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

i i PATRICIA REYNOLDS FENNINGER Born October 31, 1927 Pat Band 11,2,31g Orchestra 11,2,31 3 Glee Club 11,3,41g T.C.N. 11,2,3,41g Leoninus 1413 Quill and Scroll 1413 Class Officer 1119 Senior Play 141g Patrol 11,2,3,41g Cheerleader 13,41 g Home Room Officer 121 3 Sextet 141 5 Victory Corps 121 3 Community Service 12,31. 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

Hear that laugh over in yonder corner? It must be Maser listening to another joke. Her infectious giggle is unmistakable as she flashes another grin and rolls her eyes. Jeanie comes a long way to school these days. She's been with us ever since the very first day of first grade, when she lived right outside of New Holland. Last year she moved to Brownstown, but she could not be torn away from her beloved class and insisted upon sticking with us to the very end. A whiz on the basketball court, Maser flashes in and out, startling spectators with her shots. Her voice plays an import- ant part in every cheering section, too, and she can be heard cheering the New Holland team on to victory. Here's hoping that the future holds many victories for you, Jeanie. GLADYS McGINNIS Born January 16, 1927 McGfimzis'l Glee Club 11,3,45 3 Orchestra 11,2,3,45 9 Senior Play 145, Basketball 145, Track 1l,3,45g T.C.N. 1453 Quill and Scroll 1455 Class Ofiicer 13,455 Community Service 1353 Dramatics 115, G.A.A. 1455 Ofiice Secretary 145, Leoninus 145, Student Librarian 1359 Victory Corps 1353 Sextette 145. Tall, blonde and ambitious, that's Gladys. She loves argu- ments and never hesitates to enter one whether it be animal, mineral, or chemical. She usually wins too, because as a rule. she knows what shcls talking about, and makes sure she gets in the last word. She's the gal with the ready laugh, and loves lun. An honor roll never appears without Gladys' name at the top, for she's always an industrious student. She hankers for knowledge and took both commercial and academic subjects be- fore deciding upon a career. Gladys aims to be a woman in white and plans to go into training at the Lancaster General Hospital. If ambition and hard work lead to success, Gladys, your future will be bright. MARY ANN MUSSELMAN Born July 7, 1927 Muz Community Service 1355 Dramatics 1255 Sextette 1453 Track 11,3,45g Basketball 11,2,3,45g Glee Club 11,3,453 G.A.A. 145g Cheerleaders 13,45g Senior Play 145, T.C.N. 11,3,45g Patrol 11,2,3,45g Leoninus Editor 1455 Quill and Scroll 145, Victory Corps 125. Wanna know anything? Just ask Muz, and she'll tell you! As one of the brains of the class, who is more qualified than she to answer? Not many an activity in the school, with the exception of band and orchestra, functions without the name, Mary Ann Musselman, on its membership roll. She gets around, in school and outside, too. She, like the other members of the Triumvirate . . . Fen- ninger, Musselman, Ambler, Inc., is also kept quite busy with pen 'n' ink, keeping up the morale of the fellows, and on any quiet Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall evening when there's nothin' doin', she can be found fast and furiously writing. When you go physiotherapy through life, Muz, take lots of time out for happiness . . . you deserve it! page Fourteen ff 'sAWs ' new f H as ff
