ACTIVITIES!-AI'tiSt of El Dorado 141, Senior Play 141g Vice-President Girl Reserves 141g Orchestra 1413 Glee Club 11-2-3-41. A gay and fun loving nature is Ocky's unique characteristic. It is she who furnishes a wisecrack for every laugh, giggle, or chuckle that comes from a group of her friends. Al- though she hasn't been with us since we were Freshies, she has helped make our class jolly during the Junior and Senior years. Ocky can be very politefand dignified at times. Anytime during a Saturday afternoon you may hear her smiling Thank you behind one of the counters at Penney's. As Art Editor of the E1 Dorado, Ocky has made her ideas and visions assume tangible form. Indeed, she deserves this distinction, for she has certainly carried out her work per- fectly.

John is the one boy in the class who can get good marks with little study. That, of course, does not imply that he doesn't study, but he certainly gets his lessons easily. As to his big heart, well, he's glad to help anyone with a question, that is, if he has it himself. Just watch that uncontrollable smile sometime if you mention his Ford, or ask him how he likes to help mount snaps for the El Dorado. John is greatly interested in Physics books and Popular Science magazines, ham sand- wiches and girls. Of course, you will deduce from the first of these, that he expects to become a mechanic. RUTH DENLINGER Its the skill she uses, that makes everyone love her, Think her divine, and do anything for her.

She takes an active part in most school activities and this year has reached her goal-Editor of the El Dorado. Well, she has earned this honor, for seldom has Ruth come to classes without having her lessons prepared. Solid Geometry problems? Rudy just craves them. However, don't think she is always serious and in deep thought, for in back of it all is a rather mischievous nature. Ruth would like to be a teacher some day, and from the experience she has already had it teaching, we feel assured that fame awaits er. Seventeen

x . EL DORADO'v1.932 r .f' -. l l l s.,l . History of Class of '32 All aboard! This was heard by a large group of boys and girls, August, 1928. They went up the gang plank to enter the large ship, HE. L. H. S., the ship on which We were to tour for knowledge. Although we were rather shy upon entering, after a few weeks we became very Well acquainted with our classmates and upperclassmen. How nobly we endured that terrible word Freshie ! About the fourth week the Sopho- mores had quite a good time initiating us. Being a brave group we decided to be good sports, hoping that the following year we would have the same privilege. Soon the first year of our Wonderful trip was over and we returned to our homes for a few months vacation. August, 1930 came at last. We boarded our ship as Sophomores. After greeting our old friends we found that Clarence Groff, Kathryn Warfel, Christian Landis, George Feister, Ethel Brubaker, Mary Rohrer, and Myron Landis could not continue the tour with us. A few weeks after initiating the Freshmen we held a Doggie Roast at Denlinger's Quarry. Since this was a big event of our tour we wanted to make it a success and we accomplished it with the cooperation of the class. Later in the year we secured the Dramatic Club of Lincoln University to entertain in our high school auditorium. The days passed by quickly and we were again to enjoy a vacation. The third year of our tour began August, 1931. Twenty-six of us embarked. Two studious classmates, Mary and Alma Leaman, could not continue with the group, however, Reba Ranck, Olive Chew, and James Leaman joined us. In the latter part of the year we held a Doggie Roast in Lehr's meadow. In order to secure funds for the senior class banquet, we engaged the Hoffmeir Red Rose Minstrels, who gave a program in the High School Auditorium. Near the end of the term the Junior-Senior Banquet was given at Bellevue Hotel, Gap. A few months passed by and we learned that one of our group, Richard B. Lentz, could not remain with us. He is now furthering his education in Oklahoma. Gradually the days wore on and the third year came to an end. Ah! We began the last lap on the ship as Seniors. After being on board a few weeks we learned that Robert Campbell, one of our faithful members, could not continue with us. As he bade us farewell, we wished him the best of luck in whatever vocation he decided to enter. As Seniors, despite our added duties, we held a Doggie Roast at the Willows . With cooperation of the class we published the El Dorado, and with Miss Livingood's aid we presented the play Esmeralda on February Twenty-seventh. After reviewing the four years of our happy life on the ship, it is with heavy hearts we realize we must leave our Alma Mater, who has given us opportunities to meet whatever the future presents. Bon voyage to all! . Sixteen

Abner is the George Washington of our class, leading us in peace as well as in war. Yes, he certainly is a capable leader, for he has so many presidents to his name we don't even consider one or two any more. Now we don't want you to get the idea from this that he always plays the part of a dignitary. It's his delight to relieve the strain of leadership by becoming one of the multitude and being the jolliest of the bunch for a while. Harry is so used to getting shocks from electrical apparatus in the laboratory that he expects to use this information in his future work as an electrician. SAMUEL HARNISH MOTTO: Never trouble trouble till . trouble troubles you. ACTIVITIES:-Basketball 13-415 Baseball 13- 415 Orchestra 13-415 Senior Play 1415 Glee Club 11-2-3-415 Assistant Music Editor of the El Dorado 141. Sam is our tall, light-hearted Romeo who gets a big kick out of pulling wise cracks. Invariably you'll hear the group in which he is present roaring with laughter. He is interested in sports as you can readily see by his record in athletics. You'll have a better idea of his alertness if you've watched him locate the net during close basketball games. Of course he is interested in all his studies, to say nothing of New Holland girls. Sam is interested in music, for besides possessing a iine baritone voice, he is an able trombone player 1rod swallower1. He is considering music as his life work. MARY HELLER Quiet and yet so gay, Sweetly sincere in every way. 1 ACTIVITIES :-Glee Club 11-2-3-415 Student Council 12-41. Mary, as most of us know her, is rather reserved and bashful. This, of course, is no reason to think she is afraid of the world. Arlene, who is really acquainted with her, can tell you how natural she is when with some- one whom she really knows. Mary, erstwhile Polly, is one of the in- telligent members of our class. She will assure you that Chemistry is her favorite study, for she just dotes on mixing acids and bases, and getting as a result, sopper culphatef' Mary is interested in something else besides lessons. For some reason she has a particular interest in the state of Maryland. Perhaps it is because she received a card from there recently. We are sure that Mary will be successful in her chosen career, private secretary.
