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.

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.

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.
