A decided blond, Marty is one member of the Senior class who really knows his Mathematics. We thought at first we might have a future Math teacher, but it seems Marty has other plans! Marty was born in New Holland, February 27, 1925, and entered our group in fourth grade. Up until then the class lack- ed something and Marty proved to be that something, and im- mediately became a friend to all. We'll never forget his fine work on the Varsity basketball squad. Many a time he slipped in a trickly field goal to make it tough going for the opposing team. Remember a handsome lad named Eddie in our Senior play? Well, that was our Marty, and an excellent job he did, too. Marty likes movies and more movies, and in his leisure time can be seen hitch-hiking to Lancaster with a gang to take in a show. Wherever you go after graduation, remember, our luck and the best of everything goes with you. MILDRED ARLENE WEAVER Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 43 9 Basketball 123 5 Operetta 123. Mi1ly,', who is the blonde of our class, was born September 9, 1924, in New Holland, is one of the most industrious people we know. Not only does she take care of the larger part of the school's secretarial work, but is a constant source of authority in office practice. She must live up to the old adage, Silence is Golden, be- cause never a word is uttered during class time, which only goes to show you what an excellent student she is. It's an established fact that blondes usually crave the op- posite sex, but here's one girl who doesn't bother in the least about any one of them. We guess she figures that there is plenty of time for that. Mildred is devoted to her studies and when the rest of us are complaining, she just smiles and makes the best of it. Although not active in sports, Milly is an ardent rooter at all soccer, track and basketball games. Good luck in your chosen field, Mildred, we're going to miss you! ELRAY WEIDMAN, JR. Basketball 1133 Baseball 13, 433 Basketball Man- ager 1333 Senior Play Electrician 143. A deep silence fills the room! Everyone's breathlessly awaiting the teacher's next move! Suddenly from out of no- where a jolly laugh issues forth. Aha! the guilty one is found, and it's none other than our old friend, Chick. Besides studies, which Chick sometimes considers boring, he finds relaxation by working in one of our local stores. Come on, fellow, get that ball here, what's holding you up? This little phrase is just one that Chick can be heard shouting behind home plate while he's doing an excellent job as the team's number one catcher. Elray, who was born September 15, 1923, never seems to let studies bother him, and even though work might pile up one week, he is one that does not slip up in his studies. Success in life is yours for the asking, Chick, and maybe some day you might be manager of a large retail store. Page Eighteen

One of the Jackson Street gang, she is thoroughly versed 1as many from that section of town are1 in Commercial work. Betty was born at Hinkletown, June 24, 1924. Last summer Betty made a big step toward her first million when she tested silk for our parachute troops at the local silk mill. Proud as a peacock of her brother, and rightly so. Most of us hear very quickly how many chevrons he has lately received from Uncle Sam's cavalry. Betty likes to joke, but no one takes her very seriously. She played the part of a fussy society matron in our Senior Play, and for her characterization came many laughs and congratu- lations. Between times, while not working on N. Y. A., study- ing or tooting her melophone, Betty is usually found pondering on what to make for supper. Speed and accuracy to those fingers, Stief . . . you'll make a swell secretary.

Want to know anything about shorthand? Just ask Kath- ryn, for she's a Whiz at that stuH'. Yes, you've guessed it, she wants to be a secretary. And have you seen those swell field goals on the basketball fioor? Well, it's none other than Kathryn, our star varsity forward. Kate was given a cheery disposition when she was born September 14, 1924, in New Holland, and this is one of the qualities that makes Kathryn so efficient in her school cur- riculum. Her favorite motto might be never let it be said that it can't be done because this first honor student is not one to start a job and not finish it. Her typing has been appreciated very much by the T. C. N. staff, because without her, many an edition would never have been out on time. Whenever there is a good time to be had, you're almost always sure to find Kathryn sharing in the fun, and accompanied by a very characteristic giggle by which all of us know her. That's Kathryn.

Better known as Mike this always smiling brunette lad was born October 25, 1924, in good old New Holland. Although New Holland High School is now Mike's' Alma Mater, Upper Leacock claimed him as a student during his early high school days. We're certainly sure of one thing, the baseball team will definitely miss a good fielder for Mike proved his ability by taking baseball seriously. A class room may be ever so quiet, but just let someone slip in a bit of witticism, and Mike is right in there with his hearty laugh. Our thanks to one who appreciates our class's subtle type of humor. Mike has not had to lose any time for the attractions for the opposite sex, because if there is a less interested boy when it comes to girls, we fail to remember whom. Although Waid is undecided about the future, we do know that here's one lad that will make his old Alma Mater proud to have schooled a boy like him. , Page Seven teen

Scoop, with the unruly blonde hair, just bubbles over with vim and vitality. Take it from us, there's never a dull moment when Scoop's in the crowd, and it is usually Evers who breaks the silence of a study period. However, when calmed down, ho can do his studies quite eliiciently. Mr. Scoop is the senior class's best debater and extempor- aneous speaker and we, his classmates, all know that to argue with him is just a waste of time, because you're always sure to lose out anyway. He is not one to let a good friend down, and will do any- thing in his power to help. This is one reason why Scoop is regarded as a friend to all his classmates. Oh, and by the way, 'lScoop's favorite pastime fbesides his studies and the Press car, alias the Ford1 is fishing, rep- tile charming, and acquiring an arsenal of .22 calibre rifles. Did you know that Evers was born November 20, 1924, and hails from the capital of our state, Harrisburg? 1 The Class of '42 in Rhyme WW? School days, school days, dear old golden rule days- Those lines are oldg they've been used before, But it won't hurt to use them just this once more. Reading, and writing and 'rithmetic- And please don't forget the hickory stick- To hear this song makes us . . . oh, so blue- 'Cause we're the class of '42. School days are gone, school days are over- We've left forever the fields of clover. But in our memory there'll always be traces- Of well-known voices and well-known faces. There's our Babs . . . the glamorous blonde, And the jolly, effervescent Dunn. Who'll ever forget Mick who daily trekked Down to the house where lived his Knecht? And there's that irrepressible group Composed of Chet, and Lech, Marty, and Scoop From Goodville comes Clara, the little mite And Hazel, our bundle of dynamite. fRuby and Jim, our inseparable pair-f And Louise, happy-go-lucky with nary a care. There's Speed and Obie . . . Franklin Waid All of whom will drive any car ever made. From Jackson Street come Betty and Ren - On the way to school they'd pick up Ham. We mustn't forget that Blue Ball boy- N one other than our own Leroy. And Mil and Kate . . . two girls that alw ys stick. Likewise for Blaine and his good friend Chic Ethel is our studious gal Who at N. H. H. S. has many a pal. 'Ruthie is our nurse to be- And one all right guy is Earl Eaby. That's twenty-seven of twenty-eight- And the other one just doesn't rate Exclusion to him will have no sting- 'Cause he's the guy who wrote this thing! 7 a k -Leo Grant Page Nineteen
