He enjoys shooting on our rifle team, having fun with the fellows, and, of course, the com- pany of the opposite sex. We wish him success and good luck in his life's work. Josephine Witwer KCJO73 We once heard a young gentleman say, Some girls are smart and some girls are cute, but 'Jo' is both smart and cute. And he was a wise young gentleman. It is little wonder then, that Jo is so well liked. She is a typist-one of the best. We wish her lots of success. Robert Eugene Zwolly CLBOB77 'Bob has the type of talent for a drum- mer, that will go a long way. We know that if he sets foot in the musical world he will turn out to be the best swing drummer ever. But Bob, as we all know him, will probably forget the drumming and settle down to a quiet life on R. E. Zwally's Poul- try Farm, happily married to his . one and only interest, Mary. K . We l

. H ',- Cloisterette Ethel Moe Swortz HEFFIEH ' EHie', is the class canary. Her soprano voice did more than its share in making Tulip Time a success. She is a lover of music, and they tell me her secret passion is Nelson Eddy. Her hobbies are taking and developing pictures, and reading. She is a very studious little miss and her studying cer- tainly brings results. Akron can be proud of a girl like Effie Cf' 'i X . . lt what Esther E. Weinhold MESH A sweet country girl with a pleasant dis- position. Although she is an easy-going person, she never forgets to study. She always has a smile and a kind word for each of us. Lots of luck to Esther. Robert W. Weinhold CLARK', Clark, as he is known to the seniors, has become one of the Romeos of our class. His secret passions are forever haunt- ing him. He has become air-minded, and if eventually he becomes a transport pilot, we hope he will have the company of a beau- tiful stewardess similar to a certain sophomore.

p Cloisterette CLASS H lSTORY There was great excitement that September morning when we, the class of 1939, entered Ephrata High School. As freshmen-ninety of us-we had a great feeling of importance, but after a few days in E. H. S. we realized how unimportant we really were. Our class contributed its share to extra-curricu- lar activities-''Mountaineern Staff, Art Club, Orchestra, and Glee Club. We were proud to be represented on the Boys' Varsity Football team by Carl Bishop. Some of the girls participated in intramural basketball games. We returned the following year as sophomores with everything the same except our titles. This year brought our spacious auditorium and much- needed library. The majority of us returned for our junior year. Our first job was to elect class officers. The result: President, John Gudikunstg Vice President, Robert Kinchg Secretary, Dorothy Smith, Treasurer, Richard Goshert. Next, we se- lected our class colors-cherry and white-and caps and emblems. Upon the arrival of mid-year Robert Kinch assumed the duties of President, at which time Harold Mango became Vice President. The Juniors, at this time, with the aid of the Class of '38 and the Class of '40, promoted the first Christmas dance ever to be held in E. H. S. Following this event we formulated plans for the annual Junior Prom. The school gymnasium was artistically transformed into a modern ballroom. The decorations presented a musical theme. In the annual operetta The Mikado many of our number took part. We reached the final year of our high school course. By this time we had lost some members who started out with us as freshmen, but we also had gained new members who proved to be loyal classmates. We elected Richard Goshert, President, Clifford Balmer, Vice President, Carl lbach, Secretary, and Harold Baker, Treasurer. Some of our classmates occupied positions on the football team, captained by Harold Mango. In the Dramatic Club presentation of three one-act plays, many Seniors took active parts. The Seniors contributed their share to the operetta Tulip Time. As the school year drew to a close, we selected announcements, had our pictures taken, published the Cloisterette and prepared for Class Day, Quo Vadis, and Commencement, at which Mary Sprecher, Dorothy Smith, Audrey Hackman and Mary Jane Cooper were speakers.
