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.

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

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

XQEESQX . li n: JANE LOUISE HAMMOND Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 41 g Dramatics Club 131 5 Oper- etta 1213 Band 1313 Leoninus 141, T. C. N. 11, 213 Home Room Secretary 121. Janie is our version of that old rhyme . . . Five foot two, eyes of blue. We've always heard that nice things come in small packages and this small Miss is a verification of that statement. Jane was born October 28, 1924, in New Holland and has been with us ever since first grade. Her eiiicient character- istics . . . neatness, tact, initiative, and responsibility . . . made it only fitting that she should participate in Commercial sub- jects. The easiest thing for Hammond to do is smile. Sho gives an appearance of shyness, but that's only until you break down her outer defenses. No honor list would be complete without Janie's name on it. She may not be the athletic type, nevertheless she gives her Whole-hearted support to the teams. Jane's own brand of sweet sincerity will take her a lang way in both business and social worlds. Here's hoping that short- hand of hers will transcribe Success. XELLA RUBY HILLARD Dramatics Club 1313 Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 413 Band 2, 313 Operetta 1213 Senior Play 141, Office Secre- tary 141, Class Secretary 141. This sweet little brunette hails from Greenbank and joined us in our Freshman year. She's small, but has a vivid person- ality, which has led her on to many successes. Not the least of these has been her appointment as Mr. Shue's secretary. She has proved herself capable and efficient in that field. She was born on November 5, 1924, at Greenbank, and her ambitions have carried her on since then. One ambition was to be in the Senior Play, and she filled the role of a sweet young girl with perfect naturalness. We've never seen Ruby really angry . . . she's just not that kind of a girl. She never lets a situation get her down, and never fails to find a solution. She likes music and has lent her soprano voice to the Glee Club during the past years. One of Ruby's favorite song hits was Jim. Hillard would like to be a secretary, and we know that her experiences and natural ability will carry her through. BARBARA ELAINE HOOBER Orchestra 11, 2, 313 Band 12, 3, 41g T. C. N. 11, 2, 3, 415 Business Manager of Town Clock News 141, Dramatics Club 1215 Patrol 11, 2, 3, 415 Lieutenant 131 5 Co-captain 141 g Basketball 12, 3, 41 g Operetta 121. This attractive blonde made her entrance into this world on August 11, 1924, in New Holland. She's never once stopped making that entrance appreciated. Her tall gracefulness and her tidy appearance are great assets to her natural charm. Babs has plenty of ideas and never hesitates to express them. More often than not they turn out to be good ones. She has proven that she has a Hair for business through her work as business manager of the Town Clock News, and who can disregard her methodical clashes of the cymbals in the band and orchestra. Babs is a smooth dancer and cuts an eye- catching figure on the dance floor. Barbara has taken the academic course in school. Success is just around the corner . . . all you have to do is make the turn, HBabs 77 Page Thirteen
