VIRGIL C. ABBOTT Secondary Virgie, the talented artist of our class, is a business man at heart. He was a member of Varsity S Club and Euclidean Clubg was vice- president and president of Art Club, and treas- urer of Nomad Club. Earnest and frankly out- spoken, Virgie was sought constantly to aid important class projects. As a senior, he was a member of the yearbook staff and manager of the varsity soccer team. IAMES MARSHALL AKENS Health Education lim, better known as Smokey, is a good-na- tured, easy-going fellow. Although he is inter- ested in several sports, baseball is his favorite. His no-hitter againt Bloomsburg during the l94U season definitely established his ability. Consid- ered big league material by baseball fans, Smokey also qualifies by being a good sport. His sense of humor and amiable disposition have pulled him out of many a tight spot. VIRGINIA S. ALTENDERFER Health Education Ginger is one of our top-ranking mental ma- chines. With her intelligence goes a magnetic personality which her very nick-name signifies. Scholastically, honored with membership in Kappa Delta Pi and optional class attendance, and socially, an extra-curricular participant in WAA and a member of the yearbook staff and important councils, this attractive miss can't be overlooked-and who would want to? IOHN A. ARCANGELO Secondary Mild, unassuming, but companionable, Iohn has entrenched himself in the hearts of his fel- low-classmates. By his loyalty and diligence, he has contributed his bit to the class of '4l. His extra-curricular activities have been expressed through the medium of Science and Nomad Clubs. Iohn showed strong interest and enthusi- asm in intra-mural sports, and played on the intra-mural basketball and baseball teams.

At the fall elections we had chosen Clinton Roberts, Peter Ottone, Willard Funk, and Iohn Havel to capably guide our class. Later in the term we elected Ellen lane Brundage and John Havel to edit and manage The l94l Stroud. An honor to us as Well as to her, Miss Kistler was selected by the adminis- tration to be permanent yearbook adviser. Our Iunior Prom was at Buck Hill Falls lnn in May. Book lV-Serious Work Ahead. As seniors we all looked eagerly forward to practice teaching, Commencement, and the all-important job. Near the end of September we were all grief-stricken by the sudden, serious illness of our versatile, well-liked senior classmate, Tom Strunk. To us all, Tom will always be a member of the Class of '41, For the third time we elected Clinton Roberts president of our class. Peter Ottone as vice-president, and Iohn Havel MISS RUTH B. KISTLER as treasurer were serving their fourth terms. Our senior secre- tary was Myrtle Hopson. Under the experienced direction of Bernard Fairfax, we produced Pulling the Curtain. Chiefly through the work of co-managers, Harry Lauer and Ioe Boyle, the play was a huge financial success. Many of our senior athletes closed their careers on cham- pionship teams. Our year ended, of course, with the Senior Prom and Commencement. Postscript: Our cooperative spirit, scholastic ability, and athletic prowess have carried us proudly to the end of the line. Though the years have decreased our numbers, we have tried to atone for that lack by our enterprise and group loyalty. 25

LLOYD ARMITAGE Secondary Neither radical nor conservative, Lloyd has maintained a middle course while at ESSTC. His quietness fools many of us, for under that dor- mant exterior lie brains which his scholastic record and his membership in Kappa Delta Pi can testify. He has been an active member of Nomad Club and Clio Society. Many boast of having the genial and kindly Lloyd on their friendship list. MARY LOUISE BEATTY Health Education Louise's happy smile and infectious laugh have brightened many a dull moment. Outside interests took Louise away often but did not slow her progress in class Work or in extra-cur- ricular activities. She served on the Athletic Council in her senior year, and her participation in WAA, Mask and Zany, intra-murals and VCII- sity basketball mark her as an outstanding mem- ber of her class. GARNET FERN BENNER Health Education Carefree and happy-go-lucky, Garry is one of our most pleasant classmates. Her sense of humor is matchless. An active member of Mask and Zany and WAA, Garnet has also served efficiently on the jayvee basketball squad. She contributed generously to intra-murals of her skill and good sportsmanship. Her support of class activities has been active and loyal. IOSEPH DENNIS BOYLE Secondary Ioe's Work as vice-president and member of the executive council of Mask and Zany, co- manager of our senior play, and member of the Stroud staff is proof of his steady efficiency. Ex- celling in drarnatics, Ioe took part in many plays and starred in the senior class play. He also participated in intra-mural sports. Ioe's ready smile and dry humor have won him a host of friends.
