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.

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.

' - 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

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
