a n A JEAN MASER Born December 27, 1926 ' Jeanie Glee Club 11,2,45, Basketball 11,2,3,45g Track 11,2,355 Patrol 11,2,3,45g Leoninus 145, Community Service 135, Dramatics 115, G.A.A. 145, Victory Corps 125. 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

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

l l LESTER NELSON Born September 30, 1928 Les Les joined our ranks in ninth grade when he moved to New Holland from Lancaster, where he went to the Edward Hand Junior High School. Lester is one of the quieter members of our class and hasn't very much to say, but even if you don't hear much from him, he is still there and doing some thinking, too, for when he is called upon he responds with a concise reply. Les can very frequently be found at Maple Grove, where he and his friends happily enjoy the art of roller skating, and you will find, too, that he is an expert along that line. His thoughts are also in the air, and Lester is planning his career in the aviation world. Last summer he took a course in fiight training, which he expects to continue this summer, and after passing the same will be qualified for his student pilot's license. Lester hopes and we all hope with him that he can fulfill his dream and as he puts it, be a pilot just for the fun of it. ROBERT LEE OBERHOLZER E01-n May 11, 1928 Obie Glee Club Q3Jg Senior Play 1433 T.C.N. Qljg Man- ager, Stamp Drive 141. From the nearby town of Blue Ball came this light-haired senior. Lee joined us in the Freshman year, after obtaining his first eight years of education from the school in his home town. Obie the sole lad among the Senior Commercial students, is not swayed by the opposite sex. They do not bother him! Al- though he does participate in many activities, he has served capably as manager of the Stamp Drive sponsored each week. Leeis name may also be found on the Honor Roll. After school hours, Lee may be found pondering over ac- counts at the Blue Ball Machine Shop. That is why his Ply- mouth or Ford and the passengers that go to and from school with him each day, leave shortly after dismissal. Of course, Lee was wise in taking the commercial course since after gradu- aticn he will be his father's right hand bookkeeper in the country store at Goodville, where this chap moved during the last few weeks of school. HARVEY H. OVERLY Born October 5, 1926 Harvey Senior Play 441. This handsome young lad hails from the metropolis of East Earl. He first entered New Holland High School in his fresh- man year. Harvey's congenial disposition has won him the friendship and admiration of all his classmates and under those much-to-be-envied black locks is a brain that has been used to advantage during his high school life. Although Harvey is one of the biggest and huskiest fellows in the class, he is, by repu- tation, the most bashful, turning a lovely shade of pink when he blushes. Harvey could always be depended upon to bring his gang to school every day, rain or shine, in that familiar Plymouth. He has an answer for every question, though of course not always the right one. His time out of school has been taken up mostly with lend- ing a helping hand to his father on the farm. As an added bit of information, Harvey is now in the Navy. The class of '45 wishes you the best of luck on the sea of life. ' ' iw Page Fifteen
