THE PLAYERS G .50 U- BLACKTON, JACK There are two days which we should never worry about -Yesterday and Tomorrow. A sound philosophy, Jack thinks. He wants to lead a band. We suggest that he get in touch with Sammy Kaye for his preliminary training. Jack can be seen trippin' on someone else's toes in the girls' gym every sec- ond lunch period! VVhat a guy! BLANKENHORN, BETTY Betty is the type of girl in whom one can confide all one's secrets and troubles. She's a girl with a cheery voice, a warm smile, and a friendly attitude toward all. She has chosen 'nursing as her life's work and plans to go into training at the Pottsville Hospital. A white cap to you, Betty! BLANKENHORN, MARGUERITE Blushes come and blushes go, but freckles stay forever. Redheads usually do possess freckles, and why should Marguerite be an exception! You may think her a quiet girl, but when she is among her own friends-well, there's just no appeasing her. Marguerite will make a fine secretary, for she possesses both initiative and dependability. BOHLER, WILLIAM Bill believes that one should get the maximum amount of work out of the mtntmum amount of study x gemarkable lad he ts, indeed.

May good fortune ever attend her! BORRELL, JOSEPH Joe is a product of that neighboring metropolis, Marlin. Shopwork claims his general interest, wood- work is his particular joy.

Ship ahoy there, 'fJoe ! I BOVVEISS, MARIAN Marian is a veritable black-eyed susan. She puisesses a certain neatness which we all admire.

The casual observer might see in her but one side-the quiet. We who have known her longer appreciate her as a witty conversationalist and a jolly good friend. Dancing is her chief hobby, swimming is her favorite sport. What an ideal secretary Isabel will make! BALSIS, EDWARD This tall, light - complexioned, ambitious, young man 'is just one of the many of our classmates interested in aeronautics. His chief hobby is modeling airplanes. That his efforts in this line of work will hear fruit can not he doubted. He is eager tn become associated with a commercial airline concern. In a few years Ed will be one of the wings over America. BANKES, LEROY I.eRoy's chief end and aim in life is to become a traffic manager. All who have seen Bankes tap dance must admit that he'll be most prohcient in side-stepping his way through traflic. This scholarly looking chap will be an enrollee in the University at Pennsylvania in '42 - he hopes! S0 do we! BARBETTA, ELEANOR In Eleanor we present one of the most unobtrusive members of our class. She comes and goes, pays strict attention to her own affairs, and troubles no one. She's completely in her glory when she can pick out a nice soft spot from which she can listen to a concert. Next year Eleanor expects to trudge up to Bunker llill to Penn State Center. BARKER, JAMES Mr. Barker is A quiet kind of chap who has something more than nonsense stored up within his head. jim has taken the Industrial Course, for he ir an industrious young man. He has two chief desires: to become an aviator or to become a draftsman. Surely he need not depend solely upon Dame Fortune in attaining either objective. BAUSBACII, VIRGINIA Virginia is one of our Home Economics students, and she is economical-and attractive. fWhat are you guys waiting for?j She can be counted on to help in anything, be it work or mischief. Virginia took German for two years and, what's more, liked it. May she always spend wisely her time, her efforts, and her cash! K 5 is Qf f'fDl' tv -F u V BE HTEI.,xE ITH YI-ler voice was ever soft, gentle and low- an excellent thing in a,woman. Yes, friends, she is reserved and quiet. Edith was never known to break any of the rules and regu- lations of the school. Shelis a marvel when it comes to roller skat- ing and volley ball. May Life never grow dull for her! ISERGSTEIN, STANLEY Bergstein and the Ht-S-PoT'rs news- paper are synonymous. Stanley certainly has excelled in his most responsible position as co-editor. Asking questions, arguing vocif- erously, and scooping hot-off-the-griddle newsbreaks are his meat and drink. This clean-cut, industrious chap aspires to whet further his journalistic appetite at the University of Michigan. Bergstein edits the news! Page E level: '

The T. K. D. members selected him as their Mr. Big this year. HSonny's a Dead Eyed Dick on the basketball court. He really can arch that inllated oval through the hoop! VVhat's more, he plans to follow through and become another Nat Holman- a top Hight basketball coach. BUYER, MARLAND HCoach Boyer, as he hopes to be called in his future years, has learned by experience how the basketball game is played. His wise cracks kept band and orchestra rehearsals from becoming too dull. Always ready with a smile to help out where assistance is necessary, Boyer No. 2 leaves us with his basketball under one arm, his tooter under the other, and his diploma in the bag. VVhere do we go from here? I .M BR ', A I' sure ca s an enemy o i e s e fdjlhe wav a f , Igor s oesr't upe r ave in the vorl e b ' ves t easur I e benelici an duties.

She is very fond of reading, particularly books dealing with aviation, for her ambition is a lofty one-to become an aviatrix. Since onward and upward seem to be the watchwords in this line of endeavor, may she attain the heights to which she aspires. BREEDON, ELIZABETH To this quiet but ambitious classmate we say, in her own words, Hello, Pal! Elizabeth aspires to become either a good typist or an athletic instructor. She is plan- ning to enter Virginia State College. The good sportsmanship which she exhibits will always serve her well. Our best wishes gn with you, Elizabeth. BRENNAN, MARY From our observation, we believe Mary's creed is this: I believe in God, for I have seen it snow, I believe in miracles, for I have seen a seed grow out of nothingness into a golden glow. ' New York City is her lodestoneg to be an airplane stew rdess is her desire. This little gal has what it takes! I I 1 I 1 ',,n n I u . ,gn BRINICII, ESTHER Gay slid ambitious is Esther. .
