According to the old adage that the best things come in small packages, Pat must be made to order 'cause she is really an all- around girl. Popular with everyone, her field of activities is varied. If she is not slaving away as the very capable editor of T.C.N. she might be found cuttin' a sharp figure, dancing to some hot count basic rhythm. or enthusiastically leading the gang in a yea team! The Honor Roll seldom comes out minus her name. When asked what's her favorite song, she'll invari- ably answer Anchors Aweigh' 1who do you think she writes all those letters to anyway, huh?1. Her plans are all made for the next four years, namely the Library Science Course. When you go through those card catalogues, Pat, locate lots of hap- piness and success for yourself along the way. LEWIS JAY GEHMAN Born January 21, 1927 Lewie T.C.N. Moving Picture Manager 12,41g Assistant Manager 11,2,31 : Victory Air Corps 121. Lewie, who is the shortest fellow if our class, has been with us off and on throughout our high school days. He started school with us in first grade, but in the latter part of second grade he left us to go to Beartown school, then Ephrata, followed by a half year at Greenbank. In ninth grade we welcomed him to our class once more only to lose him to the Air Corps recently. LeWie was one of the six ambitious lads who took the summer course in order that he might finish his high school edu- cation before Uncle Sam took him. He is now stationed at an Air Crewmen's Training Center in Tennessee, where he is study- ing to be an aerial gunner. Our last semester was noticeably affected by the loss of his gags and gay laughter in the class rooms, but he is still studying hard and we are heartily backing our share of the Air Corps as hc shoots for success. ELEANOR GRACE LANDIS Born October 30, 1927 El Senior Play 1413 Glee Club 11,2,3,41g Band 1415 Orchestra 1415 Patrol 1415 Community Service 1315 Basketball 1415 Cafeteria 1415 Track 131. Well for gosh sakes! That was Eleanor's saying in the Class Play, in which she gained great success as Sarah the maid. Eleanor, who is better known to her friends as El first saw the light of day in New Holland, but as a tiny tot made the Community of Ephrata her home. After gaining the rest of her education at several schools, she made her debut in New Holland High School as a junior. Since she attended New Holland High School, she has fared well in Home Economics. She can also be seen in the Cafeteria every noon serving food. Among EPS chief delights are playing her clarinet and intramural basketball, not to mention her commercial work. The latter falls in with her plan to become a teacher in the future. We know you will succeed in your future ambitions. Page Twelve

v a FLORENCE JOAN BOWERS Born October 10, 1927 Joan Leoninus 1113 Dramatics 1113 Glee Club 11,2,3,41g Patrol 11,2,3,41g Victory Corps 121, Community Ser- vice 131. The girl with the gleam in her eye . . . that's Joan, and it's a very infectious gleam, too, for one can't help smiling when Joan smiles, or laughing when Joan laughs, that's impossible. She's talented along the music line, having taken piano les- sons and adding her soprano voice to the glee club for four years in high school, but that artistic Hair overpowers allg consequently she's headed straight for Kutztown College next year, where slxe will establish residence for the following four years, and after that 'I ? 'I . . . maybe commercial art! What girl in the senior class doesn't envy Joan her brown, curly hair and dark eyes? Nary a one could answer no to such a query. With an incurable pash for dancing, and any- thing that's nice, she has gained many friends along the way, and everyone knows that Joan is sure to go soaring upward fast and furiously in her first solo flight . . . life! RUTH BRENDLE Born October 13, 1927 Ruthie Glee Club 11,2,3,41g Community Service 131, Track 131. Speech is silver, but silence is golden is the maxim by which Ruth lives. She is not only one of the quietest, but also one of the shortest members of the class of '45, Ruth knows what is going cn, but is inclined to let the rest talk about it, while she ponders the subject. Since her appearance in New Holland High in ninth grade, Ruth has been a commercial student and is adept in the arts of typing and shorthand. Also an ardent Home Ec. pupil, Ruth has helped to whip up many delectable dishes and has shown her ability to sew a Hne seam. Though often seen, but seldom heard, Ruth's friendly smile is familiar to all. She loves sports and is an outstanding guard in basketball, as well as an able dribbler on the hockey field. Here's to the future, Ruth . . . may it bring you success and happiness. MARILYN ELAINE DE HART Bo1'n July 13, 1927 Lynn Glee Club 11,2,31g Cafeteria 13,415 Patrol 12,3,41g T.C.N. 131g Community Service 12,315 Victory Corps 1213 Leoninus 141. Tall dark-haired Marilyn joined us in her Freshman year from Bowmansville. Since then she has proved to be a very worthy member of our class. She has helped solve the financial problem of the cafeteria, by serving as cashier in her junior and senior years. Among her chief delights are bowling and reading. One can always find Lynn giving a lusty yell at a basketball game rather than participating in the sport. Patrol and Glee Club have also enlisted her as one of their members. Marilyn has taken the Academic course and after gradua- tion her neatness is bound to help her in her work. Good luck to you, Marilyn, in everything you do. We know you will be a credit to the nursing profession. r 1 Page Eleven

I I ARVELLA LOUISE LOHT Born May 23, 1927 Al Senior Play 141g Glee Club 11,2,41g Patrol 11,2,3, 41g Community Service 1315 Victory Corps 1219 Band 111. Short and jolly, Arvella loves to laugh. Her sense of humor and timely remarks have won her many friends. She is one of the East-end gang who has a reputation for breezing in the door a scant few seconds before the buzzer rings. A strong alto, Arvella has raised her voice in song as a member of the Glee Club for four years. She used to swing it on a clarinet, but gave it up in preference to dancing to a hot number. She is one of the Farley vous students, but chemistry is still he1 big mystery. Though she is a southpaw, this jolly miss wields a handy pencil, and is a prominent member of the elective art class. A great deal of her time is spent with pen in hand boosting the morale of a number of English sailors for letter writing is one of her hobbies. It is written in the stars, Arvella, that success will be yours. HAZEL IRENE LOWRY Born December 8, 1927 Hazel Glee Club 11,2,31g Community Service 131, Senior Play 1415 Leoninus 1413 Basketball Manager 141. This small young miss with the dark brown eyes has been a member of our class since the freshman year. What the gang would do without Lowry in dull moments is something to con- sider. Where this lass is, conversation is kept buzzing. Hazel, who is a commercial student, is always looking for something to type, especially French papers for Mr. Driscoll. Aside from her studies, Hazel lends her voice in the soprano section of the Glee Club. She served very eiiiciently as manager of the girls' basketball team. Flash! Zoom! Just Lowry dashing about in her Dad's blue Hudson 1when the gas isn't all1. If she isn't taking someone home after school you can rest assured she is taking the kids to Lancaster, where she is studying beauty culture. 'l he principal heart interest of Hazel is Snau . . . a worthy use of leisure. MELVIN LUDWIG November 23, 1927 Mel Basketball 13,415 Soccer 12,415 Leoninus 1413 Glee Club 121. ltls fifteen seconds till the end of the game with New Hol- land lagging behind by one point, in the final play-oif game for the Lancaster County Championship. It looks bad, but, hold on . . . look! Mel has the ball, and calmly from mid-court he shoots and . . . swish! it goes right through the basket, not even touching the rim. Aside from his expert ability in basketball and numerous other sports, Mel has been one to whom we go for help in solv- mg those involved Solid and Trig problems. We met this mathematical whizz in eighth grade when f'Mel came to New Holland Schools from the Cross Roads School. Coming to New Holland might have proved to be a turning point in his life, for it was here that he met Ethel. Since then the two have been inseparable . . . like bacon and eggs . . . tr bread and butter. As the story goes, we hope you live happily ever after. Page Thirteen
