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.

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.
