present is contented with singing with the Choristers. LEE ANN FALLIGANT. For such a little person, Lee Ann has a great gift of talking. Furious ' is her pet expression, and she has the urge to be a magazine illustrator. For such a career, she may get many inspirations while working in the library. MARCELLA FARRELL. A,S,D,F,G,H.J.K,L Marci exercises her fingers day in and day out to get them limbered up so she can fulfill her great desire to type 100 words a minute. She also exercises her fingers playing a violin in the orchestra. JULIA FAY. Julia is another brunette who wants to be a platinum blond. She is a member of the Glee Club, Wichaka, and German club, and hopes some day to be a department head in a large store. ALICE FAZEN. At present the president of G.A.A., Alice, the proud posses- sor of two R ' s, intends to be a leader in the architectural profession. Through her Park life she has been almost a steady member of the Student Council. RALPH FEINER. What- at the movies. They say his deep voice frightens their children cover is whom he carries on those conversations with. no nickname? People have complained about Ralph The thing now to dis- ANGELINE FILANDRINOS. Dark brown eyes, black hair, and olive skin has Angeline! She hopes to make a perfect private secretary for some business man. She has been in Wichaka, Student Counc il, G.A.A., and French Club. SENIOR A ' S A£ 19 im..m :yT MARGARET FINCH. Margie came all the way from St. Catherine ' s to pester-the teachers, but Office Practice keeps her out of mischief for a while. She intends to be a private secretary, but at present is contented with collecting songs. CHARLES FOX. He has been in the musical department ever since his first semester at Park, but likes art better than any other subject. Drawing is what he enjoys doing in his spare moments. He has been an S.C.A. cashier and a German Club member. GLADYS FRAHM. If you see an attractive blonde hurrying down the hall, without speaking to anyone, you will always know her to be Gladys. She hurrying is to meet a certain Chetter. IDA FREIMUND. Ida appears to be of the quiet, timid type— but we wonder! However, she poured forth her voice in Glee Club and is a member of the Park High Choristers. MORRIS FRIEDMAN. Morry is a very deliberate talker. He is an honor student and an earnest debater. Try him. Did you recognize him as the serious Dutch father in Sojourners? ROBERT FRIES. Bob has been making quite a good showing for himself in the field of sports and as a result of his prowess has many members of the gentle sex ga-ga over him. We wonder who will be his next victim. LAURENCE GATES. Cub is quite a talker, even on subjects he knows very little about. He ' s a great guy anyway, and he should make a good surgeon — at least if his love for science has anything to do with it. WILLIAM GENICH. Poor girls of Park High— for Bill is going steady with just one Miss X. He belonged to the Senior Hi-Y and German Club. He is also noted for his pranks in his various classes. PAULINE GIBSON. Skating, swimming, and sewing — Pauline can do something she likes at all seasons of the year. She has been a steady member and supporter of Wichaka and the orchestra through all her years at Park. EUGENE GISSEL. Blending his voice with thirty or forty other people in chorus takes up two and a half hours of Eugene ' s time. Collecting dimes for S.C.A. dues may have gained for him the ambition to be a big shot. RUSSELL GLADYS. Russell has proved to be quite a handy man back stage for tournament plays. Needless to say, he enjoys dramatics (or is it mechanics?) better than any other subject. STANLEY GLEBIS. Stan has worked on the football A squad and turned out to be an accomplished orator. He can, without any apparent exhaustion, talk for hours; he has taken part in one of the dramatics plays; and played an im- portant role on the Kipi staff. ARTHUR GRANT. Art has never missed being on the Honor Roll. He won the city championship in ping-pong, his favorite sport. Student Council, Chess, and Debate clubs are some of the organizations of which he was a member. HARRY GRZYB. This one-time member of Student Council and Honor Roll, helped in the dramatic productions Merchant of Venice and The Full House . Although enjoying gum-chewing, his favorite hobby, he doubtless disdains re- sponsibility for gum wads found on play scenery. SENIOR A ' S ■ ' -A 20 LORRAINE GUENTHER. Lorraine wants to be a homemalcer. She ' s always worrying about her history lessons, but really doesn ' t need to. And she has fun at parties in the country, so we hear. FRED GUNTHER. Fred ' s greatest ambition is to be a Queen of the May Day. Whether he really means it or whether it is just another of the wise-cracks, for which he is famous, you may guess. JOHN HAASCH. This great football player spends most of his time tackling a saxo- phone. He headed the Sophomore Hi-Y and is a prominent member of The senior group. The Student Council had him on its roster. He likes chemistry and golf and plans on engineering as a vocation. MILDRED HABERMAS. Mickey spends her spare moments skating, using a typewriter, and collecting souvenirs from Park. For four semesters she was a member of the German Club. She plans to study nursing after graduation. ROY HALL. Romeo is his nickname — so he says. We wonder if his activities out- side of school reflect any light on his being called by that name. Tennis and the Hi-Y take up some of his time. ALFRED HANSEN. Al is one of the quiet, their mettle in some branch of indoor sport, maybe debating questions in current history. inconspicuous boys who show Table tennis, for instance, and FRANK HENGEVELD. A Park skyscraper, that ' s Henge. He claims he likes football best, but we think he would make a better jumping center. Nevertheless, he uses his gray matter (brains, to you) and intends to be a second Einstein. MYRTLE M. HENNINGSEN. if words were pennies, Myrtle would be a mil- lionaire. She is quite a swimmer, and she has interests outside of Park — one in particular, seen especially during the football season. PEARLE HENRICKSEN. When you see Pearle, you see Harriet— it is only natural for them to be together. She is a diver and swimmer of no little ability ,and when she can do a perfect dive, her greatest ambition will be accomplished. FRANCES HEUSDENS. Frankie is quite the basketball player; in fact she excels in almost every sport. When she isn ' t exercising her vocal chords in chorus, she can often be found in the girls ' gym. ROBERT HILKER. Bob thoroughly detests obstructions in the halls— namely, girls gabbing. He represented Park High in tennis and proved himself an important cog in the team. Mathematics and the sciences are his supreme interests. LAWRENCE HJORTNESS. Lawry, one of the members of the Commercial Honor Club, has also gone in for golf and dramatics. He is going to be a big business man. So all would-be private secretaries apply now!! WILLIAM HOLT. Bill eats, sleeps, and drinks aeroplanes. At least it seems that way, because he is forever talking about them. He does, however, let his mind run on a dif- ferent track now and then; for instance, band and basketball. ESTHER JACKLEY. Jackie came from St Catherine ' s at the beginning of her junior year. She says she doesn ' t like home work, but her grades don ' t show It, for she has been on the Honor Roll. Movies, she states, are her favorite pastime. SENIOR A ' S 21 m0m m lH ADELINE: JANDER. Adeline is one of the many Park students who enjoy both swim- ming and music. She has been a member of the Choristers and WIchaka and enjoys typing. DOROTHEA E. JENSEN. Duts is a commercial student of no little ability and a member of the Commercial Honor Club. She is preparing for a commercial career. What employer wouldn ' t want this nice looking and efficient girl on his staff? HELEN JENSEN. Helen has the answer to every maiden ' s prayer — naturally curly hair. Perhaps that is why she wants to be a hairdresser. She likes to keep her feet in action a lot of the time by either dancing or skating. LOIS JENSEN. Loie is the girl who is chummy with a certain dark-haired gentleman. At least, they are always seen going into a huddle outside of Room 131 every morning, noon, and night. Lois is also an R girl. MARGARET JENSEN. Margaret ' s greatest ambition is to be graduated from Park High, and yet she says she will miss all those basketball and football games of which she is so fond. Her favorite subject is Clothing. CONSTANCE JOHNSON. Connie belongs to the Choristers, Kipi staff, and the Wichaka and Library clubs. Her favorite pastime, she says, is dancing, but it seems to be talking about this and that and him. HUBERT JOHNSON. Here ' s a fellow you have to hand it to. Besides being an honor student, he works on the Beacon, has belonged to the Cartoon and French clubs, and plays In the band. Hubert also works at the Journal-Times, and his vocational interest is journalism. CHARLES JONES. Electrical work has great interest for Chuck. That and aviation combined are his vocational Interests. He is an ardent fan and partici- pator in both football and baseball, and while in Park belonged to Rifle and German clubs. JUNE JORGENSEN. June is a quiet, industrious girl who exercises her vocal chords talking German and singing in a trio. She hopes some day to get into radio work and is planning to tour the country this summer with a chorus. RUSSELL JORGENSON. Bitte has served on the Student Council, been an S.C.A. cashier, and worked on the Beacon and Kipi staffs, but he has devoted more of his time to developing an ingenious parlour game which has everyone baffled, including himself. LELAND KAMMERER. BIttie calls me ' Toots ' , says Leland, (kidding, of course). But then Leland is always kidding someone or causing some rumpus of some sort in a class or In the halls. CELE KARAS. Cele ' s one complaint around Park is that someone Is always spelling her name wrong. That ' s the only thing one can go wrong about as far as Cele Is concerned. She is a member of the Commercial Honor Club. EUGENE KAUFMAN. Mrs. Felten had a lot of trouble keeping Euge quiet in roll call period. He is a famous talker among his friends, and we predict that he will some day be a politician or lawyer. DOROTHY KENNEDY. This quiet and modest little girl is everybody ' s friend. One hardly ever knows she is around; but, nevertheless, she is one swell kid! Dot is interested in chemistry and hairdressing. Quite a combination! SENIOR A ' S 22 BARTLETT KERR. Hats off, along the street! There comes — Junior Kerr — the paper- ball throwing, fight-picking Kerr Kid. Bart is always carrying a music case around and visiting a certain house on 12th Street. JOHANNA KIRKEGAARD. Jo (not of Little Women ) will some day mate a name for herself as an artist and musician. She takes hits and bruises without a whimper — in hockey, we mean. JEAN KLECKNER. This superior ping-pong player is also a fine sportswoman as any of her opponents in the City Tournament will certify. Beside being active in Student Council, G.A.A., French Club, and Einsteinites, Jean stays on the Honor Roll. GRACE KNOCKE. Gracie A ■■ ■ l radro fame has invaded Part in the form of Gracie Knocke. Maybe that ' s why she spends most of her time in school pestering the masculine members of our alma mater, but Chun manages to keep her out of mischief when she ' s not in school. JEAN KOCH. Jean is a quiet, slender, dark girl with a pleasing personality. One can always find her reading, and she may be reading either her history or some pam- phlets from a beauty culture school. ALICE KOCSIS. Alice transferred from Horlick High School to Park. In Cherry , the Cartoon Club has an admirer as she likes looking at the cartoons on the bulletin board better than anything else. CURTIS KROGH. Steno hopes some day to be looking down on the world from the cockpit of an airplane. He isn ' t a follower of Shakespeare, and he has given ample proof that he doesn ' t like a few other Englishmen. MARTIN KRUTY. Martin has a way with the teachers. In fact, such a way combined with a little effort, no doubt, that he gets very good grades. He in- tends to be a bookkeeper, but would like to be an artist. EDWARD KUZIA. The boy marvel in Bookkeeping! He earned his right In Bookeep- ing to join the Commercial club. He has spent more t ' me, however, with all the sciences, having taken biology, physics, and chemistry. ANNA MAY LANGE. Anna May is one of the most eager of the commercial students at Park. Besides being a member of Glee Club and German Club, she was elected treasurer of the Commercial Honor Club last semester. JEWEL LANGE. Step right up, folks, and meet our own Babe Dedrickson!! In case you don ' t believe it, just look at all the R ' s she ' s earned. Then, too, she can be seen at times wearing a St. Catherine ' s shield. GUSTAVE LANGER. If you see a dark-complexioned young man out hunting with a gun in one hand and a linotype machine in the other, it is bound to be Gust trying to combine his two favorite occupations. RICHARD LARSON. Tinus , the clown of Park High, played the part of Gobbo in Merchant of Venice Up-to-Date. He keeps himself busy in his classes by crack- ing jokes. A doctor he will be, he hopes. DUANE LINDSAY. Lindy is the tall, lanky-fellow whose home room is 131. He is one of tho Einsteinites, which stamps him as quite a mathematician and perhaps a future engineer. SENIOR A ' S r, - 23 p Am ' -v ' ii VIRGINIA LUSCHE. Of all the fortunate people in Park, Virginia is the luckiest. She finished up all her work and left for Europe with her folks in April. We hope she will have a lot to tell us when she comes back. HELEN MANERINO. Helen enjoys singing with the Choristers more than any- thing else at Park. She is a member of the Beacon advertising staff, Chess Club, and G.A.A., and has earned her R, DOROTHY MANTZ. Dorothy would have you know she is a senior A. She intends to become an interior decorator, but just now her time is well occupied by chorus, Tri Alpha, Debate, and French clubs. HARRY MAY. Harry is the chubby person who played right guard on the football team. Since his hobby is sleeping, it is hard to imagine Harry as a forest ranger. RENO MAYER. Reno seems to be quite a meek chap until you put him anywhere near Dick Schulz or a few of his pals. Hi-Y German Club, Glee Club, and printing have helped to keep him crisp. FLORENCE MEYERS. Florence is a first-rate typist. She is a member of the Commercial Honor Club, as one might expect of one with ability in that line, and finds time too, to work in the library and belong to Wichaka. ALBERT MEZINIS. A tennis-minded young man whose favo rite pastime and favorite study are eating, and cooking respectively. His greatest ambition is to make bigger and better pies — mud pies, perhaps. EMILY MIKULSKY. Em, blond and quiet, spends all her spare time reading French. Naturally, she has found time to belong to French Club. She also has been a member of the Student Council and has sung with the Choristers. CATHERINE MORANI. Catherine thinks it was very courageous for George Wash- ington to cross the Delaware, but she doesn ' t understand why seniors have to cram that in order to graduate. She has inherited the athletic prowess of her brothers in swimming and tennis. EL ROY NELSEN. Lefty is another person whose favorite pastime is sleep- ing. With baseball, basketball, and chemistry taking up most of his time we wonder where he finds time for his hobby — except of course in English class. ROY NELSEN. Roy is the one-time famous end on Park ' s football team. During his career in high school, he and his blond hair have made a big hit with the women, and his dancing hasn ' t chased them away. GORDON NELSEN. The age of miracles never ceases — that ' s what we ' ll all utter when Blocky becomes President of the U. S. as he himself predicts. He likes basketball, but uses up more of his energy singing in that powerful bass section of the Choristers. HOMER NIELSEN. In spite of his very intellectual name this tall, dark Park student spends most of his time wandering through the halls of Park donned in a big heavy overcoat, and making his presence well known to a certain person in 131. HELEN NIMEC. Helen is very fond of music — especially band music in as- semblies. If she had her own way, she would spend her summers swimming. - Those who have tasted her fudge say it ' s delicious. SENIOR A ' S 24 L. ,,. fv HOWARD OBERTIN. Transferring from St. Catherine ' s, Howie presented himself to the feminine half of the student body. To be a drummer in Hal Kemp ' s orchestra is his greatest ambition. English is his favorite subject. MELVIN ODDERS. Mel ' s quiet, dignified actions should be an example for the underclassmen. He is one of those who exercise their vocal chords for Mr. Schulte. He has a high ambition — to play hide-and-seek with the clouds in his aeroplane. WILLIAM ODOWICK. Bill ' s pet hobby is singing all the latest hits during study hall. He plays a good game of basketball, and his favorite subjects are History and English, and that makes one wonder a bit. HELEN OLESKE. Helen ' s non-scholastic outside activities keep her very busy. She ' s put in the call for the recipe for reciting when you haven ' t studied your lesson. Has anyone any suggestions? CHARLOTTE OLSON. Charlotte would have had trouble finding any so quiet and reserv nformation about hei sd that Walter We do know, Winchell however, that Chuck Is one swell kid and she certainly has no enemies. JEAN ORR. If anyone is in search of Toddy on a nice summer day, be sure to go to all the bathing beaches first. Then, [f you don ' t succeed look for some dogs or a dog kennel. ROBERT ORR. Evidently Bob wanted to know about our world past and present as he has taken all the history and science offered in Park. He may not be so fond of math, but he balances this by his love for basketball. ELEANOR OTT. Did you ever see this Park miss when she didn ' t seem to be lost in a fog ? Oh, well, perhaps it ' s because she doesn ' t like sophomores, or maybe she ' s thinking of those Friday night dances. ONYX OTTO. Onyx will make some one a very decorative secretary. The pendulum of her studies swings to the commercial department where Park ' s handsome male teachers are plentiful. EILEEN OZARD. Eileen wrote senior write-ups on the Kl pi staff, and divided her years at Park between Wichaka and Tri Alpha. Her favorite study is dramatics, and she assisted In the production of A Full House. ANN PALAT1NO. Ann travels through the halls of Park with a famous football player. Her favorite sport is baseball; her favorite subject, Clothing; and her favorite part of the school program, school assemblies. CHESTER PALINSKI. Chester is a basketball player of no little note. Though quiet, he loves to hear other people ' s shouts, being an exponent of the art of sling shot shooting. He is mechanically inclined. RICHARD PARENT. In the summer time Richard hangs around that little ice house across the street from Aties Service . His one ambition is to be an aviator and let us hope he doesn ' t break his neck while attempting to make a three-point landing. JACK PAYETTE. Don ' t run when Jack ' s deep voice booms out, for he always says something to cheer you up. He Is an all round athlete, outplaying six- footers on the baseball diamond. He plans to study medicine. SENIOR A ' S 25 TED PEARSE. Ted is the top most man of Parle, so naturally he sits high in everybody ' s heart. In their vice-president the senior A ' s picked a fellow who is full of fun and frivolity and who is a scholar, athlete, and friend of everybody. ARNOLD PEDERSEN. Amy is a numismatist and aspires to be a druggist. It Is doubtful whether he means a soda jerker or a pharmacist. Amy, like Don Bestor, wears spats in the band, but Amy only plays the mellaphone. EDWOOD PEDERSEN. Ed believes in keeping his thoughts to himself. However, he excels in history to such an extent that everyone envies him. He is one of Park ' s foremost hikers — hiking for the enjoyment of walking, not riding. DOROTHY PETERS. Dot wants to dance her way to fame and fortune. Her name is always to be found on the Honor Roll, and she has been a member of the Commercial Honor Club, Wichaka, and German Club, and an S.C.A. cashier. GLENN PETERSEN. Shorty is the famous little man of Park. He claims he wants to be a sailor. He has quite a yen for librarians, especially one In this school library. MARTHA PETERSEN. To look at Marty you would never think that she is one o f Park ' s most athletic little ladies. Nevertheless, she is and hopes to be a gym teacher. Perhaps Miss Shaw ' s successor, who knows! VIRGINIA PETERSEN. Gin loves to talk, so she joined the debate team, where she could make use of this gift. She has only one reason to graduate — to get to Madison where she can keep an eye on somebody. FRANCES PIZATOWSKI. Curly is quite the titterer— she titters here and titters there. Another thing she does is almost go crazy with all the work Mr. Hallisy gives her. HELEN PLACKO. Helen never has to take a little footstool along when she goes to a parade. She, like many other Park students, has answered the call of the open road. Needless to explain, she likes hiking. JOSEPH PLUCKS. The boy who refuses not to be seen or heard. A class is very quiet whenever Joe is absent. His ambition is to be a journalist, and his favorite hobby is reading. PAULINE PODLUCKY. When Paula is not carrying half of Miss Perham ' s reference books around, she is practicing her vocal lesson. She ice skates and plays the piano — and wants to play the organ. RAE POMMER. All the way from Miami, Florida, came Rae. Her favorite sports are almost unknown to girls way up here — sail-fishing and shooting. Then, of course, there ' s Ray with a y . ETHEL POTASH. Huh! huh! huh! we can ' t get over it — we mean Ethel ' s nickname which happens to be Ethches. Ethel was a student director of the modern version of The Merchant of Venice and has been a member of Wichaka and Commercial Honor Club. ROBERT POTTORF. Robert is one of those fortunates who was elected to the National Honor Society in his junior year. His activities include Science Club and Einsteinites. Swimming and home work are what he likes and dislikes most. SENIOR A ' S 26 ROBERT PRIDEAUX. Bob came down south from Horlick and succeeded in adapting himself to our atmosphere. Although he spends most of his time in his tennis shoes. he does manage to keep up in his studies, though he says it ' s no snap. VERNA K. RASMUSSEN. Verna has chosen secretarial work as the occupation she wants to follow. We are sure she should be successful, for she is con- scientious in all work she now undertakes. VERNA M. RASMUSSEN. Verna ' s an active R girl and G.A.A. officer. Basketball, dancing, and gym work help keep her in trim. She hopes to direct a gym class herself some day. JOSEPHINE RECUPERO. Joe can say as many words in a minute as Vincent Lopez can play notes on the piano. Her chief interests are found in Latin, basketball, and chorus. Then, too, she has been on the Honor Roll. CHARLES RETERT. If it isn ' t in dramatics class, it is in the Student Council that you ' ll hear him seriously speaking. Retert climaxed his rhetorical activities at Park by play- ing the lead in Nathan Hale. We still wonder how Nina Beth came to play opposite him. LUCILLE REINKE. Maybe it has been fairly hard for Lucille to keep awake during school hours, but nevertheless, she has been an honor student (she must not have been sleeping all the time). Lucille excels in German, a subject that she thoroughly enjoys. RAY RHEINSCHMIDT. Greek gods dwell not in myths alone—!! Ray possesses Apollo ' s physique and so forth and wants to travel as far as Hermes did. He has been an enthusiastic member of the Rifle Club, and has proved himself an ice skater of no littie ability. JOHN RIDER. John was one of the students who transferred from Horlick. His favorite study, so he says, is history! He is one of Park ' s studious members who talk but little, but he knows whereof he speaks when he does. Enough nice things can ' t be said about Gwen. T 5 s and honors, she was I , in of the Wichaka i n d d be r h e r as ' ■ ' i .■ pretty heroine in M i d - GWENDOLYN ROBERTS, one of her numerous offit football banquet last fall, summer Night ' s Dream? IRMA ROGNSVOOG. The radio holds no little interest for Irma. When she isn ' t listening to it, she Is reading, or maybe practicing for the chorus of which she has been a member since she came to Park. JOHN ROHAN. John sits up nights figuring how he can get more sleep, probably the reason he falls into the hand of Morpheus during school hours. H reformed criminal having taken that part in a mock trial. RICHARD ROMAN. Richie, the blond Romeo, staged a comeback from the football team to counting books in Miss Perham lass. He his Friday nights down at Willy ' s dancing with Whitie. He wants to be a iaker, CASIMIR ROSZKOWSKI. All of those students with excellent memories probably remember Kayo in the Merchant of Venice Up-to-Date. He has been a member of the Cartoon Club and the Science Club. He spends • hours constructing aeroplane models. MAYLIN RUFF. Step riqht up this way, folks, and se Park! Maylfn can think of more crazy tilings I Many teachers are going to miss Mr. Ruff and his SENIOR A ' S v3 [. % 27 ' - ALBERT RUSZCZYK. Corky leads a very scientific life. He was president of that intellectual group the Science Club; his favorite study is chemistry; and during vacation he takes his breathing exercises playing indoor baseball. JAMES SABEE. Jim is an excellent history student (so we have been told). H r r )- i L i i.i !.__ ' it_t -j_-- . famous fo r his smart comebacks, or what have you S.C.A. cashier and tried his hand at chess. ? He has served as an MILDRED SADLON. A few years from now, Millie hopes to be instructing her own physical education class. German and G.A.A. take up some of her spare moments at present. EUNICE SANDERHOFF. Sandy has a terrific time keeping her correspondence from getting mixed up. The wrong boy is always getting the wrong letter! German Club, G.A.A., Audubon, Wichaka, Student Council, and the Kipi Staff serve to keep her very busy. WALTER SATTLER. This individual has set for himself the not so small task of swim- ming the Atlantic Ocean. A playboy he will be if all goes well, for that will coincide nicely with his favorite sport — flirting. BETTY SAWYER. Bett has taken chorus to help toward attaining her ambition to become a better singer than Rosa Ponselle. Her interests are unrelated. She is a member of Tri Alpha, enjoys dancing, and likes French best of all her studies. with his sister (?} between his favorite he likes least, Advanced Algebra 2. It CHESTER M. SCHINSKE. Chetter walks classes, band and chemistry, and the one may be just training for football. JAMES SCHLEVENSKY. Jim tagged around after the basketball team for his entire stay at Park as manager. The Cubs will someday be honored by his managership too he tells us. RUTH SCHROEDER. Ruthie takes an interest in the manly sports and yet aspires to be a mannequin. She has the required intelligence (honor student), but food is her weakness. French was a snap for her, and she headed Senior Wichaka. DOROTHY JANE SCHUBERT. Dodie goes in for many and various high schools — Park is her fourth in four years. She joined the Kipi Staff and Wichaka soon after her arrival here, and decided she liked everything about Park — especially the boys. CARL SCHULZ. This dark boy is one of the most promising members of the ad- vanced art class. Several evenings of the week he spends in the art room drawing for the Kipi, and other evenings at Cartoon Club and Rifle Club, of which he was president. FRANCES SCHULZ. Fran is a busy girl. She writes the minutes of last month ' s council meeting, proof reads the Beacon, worked on last year ' s Kipi, and even then is an honor student. We don ' t know how she does it, but she also finds time for swimming, tennis, the boys, and Effie. RICHARD SCHULZ. I am God ' s gift to the girls, says Dick. And most girls seem to agree with him too. He ' s that tall flashy basketball star who made himself the idol of Park students and basketball fans. MARY ELIZABETH SCOON. Scooner, the Kipi ' s associate editor, was elected to the National Honor Society while a Junior A, has been on the Honor Roll every semester, and has belonged to Wichaka, Audubon, and Library Clubs. There are two habits she can ' t conquer — dropping things and arguing with Ernest. ■ ' ,. ■. - ■ ■ ' SENIOR A ' S  ■ . 28 WILLIAM SERPE. Bill has been on the Student Council, earned his R, in football and gone out for tra ' clc. In spite of these drawbacks in his path of being educated, he has found time to graduate. HAROLD J. SHOVERS. Sonny looks innocent, but looks are often deceiving. The lis of his clubs looks like the table of contents of the club section. Law is his interest after school. NORMAN SHOVERS. Norm is one of the select group who like algebra and history, He is preparing himself for law work here at Park by joining the Debate Club, and some day hopes ro be a great lawyer. WILFRED SIMONSEN. Either school wearies Wilfred or he is too brilliant for the ordinary run of students, for he finds it necessary to attend school only a half day. He has been carrying the heavy burden of two Englishes. In other years he played in band and orchestra. JOHN SMITH. This good-looking young man, the pride of the senior class, — and of the whole school, was elected president of the seniors. He will also be remembered as one of the most valuable basketball players this year. GRACE SOLOMON. Auburn-haired Grade can be seen almost any day lug- ging home a big armful of books, but she spends her time there knitting. She came to Park from Pontiac High School, Pontiac, Michigan. LEONARD SOMMERFELD. Lem is a preserver of wild life after they are dead— he stuffs them. Student Council has got him out of a lot of classes. Wrestling is one of his sports. Printing his favorite subject. ANNA MARIE SORENSEN. Anna Marie wants, to be an opera singer and practices in the chorus. And how she can talk about that classified list of boy- friends and her extensive traveling and shopping! DOROTHEA SORENSON. Snookums ' height puts her in the back row of the choris- ters. We have heard that she can tickle the ivories, and it has also been noised around that she can play baseball In an enviable manner. GORDON SORENSEN. Gordon ' s nationality or ancestry account for his nickname, which, useless to remind anyone, is Dane . He enjoys puttering around machines in a machine shop or making cabinets, and prides himself on his workshop at home. vhat ambitious e sings the JANE SORENSEN. Doing nothing Is Sornie ' s favorite hobby. My people we have around Park! She really isn ' t that useless, however. Sh chorus and belongs to G.A.A. and Wichaka. WINIFRED SORENSON. Quiet, and demure— that ' s Winnie. She likes drama- tics, and you may in a few years have her as your interior decorator. She plans to follow that occupation. ALBERT SPERO. Why school teachers get gray — Al ' s handwriting. They have been considering the question whether or not to purchase him a portable typewriter, but because of the depression have decided to ruin their eyes instead. ANN STERNBERG. Sterny came from Huron, South Dakota. Since s he has been to Park she has earned her R, an accomplishment which many girls that go to school here all three years don ' t achieve. She plans to be a n SENIOR A ' S • 29 • f LL CHARLES STRATMAN. Chuck likes loafin j in the library When it is cold enough for ice to be frozen, he can be found at all hours of the day on the rinks. After gradua- tion, he plans to go into bookkeeping. JOSEPH SWENCKI. Sweenie combines football, reading, and history to keep himself out of mischief. He hardened those big, brawny muscles of his at the C.C.C. Camps. beautiful hair, but did you ever Excelling in everything athletic, ELLA SWENDSEN. Everyone but Ella admires her know anyone that appreciated her own good luck? it ' s no wonder she likes gym best at Park. CHESTER SZYMCZAK. Chet says the thing he likes the least at Park is P ' s (who doesn ' t agree with him?), but we ' re sure he doesn ' t have to worry about them. He ' s an all-round printer and also a collector of stamps. BETTE M. TANKING. Bette greatly admires Paderewski and hopes some day to be his second. She entertains her fellow sufferers in all her classes by her wit, and she is a member of the Choristers and Student Council. BETTY TENNESSEN. Will you look at that tooth paste smile! What a smile, and what a girl! Betty, commonly known as Sodium , came to Park from St. Catherine ' s High. Her club is Wichaka. LOUISE THOMPSON. Louise likes to talk so well and people like to hear her so well that she went out for debate work and dramatics. She exce.ls in dramatics, and some day she may succeed Frederick March as Racine ' s movie star. WILLIAM THORKELSON. Torky is another who was able to combine scholar- ship with athletics. He climaxed a versatile career at Park by presiding over the Student Council. He made the National Honor Society early and is a con- vincing debater. EDWARD TOMCZAK. Edward claims he likes chemistry better than any other sub- ject. We wonder if he really does like it or if he delights in watching other students get out their handkerchiefs when passing the chemistry laboratory. TONY TOTERO. Tony came from Horlick High just recently. While at Hor- lick he belonged to the Latin Club and Glee Club. We hope some day he will be a successful lawyer, one that Park will be extremely proud of. JEAN TRAUGER. Jean really doesn ' t need an introduction to the students and teachers here at Park. For three years, she has been highly respected and liked by everyone. This last semester she topped her career by being elected president of general Wichaka. ARNOLD VAILLANCOURT. Arnold will have to develop more of that high- pressure stuff to be the general sales manager, he is dreaming about. Swim- ming is his choice of sports, music is his hobby, ana the sciences, his favorite subjects. EDWARD VAKOS. When Edward wants to express himself, he writes a poem. If you don ' t believe it. ask someone in his English class. To be a civil engineer is his ambi- tion. He ' ll probably be an engineer, but how civil is not yet known. AILEEN VAN BREE. Between reading mystery stories and setting hair, Aileen finds scarcely any spare moments. Early European history finds her an interested student. She is especially fond of assemblies, and has been a member of our chorus. SENIOR A ' S 30 BERNICR WALSH. Bernice intends to become another Lily Pons or Beatrice Lille, be- sides becoming a famous skater. While at Park she has divided her spare time between Audubon Club, Glee Club, and G.A. HAZEL WEBER. Between spasms caused by different young men, Corky talks about beauty culture work and WiHy ' s dance on Friday night. She is a mem- ber of Library Club, G.A. A. and Wichaka. the club that gives so many nice dances. HARRIET WEBERG. Harriet is another tennis-minded young lady who likes to knit. She takes to shorthand, as a duck taJ es to water, and wants to be a private secretary to a wealthy young man — don ' t push, boys, one at a time. VIRGINIA WESTLAKE. Carl Carelli I!! At least, that ' s what Gin wants to be — so she practices every day trying to play an accordion. Swimming is her favorite sport, and she managed to wade through geometry with the rest of us. LORRAINE WEYLAND. Bubble ' s middle name is extra-curricular . Besides head- ing French Club and Tri Alpha, she was secretary of the June graduating class. Her weakness is dogs. There ' s your cue, fellows. BARBARA WHIRL. Babs is the very jolly person seen in Glee Club, Tri Alpha, and French Club. If she gets 7 E— j- s on her last report card, it will be her most impossible dream come true. GEORGE WHITE. Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm, and George is certainly enthusiastic about golf. In fact his summers are spent giving les- sons to Bobby Jones. In many Instances he has shown signs of spring-fever. One day he came to school with unmated shoes. BOB WOOD. Don ' t let Bob ' s scholarly appearance deceive you; those specs are only a mask. He handled the financial affairs of the Table Tennis Club for a year. He ' d make some real money with that taxi he runs, if he incorporated. ALFRED WRIDT. Speed, a member of Park ' s B football team last year, is eager to own a Packard motor car. He is an architectural enthusiast. We hope among his many plans is an auditorium for Park, as well as a swimming pool. .ELIZABETH WRUK. Beside hating Lizy as -a nickname Betty also hates having the bows on her dresses untied, and doing homework, but she is a good student. Betty relaxes by playing in both orchestra and band. Outside Park she skates, swims, and reads. EDWARD YANN1SH, Ed disapproves of his history teacher ' s method of correcting test papers. He thinks it is asking too much of the poor seniors to answer additional auestions after they ' ve already flunked. He has been a member of the chorus, Science Club, and the Elnsteinites. HELEN ZEBELL. Helen is going to start a campaign so that girls may play football. Some day she ' s going to be somebody ' s private secretary — she hopes. In the meantime, she likes to spend her spare time roller-skating. ETHEL MARIE ARVIDSON. Ethel likes to attend the movies and listen to the radio; she also likes French. Tennis and basketball re her sports. Her vocational interest is commercial work. WILLIAM BALLANTYNE. Bill also has experienced a Hi-Y initiation. He ex- ercises his jaws by chewing gum, singing in Glee Club, and talking in Student Council. Chain stores look good to Bill after graduation. SENIOR A ' S and B ' S ,-y m MAE BERQUIST. Mae wants to be a great banjo player. Who could have inspired her with this thought? She has belonged to Chorus, Commercial Honor Club, Tri Alpha, Wichaka, and Le Cercle Frangais. HAZEL BLANK. This dark haired maiden, a newcomej to Park from Waukegan Township High School, admires Park ' s school spirit. Her hobby is keeping a scrapbook of souvenirs. Hazel ' s ambition, strange as it seems, is to graduate and then to become a beauty operator, ROBERT BROBERG. Bob is found constantly in the company of Clyde. In school he has taken advanced algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry. Has he got some eye for figures? Sure, figure-eight ' s in an aeroplane after graduation. ALVIN BRUNNELSON. His smile is the most mischievious of any in school, and it isn ' t merely a disguise. Printing is his subject, reading his hobby, and fishing his sport. VERNON BURCH. If the world were filled with as great Wrigley addicts as Vernon, Wrigley ' s wealth would surpass the gold of the Incas. Someday he hopes to outchew the Bar Association and become a lawyer. REYNOLD BUSH. Bud came from the north— Horlick High School. He has been collecting S.C.A. dues and baseball scrapbooks. Latin Club has required some of his attention at Park. JULIUS CHEVIS. Just a few centuries late and a few letters different in his last name is all that distinguishes him from Julius Caesar. He likes to study history — perhaps, so he also can be famous like his almost namesake. ANITA CHRISTENSEN. Can you imagine our sweet Anita becoming a mis- sionary? Yet that ' s what she wants to be. Our little Anita has belonged to G.A.A. and Wichaka; she has also done S.C.A. work. RUBY CHRISTENSEN. Ruby favors tennis, travel, and typing. She goes without be- ing punished for singing in school, because she belongs to the Chorus. CHARLES CHRISTENSON. Chuck is a member of the Hi-Y and also repre- sented his roll call in Student Council. He is also a reporter on the Beacon staff. As a pastime he operates an amateur radio station. JOHN E. CHRISTIANO. Kayo-Christy, Park ' s curly-haired football star, hopes to become a coach someday. So far, he is well on his way to success in the field of ath- letics. He represented his roll call in Student Council for two semesters. ETHYL COOK. Looky! looky! looky! Here comes Cooky! This bit of Horlick about Park is one lollapolouser of a basketball player. Ethyl is a dancing sprite who is nuts about creating a furor with an adding machine. EDWARD DE GROOT. Broadcasting about himself is not in Eddie ' s line, but he gets around to Debate and German clubs. He hit the bull ' s eye of scholarship by getting on the Honor Roll. Skating is his special hobby and math his favorite subject. RALPH ERICKSON. Cakie is found in his home room before the warning bell, sitting talking to himself. He never is in a hurry to get any place about school, but going out of school he is a Metcalf. SENIOR B ' S • 32 • REGINA ERNSTEIN. Reggie ' s platinurr, blonde hair and giggle usually distinguish her at G.A.A. meetings and football games. She likes basketball, English, hiking, and reading. She very modestly claims her greatest ambition is to be happy. ALFRED EVANS. As a naval wireless operator Al hopes to make his way in the world. He spends so much time on wireless, he hasn ' t had time to join any clubs. He is known to his buddies of the air as W90ZR, V-3RM3C. LELA EVERETT. Some day we hope to hear this tajl girl singing with Rudy Vallee. You never can tell — she might choose the opera. Lela likes to skate, but one can see her riding to school. DOROTHY FLEGEL. An aspiring soprano, it is quite undecided how Dor finds room for her own effects in her locker — she is so kind-hearted to other people ' s belongings. She belongs to Tri Alpha, French, and Science Clubs, and of course, the Choristers. MARY ALICE FOXWELL. Foxy sports her special talent for clothes at ' Wichaka, Audubon, Glee Club, and G.A.A. She likes basketball and football. We wonder what she ' ll wear when she becomes a teacher. ROBERT FRANK. Any one who is in search of Bob should hunt in the vicinity of the printing and mechanical drawing rooms. He has been enrolled in both of these subjects ever since he came to Park. STEVE FRANK. Horsie, Horsie, who ever made a horse trade equal to those Steve Frank is making every day? He gave all the clubs in school one big horse laugh except for the Radio Club. LUCILLE FULLER. Louie is one whom it is easy to please. Maybe the histo.y of the world would have been different had Lucille been a boy. Lucille devoted much time to G.A.A., Chorus, and Wichaka. A career of travel and adventure Is her hope. MARY GALECKAS. Having the position of private secretary as a goal, Mary is en- rolled in the Commercial department. She spends much time on Clothing, her favon+e subject, and enjoys assemblies and reading. VYANT GAUSCHE. Vy warbled in the chorus, shot in the Rifle Club, got up Qarly for Audubon C ' ub and attended the Science Club. In school he likes English 6, both subject and teacher. EILEEN GEIGER. Breasting the waves, submerged by this one, diving into that one, Billie likes and does best. However, the fair damsel wishes to heave anchor and go to Europe. REBECCA GELLMAN. Becky wandered hither and thither in gepmetry. As Titania, the queen of the fairies, in Midsummer Night ' s Dream she loved well, but not so wisely. Becky will talk fast and no one can stop her. FRANKLYN GLASSOW. He represents his roll cal has an important part in new Nash. Ice skating and amateur radio are Frank ' s outside interests, in the Student Council. Frank desires to travel to Paris. He Nathan Hale and also a very important pastime driving the TONY GLEBIS. Quiet in school, but you should see him around town! His secret ambition is to become the Navy ' s A-No. I tool and dye maker. He must love homework — he does It every night. Machine shop is his favorite subject, and the girls are his hobby. SENIOR B ' S ' z W ' 33 BERNICE GOODMAN. Bern is one of the well turned out young ladies one sees wand- ering around the halls. Skating in all forms is the object of her affections. To be a nurse and tour the world are runners up. Tri Alpha, Wichaka, and Glee Club Inter- ested her while she was here also. HOWARD GOTTLIEB. If you see a dreamy look in Star ' s eyes, it ' s be- cause his thoughts are way up yonder. He ' s been seen bouncing around the tennis court. To outrival Einstein in the field of science is Star ' s ambition. CLARENCE HALL. Clarence is a quiet, serious student who apparently finds his particular interest at school in the wood work department. He has taken five semes- ters of cabinet making and has started out with pattern making as well. RICHARD HANSEN. Dickie likes to study figures; now don ' t get him wrong. This refers to Geometry. His favorite sport is swimming an-d his greatest ambi- tion is to start at the top of the ladder. Well, everyone has to start at the top in order to dive in. VERNON HANSEN. P. G. Wodehouse is this debonair gallant ' s favorite author. He likes English and is making a good start in the direction of a soap box orator. What he will advocate is still in doubt. JANE HARRIS. There ' s brains under them thar ' curls. Jane is never as low as a mere member; she ' s usually the president or some other dignitary. Janey hopes to see her name emblazoned somewhere or other, just so she ' s famous not notorious. LILY HARRIS. Lil is one of the Beacon newshounds. Though diminutive, she gets around to Library Club and Commercial Honor Club. Her greatest ambition is to be understood. MARY ELLEN HISEY. What great big eyes you have! The better to haunt you with, my child! And is it these that enchant somebody who waits for her after school every night in a big car? CHARLES HJORTNESS. Chuck has played basketball for Park for two seasons. Physics is his favorite subject, and he likes the manual arts department. MELVIN HURTIENNE. Smitts indulges in football and wrestling. He intends to follow up the first of these sports by becoming a football player of note. He is a member of the Einsteinites. BILLY JACKO. An easy person to please is Jocks. In regard to ambitions or voca- tional interests, he hopes to do anything and become something. Well, that certainly is a philosophy suitable for such as he. Billy is known to all girls. ORVILLE JENSEN. Orv is fond of mathematics; so he was elected S.C.A. cash- ier. He has been on the Honor Roll several times. He doesn ' t shout about it, but he knows his stuff. RICHARD JENSEN. Dick Jensen wears a larger sized hat because he won the mid- dle weight championship in the recent wrestling tournament. He likes drawing and is interested in architecture. Self portraits are his usual diversion. ROBERT JENSEN. Bob Pop-eye, the sailor — well, not exactly. Bob hopes to become a seaman and see the world. Boxing helps him along with this seaman stuff. He may be champion of the fleet. SENIOR B ' S 34 JACK JERSTAD. A great teaser is Jack, but when things are to be done thoroughly he is the one to do them. He has made good as assistant sports editor of the Beacon, football manager, S.C.A. cashier, Quill and Scroll member, and Sea Scout too. Play ing the kettle drums in the orchestra is his special diversion. MARIE JOHNSON. Now a representative on the Student Council, Marie hopes to turn her talents to another channel and become a nurse. Can ' t you just see Marie ' s golden hair glinting under a peaky white cap? RICHARD JOHNSON. Dick likes to experiment with a radio. This may be why electricity is his favorite study. Electrical engineering is his goal. Day in and day out Dick may be seen carrying 225s attendance card to its roost. ROBERT C. JOHNSON. Bob likes to have his fun like the rest of us, but never- theless, he will graduate a semester early. He is one of the people you just don ' t hear about, but he ' s here just the same. SUSAN MARY JONES. Suz ' s red hair may mean stop for some, but don ' t let it fool you. She ' s amiable. Swimming and skating and cycling are her recreations. JESSIE KANE. Giggle, giggle, giggle, Jessie, giggle. If you missed that giggle you missed Jessie. She seems to be misunderstood by everybody, but still she giggles. Giggles and all, Jessie goes to French Club and Tri Alpha and sings in the chorus. ISADORE KANEVSKY. Izzy apparently expects to go through life arguing. So far he has succeeded. He hopes to become a lawyer and that calls for more arguments on Isadore ' s part. Isadore doesn ' t mind. He is shaking the dust of Park from his feet at the end of two years. RUTH KARLSON. Anyone who has known Ruth will find it hard to forget her. Her big smile, combined with a desire to play Chopsticks correctly, makes Ral a popular member of the senior class. MARIE KARWATSKE. Fuzzy is the possessor of blonde curls and has the ability to blush charmingly at the right time. She belongs to many of Park ' s clubs and her great- est ambition is to become an aviatrix. KATHERINE KELLY. This daughter of old Erin sings with the Choristers and likes baseball. Liking typing, she wants to be a s enographer. She says she wants to be more than a decoration on a piano bench, but never expects to. MABEL KINCAID. Mabel has a much needed high school attribute— the ability to speak precisely without any effort. This, however, often causes some doubt in her short- hand teacher ' s mind whether she knows her minute reading. Shorty is another one of the Choristers. STEPHEN KLIMEK. I know what I am, but know what I may be, is Stephen ' s attitude toward life. Steve has studied the moves of the chess men in Room 125 on Thursday evenings. ELAINE KNUDSON. She is an athletic damsel, belonging to the R Girls and G.A.A. Besides this, she also uses the gray matter inside that curly head for choral matters and Commercial Honor Club. DOROTHY KOSKEY. Dot will become the best known dancer of this gradu- ating class if her ambition comes true. She has attended four senior high schools besides Park, but likes it here the best for one particular reason — his name is Joe. SENIOR B ' S • 35 • t y MAGDALEN KREUL Muggs helped bring Shakespeare up to date in the Mer- chant of Venice. Will she use her favorite subject — Geometry — in her choice of her vocation, which is dress designing? ERNST LA BONDE. Ernst is the quiet darlc-haired chap one sees most often in the science and history rooms. Football and woodworking he enjoys most. If we were to give his roster of clubs, the Kipi would have to be extended several pages. EMIL LARSEN. Emil ' s curly pate is as much a part of Park as the phone in the office. If there ' s any news to be gotten, you can get it gratis from Emil. Amos held down the position of football manager like a ton of bricks. MILDRED LARSON. Millie ' s artistic ability plus her talent for writing made her a valuable member of the Kipi staff this year. Outside of school she en- tertains herself by playing tennis and designing dresses. LOUISE LASSEN. Lon can give dandy parties and woe be to her opponent in basketball. Her nickname ought to be lightning . She lent her boyishness cleverly to several dramatics tournament productions. As a history student she ' s a whiz. BILL LOVELL. Bill, executive editor of the Beacon and creator of Park ' s Davy Doodledash, hardly lets anything of importance slip past those black-rimmed glasses. After his arduous journalistic activities, he isn ' t too weary to throw his opponent across the gym from the mat. HELEN LYLE. Beans, that very busy girl who honors the Student Council, Quill and Scroll, Tri Alpha, Audubon, and G.A.A., still has time to be managing editor of the Beacon, be a very popular girl, and do her school work. CLYDE MAHNKE. Clyde, the Beacon ' s sports editor, drives a Model T Ford as an outside activity. This requires much tact, kindliness, etc. His favorite pastime is to listen to Wayne King and dream that someday he will play in the Aragon Ballroom. DOROTHY JEAN MARTIN. A cute turned-up nose, eyes like saucers, and impish grin! This is the Beacon exchange editor who sometimes exchanges much else besides news. Dorothy is another Park lover — not amorous you understand. THEODORE MASTOS. Ted ' s attempt to join the Senior Hi-Y was met well by the Hi-Y, but not so well by Ted. He claims he will try to become a million- aire by teaching gym in some junior high school. MARY LOUISE MATAUSEK. The possessor of a pleasing voice, a splendid vocabu- lary, and an extensive reading background, Mary Louise is well equipped to express her opinion regarding political matters. She is graduating from Park at the end of two years. MARY MATAVKA. Mary is all wrapped up in her work on the Beacon staff, though she has time too for the Library Club and to keep on the Honor Roll. She enjoys talking and typing, but not stumbling. HECTOR MAYER. Rube has sat in Student Council, in Senior Hi-Y, in German Club and on the football bench — that is when not on the playing field. As president of the German Club, he led them through a very successful season. ARLYSS MELTON. Frenchy likes to skate and dance. Perhaps if she de- voted less time to these she might acquire the good night ' s sleep which she says is her greatest ambition. She prefers English to the other subjects offered at Park. SENIOR B ' S • 36 • KENNETH MERTINS. Kenneth Is almost invariably found in the arms of Morpheus during roll call, which results in several well meant but useless lectures from his roll call teacher. He may have acquired this habit waiting for his partner in chess to move. IRENE MIELCAREK. Irene is a French enthusiast who hopes to follow in that famous Frenchman ' s shoes, Marcel, a beautifier of hair. In other words she wants to become a beauty operator. MYRON MILLAR. Scotty certainly could train the shrew, when he played in Tam- ing of the Shrew . His greatest ambition is to sleep a week straight! Why not try it? ■Myron ' s ability to fathom his teachers ' minds is positively uncanny. EVELYN MILLER. Evy is an irrefutable argument — why gentlemen prefer blonds. The presidency of Commercial Honor Club and Norman are Evy ' s in- side and outside activities. Did you ever watch Evy ' s face when she hears the music of Ben King ' s poetry? ELSIE MIRUCH. The petite president of Library Club plays the piano in the orches- tra, and goes to Tri Alpha and French Club. Elsie does not like the crack of a pistol shot, but it does not stop her from winning dashes. HERBERT MITZEN. Pop likes the girls at Park. His greatest ambition is io go out nights. His tongue can bring tears or smiles when he wishes it to do so. ROBERT MORGAN. Bob is interested in chemistry and putric acid, but why bring that up? After playing trumpet in both orchestras, and in both bands, has he got Hot Lips ' ? JOE MORIARITY. The apple of Joe ' s eye is some peach. They make a peach of a pair. Joe toots the piccolo in the band. He haunts the sea scouts outside of school hours and when he has time. MARILLA MUSKAT. Combining one part of basketball (her favorite sport) and one part music (her favorite pastime) and one part English (her favorite class) how does one get to be a teacher? That is what Manila wants to be. JUSTINA M. NACZINSKI. Justy can be remembered as the perfect Amazon Queen in the production of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream . Her interest cen- ters around science, especially Biology. She collects insects and animals as a pastime. BERNICE NELSON. Bernice and her sidekick, Ruth are inseparable. No, they are not sisters. They both have been in Wichaka and chorus. RUTH NELSON. Nelsie, Shrimp, or Squirt, are Ruth ' s aliases. If we forget one name, we can call her by the other. She hopes to see the world via ship, but Ruth had better look out; she might faM out of a porthole. Well, anyway, Ruthy Is a whiz at volley ball. HAROLD NORDENTOFT. Norty wants tc start a one man Back-to-the-Soil move- ment. He has belonged to the chorus five semesters. He also played at basketball and football as the school well knows. Remember Norty ' s prowess on the gridiron? JACK T. O ' CONNOR, JR. Strawboss was the business manager of the Beacon. Journalism and advertising seem to be his chief interests at present. Jack is a crackeriack In history and is generally found galloping around the building. SENIOR B ' S 37 : ■ OLAr A. OLSON. Besides playing basketball with the Octopi, the team which won the Class C Intramural championship, he likes to play ping pong, and some day hopes to become an aviator. He has been one of the Choristers and prefers physics to the rest of his subjects. GENEVIEVE OSBORNE. Temperamentally oene is as changeable as the March winds. She has been a member of the R Girls, Glee Club, Beacon, and was an S.C.A cashier. ROBERT OVERSTREET. Bob is always willing to help teacW, students, and friends with a smile. Despite his Dodge, Bob has not gained a great deal of fame, which hap- pens to be his greatest ambition. ALICE PATER. Pat hopes to go to England some day. Being a private secre- tary to some executive might get her there. It is wondered by many brilliant (?) seniors if there ever was a person who could beat Alice to the answer in English class. WALLACE PATRICK. To sail the bounding main is this R man ' s chief ambition. Nevertheless, Pat keeps in trim by riding motorcycles, for what ' s better than Twelfth Street by motorcycle to match the rolling, rocking, rhythm of the sea? Wallace has been tooting a clarinet in the orchestra and band for four semesters. MARGARET E. PEDERSON. While on the Beacon staff, Muggs wrote for all you mugs. She is one of those who will be anything once. She belonged to the Glee Club once and once was a S.C.A. cashier. She now belongs to G.A.A. and Girls ' R Club. JOSEPHINE PODLUCKY. Jo, our Bottom of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream, has a secret ambition to be a detective. As president of the photography club and as a member of the Kipi staff, Jo has worked in and out of school for these organizations. HENRY POTTHOFF. Henry, on account of illness, missed a great deal of school and, therefore, is honoring next January ' s class of graduates with his presence. He is carrying a group of studies which should weigh him down, but doesn ' t. SOPHIE PUCHINSKY. When Sophie hears School Days, School Days sung, will she think of the happy hours she spent in chorus and Tri Alpha? She has collected S.C.A. dues and has been a Student Council alternate. MARIAN RICHARDSON. Pee Wee ' s activities out-match her size. She ' s worth her weight in service and a few pounds thrown in — Audubon, Wichaka, G.A.A. , and Honor Roll are among her many activities. Her favorite study is geometry. She ' s just bubbling over with enthusiasm for everybody and every- thing. CHARLES RIMKUS. Charles, the great mathematician, chooses hunting as his fav- orite sport. Just ask Charles questions about something. He ' ll give you an answer to anything — right or wrong. ALICE RUMBUTIS. Ally , the girl with the million dollar smile. Swimming during summer and ice-skating in winter take up much of Alice ' s spare time, while the boys account for the rest. ZENNIA SACHEN. Rose has tried many things at school — chorus, S.C.A. cashier, Tri Alpha. Wichaka, and German Club. Skimming over the ice on skates is much to her liking. ALFRED SADOFSKY. According to his own reports, Sakie is amorously in- clined. He likes golf and other things excluding school. Once he was, they say, his teacher ' s pet. SENIOR B ' S 38 HAROLD SAV1DES. Harold ' s greatest ambition is to be a forest ranger. He is quite dissatisfied with the teachers ' opinions of him via report cards. The thing ' he likes best is the building at Park. He has been active in the Hi-Y. STELLA SCHRADER. Curly hopes to be a singer. This one time scarlet-clad page leans toward indoor sports. Her hobby is singing. The Schrader family has and probably needs our sympathy. HARRY SCHULTZ. Oscar, so it is told, is one of the gay hyenas at Willie ' s dances. From reliable sources it is learned that he ' s a whiz at science, and knows more than his teachers in matters pertaining to astronomy. GEORGE SEATER. George, a self-avowed girl-hater, puts all his brains and energy into playing basketball. Vocationally speaking mechanical drawing, is it. George is another one who doesn ' t love English, despite all the efforts of his teachers. VIRGINIA SHATTUCK. Jlnney likes water in summer for swimming — in winter for skating. Jinney is going to save the U. S. trouble by seeing America first. EVELYN SKOVSTED. Evelyn sports a huge R on her sweater entitling her ro membership in the Girls ' R club, besides which she belongs to Commercial Honor, Tri Alpha, and German Club. MARJORY SORENSON. Mugs , her looks belie her name, is an A No. I swimmer. She modestly hopes to become a good pianist, just as if she isn ' t already our ideal of a Paderewski in skirts. MALCOLM STEELE. Mai likes to know why — so he studies history. He likes to exercise his muscles — so he is a devotee of the gym. He likes the outdoors — so he plays football. He ' s like the rest of us — so he ' wants to graduate. MAY STEELE. May astounds Mr. Iselin with her knowledge, but she objects strenu- ously to the talkativeness of some teachers except on test days. Tweedy is a member of G.A.A. and Wichaka — she and her briefcase. A horse woman of no mean ability is she. NAOMI STEW ART. Laugh and get fat, they say, but Naomi laughs and stays fit. Her laughter is often the cause of her rosy cheeks. She played in the dramatics tournament play, Romeo and Juliet. EDITH STRIPPEL. Edith indulges in the game of tit-tat-toe during home room. Her accomplishments at Park include being lazy in a graceful way; and also in a graceful way she can dance, and she hopes to play a piano in an equally graceful way. CATHERINE SUPIANO. Kay Is a sophisticated young lady who likes English and mathematics. She contemplates teaching in an elementary school, or Eng- lish in high school. She indulges a great deal in sports. CATHERINE SWEETI. It is a common fact that Kate does not resemble her famous namesake the shrew in temperament, though she is an athletic young woman who can put more punch into a game of basketball than it takes to smash a lute over her music teacher ' s head. ERNEST TEMMER. Ernie is a conscientious Kipi worker as well as an unusual cymbal player. His good nature was used to great advantage when it came to getting typewriters for typists or doing any other job big or little. SENIOR B ' S 39 m y w CHARLES THIELEN. This little he-man says he has six nicknames, but we all know him as Chuck . He has shown his talking ability in the Student Council, the Debate Club, and in the library — just ask Miss Jones. DOUGLAS THOMPSON. Douggie has helped Mr. Schulte by consenting to add his voice to the chorus. Before school begins, Douggie can usually be found bandying words with certain pals on the second floor. PAUL UBBESEN. U. B. is a musician and what ' s more, he looks like it. Blond curly hair and a dreamy look in his eye. He plays the violin in the orchestra. Deutsche Verein and Chess Club are U. B. ' s clubs. KLEM VAKOS. Klem ' s school work can not be too fatiguing, for besides play- ing golf, he holds a job or two on the side. From the profits of his own cafe, he hopes to finance his way around the world. JOE VANKO. Whether all he has to say in history class is due to actual knowledge or irresistible desire to talk has not yet been decided by his fellow students. Joe is usually too busy blowing his clarinet in band and orchestra to talk there. OTMAR VOLKERT. Otmar played the part of Theseus in Midsummer Night ' s Dream, and was stage manager of Romeo and Juliet. He has played chess with the Chess Club, but gives most of his interest to math and electricity. FRED VENTURELLI. Park ' s bouncing baby is Fred. Splitting football pants is his mania. Fred mixes his football with basketball. He is usually found in the company of Carelli and Christiano. MARY VOORLAS. Mary seems to have some secret of inner mirth; her eyes dance always. Mary ' s vocational interest is commercial work, and she claims her greatest ambition is to be Mr. Wall ' s private secretary. RUSSEL O. WAGNER. Russ is a young Nimrod — only he substitutes binoculars for bow and arrows when he hunts. Orchestra and band have accounted for thirty of his credits. It requires all of his diplomacy to read Student Council notices in home room. HERLUF WANGGAARD. Herby is known far and wide as the fair-haired child who is frequently seen around the halls. Chemistry is Herluf s ambition in Park and after Park. LA VERNE WELFEL. This fair maid comes to the south from the north— Horlick to Park this last semester — non-stop flight. We hope she is not over-grieved about her transfer. GERTRUDE WESTBERG. Cindy , that extremely busy little girl one sees running around the halls, hopes to become a children ' s librarian. While at Park, she belonged to the Library Club and Beacon staff. GLENN WILKINS. Whitie, our would-be actor, who was in the parody of the Mer- chant of Venice, likes nothing better than to get out of school. He also likes swim- ming and boxing, but for work he has not so much ambition. HELEN WORDEN. Puppy ' s ambition to be a nurse is already assuming shape, for chemistry played an important part in her school work. Her sweet and friendly manner indicates ability to comfort and cheer sick people. SENIOR B ' S 40 _ SENIOR A ' S DENNY ALBRIGHT. Denny just loves to sleep (who doesn ' t?), but somehow he manages to drag his weary bones around a golf course in the wee hours of the morn- ing — any time after 4 A. M. MILTON ANDERSEN. In selecting his subjects in school, Milt has shown a distinct partiality for the social sciences. He has taken part in dramatics. Rifle Club, and Debate Club. JOHN BIELCIK. Johnnie played guard for Park ' s cage quintet. If he is in the right (or is it wrong?) company he is very likely to be a jolly good fellow. LYDIA DE LITZ. Litzie evidently likes to freeze her toes, because she is an ardent football fan and ice skater. She likes to talk — so she is going to be a telephone operator, but jigsaw puzzles keep her occupied once in a while. ERNEST DE LUCA. Ernie played on Kayo-Christie ' s winning basketball team. He learned his tactics at Hor- lick, however, and he can play basketball. He shapes things out of metal in the machine shop too. CHARLES DOBOSHINSKI. Charles found fame in the muck and mud of the gridiron during the Janesville- Park game when he was named honorary captain. Since he has stopped collecting bruises in football, he has spent most of his time memorizing lines in English. FRANK DRESNER. Frank is the bashful blond in Mrs. Felten ' s home room. Of all the subjects offered at Park, shop work holds the greatest attraction for him. RAY ENGELBRETH. The Prodigal son returned, some say, to give announcements at our assemblies. It was Ray who did such a splendid job as the chief shepherd in the Christmas pantomine. To several of his pals he is known as Pop. WALTER FIESCHKO. Waiter ' s pastime is tinkering with gas engines, and his pet sport is track. Needless to say, his vocational interest is mechanical engineering and we wish him all kinds of luck. FLORENCE HANSEN. Florence has been a member of both the orchestra and chorus since she came to Park. We have reasons to believe that she is very fond of motorcycle riding and hope her stunt-riding ambition is realized. ANITA JANES. Nita and her gum are a very familiar sight around the first floor. She is blest with a promiscu- ous optimism about everything in general. Tri Alpha is her club. ARNOLD KELM. We have been wondering for some time if Arnold spends his nights after school in Room 125, because he likes the view on Twelfth Street or if it ' s the history assignments. His true love, however, he says is architecture. WALTER KOZICH. Another one of our half-dayers who plays basketball. Because he attended only biology and English classes we gather he was comparatively free from the drudge of home work. ARTHUR LANGLOIS. Frenchy is to be found almost anywhere in the halls enjoying his favorite pastime- ing the height of high heels. He got as far as the finals in the boxing tournament. ROBERT LUHN. Another member of the Park student body who will soon put us in our graves if he continues to make attempts to blow up the school — don ' t be fright- ened. We mean he is an enthusiastic chemist. HAROLD NIT2KE. This football huslue has given him- self the nickname of Nertz — use your own judgment. Some day Harold hopes to be a big shot at the ' try ' . C.A. He is getting training now as a big shot in the Student Council. VLADIMIR RYBARIK. Whether it is his favorite one or not, at least, Vladimir ' s pastime is hanging around the gym after school, watching the different teams practice. Everyone who takes printing knows him as the shop fore- man. FRANCES SHOOP. Frisco is another transfer from Hon lick High. Just a warning to the janitors — watch the tulips behind the school because Frances has a yen for them, and no one can tell what might happen. THEODORE SLIVKA. This one-time enthusiastic chem- istry student — so enthusiastic that he took to experi- menting at home — has had just two classes all day with all afternoon to study for them. You ' ve guessed what they are — English and American History. ROBERT SWANSON. Bob is silent about more things than he tells about, and nobody knows what he thinks. His greatest talent is wrestling, and it doesn ' t do any- one any good to come within reach of his brawny arms. GENEVIEVE WASSERMAN. Genevieve goes in for drum majors — or is it the baton? When she is anywhere around, someone is bound to ask who is singing and talking about that big handsome boy friend at the same time. EARL WHIPPLE. When the intramural basketball tour- nament was in progress, Whip was always on the job do- ing his part for his team. He is a participator in many sports, including football and golf. LEONARD ZIOLKOWSKI. Leonard has muscles (they- ' re not hard to find, either). He showed them off. with great ability, too, at the wrestling exhibitions between basketball games. And did you see the good-looking wrestling pesters he made? SENIOR B ' S MARJORIE BIRES. Marjorie is going to be able to taite care of herself very well in the future if the subjects she takes are any indication. Foods to appease her hunger, stenography to provide the food, and chorus to enjoy herself, history for good citizenship, and English for con- versation. 41 EDITH BLAKE. Edith came to us from Murdock High, Winchendon, Massachusetts, and impressed Park High with her Eastern accent and faculty of making new friends. If Edith is going to be a nurse, her giggles will probably give her patients hysterics. ROBERT CARROLL. Robert to enemies, Bobo to his friends. Bobo toots the big tuba in the band and grunts during the gym classes wrestling. We hope he will not use his powers as a wrestler to intimidate the jurors af- ter he is admitted to the bar. EDWARD DAVIS. As a start in Pierpont Morgan ' s di- rection, Edward has been S.C.A. cashier for three semes- ters. He also has designs on Haliburton ' s fame (Richard not Lawrence). LAYTON DIXON. Reading, radio, and Romeo and Juliet are in Layton ' s plans for the future. He is the boy with the big voice who acted a part in Romeo and Juliet. LESLIE GABBEY. Since Leslie spends his nights working on some radio set instead of doing home work, he makes up for lost time by sleeping in class. His greatest ambi- tion is to make a radio set that will work. LAWRENCE HALIBURTON. The boy who slaves through 200 pages more of a book than is needed in German is West . German Club, football, basketball, and drum- ming help to fill up his time while in school. PAUL HASKO. It is rather difficult to find out any- thing good or otherwise about this chap. However, after becoming all hot and bothered, the information we gleaned was that he likes indoor football and golf, loves stamp collecting, and enjoys American History. WILBUR JENSEN. Wilbur is one of the privileged senior B ' s who are not compelled to arise early in the morning to come to school as he attends Park in the af- ternoon only, when he takes physics, English, and Ameri- can History. FRANK KARLS. As Frank has been on the Honor Roll •only in his dreams we can not list that. However, Lefty intends to be a high flyer. Aviation is his goal. He has been a member of the chorus several semesters. JENNIE KOZICH. Her name is Jennie and she attends chorus. Not Jenny Lind you understand, but maybe she will become one some day. Geometry, Foods, and French serve as Jennie ' s ballast. VIOLA LARSON. Vi ' s greatest ambition is to pound the typewriter. She likes ice skating and swimming. The thing she likes the least at Park is the warning bells. Who doesn ' t? Vi has that tooth paste smile. HOWARD LUEKE. Howard is one of the few gentle- men to be found about our spacious halls. He is so gentlemanly that he is usually to be found escorting his sister (?) about. EUGENE MAJESKI. Eugene follows a very interesting hobby — that of collecting old coins, stamps, and other historical things. At Park, however, he devotes most of his time to printing. He is a member -of the Printing Club and intends to follow that profession. GARLAND MILLER. Jelly beans, plus jelly beans and still more jelly beans this equals Dake! He gives this sweet candy to the girls and still has left a generous supply for personal consumption. Probably that is why his favorite sport is wrestling. HAROLD NELSON. Moose Nelson hopes to see the world. Maybe he ' ll duplicate Lindy ' s feat, New York to Paris — only on ice skates! Mechanical drawing, foot- ball, Student Council, and ice skating wore him out for five semesters. A shark for memory work is handsome Harold. JOHN PHELPS. What ' s the reason I ' m not pleasing you? — That ' s only Phelps trying to sing. Besides croon- ing, he played center on the second football team, and is out for pole vaulting for track. WALTER POTTORF. All you guys better stir clear of Walter if you are not on the best of terms with him as he is champion wrestler and boxer in his weight division. LEO M. POWELL. Though generally under the influ- ence of Morpheus, Leo wakes up once in a dog ' s age to go fishing. He hopes to travel the U. S. — sleeping or awake, we don ' t know which. Leo is an a nti -German student. GRANT RONDEAU. Red plays baritone in the senior band so that he can see the football and basketball games for nothing. Because he forgot to take Ameri- can History I when he was a senior B, he will have to endure Park for another semester. RUDOLPH B. SLIVKA. Rudolph says his nickname is Rudy, but he is better known as Pluto. He likes printing above all else at Park, and outside of Park also, for that matter. After printing, baseball claims his attention. ROBERT SORENSON. Bob comes from Kenosha and finds our S.C.A. very much to his liking. With him, chem- istry ranks A I. After school hours he can be found playing football or baseball, if he is not making model boats or reading. WILBUR SORENSON. That he keeps himself alive is general knowledge, but how he does it is the question. Wilbur is always scurrying around with enough books under his arm to form a library, DOROTHY STEELE. Dot with the slow, low voice, and those eyes that open wide when excited, makes one think of a Kewpie doll. Dorothy ' s greatest ambition is to be able to swim. She represented her roll call in Student Council. BERNICE STEMPE. Did you ever know we had a real live Bunnie in this school? We have! It ' s Bernice, al- though she has never been accused of nibbling grass. She enjoys assemblies and chemistry. JACK WEBER. To be a Jack-of-all-trades is this young man ' s ambition. Basketball, German and chemistry are among his many interests. An exponent of the short lunch hour, Jack is undecided as to vocational interest. Maybe he ' ll be a soap box orator — who can tell? LELAND WITTKE. Le has confined most of his activities to the shops in Park. He has been enrolled in electricity, sheet metal work, machine shop, and printing. He has also sung in the Glee Club. • 42 • i y jf r Dtp s J S u ffZ Roll Call 125 Adviser: Miss Perham I IA Top Row: Paul Lowry, Edward Mertins, Warren Nelson, Jack O ' Connor, Mervin Molgaard, Arthur Pedersen Carl Nielson, Fred Venturelli.

STUDENT COUNCIL Fall Semester Spring Semester Andrew Madsen President William Thorkelson William Thorkelson Vice-President Gwendolyn Roberts Frances Schulz Secretary Frances Schulz Adviser: Mr. Close The Student Council, during the year 1934-35, has endeavored to function to its fullest capacity. From the first, the council members were urged to take an active part in all school matters and to make every effort to adequately represent their home rooms in the meetings. As a result of this stimulation, many new and interesting activities were engaged in. The officers of the committees, and individual members have done a good job in trying to make the Student Council a really vital part of the school life. The projects undertaken were, in some instances, quite new and untried; but through the hearty cooperation that prevailed at all times, all projects were quite suc- cessfully put over. Some of the outstanding events of the year sponsored by the Student Council were advance sale of tickets for both the Kenosha and Horlick foot- ball games, Courtesy Week, revision and publication of the new Park High Hand- book, Patriotism in School program at assembly on Washington ' s birthday, conces- sions at the district basketball tournament, Students ' Open House, students ' conduct discussions in the home rooms, and Field Day. During Courtesy Week, courtesy was especially stressed. Every home room pre- pared a short skit about courtesy and gave it in other home rooms. Room 327 had special scenery prepared for their skit. The purpose of the Students ' Open House was to familiarize students with the different departments at Park. The nine A ' s of Franklin and McKinley Junior Highs were invited to participate in this event. 52 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society at Park is a chapter of an honorary organization which is nation wide. Its emblem is a keystone symbolizing the high ideals of the Society. The emblem bears a flaming torch signifying the purpose of the Society. This purpose is to bear forward the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow in the light, to keep burning in our school a high ambition for the enduring values of life, and to serve. Only seniors and junior A class members are eligible for election. Students are elected into the Society on the basis of character, leadership, service to the school, and scholarship. The impressive and dignified induction ceremony is usually held during the spring semester at one of the general assemblies of the school to which the public is invited JANUARY 1935 GRADUATES JUNE 1735 GRADUATES ELECTED IN 1934 ELECTED IN 1934 Eileen Daly Robert Pottorf Gwendolyn Roberts Mary Elizabeth Scoon William Thorkelson Jean Trauger ELECTED IN 1935 Charles Becker Marie Belluche Le Roy Behncke Gertrude Blodgett James Christenson Gordon Burgess Paul Coonley Helen Charewicz Nina Beth Crawford Lorraine Davis Shirley Crewe John Erskine EtheJ Dvorak William Fabish Alice Fazen Clara Fornary Morris Friedman Sidney Grant Stanley Glebis John Harris Arthur Grant Karen Lauritsen Fred Gunther Andrew Madsen Pearle Henricksen Bertrand Mayland Robert Hilker Eleanor Nielsen Hubert Johnson David Sheriff Jean Kleckner Adolph Wagner Dorothy Peters Catherine Weeks Pauline Podlucky Margaret Bomier William Hood Virginia Madsen Jack Pinard Nancy Simonson ELECTED IN 1935 Verna M.

A. Worun SCHOOL LIFE Mary Elizabeth Scoon Ernest Temmer When work was first begun on the Ki pi this year, the semi-weekly meetings were addressed by several faculty members concerning different phases of the Kipikawi work. These semi-weekly meetings soon developed into daily meetings, with the staff spending its Easter vacation working in Room 312. Off-set printing, an entirely new and different process, is used, allowing larger and more drawings without extra cost. This type of printing is used in the higher class magazines. The Photography Club, under the supervision of Mr. Vornholt, took most of the pictures. The large group pictures, however, were taken by the Hollywood Studio. Miss Sawyer had full responsibility for the editing of the annual, Mr, Worun was the business staff ' s adviser, and Mr. Johnson helped put things in shape for the printer. The annual was printed by the Millar Publishing Company of Chicago. • 54 BEACON STAFF Executive Editor William Lovell News Editor Dorothy Kroulik Editor-in-Chief Eileen Daly Staff Secretary Lydia Madsen Managing Editor Helen Lyle Business Manager Lucy Gutowski Sports Editor Clyde Mahnke Advisers Miss Case, Mr. Johnson The Park Beacon is the official student newspaper of Washington Park. It is pub- lished every Friday by a student staff, advised by Miss Lillian Case. It is printed in the Park print shop. To serve as a record of the activities of the community, to bring to light the little incidents — humorous, touching, comic, interesting — that are part of the life of any school, to lead in the development and maintaining of a strong school spirit, to link the school and the outside community, to be a medium for student thought and opin- ion — those are the avowed purposes of the Beacon. The aspirant for a position on the editorial staff must serve a tryout period of at least three weeks. He then becomes a reporter, whence he may work up to an editor ' s position. The business staff solicits advertisements by which the Beacon supports itself along with its share of the S.C.A. collections. The highest position on the business staff is that of advertising manager. This department of the Beacon is advised by Harold R. Johnson. During its seven years of existence, the Beacon has several times won national honors in competition with high school papers throughout the United States. It holds membership in the National Scholastic Press Association, and four students attended this year ' s convention in Kansas City, Missouri. A number of staff members also represented the Beacon at the Wisconsin High School Editors ' Conference in Madison.

COMMERCIAL HONOR CLUB Fall Semester Spring Semester Jane Harris President . . Evelyn Miller Lorraine Davis Vice-President June Dvorak Gertrude Blodgett Secretary Doris Gilmore Anna May Lange Treasurer Anna May Lange Adviser: Mr. Wall The Commercial Honor Club is a club for commercial students who have earned high grades. The entrance requirements are a grade of E in a commercial subject, and an average of G with nothing lower than F plus. The club was organized on February I I, 1930, by a group of commerciaj students interested in promoting better scholarship in the commercial department with Mr. Wall as adviser. The purpose of the club is to promote scholarship and leadership among commercial students. The results have been gratifying as is evidenced by the number of members who have become leaders in other clubs, the Beacon, the student council, National Honor Society, Kipi staff, orchestra, band, and dramatics. A committee from the club operates the book exchange, from which it realizes sufficient profit to purchase equipment for the commercial department. A ditto machine, dictaphone, and marchant were purchased by the club in 1933, 1934, and 1935 respectively. Open meetings are held two or three times each semester at which prominent business men speak upon subjects of general interest. In order to raise the standard of spelling among commercial students, the club purchased a silver loving cup to be known as the Commercial Club Spelling Cup ' . This cup is to be awarded to the best speller in the commercial department each semester. Last semester it was awarded to Lorraine Davis. 56 GERMAN CLUB Spring Semester Clarence Zens Lucille Reinke Grant Stueber Alex Temmer Fall Semester Hector Mayer President Gordon Brandt Vice-President Howard Gottlieb Secretary Ernest Temmer Treasurer Adviser: Miss Wiechers Any Park student who has had one year of German is eligible for membership in the German Club (Der Deutsche Verein). Among the aims of the German Club are these: to aid the German students in using the language fluently: to acquaint the students with the life, background, and folk lore of the German people: and to help the language department in every possible way. Both the German 3 and German 4 classes have one meeting each month during class period. A joint meeting, held after school, also occurs once each month. The presiding officer at these joint gatherings is the president, elected together with the other officers, from the German 4 group. The language of the Fatherland is the sole means of communication during the meetings. However, when the treasurer collects the refreshment assessments (there are no regular dues), only good American money is accepted. Not merely spectators are the members of the German Club, for every person in the organization is asked to serve on the program committees, to whom the entertainment at each meeting is entrusted. Many of the most notable events in the club ' s history have taken place during this past year. The song, The Man on the Flying Trapeze was translated into German by Grant Stueber, the brothers Temmer, and Emil Dahlen: June Jorqensen and Gertrude Brix sang on the German hour over radio station WRJN; and a new con- stitution was written and edited by Alex Temmer and Emil Dahlen.

EINSTEINITES Fall Semester Paul Coonley William Hood Howard Gottlieb Spring Semester President Gwendolyn Roberts Vice-President Howard Gottlieb Secretary-Treasurer Harry Schultz Adviser: Miss Potter The Einsteinites, made up of Park ' s mathematically inclined students, meet every other Monday noon at 12:05 in room 327. During the meetings the members delve into the higher study of math unappreciated by indifferent students. The general subjects of the programs are the history of mathematics, the study of the slide rule, every day applications of math, mathematical skits, use of the transit, and mathematical puzzles and fallacies. Several field trips are made during the semester. The main highlights of this year ' s activities were a trip to the World ' s Fair in October and a Christmas party. Eighteen of the members went to the Fair with Miss Potter, the adviser, to view the mathematical exhibits in the Hall of Science. The mathematical theme of the Christmas party was carried out by means of a treas- ure hunt (in which the directions were in math) and mathematical games of various sorts. The members were given a problem to work out, and points were awarded. The student having the largest total of points was awarded the prize. Students may apply for membership only if they have completed the first semester of algebra. 58 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Fall Semester Spring Semester Lorraine Weyland . President Shirley Crewe Shirley.

S ' instruire en s ' amusant tells the aim and purpose of the club — to instruct oneself while having a good time. After the business section of the meeting is over, the members play French games, sing French songs, or do crossword puzzles — all in French. Sometimes they have musical programs consisting of the works of the famous French composers; and sometimes talks on French ar+, architecture, music, or literature are presented. Each semester several French plays are given by the members of the club. This year L Avocat Pothelin , Le Medecin Mystifie , and a Christmas play were presented. The club also possesses a large scrap book to which members have contributed many pictures and articles pertaining to the French language or to France and its customs, art, music, industries, historical events, and contemporary leaders in all fields of endeavor. Students must have completed at least one year in the French department to be- come eligible for membership in Le Cercle Frangais . The club meets in room 232 on alternate Tuesdays, under the sponsorship of Miss Margaret Knudsen.

TRI ALPHA Fall Semester Spring Semester Catherine Weeks President Lorraine Weyland Sue Rodgers Vice-President Frances Schulz Frances Schulz Secretary Margaret Smith Lorraine Weyland Treasurer Myrtle Christenson Adviser: Miss Hunter The Tri Alpha Club is composed of about one hundred Park High girls. Meetings are held twice a month, on every first and third Wednesday. During the course of the year, Tri Alpha undertakes numerous tasks and entertainments. First of all, a sopho- more reception is held. Then when a girl is initiated into the club at the Sophomore Initiation she takes this oath: As a Tri Alpha girl, I pledge with loyalty and sincerity to develop character, to give friendship, and to serve my school. I shall always try to make my club the best, as I shall also try to be deserving of Tri Alpha. For the purpose of acquainting the fathers of the members, a Dads ' Night is sponsored. With Christmas comes the traditional Christmas program, to which Tri Alpha contributes its services each year. Following this are the Senior Reception and election of new officers. A new semester then opens. Again the initial ceremonies take place. This year a St. Patrick ' s Day party was given (each girl inviting her escort), then perhaps the loveliest entertainment of all, the Mothers ' Day Tea. In addition to the Tri Alpha girls ' mothers, all of the teachers are welcome. For this occasion the library over- flows with flowers, sentiment, and chatter. Once again the time comes around to bid the seniors farewell, and once again a sophomore reception occurs. 60 • SENIOR WICHAKA Spring Semester Ruth Schroeder Shirley Crewe Dorothy Martin Constance Johnson Fall Semester Ethel Dvorak President Jean Trauger Vice-President Betty Tennessen Secretary Beatrice Allen Treasurer Adviser: Miss Olivia Baker The Senior Wichaka is one of the three small groups that go to make up the whole Wichaka Club. The club, consisting of about thirty senior girls, is under the adviser ship of Miss Olivia Baker. Meetings are held three Wednesdays of every month; the fourth Wednesday the senior group meets with the juniors and sophomores for the general meeting. Each Wichaka member is a junior member of the Y.W.C.A. These girls cooperate with the Y.W.C.A. in many of its projects; for example, the Country Fair. Each semester the club carries out some project of its own. The last was the making of little pairs of yarn dolls in school colors. These were sold among students and teachers. Previous to that, cloth dogs were made at the meetings and sold in an effort to raise money to send one or more members to camp during the summer. Many good times were had in the past year and Wichaka is looking forward to a full program next year.

JUNIOR WICHAKA The Junior Group of the Wichaka Club is made up of the second year students at Park. Any junior girl who will promise to live up to the Girl Reserve slogan, pur- pose, and code is eligible for membership to the club. The meetings are held on every Wednesday night at four o ' clock, except the third Wednesday of every month, when all three groups come together for a general meeting in the music room. The junior group has cooperated with the sophomore and senior groups in presenting the football banquet, the faculty and alumni teas, the Christmas party, Hallowe ' en party, and the St. Patrick ' s day dance. The club filled Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets, sponsored several candy sales, and had a very successful Pot Luck Supper at the Y.W.C.A. The officers for the fall semester were June Christenson, president; Doris Gilmore, vice-president; Virginia Day, secretary; and Margaret Cowley, treasurer. The officers for the spring semester were Gladys Day, president; June Dvorak, vice-president; June Christenson, secretary; and Marion Thorgerson, treasurer. SOPHOMORE WICHAKA The sophomores are welcomed to Wichaka Club by a reception given by the senior and junior groups at the beginning of every semester. The candle ceremony, pre- sented every semester, is the formal initiation; and the new members make their pledge to become loyal, true members of the Girl Reserve. Like the juniors and seniors, they aid in preparing programs for the general meetings and in carrying out the general activities of the year. They elect their own officers each semester, and the meetings consist of business, programs, and refreshments. Each year the group tries in various ways to raise enough money to send one of its members to the Girl Reserve camp. This year the Sophomore Wichaka filled Christmas baskets and Easter baskets for the children of the Taylor Home. The officers for the fall semester were Mildred Barta, president; Carol Mortensen, vice-president; Marion Corsie, secretary- and Phyllis Brown, treasurer. Those for the spring semester were Margaret Dudish, president; June Evenson, vice-president; Marion Jarosh, secretary; and La Verne Feichter, treasurer. 62 SOPHOMORE HI-Y The Hi-Y at Park is a growing organization. In 1932 it grew so large that it was divided into two groups; the Senior and Sophomore. The Sophomore Hi-Y has now decided to stop growing and is limiting its membership to a maximum of twenty, which was thought sufficient for the club roll. Mr. Berven is the adviser of the Sophomore Hi-Y. The club had very few activities in the fall semester other than the initiation of new members, but became more active in the spring. This year during initiation the new members had to propose to certain girls everytime they (the initiates) were seen by the older members. The new members were later formally initiated at the Y.M.C.A. and consoled afterward by a banquet and a swim. The officers for the fall semester were Jack Thompson, president; Allan Porter, vice-president; and Richard Ritz, secretary. Martin Smith officiated during the spring semester with the help of Quinten Hammes as vice-president and John Vande Bunt as secretary. SENIOR HI-Y Almost heading the list of the oldest clubs in Park, the Senior Hi-Y is composed of young men selected from the two upper classes. The club ' s program for each semester is arranged so that it will help to promote the physical well-being, social advancement, spiritual enrichment, and mental de- velopment of its members and associates. The club meets every Wednesday night at the Y.M.C.A. under the advisership of Mr. Iselin. Speakers are invited to talk on present day problems and other sub- jects, and joint meetings are held with the Senior Hi-Y of Horlick and of Kenosha. This year ' s highlights include a Hi-Y Jamboree held in cooperation with the Y.M.- C.A., an athletic banquet, and a Go to-College week. Other numbers on the club ' s program are a Lenten service, a boys and girls relations talk, a theatre party, and a May ball, which ends the activities. The officers for the two semesters were Curtis Washburn and Harold Savides, presidents; Ever Hammes and Norman Shovers, vice-presidents; Harold Savides and Le Roy Behncke, secretaries; John Lamb and Arthur Lucarel, treasurers.

DEBATE CLUB Fall Semester Spring Semester Andrew Madsen President Robert Freres Louise Thompson Vice-President Martin Clancy Jack Pinard Secretary Louise Thompson Leonard Korf Treasurer Adviser: Mrs. Elizabeth Felten The Debate Club, made up of members of the debate class, has closed another season under the guidance of Mrs. Elizabeth Felten. This group, composed of students who must have at least a G average, meets two or three times a week as a regular class but conducts itself as a club, electing officers every semester. As a member of the Wisconsin Forensic Association, the club engaged in the state- wide tournament, debating on the national question of Federal aid to education. Although most of the members were inexperienced, the team always gave a good account of itself, and all the debates were close. The affirmative team consisted of Louise Thompson, Morris Friedman, and William Beyer. This team lost to the strong Washington High School team of Milwaukee, but defeated Horlick High School. The negative team, consisting of Martin Clancy, Robert Freres, and Edwin Roberts lost to Kenosha and to Horlick by close decisions. In addition to participating in assembly debates at Washington Park and at Hor- lick, they debated Washington High of Milwaukee in our own library. A discussion and refreshments followed the debate. In order to raise money to pay the judges and to purchase material for reference work, the club sold paddle-pops at the Hi-Y Jamboree and conducted other projects. With four of the members of the debate team returning next year, the Debate Club looks forward to a successful season. 64 CHESS CLUB Fall Semester Spring Semester Emil Zenko President Alex Temmer Arthur Ruben Vice-President Bill Schroeder Helen Kapaun Secretary-Treasurer Marcia Ruben Adviser: Miss Perham The Chess Club meets every Thursday in room 125 with Miss Dorothy Perham as adviser, to play chess and do enough business to get chess sets and pay for their picture in this book. Anyone can join the club, and no dues are collected. At present there are thirty members, while last year there were only twenty. The tournament this semester, because of the increased size of the club, was an elimina- tion affair. Last year every member played every other. Bill Schroeder, Elmer Shovers, and Philip Dahlberg were in charge of this semester ' s tournament. Arthur Ruben had charge of the tournament of the first semester. Taking part in the Hi-Y Jamboree took up much of the club ' s time this semester and last. The committee in charge of the club ' s part was Arthur Ruben, Emil Zenko, and Alex Temmer. On October 22, the club had a successful candy sale which netted more than the Jamboree. A new constitution was started this year by Helen Kapaun, Ray Lange, Alex Tem- mer, Emil Zenko, and Mary Simopulis. Emil Zenko, however, did most of the work. A publicity committee has been chosen and consists of George Mauger, Robert Wilfong, and Edgar Hastie. Their job is to get new members and make signs telling of our meetings. The Chess Club announces Edward Bishop as champion chess player of the school. Last semester the champion was Bill Schroeder.

The Washington Park chapter has been in existence for five years. To be elected to Quill and Scroll, a candidate must be in the upper third of his class scholastically, he must have done distinctive work in some phase of high school publication work, he must be recommended by the journalism adviser in his school, and he must be approved by a national officer of the society. For the first time in the history of the Park chapter, two members of the Kipi staff, Le Roy Behncke and Nancy Simonson, were elected to Quill and Scroll this year. Recognition and rewarding of ability and achievement in writing and other phases of journalistic work are the purpose of the organization. The officers for the fall semester were Bill Lovell, president; Helen Lyle, vice-presi- dent: Eileen Daly, secretary-treasurer. In the spring, Jack Jerstad officiated as presi- dent; Clarence Zens as vice-president; and Le Roy Behncke as secretary-treasurer. SCIENCE CLUB Star gazers, chemists, biologists, geologists, physicists compose the Science Club of Washington Park High School. The club has Mr. F. F. Rogers for adviser. The members discuss different phases of science and make trips to the various plants such as the Isendrath Tannery, the Racine Gas Plant, and Racine Water Plant. They also invite speakers to explain to the club various up-to-date scientific accom- plishments which make our life ' s work easier. The Science Club meets in room 320, which is the chemistry room, on the first and third Tuesday of every month, and after the business meeting, all members have a chance to present their talent as every member is asked to serve on the program committee at some time or other during the semester. The officers for the fall semester were Albert Ruszcyk, president; Bob Rasmussen, vice-president; and Adele Glebs, secretary. The officers for the spring semester were Albert Ruszczyk, president; Bob Rasmussen, vice-president; and Stanley Glebis, secretary. • S6 • RIFLE CLUB The Washington Park High Rifle Club was organized in 1929. Immediately after its organization, it became affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Its purpose is to teach the attributes of concentration, obedience, courtesy, self-control, and ac- curacy. The main object is to teach clean sportsmanship among boys. Members have the opportunity to develop their marksmanship by taking part in national, mid-western, interscholastic, and individual competitive meets. There are three main classifications: marksman, sharpshooter, and expert rifleman. In the spring semester, the club held a shoulder-to-shoulder match to determine the best marksman of the club during that semester. Members have a chance to win government recognition by shooting at the outdoor range. The officers for the fall semester were Frank Hay, president; Zeno Urbush, vice- president; Nick Zabit, secretary; and Curtis Krogh, treasurer. The officers for the spring semester were Carl Schulz, president; Oscar Joyner, vice-president; Jack Smith, secretary; and Robert Prideaux, treasurer. The adviser is Mr. LaBonde. LIBRARY CLUB Organized in 1925 to create, maintain, and promote a general interest in library work in the school, the Library club, under the supervision of Miss Jones, plays ap im- portant part in the school. Students who have a G average and who are interested in library work are eligible for membership in the club. The members are given an opportunity to become active assistants in the school library, and only those who work at least one hour every day in the library are eligible for election to offices in the club. On the third Monday of each month the club holds a meeting of a literary nature, followed by games and refreshments. The Library club has fall and spring picnics, and parties celebrating Hallowe ' en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Washington ' s birthday, St. Patrick ' s day, and Easter. The officers for the fall semester were Arline Brinkman, president; Karen Lauritsen, vice-president; and Florence Meyers, secretary-treasurer. The officers for the spring semester were Elsie Miruch, president; Beatrice Allen, vice-president; Gertrude West- berg, secretary-treasurer.

WRONG FONT CLUB The printing club, launched last semester, grew out of a need for an organization that could help those vitally interested in the subject of printing. The club was or- ganized in order to unify advanced printing students scattered through the six periods of the day; to promote a deeper interest in printing by field trips, talks by men in the trade, and motion pictures: to improve school, shop, and printing course by making improvements in shop equipment, shop arrangement, and a free discussion of the needs of printing students; to study printing problems; and to keep abreast of modern development in the printing field. The club has made field trips, and has managed the printing of the Park High Handbook, the district basketball tournament program, the senior announcements, and smaller jobs. The spontaneous interest and enthusiasm in the club activities, thus far, promises success to the future undertakings of the club. The club is open to Printing 4 students and above with a G average in printing. The officers for the fall semester were Charles Becker, president; Robert Fries, vice-president; and Maxine Lingsweiler, secretary-treasurer. Those for the spring semester were Robert Fries, president; Edwin Starke, vice-president; Charles Becker, secretary; and Haven Larsen, treasurer. ESPERANTO CLUB The Esperanto Club members no longer have to come to school so early in the morning. The meeting hour was changed from 7:30 in the morning on Tuesday to 4:10 on Thursday afternoons. Esperanto, the universal language, was compiled by Dr. Zamenhof. Dr. Zamenhof believed that everyone should keep his native speech but should also know the uni- versal language, which helps to further world communication, international culture and understandings, commercial agreement ' s, and world peace. So these hopeful students meet under the advisership of Miss Harvey to study from their green books. This book consists of ten lessons, one of which is studied every meeting. The officers for the fall semester were Albert Cairo, president; Helen Cole, vice- president; and Jewel Anderson, secretary-treasurer. The officers for the spring semes- ter were Jewel Anderson, president; Ruth Danielson, vice-president; and Helen Cole, secretary-treasurer. 68 PARK SNAPPERS Members of the Photography Club may be seen dashing around the school building, at a football or basketball game, crashing a party with a camera plus lighting eguipment, snapping pictures for the school annual. The club works in conjunction with, but not as a part of, the Kipi staff. The Park Snappers were organized as a club, with Mr. Vornholt as adviser in 1934, to promote more interest in photography. To belong to the club one must have an acceptable scholastic average. Aggressive members learn how to take, develop, and print pictures. At the meetings, which are held every Tuesday noon in room 318, talks are given pertaining to the different phases of photography. Pictures are sold throughout the semester by the club. The officers for the fall semester were Joel Barrett, president; Ruth Jensen, secre- tary; and Bob Overstreet, treasurer. The officers for the spring semester were Jose- phine Podlucky, president; Aubrey Stibgen, vice-president; Dimmock Steeves, secre- tary; and Ruth Huffman, treasurer. TABLE TENNIS CLUB The Table Tennis Club under the advisership of Miss Pennefeather is one of the newest clubs in school. The club meets every Friday night in the small room adjacent to the girls ' gym and in the small room across the corridor where, in spite of the cramped space, many fierce battles take place. Social events are held occasionally during the semester. The club boasts of four champions: John Hofheimer won the state championship for the 15 year old class in a tournament held in Milwaukee, Isadore Kanevsky cap- tured the first place in the city tournament in the men ' s class; Jean Kleckner took the first place in the girls ' contest in the county and city-wide Y.M.C.A. tournament; and Arthur Grant won the championship of the 18 year old boys ' class in the same tourna- ment. The officers for the fall semester were Jean Kleckner, president; Henry Janes, vice- president; Russell Jorgensen, secretary; and Bob Wood, treasurer. Those for the spring semester were Jean Kleckner, president; Russell Jorgenson, vice-president; and Alfred Hansen, secretary-treasurer. Top Row: John Hofheimer, Isadore Kanevslcy, Leonard Korf.

AUDUBON CLUB An organization of bird lovers whose purpose is to foster interest in birds and to protect bird life is a good description of the oldest club in Park High. The winter meetings are held inside on alternating Thursday mornings at 7:30, and various phases of bird life are discussed and experiences of the members with bird life are related. During the spring and fall, the meetings are in the form of field trips. During the year Auduboners maintain feeding stations in Washington Park, partici- pate in the National Bird Census, and keep a bird calendar. The club ' s activities also include a fall breakfast, a trip to the Milwaukee Museum during Christmas vaca- tion, and then the May breakfast which is the crowning event of the year. Officers in the fall and spring semesters were William Fabish and Jack Jerstad, presidents; Bob Spika and Jean Trauger, vice-presidents: Jean Trauger and Paul Coonley, secretaries: and Helen Lyle and Betty Mann, treasurers. Miss Du Four is the adviser. CARTOON CLUB During the past year, the Cartoon Club under the direction of Miss Helen Sawyer, adviser, has seen some very interesting times. Previous to the Hi-Y Jamboree, they made posters advertising the affair, while at the celebration silhouettes were cut and portraits were drawn. Scarcity of members caused a membership campaign. There have been girl car- toonists in the club in the past, and one of the main objects of the drive then was to secure some. The campaign turned out moderately well with quiet a few boys joining. The officers for the fall semester were Donald Adrianson, president; Edward May- land, vice-president: Harold Carriere, secretary and treasurer. Because of their ex- cellent service during their first term of office, the same officers were re-elected for the spring semester. • 70 • 5 ? - HA ■MM CHEERLEADERS: Charles Jurgaifis. Philip Dahlberg, Orland Hare. COACH: Thomas (Red) Hearden. DEDICATION To our new red-headed fighting Irish Coach, Thomas Hearden, who had the power to install that well-known fighting Notre Dame spirit in his boys, which helped to win games for Park and who also is an advocate of fair play and good sportsmanship on the field as weli as in the audience, we The sports staff of the 1935 Kipikawi, deem it an honor to dedicate this ath- letic section and may he carry on the work he is doing to brighten Park ' s fame. Thomas {Red) Hearden, Knute Rocknes pupil, who played half-back on the Notre Dame teams of 1 924- 25, in 1926 was rewarded for his services by being elected captain. Graduating from the school in 1927, he had a post graduate course at Wisconsin. He in- creased his football ability when he played profession- al football for two years with the Green Bay Packers. Coach Hearden before coming to Park held a simi- lar position at St. Catherines, where he produced some winning teams. Various activities were promoted to help boys to enjoy athletics who otherwise were unable to participate because of the lack of ability to make the school team. He has promoted intra- mural sports such as boxing, wrestling, and basketball. Richard Hallisy, line coach and second team basket- ball instructor, learned his football at Whitewater, where he played guard and tackle. In 1928 he was elected captain of his team. He also served as assis- tant football and basketball coach at Ambray High School in Illinois before coming to help our coaches out. He is the one who teaches the boys the funda- mentals of the game and serves as the line coach for our team. Besides teaching classes and coaching he advises the R club which is made up of boys who have earned letters in various school sports. Leigh Steinman coached our Freshman B team suc- cessfully as their victories over Burlington and Union Grove indicate. He is end from Ripon of known fame. He received for his work a berth on the Mid- west Conference eleven. He is physical director at Franklin Junior High at present. Mr. Steinman ' s job was to encourage the sopho- more and junior boys who are unable to make the football team to learn the fundamentals of football so as to make the A squad the following year. 7 2 • INTRAMURAL SPORTS Fast games, slow games, rough games, and close games were the results of the noon intramural basket- ball conference held in the gym during the basketba ' season to give the boys a chance to play the length of the floor as the basketball team does in a game. This system, inaugurated by Mr. Hearden , promotes good sportsmanship and enables him to pick the out- standing boys in this tournament for the material for next year ' s school team. The Lions won the heavy- weight division easily while the Managers and Octopi won the light-weight and midget division respectively. There are new champs in school because of the annual wrestling tournament held under the sponsor- ship of the Wrestling club of Park High advised by Mr. Guy Weaver. Awards will be given to Otto Nally, bantam class on default; Kenneth Fought, feather class; Walter Pottorf, light-weight class; Leonard Car- riere, welter-weight champ; Richard Jensen, middle- weight class; Leonard Ziolkowski, light-heavy-weight class, and Charles Doboshinski is the new heavy- weight champ, winning on refs decision. The referee was Guy Weaver. The boxing tournament showed that Herman Pan- cher won the 119 pound class; Walter Pottorf, the 135; Charles Lloyd and Harry Mielcareck, the 137 by a draw; u i n Hammes, the 12 ; Charles Huffer and Bob Carrol, the 155. Sock Davis won the 160 pound class and is crowned champ. Above: In wrestling room; Coach Weaver; Golf Squad: LeRoy May, John Feiner, and Milo Rasmussen. Below: Managers; Octopi.

FOOTBALL-REVIEW OF SEASON We are proud of our football men for they have demonstrated a good offensive and defensive playing when they whipped West, Beloit, and Janesville and allowed their opponents twenty-six points to their one hundred. They made most of their gains in running, seldom in passing, although our passing attack was very effective when needed. Coach Hearden inaugurated the Notre Dame system, which proved successful; for as the record reveals Park had one loss, two t ies, and four wins. The major awards went to Robert Fries, Charles Doboshinski, John Christiano, Charles Becker, Curtis Washburn, Harry May, Wallace Patrick, Fred Venturelli, John Lamb, Harold Nitzke, Richard Roman, Edwin Starke, William Jacko, Raymond Kayon, Harold Nordentoft, Everette Davis, John Haasch, William Serpe, Ever Hammes.

PARK VS. SOUTH MILWAUKEE September 22. Park ' s first victory of the season came when they defeated South Milwaukee in a non-conference tilt. Because of a new system and green team, Park was unable to score heavily. The score was 6-0. PARK VS. MADISON WEST September 29. Park ' s first conference victory of the season came when they de- feated Madison West, 33-7. Brilliant display of football work made possible this victorv.

Park ' s first and only defeat of the season was dealt to them by a fast Madison East team by a score of 13-7. Park showed a weak defensive team during the first half which resulted in a disastrous effect; for East, during this period, scored two touchdowns. Park came back strong during the last half to score a touchdown and extra point, but failed to carry the ball over for the second time. PARK VS. BELOIT October 13. Park ' s running and aerial attack made possible another victory. Ham- mes, our star football player, made three of the touchdowns to give us a score of 26-6. PARK VS. JANESVILLE October 20. Three touchdowns in seven minutes of play assured Park of another victory and a chance for a high place in the conference standings. Recovering most of the fumbles caused by a muddy field also aided the Orange and Blue to victory. The final score was 32-0. PARK VS. KENOSHA October 27. Football fans saw- the Kenosha eleven and Park warriors in a sensational display of real football playing. No one team seemed superior and the only reward for a hard-fought game was a tie, 0-0. PARK VS. CENTRAL November 3. Plowing and swimming in the mud and rain only resulted in a heart- breaking tie for Park. Park was the superior team, but due to a muddy field and water puddles, it wasn ' t able to show it. This game, instead, was a punting duel with Fries doing the punting for Park. As the records reveal, Park kicked 20 times to Central ' s 23. PARK VS. HORLICK November 1 2. The Southsiders again rejoiced in a victory over the Northside in a sensational display of furious and fast football action. Horlick tried courageously to end the succession of Park ' s victories, but failed as the score showed Park in the lead, 6-0. The lone touchdown came in the third quarter when Hammes smashed the line to score. 75 ALL TIME RECORD W L Kenosha 40 10 Central 36 16 Beloit 31 20 Park 27 24 East 26 27 West .8 21 Janesville 1 3 42 Horlick 9 30 T 10 800 9 692 10 607 9 529 8 490 6 275 6 234 3 071 Football Managers: Walter Kis, Emil Larsen, James Paulson, Henry Jor- genson, Ralph Elsmo.

BASKETBALL-REVIEW OF SEASON Park ' s boys stepped out like a live wire when they won three out ot five games, losing two on a close score and overtime respectively. Mid-semester graduation took away three lettermen, Hammes, Schulz, and Bielcik, consequently weakening the team. I hey had enough power lett to again defeat Horlick but bowed to the others in the second period of the big eight conference tournament. Major awards went to: Ever Hammes, Richard Schulz, John Bielcik, George Seater, John Smith, Raymond Kayon, Fred Adzima, and Bob Fries. W. P.

PARK VS. ALUMNI December 8. Coach Hearden ' s basketball team turned in its first victory of the season when they defeated the Alumni. Score 18-7. PARK VS. BELOIT December 14. Kayon ' s free throw and Smith ' s field goal gave our boys their first conference victory of the season. Because the referee didn ' t hear the timer ' s horn Beloit had an opportunity to be out in front by one point, and Kayon ' s free throw tied the game. During the overtime Smith scored a field goal and Seater a free throw to put Park out in front. Score 25-23. PARK VS. CENTRAL December 21. Park ' s first conference set-back was dealt to them by a fighting Central team. Determined to win the game, Central stepped out in the second half with a well executed defense and offense to win by a score of 27-26. PARK VS. EAST GREEN BAY December 29.

DISTRICT TOURNAMENT The District Tournament was held at our school on March 15 and 16, with the Kenosha Red Devils winning this tournament. Kenosha eliminated South Milwaukee, leaders in the suburban league of their city, and trounced Hor- lick in the finals by a score of 9 to 34. Our boys lost to Horlick by one point, I 6 to 17, and took a whipping from a fast-breaking South Milwaukee quintet by a score of I 5 to 26. This whip- ping given to our boys was due to South Milwaukee ' s ability to make free throws and field goals. Park in both the Horlick and South Milwaukee games missed many an easy field goal as well as free throws. Trophies went to Kenosha, winners, and South Milwaukee, consolation winners. Kenosha and Horlick men each received medals for winner and runner-up respectively. Kenosha and South Milwaukee in District Tournament. R GIRLS A girl who has not worked for an R has no idea how much work it requires. It takes a whole year of hard work that demands that the girls remain after school two or three nights a week. In order to secure her R each girl must present at the end of the year a total of 125 points. In order to obtain these she must participate in ten games in each of the four major sports, hockey, basketball, volley ball, and baseball. Sixty points are to be procured in individual sports such as: tennis, golf, horseback rid- ing, badminton, archery, roller skating, skiing, tobog- ganing, snowshoeing, swimming, bowling, hiking and canoeing. Not more than ten points are allowed for one sport. The remaining 25 points are non-activity requirements. All the girls are to keep a health chart for eight weeks each semester. A physical examina- tion brings five points. Other points are given for leadership, refereeing, and scholarship. Every girl, be- sides, must be a member of a class team which plays in a championship tournament. A great many lasting friendships have been formed among the R girls.

It affords its members an opportunity to participate in many sports and to assume responsibility in planning and conducting the activities. A joint play day is sponsored for the sophomores by Park and Horlick G.A.A. ' s. Park is hostess in the fall, and Horlick in the spring. Park is planning to make it a custom to entertain the Junior High schools once a year. The girls bowl Monday evenings at the Y.M.C.A. Teams have been formed among the girls and a tournament is be- ing run off to find the outstanding team and also to stimu- late interest. In the fall semester, Verna Rasmussen held the office of president of the club. Mildred Sadlon was elected vice- president; Martha Peterson, secretary; and Lois Jensen, treasurer. Spring elections allowed Alice Fazen to wield the gavel, and Mable Larson to assume this duty when Alice took a vacation. Lydia Madsen kept the records and Viola Larson saw to it that everybody paid their dues.

Hockey is a mighty interesting game, especially when everybody ' s feet get twisted around one hockey stick and no one can find the ball! But seriously speaking, hockey does require some brain work and can you ever freeze when the cold weather drops in for a visit! Class teams were selected by Mrs. McCall, who is coach for the major sports. And speaking of hockey, Mrs. McCall has an adorable Eastern accent and has never been East. She ' s a native of Illinois. She received her B. E. degree from Western State Teachers College, where she became assistant in the biology lab. She eliminates the girls one by one until only the most skilled of the players remain on the field. Eleven players and two or three subs con- stitute the team. The girls then elect their captains and the fun is on. Rain, and rain only, keeps the girls from playing. Class assistants lay out the hockey field. And when the dew drops from the clouds, the whole field has to be relaid. (No groans, please!) Here ' s a list of the girls who led the Juniors to victory: Mabel Larson (captain), Marjorie Allert, Doris Gilmore, Violet Renpaul, Grace Mandernack, Dolores Kowales, Ann Palatino, June Christensen, Carol Ostlund, Mae Steele, Helen Heck. Subs: Marie Goodland, Virginia De Schmidt, Elenora Seeger, Mary Emma Wyman.

VOLLEY BALL The sophs have a reason for sticking up their noses at juniors and seniors. They won the volley ball championship by defeating the juniors 79 to 40 and the seniors 50 to 36. To be eligible for the team the girls must pass a difficult accuracy test. Having passed the test with a high enough average, they are assured of a place on a team according to classification, sophomore, junior, or senior. Ciel Walek captained the triumphant volley ball team. Jo Ann Feczko, Charlotte Kersten, Helen Anderson, Lois Johnson, Irene Pav- lik, Dorothy Harding, Helen Savides, and Lucille Walek were her teammates. Ruth Nelson was captain of the junior team. Other members were: Doris Gilmore, Mabel Larson, Victoria Ritkevicz, Dorothy Mae And- erson, Dorothy Murphy, Theodora Nielsen, and Violet Renpaul. Alice Peterson and Marion Thogerson were subs. With Martha Peterson as captain and Alice Fazen, Jewel Lange, Dorothy Koskey, Jean Koch, Hazel Weber, Dolores Behl, Betty Ten- nessen and Lee Ann Falligant as members of the team, the seniors lost both their games.

Not being content with the volley ball championship, they satisfied themselves further by squelching the upper-classmen again by winning the basketball championship. But then who can do anything against the Walek twins, anyway? The teams for after school work are divided into two leagues, A and B. Champs of +he A league were I Keys , winners of six games. The Pointers came in sec- ond, the winners of five games. Dropper Inners , Kay Sinkers , and Sure Shots are tied for first place. None of these teams has lost a game. Hazel Weber, Rebecca Gelman, Ruth Nelson, Alice Fazen, June K. Christensen, Margaret Peterson, Dorothy Jane Nelson, and Doris Gilmore were the referees. Miss M. Esther Shaw is the director of the girls ' athletic work. Her home is way down among the cornfields in Onedia, Illinois. She was graduated from Knox with a B. S. degree and an M. S. from Wellesley. When the girls have a bump on the head or a finger poked in their eyes, Miss Shaw is the one they go to for sympathy and doctoring up. The members of the winning sophomore team are: Lucille Walek, captain; Ciel Walek, Eleanor Novak, Helen Kwas, Odile Loendorf, and Bernice Tomczak. Upper Left: Basketball Practice Upper Right: Coaches Lower : Basketball Practice ■IHHi GYM FROLICS Badminton is a comparatively new game here at Park. It was introduced about two years ago and has been growing steadily more and more popular. The courts are much like tennis but the net is suspended in the air. The racquets are light- weight and not constructed so strongly. Instead of a tennis ball, a shuttlecock is used. This contraption looks like an Indian headdress with its white feathers and little round rubber bottom. One can play singles or doubles. A tournament was run off this spring. The girls enjoyed the balmy breezes Thursday, April 25, when they went out for the first time for baseball. It promises to be a great season with keen competition because the upper-classmen swear they are going to keep those sophs from winning the baseball tournament. Yes, the girls will even go so far as to stand on their heads for Miss Shaw but that ' s for tumbling. A few weeks were spent on this phase of work in class just after volley ball was concluded. A tennis and golf tournament was sponsored by G.A.A. this spring. Both had many entries and proved to be a big success.
