Englert L. Weaver Motto - Out of school liteg into lite's school TIME MARC!-IES ON ! Y! Time! Four years of it! September '43 marked the beginning of our high school days in Ephrata High. Many students from the rural area joined us in our freshman year. We had a great feeling of importance but learned that we were really quite unimportant in the eyes of the upper classmen. Our class contributed its share to extra-curricular activities, such as the UMountaineer staff, Glee Club and Band. Many boys went out for football in which John Krouse and John Englert received their varsity letters. We were also proud to be repre- sent-ed on the Varsity Basketball team by John Krouse and Jack Bryson. A fleeting summer vacation went by and f'time again brought us to a winter of activity. Our class oilicially became members of Ephrata High School as we entered school in our first year of senior high. Although the term was rather dead we will always remember our sophomore English classes as a high spot in our activities, especially since we celebrated the Christmas Holidays with a party-soft drinks and all that adds to 71 party! Many of us could now enter the other branches of extra-curricular activities such as Girls' Club, Hi-Y, Mixed Chorus and Rifle Club. The f'Mountaineer staff was also represented by our class. A few more boys went out for football and basketball, among whom Ted Badorf, Henner Weaver, John Krouse and Jack Bryson were found very active. Johnny Krouse scored the winning touchdown in the thrilling Ephrata-Lititz game, which was one of the outstanding games that year, while Ted Badorf knocked down a Lititz pass in our end zone in the dying seconds of the game, which protected our lead. So coming into senior high a new social -life opened for us, and we took our places in the life of our school. Once again time moved forward, elevating us to new heights in the society of our Alrna Mater, and we began to glimpse that glorious goal ahead. The Junior Class was well represented in the numerous activities that floated about E. H. S. The grid ensemble for the year 1945 found a dazzling backfield combination which featured Johnny Krouse, Jack Bryson, Leroy Callihan, Henner', Weaver, Spec Sweigart and Johnny Orwig. In the lin-e one found Ted Badorf, Johnny Englert, Nevin Brugger and Glenn Zug performing valiant service. Likewise the basketball squad consisted of many promising juniors that would form a nucleus for a great future squad. Other organizations in which the juniors were plentiful were the Hi-Y, Girls' Club, Mixed Chorus, Boys' Rifle Club as well as a Girls' Rifle Club. and a few junior boys could be found in the newly formed Aeronautics Club. The year of 1945, during the fall, found our class beginning to form an organiza- tion. Leroy Callihan was elected the first class president, Jack Bryson was the vice presi- dent, while Esther Horst served as secretary and Henner Weaver became treasurer, During the spring of the t-erm our class visited the Moyer Knitting Mill and ex- perienced the methods by which such a mill is operated. The outstanding feature of the term was no doubt the Junior Prom when many of the junior intellects and architects transformed the gymnasium into a glorious 'tropical garden where juniors and seniors spent a night, which they will long remember. As time marched on, suddenly we discovered ourselves back in our good Alma Mater, feeling supreme because we were Seniors. As the first day was completed, we viewed our year's curriculum hopefully. It wasn't long afterwards that we enthusiastically elected Senior Class officers, and ordered felt goods. The class colors, flower and motto were also selected. ' Our 'fMountaineers were virtually stars on the gridiron, winning eight out of the nine games and capturing four trophies plus the memorable Lititz football Cwhich in itself is a prizej. Jack Chick Bryson and Lamar 'fHenner Weaver were the co-captains of this group. Another important part in school was the basketball. Many of the senior fellows participated in the activity. With the return of Mr. Metzler, the Dramatic Club was organized and became known as the Frata Footlightersf' Again this year the Mountaineer was issued as a printed paper with fourteen members of our class taking part in its activities. Perhaps the activity which will have the most interest in the future years at E, H. S. is the Student Council, headed by John Krouse. Other members representing our class were John Orwig, James Loose, John Englert, Esther Horst, Patricia Templin and Erla Mae Weist. . We were relieved from our studies by Thanksgiving vacation and Christmas vaca- tion. Entering the New Year we came forth with new resolutions to study until the end of the last year. But intervening matters, as basketball games and the band concert changed our plans. The time ran on and with it came the customary Class Day Play, Baccalaureate and Commencement. After we received those papers, which we had longed for the past twelve years, we left the doors of E. H. S. and stepped into the future. G wJ gi V Theodore T. Bodorf, Jr. This tall, handsome caballero of our class, has been with us since the outset of our school life. His fine pass-receiving ability has made many an almost- lost football game turn out victorious for the Moun- taineers. This is to say nothing of his outstanding agility on the basketball court. K'Ted has always maintained a fine scholastic record proving his ability in both fields. We, the class of '47, wish you, Ted, the greatest success possible in future years. Dolores J. Booth Dolores joined us from East Cocalico in our sopho- more year. She is an able commercial student who has shown her skill as a typist by typing forlthe HCLOIS- TERETTEY' Her flashing smile and long brown tresses have helped brighten up many a classroom. We, the class of '47, feel sure that you, Dolores, will be a success in your chosen vocation, stenography. Annette June Bornmon Hast anyone heard a laugh in the hall coming from a pert brunette? Ah yes! It's that new senior from Allentown. With her lack of stature she also brought the name Shorty, Annette immediately adjusted her- self to our school and our ways. Without this small addition the 1947 class would not have been complete. Music has occupied much of her time. Best of every- thing to you, Shortyf' ' Brossy was inherited by our class from Berg- Q U l 0' 3 . .f ly' I. Dolores R. Boyer Dolores is another of the original first grade crowd, Ever since we can rem-ember, we think of her as the dancer of our class. She can often be found bubbling over with laughter, and she seems to take life as a song. Whether she picks secretarial work or dancing as her career, she is bound to reach success by her pleasing personality. Jomes W. Brill Have you ever seen a lineman become a versatile back in one game? If you haven't you missed the event of the year, for in our last game Jim played a line position and the four backfield positions. Ask him sometime to give you the details. Although he is unenthusiastic about school work, you can always ex- pect to have a lot of fun when he is in the crowd. May the future bring you success in whatever field you choose, Jim. Joy G. Brossmon strasse. He brought with him a good nature, sincerity and diligence which have made him a friend to all. Classes would be incomplete without J ay's horse laugh and his ability to unnerve teachers with his clever remarks. He will surely be successful in whatever he does, be it engineering or something else. - G G g, 1 an ' I Q We 4 fffszgiij I-Iorold Brubaker Did I hear a horse laugh coming from Room 9? It must be Butch. This dashing Romeo has displayed his talents in the band by playing the bass horn. Per- haps you have seen a crowd gathered around a cartoon that was drawn by Butch. This art was displayed in the Mountaineer. One of his favorite antics is jitter- bugging with one of his orwn sex. May the best be given to you in whatever you may attempt, Butch. Nevin K. Brugger This witty young man has been the life of many a party in our twelve years in school. Nevin, a mag- ician extraordinary, has entertained us in many chapel programs with his powers of magic. He was a mem- ber of the football squad and centainly contributed his share in making a victorious team. Lots of luck and success to you, Nevin. You will surely succeed in whatever you may attempt. Borbord Ann Brunner Bibs is one of the peppiest gals in our class. She has proved that by serving as co-captain of cheer- leaders leading our teams to victory for the past two years. She 'has ably helped in many activities, including business manager on the CLOISTERETTE staff. Dancing is her leading interest, and her feet are al- ways seen moving arofund the dance Hoor. Together with her high scholastic ability and her get up and go attitude, we're sure Bibs will succeed in her chosen field, merchandising. list l Jock J. Bryson Of course everyone knows Jack, co-captain of our championship football team. Not only was Jack capable on the gridiron, but he also served the basketball team faithfully. Jack will always be remembered by his classmates for his pep and for the excitement of which he was' the instigator in many a class. We all realize his capabilities for success by the splendid work he did as vice president of the Junior class and as sales manager of the HCLOISTERETTE? Clifford W. Bu rkhort 'fSee that target he shot? 'tHe made a perfect 100-10x scoref' Well, when we hear a conversation similar to the one above, we are quite sure that they are talking about our Cliff. Because of his keen eye and faithfulness, he was elected president of the Rifle Club at the outset of his senior year. This Akronite not only proved himself an asset to our class on the rifie range but also in his scholastic work and pro- viding transportation for some of his fellow Akron- ites. We, the class of '47, wish you the most success possible in life. Robert Leroy Collihon Cally, one of the tall, handsome casanovas of our class, came to us in our freshman year, bringing with him an ample supply of personality, leadership, and sportsmanship, He has proved his leadership serv- ing as president of our Junior class and the Master of Ceremonies for our Junior Prom. Cally is a friend to everyone, and his popularity has been sup- ported by the fact that he is a varsity member of the football team. Basing our theory on the above facts, we feel confident of his success in life. C wJ l Pouline Esther Cooper Polly is a very small quiet girl with a rather regal air about her. She has a pretty smile and a Calm competent way about her that will help her to succeed in everything she does. She is a commercial student- her favorite subject. shorthand. The sports K'Porlly enjoys are swimming, roller skating and volley ball. She 'hopes to go into secretarial work, wherein she will be sure to succeed. Groce L. Demmy Need a baby-sitter? Call Grace. She-'s had plenty of experience taking care of her baby sister. Or does any business man need a secretary? He'll find glamour and competence all rolled into one in our Grace. Then again, she could get into the ice follies, for skating is her hobby and she is a whiz at it! Well, whatever career she might choose we all know she'll be a success. Ruth Elizabeth Diem Five foot two, eyes of blue and Good things come in small packages, both were written just for our Diemie. This petite lass, who is a commercial student. hails from the metropolis of Brickerville. At a first glance, one gets the impression of a quiet and shy maiden, but after speaking with her for a few minutes, you find her to be very fun-loving and care- free- TO' you, Elizabeth, we wish loads of success in whatever you attempt. Xml. , vw my-' ,M M .---7: 'vi fyfk Elto Morie Eitnier Elta, although seeming rather qui-et on the surface, can prove to be a gay conversationalist. One can often see her driving her green Pontiac with a group of girls in the car. She is always ready to lend a helping hand and is a real friend for anyone to have. Elta has chosen a career of business so our wish for her from the class of '47 is success and happiness in whatever sh-e may attempt. Beverly Eloise Erick Beverly is that red-headed lass in our class who hails from the neighboring metropolis of Akron. She is a loyal member of the band, a clarinet player, who could be seen marching at all football games. For three years her pleasant soprano voice has graced the Mixed Chorus. While taking a generalized course here in Frata Hi, Beverly hopes to go to college, in order to take up music as a career. Wewish you the greatest possible success! John L. Englert John is known as one of our most brilliant and intellectual students. especially in the field of foreign languages. His great popularity was one of the rea- sons he was chosen by us as president in our senior year. He is always ready to give a word of advice to anyone on any subject. He has served faithfully for four years on the varsity football squad and has en- tertained us many times during the last four years as a member of the boys' quartet. His work as a member of the student council may be commended. His great ambition and remarkable personality plus his versatile abilities, will surely take him up the ladder of success in whatever field he may choose. O g 1 If -0. Vg . ffl Morion A. Ensinger Quietness and ambition describe Marian to a UT. She is one of the few members of our class who seems to enjoy studying. Silence is Golden could be her motto, but don't let that make you think that she doesn't talk at all. Getting into a conversation with her is an interesting and enlightening experience. She intends to either enter linotype school or to continue in bindery work. In either she's certain to succeed. Bloine Fronk Fobion Here is a fellow that words can hardly describe. To say that he has been a great asset to our class would be a gross understatement. Vim, vigor, vitality, personality and school spirit have been crowded into this fellow, little in stature but great in ability. He has faithfully served our school as editor-in-chief of the 4'Mountaineer and MCLOISTERETTEU as well as a member of the Hi-Y. Blaine has clearly proven the old adage Good things come in small bundles. We, the class of '47, are sure he will succeed in his journalistic career. Rosabel Irene Foltz This brown-eyed member of our class came to us from that nearby thriving city of Akron. Since her arrival here. Rosabel has established herself as one of the artists of our class. She has ably served the Mountaineer as staif artist and has been a loyal member of the special art class. We all remember those beautiful paintings of hers which decorated the gym fOr 0'-11' Prom last year. We wish you all the success in the world, Rosabel. U Q . .Q 0' 1 f 5 . I 1: l. Betty L. Fritz Betty was one of us since our first year in school. When a crowd of girls is heard laughing vigorously, you may be sure Betty has just told one of her latest jokes. She is always ready to help a friend when in trouble. She will, without a doubt, attain success in her chosen field of secretarial work. Idcl Ann Fry Although shy when she first came to us from Bergstrasse, Ida Ann has blossomed into one of the most talkative girls of the senior class. Her 'lcrushesu and after school affairs have been as notorious as those of Lana Turner. Ida Ann is a girl of many talentsg sketching, music and journalism to name a few. Look out Cornell, here comes Ida Ann with what it tal-:es to put Ephrata on the map. Mortho Louise Gorrett Marty, one of the few courageous souls who braved the Latin course for four years, has been with us since the beginning of our school life. This attrac- tive brunette represented our class in the Band and Mixed Chorus and also did a fine job as a member of the HCLOISTERETTEH staff. Martha possesses a fine sense' of humor, personality and school spirit that has made her a great asset to our class. We feel very con- fident that l'Marty will find success in whatever pro- fession she may choose. G Vp f '19 Patricia Ruth Gehr Bergstrasse contributed this worthy addition to our class in our freshman year. Many a town and city remembers that blonde majorette from Ephrata who handled the baton so well in the parades. She is noted for her musical ability, personality plus, and serene blue eyes. Her various honors have been secured by hard work, and we wish her success in all her under- takings. Jacob Gerhart Although Jacob isn't often heard, he is certainly well-liked by all who know him. J acob's interests out- side of school, run mostly in the sports line. However, in school he is one of those high-ranking students in the class of '47. For that reason, Jacob is seen studying rather than spending his time in all the extra-cur- ricular activities. With his ability to get ahead, it's unnecessary to state that he'll succeed. Pauline D. Good Here is a girl who is bound to be somebody's sec- retary. Polly has been with us since ninth grade when she came from Bergstrasse school. Her jolly, sincere manner has won for her a host of friends. From our knowledge of her, we know she will not be dis- couraged easily, and will work until her goal is attained. fiff' Virginia H. Gooding Although Ginniel' just joined our ranks this year, on the Hrst day she became one of us. Her quiet, un- assuming manner, beautiful clothes and detailed an- swers in chemistry class made her a striking person. As a member of the Constitution and By-Laws Com- mittee for the Dramatic Club, she has certainly added her bit to the foundations of that group. We all know that Ginnie will succeed in her chovs-en profession, and the class of '47 wishes her all the luck in the world. Betty .lone Griffith Friendliness and dependability are two nouns which portray our Betty. Although rather quiet on the surface, she is really a friend, and is always ready to help others. As a commercial student, Betty has always been very industrious, keeping her scholastic stand- ings high. We, the Senior Class, wish you, Betty, as much success in life as you had in school. Robert Lee Hocker Bob, a jolly good fellow, is the spark of the class, noted for his corny ad-libs and spontaneous wise cracks. He is destined to be one of these gay tars with a sweetheart in every port, for his personality at- tracts females by the score. His interest in everything, accompanied by his more than average good nature will see him through life with gratifying results. 9 9 O V4 1 Q1 gi . - - 1 Fronk Roymond Hous, Jr. Perhaps the question most commonly heard from seniors is, Are my pictures finished yet, Frank? Yes, that's Frank, our oiiicial photographer for the HCLOIS- TERETTEH and Mountaineer. Not only is Frank a whiz as a photographer, but he is also known as one of the brain boys of '47, especially in chemistry. Frank, as his classmates know, is not one to wait for his op- portunities, he goes to meet them. Keep at it, Frank! Betty Jone Henly Mary Jane is one of our more studious girls. She has shown her great scholastic ability in all her sub- jects and we have found her to be a whiz in all her commercial studies. She is a member of the Mixed Chorus and has a secret desire to become an accom- plished pianist. However, immediately after gradua- tion she is planning to become a stenographer. Through her pleasing personality, she will surely find her way to success in both fields. Robert Leroy Henly Henly is that happy-go-lucky, carefree, college- bound young man who hails from Clay. He has a high scholastic standing and is almost never seen without a library book. Bob is quite a comedian and is always surrounded by a 'large host of friends. With his never ending smile and excellent ability we know that he will reach his goal in life very easily. Y Ill' ,.,,... 'ittwiw' fn, it fmt, Clarence H. Hess Someone asks, Who is that quiet fellow over there? Quiet? That's Clarence. Just wait until he gets started. Truer words were never spoken of our class wit. Clarence can keep an audience rolling in the aislesv if he desires or be as quiet and studious as a little mouse. His humor and jokes have kept many classes alive. This Akronite was a valuable addition tor our class, and we certainly couldn't have done without him. Good luck, Clarence, in whatever you may attempt. E. Violet Hockmon When First meeting Violet, one gets the impression of a quiet girl. Contrary to all facts, she has proven herself quite capable of holding her end of a conver- sation any day. Not only is Violet noted for her friendly manner, but also for her neatness. She can always be seen with a host of friends. Violet served E. H. S. as a flag swinger in the Band, a member of the Mixed Chorus, as well as doing a good job on the UCLOISTERETTEU staff. F. Lucile Hoffman Louie's pet ambition is to study home economics, at which she will surely succeed. with her friendly way and pleasing personality. Har lovely blonde hair could cause her to be known as The Blonde of the Class of '47. Huh? is her favorite expression, and keeping an up to date record collection is her favorite hobby. To a very nice blonde, the class of '47 wishes lots of luck and success in the future. a Va! 1 23 Esther Groce Horst Vim, vigor and vitality summarize this bundle of pep. Corky is famous county-wide as co-captain of the Ephrata High cheer leaders. Many an Ephrata game has been boosted by her lusty shouts. Her pleas- ant nature, high scholastic standing, and cordial man- ner have made 'her one of the best liked girls of our class. This year she served as one of the senior repre- sentatives of the newly formed Student Council. We wish success to a true friend, in any undertaking she may choose. Mory Ellen Kouffmon Mary Ellen is one of the members of our class who is small in stature, but who was around when gray matter was handed out. She has a special talent for library work, helping keep files straight and attend- ance records accurate. All winter she was an able as- sistantvto Miss Hoover in the public library. We all hope you make the fastest possible progress in your chosen field, Mary Ellen, as you will be a valuable asset to any library. Jorme D. Keller Ah yes, Jane! A flash of a green Chevrolet, twink- ling blue eyes, a hearty laugh, a grand sense of humor -this is the recipe for Jane. Besides all this, throw in the offices of senior class secretary, an associate editor of the Mountaineer, also typist for the NCLOISTER- ETTE, and yo'u have a very busy and popular girl. Yet, Jane executed these duties faithfully and excelled in all of them. Her scholastic ability is rated high, and we all know she will succeed in her chosen career, business. Good luck to a grand girl. Q U -U g'. 'B QU Q4 1122? John E. Kilhefner Chub has more girls gazing starry-eyed at him than any other fellow in our class. He always seems to be jolly and happy go lucky. It is impossible for any class to be dull if Chub is close by with his jokes and laughter. If blushing is a forerunner of success, we know that John will have no trouble in his future life. John M. Krouse A A varsity football and basketball man, that's Krouse. He's the guy you see at football games doing that beautiful job of field running. Krouse is equally at home on the basketball Hoor, having also played varsity basketball. He loyally served the band with his trusty Cornet. But that's not all. Johnny ranks among the highest of his class in scholastic standing and has capably served as president of the Student Council as well as business manager of the UCLOISTERETTEY' Best of luck, John, in your career as a doctor. Wolter S. Kulp i'Kulpie is one of the quieter, but nevertheless still important, members of our class. The statement one swell fellow fits him to a T, Many times we saw him coming to school in this 1934 Chevy coupe together with his buddies. Kulpie,s congenial smile Ceven when he breaks a test tube in chemistryb has become oneof the many attributes for which we re- spect him. Whatever Walter plans to do after gradua- tion, we, as a class, are sure he will find success. G i to -0. L va Cloir T. Lousch Quiet, girl-shy, always gloomy are words that do not describe Clair Lausch. Even if Dusty appears on the bashful side the first time you meet him. do not be misled, for behind those sleepy eyes there's mischief a-brewing. Although full of fun he is a sticker when studying is needed and can often be found pondering over a formula or equation. Clair's cheerful disposition and take life as it comes attitude will put him in the front in whatever he undertakes. Shirley Ann Leomon Shirley, one of our attractive senior blondes, came to E. H. S. during our freshman year from the Metropolis,' of Lincoln. Shirley has proven herself a valuable asset to our class both in scholastic stand- ings and in extra curricular activities, serving as a flag twirler in the band, member of the Mountaineer staff and artist of our MCLOISTERETTE. She is one of the few girls who braved the physics and geometry courses and came out successfully. Basing our theory on past facts, we feel confident of her future success in life. Pouline M. Lewis Yes, Pauline may be quiet and seldom ever heard, but don't let that fool you. She's a bundle of excite- ment and fun. Polly can usually be seen somewhere or other in the halls of E, H. S. Pauline spent most of her extra-curricular activity time on the Girls' Rifle Club. With her cheerful personality and her neat appearance, she is sure to gain great success. J F. Jomes Loose Jim, the baby of our class, makes up in in- telligenc-e what he lacks in age. An all-around fellow, Jim came to us from Hopeland, in our freshman year and from then on the intelligence of our class zoomed. Although rather quiet, Jim can talk when the occa- sion arises as exhibited when he became a cheerleader in his senior year and helped lead the teams to victory through hours of practice and hard work. Lots of luck and happiness in your chosen profession, Jim. You deserve the best. Normon L. Miller Norman might be called a star-gazer as his main interest is astronomy. He is very versatile, having among his varied interests novel writing, classifying music, playing football and traveling. Quietness, stu- diousness, dreaminess and ambition are his main char- acteristics. His main ambition is to travel around the world. As yet, he hasn't chosen any profession. Surely some day after he has made his choice he will climb high on the ladder of success. Williom R. Mink Bi11,' came to us in our freshman year from Berg- strasse School. In those four years we have discovered a quiz kid in the subjects of literature and history. He is, without a doubt, our greatest reader and has proven this by his fine book reviews in the Moun- taineer With his interests mainly in literature, he is bound to succeed in his chosen career, that of being a librarian. G Vg Robert E. Musser Although Bob is not a member of the football or basketball team, he is well known for his exceptional talent as a drummer in the band. Of course, when you see Bob, you usually see a Studebaker. Many fellows of Frata High are envious of Bob for his wavy hair. Although Bob may seen very conservative, the fellow classmen know that he's lots of fun. John P. Orwig It's a common fact that everyone in the senior class holds their breathe as John writes, for they're afraid he'll bite his tongue off. Yes, that's John, always going too fast. He may go too fast, but he certainly manages to keep his name well up on the list of honor students. Wiggy is also a noted personality around school for his active services on the football team. John has the wonderful quality of making friends fast, and certainly is heading for success. Peggy Anne Peiffer For twelve years we've seen 'iPeg's smiling face inside our classrooms. She's certainly been an asset to our class. Study halls lost their dullness when Peg was sitting nearby to entertain her classmates. When not in school, she can quite often be found at Carter's making some delicious banana split sundaes or choco- late frosts. With that pleasing personality, Peggy, We know you'll climb to the very top rung on the ladder of success. fjgfff Jeon M. Pierce Throughout our twelve years of school everyone has found Jean to be a grand friend. She seems to be rather quiet, but below the surface lies plenty of fun and laughter. She uses the well-known slogan, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, as her motto. Her desire is to become a beautician. We are sure she will succeed. Phyllis S. Robolcl Whiz - Hey! Watch out. - there's a blue Ford swinging around the corner with Phis at the wheel, sporting her characteristic dare-devil smile. Besides being a crack driver, she keeps the intermural basket- ball teams buzzing with her brilliant playing. She's as good at candy making and perhaps will make it her profession. More sweets to Ephrata when the Rabold Candy Emporia opens. Good luck to a future candy tycoon of Ephrata. Dolores Irene Rishel 'tRish is a hard-working commercial student who is always glad to type anything for a friend. She has shown her skill in that field by typing for the Moun- taineerf' Dolores is a carefree young lady, who has been with many of us in the Franklin school and high school classrooms for twelve years. We know that with her determination and ability in the commercial field she will be successful in the business world. Q 0 V4 Q9 Marie M. Root Marie is that blue-eyed, auburn haired baton- twirler who has been with us all of our twelve years. She has been a loyal member in mixed chorus, trios and sextets and has sung at many of our music fes- tivals. When the band marches in a parade, you will see Marie right in there twirling her baton. She was also one of those responsible for our choice of a class flower. The gift of gala is one of her main assets. We know she has what it takes to succeed in her chosen field of merchandising. Ethel Moy Royer Those witty quips in shorthand class couldn't come from anyone but Ethel. She has lots of vim, vigor and vitality, some of which she uses while working at Gates'. Ethel has an acute love for horses and goes riding quite a lot. Although she chose the commercial course, she is not quite sure what she'll do on leaving shool, but we know that with that cheery smile of hers success cannot help but come to her. Stanley M. Schwartz Have you seen that red streak followed by a whirling cloud off dust come careening down town? You can start breathing now, it was just Stan with his 46 Chevy.', Although noted for his brilliant and witty side remarks, we may rest assured that his keen mind and friendly nature toward everyone will lead him far on the road to success. fjif' Betty Irene Shonk Unassuming and shy, Betty appears to be one of the quieter members of our classg but learn to know her better and you will discover she talks and giggles continuously. Though seemingly shy, her per- severance and good nature make it impossible for her to be over looked. Itls people like Betty who get the most out of life. Whatever her life's work may be, we wish her loads of luck. Wilbur C. Spotts What could our class do without K'Spotts. Spottsy is one of those few fellows who can take a joke as well as he can give one. Seriously, this is one of the many reasons for which we all respect him. Wilbur did a fine job of representing our class in the band during the past years. He has, in addition, kept his scholastic standing high and brightened many of our class activities by his clever wit. With his con- genial mannerisms, we, the class of '47, are sure he will succeed. Lorraine Steinmetz Herbie has been with us since those days in the Washington school building. Our class will always re- member her for that magnificent art of cracking gum. Lorraine has participated in the Mixed Chorus. With- out this faithful member of the class, many joyous oc- casions would .not have occurred. Lorraine is always willing to aid anyone in need of laughter. The best of everything to you, Herbie Q IO Q V4 gi ug Glorio Stover Stover has been in our Ephrata classrooms for the past twelve years. She could be seen for the last two years faithfully wending her way to Stunzie's each- day after school. where she helped turn out war and peace products. Gloria was a commercial student but is undecided about her future. Whatever it turns out to be, we wish her lots of luck and success. Clyde Sweigort If you see a tiny fellow playing center for Eph- rata-that's Speck , If you see this tiny he-man play- ing forward on the basketball floor-itis still Speck',g He is known for his stature, his ability at athletics, for his characteristic puzzled expression with one eye- brow up in the air, and for breaking equipment in chemistry class. Heill probably live all his life as he plays football-to win. Roymond H. Sweigort Akron sent forth this young man to join us in ninth grade. Many of us, since then, have fallen prey to his many tricks, jokes and witty remarks. '4Swig is familiar to some of us as the ice man, to the rest of us, he is known as the theorem explainer in geom- etry class. To Swig go the best wishes of his class- mates. Q U il .I 0 Q 7 SV I Patricia Anne Templin 1 Tall, attractive, intelligent, too, this statement fits our Pat to the nth degree. Pat joined our class in eighth grade, bringing with her a dauntless schol- astic spirit which has remained manifested in our school. She did a fine job as associate editor of the A'Mountaineer, represented our school in the Band as a baton twirler, served in the Mixed Chorus and Student Council to say little of the line job she per- formed as a member of the UCLOISTERETTEH staff. Pat,' plans to make her profession in the field of journalism. We are sure she will continue to succeed just as she has done in the past. Frances Trupe Here is one of the most agreeable young ladies of our class. Frances, a comm-ercial student, can usually be found in the midst of a group of girls in study hall, laughing and sometimes studying??? Her hearty laugh has brightened many a dull class. With her initiative and friendliness we are sure she will go far in the business world. Kathryn M. Ulrich Do I hear music? That must be Kathryn playing the piano! For piano playing is the hobby and main interest of this senior. Another of her interests could be supplying the rest of the class with her history notes which she did throughout our Junior year. A quieter person you could hardly find, but Oh!-'What brains she has! They'll help her to succeed in being a good secretary some day. X-J f Lomor Weaver '4Henner, as he is best known to all of us, is one of the veteran varsity men of our class in both foot- ball and basketball. He is equally great on the gridiron or the basketball floor. Popular with both sexes, he was elected junior class treasurer and vice president of the senior class. Although quiet and unassuming on the surface, Henner contributes his bit to whatever is going o'n. We wish you the best of luck Henner in all you attempt. Erlo Moe Weist Here is one of the most well-known young ladies in our class. Erla has been with us for twelve years and has certainly contributed to the activities. Her beautiful soprano voice has been displayed in the Mixed Chorus, trios and sextettes, which sang at the music festivals. Erla served on our first Student Coun- cil. A winsome smile, beautiful clothes, twinkling eyes, and an abundance of energy make up this lass whom we are all proud to claim one of us. Success in any- thing you attempt is our wish for you, Erla. Jean D. Wingen roth Pop-pop, yes, that was Jean with her chewing gum. Who didn't know Pinky and her gum? Jean was certainly an asset to the class of '47. She served faithfully as treasurer of our senior class, as well as being a flag swinger in the band. She was a member of the Mixed Chorus and Rifle Club. Jean had the initiative and personality to achieve whatever she set as her goal. . x7- I xg, ' Helen O. Witmer This polite little miss has been with us ever since the beginning of our school life. Characterized 'by her dark hair and blue eyes, her neat appearance and congenial smile, she is a fitting description to the word tops, Helen has represented the class of '47 as a member of the high school band for many years. Be- cause of her high scholastic rating and her convivial personality, we are sure she will succeed in her'chosen career. Dorothy L. Wo!f Dot joined our group 'way back in the first grade and has always played a big part in our class. Her gay laugh and striking hair-do's have created their impression on our minds. Dot can joke about herself as well as laugh about others. She is a good sport and plays basketball very well. Our wish for you, Dot, is success in your future. You're a good sport and you deserve the best. Joy Wolf This curly-haired lad entered the gates of Eph- rata High School during our freshman year. Although he does not have much to say, his genial smile has made friends with many. Perhaps he is noted mainly for his skill in handling the rifle since 'he is one of the staunch members of the Riiie Club, who has made the traveling rifle team. He also holds the position of range officer in that club. Jay has the determination to work hard and gain ultimate success. cl v2 ' 35 Q l - rfigggi Chorles S. Yeager, lll Charles can be called our tallest, dark and hand- some fellow. He has spent all of his twelve years of school with us, and we certainly don't know what we would' have don-e without him. He can usually be found working in the printing office, where he has gained a great deal of experience for his' chosen career. With his great ambition he will surely find success in the newspaper business. Mildred S. Young Have you ever strolled into the Ephrata National Bank and seen a tall, smiling brunette busily attending to her duties? If you have, it must have been our Millie. She is noted for her commercial ability and has shown her competence as a typist for the Moun- taineer, We know that you, Mildred, with your ability and sunny disposition will certainly succeed in your chosen field, stenography. Guy Bo rtorm Zell Guy's blond, curly hair has been the source of much feminine admiration, He's one of Akron's con- tributions tor our class. Guy seems rather shy on the surface, but after being with him for only a few minutes, you find that he is quite the opposite-full of jokes and witty remarks. Guy is not sure what he'll do upon leaving school, but we're sure whatever it is will be done well. 36 -----f . w xl , 1, fjgji' Q Glenn C. Zug The familiar phrase tall, dark and handsome can be used to describe Glenn perfectly Four years ago we received this dashing Romeo from the metropolis of Lincoln His musical talents have entertained us many times as a member of the boys' quartet and also as a soloist.

Esther Horst Q10 THE STARS PREDICT A hush falls over the audience as upon the screen falls the words, Ephrata in 1957 as predicted by the stars. The narrator of this film is the world's famous astronomer, Nor- man Miller, who plays the role of astrologer for the evening. Weirdly through the maze of clouds is seen the renowned Main Street of Ephrata, Pennsylvania. The first thing striking the eye of a visitor is the huge book store on the square. Stepping inside, we see the proprietor, Jack Bryson, handing Miss Mary Ellen KauH'man, the librarian, a publication of Bryson,s New Simplified Dictionary. Again on the sidewalks of Cloistertown, We see Mayor Clarence Hess of Akron, talking to Leroy Callihan, mayor of Ephrata. Having finished their conversation, we watch Mayor Callihan journey up Main Street. He journeys only as far as the railroad when the Atomic Meteor enters the town enroute to the Ephrata Suburban Station. After waving to the engineer, Robert Hacker, he turns and enters the Boopsy Bay Bar, where owner and manager, Robert Henly, greets him. At the far end of the children's haven is the clerk, Pauline Lewis, selling some odd looking contraptions to Lorraine Steinmetz, in- structor of the local kindergarten. Now that the train has passed by, we cross the street to see the J. Pierce 50 8: 10c store, literally booming with business. Just a short distance away there is a throng of people awaiting the arrival of Dolly Boyer to open her dancing school for the afternoon session, while up the street, Jay Wolf, the noted agriculturalist, is leaving the ofiice of S. M. Schwartz, the famous chiropodist of Pennsylvania. Since the mayor was now hungry, he headed for the famous Loose and Hardartn restaurant, known for its good food and pretty waitresses. Outside, Walter Kulp, the Eph- rata grocer, was talking to the town's prominent ice man, Raymond Sw-eigart. Having en- joyed a delicious dinner, Callihan headed for the great Municipal Star Stadium built by donations given by the multi-millionaire, Clifford Burkhart, Esq. Being delayed enroute by a very interesting conversation with the foreign diplomat, John L. Englert, the mayor arrived late for the game between the Cloister Mountaineers and the Miami Tigers, As Callihan took his seat, 'he noticed the star, Ted Badorf, snaring a pass and as usual going 83 yards for a spectacular touchdown. However, on that play there was a mishap. It seem that referee Orwig was in the middle of the play and was trampeled under. Of course editor Fabian of the Frata Buglen has his star photographer, Frank R. Haus, Jr., on the spot. Immediately, John M. Krouse, former army surgeon, rushed upon the field, followed by the Ephrata coach, Knute Rockne Weaver. And, of course, on hand was Spec', Sweigart, noted sports critic, and his contemporary, the sports announcer of the year, Jake Gerhart. It also should be noted that Bibs Brunner, Woman's Sports Writer for Charles S. Yeager's III's daily paper, was in on the action. After seeing Ephrata mop up Miami 19-47 under the brilliant arcs, the mayor followed the crowd to the Starlight Ballroom owned by Corky Horst. Tonight the ballroom fea- tured the Jumpy Spotts Orchestra with Wilbur himself mastering the horn and starring that ace drummer, Bob Musser. The feature of the evening was Maestro Brugger, the country's renowned magician. Upon entering the immense ballroom, he was welcomed by Corky's right hand assistant Annette Bornman. Miss Bornman seated the mayor at a table with the world's famous psychologist, Virginia Gooding, and Beverly Enck, concert musician of international fame. The mayor was just comfortably seated when a group of guests entered, led by the town's principal socialite, Marty Garrett, who then mcvnopolized the mayor's entire evening. The group was brought to the ballroom in a Fleetline Bus, the largest in this part of the country, run by Elta Eitnier 8a Co. The bus was driven by Phyllis Rabold. Next on the agenda was the variety show featuring the Merry Majorettesu starring Pat Gehr as the leading Majorette. However, there seems to be some kind of a mix-up on -V 38 , G vp U 9 'ffigjij the stage. Ah yes, we see stage manager, Lucile Hoffman, had forgotten part of the stage setting, Following that act, master of ceremonies, Guy Zell announced Marie Root and Erla Mae Weist as contestants for the Miss America Contest. The last feature on the prov- gram was a short talk by Kathryn Ulrich, prominent ettiquette instructress of the time. When leaving, the mayor chanced to run into Glenn Zug, our metropolitan dealer in Chrysler products, accompanying Miss Pat Templin noted editor of the current magazine Who's Who In Society. Following right behind them was Ephrata's new German teacher, Violet Hockman, accompanied by the literary castigator, William Mink. Leaving the ballroom, the mayor drove to the other end of the city to stop at Peg's Soda Barn run by Peggy Peiffer, where he saw the greatest artist of the period, Shirley Leaman. Upon entering, the hostess, Ethel Royer, showed them to a table and called upon Pauline Cooper to wait on them. Climbing into his car, the mayor knocked a book to the ground. When he picked it up, he noticed it was written by the prominent historian of the day, Betty Shonk. Riding past the offices of the Frata Bugle he saw the typists at work on the copy of the next day's paper. PaulineGood, Grace Demmy, Dolores Booth and Dolores Rishel, under the supervision of Mildred Young and Mary Jane Henly, could be seen from the street. Traveling down the street, various lights were seen penetrating deep into the dark- ness of the night. The first light was in the home of Marian Ensinger who could be seen correcting papers of her Senior English class. Next along the Way, the vetenarian, Ida Ann Fry, was seen working on Poochie, the dog of Betty Fritz, owner of the local lingerie shop. Again passing the railroad station, he saw Hollywood actress, Dot Wolf, leaving the station, being interviewed by ace reporter, Jane Keller. In the next block, Helen Witmer with the assistance of Frances Trupe, was closing up her ice cream shop after another tedious day. The last light onthe street was the garage of Clair Lausch, who was putting the finishing touches on the polishing job of Jay Brossman's new Ford. So as the mist again combines with the black of night and forces the metropolis of Ephrata into obscurity, the stars again refiect the face of our astrologist, Norman Miller. Rubbing our eyes in realization that this is only a movie, we await further events. 40 W NAME Theodore Badorf Dolores Booth Annette Bornman Dolores Boyer James Brill Jay Brossman Harold Brubaker Nevin Brugger Barbara Brunner Jack Bryson Clifford Burkhart Leroy Callihan Pauline Cooper Grace Demmy Elizabeth Diem Elta Eitnier Marian Ensinger Beverly Enck John Englert Blaine Fabian Rosabel Foltz Betty Fritz Ida Ann Fry Martha Garret Patricia Gehr Jacob Gerhart Pauline Good Virginia Gooding Betty Griffith Robert Hacker Frank Haus Mary Jane Henly Robert Henly Clarence Hess Violet Hockman Lucile Hoffman Esther Horst Mary Ellen Kauffman STATISTICS SECRET AMBITION CHIEF COMPETITOR Professional ballplayer Aviatrix Opera star Dancing teacher Ventriloquist Engineer Sailor U.

She has taught the girls to check books, coming in and going out, to arrange books in their correct order on the shelves and also to keep the magazines and newspapers neatly arranged. These girls who work two periods a week receive a small E after they have completed the required two years.

' FOOTBALL TEAM This is one of the greatest grid ensembles Ephrata High has ever had. They succeeded in gaining the championship of the newly formed Conference of the Rosesg hence they received the beautiful Conference of the Roses Trophy. Besides this, the team won the Conference of the Roses Traveling Trophy, Lititz-Ephrata Trophy and the Bi-County Trophy. The opener was a disappointment with Columbia nosing out the Mountaineers. Next they tasted blood, against Muhlenberg Township and 'started on a scoring spree which no team could stop. From that day on, only Lititz scored three points against Ephrata High, Leading this team which Ephrata will long remember, was Lamar Henner Weaver and Jack Chick Bryson, two great co-captains. Other seniors on the squad were Johnny Krouse, highest scorer and a dazzling performerg Leroy Callihan, determined half backg while in the line was Ted Badorf, towering end. great on offense and defenseg Johnny Orwig, another formidable endg Jim Brill, hard hitting tackleg John Englert, a giant on defenseg, Nevin Brugger, another stalwart: Glenn Zug, a powerful end, and last, but by no means least, the little demon at center, Spec Sweigart.

Ephrata twice defeated New Holland, winner of Section 3 in the Lancaster County League, but lost two games to Columbia, winner of Section 2. in which Ephrata competed.

Moral support for the football and basketball teams this year was amply supplied by our loyal cheerleaders led by the co-captains Barbara Brunner and Esther Horst. The other cheerleaders are James Loose, a senior, Joanne Eberly and Robert Beisswanger, juniors, who will be the co-captains next year. Their enthusiasm and peppy cheerleading spurred the teams to victory and inspired the spectators to cheer and support the wearers of the Purple and Gold. f l' 'W JL 'r 6 2 7 ' af- 3 : 1 7-A Lf -5 3. -.: 3 77' fi Q x 3- -fig, 4 n 41 Za? :ff 1 X6 .vw-7 5565154 - QQEGQEZZQQQ.
