Beoll Betty is one girl who takes life as it comes. Al- though she appears quiet and reserved we know she is just the opposite. She has a carefree manner and is hardly ever serious. Throughout her twelve years with us Betty has always spent most of her time chat- tering unceasingly with her neighbor. She is one of our commercial students. In whatever field she seeks her career, she is bound to get ahead. Glorio Chormoine Beck When we started school in our sophomore year- we suddenly found ourselves with a blonde bombshell e on our hands. She has continued to stir up excitement ever since. Becky is one of the outstanding girl athletes of the class, and her sparkling chatter can be heard incessantly in either the class room or halls. Her charming smile and vigorous nature will lead her to the very pinnacle of success. Lewis W. Bowmon Here's a handsome, Hopeland lad who's bound to make his mark upon the world just as he did upon the Class of '46. Quiet and unassuming, Lew nevertheless was elected president of the Hi-Y Club and vice- president of the class in our Senior year, and also served as a member of the HCLOISTERETTEU staff. Lew possesses a fine personality, is always willing to lend a hand, and never fails to perform any assigned duty promptly and efficiently. Cloisterette Betty Lou Brendle Betty is another industrious commercial student who is also noted for her athletic ability. The first impression one gets of Betty Lou is that she is more or less on the quiet side-but she soon changes this opinion by her gay laughter and constant chattering. Her brown hair and blue eyes set off her pleasing per- sonality. Whether her future interest lies in the com- mercial or academic field, her aptitude and eagerness to get ahead are sure to lead her on the road to success. Morse W. Brossmon, Jr. Morse came to us four years ago from Bergstrasse, and, since then, has lost all the shyness which he ex- hibited when he first joined us. How would the gang have been able to attend the football and basketball games without the use of Peach's sturdy station- wagon? Known throughout the class for his irrepres- sible good humor, he nevertheless can buckle down to work when it is necessary to do so and is bound to find success in life. Rose Marie Burkholcler Rose possesses pep, popularity and personality plus This attractive brunette did a grand job as one of our cheerleaders this year. However, her in- terests do not stop at this point, but extend into the Mixed Chorus as well as the Girls' Rifle Club. In ad- dition, she possesses a sense of humor which is con- stantly bubbling over with hearty laughter. We feel sure that Rose will continue to succeed in the future just as she has in the past. Cloisterette ll Robert S. Corter Wake up, Bob, itls time for the next class. -This jerk Csoda jerk, that ish seems to be dozing all the time, but beneath that nonchalant exterior is a quick, keen mind which has a special faculty for grasping subjects related to science and mathematics. Although he has never taken a music lesson, Bob is an accom- plished pianist and has composed an opus of his own. His aspiration is to become a pharmacist, and those who know him have no doubt that he will achieve his goal. Thelmo Constontine Thelmals pleasant disposition and winning smile have made her a vital part of our class. She is well known for the 'super sundaes she dreams up and sells at Carter's. K'Connie can constantly be seen playing practical jokes or sharing a laugh with some of her many friends. Her fun-loving spirit will long be re- membered by all of us, for she has brightened many a dull classroom with her amusing antics. Neito E. Corl Neita is a serious, blonde, blue-eyed lass who joined our class in ninth grade. She takes everything calmly and never becomes excited. Her quick smile and pleasing personality have won many friends for her. She ranks as a very industrious commercial stu- dent and is capable of doing only the best. Whatever she attempts to do we know that she will succeed. Best of luck and success to you, Neita. Cloisterette John E. Demmy John is possessed with a very changeable disposi- tion, which has puzzled many a teacher and student alike. One minute he may be seen studiously buried in his books, and then all of a sudden he is engaged in trying to make more noises than anyone else. Demmy is known for his shyness, especially among members of the opposite sexg but his hilarious bursts of laughter have won for him a spot near to the hearts of his classmates. l Doris Ilene Dunkerly We went all the way to twelfth grade before this charming lady joined us. She journeyed all the way from Western Pennsylvania to attend our school and brought with her a pleasing smile and a happy-go- lucky outlook on life. Doris enjoys lending a helping hand to any or all who need it, and she can constantly be seen leading a cheerful group of girls in conversa- tion. Keep wearing that smile and you are bound to succeed, Doris. Rhoda M. Elchelberger Shorty -Ah yes, Shortyf' She is small physic- ally, but is one of the few girls in the class who was not afraid to take subjects which the others classified as difiicult. She soon displayed her ability in the class- rooms, as well as in various extra-curricular activities around the school. Rhoda came to us in our sopho- more year, and since then her popularity has steadily increased. She served as vice-president of the Girls' Club in our Senior year. Cloisterette 13 Pauline D. Enclc Polly is one commercial student who will have no trouble acquiring a position. What employer wouldn't be delighted to have her cheerful disposition and well-groomed appearance about his office? She can more than hold her own when it comes to getting her work done, for she does commendable work in all her classes. However, she is never too engrossed in her work to enjoy a good laugh, and will always be remembered for her fun-loving spirit and congeniality. Edwin G. Erb, Jr. 'tErbie made an inconspicuous entrance into our ranks in seventh grade, but he certainly wouldn't be able to leave us the same way. For Tex,,' as everyone now knows him, blossomed into one of the top foot-- ball players of our class. Not only did he hold down left tackle on the varsity squad for three years, but last season he also served as co-captain. Erbie,s determination and fiery temperament will undoubtedly carry him as far in the game of life as it did on the gridiron. Margo ret Adelio Foke Margaret is the epitome of those who believe in Keeping one's eyes and ears open and mouth shut. Ever since first grade her conscientiousness and ef- ficiency have set an example for many of us. Reading and interior decorating hold top place among her hob- bies. Her name is also included when one thinks of the athletically inclined feminine members of the class. Show others what you have shown us, Margaret, and your success will be certain. Cloisterette Evelyn S. Fry In our sophomore year when Akron High School decided to send its pupils to Ephrata, we were lucky to gain a vivacious, brown-eyed brunette- Snooky.,, It is no secret that Snooky is gifted with unusual athletic abilityg and the same pep and vigor which causes her to excel in sports is carried over into her personality. Needless to say, she has caused many happy moments in student life at E. H. S. Happiness is assured for her because she has learned to play the game. l Annette M. Hensel Gettle Lively and jovial are two Words which describe Annetta to a T.,' There is never a dull moment when this gay, carefree lass is around. One of the infrequent times she is quiet is when she is laboriously translating her Latin. Her witty tongue and gay manner have made her a friend of all who know her. Annetta's sunny disposition and amiable smile can't help but lead her into a bright future. Take a good look at one of the most accomplished and versatile fellows in our class. As manager of the basketball team, tackle on the football team, Junior class vice-president, and Associate Editor of the CLOISTERETTE, Bob has always done an excellent job. HGoodie is also a master of the 'KOld 88, and can play anything from Brahms to Boogie Whether he chooses music or optics as his career, Bob has a bright future before himg for we know he will waste no time in vaulting to the top of his chosen profession. Cloisterette .15 Evelyn R. Groybill Evelyn is noted for her quietness and her ability to do her own work without a complaint. This does n0t mean that she will never take part in anything that offers fun, and she is always willing to help a friend if she is able to. She has made many friends working at a local pharmacy, where her smiling face is most often seen. She has taken the commercial course and will surely succeed in whatever work she chooses. Mortho LaRue Griesemer LaRue has been with us ever since we started school and has added much to our class both in music and in personality. She is a member of the Mixed Chorus and has entertained us several times with solos in assembly. She is rather quiet, but this does not affect her winning smile and willing cooperation. She has also put her talents to use as an associate editor of the Mountaineer, Whether she chooses music or writing as a career, LaRue cannot help but succeed. Willis H. Hackman Bill is known for three things: his musical ability, his horse laugh, and his amazingly illegible hand- writing. Not only has he entertained us many times in chapel programs, but for quite some time he has appeared with some of the best orchestras around these parts. Whether he remains in the ranks of pop- ular music, or change his name to Hackmanowski and conducts a symphonic orchestra, Willis is bound to slide that trombone right into the forefront of the musical world. '16 Cloisterette Shirley Ann Hcirter Shirley came from Denver to E. H. S. in our Fresh- man year. Since then she has won recognition as one of our most industrious students. In addition to rank- ing high among those who took the commercial course, Shirley quietly and efficiently served as class treasurer in our Senior year. Her ability was a great help on the annual yearbook staff.- Although slightly on the shy side, she has won the respect of all because of her traits of friendliness and studiousness. Jonice Arlene Houck The old adage, Good things come in small pack- ages, certainly applies to Janice. This wee miss came to us from Bergstrasse in the fall of l42 and ever since then has been making a name for herself as an out- standing commercial student. Ample proof of her typ- ing ability lies in the fact that she was chosen as a typist for both the 'kMountaineer and the HCLOISTERETTEU staffs. Keep wearing that smile, Janice, and you're bound to succeed. Virginia Down Helster Sober one minute, happy-go-lucky the next. This describes Virginia very well. On the surface she may seem quiet, but underneath she has a sunny disposi- tion and good nature which accounts for her host of friends. She is full of pranks and is always ready for a good laugh. But Ginny also has her serious moments, and you can count on her to do her work conscien- tiously and to study diligently at all times. Cloisterette Florence Hersh Brown eyes and a smiling countenance framed by dark hair wrap Florence in one bundle. She came into our midst in eighth grade and has been a very active member of the class ever since. She has shared her talents with us in the Mixed Chorus and as a flag swinger in the band. Floss is undecided as to what career to follow after graduation, but We know she will succeed with her capability and determination. Robert G. Herzer Bob is another fellow who has come all the way with the class of '46. He is one of the air-minded fel- lows of our class and has been an active member of the rifle club for three years. His hobbies include swimming, hunting and other outdoor activities. Dur- ing class room periods whenever there is some dis- turbance or prank being played on someone, you can be sure Bob has had something to do with it. Elvo Moe Hlmelrlght Elva moved from Weidmansville to join our class in our senior year. Music seems to be a favored diver- sion of hers, for she is a member of the Mixed Chorus, and delights in listening to music of any kind. Al- though Elva is rather quiet, she is one of our most friendly colleagues and can constantly be seen Hash- ing her congenial smile. She has chosen nursing as her career, and her amiable disposition will be sure to brighten many hours for her patients. Cloisterette Frormk R. Hoffman, Jr. When our class started school twelve years ago, Franklin, as he was known then, seemed no different from the rest of usg but since then he has developed a personality all his own. If you see a large crowd of laughing fellows it is a sure indication that Frank has just related the latest joke. His fine sense of humor as well as his distinctive mannerisms will form a solid foundation upon which he will be able to build his SUCCESS. E. Dole I-lornberger Dale is known to all of us as the class artist. His splendid sketches have done much to make the HCLOISTERETTEH and the 'iMountaineer the out- standing successes that they are. His Work as chair- man of the decoration committee for the Junior Prom, helped greatly to make that affair the great success that it was. Horny's predilection for neatness and originality will surely gain prominence for him in the higher art circles of the world. Dorothy J. Hummer Dorothy is one girl, whom we cou1dn't do without. Her attractive hair-do's and up-to-the-minute ward- robe are the envy of many of the girls. Her charming mannerisms and congenial smile are only two of her many outstanding assets. As secretary of the Girls' Club Dot', has done a fine job. Scholastically, her marks have always been high and we know she will be a great success in her chosen career. Cloisterette - 19 Ruth Geraldine Keller Ruth is one of our out-of-town students who travels gps, from Lincoln to Ephrata to be with us each day. She is a very quiet girl with a friendly and reserved man- ner. Her ever-present smile and willingness to help others make her a true friend. Ruth is very studious and always does her best in everything. We can de- pend on her to accomplish anything she sets out to do. Virginia L. Kemp This tall dark-haired miss joined our class in fourth grade. As a government worker in Washington for the past two summers, she has shown us that she has a will to get ahead. Her oratorical powers have added much to our classroom discussions. She has been active in the Mixed Chorus, and in the band as a Hag swinger. Virginia sticks to her job until it is finished and we know she will reach her goal in surgery, her chosen profession. Morion Anne Kilhefner Lots of fun and a jolly good timey' has been Mari- an's motto in the past and undoubtedly will continue to be in the future. This vivacious lass is much in evi- dence, both in school and out. She has contributed much both as leader of the flag-swingers and as a cheerleader. Marian's ambition in life is to be some- one's Uprivateu secretary. Her amiable disposition and her efiiciency will help her to be a good secretary. Cloisterette Rosolie Anne Kilhefner This cornely lass with her careless good nature and engaging smile has found her way into the hearts of each and every one of us during the twelve years she has been with us. Rosie's incessant chattering may usually be heard in the classrooms or halls. She never seems to worry about anything and whenever anyone needs help she is willing to lend a hand. Rosie's bound to succeed in anything she chooses. Chorles C. Kochel, Jr. Puss will always be remembered by the class Cand by his teachers, tool for his unique answers. Many times have we been sent into deliriums by his ridiculous replies to questions of all types. Whenever the class held an election of any kind, Charles was always the one to open the nominations. He has be- come the chief nominator of the class of '46. With this experience behind him, he will probably wind up a ward politician of great renown. Noncy Anne Kreider Mix talent and intelligence in the right proportions, add a pleasing personality and a ready smile, and you have Nancy. She has compiled a scholastic record of which she can well be proud. Sissy practically grew up with her clarinet at her side and has been a member of the band ever since sixth grade. The Girls' RiHe Club has been another one of her activities. With a formula like hers for success, how can she fail! Cloisterette 21 Alice Solindo Lone Alice is one of the more quiet, reserved and stu- dious members of our class. Daily she travels the dis- tance between Clay and Ephrata to further her edu- cation. Needless to say, her name is included among those who have compiled outstanding scholastic rec- ords. Although she appears rather shy on the surface she is always ready for fun. Alice's studiousness and sincerity will surely lead her to success in whatever she may attempt. Elicus E. Leisey, Jr. Sutz is one of the few male members of the class who took the straight commercial course and is usually seen struggling with either bookkeeping or commercial math. His interests do not stop with these subjects, though, for he is a veteran member of the school band and is also handy when it comes to driving his father's truck. If he is as successful in life as he has been in school, Elias will have no problem in gaining success. Rondol C. Lerch ':Randy is a tall, quiet UD, likeable chap who's been with the class of '46 ever since first grade. Base- ball claims a lot of his interestg and, when summer rolls around, you will most likely find him at the nearest ball-diamond. Another of his interests is hunting which may explain the fact that he was vice- president of the Rifle Club this year. In school L'Randy is a hard worker, but he always has time to listen to for relatel the latest joke. 22 Cloisterette Ronald E. Leviton You simply canlt begin to compile all of Ronnie's many and varied interests. To name a few, Feets', is President of his class, editor of both the Mountain- eer and the 'ACLOISTERETTEQ' manager of the foot- ball team, a member of the varsity basketball team, a writer for the local newspaper and one of the most intellectual members of our class His vocabulary is boundless, and he is always prepared to lend a hand to those who need it. Success can not help but come to you in your career of journalism, Ronnie, Dorothy Elizabeth Lutz For precisely twelve years Betty has joined many of us in our classrooms. To a newcomer she might appear quiet and independent, but underneath her quietness she is a lively and fun-loving girl. She is a capable commercial student and is always willing to type a few lines for a friend. We all feel sure that she will succeed in her chosen profession, stenography, and we wish her the best of luck. Morgoret Mortin A young lady should be seen and not heard is certainly an appropriate motto for Margaret. This reserved young maiden joined our ranks in ninth grade and has proven herself a worthy classmate. Al- though on the quiet side she rates high scholastically in her commercial work. Whenever a friend is in need of help, Margaret is always willing to lend a hand. We, the class of 46,', are certain that 'Margy will succeed in anything she attempts. Cloisterette Q3 Eleonor Elizobeth McVey Eleanor has been with us as long as we can remem- ber and has always been scholastically outstanding. Plane and Solid class would have been quite dull with- out her help in figuring out theorems. As a member of the 'KMountaineer and the HCLOISTERETTEN staffs she has proven her journalistic ability. Mac is a friend to all and is usually seen treating her class- mates to candy or taking them for a ride in the Ford. Best of luck, Eleanor, in anything you decide to do. Albert H. Mellinger To say that Dodo has been a valuable asset to the class is a gross understatement. All through high school this burly behemoth has been an outstanding member of the football and basketball teams, and in addition, served as one of the most successful business managers of the HCLOISTERETTEH and vice-president of the Hi-Y Club. He has a very high scholastic stand- ing, and with his Hair for discussing anything at all and winning his point, Dodo should have no trouble reaching the top of the business world. Morie E. Mondo Come on team, let's go! is Marie's favorite phrase. Marie is the capable captain of our cheer-leaders and without her excellent cheerleading ability and school spirit, our basketball and football teams would have been at a great loss. Marie is a commercial student but is not certain as to her future plans. Though small in stature she has made an important place for herself in our class and is bound to be equally successful all her life. Q4 Lloyd R. Mau Red hair is usually a sign of vigor and vitality. Mike, as everybody knows him, has the red hair and undoubtedly has the vigor and vitality to go with it. This is amply proven by his athletic ability, for this diminutive, likeable, carrot-topped youth not only has served as football manager, and as a player on the varsity basketball squad, but also excels in baseball. Whatever his goal may be, we know he'll come out on top. Cloisterette Sc: ro Anne Neff Talented, intelligent, attractive, are fitting words to describe Sara. This flashing brunette is well-known and liked by everyone because of her neat appearance and good nature. Sara always appears to be bubbling over with laughter, although she has her serious mo- ments. Nimble fingers make her an accomplished pianist and typist. What the future holds is not known, but the class of 46', wishes you all the luck in the world, Sara. Doris came to us 1n our second year of Junior High. She brought with her not only a keen intellect but also a pleasing personality. She is an accomplished pianist and has proven this many times as the accomplished pianist for assembly and Mixed Chorus. Her partici- pation in extra-curricular activities has continually been an asset to the class. Her prominent smile and friendly manner will secure success for her in her chosen career as a nurse. Cloisterette Q5 Janice June Polm Naturally wavy brown hair, blue eyes, and a peaches and cream complexion are three of J anice's outstanding features. Her pleasing manner and readi- ness to help a fellow-student have enabled her to make many a friend among her classmates. Although Janice is one of the quieter, more industrious commercial stu- dents, she always has a friendly disposition and a smile for everyone. Janice's winning personality and im- perturbable demeanor will take her a long way towards reaching her goal. Foy Delpbine Phillips Dark hair, dark eyes, an intriguing mixture of laughter, seriousness, and feminine charms-all these descriptive phrases fit Fay to a T.i' All her class- mates will readily testify as to her talkativeness. Al- though she has made all of us laugh with her nonsense, Fay can be serious and studious as well, and certainly is deserving of the best that the future can afford her. Keep plugging, Fay, your path is sure to lie on the road to success. Betty Jane Ream This trim little lass is a personal friend of almost everyone in the high school. All who know her are quick to agree that her spontaneous remarks and her pleasant nature are perhaps her most out- standing assets. She can exert restraint when it is necessary, but we rarely find her in a disconsolate mood. Betty's plans for the future are known to all of us, so we all join in wishing her the best of luck. 26 Cloisterette Groce M. Reclcoy This charming, petite miss has been with us through our twelve years in school. Grace is a very sociable and well-liked person who takes an active part in various activities such as serving on the Mountaineer staff and participating in Girls, Club and Mixed Chorus. Her warm smile for everyone has captivated the hearts of all those who know her. We wish Grace the best of luck in anything she attempts and feel sure she will succeed. Peggy K. Rerminger Who is that attractive brunette commercial stu- dent? When one hears this phrase, you may be sure someone has had a glimpse of our Peggy. Peggy is blessed with an unbeatable personality which makes her one of the most popular girls of our class. Outside of school, Peggy may be found giving a good sales-talk to a customer at Givler's Grocery. Peggy's bound to be as successful and popular in whatever she attempts as she was in school. Ned A. Rettew There is never a dull moment when Ned is around. Without his amazingly clever side remarks, many classes would have been too dull to bear. Rat rep- resented E. H. S. on the gridiron during his Junior and Senior years and on the basketball court during his last three years. He is one of the leading nimrods of the class Cat least, that's what he saysj and his interest in outdoor life and love of animals will prob- ably spur him to become a veterinarian. Cloisterette 97 Fern Morceline Rudy Since we added this sprightly miss to our group in the fall of '42, she has contributed more than her share of laughter to brighten our days in E. H. S. Al- though she has taken an active part in the Girls' Club and Mixed Chorus, Fern's love for a good time comes second to school work, for she is studying and plan- ning a career in nursing. With her sociable nature and pleasing smile Fern will surely be a success in her chosen profession. Gertrude Phyliss Ruth 'KGert'y is one of the more attractive members of our class. With her beautiful, long, wavy tresses, she catches the glance of every eye. Her chatter is heard from the time one enters school until one leaves. By her witty conversation, Gertrude has won many a friend. Her friendly, helpful attitude and her ability to do a job well will enable her to succeed in whatever she may attempt. Phyllis W. Sorudoe Phyllis is a fun-loving girl who makes the trip from the top of Main Street twice each day. She has spent twelve years with us and we would hate to think of what our class would have been like without her frequent outbursts of laughter. Usually, after the bell has rung, you may see Phyllis walking noncha- lantly into her home room. With her sunny disposition Phyllis will certainly succeed as a dietician, her chosen profession. 28 Cloisterette Randolph Sechrist Randy is the smallest male member of our class. He will long be remembered for his tales about his hunting expeditions into the wide open spaces around Ephrata, as well as for his exploits as a member of the RiHe Club. Randy studied hard to pass his sub- jects in school. This habit of working hard to get something is one that will always be with him and will bring success to him in any field into which he may venture. Kathryn O. Sensenig Kathryn is a dependable commercial student who came to us from Reamstown in the seventh grade. She is a quiet, serious girl with a pleasing personality. Also she is a perfect example of the old saying, Silence is golden. Her cooperativeness and kindness have made her invaluable to all her classmates. When she at- tempts to do something, she sticks to it until it is completed. That is why we're so sure she'l1 be a success in future years. EorIWiIIic1rn Sheoffer Earl is the happy-go-lucky lad of our class whose spare time is usually spent out-of-doors. Not many of the boys in our class are as well qualified to name the various specimens of nature as Earl is. He spe- cializes in snakes and insects. When any pranks are being played on anyone around the school, you can be sure that Earl had something to do with it. Lots of luck to Daniel Boone's second. Cloisterette 99 Kathryn Louise Sh i rker Kathryn has been with us only three years, but during that time, we have come to recognize her as one of the intellectuals of our class. In her years at Frata High, she has set an example in studiousness which would be well for everyone to follow. Kathryn ' has chosen stenography for her profession, and, if she continues to do as capable work in her chosen career as she has in her school work, she is bound to be a success. Jean E. Showalter Jean is noted for and can easily be recognized by her flashing red hair. A quiet girl who takes things as they come-good, bad, easy or hard-Jean usually Hnds a way to solve all problems. Although we don't know much about her, there is one thing we are sure of-in her can be found a true friend. Her amiability will insure success for her no matter what she attempts in the future. it 's Nancy M. Smith si 35 Personality, intelligence, and capability are qualities 2 readily recognized in Mitty. She is one of the out- standing members of the class both in scholastic ability and in extra-curricular activities. Besides getting good enough marks to place her name high on the honor roll, Nancy also found time to serve as a mem- ber of both the HCLOISTERETTEH staff and the band, and as secretary of the class in our Junior year. Her desirable attributes of character should take her a long way up the ladder of success. 30 the future. Fred Fry Uibel Fred started school in Ephrata, but moved away from us in the fourth grade. Finding his new home very dull, he returned to Ephrata in eighth grade and was welcomed by all. Since then he has served faith- fully on the stage crew. Fritz has uncanny accu- racy when it comes to removing the exact center from a target, and, because of this, he served as president of the Rifle Club in our Senior year. His main inter- ests are in mathematics and science. Cloisterette Herbert R. Stiefel 'Alf you want to see a good showg Then to the Main or the Roxy go. This seems to be Herb's theme song. But beneath this good-natured plugging of his dad's theatre is a likeable chap whose studiousness and humor are the envy of many of us. Many are the times when we have been seized with laughter at one of Herb's im- promptu wisecracks. Best of luck to the Einstein of William J. Weber If you were asked to name the most talented young man in our class, without a doubt you would have to say Bill Weber. Whatever you want to discuss- sports, music or scholastic achievement-Bill has ex- celled in all of these. He stars in basketball and has maintained an excellent record in the classroom. But music is his greatest talent. Many of the county's finest orchestras have sought his services. So with his licorice stick by his side, Bill is destined to achieve early fame. Cloisterette 31 Robert Londis Wechter Robert is the somewhat shy lad who commutes daily from Lincoln to E. H. S. to acquire his share of knowl- edge. K'Wechter is rarely seen in the companionship of a member of the opposite sex. He is one of the sportsminded fellows of the class, placing special em- phasis on baseball. During a world series Bob is an authority on who got how many hits, etc. His quiet, reserved manner and friendliness are an assurance of success in whatever he may attempt. L Golen J. Weidman From the time he was a member of the Duke Street Sluggers until he became co-captain of the 1945 grid- iron squad, Fat,s favorite hobby has always been football. He is rated by Coach Male as one of the greatest guards ever to play for E. H. S. Galie also served as Secretary-Treasurer of the RiHe Club, Secre- tary of the Hi-Y, and Treasurer of our Junior Class. In the future, he will probably teach school along with his duties as a football coach. Rolph S. Weist K'Weisty, as Ralph is better known, became a mem- ber of our class in ninth grade, hailing from Clay. In the four years he has been with us he has acquired the reputation of being one of our shyest members. How- ever, it has been rumored that he is a far cry from this when found in his inner circle of friends. He is an ardent sports fan, centering his interests around baseball. Cloisterette I-Iorlon J. Weit Weity is the happy-go-lucky guy of our class. The halls and classrooms of E. H. S. certainly would not be the same if it were not for Weity's hysterical laugh, so familiar to all of us. Some day we expect to see a sign reading H, J. Weit, Jeweler. This is his chosen vocation and he is well on the road that leads to success. He is employed in one of the local jewelry stores and attends a summer school in this field. Irene Wildy . When anyone talks about Irene, invariably a dis- cussion of her beautiful singing voice pops into the conversation. For she created a minor sensation throughout the school with her fine vocal talent. But don't think that Irene's attributes stop at that point. Tall, vivacious, comely, are only a few of the many adjectives which could be used to describe her. Wheth-- er she chooses a career on the stage or in any other Held, Irene is sure 'to be blessed with success. Mo ry Jone Wise Janie came to us from Bethlehem in our Senior year and has been a welcome asset to the class ever since. Her lovely blonde hair is the envy of all her girl friends and the source of attraction for all the young men of the class. Although she is rather quiet, she is nevertheless friendly and dependable. She has chosen clerical Work for a career, and aided by her pleasing disposition she should have no trouble get- ting the best job obtainable. Cloisterette 33 Fern Mildred Witmer Number, Please. This is Fern's familiar phrase heard by many people as they lift the receiver. As a telephone operator, she sounds like a quiet, shy miss, but after being acquainted with her only a few mo- ments, you find, on the contrary, that she is a very jovial and mischievous person. Since her first day at 'Tratai' High, she has gained a host of friends, and in the future we know she will gain many more with her pleasing personality. Paul Gene Witmer This dashing young Casanova joined the class of H469 in its freshman year. He appears to make dating girls his principal pastime and hobby. Aside from this he has chosen a career in the business world and department store. With his easy-going manner and de- termination as some of his outstanding traits he will certainly attain the apex of his chosen career. Bessie Jone Woolger Bessie is a shy, courteous, and studious girl, noted for her pleasing personality, her long brown hair, and her dainty dimples. She is earnest and conscientious in everything she undertakes, and the course she chose in school was no bed of roses, for Bessie was one of the few girls who took all the so-called tough courses and, what's more, made a go of them. ,Best of luck to you in whatever you attempt in the future. Cloisterette Fern Lucille Yoder Fern is one girl who can certainly be called our friend. She is always willing to help others, and al- though she seems to be very quiet, she hides a pile cf dynamite behind her serene countenance. She is a fun-loving lass who puts special emphasis on her danc- ing. Her smile and dimples win your heart in a mo- ment. Her chosen career of nursing will present many opportunities for her to win friends. . Dorothy Irene Zug In our Sophomore year, Akron sent us this serious and sincere student. Within a period of only a few days, it seemed as though Dot had always been one of us. Her appealing smile has become a trade mark, and if you have never seen her blush, you are missing her most outstanding mannerism. Every day she can be seen driving a group of girls from Akron to E. H. S. With her pleasant manner and originality she is sure to win success. Ermo Floy Zwolly Erma came to spend her last three years with us. She is a quiet and an extremely good-natured girl, who, although rather serious about her studies, never- theless believes in having a good time. Erma is most often seen driving a car-load of girls to and from school. She is planning a career in business, and our acquaintance with her has shown us that she will succeed.

We became acquainted with many pupils from the rural districts who came to Ephrata High to complete their studies. Our class was represented on the Mountaineer,' staff and the J -V basketball team. At first we were not accustomed to the ways of the upper-classmen, but it didn't take us long to catch on. SOPHOMORE YEAR After a vacation that seemed much too short, we re-entered school to begin our Sophomore year with an enrollment of 118. We were very eager as sophomores to par- ticipate in all the extra-curricular activities, Girls' Club, Rifle Club, Hi-Y, Mixed Chorus, and Band. Several of our number displayed their journalistic ability on the Mountaineer staff. Betty Ream represented the Sophomore class on the dance committee, which took care of the year's social functions. Galie Weidman, Ed Erb, and Dodo Mellinger ably rep- resented our class on the football team, Ned Rettew and Mellinger on the basketball team. Ronnie Levitan and Mike Mull served as efficient managers of the football team. JUNIOR YEAR Our Junior year began with the election of our first class officers: William Weber, presidentg Robert Good, vice-president, Nancy Smith, secretary, and Galen Weidman, treasurer. Several of the boys comprised an essential part of the football team which de- feated our bitter rival, Lititz, by a score of 6-0, gaining the Ephrata-Lititz trophy for our school. Among the year's outstanding social events was the Junior Prom. On the night of April 27, the gym was transformed magically into an attractive ballroom, which, with the soft, romantic music of Johnny Weise, made our prom Cin our estimationj one of the most beautiful and successful ever held. The Junior class picnic, held at Gerhartis Park on May 30, was an event well worth remembering, and everyone had a good time. SENIOR YEAR The fall of 1945 found us coming back through the familiar portals, ready for our last memorable year. We got into the swing of things, and our fighting eleven, capably led by our co-captains, Galie Weidman and Tex'i Erb, brought us smashing victories. We elected the following officers to serve us during our busiest and best year: Ronald Levitan, president, Lewis Bowman, vice-presidentg Doris Nies, secretaryg and Shirley Harter, treasurer. Cherry red and white were selected as our class colors, and we pur- chased caps, pennants and emblems. The yearbook staff was appointed and worked diligently to have the HCLOISTER- ETTEH completed by the end of the term. Our basketball team, captained by Dodo Mellinger, came through with thirteen vic- tories and only seven defeats. On May 3, the Senior Class was guest of the Class of '47 at the annual Junior Prom. The last few weeks were spent in feverish preparation for the climax of our school days. Programs were planned for the Baccalaureate Service, Class Day, and Commencement. On May 31 we left the well-known halls and classrooms of F rata Hi no longer undergraduates. After four years of work and fun, our class was ready to accept the opportunities and problems of the postwar world.

Cloisterette PROP!-IECY TIME: MAY 18, 2028 I, the sole survivor of the Class of 1946 of Ephrata High School, now passing the milestone of my 100th birthday, and realizing that my time upon this earth is short, am possessed with a burning desire to record for posterity the sundry fates of my now deceased classmates, lest their unforgettable achievements be interred unrecognized in the ever- shifting mass of humanity. Fifty years ago the world was stunned by the epoch-making events instigated by the illustrious members of the Class of '46. Ned Clim on the wagonb Rettew, billionaire phil- anthropist, who had completely monopolized the beverage industry, was dedicating his entire fortune to the amelioration of the community of Rettewsboro, Cformerly Ephrata.D The eminent architect, Albert Mellinger, put his creative genius to work for the refreshment tycoon in designing a magnificent 310,000,000 school building, a civic center of indescribable beauty, and a municipal park covering several hundred acres. July 15, 1978 was set aside as the day for the prodigious dedication services. The Glee Club of the Edwin Erb Junior High School, constructed in memory of the famed soil conservationist who perished in the turnip termite plague of 1967, presented a masterful mid-morning concert under the direction of Miss LaRue Griesemer, directress of vocal music at the school. Miss Darlene Good, daughter of the famous concert pianist, Robert E. Good, and his wife, formerly Miss Betty Ream, featured the program with a brilliant rendition of the aria, I Am to Me Everything, composed by Willis Hackmanowski, well-known com- poser, and conducter of the Rettewsboro Philharmonic Orchestra. Accompanying the group was Miss Doris Nies, a graduate of the Juliard School of Music, and at present, instructress of piano technique at the same school. At the conclusion of the concert, luncheon was served at the elite Swan Club, owned and operated by Fern Rudy in partnership with Fern Yoder. A sumptuous repast was prepared by Monsieur John Demme, world-renowned French chef, and served with ex- quisite taste by a carefully trained group of waiters, under the expert supervision of Ralph Weist, head waiter, while the clientele was entertaind by the hilarious comedy team, Lou Hoffman and Bud Hornberger. In the afternoon the scene of activity shifted to the huge plexiglas-enclosed stadium, filled to capacity with an assemblage of 200,000. Lewis Bowman, Mayor of the fair metropolis, introduced Grantland Levitan, distinguished sports writer, who, after a brief three-hour speech, tossed out the first baseball as Manager Mike Mull led his Rettewsboro Rascals in an exhibition game against the New York Yankees Star of the contest was Randy Lerch, Rettewsboro shortstop who won the tussle with a lusty home run. Observed at the game were Snookie Fry and Gloria Beck, co-coaches of the world's championship girls' basketball team, and Shorty Eichelberger, business manager of the same organization. Also there were Nancy Kreider, official league statistician, Galie Weid- man, highly successful coach of the local high school team, Fay Phillips, physical education instructress at the high school, and Bob Wechter, scout for the Philadelphia A's.,' On the way up town after the game, the crowd passed various business places bearing familiar names. First to catch the eye was the newly-built department store, Witmer, Roebuck 8z Company, where, on a 59th floor oflice, Paul's competent clerical staff was busy at work. Included in this group were Betty Lou Brendle, Janice Hauck, Betty Beall, Janice Palm, Neita Corl, Ruth Keller, Mary Jane Wise, Margaret Martin, and Betty Lutz. Next door, Nancy Smith, post mistress, and Erma Zwally, her assistant, could be seen in the ultra- modern post ofiice, while across the street, in f'Ye Olde Candy Shoppe, Eleanor McVey was cooking up a new batch of sweets. Cloisterette Farther up the avenue, Harlan Weit, owner of the local jewelry store, and his as- sistants, Fern Witmer and Kathryn Shirker, were occupied waiting on a multitude of cus- tomers. Next to be passed was Peach Brossman's super-market, where Kathryn Sen- senig was waiting on Bessie Woolger and Anetta Gettle, missionaries home for the first time in twenty years. Carter's Pharmacy, which occupied a place of prominence on the corner, seemed to be a hub-bub of activity. Out front, Speed Carter, owner of the establishment, was con- versing with Charles Kochel II, local politician, and Elias Leisey, Jr., president of the International Railroad Lines, while inside, Evelyn Graybill and Thelma Constantine were making super-sodas for Sara Ann Neff and Grace Redcay, co-editors of the widely-perused magazine, 'iBetter Homes and Husbands. At a nearby table, Peggy Renninger, Floss Hersh and Shirley Harter, feature writers for the magazine, were going over the clay's events with Virginia Heister, Dot Hummer and Jean Showalter, members of the advisory staff of the publication. In a corner booth, Gert Ruth and Polly Enck, owners of the local beauty salon, were gossiping with Rose Burkholder, society columnist for the K'Daily Chronicle. The only familiar face missing from the busy down-town scene was that of Robert Herzer, internationally-known chemist, who had been seriously injured in an atomic- explosion in his laboratory. However, a quick glance at Rettewsbords dazzling white hos- pital revealed beyond doubt that he was receiving excellent care under the supervision of head nurse Margaret Fake. Her efficient corps of nurses included Elva Himelright, Doris Dunkerley, Alice Lane, and Dorothy Zug. A performance by the Rettewsboro Philharmonic Orchestra brought the day's festivi- ties to a brilliant climax. William Weber directed the orchestra masterfully in his capacity as guest conductor. The highlight of the program was the aria from Il Traviataf' sung by Irene Wildy, lyric soprano. Immediately after the concert Herbert Steifel, Hollywood's best-known producer, and Fred Uibel, jovial cinema director, accompanied Miss Wildy to the filmland capital where she was soon to star in a musical production. Among the not- ables in the audience were Virginia Kemp, first woman senatorg Randy Sechrist and Earl Sheaffer, big game hunters just back from Darkest Africa, Phyllis Sandoe, dieticiang Marie Mondo, home economistg Marian Kilhefner, owner of a nation-wide chain of helicopter filling stations, and Rosalie Kilhefner, proprietress of The Curio Shoppef' That memorable day was brought to a fitting close by a reception given for the Class of 746 at the luxurious Rettew Mansion.

The Derrmen came out victor- ious in all their independent games with the exception of one, and piled up six wins against six losses in county league competition, to Hnish the season holding down third place. Next year, the team will be without the services of Captain Dodo Mellinger, who was chosen on the all-county team this season, as well as Ned Rettew, Bill Weber, Mike Mull, and Feet Levitan.

Junior High School basketball was put on a major scale again this year after a three- year period of absence. Under the tutelage of Coach Brown, the locals won five games and lost a like number, despite their lack of height which placed them under a great handicap. Outstanding victory of the season was the 24-20 triumph registered over Lancaster Township, the first defeat sustained by the latter cage squad in 39 starts.

Aided by the persevering help of Miss Weidman, the hard-working staff succeeded in producing a better edition each month, despite the fact that all sorts of obstacles had to be surpassed.
