RICHARD D. KNOWLTON Witty, friendly, and coopera- tive, Dick was an active mem- ber of our class. He helped put the senior play across with a bang! Music is Dicks great- est interest, as was illustrated when he was a member of the band, A Cappella, and District and State Choirs. We're notify- ing the Philadelphia Music Con- servatory to open their doors for Dick. ARLINE KRAKAUER Arline, an ambitious academic student, plans to attend State Teachers' College to become a member of that worthy profes- sion. She devoted all energy and spare time to the various clubs to which she belonged. In the summer, Arline played tennis like a 'iprof' Best of luck to our future teacher. ROBERT KRELL A'Bob, tiny but full of pep, would like to try his skill as a machinist. He is one of our class's greatest boosters and is well liked by both teachers and pupils. He has obtained many faithful friends through his pleas- ing ways. The shops will surely miss Bob and his friendly smile. IOHN A. KLITCH Iohnny, lucky fellow, sailed through the industrial course like a breeze. We wonder what Mr. Wilbur would have done with- out him, or vice versa. When Iohnny isn't working out on a piece of apparatus, he can be found skating or swimming with some of the boys. Iohnny's future is Navy bound. BERNARD LAPINSKI Bernie's future is yet unde- cided, but strange as it may seem, he does not want to be- come President. He is a credit to everyone - his teachers, his friends, and his school. 'iBernie has a reputation as being a fine student. What is more, he is a finer friend. TWENTY-FOU R ROBERT LALIGHLIN Bob is a boy who would rather tinker with an automobile than do anything else. He hails from Port Carbon, and is mighty proud of it. He is always glad when winter comes, for he is a line skier. Although Bob is undecided about his future, we llilnngw he will be a credit to P. ROSE MARIE LAUGHLIN Rosie was a shy, quiet gal of the class who went through the home ec. course with long strides . . . would like to be a successful wife. She was a foot- ball fan who would never talk against the team. We know that the man who gets her will be a lucky one. IOHN LAZO Iohnny, one of our future scientists, shocked us all by say- ing he really enjoyed chemistry class. Iohn would like to further his education at Penn State and become a great physicist. If Iohn is as good a student in col- lege as he was here, we just know he will succeed. IOYCE LEE Dimples . . . neat, cute, with oodles of vitality . . . known for her contagious and hearty laugh . . . fooled everyone by taking the part of a snippy gal in the senior play. She contributed a geat deal to A. Y., Camera lub, and Home EC. Club. Al- though she says her future is undecided, we're sure we know better. CHRIST G. LEFFLER Red fwonder where he got that name?l is gifted with a rich bass voice. We never knew any- one with more girls than Chris. He goes in for baseball in a big way . . .helped the city champs earn the title. We'll always remember Red for the leading role he played in the sen- ior play.

1oHN IOHNSTON Tip's favorite saying, Sponge the carburetor, gives us a hint of his biggest interest, his jalopy. lack never runs out of schemes to make plenty of money. Penn State is his next stop on the way to being an admiral in Uncle Sam's Navy. MARY ANN IOLILWAN It's a shame that all classes can't have a 'AIolly. When a pep rally is lagging, it's always her happy spirit that brightens things up. Iolly participates in many clubs and carries her tal- ents into the choirs and art de- partment. She yearns to be a de- signer, and we're backing her all the way. CAROLYN ILILIAN Although being co-business manager of the HI-S-POTTS, Carol is frequently seen in the annual room. She is always ready to help others and has a smile for everyone. There were never enough dances and con- certs to Carol's way of think- ing. All of us join in wishing her luck. MARY C. IULIAN Mary is a member of our dis- tributive education class. Some day she plans to become a buyer for a large department store. She has been a member of our Home Ec. Club and took part in intra-mural volleyball. We will miss that friendly Hi, kid, that Mary gave out with so fre- quently. DOROTHY KANTNER Dot is one of the most sym- pathetic, understanding persons we have ever known. She enjoys helping others and constantly proves her friendship. We can't think of the commercial lab ex- isting without Dotty's serv- ices. Even though Dot is un- decided about her future, we feel sure that she will do her best. TWENTY-TH REE NEIL KEIHM Neil has a many-sided per- sonality-each side funnier and more humorous than the last. One never knows what to ex- pect from him, but whatever happens, it's bound to amuse us all. We can't help but remem- ber Neil as the Wit of the Class of '5O. THEROLD E. KESTON Bube played a hot French horn in the band . . . was the best swimmer on the Y team. Therold displayed the highest quality of leadership both in school and at our local Y. M. C. A. A'Bube never complained about all the work thrust upon him. He would like to become a naval officer. CHARLOTTE I. KLINGER Small, energetic, and as friend- ly as could be gives us a picture of Charlotte. She was always on the run, doing jobs for others and helping out where she was most needed. We will always remember this peppy gal and hope she never slows down her pace. BETTY IEAN KNAPPER UB. one of our peppy cheerleaders, yearns to become an airline hostess. Never quiet, Betty lean skipped through diffi- cult and easy situations alike. She is very athletic and partici- pates in every basketball and softball game. MB. is another one of the many good artists in the Class of '50. CAROL F. KNITTLE Carol possesses lovely wavy hair which make the less fortun- ate turn green with envy. A de- voted slave of Mrs. Deitrich, she lived for home ec. class. She spared no efforts where Y-Teens were concerned. We can well admire Carol, for she places good sportsmanship above all other virtues.

IOHN P. LEFFLER jack, with his very pleas- ing personality, ranks tops with the members of his class. He was a faithful member of the T. K. D., and contributed much to- ward the success of the Minuet. We are sure 'ijackn will obtain the best life has to offer. SHIRLEY ANN LOWTHERT A'Lot . . . one of our cuties . . . possesses a sweet, cheerful disposition. Her plans for next year are undecided, although her ambition is to be an X-ray technician. She was a valued asset to any activity in which she took part, especially the Home Ec. Club. If by some chance you hear Holy Cowl , it's just our gal, Shirl, coming down the hall. EMMA LOU LYNN Can you imagine Emmy Lou coming to class without her homework? An honor stu- dent, she never left a teacher down. She is kept busy with an aquarium when she isn't study- ing. She will become a medical technologist u p o n graduation from the University of Penn- sylvania. EMIL MAHALL 'AEm is one of those four- year T. K. D. boys, serving as secretary in his junior year and treasurer when a senior. He al- so has a record of four years on the Council. Popular, no? Em plays a fast game of bas- ketball . . . made a good-look- ing George Washington in the Minuet of '5O. ROSE MAIESKIE Capable leadership will take this all-around girl in leaps and bounds to her goal. A'Rosie made a good start in the busi- ness world with the efficiency she showed as Miss Critz's sec- retary. She needn't even bother with shorthand, for who would not jump at the chance of em- ploying such a highly decora- tive girl! TWENTY-FIVE LAUREL IANE MALEY Laurel's ambition in life is to be a private secretary, but her chief interest and pastime is singing. fWhy not follow that up, Lalee ?J She is one of Mr. Haviland's pride and joys . . . contributed a great deal to the HI-S-POTTS, Home EC.

We were all sorry that you did not stay with us to the end, but b5?t wishes from the Class of FRANK I. MARKO Fritz, a member of the ac- ademic class, will someday be a great business man . . . lent his talents to the art class and was always wide awake in English class. Fritz wouldn't miss a football game, and was always ready to play a game of basketball. He plans to enter P. M. C. to further his educa- tion. IOAN M. MARX Ioan, although seemingly very quiet, was a friend indeed. She was always ready to listen to our troubles and gave us all her sympathy. Ioanie must be of the more ambitious nature, 'cause she tells us she enjoyed hiking. We are proud to claim Ioanie as OUR friend.
