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.

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

-I L MJ JAMES HERBERT EVANS, JR. Band 11, 2, 3, 45 5 Orchestra 11, 2, 3, 455 Glee Club 1355 Soccer 13, 45 5 Track 12, 3, 455 T. C. N. 12, 3, 455 Senior Play 145 5 Basketball 11, 2, 3, 45. 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

45:3 ELEANORE HELENE KNECHT Band 11, 2, 3, 415 Orchestra 11, 2, 3, 415 Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 415 T. C. N. 11, 2, 3, 419 Quill and Scroll 13, 415 Senior Play 1415 Cheerleading 11, 2, 3, 41 5 Le- oninus 141 5 Operetta 121 g Dramatics Club 131 5 Pa- trol 111. Fight, New Holland, Fight! That has been Eleanore's favorite slogan during the four years that she has been on the Maroon and Gray Cheerleading Squad. Eleanore likes to give vent to her feelings in creative writ- gfig, and many of her features have appeared in the Town Clock ews. Her musical talents take form in the melodies issuing from her saxophone, and her alto voice. Eleanore first saw the light of day on April 8, 1924, in Columbia, Pa., and made her educational debut along with the rest of the original members of our class. Among Eleanore's chief delights are milk shakes and danc- ing . . . not to mention Chemistry and French. These latter two fall in with her plan to become a teacher in future life. Just as you've cheered our teams on to success, Eleanor, we now cheer you in your efforts. ROBERT LEO LOETSCHER Glee Club 1415 Baseball 11, 2, 415 Basketball 12, 3, 415 Track 13, 415 Soccer 12, 3, 415 Senior Play 141. This young fellow, with the twinkling brown eyes, certain- ly added a personality tonic to our class when he first arrived from Wisconsin, four years ago. He lost no time in finding a place in our midst, and has stayed there ever since. Bob is the baby of the class, as far as age is concerned, since he was born on June 19, 1925, in Wisconsin. However, his straight thinking has shown him to be more than juvenile in manner and thought. Loetscher has an answer to every question, serious or oth- erwise and whenever a joke's in the oifing, he's around. Bob has added his Wisconsin style of basketball playing to our teams during these past years, and a welcome addition it was, too, es- pecially those unbelievable side shots. Lech is rather shy and quick to blush especially where members of the opposite sex are concerned. But he can always take a joke as well as give it. Bob hasn't quite decided what life will hold in store for him, but whatever it is, we know it will be worth his while. PEARL LOUISE LUDWIG Basketball 13, 415 Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 415 Senior Play 1415 Leoninus 1415 Staff Artist T. C. N. 12, 3, 415 Operetta 1215 Dramatics Club 121. The artistic member of our class . . . that's Louise. Her works of art, noted for their originality, have been regular fea- tures of the Town Clock News these past several years. Louise's favorite war cry during this past year has been- Buy your candy from the Seniors, and an efficient candy salesman she has been. Born May 4, 1924, Louise has spent all of her life on a farm near New Holland. Consequently, she didn't join us until the eighth grade. Too bad we hadn't her soprano giggles and jolly laughter with us during the other seven years. We didn't know what we were missing. Despite-her penchant for the humorous side of life, Louise has found time to keep up the class's standards by adding her name to the honor rolls. Louise's greatest dream will be realiz- ed when she first steps into a classroom as af teacher instead of a student. We know that her originality and initiative will make her a grand pedagogue.
