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.

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

LES MEMOIRESg NicHoLAs REGRUT Nick Glee Club, 4. He comes to school. He attends classes. He goes home. Some- t'mes he argues. In fact, he does everything everyone else does but in a more quiet way. Actually he does more. Not more noise, but more studying. An outstanding quality, good or bad, is that he looks at everything in the same tone of voice. He is looking at you now in the same tone of voice he uses in his recitations. It is a safe bet that he will always be the quiet. respectable personage he is today. VICTOR REMALY Vic lfoolball, 3-4g Bust-lmll. 3-4. Lo! and behold! another of our quiet boys or rather. one who seems quiet. In reality he is always and continually mischievous when fun is afoot. Let somebody start something and he'll usually help him out. He also has athletic ability as he evinced when he joined the ranks of the football and baseball squads. the same aggressive If Victor goes after fame and fortune in manner as he grabs footballs and baseballs, we're sure he'll be a big success. ALBERT REPSHER 'IKUUle', Al Boon Football, 1-Z-3-4: Baseball, I-J-3-4, Captain: Varsity liaskul- ball, Z: Class Basketball, 3-4: Hi-Y, 4. The ice truck comes to a stop A young man bo d . un s out blithely, lightly swings a two-hundred pound cake of ice upon h h eac s oulder and skips merrily away. This is Albert Repsher training for another gruelling season of athletics. Al has es- tablished a fine record during his four years of playing football T. f . . . . ime a ter time he has carried the ball for gains which enabled Wilson to win over its opponents. He also pitched in the base- ball contest that broke Nazareth's streak of twenty-live unde- feated games. Albert is very reluctant to tell the public his am- bition but he tells us confidentially that he is striving to displace Paste of Colgate as All-American End. FERMAN RITTER Ferm Hi-Y, 4: Orcheslra, 2-3-4: Baml, I-J-i-45 fileu Club, i-4: Les Mrmolrcx. 4: Honor Sludent. Ethereal strains of music are pouring from the stage. No, sub- .b , . scri er. tis not a convention of Heaven's Harpist Union. No. it is our maestro of the saxophone Ferman Ritter beginnin . . g the legato movement of one of his artistic solos. Ritter's fnot the R'tt f b i er o aked bean famej flair for music has established him as an important mainstay of our band and orchestra. His virtuosity has earned him a place in one of Easton's leading dance h - ' ' orc estras. Fermans keen mathematical mind is Mr. Woehrle's pride and joy. Einstein has his violin: Walton, his piano: and Ritter his saxophone' which all b . , goes to s ow that all scientific minds run to music. Ferman asserts that he wish:s to become an electrical engineer but we know that deep down in his heart, his desire is to compose a love song Grace, I I.ove You Only. twenty-five
