ROBERT SWEIGART Picture a young man with a quiet, comical and joking nature, extremely fond of swing records and hitch-hiking, and you will know Bob to a He has contributed a large part to the success of our dances by his skilful operation of the recording machines. In future years this erstwhile radio announcer will probably have charge of the Nine- twenty Club. MARGARET TRASK Intellectual, keen, and witty, Margaret is a girl of many talents, the outstanding ones being sketching, elocution, and journalistic composition. If she doesn't iput the name of 'Frata on the maps of the world of art an literature, we shall be greatly mistaken. She cannot, because she will not, fail. The best of luck to you, Margaret. TITUS TRUPE A young manrwith a Buick, a pleasing personality, and a rare mathematical mind should by all means have a special friend among the opposite sex, but, as far as we know, his heartstrings are as ree and unattached as the air. He likes hot dogs and still believes in Santa Claus. He is bound fwMJ 6 .f ALEXANDER UNGER This little man with the deep voice came to us from way over in Czechoslovakia, first to Akron and this year to Ephrata. Wavy hair, bright blue eyes, and an infallible sense of fair play characterize our Alex to the nth degree. His intelligence and diligence will be amply rewarded when he realizes his lifelong ambition. Good luck, Alex, to succeed in whichever field o him. l26l WHL f If ef- 5 fy , V . '

1 j , AM O' W W I S J' lx f, MSW 5 SALLIE STOBER This generous, cheerful farmerette came to us in ninth grade, adding a bit of sunshine and merriment to our increasing numbers. With her knowledge of farm life in general, she can put most of us to shame. Our sincere wishes are that Sallie will be as successful in future years as in her years with us. ELMER STRAUSE ROBERT STRICKLER Bob came to us from Hopeland in our Freshman year. He appears to be a self-styledbachelor, but we have a sus- picion that he has a passion unknown to any of us. He is usually seen driving the family car to or from Hopeland, and when he drives, no grass grows under him. The best of luck to you, Bob. ' 1 ,, 4 ' ls 1' , This lad from Shillingron came to Ephrata in the fall of '39. His favorite pastime in school is playing pranks on his poor, unsuspecting teachers. Among his various haunts, these three are outstanding-the bowling alleys, Fake's, apd Reading. In the last-named place, he is invariably ac- companied by his bosom companions, Bob Sweigart and Bill Rhoades. Good luck, Elmer. was A , .ff-y, .7 ., 4 iw EUGENE SWEIGART One of the chronic sleepers of the class, Geney is nevertheless well known and liked by those who can manage to catch him in a waking moment. Ready to engage in a joke or prank, and to carry it out to the Hnale-that's Geney. He is noted for his immaculately combed hair, X and his ever-ruddy complexion.

STANLEY VON NIEDA There is never a dull moment when Whitey is around, for his fun-loving, easy-going nature are an inexhaustible source of amusement to his friends and-we fear-per- plexity and exasperation for his teachers. Even though Whitey will probably not be in any particular hurry to get there, we are sure that he will come out on top of the pile. ,.1, ' , . 1 .n 'LC' uffyif, All 'fu' SAMUEL WEAVER One of the dark-haired Romeos of our class, Sammy presumably demonstrates his ardent technique in the thriving metropolis of Florin, usually accompanied by his pal, Mel. The United States Air Corps will never know the meaning of the word defeat, as long as Ace Weaver is in there to battle the attackers. Happy landing, Ace. V DONALD WITWER FRANKLIN WILLIAMS Throughout our high school years, Franklin has been a constant maker of mischief, center of fun, and creator of merriment. We hope his sense of gravity will stand him in as good stead in the air as it has done on the ground in his Ford when, side by side with Sammy, he protects the dear old U. S. A. from its arch enemies. ii. .X I Reading has become a second home to this curly-headed Senior, whose frank, jovial nature must have popularized him among the Berks Countians as much as among his home-town pals. His ambition is to be ambitious, and we sincerely hope this worth-while aim will be reached in the dim and distant future. ' l27l
