Those glasses that make him appear so “dignified” hide a friendly pair of twinkling brown eyes. “Harry” can swing a hot trumpet too, as anyone on the upper end of East Main Street can verify. As proof of Jerry’s leadership, he has been elected President of the Student Council. Also active in sports, he frequently helped boost the basketball scores for D. H. S. His dramatic ability has been displayed both in the Junior and Senior plays. Jerry has not yet decided upon what he will do after gradua- tion but we wish him every success in his choice. Flo Marjorie Snelbaker F. H. A. Club. 4; Art and Model Club. 1; Chorus. 1; Interclass Basketball. 3. ► Sweet and quiet in her manner, Flo is one of those capable girls in the Home Economics class. We hear that sewing is really a favorite pastime of Flo’s and we often envy the lovely results of her deft fingers. Flo spends her spare moments ice-skating, bike riding, painting, drawing and listening to popular music. We under- stand that Gershwin is a favorite composer. Besides her deep interest in her vocational subjects, Flo also enjoys English. Flo is undecided as to her future work, but we know that with her ability in using a needle and thread, her idle hours will be few. Many happy hours of sewing to you, Flo.

He also took an active part in track in his Junior year. Girls are “Chalk’s main pastime when he’s not on the basketball floor or working. Seriously, though, if a debate comes up in class, Charles is always ready to argue and usually with success. Charles isn’t too sure of what field he would like to enter after he graduates, ulthough we’ve heard him mention “law” at times. We feel confident that, whatever goal he undertakes, he will succeed. Eugene Elwood Snyder Band. 2. 3. 4; Interclass Basketball. 1. 2. 3: Baseball. 1. 2. 3. 4; Intcrclass Track. 3; Interscholastic. 3. ► Eugene rates among his many ’47 friends as one of the outstanding “flivver drivers” of the class. “Helvetian is not exactly a cowboy but he certainly can handle that Ford. He enjoys his favorite sport of baseball either as a player or spectator. “Helvetian” is also a hunter, which keeps him away from school every November 1st. His main interest concerns a certain Freshman girl with whom he is frequently seen. Eugene is musically talented for he really knows how to make a clarinet sing”! Although he has not decided as to what his life’s career will be, we feel certain that his choice will lead to success. 28

 Gladys Romaine Poff Chorus. 3. ► Gladys is the red-head of the class. Having followed the Commer- cial course throughout her high school career, Gladys can frequently be seen pounding the keys of a typewriter in the Commercial Room. Gladys, or Poff” ns she is generally called, is quite fond of the navy blue uniform, especially if a certain member of the Class of '46 is wearing it. Whenever English class becomes boring, and you hear the sound of bees buzzing, you know Gladys is entertaining her neighbors again. “Poff’s” future plans include the hope of being a secretary, with a young, handsome boss. We wish her hearty success in her chosen field.

Even over the week-ends, Jackie” is kept busy working behind a counter at McCrory’s but she also finds time for reading, going to the movies, and playing the piano. Jackie” has followed the Academic Course through high school. Undecided about the future, the Class of ’47 wishes her every success in whatever she does. Harriet Patricia Sechrist Student Council. 1; Reporter. 1; F. H. A. Club. 4. ► Harriet, one of the tall girls of the class, may seem quiet to those who do not know her very well, but she is really very talkative. Her hobby is collecting snapshots while her favorite pastime is dancing and she is certainly good at it. Harriet specializes in jitter- bugging. Seakie” spends her week-ends with her family in High Rock. Harriet and June are inseparable friends when it comes to making their special trips to Playland in that maroon convertible, especially when “Seakie” is behind the wheel.

Velma Mae Sechrist Beacon Staff. 4: Class Secretary. 2; Home Room President. 1. 2; Chorus. 1. 2. ► Although one of the more quiet girls of the class, Velma some- times indulges in pranks and then one can hear a hearty peal of laughter. Being a Commercial student, Velma is one of the able typists op. the “Beacon” staff. On her free evenings, Seakie” can frequently be found at Ness’s chatting with a certain fellow from Red Lion. Velma insists that ice-skating is her favorite sport, but when asked if she can skate, she replies, No, but I'm going to try it sometime.” Velma hopes to become a stenographer after she graduates and we wish her lots of good luck.

Lucille Anna Spangler Chorus. 1. 2. 3. -I; Beacon. 2. 3. 4; Class Treasurer. 1; Class Secretary. 4; Spectator Staff. 4; F. H. A. Club. 4. ► One of the brown-eyed “cuties” of the class is Lucille. If we suddenly hear one of the fellows let out a yelp, to be sure “Susie” has just pulled another prank (of course, just in defense). Her coquettish smile is irresistible and that low giRRle is really quite contagious. Lucille also indulges in reading, movies, the piano, and Icttcr-writng—oh, yes, and walking must not be forgotten, as Susie” walks the Yoe hill every day! After completing the Academic course, which she has so successfully pursued, Lucille wishes to become a nurse. Best wishes to your future career. “Susie.” William Henry Stein Senior Play. 4; Chorus. 4. ► Bill” or “Pickle,” as he is better known, is the smallest “man” of our class. His blonde curly hair is envied by all girls. When asked by one of the teachers how he keeps his curly locks his only answer was a “deep blush.” “Pickle” made quite a hit in his role in the Senior Play. Did you ever see such muscle on such a little man? Pickle has been a faithful follower of the Vocational course. He also is in doubt as to his future plans. We wish William the best of luck in whatever he may choose as his life work. Helen Louise Stump Chorus. 1. 2. 3; F. H. A. Club. 4; Secretary of F. H. A. Club. 4; Property Manager of Junior Play. 3. ► Helen or “Stumpie” as she is more frequently known, is one of the shortest members of our class. Her blushing ability is easily encouraged and registers like a thermometer on a hot summer day. Her favorite hobbies include reading, sewing, hiking and peddle pushing.” Helen is pursuing the Vocational course and is also a member of the F. H. A. Club. Her manner is that of a studious person. We assume her Domestic Arts accomplishments will make her a future kitchen queen.” The Class of ’47 extends their heartiest wishes for her success. Mary Louise Wesley Spectator Staff. 4; Prompter. 3. 4. ► One of the tallest girls in the class, Mary Lou upholds the idea of “dignified Seniors,” for no matter how noisy a class may become “Wesley can seldom be found talking. Mary is quite fond of debating, and she seems to be well versed in a great number of subjects. When anyone Rets stuck in a French translation, they always look to Mary for help and are seldom disappointed. “Wes- ley’s” favorite subjects include Physics, Chemistry and the mid- shipmen of Annapolis. Two of Mary’s favorite hobbies are reading and playing the piano. Her greatest ambition is to become a surgeon and with her progressive ability we know that she’ll be successful. 29
