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

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

1 Qian, ETHEL RENNINGER Born March 30, 1928 Ren', Glee Club 11,2,3,41g Basketball 11,2,3,41g T.C.N. 141 3 Quill and Scroll 141g Hockey 131 g Leoninus 141 5 Victory Corps 1215 Band 11,21g Orchestra 11,213 Of- fice Secretary 1415 Track 11,2,31g Community Service 1315 Senior Play 141. Shoot it! Shoot it! shouts the crowd as Ethel swiftly places another ball into the basket and the score goes climbing higher and higher. As a forward on the varsity basketball team we can depend on her to keep our record good and she keeps her opponents stepping. Also her clear soprano voice has become an asset to the glee club in the past four years. By the way, if you hear some silly giggle from the corner of the room, that will be Ethel laughing at some corny joke. At the present time her main in- terest is Melvin. Just what she will do after graduation is in- definite. Perhaps she will become a secretary, although she may settle for a little red farm house. Well, whatever it is, Ethl, with your capability and personality we know you will succeed. BETTY JANE SENSENICH Born November 17, 1927 Betty Glee Club 11,2,3,41g Community Service 1313 Vic- tory Corps 121g T.C.N. 141. Betty, who is an attractive dark-haired lass, was born in Beartown. She is one of the quieter members of the class. She made her debut in New Holland High School as a freshman, and has since made the town her home. Her knowledge in the field of Home Economics is sincerely appreciated by members of the class to whom Betty gives out bits of information. Betty tries to practice the statement, A friend in need is a friend indeed, by being friendly to everyone. She has taken the commercial course. Her typing ability is appreciated by members of the faculty. When the band is playing the Army Air Corps song, a knowing gleam comes into her eyes as she dreams of days to come. We know her future will be happy . . . whether she chooses a career or settles down in a little white cottage with a picket fence. ELEANOR MARY SIMMONS Born July 16, 1928 Dude Glee Club 12,415 Senior Play 141. Eleanor has come to us in her senior year from Salisbury High, where she has graduated from the three-year course. Dude is one of the quiet, industrious members of our class, and she is a good friend to everyone. She takes much interest in her school work and is willing to do whatever is asked of her. She is also the youngest member of the class. Eleanor does not spend all her time on lessons, for her hobbies are reading, or playing the piano. She has also added her alto voice to the Glee Club. The commercial course claims most of Dude's time and she hopes to become a secretary after graduation. Her commer- cial work has shown the effects of hard work, ability, neatness and accuracy, so she should have no trouble in carrying out het intended career. Here's wishing you lots of luck, Dude and hoping that that shorthand of yours transcribes success. Page Sixteen
