LOIS M. BOLOGNA Lois is another of our blonde secretaries who has a great de- sire to travel. With a smile as bright as her hair, Lois cheered the dullest of our days. She could always be found in the gym after school playing a bang- up game of basketball. Our best wishes will always be with her. NANCY BOMM lust mention sports and see who comes running. Yep, you guessed it - Nan She espe- cially likes to roller-skate, and we are told she is quite an ex- ceptional skater. With Nancy's lovable frankness, distinct in- dividuality, and her combination of joy and seriousness, she is guaranteed to please. PATRICIA M. BRENNAN Sweet, demure Pat could never be considered the noisy student, but her presence was al- ways felt. She seemed to glow with personality. Complete nat- uralness combined with an even disposition made her universally popular. Ford Business School will be proud to claim Pat as one of their students. BETTY IANE CAMODECA Betty was a faithful worker for Mr. Lindeman. It still amazes us just how she mastered her shorthand so quickly. Soft-spok- en, easy, and effortless, Betty was able to accomplish things in the most efficient manner. We hope her record in the future will be as splendid as it was in P. H. S. SHIRLEY CARTWRIGHT Shirl is a tall, blonde, and attractive Miss. She has skipped through high school as if she were playing a game . . . claims her favorite sport is horseback riding. We will all miss our Shirl, her loyalty, sense of hu- mor, and sunny disposition. SIXTEEN MITTIE ANN CATHCART Mitz, one of the assembly pianists, was a great asset to all concerts given by the choirs. Mittie Ann plans to become a nurse at the Bryn Mawr Hospi- tal after graduation. With the aid of her bright personality, we are sure her patients will have a speedy recovery. IANET CODY Yokel s e e m e d to be the backbone of the Mt. Hope gang. Ianet proved to be an excellent captain for this year's cheer- leaders. She is able to accom- plish any task with a minimum of effort and a maximum of re- sult. We will remember Ianet long after she leaves P. H. S. DOROTHY V. COLLINS Dot's decision to leave P. H. S. in the middle of our senior year was a real loss to our class. Her friendly smile, blonde hair, and pleasant greetings are missed by all. MARTHA A. CONNORS Martha . . . sweet, sincere. and an efficient general clerical stu- dent . . . would like to become a secretary or a sales clerk. Foot- ball and swimming rate tops with her . . . loved every minute of P. of D. taught by Mr. Sterner. Her chief interest is a certain someone . . . proved herself an excellent president of the Y- Teens. HELENE COOCH Blonde hair, blue eyes, com- bined with attractive clothes, re- minds us of our Connie. She gave much of her time to the Librar Club and the HI-S- POTTYS . . . plans to enter Kutz- town next year. Football, danc- ing, and algebra taught by Mr. Liddle rank as high on her list of favorites as she does on ours.

IANET BARRETT After watching Red lead cheers at the game, we know she has the pep to undertake any- thing. She is always ready to have a good time and never ap- peared out of sorts. Ianet was at her best when in Miss Ryder's class or with the Mt. Hope gang. We know you'l get your wishes, Red. IANET BARTHOLOMEW Bart, one of our charming majorettes, would like to become a Number Please Girl. Ianet found interest in the Dramatic Club, Home Economics Club, Girls' Gym team, C u r r e n t Events Club, Allied Youth, and the band. Ianet likes our assem- blies, but we like her alert mind and extreme loyalty. GRACE BECHTEL Always eager to do her best, Grace was helpful in many ways to various organizations. A mem- ber of the commercial course, she also took part in school func- tions until her health forced her to leave us. A Cappella Choir was among her favorite classes, and her alto voice was a big asset to the group. IAMES BEISSEL Itch seems to exist just for basketball season. He gave his all on the hardwood of P. H, S. Iim's quietness was very de- ceiving, for few of us guessed the hum of activity within him. I-le was active in all school do- ings, and we know he is going to be very active in the future. WILMER BENDER Bill is busy preparing to be- come a Salvation Army officer. He enjoys any type of sport, but placed football above them all. Bill liked his commercial math class and placed a big stamp of approval on assemblies. When you hear Oh, Yeah? echoing down the hall, you can be pretty sure A'Bill is nearby. FIFTEEN ROBERT E. BEST If Bob appeared to be walk- ing with his head in the clouds, he's merely showing his interest in aeronautics. HBob would like nothing better than to be at the controls of one of our planes. He was always willing to look at a football game in our stadi- um. Keep 'em flying, Bob. DONALD BEVAN Ice is well known to all the students because of his partici- pation in everything possible. He is an academic student and plans to attend Bucknell for further learning. Ioe was quite active in P. of D. and loved to play football, especially with the gang HOMER BIXLER 'ABix was the Daniel Boone of the class, for he was always ready to explore in fishing or hunting. An industrious student in the auto shop, Bix was busy planning his future as a mechan- ic. We shall never forget and always treasure our memories of im. IOHN E. BLAKELY lack met all his friends with a Hi, Lou. He hopes to be- come a skilled cabinet-maker, but we'll always look on him as an able gymnast. lack served his homeroom well in the oflice of secretary. Gym and shop rank first, last, and always to this cheerful fellow. SHIRLEY BOHLER Shirl is one of the very tal- ented artists in the class, Though painting is tops with her, she appears to be very interested in music. She was also an active member in many clubs. No longer sharing the sunshine of Shirl's laughter will leave a large gap in our lives.

WILLIAM I. COULSON For four years Bills energy seemed to have centered on the wood shop. He must be serious about it, for he tells us he has high hopes of becoming a very successful carpenter. Bill likes to box and cheers loud and long at all our athletic contests. With his pleasing personality and winning smile a bright future is bound to be in store for him. GERALD G. CURRAN The Distributive Ed. class' pride and joy happens to be jerry . . . quite bashful, but the girls' delight. A more ardent baseball fan is hard to find. jerry would like nothing bet- ter than to be the proprietor of a sporting goods store. With his personality, there's bound to be a rush of customers. GEORGE W. CURRY Willie could easily be nam- ed the most faithful boy in the class. He is an ambitious mem- ber of the wood shop with an eye toward being a carpenter. George got his exercise on the gym team and did a fine job for Mr. Wilbur. To a fine fellow we wish only the best. WILLIAM F. DAVIS Tiny runs the Home Maid, much to the delight of the gang. Our little boy really did a great job on the P. H. S. gridiron, despite his minute size ill. Bill was a member of the band and Varsity Club for four years. We seldom saw him with- out a sport magazine. WILLIAM T. DAVIS Crum, as he is known by all of his friends, would like to try his skill as an engineer. He can play a good game of basketball with the Archers any time. He tells us his greatest interest is girls, but they must be from Schuylkill Haven. 'ABill enjoys our assemblies and the gym classes most of all. SEVENTEEN ARLEN R. DAY Cowboy was always busy running around the town in his accessory-loaded Olds, giving out with a cheer Hit the road! to everyone. Krlen really enjoyed playing end on our foot- ball teams during his four years with us. Although his future is undecided, we wish him the best of everything. ROBERT DEAN Man Mountain Dean is a great outdoors man, and can be found hunting any time the op- portunity presents itself. During his stay at P. H. S. he found gym classes the most enjoyable, with choir and assemblies rating a close second. Quiet and unas- suming, Bob is a friend to all without a harsh word for any- one. RAPHAEL DI CELLO Ray, an outstanding guard on our football team this year, expects to enter prep school and later go on to college. His great- est interest in school was current events, and, of course, all sports. Ray never missed a basketball game. We know he will suc- ceed. BEVERLY DIEFFENBACH The Class of '50 lost a sweet, dainty girl when 'AE-ev moved to Lancaster at the end of her junior year. While a member of our group, she studied under the general clerical curriculum. Now a member of McCaskey High School, we hope they will appre- ciate her friendship as much as we have here in P. H. S. IOAN DEITER Ioanie, our efficient co-edi- tor of HI-S-POTTS, is one of the friendliest girls in the senior class. She participated in many extra-curricular activities and always did a swell job. We will miss that giggle which always comes at our bluest moments and that enthusiasm which always spurs us on.
