JOYCE KAY HOFFMASTER Secretarial March 15, 1940 Joyce, the most congenial girl in the Senior class, is liked by everyone, even teachers. Her friendly smile and geni- ality have won her the friendship of all her classmates and election to sev- eral class offices. During football games, Joyce can be found enthusiastically cheering the Wildcats to victory, and sporting the uniform of a high-step- ping flag-twirler. Sometimes Pat and Sandy will join l1er in munching on french fries. Joyce plans to become a secretary in the future, and we know she will do her best. -Tri-Hi-Y, Band, Torch, Artisan. SARA JOANN KEEFER Commercial january 19, 1940 Sara, a high-stepping color-guard, was voted the most industrious girl of our class. With her friendly smile, and pleasing disposition, she is most al- ways willing to lend a helping hand. An ardent fan of football, she also loves dancing and thinks Bill Haley and his Comets are out of this world! Excelling in bookkeeping, Sara had a summer job as a file clerk and typist at the Blue Shield. She is frequently seen with Jeannette'and Lu Rilla. Eventually she'll be in the clouds of a happy bride.-Clee Club, Band, JV and V Basketball, Artisan. 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. RICHARD EUGENE KLINEDINST Academic January 12. 1941 Rick is the little guy who can really hold his own when it comes to musical talent. VVe all recognize him as the nimble-fingered clarinetist .who just may succeed Benny Goodman. Rick enjoys sharing his talent with the local dance bands. He still finds time to re- lax and enjoy some hunting or fishing, Farming may seem remote from music, but many summer days were spent working with the good earth. Rick plans to major in music at Lebanon Valley. As far as he is concerned, Let there be music. -Band, County Band, District Band, State Band, Dance Band, .Assembly Band, Glee Club, County Chorus, Choraliers, Artisan, Class Assemblies.

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. She was always ready tc- lend a helping hand to anyone. Her pocket dictionary surely came in handy dur- ing those shorthand classes. 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.

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 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.

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.

FRED RICHARD KRALY Commercial November 9, 1939 Dick was one of the bashful but lively males of our class. 1'Vhether he was absorbing knowledge in his favorite class, history, or picking some chicken's bones dry, you can bet that he was ac- companied by Ted and Roy.

BARBARA KAY LANCASTER Commercial October 18, 1940 Kay, perky and pretty, was a friend to all. Voted the neatest girl in the class, she certainly was deserving of the hon- or. Being a faithful rooter for the M-burg eleven is Kay's favorite pas- titne, and her effervescent giggling has helped her win and hold the friend- ship of Diane and Pat.

CAROL ANN LYTLE Secretarial November 15, 1940 Attractive and diminutive Carol proud- ly swung the maroon and steel as a high stepping flag twirler. She was usually seen with Pat and Jeannette and could be easily recognized by her personalized hair style. Her favorite saying, 1sn't that dear? might be ap- plied to her own art work. Homeroom and passing of classes were her favor- ite subjects, but if the truth were known, she dehnitely has an outstand- ing eye for typographical and steno- graphical errors. Her amicable ways will be an asset as she pursues a sec- retary's responsibilities in the years to come. - Band, Art Service Club.
