RUTH ELLEN DTTZLER Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 41 5 Orchestra 11, 2, 31 3 Leoninus 141, Patrol Lieutenant 131g Patrol Captain 141, T. C. N. 11, 2, 315 Editor T. C. N. 141g Girls' Basketball Manager 12, 3, 41, Quill and Scroll 13, 413 Dramatics Club 12, 315 Operetta 121. May we present the oldest member of our class, born April 10, 1923. It is none other than Ruth Ditzler, better known as Ditz. Ruth was born in Meyersdale, Pa., and acquired school- ing in Lancaster and Bangor, but decided to spend her last eight years of school life with us. Newspaper work was just one of Ruth's specialties, as she was editor-in-chief of the Town Clock News. Ruth has also served as Captain of the Patrol in her senior year, as well as lieutenant in her junior year. Although not active in sports, Ruth was a capable manager of the girls' basketball team. Did you ever see Ruth dash up to one of her girl friends waving a letter? Of course, you have. That signifies she has received a letter from England, or another of her many friends. To be a technician or nurse is Ruth's ambition, so . Ditz will continue her studies amid laboratories and white uniforms. MARIAN ALICE DUNN Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 41, Leoninus 141, Patrol 11, 415 Dramatics Club 121, Senior Play 141. Whenever there was laughter to be heard, we could readily guess that Marian was contributing her share. Her laughing ability can easily be understood with as pleasant a personality as Marian has acquired since her birth on June 24, 1924, and during her twelve years in the New Holland Schools. Commercial subjects have claimed her as a student. Be- ing a diligent worker she was chosen as secretary of the maga- zine contest. Her skill at acting was displayed during the Senior play in which she 1Mrs. Barry1 added a bit of humor by the motherly aifection she showed to her son, Eddie. Marian has willingly given of her musical talent to the soprano section of the Glee Club as well as loaning a helping hand to clean up our home room or other such tasks which no one else wanted to do. These little deeds and acts of kindness have made her a very popular girl among us. EARL MAST EABY Vice President Home Room 1113 Secretary of Class 1313 Patrol 13, 415 Home Room President 141. Who Will ever forget Earl's broad smile? It certainly will be remembered by everyone along with his stick-to-it-iveness in solid geometry. Joining us in our freshman year, Earl came from the big town of East Earl, his birthplace on October 11, 1924. He at- tended a little red schoolhouse for his early education. This didn't prevent Eaby from attaining his goal of the honor group. Whenever there was a lull in the general knowledge of a history class in the matter of dates, Earl would come forth with the exact date of the historical event. 1Those dates are chron- ologically speaking, as far as he's concerned. We wonder?1 Always ready to lend a helping hand, was Eaby's motto. This latter caused him difficulty in getting home after school, but this didn't stop Earl from doing his share as a member of the advertisement committee for the Senior Play. Page Eleven

Speed is one of the shortest boys of the class, but that certainly doesn't hinder his activities. Bob began his education in Fetterville, his home town, where he was born on February 17, 1924, and joined our class in the freshman year. Baseball seems to be Bob's' first choice of a sport as he has displayed on the baseball diamond and also in his interesting discussions on his favorite hero or game. Capturing a close sec- ond is that certain dark-haired freshman who manages to occupy the front seat in the carload of kids Speed brings to school every morning. Bob has set his heart on joining the Marines, but he's a little doubtful of his weight. He says he has been eating plenty of Wheaties and thinks he is ready to do his part for Uncle Sam. When Bob could not understand a problem he was sure to ask for an explanation and could not be satisfied until he knew the correct answer. With that perseverance you are sure to succeed, Bob, so good luck to you. RAYMOND CHARLES BENSINGER Basketball 11, 3, 435 Soccer 13, 435 Track 13, 433 Glee Club 1435 Senior Play 1435 Basketball Manager 1235 Baseball Manager 12, 33. This lanky fellow just missed being an April Fool baby by two days being born on April 3, 1925. Ray acquired all his knowledge in the New Holland Schools. Chet was the sole male member of the Commercial class. and of course was around the girls most of his time, but did they bother him? No, his only interest was his studies, as proven by his name appearing regularly on the second honor group. Mr. Meritt, the well-known professor, was enacted with Chet's greatest ability in the Senior Play. Those spectacles surely aided in giving him that professorial look. 1Even though they did bring a laugh!3 Ray is already a business man 1his chief ambition3 shown by his regular Saturday work in the American Store. He will never be forgotten as our goalie for the soccer team. Chet also displayed his athletic ability in track and basketball. ETHEL MARTHA BRUBAKER Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 433 T. C. N. 13, 43g Quill and Scroll 143g Basketball 12, 3, 435 Dramatics Club 123, Leoninus 143g Operetta 123. This hard-working girl came to us in our freshman year and has proved herself to be a worthwhile addition to our class. With her gliding steps, her unusual height and her slim waist- line, it is only natural that Ethel should participate in basket- ball. As a member of the Girls' Varsity, she has distinguished herself with her many additions to the score. Ethel is always a first honor student, being very sincere and steady. At noon she sells candy. She is a hard-Worker and deserves all she works for. Among her extra-curricular activities has been the Town Clock News editorial staff, and membership in the Quill and Scroll Society. She has beautiful natural wavy hair and adorable dimples. Born on March 12, 1925 at Blue Ball, she has proven her- self to be one of the quietest members of our class. Since all good nurses are quiet, we know Ethel has chosen the profes- sion most suited to her. Page Ten -

Watch the birdie! Yes, that's Jim in back of the never- failing camera either taking pictures for the Town Clock News or the Year Book. Oh, there goes a streak of lightning! Oh, my mistake! lt is just Herbie winning more track honors through his running. The entire twelve years of J im's education have found him in New Holland, the place of his birth on February 11, 1925, where he has displayed his knowledge by placing his name on the honor rolls. Uncle George 1Jim's characterization in the Senior Play5 will always be remembered by the sickening cigar! Jim had quite a time lighting it. If Jim is ever asked what his favorite gem is We're sure the reply would be Ruby, g All kidding aside, Herbie, we really believe you have what it takes to succeed. ROBERT WILLIAM GILFILLAN Basketball 11, 2, 3, 455 Glee Club 13, 455 Soccer 13, 455 Class President 1455 Leoninus 1455 Senior Play 1455 Operetta 1255 Track 12, 355 Band 11, 2, 3, 45 5 Orchestra 11, 2, 355 Home Room Treasurer 115. Mick is the boy with naturally wavy hair . . . and plenty of it. But don't get us wrong-he's not just the intellectual type. True, he does get a big kick out of geometry, chemistry, and other such scientific subjects, but he also has a well devel- oped brand of humor, which is all his own. Mick's whole plan of life centers around his future am- bition concerning architecture and engineering. However, he has numerous sidelines, including sports 1all types and kinds5 and dramatics 1remember the Senior Play!5. We can hardly wait to see Mick as a father-judging from his authentic portrayal of Mr, Barry, it should really be something! Gilly has proven his executive capabilities during his term as Senior Class President. Born July 8, 1924, in New Holland, Mick is another of our original class members. Serious one minute . . . joking the next . . . that's Mick, LEO RICHARD GRANT T. C. N. 11, 2, 3, 455 Associate Editor 1455 Glee Club 13, 45 5 Quill and Scroll 13, 45 5 Basketball 12, 35 5 Senior Play 1455 Leoninus 1455 Class Vice President 1155 Class Treasurer 1355 Home Room Officer 11, 2, 35 5 Debate Team 13, 45 5 Forensics Team 13, 45. Leo, the proverbial master-mind of our history class, was born February 10, 1925, in New Holland. We hate to think what school would have been like without him, for when we got stuck on a vital question Leo was always kept as a last resort to clear up the situation. An excellent writer, Leo has proven his journalistic talents in the many phases of newspaper work, being associate editor of the Town Clock News in his senior year, as Well as president of the Quill and Scroll. This first honor student's favorite pastime is reading, see- ing good movies and basketball games. Even though he .IS not active in sports, he gave his help in cheering the boys to victory. Comment allez-vous, aujourd'hui? Yes, that's Leo, the lone boy, studying French. Leo is looking forward to college and we know success will be his. Page Twelve
