Kenneth Sandoe H Class Flower-American Beauty Rose Class Colors-Steel Gray and Maroon E55 Semovs CLASS PROP:-IECY Ephrata, Pennsylvania ' october 20, 1951 Dear Diary, After spending exactly one day in my old home town, I discovered that everything has changed-the people, the habits, and even the mode of living. Ephrata has a city-manager now. You can't imagine who he is. Abe Leaman. Mentioning Abe reminds me that I have seen almost all of my 1941 classmates. This morning I had a little spare time so I drove to Clay to see Charlie Kreider and Howard Eckhart. Charlie is a Buick dealer in that thriving town. He is kept busy fixing the cars Howard smashes. Howard has taken over his father's lumber business. I asked him what Reed Doster is doing and he told me that Sonny', is an illustrator for Wild and Wooly Westerns, a magazine published by the firm of Edwards, Erb and Fahnestock, Inc. While I was talk- ing' with Howard, Lester Messner came in to order lumber for an addition to Messner's Emporium at Durlach. I learned that Harry Fry is the carpenter in charge of the new building, and that Eugene Lied, who lives in Mohnton, has the plumbing contract. Lloyd Behmer is a Notary Public and insurance agent, I saw his adver- tisement as I came through Lincoln. After returning to Ephrata, I went directly to the Lily Pad Tearoom, which is operated by Lillian Adams. Two of the waitresses in charge were Dot Lied and Anna Jane Zwally. On going out, I discovered the cashier to be Goldie Kupp, who is engaged to Charles Fellenbaum. Outside I met Bob Ream and Bob Beck. Ream is a captain in the Navy and Beck is a profes- sional fireman. Next I decided to search out a few of my other school pals. I found Helen Eberly at the Community Hospital, conversing with her sister-nurses, Beata Butzer and Vera Martin. Presently, Louise Bearinger, the head dieti- cian, and Walter Fabian, the head surgeon, came along with Jean Herr, who at present is the directress of Miss Herr's School for Girls. On leaving the hospital, I met Jean Buch, proudly escorted by her handsome fiance, Don Johnson. As I walked along Main Street, I noticed a modernistic building bearing the sign 'gBernard Shore, Art Photographer. As I passed, Betty Kochel, the glamorous model, entered the building. I learned later that Dot Donmoyer is also employed there and that Bette Donecker is Bernie's private secretary. The next thing which attracted my attention was a swanky place call- ed t'Louise's School of Beauty Culture, directed by Louise Mann, with Vena Enck, Mabel Minnich and Arlene Wenrich as assistants. The Sand Theatrei' came into View next. There I saw Kenn Sandoe approving the marquee, which advertised the appearance of Marvin B. QBurk- holderj Evans in Macbeth.,' I I I x The Gymnasium next caught my eye. Inside I met Norma Constan- tine and Jo Lutz, who are the operators of Ephrata's exclusive gym for wo- men. After that, I found a shop featuring beautifully furnished rooms. The signs on the window said, J une Hummer, Interior Decorator. Farther down the street I saw a shop, Taylor the Tailor, and I realized that Dick Taylor was the proprietor. I met John Horst, a wealthy banker, on his way out. In Cooper's Coop, a cozy little tearoom managed by Miss Fern Cooper, I found Annabelle Buck and Mary Burkhart, who, I soon learned, are secre- taries to the city-manager. Klothes by Kathryn was the next point of interest. Inside this shop I found Katie Gehr busily engaged in the art of making a sale to Eleanor Ger- hard, the dazzling columnist for the Ephrata Ballyhoof' Shy Evelyn Hen- sel, the bookkeeper, smiled when I greeted her. Ruthe Burkhart was com- plaining about a gown she had purchased. She said it didn't please the pupils at her dancing school. Eddie Keller has taken over his father's business with Henry Kramer as chief mechanic and Richard Adams as bookkeeper. While I was at Kel- ler's, Clair Hurst brought in a grocery truck for repairs. He has established a bakery here with the financial aid of George Gehr. About four o'clock this afternoon the whole city turned out to welcome home its conquering hero, Milt Jacoby, who was so instrumental in the Cardin- als' winning the National League pennant and the World's Series. As fate would have it, I chanced to see Herb Fasnacht as he was going to the Ephrata Municipal Airport. He informed me that Marion Roussey is an air-line hostess on a large transcontinental plane. With Herb was Leo Snader, the great promoter of Diesel engines. As I walked past the elementary school, I decided to look around and learn who some of the teachers were. Lo and behold, there were Nannette Reddig and Irene Willwerth teaching future graduates of E. H. S. From them I learned that Stanley Stief has become principal of the city schools, and that Betty Baringer has become the supervisor of music. In addition, I learned that Jacob Fry is a professor of Latin at Cloister College. By and by I visited the large business establishments of Morrow and Sweigart, manufacturers of wooden toys. In the office I found Helen Miller, Helen Mohn, Kathleen Stover, Marion Rupp and Dorothy Reddig, all busy typing letters. Galen Sweigart's private secretary is Betty Overholser and Betty Jane Wolf is her assistant. Margaret Stoner is the charming recep- tionist. This evening I attended the first concert of the year, given by the Eph- rata Symphony Orchestra, Edward Hackeritsky conducting. Harry Henly is the violin soloist. It was a very inspiring program. After a day of meeting all my dear classmates once more, dear diary, can you possibly understand how happy I am? The Class of 1941 certainly has not lost its friendly spirit, l'm so glad to be one of them. Sleepy Suzy. -U 9 E- 3 Lillian N. Adams Lillian is a quiet, serious girl with a pleasing personality, golden hair and a sunny smile. She is sincere, stud- ious and certainly a grand friend to everyone. Lillian likes reading and sew- ing, and we're sure she'll succeed in any- thing she undertakes for she is one of the most ambitious members of the class. C. Richard Adams Dick has been one of the newsboys in our school for many years and is usually seen either on his bicycle, or selling pro- duce at the Green Dragon. One of the less violent members of the class never- theless, Dick can make himself heard, if necessary. A great sports enthusiast, he will make a name for himself in the busi- ness world, without a doubt. Betty Mae Baringer Betty has been with us for twelve years and has thrilled everyone with her lovely voice. She has been a studious pupil and has what you call an encyclo- pedic mind. She is jolly, and full of vim, vigor, and vitality. Bettyis chief delights are dramatics and good music. Surely her career as a music teacher will be a successful one. -D 10 E.. Virginio Louise Beoririger Louise has a million and one interests in life--among them: music, art, dramat- ics, home economics, and incidentally, boys' varsity basketball. Yet she is never too preoccupied to listen to your personal calamities and offer sincere sympathy. In addition, a laudable scholastic record and an unfailing sense of humor insure Louise the attainment of any star for which she reaches. Lloyd I-I. Behmer Lloyd is one of the shyest boys in our class, but those who know him find him a valuable friend. His blush will always be remembered as an outstand- ing trait . . . Lloyd would not be complete without it. Our class just needed some- one like him to make it complete. Best of luck to a tonsorial artist! Robert F. Beck Robert, one of the red heads of the senior group, has represented our class in such extra-curricular activities as foot- ball, basketball, and the Mixed Chorus. There's never a dull moment when Red is around-and his clever side remarks have left an impression on everyone. Lots of luck to you, Red. Annabelle Marie Buck Noted for her generosity, Annabelle has won a definite place in our hearts. Her gay laughter can be heard from day to day within the halls of Ephrata High. Shels always ready to listen to the prob- lems of friends and lend a helping hand. If Annabelle continues her cheerful atti- tude, she wonit fail in anything she at- tempts. Jean Vivian Buch A little bit of heaven with shining black hair and large brown eyes, came falling into our midst one misty Septem- ber morning. Ever since, we likelmisty mornings and people from Lincoln, es- pecially this person. In fact Jean, the answer to any man's dreams, is a living reason why Stephen Foster should have written Jeannie with the Coal Black Hairf, Mary Elizabeth Burkhart Through twelve years of school ev- erybody has respected and liked Mary. She is quiet and studious but under- neath her calm exterior lies a sense of humor. Her favorite hobbies are read- ing and drawing scenery. After gradu- ation she expects to do secretarial work and we know she will be successful. -lj 12 lj- Ruthe Noomi Burkho rt Ruthe is one of the girls of our class who borders on the quiet side. However, her ability to jitterbug has attracted much attention and has made many an Ephrata girl and boy envious. May your future years be as successful as your years at E. H. S. have been, Ruthe! Beoto Jone Butzer Beata is one of the more quiet girls of the class. She has always had excel- lent marks in her school work. She prob- ably will some day be a second Florence Nightingale, for she wishes to become a nurse. We all feel she will reach the top in this, her chosen profession. Good luck, Beata! Morvin Burkholder Turk is known to us as a fellow student and also as the clerk who has sold us ice cream for several years. His en- gaging smile and affability have won him innumerable friends. Marvin is usually one of the instigators of those shouts of laughter heard resounding through the halls from the senior boys' lockers. Best of luck, Turk! ,...., . -w t Norma H. Constantine Come on team, let's go! All of us have heard Norma yell this many times. Without her excellent cheerleading ability and school spirit, our basketball and football teams would have been at a complete loss. Here's giving three hearty cheers for your success, Nor- ma. You've got what it takes. -Ei Milton Constantine Meek has always been recognized as an outstanding athlete of Ephrata High. His good sportsmanship and generosity have won many friends for him. Al- though on the surface, Meek appears very stern, he has a very tender heart where his friends are concerned. Good luck to Meckg may your success continue and your happiness be assured. Fern Irene Cooper Fern is a quiet, unassuming per- son who takes things just as they come. She came to our class from Murrell four years ago, but only last year we learned that her favorite pastime is letter writing -not to the opposite sex but about the opposite sex. Good luck in whatever you undertake, Fern. 14 rj- f Bette M. Donecker Something special to type? Bette will do it. She is always ready, willing, and able to give the best she can offer. Besides this, she is graced with the most beautiful eyes in the class. With all her ability she is sure to reach her 1ife's am- bition as somebody's stenographer. N. Reed Doster Dos's intellect and ability have made him one of the best-liked members of our class. Also, he has one of the biggest hearts in the class, being ready to help a friend in need at any time. He is usually seen ambling aimlessly through the halls or planning trickery with Turk and Don. To this dark-haired Romeo we say, Best of luck in whatever you may doll' Dorothy Elizobeth Donmoyer Beautiful dark hair and dark eyes are two of Dottie's assets. Although Dottie has been with us for only two years, her constant chattering and friendly manner have endeared her to the class of 1941. Keep talking, Dottie, and some day you will talk your way into success. I-lowcarcl D. Eckhart Howard is the good-looking fellow who came to us from Clay. He has left many a feminine heart a-flutter. He is usually seen playing pranks on someone, but, although usually jovial, he has his serious moments when he really gets down to work. In his senior year he was president of the Rifle Club. Good luck, Howard, you'll succeed. Helen Solome Eberly Helen is one of our exceptionally good singers, who will never be forgotten as Lady Marion in Robin Hood, al- though she has shone in many other ac- tivities since. She is very lively and in- dustrious, never failing in her practice of Smile and the world smiles with you. Nursing and Dick need people like you Helen . . . lots of luck! Luther J. Eclwclrcls Luther is the hard-working fellow who came to us from a country school. He is a handsome farm boy-of which there are many in our school. He is a fine guitar player and played with the Schoeneck Mountaineers. His pleasant way and sympathetic manner make him a great friend. He'll surely attain success in whatever profession he may choose. Veno Enck You could describe Vena in a hun- dred ways-quiet, shy, reserved, unas- suming. You could tell of her pug nose, her dimples or her beautiful hair. She's an excellent commercial student too, but when it's all said and done it sounds fool- ish to say anything but those three little words that seem to have been made for Vena, Sweet and demuref, 1 2 Wolter A. Fobiorm Walter Fabian . . . Painless Dentist . . . this is what Walter expects to be see- ing in the future, for he hopes to become a tooth specialist. In spite of his small stature, Walter has an enormous sense of humor, which generally can be observ- ed in the classrooms. Best wishes, Wal- ter, for your future success. Arthur Erb Texas Tinyl' is the able bass fiddle player and soloist of the Schoeneck Mountaineers. Without Tex, school would have been a comparatively dry place. His perpetual smile is a constant inspiration to all of us. He can be seen frequently driving around in a flivver of rare make and vintage. With all his good-natured characteristics and jolly personality, he's bound to get ahead. Herbert Fosnocht A great rifleman, cartoonist, and avi- ation enthusiast . . . this describes Her- bert. He was not only the best shot on the rifle team, but was also the ablest cartoonist 'Frata High has had in a long time. He knows more about airplanes than any other person in the school. He is sure to achieve success in whatever he tries. Happy landings, Herbert. , ,, . H , -Q 18 Golerm B. Fohnestock F1orida's gift to the senior class . . . this is a good description of Galen, one of the better students of the class. He is a quiet fellow who never talked in class unless spoken to, but when called upon, usually had the right answer. He is a sure bet to succeed in whatever he tries. Harry Fry Harry is decidedly one of the silent Q75 men in the class, but is better known for the groans he puts forth when called upon in his classes. He is usually seen in the company of his father, doing car- pentry work or farming. If he is as good at farming as he is at sleeping, he's bound to succeed. E.. Jocob Fry Jake came to Ephrata High as a shy farmer boy, but with a curiosity equalled by none. This curiosity has given us many experiences, happy and sad, to remember. Jacob hopes to go in- to farming in a big way, and we are sure that with all his knowledge and ambition he will be a successful farmer. Kathryn V. Gehr Every day Kathryn can be seen jour- neying from the nearby hamlet, Hinkle- town, to attend E. H. S.. She is a tall, striking blond and without her the class would not be complete. Her jovial laugh- ter, witty remarks and entertaining per- sonality have made Kathryn one of our sparkling personalities, and we will re- member her always. George S. Gehr George, one of the well-dressed mem- bers of the class, hails from Hinkletown. Not only is he a proficient shorthand student, but he is sincere, soft-spoken and always willing to help a friend. Whether he follows in his father's footsteps or se- lects another profession, his sense of fair play and determination are sure to make him a success. -43 19 lj- . J. Edward I-locker E. H. S. will lose its best trumpeter when this lad leaves. Besides being mu- sical, Edward is also noted for doing ten things at once and doing them well. He has faithfully served as president of the class of 1941 and the Hi-Y, not to mention his achievements as editor of the '4Moun- taincerf' Success will follow him in Whatever he may do. Eleanor L. Gerhard Intelligence, ability, personality and wit, even Webster himself would run out of words to describe Tuffy, one of the best-liked girls in the class of 1941. All these qualities combined will make her a first-rate secretary for some employer. So go ahead Tuffy, we expect big things from you. I-lorry R. Hermly A shrewd business man, especially in trading home Work, is Fat. Harry is an old hand at the Stradivarius, which has contributed much to the success of the Schoeneck Mountaineers. We'll probably hear him as a soloist over the radio one of these days. His ambition, to be a teach- er, will certainly be realized. -E 20 lj.. Evelyn L. Hensel Hailing from Hopeland, Eveyln is one of the more studious members of the class. She was always ready to answer some literary question in our English class. Although she has been with us only four years, she has taken part in many activities of the school. We believe she will be successful in anything she tries. John L. Horst Johnny, noted for his laboratory ex- periments UQ and perplexing questions in chemistry class, is the high-spirited fellow in our class. John has been a leader of the class, in studies, dramatics and journalism, and we all know he will win his way to success with his friendly and helpful disposition. Jeon Herr Here is one of the outstanding mem- bers of our class. Jean has established an enviable record in many activities and stands among the highest scholastical- ly. Wrap personality plus, a charming manner, and a kind heart, into one small bundle and you have a slight idea of Jean. Home Ee here she comes! -D 21 U.. Cloir Royer Hurst Clair is a very diligent student, es- pecially when it comes to commercial work. He has little to say, but usually knows the latest news. Baker,' would apply to him, and probably will when he's selling our future housewives Maier's breadg that is, if he doesn't become a C. P. A. in the meantime. J une H umme r Lincoln's loss was our gain. June's quiet unassuming manner made her one of the best liked members of our class. She has gained a host of friends at 'Frata Highg they will remember her many times in the future. Here's wishing all the luck in the world to a future interior decorator. Milton Jocoby Milt is usually among the high five in the rifle matches. He has little to say, unless called upon to recite in German or chemistry class. Big League baseball is his ambition, fMilt knows all the major league batting champions from 1900 to 19401, and we'll probably find him in it some day calling batter up, or pinch-hit- ting. Hit 'em hard, Milt, both bulls-eyes and baseballs. -U 22 E- Donold F. Johnson When Don came to Ephrata in our junior year from Muncy High School, we instantly took a liking to him. With a great flare for basketball and for sports in general, he also has an eye on a certain cheerleader in the senior class. Here's hoping you win her, Don! Henry Krorner Henry is a Schoeneck lad. He joined us in our freshmen yearg from that time on ,Frata High has not been the same. Henry is always ready for a jokeg wheth- er it's on him, or by him, makes little dif- ference because his humor is just as great either way. Henry's future is doubtful, but we know that whatever he does he will do right. Edwin D. Keller Eddie is that Man-About-Town of our class who found time to help us make our dances great successes by being Master of Ceremonies and by helping on the committees for those dances. Thanks, Ed- die. Don't anyone ever try arguing auto- mobiles with him because he's strictly a Hudson man, Loads of luck to you, Eddie. Chorles A. Kreider The 4'Rhett Butler of the class of 1941, Charles is the boy who made Cupid age over night. Every time Kreider flashes those two blue beacons at a girl, Cupid has work to do. At some time or another every girl at E. H. S. has been captured in his spell, Lots of luck to Charles. Betty l. Kochel Here is a lady who's bound to be somebody's stenogf' Besides having a knack for getting along with people, she has a quiet responsible 'air about her that has gained the respect of all of us. All this plus her pleasing manner and out- standing ability in commercial subjects should certainly gain a position for Betty. Goldie E. Kupp Red hair, small in stature, quiet, that's Goldie. Whether in Ephrata or Baltimore, she is sure to make good and become a diligent and efficient office UD worker, Steadily plugging for a higher rung of the ladder, Goldie with all these! credits to her account is sure to finally reach the top, .-U 24 E.. Abrcm L. Leomon Abe's a moody lad whose actions no one can predict. He is a good prankster and always carries through until the fin- ish. Abram wants to join the Army and see the United States. If he can get the Army through as many scrapes as he has been through, with as little trouble, he'll probably be promoted to the rank of General. R. Eugene Lied Eugene came to us from Akron at the beginning of our last year in 'Frata High, and immediately got into the swing of things. He seemed to belong here as a part of us. This studious hard-worker will definitely reach the top no matter what he tries. All this and personality too-need we say more? Dorothy E. Lied Dot came to us this year from Akron and has added much merriment to the halls of E. H. S. Her gay personality and sudden bursts of laughter are punctuated by moments of seriousness. An all-round American girl, Dot is active in anything that happens to be transpiring. Surely she can fashion for herself an outstanding place in her chosen profession. -lj 25 E- Louise Morie Morin Bang I ! That's how it sounded when Louise, that talkative brownette from Arizona, dropped into our quiet midst one sunny day in 1939. Her like- able personality and sense of humor won her a position in our class at once. With- out her, our class would have lacked a certain something. May the best. of luck in the world follow you always, Louise. Josephine G. Lutz Jo is a big girl, physically, but her heart is not to be outdone by her body- it's bigger. She's been noted for her re- markable talents in basketball. We need- ed her as a cheerleader, and what a cheer- leader she was! She made us yell, she made us cry. You have what it takes, J o, go get it. Vero M. Martin If you ever need help, look for Vcrag she is always ready and willing to give aid. This kindly country lass came to us in our freshman year. Since that time, she has given us the lasting impression of being quiet and studious. Her creditable academic standing is really going to help her obtain success. ...lj 26 El.. Lester F. Messner In our freshman year, Durlach sent this mischievous and fun-loving character to E. H. S. He is always ready to play a trick on anybody. Without him, the Schoeneck Mountaineers would never have been the same. Never argue with Lester about politics, because you're sure to come out second-best. Mabel Moe Minnich Minnich is the one and only really dashing feminine red head in our class. The class would certainly. be at a loss without Mabelis rippling laughter. Mab- el will be remembered by the commercial students for her talk on The Perfect Stenographerug she will also be re- membered by everyone as a true sport and the life of the party. -lj ' ' 'l Helen Elizobeth Miller Dark, attractive, peppy - these words describe Helen to a HT. Anywhere she happens to be, she is always the same self-confident person. With a lengthy chain of friends to her credit now, she is sure to increase it in future years. It is almost impossible for anyone like Helen not to obtain the highest position obtain- able. lj- Donold R. Morrow Don, that shy young gentleman who has been with us all through the years, has made many friends. He is well-dress- ed, well-behaved, and makes a hit with the girls in spite of his shyness. This shyness is the only thing against him and we're sure that won't prevent his becom- ing a success. Helen Irene Mohn Helen is a perfect example of the adage, Good things come in small pack- ages. Although she can hardly be seen in a group of her taller friends, her in- cessant chatter is always prominent. Hel- en has a rare sense of knowing what to expect from her superiors. May her car- eer be successful, and may her happiness be unlimited. Betty Jone Overholser To an immeasurable amount of loy- alty add an equal portion of unwavering devotion and mix thoroughly with a large measure of capability, stir in a sympa- thetic nature, an enlightened sense of humor and a carefree attitude, and you have Betty, a girl really worth-while knowing and a friend worth having. Robert R. Reom Reverend is that boy. we all know to be a hard-working, hard-studying, hard- playing all-round boy. He plunged hard in football, played hard in basketball, and studied almost as hard. We all know that if he tries equally hard, he will make good in anything. By the way, he's a hard boy, all around, except in his heart. Normette L. Reddig You will now have the pleasure of hearing from our lovely nightingale, Nan- nette Reddigf' is something we may all have the pleasure of hearing over our radios. The students will miss the sweet tones of her voice flowing through the auditorium. We all wish Nannette lots of luck in her singing career. Dorothy Louise Reddig Alive--that's the only adjective that comes anywhere near describing the in- describable Dot Reddig. To catch her in a moment of repose is to experience a sight that rivals a wonder of the world. So it isn't surprising that she is one of our outstanding cheerleaders. Now it's our turn, Dot, and we are all cheering for your success. -13 29 13- Morion R. Roussey Marion has been with us for- the twelve years of our school career and has always had some witty answer to almost any question you asked her. She's jolly, sincere, and is always willing to act as chauffeur for anyone who asks. We are sure Marion will reach success in what- ever she sets as her goal. Donald L. Rock Rock of Gibraltar, would be a suit- able name for Donald, not only because you can't move him, but because of the strength of his determination to succeed in whatever he attempts. We are sure he will find a firm foundation as Mayor of Clay. We hope he will have a per- petual avalanche of luck through his life. Marion Elizabeth Rupp Marion, one of the smaller members of the class, helps to add a little some- thing to the action of the class. Although she has quite a distance to come to school, she only lets high water and deep snow keep her from passing through the doors of 'Frata Hi to gain a little more know- ledge. -E 30 E- Kenneth E. Sondoe If Kenn had lived during the Middle Ages, surely he would have been a knight on a white charger. His Sir Galahad manner with the feminine element has always been outstanding. Today, how- ever, Kenn displays his chivalry by act- ing as official fountain-tender of the E. H. S. May his gallantry continue until he finds the grail he is seeking-success. -Tim ,,,, ..., ..x.1.n, hsagj Leo C. Snoder Leo's our boy from Akron. He has what all the weaker sex fall for . . . per- sonality . . . and has become a valuable addition to our class. Without him, study halls would be too noisy finstead of mak- ing noise like the rest of us, Leo sleepsl. In spite of this, he will probably be suc- cessful and make some girl a good hus- band. Bernard Shore Click, Ha, Ha, thatis a good one. This is an expression often heard when our expert photographer, Babe is around. If you want an idea of what the well-dressed high school student is wear- ing, get an eyeful of Bernie. He is a true 'friend and an excellent photographer and we are sure he will click perfectly in anything he attempts. 1 ag 31 Q-. Margaret S. Stoner Although well-known for her quiet disposition, Margaret is recognized as the master-mind of the class. From adverbs to logarithms she has always been an hon- or student. She is now planning to be a private secretary. If we know her as we think we do, Margaret's intelligence and sound judgment will be an asset to any office. Stanley S. Stief Stanley is one of the smartest boys in the class. His marks are envied by all. If it were not for Stanley, the Rifle Club would not have attained the success it has in the past three years. We know Stief will succeed in whatever he decides to do. Kathleen Ruth Stover A quiet girl more on the intelligent side is Kathleen. Try to put her in a tight spot and she will always manage to wriggle out somehow. Her slogan is: If at first you don't succeed--try, try againf' From our knowledge of her in the past, we know she will not be dis- couraged easily, but will try and will succeed. Galen Sweigart For four years, Galen's brilliant work has helped the football team immeasur- ably. Off the gridiron, as well as on it, his determination and high standards have made him loved and admired by all. Galen is always ready to help a friend in need. Keep displaying that determina- tion, Sweig, and you're sure to succeed. Richard C. Taylor 'nSide or center? Of course you all know who would be saying this. It comes from the happy-go-lucky usher at the Main Theatre. Dick also likes to take part in extra-curricular activities and is one of the most intelligent mem- bers of our class. May he have lots of success in whatever he picks for his life work. Llewellyn Sweigart light wavy hair, manners-all of Out of school he is generally seen either in his Chevvy,,' Any class would Sunny disposition, good looks, and quiet these fit Lou perfectly. or on East Main Street. not be complete without a fellow like Lou and we all wish him loads of luck. -lj 33 U.. lrene E. Willwerth When Irene moved to Ephrata, an im- portant member was added to our class. She has taken the academic course and has never failed to help anybody, because she strongly believes that a friend in need is a friend indeedf' Here's wishing lots of luck to you, Irene, as an element- ary school teacher. Arlene Wenrich For four years we've known that Ar- lene is really a wonderful girl and a friend who is there when you need her. Unselfishly, she'll share anything she has and be glad that she can help. Although her talkativeness comes at irregular in- tervals, there is always laughter hidden somewhere in her eyes. And what world can conquer a girl with laughing eyes? Betty Jone Wolf Betty, another of our commercial students, is a flashing blonde with bright blue eyes, who always has a smile for ev- eryone. Not only is she a whizz', at basketball and typing, but she drives the family Oldsmobile with a proficient hand. She has been a real pal to many of us. Best of everything to you, Betty! -EI 34 E- Anno Jane Zwolly Anna Jane, not just another Akron- ite, entered our class in the fall of 1940. The halls of Ephrata High would have been silent had it not been for her chat- tering or rushing into school at 8:22. Lots of luck to Anna Jane in whatever she may attemptg she can't help winning.

Well-represented. in basketball, Luke Weaver, Galen Mi- ley, Donald Sweigart, and Jack Gardner helped to raise esteem for the class. Also, in various plays, Herbert Schwartz, Joan Mentzer and Pearl Root upheld the class honors. Innumerable others took part in various clubs and activi- ties. ' The class has chosen for its colors, emerald green and cream. Hats, pen- nants, and emblems have already been selected and purchased. Good luck to you, Class of 1942. .-EI? SOPHOMORE CLASS The class of 1943, having pro- gressed through two years in ,Frata High, now have a much better idea of high school life than they had last year when many of them passed through the doors of our school for the first time. This sophomore class is as fine a one as our school has had for some time. The expectations of this class are high, and we all feel sure it will be a great asset to our school in the future. FRESHMAN CLASS Next fall when this class takes up the name of sophomore they will enter the group that has class organization, dances and extra-curricular activities. If they stick together in the future the way they have in the past their activi- ties should be very outstanding. And so from all of us to all of you: High school life is what you make itg make the best of itf' ..l:'.... EIGHTH GRADE --U 41 U Two years in junior high school have quieted this rushing, noisy group into a more serious, studi- ous class, which will in the next four years be a big asset to the high school. These pupils now have to concentrate on that great problem before them . . . what course to take. Whatever course they choose, they will, Without a doubt, be successful. We hope they will not only re- tain their present school spirit, but will carry on where we have failed, SEVENTH GRADE This group of ambitious young- sters, who hope to graduate in 1946, has added much to the sound and appearance of the cor- ridors of E. H. S. We, the Class of 1941, remember especially well our first year here, and look back on it with fond memories. Don't forget 1946ers, study hard and you'l1 never regret it. mmm CHEERLEADERS . With the beginning of the football season came the election of cheer- leaders. This year the election was taken out of the hands of the Hi-Y, and the seniors and juniors made the choice. Norma Constantine was the lead- er of this organization. The others picked were Bette Donecker, Dorothy Reddig and Josephine Lutz. These girls did much to keep up school spirit and supply support for the basketball and football teams. -5 42 13... A BASKETBALL With only one member of last year's team back, the basketball season was not very cheering to Ephrata followers. The team did not have the ex- perience and stamina that an older team has and finished in a sixth place tie with Quarryville in the league. The team, however, played some Very close and exciting contests. Perhaps the one that will be longest remembered was the second Eph- rata-Lititz game which saw Lititz trail the whole game until' the last min- utes. Another heart-breaker was the last game of the season which Eph- rata lost to Manor by two points in an extra period. Graduating from the team is Bob Beck, who shared the captain's duties with Luke Weaver., and Bob Ream. We wish to Coach Derr's future teams all the points that they can get, and hope that Ephrata may gain the league title in coming years. FOOTBALL 'Ihe football season found many new faces in the line-up, as most of last year's varsity had graduated. Although the season was not very successful, many of the games were thrilling down to the last minute. Among those best remembered will be the victory over the Lebanon High Reserves, the last minute loss to Elizabethtown and the thrilling game with Shillington. Among the members of the varsity who will not be back next year are Galen Sweigart, a great halfback and captain of the eleven, Bob Ream, full- back, Donald Rock, tackleg and Bob Beck, end. We all wish Coach Male the best of luck in future football games. Lebanon High Reserves . . 0 Ephrata 13 West York ...... 39 Ephrata Catholic . , . . 26 Ephrata Elizabethtown . . . 6 Ephrata Red.

The Ephrata Hi-Y won the state-wide Bible Study Contest sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. of Pennsylvania in 1939 and 1940, and again in 1941.

Miss Bard is the faculty adviser. ..l:I.. THE MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus is an organization composed of those students who are interested in group singing and choral work. Under the direction of Miss Cressman, the chorus has participated in various programs throughout the year, including the special holiday programs and the Baccalaureate Ser- vice. Ruth Powell is the able accompanist for the organization. SCHOENECK MOUNTAINEERS In the fall of 1938, the Schoeneck Mountaineers, a group of boys who played violins, guitars and banjos, were organized under the supervision of Mr. Bomberger. Many hours of practice followed, and then an appearance in one of our chapel programs. After their first appearance, the news of the success of this organization reached far and wide. Since 1938 they have filled many engagements at spelling bees, banquets and churches. An electric guitar, two accordions, and more stringed instruments have been added through the years along with new members as they became available. -El BA N D President ,,,,,,,,,,t Edward Hacker Librarians rlPaul Willwerth and Harold Sweigart The band, under the leadership of Mr. Bohn, has had a most successful season during the past school year. The purchasing of new uniforms for the Band by the School Board, perked the group up considerably, and they played for many of the football and basketball games. The concerts they participated in include: The Tri-Band Concert with Lititz and Man- heim Borough, and the County Music Festival. Several members also went to Waynes- boro to participate in the District Band Festival there. The first concert was presented in May. Several new instruments were bought and added to the band, including two French horns, a glockenspiel, an oboe, and four tenor drums and two Scotch bass drums, in or- der to develop a complete drum section, There seems to be a bright future ahead for this group as only two seniors are leaving this year - Edward Hacker and Eugene Lied, a trumpet and baritone player respectively. -E 49 E- GIRLS' CLUB Betty Miller ,,.., .. ....,.., P resident Gertrude Pendleton Vice-President Lucy Myers .......,. ........, S ecretary These sixty-six young Women of tomorrow make up one of E.

JUNIOR GIRLS' GLEE CLUB This club is composed of thirty-eight girls from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. With Miss Cressman, the directress, and accompanist Arlene Sauder, this group has entertained us with many pleasing selections in chapel throughout the year. .-.E.. OPERETTA This year a two act Operetta was presented entitled Cinderella, With many elaborate costumes, attractive scenery and fine acting and singing ability the Operetta was one we will long remember. Those Seniors having important parts were Stanley Stief, Arthur Erb, Harry Henly, Louise Bearinger, Bette Donecker, Jean Herr, Mable Minnich, Jean Buch, Clair Hurst, Betty Baringer, Helen Eberly, Robert Beck, Marion Roussey and Nannette Reddig. -lj 51 lj..

Rugs are made on burlap, from materials which are bought for the purpose. They also receive the patterns from a company. The rugs are made by hand with the use of a small hook. Each member has started a rug herself, and, although they have put in much time, even working some study periods, none of the rugs are as yet completed. This club has proved worth while, as many of the rugs made last year are already in use in the homes of the makers. ....l:1..

The group, composed of nineteen members, may seem small, but unlike any other club in the high school, they have given aid to European War Relief, donating six boys' shirts and six girls' skirts to the Red Cross. -D 52 E- CLASS H I STORY -D-. It was a bright September morning when we, the Class of 1941, enter- ed the doors of 'Frata Hi as freshmen. We strutted around the halls with a new feeling of importance, but we soon learned that we weren't quite as im- portant as we thought we were. As Sophomores we re-entered Ephrata High much more familiar with its routine than we had been previously. Some of our class participated as members of the varsity football team, including Galen Sweigart and Mick Constantine. The basketball team that year included Bob Beck and Mick Constantine. The annual operetta, Tulip Time, was a tremendous success, and had -,Bob Beck, Edward Hacker, and Betty Baringer as principals, with many oth- ers of our class in the chorus. We came back in 1939 prepared to face the year as juniors. For the first time we organized and elected class officers: John Horst, president, Rich- ard Taylor, vice-president, Jean Herr, treasurer, Beata Butzer, secretary. Our class colors, Maroon and Steel Gray, were chosen, and our hats, pen- nants, and emblems were ordered. Ream, Gardner, Beck, Constantine, and Galen Sweigart were our con- tributions to the football team, and Beck, Ream, Constantine, and Galen Sweigart to the basketball team. Next came the three-act play, Anne of Green Gables, in which Jean Herr, John Horst, and Stanley Stief took part. Instead of having an operetta, Miss Cressman and Mr. Bohn planned a music festival in which members of the Band and Mixed Chorus partici- pated. Our social calendar included a Hallowe'en Dance, a St. Valentine's Day Dance, and, last but not least, the Junior Prom. We selected committees, made plans and got things under way. With the gym decorated in the South American way and Jimmy Shenk's orchestra doing its best, we showed ev- erybody there our idea of a grand time. We entered Ephrata High's portals for the final year in September of 1940, and started off by electing our class officers: Edward Hacker, president, Robert Ream, vice president, Margaret Stoner, secretary, and Kenneth San- doe, treasurer. The varsity football team was headed by Galen Sweigart, and Bob Beck captained the basketball team in 1940-41. Many of the seniors went to the Hallowe'en Dance, The St. Patrick's Day Dance, and very few, indeed, missed the Junior Prom. Then finally came examinations, and with them preparations for the Commencement Program, which included the Baccalaureate Service, Class Day, and Commencement itself. Finally, with heavy hearts, we came back . . . for the last day of school at Ephrata, but looking ahead to our assignment in Life. -E 53 E- Lillian Adams .........
