GORDON DUPUIS Gordon, the rather shy and quiet member of our class, is one who will long be remembered for his prodigious amount of gray matter and his intellectual air. His deep set blue eyes give him that look of complete assurance that will add much to his success in the future. P 66KIM Chasers iY SWEATERS THOMAS GORRELL A versatile, ambitious ’49’er, that’s “Maxie.” Tireless editor of our highly successful Athenian, Tom is an all-right Joe, always ready to lend a helping hand. Besides being our promising valedictorian and a fighting Bulldog, he is soon destined to replace Charlie Spivak. A future mechanical engineer, Tom plans to attend Penn State. Valedictorian of 1953? Could be I ROBERT EIFFERT Bob is one of the quiet, more reserved members of our class, but whenever a good time is in sight, he’s a ring leader. It is said that those who drive fastest past a school go through it the slowest, but we all know this does not mean Bob. After graduation he is going to continue farming. BETTY FISK Skating, dancing, piano playing, and horse back riding seem to be favorite pastimes of this attractive, dark haired girl. Besides all these, Betty found time to be on hand for all band activities to carry the Athens Banner. We all wish you the best of luck as you go forth to your secretarial work, Betty. 29

GEORGE CORL ANNE COVENEY Anne participates in many of the extra-curricular activities in A. H. S. She is a good Irishman who likes nothing better than a fiery debate. Since she is talented and interested in art and mechanical drawing, we’re sure that she has a great future in store. That hearty laugh booming out of 215 is undoubtedly George’s. A mainstay on the football and basketball teams in the past two years, he still finds time to participate in dramatics. A member of many organizations, George is always on the go, but his ready smile has made him one of the most popular boys in the senior class. ARLENE DUNBAR “Eenie, ” our drummer girl, has snapping brown eyes and a lighthearted way that portray her personality. Arlene is seen at every game whether basketball, football, or baseball, cheering for a certain someone. Those pretty hankies she always carries are her own handiwork. We wish the best to a wonderful girl whom we’ll always remember. GERALDINE DUNBAR Gerry is the other half of the Dunbar “49’s.” A hard-working individual, she is well known for her dramatic ability and active interest in Home Ec. and the Domecon Club. Gerry’s attractiveness, conscientious attitude and congenial manner have made her one popular gal. Best wishes for the future from the senior class, Gerry. 28

Her friendly winning attitude will help make her successful in any chosen career. ARLENE HARRIS “Hess!” “You’ve just got to let me check my Bookkeeping with yours!” With an understanding and sympathetic smile, Hessy passes the well-worn workbook. Because of her generosity and genuine interest in everything, Hessy has many friends, and much of her time is spent collecting their photographs. Secretarial work in Binghamton is in the bright future. VANCE HINKSON Vance, a future business executive is one of the very few who came up all the way from kindergarten at A. H. S. Hailing from the “Solid South” (S. Main Street, that is) he hopes in later life to become a politician. Because of his quiet convincing manner, we are sure he will attain his goal. HAMPTON HUFF “Bud” is one boy in the class whom everyone looks up to! Jokes and dates seem to be his favorite hobbies; his main vocational interest is in radio announcing. During the past two years he has had the reputation of being an excellent football manager. We all wish him luck in the future. 30
