WILLIAM WARREN HO upopn uRebe1v u . Q l Secretary Student Senate '33-'34g Ring Committee '33- 34. ' Our one and only l'Southern Gentlemanf, who was head waiter this year. Bill gave the basketball team many a hard scrimmage. His spectacular playing with the Main Building was one of the main factors in their victories over Stevens Hall. Rebel is one of the school's most humorous boys, and also one of the most obliging in the school. He is one of these rare people who always have a cheery greeting and a bright smile. We all wish Q'Bill as much success in his ensuing years of study as he has had in the past. 19----- ------------- o s o G A H- - - -H- GEORGE CHARLES HURS w5L, ,.Reds,, imankyn r i 31 . Here is a real tray slingerg those who have had the pleasure of ining i our dining- salon and had the luck to reside at Georgels table know this to be a fact. ot content to see the boys are well fed in the dining hall, Q'Reds has gone into the restaurant business on the Main Building. It is not an unknown fact that 'QGeorgie', is a real social lion. Few Academy fellows have equaled this titianed topped gentleman's success in the ranks of Gettysburg society. We hope to hear great things of George, and we know he will not disappoint us. uReds,, wfarzanv I Z HARRY LEHNER I I' Football '30-'31g Honor Captain ,32-'33, y33-,345 Ring Committee '33-,34g Dance Committee ,33-,349 Vice President Student Senate '33-,34g President of Senior Class '33-'34. Harry Lehner. There is a name that means something. It means two hundred and some twenty odd pounds of beautiful manhood. Those who know Reds know that deep beneath that mighty chest is buried a heart of gold. He has been a student at the Academy for many years without a single mar upon the clear horizon of his career. Harry has watched them come and watched them go. and all have felt that great bond of good fel- lowship and brotherhood toward him. Football opponents knew to their sorrow what it meant to oppose Tarzan the Terrible, that avalanche of bone and muscle. For Hve years l'Reds,, has graced the Orange and Blue eleven, being elected honorary captain as a suitable climax. Athletics is not the only phase of fame that the gods have so generously showered upon Harry, as he was chosen by the Senior class as their guiding hand and president. This energetic man, topped by a gorgeous halo of fiery locks, has been active in practically every line of school activity existingg therefore it would be foolish for us to try to discuss his true worth in this so small an allotted space. Yes, as the class breaks up, each going his separate way, we realize, and we would like to pass the word along to any other reader, that Harry Lehner is a name that means something-and a friend long to be cherished. GEORGE ROMAN LONGANECKER George,' 'QGander Football '33-'34g Basketball Q33-'34g Baseball '33-y34g Student Senate '33-'34. George, a man among men, arrived at Gettysburg from York, Pa., in the balmy September days of 1933. He immediately began to prove himself a great asset to football and was the Academy's dashing fullback. All those who know George like him and like his old Dutch speech. George is a gentleman and a worker. One never sees George with a local girl because of his unshirking loyalty to his York weakness. 110 l

Any and all who have the good fortune of knowing uTwo-Buck Tim from Tim- l:uctu know the acquaintance is something they would not part with for galleons o' gold. This handsome, dashing, blond Appollo has become legendary among the more glorified sex. While eagerly continuing his pursuit from knowledge, ujoen has spent many happy hours on the Battle Field. He is now an authority on the subject. Not only this, folks, but each hillock, tree, cannon, or monument is near and dear to his heart. The managing of this year's football team was well taken care of, for Ralph was the popular as veil as efhcient manager, GEORGE FARNSLER HOCKER, JR.

We must admit we like this product of the itle t f Bethlehem, and if we werenit to hear and see George here and there with ' dis ' hed and individual walk, truly we would miss him. BRUCE FRANKLIN HOCKMAN 'QHerc Houndl' 'iHockie,' Football '33-'34g Baseball i31-'32, '32-'33, '33-'34, Senate '33-,34. Here we have a gentleman who fspeaking in the vernacular of the fair onesj is just ucky for words. He is a veteran, having done four years. On the baseball diamond erc is an inspiration to the fellows who are not so skilled in the hurling sport. For se who are wondering, Herr is the short of Hercules. Anyone who has seen those erful shoulders in action or been in the iron grasp of this perfect specimen can well ap reciate the significance of that name. Ar night when bed time comes, great numbers of fellows troup to Herc's', room just to see him flex those mighty, rippling layers of me solid muscle. a heart-smasher this blond blizzard has no peer.

HAROLD RANDOLF HOCKMAN Poodle Stud Sound the trumpets, let them blare forth in a triumph peall Introducing, ladeez an, gennamen, that one and only uPoodle from Mingoville. We have here in captivity a living being not to be passed over lightly. Upon entering good ol' Stevens Hall there are times when one may hear the soft, entrancing fconsult M. Saundersj notes of a muted trumpet, wending their way throughout the portals of this majestic and stately building. The Battle Field guides have been known to attribute, as they passed by explaining the here's and there's to some tourists, these weird sounds to the ghosts of wounded Civil War soldiers who were housed here at the time of the war. Da Poodn is a real guy thoughg ask anyone in the school. We'll go farther than that, ask anyone in town. Be sure you get the right girl, after all there are girls and girls. t'Poodle is the smaller of the two Hockman brothers fthe other, Houndj therefore one may be sure to Find him a strapping young fellow, so he is.

19 O S A 34 ' idk YW JOSEPH D. LOTITO of y7 srl-Iornsa cz-Joey: Football ,33-,34Q Hon. Captain Basketball '33-,343 Baseball '33-'34, The person accompanying this write-up happens to be the first player to receive the iirst kick off in the first football game of the season. From that time on he continued to make a notable showing in every game. Then came basketball. Again this sport demon came to the fore, sinking them in right and left. We are proud to say that Herrin did his share in our victories and fought bravely in times of defeat. We find 'Kleen a helpful little article to have around the building too, for if it weren't for him some of the fellows would doze and perhaps miss a class or two. However, no one ever worries about going to slee when Horn is around. He really is a jolly good fellow, and if Joey decides c e his train of owledge, which we have reason to believe he will, it will be a r so e institu 'og higher learning. C .0 gl BY WILLIAM WALLACE MCNEIL Wally Butterfly Football '33-'34, Student Senate ,33-,34. Feast your eyes on the Tyrone Typhoonu, which means in other words that here is a football guard extraordinary. Wally's only occupation is not physical culture, as one might make the mistake of thinking, but he is a student of classics. Yes, many of Wally,s,' moments are taken up with intensive and extensive study of the said subject. The result should be an extremely well read man-so it is. In flitting here and there Butterfly has learned life. There is a sad and forlorn look in his eyes that speaks of tragedy. Wally', tells us his all, his very life lies to the south'ardg we surmise heill be hittin' th' highway yon before long. As Wally,' has succeeded well here in our little school-world, we feel it fair to prophesy a great and successful future is in store for our Q'Wally . CLAIR EDGAR MILLER aff W l'Flash uSleepy Football ,33-Y34. The folks back home in Sagamore think quite a lot of their boy Clair, and so do we. Clair fsometimes spoken of as the Sagamore Kid, is one of those less fortunates who has only had the pleasure of attending G. A. for a single year. Soon after arriving, that is, as soon as old man Blues had stopped fooling around, Clair fell into the school life and in clue time became a valuable part of it. We feel that we cannot pass by this gallant gentleman without letting you in on a little secret-Clair has those fascinating brown eyes that you read about but seldom see. Each afternoon as Clair flashes looks here and looks there, any a feminine heart starts throbbing furiously. Aside from envying 'QFlash's,' ily a s with women we are one hundred per cent with him. ROBERT I-IAMIL MOORE xl UTM.. .WZ-boy., Wm.. Football ,33-7343 Basketball '33-7345 Baseball '33-'34g Ring Committee ,33-'34. Tut',, good ol' Tut , comes from Philipsburg, Pa., and is loyal to the home town to the last breath. He was a help fwithout a doubtj to the Academy in athletics. On the football team :'Tut played quarterback. In basketball he held clown a guard position. He is also a great letter writer, especially to a certain 'QFran,' of his. We wouldn't be at all surprised to see uTut conducting a Lonely Hearty' column in some newspaper or maga- zine in the future. The ujazz-boyi' is like that. It might even be a uLove-lorn column. Tut is heading for Penn State next year and will probably come through in whatever he takes part. E253
