One of the Jackson Street gang, she is thoroughly versed 1as many from that section of town are1 in Commercial work. Betty was born at Hinkletown, June 24, 1924. Last summer Betty made a big step toward her first million when she tested silk for our parachute troops at the local silk mill. Proud as a peacock of her brother, and rightly so. Most of us hear very quickly how many chevrons he has lately received from Uncle Sam's cavalry. Betty likes to joke, but no one takes her very seriously. She played the part of a fussy society matron in our Senior Play, and for her characterization came many laughs and congratu- lations. Between times, while not working on N. Y. A., study- ing or tooting her melophone, Betty is usually found pondering on what to make for supper. Speed and accuracy to those fingers, Stief . . . you'll make a swell secretary.

Want to know anything about shorthand? Just ask Kath- ryn, for she's a Whiz at that stuH'. Yes, you've guessed it, she wants to be a secretary. And have you seen those swell field goals on the basketball fioor? Well, it's none other than Kathryn, our star varsity forward. Kate was given a cheery disposition when she was born September 14, 1924, in New Holland, and this is one of the qualities that makes Kathryn so efficient in her school cur- riculum. Her favorite motto might be never let it be said that it can't be done because this first honor student is not one to start a job and not finish it. Her typing has been appreciated very much by the T. C. N. staff, because without her, many an edition would never have been out on time. Whenever there is a good time to be had, you're almost always sure to find Kathryn sharing in the fun, and accompanied by a very characteristic giggle by which all of us know her. That's Kathryn.

Better known as Mike this always smiling brunette lad was born October 25, 1924, in good old New Holland. Although New Holland High School is now Mike's' Alma Mater, Upper Leacock claimed him as a student during his early high school days. We're certainly sure of one thing, the baseball team will definitely miss a good fielder for Mike proved his ability by taking baseball seriously. A class room may be ever so quiet, but just let someone slip in a bit of witticism, and Mike is right in there with his hearty laugh. Our thanks to one who appreciates our class's subtle type of humor. Mike has not had to lose any time for the attractions for the opposite sex, because if there is a less interested boy when it comes to girls, we fail to remember whom. Although Waid is undecided about the future, we do know that here's one lad that will make his old Alma Mater proud to have schooled a boy like him. , Page Seven teen

I 4-, HELEN WANNER RENNINGER Band 11, 2, 3, 415 Class Secretary 1113 Class Treasurer 1413 Senior Play 1413 Business Staff, Year Book 141 3 Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 41 3 Orchestra 111 3 Oper- etta 121. To her best friends Helen's usually known as Ren. Our faithful and efiicient treasurer for the past year, has had more than one headache when she tried to balance the budget. Although Helen is the tallest girl in the class, she is also the baby of the girls. Ren made her appearance in New Hol- land on April 18, 1925. Helen has always been a whiz at Latin and French translations and grammar. Remember how we envied her when she'd decline and conjugate those Latin verbs with the greatest of ease? All of Helen's marks easily place her on the first honor roll. In the future Helen wants to go to college, but so far the lucky college hasn't been decided upon. Her aim is teaching and everyone knows that her sunny disposition and amiable character will insure success. WILLIAM BLAINE SHIRK Electrician for Senior Play 1415 Business StaH, Year Book 141. Blaine is a Churchtown boy, born November 8, 1923. He first entered N. H. H. S. in his Freshman year. Although Blaine is one of the biggest and huskiest fellows in the class, he is also the most bashful, but you should see that lovely shade of pink. Blaine's pastime seems to be driving the Ford, but now that rubber is scarce, he takes the corners more slowly. Always liking speed, Blaine decided on an exciting profession when he was younger . . . aviation. As master electrician during the Senior Play, Blaine did a fine job of connecting lights, horns, and bells, and even went so far as to take his lovely set of horns off the Ford. Blaine would like to attend Parks Air College when he leaves school. If ever the members of the senior class need a pilot, Blaine, they'll look you up and here's lots of luck in your profession. CLARA ELIZABETH STAUFFER Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 41. The shortest, most reserved girl in our class was born and reared in Goodville. Clara just missed being a leap year baby by a few days 1February 25, 19241, and we're so glad you de- cided not to cause us all the trouble of figuring out how old you would be. Ever since ninth grade we hardly knew Clara was in our class, for she obeys those adages Silence is golden and Speaks only when spoken to. We'd miss Clara, though, if we wouldn't see her friendly smile and hear that soft voice each day. Commercial work seems to be Clara's favorite diversion. Nothing seems to bother Clara, and she takes everything in her stride. We all liked to kid Clara about her boy-friends, and the best time we found to do this was at noon. Her attitude, friendliness, and will, will make Clara succeed in anything. Page Sixteen

X Eg g: MARTIN WEAVER Basketball 12, 3, 43 5 Basketball Manager 113 5 Soc- cer 13, 43, Baseball 13, 435 Glee Club 1435 Senior Play 143, Leoninus 143. A decided blond, Marty is one member of the Senior class who really knows his Mathematics. We thought at first we might have a future Math teacher, but it seems Marty has other plans! Marty was born in New Holland, February 27, 1925, and entered our group in fourth grade. Up until then the class lack- ed something and Marty proved to be that something, and im- mediately became a friend to all. We'll never forget his fine work on the Varsity basketball squad. Many a time he slipped in a trickly field goal to make it tough going for the opposing team. Remember a handsome lad named Eddie in our Senior play? Well, that was our Marty, and an excellent job he did, too. Marty likes movies and more movies, and in his leisure time can be seen hitch-hiking to Lancaster with a gang to take in a show. Wherever you go after graduation, remember, our luck and the best of everything goes with you. MILDRED ARLENE WEAVER Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 43 9 Basketball 123 5 Operetta 123. Mi1ly,', who is the blonde of our class, was born September 9, 1924, in New Holland, is one of the most industrious people we know. Not only does she take care of the larger part of the school's secretarial work, but is a constant source of authority in office practice. She must live up to the old adage, Silence is Golden, be- cause never a word is uttered during class time, which only goes to show you what an excellent student she is. It's an established fact that blondes usually crave the op- posite sex, but here's one girl who doesn't bother in the least about any one of them. We guess she figures that there is plenty of time for that. Mildred is devoted to her studies and when the rest of us are complaining, she just smiles and makes the best of it. Although not active in sports, Milly is an ardent rooter at all soccer, track and basketball games. Good luck in your chosen field, Mildred, we're going to miss you! ELRAY WEIDMAN, JR. Basketball 1133 Baseball 13, 433 Basketball Man- ager 1333 Senior Play Electrician 143. A deep silence fills the room! Everyone's breathlessly awaiting the teacher's next move! Suddenly from out of no- where a jolly laugh issues forth. Aha! the guilty one is found, and it's none other than our old friend, Chick. Besides studies, which Chick sometimes considers boring, he finds relaxation by working in one of our local stores. Come on, fellow, get that ball here, what's holding you up? This little phrase is just one that Chick can be heard shouting behind home plate while he's doing an excellent job as the team's number one catcher. Elray, who was born September 15, 1923, never seems to let studies bother him, and even though work might pile up one week, he is one that does not slip up in his studies. Success in life is yours for the asking, Chick, and maybe some day you might be manager of a large retail store. Page Eighteen
