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

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

' - 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.

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
