WILLIAM C. GEHRINGER Bill seemed most at home when roaming the basketball court, guarding the soccer goal, or hanging around first base. Although he was president of the Varsity Club, sports weren ' t his only interest. He served successfully as Class President during both his Junior and Senior years. We are sure he will be just as successful in whatever career he enters.

GEIGER Commercfal People with red hair are usually dubbed Red, and Jean was no exception. Although quiet in class, Jean ' s solid taps during volley- ball games were easily heard.

PAUL FISCHER Industrial Arts Fish, one of the shy members of our class, was always found with the guys. Although he was small, he was one of the standouts on our wrestling team. He could usually be found working on his Plymouth, which he runs in the drags. Paul ' s ambition is to be a tool and diemaker or mechanic. Band 1,2; Wrestling 4. PETER V. FRITSCH Academic Here comes our guy with the twinkle in his eye and the spring in his step. Why! ... It ' s Wictaah, who loves to dance anything from the Charleston to the Twist. Saturday nights usually finds Peter hoe- downing or ice skating with the gang. Peter excels in playing the piano and often entertained us during play practices. Also excellent in the art field, Peter plans to major in art at college. Class Play 3,4; Chorus 1; Class V. Pres. 1; German Club 1,3; Bio- geography 2; Tracer Staff 4, Ass. Editor. GERALDINE M. GAMLER Commercial Gerry was an active member of the F.H.A., and also its ardent treasurer because she was always counting the money. Her fondest dream was to go on an F.H.A. sponsored shopping trip.

NEIL J. HAMSHER Academic As president of the Student Council, N il did more than his share of Opening Exercises; and oh! -- how he nated missing school for those State Conventions. At other times he demonstrated an outstand- ing ability for playing basketball, baseball, and breaking ankles. We are sure that his winning personality will lead him to success both at college and afterwards.

ROBERT N. HEFFNER Industrial Arts Bob, our class flirt, was also one of the most sociable and friendly boys in our class. Long remembered for his participation and antics at class play practices, Bob ' s gregariousness often got him in trouble in P.O.D. Classes. An active member of the Glee Club and the Chorus, Bob plans to go into drafting or industrial arts after graduation.

HEIST Rabbi was usually heard before he was seen, because of his loud, spreading laughter. It was no small wonder that Rabbi was often the butt of jokes in class. Who wouldn ' t be? -- with a nickname like that. Because Sheldon was such a good sport it was with affection that we called him Rabbi. All of our best wishes go with Sheldon in whatever he plans to do. Baseball 3,4; Class Play 3; Photography Club 3; Tracer Staff 4. 25
