ERNEST W. FITZGERALD COMMERCIAL Tall ships, strange happenings, foreign lands and peoples- all of these heed the urgent call of the adventurous mind, the sensitive imagination. Ernie,' is just such a voyager traveling into a magic world, Ending friends and enjoyment, that lie between the bookends. ROBERT L. ERITZ PRACTICAL ARTS The cat, according to the old adage, must certainly have played havoc with Fritz's tongue. He is undoubtedly the most secretive individual we know, never saying more than a few words at a time. We have an idea, though, that Fritz is not so quiet among his cronies. Track, XI, Football, XII. JOSEPH P. GUETTER COMMERCIAL Here is our candidate for the distinction of tallest senior. Somewhat retiring in disposition, Joe, turns his industrious- ness toward practical ends. A mechanic by inclination, Joe just loves to tinker with motors, and as a hobby, he thoroughly understands the mechanics of chess. Hi-Y, XI, XII, Football, XII. FRANK J. HAGAN PRACTICAL ARTS Frank's happiest moments have been spent in bringing honor to C. H. S. through his wholehearted participation in baseball and basketball. His nonchalance and penetrating smile are all his own. Frank's sense of sportsmanship will certainly be an asset in his future contacts. Baseball, X, XI, XII, Basketball, X, XI, XII, Chef Club, XII, Varsity Club, XII. 22 ROBERT J. HAGERTY ACADEMIC Here is a future rival of Lawrence Tibbett! We say that with absolute conviction. But judging from his manliness, his innate thoughtfulness, and his mature appreciations, we main- tain that achievement in almost any field will be his. Glee Club, X, A Cappella Choir, X, XI, XII, Operetta, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, Class Play, XI, XII, Boys' Chorus, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XI, Business Manager, XII. HANORA V. HANLY COMMERCIAL A little gay chatter, a sense of humor, and a few droll ex- pressions-here, you have Nonie, a conversationalist supreme. Her presence is welcome at all socials, and her hospitable man- ner and dependability account for her attractive personality. Basketball, XI, Hockey, XI, XII, Cinema Club, XII, Cal- laumx Staff, XII, Probies' Club, XII. MARIE I. HANLY ACADEMIC A picturesque bit of old Erin is Marie, smiling eyes, a burst of laughter, and a tenacious desire to defend her convictions in the face of opposition. These argumentative abilities have pre- vailed in many a Probs battle of wits. Best of luck to our colleen! Glee Club, X, Hockey, Manager, XII, Probies' Club, XII. ELIZABETH J. HARNEST COMMERCIAL Chubby-cheeked Betty is constantly giggling, and we do mean giggling. The smiles just wreathe her face, ripples com- ing to the surface from a joyous heart. Everything arnuses her, perhaps that's why we like her so. She makes even the most preplexing problem seem trivial and unimportant. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, XI, XII.

RALPH L. DIEHL ACADEMIC Happy am I, from care am I free. This is typical of Ike -the original Ike, never worrying or studying too hard but always ready to elicit a laugh. But don't ever mention feminine acquaintances, or that crimson color is certain to creep over his ace. HERBERT A. DRUEDING PRACTICAL ARTS Such geniality as is found in Hick is indeed rare, as is his versatility. No wonder he has been cast in both of our class productions. Then, too, he has the knack of combining athletic prowess with witticism. Basketball, X, Chef Club, X, Football, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Baseball, XI, A. A. Council, XI, XII, Class Play, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XI, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. ELSIE H. DUKES COMMERCIAL Are you in need of a true friend? If so, Elsie is that person, for her deep understanding gaze and hesitant smile are a balm that soothes the most troubled brow. Not to be overlooked, however, are her achievements as a hockeyist and an able bas- ketball manager. Glee Club, X, Hockey, XI, XII, Basketball Manager, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Secretary to Teacher, XII. JOHN B. DUPONT COMMERCIAL Focus your optics upon Duke, who seldom fails to make a dramatic appearance. But that is the way John does things. Besides, who would ever think that such an innocent-looking person could cause so much uproar? No matter, John, we like you just as you are. Baseball, X, Chef Club, X, Band, X, XI, Class Play, XI, ELMER W. EDGE COMMERCIAL Beez is a saunterer. He strolls about school with his wor- ries, if present, subdued. Beez, though, always seems to meander where the fun is brewing, and he never fails to add his bit. Here's to success, Elmer! JAMES F. ELLIOTT PRACTICAL ARTS Peanut, needless to say, is of diminutive stature. Having directed the affairs of the football squad as he did, he has be- come a manager of some renown. Peanut, is another musician of the class, and a very good one at that. Chef Club, X, Band, X, XI, XII, Football, Manager, X, XI, XII, Orchestra, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XI, XII. JOHN P. ELLIS ACADEMIC May we present-but, oh, how stupid we are! Of course, you know 'IBig John or Daddy John, as we affectionately call him. We do not suppose that there is anyone who has not seen his lumberous bulk on the football field, nor failed to appreciate his admirable personality. Student Council, X, Hi-Y, X, XI, Football, X, XI, XII, Track, X, XI, XII, Varsity Club, XII. RAYMOND FISHER ACADEMIC Hello, there! This is amateur station, F., calling sta- tion, XXYZ.U Who can this be? , No one but our electrically- minded classmate, Kay. Few of us suspected that this was his liking, but then you never can tell. Best of luck, Kay ! Football, XI, XII, Track, XI, XII, Hi-Y, XII, Varsity Club, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XII. 21 1 l

A. JAY HARNEST ACADEMIC jay seems never to have a care in the world, except a few minutes before his notes are due. Despite his easy manner, jay's sunny temperament has won him a wide circle of friends. Although his plans are unknown to us, we are confident of his future achievement. Class Play, XI. MARY D. HARPER COMMERCIAL Individualism personified is Mary-one moment naive, the next, worldly-wise. Petite and dainty, she reminds one of a lively, but mischievous little elf g for even her closest friends have difficulty in predicting her next action. This little wisp of personality is, indeed, inimitable. Glee Club, X, Operetta, X, XI, XII, A Cappella Choir, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII, Class Play, XII, THE COLSEN- IAN staff, X11. J. WILLARD HAZELL PRACTICAL ARTS And now we come to Hank. This lad bears the earmarks of a truly great personality-honesty, perseverance, courage, modesty, and humility. We are glad, indeed, to claim him as a member of '39, Football, XI. MARGARET J. HEIMACH ACADEMIC Whether in the classroom or on the basketball floor, it is hard to suppress Peg's fun-loving nature. And yet, in her more serious moments she is characterized by a maturity of thought and an impartiality of judgment that cannot escape even the most casual observer. Glee Club, X, ODeretta. X: Basketball. X. XI. XII: Student CONSTANCE E. HERSHEY ACADEMIC Connie is a true exemplification of school spirit. Her ath- letic progress, scholastic standing, and numerous activities attest to this statement. Whatever she chooses for her life's work, we may rest assured that Connie will be capable of achieving success. Glee Club, X, Colbzzmr, X, XI, Editor-in-Chief, XII, Hockey, X, XI, Captain, XII, Orchestra, X, XI, XII, Student Council, XI, President, XII, THE COLSENIAN Staff, XI, XII. ALBERT J. HILLIER COMMERCIAL The courage of the modern has A. J. With an inclination for the unusual, he literally breaks out in flashy clothes and white shoes in the middle of winter. Then, too, he has a dis- tinctive voice and a knack for new dance steps. Band, X, XI, XII, Operetta, XI, XII, Boys' Chorus, XII. WILLIAM H. HOBBS ACADEMIC The sky and the stage are the limits of Bill's aspirations. For him, conquering the heavens holds a never-ending fascina- tion. Not to be outdone, however, is the glamour of the theater. Whichever one you may choose, Bill, happy landing! Science Club, X, XI, XII, Airplane Club, XI, Track, XI, Class Play, XI, XII. ANN H. HOWARD COMMERCIAL Ann is a general favorite, not only because of her imper- turbable nature, but because of her culinary skill as well. To produce such delicacies as Ann's is truly an art. We like her, too, because she appreciates the line things of life. Basketball, XI, XII, Bloomsburg Club, XII. Council, X, XI, i 25
