Swimming, rid- ing and skating are a few of the many sports in which she enthusiastically participates. Travel seems to hold Ruthe's interestg but whether she chooses a career along this line or not, we're sure she'll journey far along the road to success and happiness. Three cheers for Ruthe! Esther Hertzog Esther has been a member of our class ever since the freshman year when Lincoln contributed this smiling lass to us. The com- mercial students were fortunate enough to have her share their course with them. Her sincerity will help her make the most of whatever life may have in store for her. Lots of luck from all of us to one of you! Edwin Austin Hess Bang ! ! ! Just like that a clever charact- er by the name of Austin Hess dropped in on us from Akron in the fall of '43. He brought With him his trombone for the band, his voice for the boys' quartet and mixed chorus, his intelligence for German Class and his jokes for the entertainment of all of us. Of course none of us will ever forget his originality as displayed in his column which added a humor- ous note to the Mountaineer, We sincerely believe everybody will join with us in saying that Akron's loss was our gain and our loss will be somebody else's gain. Best of luck to one who deserves the best!

Edwin Allen Getz Ed is one of those sly fellows in the class. School would have been rather drab if we wouldn't have had the empty spaces filled in by his antics.

7 945 dfoiafszafis 7 Q Robert Hess Tall, dark and handsome, that is a per- fect description of Bob. His popularity can- not be questioned for he has been chosen by us as president of the class of '45. A more in- dustrious student than Bob is difficult to find. Dramatics, music and a wide variety of other activities have been a part of his school life. His congenial manner, winning smile, and brown eyes have given him a Special place in our hearts. To become a doctor, is Bob's am- bition. There can be no doubt as to his suc- cess. May we add our best wishes. Kenneth W. Hoover That certainly did look like Alan Ladd rushing down the hall, but since that's not probable, it must have been our own Ken. Be- sides having those looks to kill, he's got person- ality plus. Paradise certainly shouldn't have left Ken leave their portals for E. H. S., but we're grateful to them for doing so. Much of the credit for the success of the social events in our Junior year should go to Ken who was Junior class president. He believes in doing things right and getting them done quickly. One thing more we shall always remember is his co-captainship of the football squad in the 1944-45 season. He did a marvelous job and helped spur the squad to victory. All we have to offer is yours, Ken. Elsie Anno Hummel Little said is soonest mended seems to be Elsie's motto and one which more of us should follow. She is a real student, and has devoted her time and talents to the commercial course. This is the field she has pursued and has already succeeded in obtaining a respons- ible position in the office of a local business es- tablishment. This should prepare her for any higher position she may desire. Best of every- thing to a very sweet person ! I !
