FRANK MARION GORE General December 26, 1939 Frank was an active participant in our school activities and usually had a re- mark ready for anything. His leisure time was composed of keeping his car running and, when behind the wheel, the citizens of M-burg running. The old standby, study hall, was listed as his favorite subject, and Frank was of- ten heard saying, If you do something, don't get caught. Although an Elvis addict, he still finds time to run around with Ned and Gerry. His future plans are undecided, but in any event, we wish him well.-JV and V Football, Basketball, JV Baseball, Clee Club. Class Assemblies, Q-B Club. DONALD LEE HEIGES Industrial Arts May 16, 1939 Hike, football quarterback and bas- ketball star, was voted our Most Ath- letic boy. He devoted much time and hard work to sports, the product of which was a fine athletic record. He and his cohorts, Bushey and Rife, are very much interested in automobiles and racing. Hike's favorite subjects are English, and hygiene. For direc- tions, just ask, Hey Heiges, where's the gym? For quite sometime he made daily trips to Bowmansdale, where he worked in a general store. His future plans are indefinite-perhaps college. - JV and V Football, Q-B Club, JV and V Basketball. ROBERT CARROLL HAMMAKER Commercial April l2, 1940 Bob, a great man-of-the-outdoors, espe- cially enjoys hunting and fishing. Spare moments are spent with Ralph and Don drag racing. Fried tomatoes and mashed potatoes seem to appeal to him. During the past summer, Bob exercised his biceps on a farm. This math student enjoys watching a good game of baseball or listening to Pat Boone. Although his future is uncer- tain, he will probably apply his cleri- cal training in some way. With his easy-going manner, he will go far in any field he chooses.-JV Football, Sportsman's Club. SANDRA LEE HERTZLER Secretarial October 3, 1940 Sandy, a petite member of our class, is usually adorned with one of those crazy pixie hair-do's. She is particu- larly fond of listening to her favorite recordings of Nat King Cole and danc- ing. We all dig those spicy jitterbug steps. She is the mistress of winning ways and for several years has been an attraction in the Hag-twirling corps. ln addition to her social activities, she has worked at Howard Johnson's as a waitress. Sandy's aim is to be a medi- cal secretary. We wish her the best of luck. -Band, FNA, Tri-Hi-Y, Class Assemblies, Torch, Artisan. GERALD MARLIN HARVEY Academic June 8, 1940 We all knew Harv as the chief execu- tive of our student council, grappling guard on the elite eleven, and sharp shot on the basketball fioor. Along with these positions, he was also a life- guard at the Holiday in the summer and a competent pool player in his spare time. Harv's neat appearance and general joviality kept him at the crest of his class. Although he liked and studied almost all of his subjects during these last four years, geometry was his favorite. Some college will find Harv an invaluable student next Sep- tember. -JV and V Basketball, JV and V Football, Q-B Club, Baseball, FTA, Glee Club, Class Assemblies. BARBARA ANN HESS Academic October 5, l940 Barb lent her talent to the clarinet section of our band. Una alumna buena de Espanol, she was Miss Sny- der's pride and joy. If you were to drop in on Barb at home, you might find her preparing her favored lobster tails, drawing, or listening to a base- ball game on television. She enjoys fanning the ball on the tennis' court and springing the diving board at the swimming pool. Barb plans to attend Messiah College and then to go on to Ohio to attain her goal as a nurse.- Art Service Club, Band, FNA.

S.ANDRA RUTH FISHER Secretarial November 10, 1940 Sandy's typing wizardry and interest in history paid off as she became a mem- ber of NHS in her junior year and often appeared on the honor roll. She enjoys being alone with a good book or cheering our football team on to victory. Being a Four Freshmen de- votee, Sandy is content when listening to their records with Pat, Kay, and Diane.

When not taking flips, he can be found with the gang, or else working at Kuhns Bros. Ford Agency. Rattling around in his cool green car, you can often hear Mousie say, Wanna drag? He always has a friendly smile and a happy Hi for everyone. Since being a bender in a pretzel factory might be a little too salty for Mousie, he plans to join Uncle Sam's Air Force. - Band. JOANNA MARY FLANAGAN Home Economics March 25, 1940 jo Ann comes to MHS from Cumber- land Valley. She is especially skilled in home economics, and those tasty pies are proof of this.

JEANNETTE ELIZABETH FROMM Secretarial March 8, 1940 Band was the favorite subject of this up-and-coming baton twirler. March- ing in the band made it easy for her to attend the football games in support ol her home team, the Wildcats. Pat, Carol and she liked to curl up beside a hi-fi with a hamburger and listen to the discs of Perry Como. She was usu- ally in room six typing something for herself or others. Several years from now she will look back on her school years and realize how much her com- mercial preparation helped her obtain a secretary's job.-Band, Art Service Club, Class Assemblies, Amateur As- semblies.

Although Nina didn't ordinarily relish school, she ripped it up in room three's P.O.D. classes. She kept the color-guard stepping high with the sword by her side. In the future Nina plans to put her art talent to a worthy use and save all Confederate money, for the South will rise again.' -Tri- Hi-Y, Art Service Club, Band, jr. Play, Showcase, Torch.

ALICE ELIZABETH HOLLINCER Academic April 4, 1940 Al, a rather reserved miss, spent most of her spare time in the library or lis- tening to records. Gee whiz, you never know which car you will see Kathy and her cruising around in! Naturally, because of her father's pro- fession, her favorite delicacy is steak. During the summer, when not deliver- ing meat to far away places, there was nothing she enjoyed more than diving into a pool of clear, cool HEO. Since she loves caring for and being with people, she is looking forward to the capping exercises at Polyclinic Hos- pital. - Art Service Club, FNA.

Keep 'em flying, Ron! -JV and V Football, Wrestling, Q-B Club. MILLICENT JUNE KOHLER Commercial June 13, 1940 Although she favored English, Millie was one of Miss Snyder's hard working girls.

When not attending football games, watching television, or embroidering, Millie was seen with her sidekick, Faye. Summer- time finds her keeping cool. Her willingness to go along with the gang and her unusual sense of humor have won her many friends and should be helpful to her in the future. She is slated for a secretarial position. - Tri- Hi-Y.
