1. LESMEMOIRES Z 'ns twenty-two HAROLD KOCH Professor Class Basketball, 3: Track, 3: Operrlta. I-2-3-4. ll:-Y, 4: Orchestra, I-Z-3-4: Band, I-2-5-4: Glu- Cfulr, 3-45 Lis Memolrcs. 4: Echo 4: Honor Student. Until 1930 it was Koch: now, it's Koke. He didn't increase in size or importance in the last year. That's why there is no ex- planation for this change in pronounciation. One of his nick- names is Three-point. Everyone knows his ambition and pastime is aviation, because he doesn't attempt to conceal it. He doesn't afford us as much amusement anywhere as he does on the stage. The band and orchestra hive found him indes- pensible. He is as nearly perfect in everything as a boy can be. His life won't be considered worth-while until he invents a practical problem that even he can't solve. He's tried hard enough. MARIAN KROCK Krockie Class Basketball, l-2-3: Operetta, 2-4: Stamp Cub, 4: Qirl lieserws, l-Z-3-4, President: Cleo Club, l-J-3-4: Les Hemoires, 4: Echo, 3: Class Treasurer, Z-3-4. Marian has been in many schools in her twelve years, but evi- dently she likes Wilson the best, as she has been here for five years. Although she always seems to be talking and joking, she really has some serious moments-for instance when she calls the Girl Reserves' meeting to order. She was very serious also on the Hrst night of Jerry of Jericho Road, when she had a leading role. Marian is going to Lankenau and will be- come one of the many future nurses that the class of 1931 will produce, And we hear her say as she reads this. Well, for goodness sake, or You wouldn't kid me, would you? , or Check! JOSEPH KUZMA Joe Football, Z-3-4: Varsttq Basketball. 2: films Bzshethallf I-3-4: Operetta, 3: Electrician Senior Play: Hi-Y. 3-4. Kuzma is the Man who is not seen or heard at the thea'rical productions of the High School. Yet. if he were absent, some- thing would go wrong, He's the head electrician and also helps at the carpentry of the stage. Then too, Joe was one of the important mainstays of our football and baseball teams. He is another one of our quiet boys but is a good worker. Anything he tackles will have to look out for itself. WILLIAM LAMBERT 'ABiII Hi-Y, 4: Orchestra, I-Z-3-4: filer Club. 4: Les rllcrntrirrs, 4. An old time fiddler with theatrical aspirations, such is the sad case of our friend on the left. Bill has a knack for writing stories and sketches which has made him an invaluable asset to the Les Memoires staff. In thc orchestra he has been indispen- sible because of his ability and reliability. In an interview, William made a statement to the effect that he would like to follow the theatrical profession. So, girls. treat him with the proper amount of consideration for perhaps in the near future he will be in the position to furnish free passes to all the hits of the season.

f l LES MEMOIRES ADA HUTCHISON Hutch Varsity 1iuxhv1ha'l, J-3-4, Captain: Cfuss liuslcctball, lg Curl Rt'serr.'t-s, I-I-4. Little but mighty -that's Ada. When she leads our girls' basketball team to victory, we wonder how it's possible. But it isf Ada seems unusually quiet to most of the class, but her friends and pals know that she can talk and joke with the best of them. She is going to Patterson Hospital, and we're all willing to wager that with her personality, she will be a big help to them. BEATRICE JoNEs Beetle Auszz'n Bee Class Basketball, I-2-3-4: Operetta, .I-3-4: Si-mor I'.'ay. 4: Girl Rest'rt't's, 45 Cm-e Club, 1-J-5-45 Echo, 4. Beatrice is the smallest member of our class. but that doesn't mean she isn't noticed. She is always ready to kidd you along and her pleasant personality has secured her many friends. Bee believes in the motto- A light heart lives long. Her intentions are to become a nurse at St, Luke's. and we wish her heaps and heaps of success. We didn't realize her hsti-ionic ability until the Senior play, when she delighted the audience with her impersonations of Amanda. the black Mammy. Keep up the good work, Bee. JOHN KATINIS ShnozzIe l oolht1'l, 4: Orchestra, 5-4: Band. 5-4. John is a man disappointed in life, a man whose life ambition has been forcibly suppressed. It all began one evening when he saw a dance orchestra drummer bounce his sticks on the floor and catch them as they came down. This fired his ambition so that he practiced far, far into the night to learn this trick. After months of ceaseless practice he advanced to a point where he broke only ten panes of glass an evening, when, for no ap- parent reason, his parents told him to desist or never darken their bathtub again. Which explains John's state of melan- cholia. To protect himself from unappreciative neighbors while practicing, John has taken up football and boxing which proves that it's no use crying over spilled milk. Call the cat. MARY KIST Kz'sIy Varsnu liriskvllwull, 1-3-4: Class Basketball. 1: Cl7t'lr.'euder, J-3-4,' Opereltu, 2-3-4g Girl Resertrs, 1-I-I-4g Glee Club, I-2-3-4: Class Secretary, 3-4. Mary has certainly been a great help to us during her four years at school. We either see her leading cheers on the football field or doing her best on the basketball floor, Mary is the best of sports, but beware of that red hair! Her temperament is such that when she makes up her mind to get anything. she goes after it1and gets it! We know she will be a big help as somebody's stenog because of the ability she evinced in keeping the class minutes. May you have health, wealth, and happiness. Goldilocks! twenty-one

LES MEMOIRES 79 '94 HUGH LAUBACH Hughz'e Que Class Basketball, I-2: Oneretla. 4: Senior Plaq. 4: Orchestra. I-Z: Band, 2-3-4: Glee Club, 4. Behold! Another one of our fun-loving. wise-cracking class- mates. We seem to be endowed with these boys. Hugh is al- ways looking on the sunny side of life. making a wise crack out of anything that might be said in a class, or, anywhere for that matter. He takes the monotony from the daily grind. We have yet to see Hugh with a grouch on: i. e.. unless a teacher gets mad at him and tells him where to get off. But nine times out of ten he comes back to his normal self in about two minutes and the sun is shining again. WOODMAN LAUER Woody Zeke Football, J-4: Baseball, 2: Varsity Basketball. I-2-3-4, Capluing Operellu, 3: Senior Play, 4: Hi-Y, 4: Band, I. And here is the other half of the famous Amos 'n Andy pair. This fellow has a title. Yes, Suh! Captain Lauer of the Bas- ketball squad. Vv'hen Woody isn't wise cracking with Freemy. he's busy practicing football, basketball. etc. He's so tall that all he has to do is to reach up and drop the ball in the basket. In dramatics, too, he has many fans. He always manages to secure a humorous role in operettas and plays. What Woody wants to do now is to stop growing up and grow out, But never outgrow your sense of humor, Woody! JOHN MCELROY Mac Football, I-2-3--lf Baseball, 2-Y-4: Varsilq Baslzt'1ba'l, I-I-4: Class Basketball, l. All this boy needs is a suit of armor and we have none other than Sir Galahad, Jr. No one will forget that Mac was one of our main supports in the gridiron line-up. Who knows, but that someday he may be coaching Notre Dame? Stranger and funnier things have happened. Mac is a very quiet boy in classes, except when there's a joke being played on someone. We hope to hear of him as a successful engineer, even if iL is the silent partner of some concern. EDNA MORRIS Eddie Class Basketball, l-2-3-4: Onrrvlla. Z: filet- Club, I-I-154: Echo, 4. Edna is one of those lucky girls blessed with dimples and a perennially sunny expression. Perhaps it's the dimples or maybe its the sunny expression but anyway, something certain- ly seems to attract a certain member of the opposite sex. 'Just gaze on the picture at the left. Can you blame him? ,Edna is a girl who could make good either as a home-maker or as a business woman. Somehow. however, we have a suspicion that the last mentioned career isn't quite so strong an attraction as the Hrst. twenty-three
