JEAN OCKENHOUSE Introducing to you Jean Ockenhouse. Jean is better known to all her friends as Ocky . In school, Ocky is found speaking her piece with her best pals Joan Friend and Mary Jane Frederick. At night, during her leisure time, she can usually be seen doing some fancy skating at Graver's Skating Rink. After school, Ocky is found strolling down First Street with a bundle of books in her arms, and concentrating on the things she is supposed to get from the store. Having the Commercial Course, she plans to become a secretary. We all know Ocky will succeed as long as she keeps hitting those typewriter keys. Refreshment Sale: 11,' Girlf' Chorur 10, 11. CHARLES PERSON And here we have Chally , a very popular fellow. He is usually found with his pals Boyer, Sander, and Williams. Al- though he has many extra curricular activities, he manages to find time to study. Some days you may find him bustling into Mr. Diehl's room just in time for opening exercises. His excuse is usually that a long and slow freight train held him up. The long walk from his home in Weissport does not seem to tire this ener- getic lad, for he is always busy keeping the 11-1 section in stitches with his antics.

DALE REHRIG Presenting one of the rural boys of our class. If you don't know Dale you might think that he is quiet, but, brother, wait until you get to know him. Dale likes to go hunting and fishing and when the season opens, you can find his seat in Mr. Gernerd's room vacant. Dale isn't very interested in extra-curricular activities, but he does spend most of his spare time on his studies. Incidentally. Dale claims his least interest is girls, but we wonder. Dale has no plans for the immediate future but since his home in Ashfield is so near to the fields and streams we predict he will be another Paul Bunyan. Safety Patrol 10,' Nature Club 9.

He is also an outdoor type of man because trapping and fishing are his first loves while hunting claims a few of his school days. Ziggy's hobby is going to the movies by himself?????
