EVELYN KEIM One of the peppiest and most cheerful girls in the class who wants to be a second Florence Nightingale. Of her success we have no doubt for Evelyn always finish«-s any project she starts. As an alto singer this young lady has contributed much to the chorus. As a member of The Block” staff Evelyn gave much time and effort to the Dedicatory page. Her in- terests out of school, we hear, are centered on a certain East Saxton man. What do you say. Evelyn will the career come first???? MARGARET MANSPEAKER “Peggy” A girl who could steal any heart, anywhere, applies to Peggy , for she has plenty of friends. The Sextette and Band are her main school interests, and she works hard at both of them. She is especially partial to the Army; much of her time is spent in correspondence. In her spare time as an employee at Ross's she slings a mean Ham- burg and soda, or whatever you wish. Her future plans are unde- cided. ORISON MELLOTT •‘Junior Always willing, always ready, al- ways on the beam, that's Junior He p ays an important part in our school as a taxi driver , even though he is sometimes tardy. A certain Sophomore is his delight. He hop.?s to be an engineer, and we know he will make good. THELMA MILLER “Liz” The Pennsylvania girl from Illi- nois Valley. Thelma seems very quiet until you know her. Ask her what her favorite colors are, and the answer would probably be Red and Black make a good combination. Thelma has as her chief ambition a desire to be pri- vate secretary to some business man. Who knows? Whatever she does the c’ass bets on Miller. CHARLES LYNN “Chuck” The boy with the grin who goes for June” like sin. It’s a ryhme, but right on time. Nevertheless, everyone likes Chuck . His ability is expressed by hard work, selling and digging. Draws in his spare time—a real artist. LORENZO MECK Pap The blonde blue-eyed lad who really goes in for sports, especially basketball, where he has shown his ability for three years. If the Ma- rines don’t get him first. “Pap expects to enter a trade school. He- is seen quite often at a certain restaurant at Six Mile Run. Of course we don’t know why. Seems to have a second interest in his motor cycle. Watch out Pap . Donna will get jealous. NED MILLER The gentleman farmer with the sweetest lisp from Woodcock Valley. Ned’s chief interest besides farm- ing is Reed” work and we don’t mean furniture. Just give him the girl, the car. and the time, and Oh Boy! Watch Ned travel. MARTHA LCU MORELAND Mart” Still water runs deep , and this is true of Martha. She possesses a sweet personality and plenty of good business ability. Mart” should go far upon some career. As one of the assistant editors of he Saxton News , we expect to hear of her editing a New' York Paper” before long. TWENTY-FOUR

JOSEPH III NISH Jo Jot is one of the young men that hails from the vicinity of “Happy Hollow”. This might be one reason for his unusual happy and cheerful disposition. His main cronies are Hoover. Clawson and Troutman— and how these boys travel. Es- pecially to and from Round Knob. Joe comes from a farmer family and when question as to the fu- ture was vague but didn’t believe he would follow that profession. DORIS HINKLE “Lee” The only twin in the class and yet you would never know it. Strange to say she doesn’t even look like her twin sister. Doris is in- terested in many things and especi- ally likes to sing and dance. In school her extra activity is the chorus. Out of school- a returned G. I. in the form of an Irshman monopolizes much of her spare time. When Jimmy’s out of town you will find Doris at the new diner. A swell attraction for customers we’d say. WILDA HOOVER Pinky” When ever you hear dry humor in the business class, look sharp and you’ll know it comes from Wilda. Efficient in both typing and dic- tation. Wilda should be an excellent secretary to some mining executive —whether he lives in Six Mile Run. Defiance, or even Woodcock Valley. Talented in music we anticipate be- fore long Wilda will be playing while some fellow dances. “Pinky” has been very generous with her offerings of baritone music for as- sembly and many special programs. We wish you lots of luck Wilda 1 EVAN JENKINS Jinx Wherever you look, that ball of fire you see is Jinx”, possessing fiery rod hair, blue eyes, nnd a peppy disposition. . . Jinx” is one of the popular boys in the school His accomplishments are: Student Council President. Varsity Basket- ball. Class President one year, and many other worthwhile activities of the school. A real S. L. Rooter. RUTH HINISH Ruth has many friends and just as many accomplishments. Whe- ther it be playing a typewriter or beating a bass drum. Ruth is al- ways able to excell at both. When consulted ns to h« r future. “Hinish” thinks Robertsdale is a fine little city and would be an ideal location to take up the art of Home-Making. Evidently their is someone who has been willing to accept the proposi- tion. Time will tell. BETTY HELWIG A new comer this year, who hails from William Penn High. Harris- burg. Her main interest is in stringed instruments, and she always demands that the piano be in tune with the particular instrument she is playing. A “whiz” in Sales- manship. we are sure she will sell herself in whatever vocation she chooses. GERALD HUFF “Toots” A quiet unobtrusive boy not easily scared by the girls, as evidence in being the only boy in the short- hand class. Proof of this is not in the pudding, but by his marks. Who is his girl?? We’ll lea%'e that up to you for discovery—and Gerald won’t tell MARGARET KE1M “Maggie Do the bright lights dazzle you in English class ? If so it’s the sun shining on the sparkler that Maggie” is wearing on her third finger of the left hand. “Maggie” commands the classics, chorus, and Home. Ec. Which gives her a well rounded program which should be useful in later life. She readily admits wedding bells will be ring- ing shortly and we think Gene is a lucky guy. Her sister. Evelyn, will visit her in the Buckeye State where she will take up the art of homemaking. TWENTY-THREE

JIMMIE MORT “Jimmie” Do you know that laugh ? Yes. it belongs to Jimmy. Where he bought it no one knows. He wants to be a mechanic, but seems to be interested in farming near New Enterprise at the present. He can make a joke out of anything, and usually does. Come now. James. COLLEEN McCAHAN “Colly” This winsome member of the class has one ambition to be an Air Hostess. She will enter Allegheny General Hospital. Pittsburgh, as the first step toward realization of her dreams. Possessing a fine per sonality. lots of pep. and plenty of energy. Colleen will do what sht determines. Her additional interest is athletics, especially basketball. Could it be she has an interest ii. the team? If so. we’re up in the ail as to her future. FRANCES McINTYRE “Franny” “Franny” is one of our quiet girls but at times also full of pep. Her one asset is wiggling her fingers on the piano and she really makes it sound. She plans to enter col- lege next year and says that it is her soul interest. What a sharp! Is she kidding us? BETTY OAKES “Betts” One of the tallest gir's in the class. Betty’s chief interest is that of Home Economics. “Betts” is always willing to cooperate. She has loads of friends and plenty o; school spirit. Her chief desire is to emulate her sister who has been serving in the Waves. Betty is fond of dotation as long as it’s in Shorthand C’ass. which class she espccia’ly likes. As to the future this young lady is vague, but we’re betting it will be someone’s steno- grapher. SHIRLEY MOSEL “Shirl” A quiet blonde, little and thin, but Oh My! She hails from Sax- ton and readily admits an extreme fondness for movies and good books. !s anxious to become a secretary and hopes to work in Washington. P.umor insist she is helping to re- vnbi tate an ex-G. I. If so. from n observation she is doing a good job. GEORGE McCAVITT “George” The Lone-Wolf from Six Mile Run. Some fellows say he’s a woman-hater, but we don’t believe it. George is an artist of unusual ability as evidenced by this book. Being the silent typ he has kept his future a secret. However we are sure that his ability cannot be concealed and ere-long McCavitt’s drawings will be nationwide in seep?. VIVIAN McINTYRE “Jo” Like the rest of us Jo has her ups and downs, but manages to come smring through. As for in- terests. it is mostly her collection of Victor records, which is kept up to date. She also plans college in the future specializing in lan- guages. Jo’s” greatest trouble is getting the De Sota started and she h- pe? someone wiP invent a car tha». will have Room for One More.

Her big ambit:on is to work in Washington. D. C. with Dor:s. her sister. If so. Uncle Sam can be sure that when Rnnk:n does a thing, it will be done r'ght. TWENTY-FIVE
