Dol DOROTHY M. HIMMELBERGER f.D0t.. Dorothy is a very talkative girl with grey eyes and light brown hair who peeps out from behind a pair of glasses. She may often be seen in Shartlesville on Satur- day night. Hoedowning and city dancing are her favorite sports. Cheeseburgers and French fries are her favorite foods, especially if they can be eaten at a bungalow or on weekends like those which she spent in Ocean City. Her favorite actor is Gary Cooper, actress, Betty Grableg and orches- tra, Harry james'. Dot enjoys a good laugh with Baby Snooksf' and could spend a large part of her time listening to the songs of Bing Crosby and Ginny Simms, especi- ally if they sing, Don't Fence Me ln. Her favorite subjects are typ- ing and gym, and she aims to be a secretary in the near future. Ac'rlvi'riEs: Typing Club, 4g Mixed Chorus, 4. Janie Coffrr JANE T. KATZ HJl1IliPH Hlanie' is a blonde, blue eyed lass who is continually worrying about whether she looks all right. Her favorite food, as she says, is anything that can 'be eaten, but she prefers ice cream. Her favorite pastimes are dancing, ice skating, and swimming. Her pet peeves are sulky, disagreeable people and French kisses. She has many friends and is always seen talking or laugh- ing, for she is never quiet. She selected the commercial subjects, and would like to become a secre- tary. Although she drives a car, she always comes to school on the Strausstown Flyer. Jane's hobby formerly was jumping fences, but now she is so much occupied by school activities and her daily duties on the farm that she finds no time for this pastime.

KAUFFMAN HC0f,ll'f'H Kenneth is a farm boy who lives in Shartlesville, He is the possessor of dark brown hair and brown eyes and is far from being the shyest person in the senior class. When it comes to studying, Kenneth is good at sleeping or joking in his corny, little way. Kenneth is one of the noisiest members of the class, and his comments can usually be heard above those of the rest in Mr. Weber's homeroom. Besides being noisy, he is also a high-ranker in the witty class and is never found without an answer. He is a patron of the Saturday night jamborees at Shartlesville and can really swing it.'l Usually dependable, Kenneth is a good fellow to have around, and an all round sport. At times he may be termed as a ten o'clock scholar because this entrance to classrooms is very often made at about that time, especially on days when he has missed the bus.

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. Basketball, 1, 25 Varsity Basketball, 3, 4, Soccer, 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain, 45 Track, 3, 4, Track Manager, 4. ChirlemJ' Miriam is a short, brunette, brown-eyed lass of l2A. 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

KAUFFMAN J. RICHARD KEISER GERALDINE E. KISTLER 1lfIillie Millie , as she is known to most members of her class, is a friendly girl from 12-A. Perhaps some day in the future we shall see her as an Army Nurse which is her ambition. When it comes to food, give her chicken, chow mein, and Chinese tea. She usually spends -her summer vacation in Atlantic City as a waitress. She rides to school in the car and walks home quite often for the exercise. She does not care for Hknow it all students. Occasionally we see Millie in the movies, especially when Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart are acting. She knows her lessons, for she loves to study. Her inspiring voice makes her irresistible, a friend to all.

He delights in telling jokes and en- gaging in thot arguments. He is a regular man about town and an ardent patronizer of Shartlesville. He displays a likable character, though at times he appears a bit pessimistic. Often-times he is seen tearing around in a black Chevro- let which he regards as the fastest car on four Wheels. Of course, we would not disallusion him even though we know better. Dick did a fine job of raising the prices at our war bond rally auction. He is looking forward to attending McCannls Business School in Reading and eventually becoming an accountant. All in all f'Dick'l is a pretty square shooter.

Gerry Gerry is a newcomer to our class, who has transferred from Quakertown High. She can be heard singing or humming at al- most any time. Geraldine is con- sidering psychology as her life work and Martha Washington College as her source of higher education. Among her favorite foods are steak and mushrooms. Geraldine is especially popular with the male element of our class. Few fellows can Cor care tol offer resistance to her dazzling, hyp- notic eyes. Although she enjoys watching football games, she ber- self is never active in sp-orts. Being very studious, she prefers the study of languages. Eating celery in pub- lic has been known to make her face turn red. She is a minister's daughter and has inherited her father's ability in public speaking.
