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.

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

4 eszll lrr- S2555 ' CLARA HAZEL MARTIN Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 473 Dramatics Club 131: Sen- ior Play 14Jg Operetta 121. From Goodville this active young lady came to join our ranks in our first year in high school. Hazel was a May baby born on May 27, 1924. Hazel has always been popular with the boys as well as the girls. At noon, if you happened to hear someone start in giggling and finally increase to a high, shrill laugh, you could always turn to the rear of the room 20 and see Hazel and Louise thoroughly enjoying a choice morsel of gossip. Uppermost in her mind is Al, that certain young gentleman, who sometimes lends her his snazzy cream car in order that she may get to school on time. As Beatrice, the socially-minded sister of Eddy in AL most Eighteen, Hazel gave the best of her talent to the pro- duction. We'll all miss her jolly personality after graduation, but we all know Hazel will succeed in anything. Good luck, kid! LEROY SAUDER MARTIN Business Staff, Year Book 14J. Leroy was born April 11, 1924, in Blue Ball. His merry laugh has often helped us through our worries. Traveling seems to be his hobby and he often comes back with stories about his trips, some probably taken in the Ford which he drives to school each morning. With him come the other students of Blue Ball, who are now increasing their education in New Hol- land. Although of frail build, Leroy has a way of making his presence known, and he is a friend to everyone. Leroy is rather shy, and we often suspect that he may be slightly inclined to- ward the fairer sex. Of course we couldn't be sure. His ambitions he keeps to himself, but whatever he de- cides to do we know he will succeed. The Class of '42 wishes you lots of luck, Leroy. JAY GLENN OBERHOLZER Glee Club 11, 3, 45g Band 12, 3, 455 Dramatics Club 145. Jay was born on August 27, 1924, and came to our class in his Freshman year from the faithful old town of Blue Ball. He brought with him a pal, Leroy Martin, and this combination might easily be called a comparison of types. Yes, Jay holds the heavyweight title in this year's class, tilting the beam at a beautiful figure. Sometime between his junior and senior year. Jay got hold of a '30 Chevy and this is his mode of transportation. The Chevy didn't do so good during some of those cold weeks. Jay is always willing to help, and he showed his ability as candy salesman this year at dinner-time and between the halves at basketball games. Maybe your ability as a salesman will help you later in life, Jay, but no matter what you attempt here's wishing you luck. ,Ll Page Fifteen Mmm
