Ruth Miller Ruth’s outstanding scholastic ability gained her membership in the National Junior Honor Society. She is a member of the B. H. S. Band, Tri-Hi-Y, and Tru-Blu. Ruth plans to continue her education in the field of higher mathematics. Ruth will succeed in whatever she tries because she is willing to work hard. Kathryn Mohney This happy-go-lucky girl firmly believes that all work and no play would make Katie a dull girl; therefore, she finds time for both. Her contagious laughter is heard of ten in Tri-Hi-Y, Tru-Blu, F. H. A. meetings, Special Chorus, and King’s where she is always eating cold fudge sundaes. Richard Mohney Blond, blue-eyed Dick has an unusual ambition —he plans to study refrigeration. Not that he’s the cold type, for we know him as a good-natured, friendly fellow. His special interests are agriculture, hunting, and baseball. Keep cool, Richard. Velva J. Moore Here is a girl who can find a funny side to everything and who likes to argue—especially about the despicable traits of men. It firmly doubted that she believes all those nasty things she says about the male animal. Because of her gay personality, we all enjoy having her around. Patricia Myers The gang would not be complete without Pat, and we will all miss her sunny disposition after we are graduated. At the time the Echo went to press, Pat was highly opposed to matrimony and had expressed a desire to spend her life as a teacher in a mission school. Richard Myers Dick is a very cheerful boy who holds a grudge against no one. He is one of the senior commercial students who did the typing for the Echo in addition to serving on the underclassmen committee. Dick enjoyed singing with the Boys’ Chorus throughout his high school years. His quiet manner and cooperative ways will bring him success. Arthur II. Newcome Arthur has the gift of quietness, but his greatest gift is his pleasant disposition. His popularity among his classmates has not been dimmed by his lack of participation in social activities. Art divides his out-of-school time between the Country Club Dairy Store and a certain brunette senior girl. Ernest Nolph Ernest Nolph left our class to serve some time with the United States Navy. We shall always remember him for his shy smile and speed, and his great enjoyment in farming. Ernest took several prizes with his entries at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. Good Lucl. in the Navy, Ernest.

Dorothy A. Lindemuth Here is a girl who offers a challenge to future Brookville pupils. Although she lives at Hazen and travels quite a distance, Dorothy has never missed a day of school. She has followed the Commercial Curriculum through four years of high school, and her favorite subject is Office Practice. Joyce M. McAfoos Joyce has two major interests in school, P. O. D. and Office Practice. She plans to continue in some type of office work. Her neat appearance anti efficiency well qualifies her for this work. She enjoys the activities of the Commercial Club and the readings of good literature. Marilyn J. McHenry Have any gruesome murders you want solved? Here’s the armchair detective who can take care of such problems, for Mickey finds murder mysteries fascinating. She belongs to the Commercial Club and Tri-Hi-Y. It is said that Mickey has special interests in Sigel, her home town. Dora McKinley Dora is an attractive girl with dark hair and brown eyes. An outstanding student in the Academic Course, she maintained a high record of scholasticism in the Junior Honor Society. She showed her efficiency on the Student Council and the Echo Staff. She also belonged to Tru-Blu, and the French Club. Elizabeth McQuown Danny, as Elizabeth is known about B. H. S. is one of those very efficient girls who work in our library. Her flashing eyes, swinging bangs, and toothpaste-ad smile are enough to put her on the front of a pin-up magazine. Any girl of her calibre will be certain to make the most of life’s opportunities. David G. Matson Dave is a very popular senior and a member of a great many clubs. He was a member of the cast of the Junior Class Play, and the Senior Class Play, an ardent member of the Junior National Honor Society. He belongs to the Hi-Y and Broadcaster’s Club. Dave also belongs to the Speech Club and is Chairman of the Features Committee for the Echo. Norma Jo Mayfield Norma is a lovable character in our school. With her many love tangles and exaggerated troubles, she provides entertainment for all her classmates. She takes the Academic Course, but not too seriously. She belongs to Tri-Hi-Y, Tru-Blu, and P'rench Club. Seriously, Norma is a girl whom we all appreciate. Gerald Mendenhall Jerry has been an active member of the Future Farmers since he started high school. He has held most of the offices in the organization at one time or another. Last year he was Vice President, and this year the President. Jerry sees farming as his future, and for a scientific farmer such as Jerry a good future it is.

Molly Ann North Molly is one of our most loyal and active seniors. She rates highly in her class work, although she is quite modest about her accomplishments. Molly contributes her talents to many groups, but she will be especially remembered for her singing, both solo and with the chorus. Good luck in advanced education, Molly. Betty Jean Oakes B. J. is one of the future “angels of mercy” of the class of ’49. While in school she pursued the Academic Course and found time for many outside activities such as Beam Staff, Tru-Blu, Tri-Hi-Y, French Club, Band, and Orchestra. Anyone with such diversified interests is sure to succeed. Doris Osborn Just a glance at Doris will show that her greatest ambition is to enjoy life. Her happy, gleaming face is well-known in the various commercial rooms of the building. Her good-nalured ways make her an asset to the Commercial Club and Sub-Deb. A truer friend than Doris would be hard to find. Patsy Painter Patsy would lx? at a loss for something to do if this school had no outside activities. She will be sincerely missed on next year’s cheering squad, as well as at the meetings of Sub-Deb, Tri-Hi-Y, and many other clubs. No one ever tired of her company, but her attentions were centered on one out of school. William Preston Bill is the young man who poses for those vim, vigor, and vitality ads. He is a dependable scholar who thinks more of his studies than athletics, but he is an ardent fan of all sports. His great liking for math and science will probably be of value to him in his future career of engineering. Margaret Riggs By following the Academic curriculum Margie hopes to become a “white angel.” We all like Margie for her good nature, her personality, her so-called green eyes and brown hair. Tri-Hi-Y, and Tru-Blu membership proves her amicability. Her favorite subject is French. She is a member of the French Club and Echo Staff. Her hobbies are reading and swimming. Pat Rishell Shaffer The old saying, “Don’t judge a package by its size” might be applied to the petite girl whose picture you see here. Pat played the French horn and the baritone in the band for six years. We’re sure that the friendly smile which has been her trademark throughout school will make her a success as a secretary. Martin Roman Martin is a serious lad in regard to his studies and otherwise. Being a rather bashful boy, he seldom causes his teachers any trouble. His absence as tackle on next year’s football team will cause worry for the coach because he was outstanding during the past season. Martin was active in the Varsity Club.
