I ,. 'f s ' ' 'Q : A THE PLAYERS v I , 1 ..' Q 1 Y, I I as 5 I 'i tx fx DAVIS, ETHEL With jovial nature shown by gleaming smile, she meets each day and stops to laugh awhile. Therefore, in addi- tion to being an excellent typist, Ethel's charming smile and mellow disposition have stamped her as having been a real asset to her class and her school. Her even temper and co-operative spirit made work on this edition of II!-S-POTTS a most pleasant task. DAVIS, JACK Iniative is a quality which Jack has demonstrated well - not in school, perhaps, but certainly after classroom hours. His friends know he spends much time in serious endeavors. Al- ways silent and unassuming, Jack reminds us of the little man who wasn't there. His pleasant manner, though, is something we all will remember. DELPH, VIRGINIA That attractive brunette doing the latest steps on the dance floor is, more than likely, Virginia. Although she may not know much about Shakespeare, she knows how to cul- tivate friendships! Her ambition is to become a beautician. Isn't it natural that Virginia would be a favorite among the stronger ssex? DEMPSEY, MARIE Quietness and confidence constitute her strength. Marie has always given us this impression. She is fond of reading. The key to her ambition is, strangely enough, keys, whether they be those of the typewriter or the piano. Marie's alertness plus her efliciency will make for a richness and fulness of harmony in her every endeavor. ls F Y 1 fu -a DENAPOLI, GEORGE George wants to be a fashion designer in an exclusive shop in Hawaii. Could it be that he'll change the style of the grass skirt or perhaps inaugurate a new form of greeting other than the lei? In addition to his interest in designing, George has lite.rary inclinations-especially in the realm of poetry. Word designing, eh? DENGLER, CLARENCE Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight, and tell me just ONE thing I studied?? last night! appears to be this chap's theme song. Bubbling with enthusiasm for everything except classroom work, our blond-haired jokester has made many acquaintances. Electrical engineering SEEMS to be his future goal, but right now, well-why should you care? lle doesn't! DERAMO, MARY All virtues and no vices make Mary a very lovable girl. Always quiet and fond of studying, she plans to enter the teaching profession. Most of us would enjoy going to school all over again if we'd have this cheerful personality to guide us through the day. Our hats are off to you, Mary! DEVVALD, DORIS The better you know her, the better you like her. As President of the Girl Reserves, Doris certainly has shown plenty of reserve - what it takes! A graceful skater and dancer, she has exhibited an equal amount of zest in her studies. It isn't o ' gentlemen who prefer blondes, for Doris is equally as popular amo the g' of '41, .itggs is Dwi , X xi' x I ' N, , x Q. ' simon ctass '4li'g'ii XR N' .. , K ,, i-AX' iw -1. I is 5 V' .

i EICOOGAN, VIRGINIA Jolly, jovial, and jocund is Ginny. Her pleasing personality and her cheerful disposition have made her many lasting friends in P. II. S. She is fond of spnrts, but enjoys dancing a little more. She attends Pottsville High just for the fun, studies are a minor interest. VVe wish her all the luck in the world. COOPER, JAMES VVith our c0untry's defense program forging ahead rapidly, jim has wisely decided to take advantage of the situation and become an airplane mechanic. Never in a hurry fexcept at lunch timej, his carefree attitude and ready smile have helped to make these four years a pleasure to remember. COOPER, YARNELL K'He floats through the air with the greatest of ease. These words can be said of Yarnell. Ile is fond of all sports. llis ambition is to enter Temple or join the Navy. VI'e needn't be afraid of Yarnell's having a girl in every port, for femmes are of minor importance to him. CRESSMAN, MARJORIE HVVhile I live I shall be merry. What words could better describe A'Marge's attitude toward life? She doesn't believe in spending too much of her time in studying. She would rather engage in doing something she enjoys, such as swimming or skating. Her fascinating blue eyes and friendly disa position account for her manyyfriends. ,I Q r K4 HQ:- ',, f,,t, sf f L'44l' 1-.e..ar.. 44'---Aff . af' ' fu ' CROLI.

Evidently, this is Dorothy's opinion, for she is very fond of reading. Her ambition is to become a librarian. Dot is a delightful com- paniong she can always provide some humor to make life more enjoyable. Iler super-abundance of common sense is one of her distinguishing features. DAVIS, ANNA l'Ann is one of the small, quiet melnbers of the '41 contingent. Her ambition is to become a nurse. The white cap will offer a striking contrast to her dark, curly hair. It would be a pleasure to be sick if one knew a gentle nurse such as Ann would be near. Ah! l l DAVIS, CARI. It has been a pleasure to know Davis No. 3. Friendship and loyalty go hand in hand with Carl. Ilis likeable nature has won many friends for this lanky, red-topped lad. Ile will probably spend most of the coming summer on the tennis courts behind the school, then put his racquet aside to don an army uniform. Page Szxieen

THE ELHYERS DIETRICII, JUNE lt's June in January and every month of the year for those who associate with this young Miss. VVe're cer- tain that her daily hike from South Centre Street is the key to her peaches-and-cream complexion. June plans to become a teacher of commercial subjects. Then June will reign in the classroom month in and month out! DINICH, PAULINE Report to my oliice in the morning to begin work. These words from a prospective employer will be music to Pauline's ears, for her ambition is to hecome a secretary. Paul- ine's neat, conservative appearance will be an asset to any office. One of her most admirable qualities is her ability to be herself at all times. DIXON, MIRIAM Miriam is walking proof of the statement that Bashfulness is an ornament of youth. Her quietness and reserve were her principal characteristics. She let her smile bespeak her mind-and a smile can convey plenty! Miriam plans to enter the nursing profession - a vocation in which a smile will prove more rejuvenating than any medicinal concoction. DOLAN, JOSEPH To the casual observer, Joe'! appears to be a likeable lad, with a keen wit, a fast-working brain, who has been outstanding in Student Council and T. K. D. affairs. But there is a deeper side to Joe. It may be hard to reach, but when you get there, you know you have found a friend more earnest and sincere than any you may ever hope to meet. DOVE, JACK VVC seldom think of the P. fl. S. Band without envisioning that high-stepping, baton-twirling drum major. One of those Hbehind-the-scenes boys, Jack was forever running errands and carrying packages for one of the teachers. In addition to his numerous activities, he found time to establish a nne schol- astic record. Nice going, Jack ! DOVVNEY, BETTY A vivacious blonde with a merry giggle and a pleasing personality is Betty. Like Madame Defarge, her favo- rite extra-curricular activity is knitting, and she is by no means an amateur at it! Betty hasn't decided what she would like to do after leaving school. However, we all have a good idea!! May she knit golden years into a life of happiness! DRAGNA, LUCETTA The peppy, dark-haired girl playing a gargantuan fiddle in the orchestra is none other than Lucy, Although Lucy did manage to get her classroom work finished, she looked upon such details as of minor importance. Her being a smooth dancer and a lover of music will surely help to make this girl's life as merry as it is long. DRAKE, FRANCIS It's Sir Francis Drake, sir! This gentle- manly chap hails from Mechanicsville, and a worthy addition to our group he has been. His a cappella choir membership is ade- quate testimony of his singing ability. He's no sluggard in the classroom, either. To do well in his every worthwhile effort is his desire - a truly noble one, indeed! Page Eighteen SENIOR CLASS '41
