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.

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

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 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.

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.
