F ourleen Happy that king who is great by justice, and that people who are free by olzedienre. --147111. Penn THEDA M. ADAMS Term,- Theda is a happy, carefree lass of our class who possesses much vim and vigor. Her pleasing smile and talkative manner is known to everyone. The unusual thing about Teddy is that she sleeps with a toy monkey given to her by a friend. Her version of caterpillars, which she particularly dislikes, is that they are huge, ferocious, and man-eating. Next to caterpillars she detests her middle name, Myr- line. Writing letters to her soldier boy friend occupies much of her time. Theda can often be seen walking the hal-ls without any leg gear and accompanied by her sis- ter, Lena. Dancing and apple pie- a-la-mode rate on Teddy's list of favorites. Swimming also gives her great pleasure. It is Theda's hope that an office position awaits her after graduation.

Although she enj-oys playing basketball, she Ends even greater pleasure in playing the role of spectator at our varsity games. Her French classmates wonder if Van Johnson is really the chief cause of her daily sighs in that class. Quite Welcome is her bit of dry 'humor to break up the mon- otony of her studious life at school. She considers her trip to speak at Wyomissing in her Junior year one of the tensest moments in her school career. As for her ambition, she is interested in the field of social service. Sundaes, especially CMP's are her specialty. just ask her about West Lawn, that's her favorite subject. Acrivmes: Intramural Sports, 1, 2, 3, +5 G.I.A.

BACHMAN Olly OIly as he is always called, is the brown-haired lad of the senior class who is best known for his laugh. He has a tendency to be always late for school, even though he lives not far away. Olly can always be seen cruising around in a bright green Chrysler. His favorite pastimes are making dates, roller skating, and annoying fellow students in study periods. Once Olly has started to laugh about something, it takes a team of horses to stop him. OIly's pet peeves are Bob Magee's jokes and Eng- lish classics. He also hates people who ask him where he buys the curlers to wave this hair. He looks forward to becoming a gob in the United States Navy.

' Ifmlnmur' 1:4-v i' Jil Alan Ro.rif Los RALPH A. BAUSHER ROSEMARIE BEHLER HAROLD L. BICRGICR S 2fC Hfllllllu Rosie LUX This blonde lad -who comes from Fink's Lane is a fine companion. Although he is a little on the pes- simistic side, 'he is generally cheer- ful and knows how to have a good time. His interests vary greatly, extending from playing his trumpet to flying an airplane. He is look- ing forward to the day when he can fly his own plane. Alan Ladd is his favorite actor -because Ralph and Alan seem to have a lot in common. He also is quite an artist and can be found in almost any study period drawing pictures of B-29's and Harry james. Ralph is slow to anger, 'hard to cool, but usually most amicable. His after school hours are spent working at a local department store along with another member of our class. In the Senior Play you would never recognize Ralph as the old uncle in the beard. 'fRosie,', one of the most studious members of our class, speaks often of studying modern languages, her specialty. Of the worrying type, Rosemarie is always crossing bridges before she gets to them. She is an ardent basketball fan, although she prefers not to par- ticipate in the game. Albright Col- lege games particularly attract her attention. Many colored sweaters and skirts make up a large part of her wardrobe. Her favorite food is sauerkrautg and her pet peeve, eating cold lunches at school. She terms Cookies as one of her fa- vorites in the dessert line. She has a very fair complexion, brown hair, and blue eyes. Shillington ranks among her favorite towns. Ask her why!

Board, Senior Play. Los, small but mighty, left school at the end of his Junior year to enlist in the United States Navy. Eight weeks of boot training at Camp Perry were followed by voyages to England and Bermuda. At present he is a member of the crew of the destroyer U.S.S. -I. Wm. Ditter, somewhere in the Pacific. ln school, Los was noted for speed and finesse on the soccer field and the basketball court. He was a Varsity letterman in both sports, and was missed greatly on this year's championship teams. We remember Los for his dis- arming smile and for the rougish twinkle in his eye, two character- istics very prominent after he has been up to a little sly strategy. We join in wishing him the best of success wherever he is. Acrxviriesz junior Varsity Basket- ball, lg Varsity Basketball, 2, 33 Var- sity Soccer, 2, 3.
