WiIli1 ' Clank P,-fp RAY L. HARTMAN RUSSELL F. HARTMAN HEARLD S. HEARN, JR. ll iIlir Clank Pp1,f We all know Ray as a quiet, modest, friendly fellow, who is sincere in all 'he does. Ray is not a conspicuous member of the class but, as the old saying goes, Still water runs deep. Living on a farm, Ray understands and appre- ciates the difficulties and problems of farming, which are numerous today. Ray has been our class authority on the many difficulties encountered by the farmers because of the numerous snow storms this past winter. Ray loves to tell a classmate of an experience his brother had thirteen years ago at precisely the time when the teacher is imparting some essential infor- mation to the class, showing that he is not a dull, you-go-your-way l'll-go-mine, sort of fellow. If Ray has one fault, it is his bashfulness, which, however, 'becomes him. Ray will, we know, make his way in the world. Acrivmes: Typing Club, 4. Meet the red-haired wonder of Strausstown and a regular pa- tron on the Strausstown Flyer. Chink, as he is sometimes called, is well liked because of his amiable disposition and his friendly smile. Not a few, we might say, look upon his brawny Herculean build with a twinge of envy. After grad- uation, Russell is looking forward to service in the navy. Since Chink is the rugged manly type, we can imagine him assuming quite naturally the hardy life of a sailor. His dependability, coaperativeness, and cheerfulness will also stand him in good stead, for he very cap- ably fills any position which is en- trusted to him. Russell is always good company and gets along with his associates with a mini- mum of friction. Bon voyage. ACTIVITIES: Hi-Y, 33 Mixed Chorus, 3, +3 Student Council, 4, Soccer Squad, 4, Vice-President of Athletic Associa- tion, 4. Hearld Hearn- Pete 6 ft. 4 in. Yessir! That's Pete, The worst Christmas present a person could possibly give him would be a pair of stilts. He enjoys working hard on his Dads farm near Shartlesville. He wears a curly 'Kwig that is always cut short. He detests neckties and long sleeved shirts, nor is he very fond of Women, though he blushes a lovely shade of pink at the sight of them. He wears clothes that are not flashy 3 in fact, Pete is conserv- ative, not only in dress but in man- ners, too. He likes soccer, boxing, wrestling, ice cream, and home- made cherry pie. He intends to stay on the farm and make farming his life work. We can imagine him becoming a stable, salt-of-the-earth member of our great fraternity of food producers. His muscle and brawn, his resilient good spirits, and his dogged determination are his qualifications for his career. Let noilzing be lost, said our Saviour. But that is lox! that is Illi.!'ll3'l'1l. -Ilim. Penn Twzfnly-our

GREIQNAWALT Cowboy Arlan is the tall, blond fellow whose greatest pleasure is derived from teasing and annoying the female members of the class. A man of the world, he wears flashy clothes and drives all over the country to dances in his father's car. This same car is a big factor in Cowboys life. He drives to school very frequently, and is al- ways willing to transport anybody at all to any place in town. His favorite foods are cheese- burgers and french fried potatoes, and for pastime he likes watching basketball games in winter and bungalow life in summer. For the past three years he has held part time jobs at Sanger's, Hahn's, and the Hamburg Boiler Works while attending school. His best school subject is typewriting, but when he graduates, he would like to become a florist because as he says, You can make a lot of money when people die. HELEN LOUISE GRIEFF Swiss A slap on the back, an enchant- ing smile, or a warm hello will always linger in our high school memoirs of Helen Louise Grieff. Swiss, is one of the tallest and most popular girls of our class. Her pleasing smile and friendly dis- position win her friends not only with her senior classmates, but with the underclassmen as well. She was named Hamburg High School's Pin-up Girl and served as mistress of ceremonies at the War Bond Rally. Although she cringes at the sight of blood, Swiss plans to enter the Reading Hos- pital School of Nursing upon graduation. Let's hope her person- ality and charm heal many patients.

HELEN L. HAFER Sadie Helen is the silliest girl in the senior class. She is noted for her continual laughter and teasing which she imposes on various friends. Regardless of how silly she may be, she has a temper and is not at all hesitant about putting it into action. However, she is well liked by all and is always the life of the party. She loves to jitterbug, really going to town when doing so. She especially likes barbecues and lemon cokes, with C.M.P.'s running close behind. One often sees her in her favorite color, yel- low. She works at a certain insur- ance agency. Her favorite pastime is caring for children and sopho- more boys, but she is most often seen with her inseparable friend, f'Killer Miller. .ACTIVITIESZ Mixed Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4, Tri-Hi-Y, 2, 3, 4, Girls' Ensemble, 45 High Lights Staff, +5 Intramural Sports, 1, 2, 3, 4.

MIRIAM l. HEFFNER CARL A. HENNE Liz Leroy, known to all his friends as Liz, for reasons unknown, is the type of senior who is looked up to by underclassmen. He has curly black hair and is often seen combing it. He does not indulge in smoking. He is kind and re- served. His actions in school and schoolwork are governed mostly by his sports. From experience, we recognize Liz as a hard worker, one who does not give up until the final whistle blows. His excellent physical status will prove to be an asset in his chosen profession, that of a football coach. Basketball is his favorite sport and he is tops in it. He likes Hashy clothes and cake. In his spare time, Liz may be seen either working at the F Sc F Shop or eating in the Luncheonette. ACTIVITIES: J. V.

She is al- most always seen in skirts and sweaters. She usually must hurry to get to her home room before the bell. She is known to everyone as 'fChicken or Chick but pre- fers the latter nickname. Chick is interested in a lad from Phila- delphia who has the same nick- name. Perhaps he is the reason that she would like to go to beauty culture school in Philadelphia. Her favorite pastime is hanging out at Rip's. Her favorite foods are spa- ghetti and baked beans. Chick dislikes people who are always com- plaining. She Claims she has an awful temper, and sometimes dis- plays it, but we still think she's one of the swellest pals and class- mates, and know she will make a good beautician. ACTIVITIES: Home Economics Club, 2, 3, 4. Angel Carl, with his ever-present smile and teddy bear hair cut, mounts the Strausstown Flyer every morn- ing for his trip to H. H. S. Much of his time on the journey and in school, to-0, is spent teasing the girls. His nicknames are legion- Citrus, Splinters, Angel, and Jewish,'l are only a few. Angel recites well in class, his answers in English and Law are well-thought out if a trifle original. Carl at times betrays a slight skep- ticism and a tendency to adhere to his own convictions with a stub- bornness reminiscent of a well- known member of the canine race. During the summer he is employed at Price Battery, but he demon- strated at the Bond Rally that he has the talent to become famous as an auctioneer. Perhaps some day we shall -hear his famous chant on the Hit Parade, 'fSold, American. Acriviriesz Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, Hi-Y, 3, 43 Soccer, 4qIntramural Soccer, 1. Liz Chirkrn Angel
