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

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.

LES MEMOIRES PP. ' ' , ' , T i TTTTif H ,, Y ij fr , j K 3 Q 1 1 i i twenty-four DOROTHY PFENNING Dot Pinot Glce Club, I-2: Opsrctta, Z: Girl Reserves, I-Z-35 Class Bas- ketball, I-2: Echo, 4. Behold Wilson's friendliest blonde! lf you remember as far back as two or three years ago, you will recollect a song about a certain young lady which was entitled Ain't She Sweet? Well, we Seniors feel that the composer wrote it purposely for Dot because it applies in every particular to no one else but. Somehow, Dot always makes one feel pepped up and full of life. Once you know her, you can never forget her. Will you remember us too, Dorothy? GRACE PORTER Pony Class Basketball, 3-4: Opcretta, 3-4: Secretary Stamp Club, 4: Glee Club, Z-3-4: Business Manager, Les Memoires, 4. Here's a girl who should be cheered lustily. It isn't everyone who could fill the position of Business Manager of the Les Memoires as efficiently as Grace. Believe me, in this year of depression and bad times , financing a school publication is no inconsiderable task. When Grace comes out with flying colors, it will be due chiefly to her own ability and initiative and not to any lucky breaks, or unprecedented good fortune. Grace is also a very proficient Mathematics student. Then too, she is well versed in the homely art of cooking. ln fact. Grace can do so many things efliciently that it is difficult to tell just what her future career will be. Let's just wish her luck in anything she does. All-inclusive as that may seem, we're sure she de- serves it. RICHARD RADER Dick Football, 3-4: Baseball, Assistant Manager, 31 Class Basketball, l-Z-3-4: Operetta, 3-45 Senior Play, 4: Hi-Y, 3-4: Band, I-Z: Glee Club, 3-4: Les Mcmoites, 45 Echo, 3-4. As the village cut-up, we think Dick wins the crocheted ice- cream freezer, There is never a dull moment in our lives when he is around. As Tucker in the Senior Play, Dick was sup- posed to be serious. How he ever managed to register solemnity is beyond us, Good work, Dick, and Good Luck. Remember A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. JOHN REESE Johnny Football, 1-2-3-4, Captain: Varsity Basketball, 5-4: Class Basketball, I-2: Operetta. 3: Hi-Y, 4. You are now gazing on the likeness of one of Wilson's greatest athletes. John, as you all know, plays football and basketball. He was our captain of the gridiron this past year. He was-- well, there's no use in trying to tell you about the part he played in the games. We might not give him the credit he de- serves. John is almost as good in studies as he is in athle'ics- at least it disproves the old adage that All athletes are dumb- bells. John shines especially in Problems of Democracy class where he puts up arguments to the dismay of the teacher. Keep it up, John.
