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.

Twenty-six Lend not beyond thy ability, nor refuse fo lend out of thy ability: especially when if will help others nzore than it mn hurt thee. -Will. Penn ROBERT W. MAGEE RALPH L. MENGEL RICHARD C. MICHAEL Bob ' Mengel Dirk Bob's activities vary from mak- ing ice cream, to playing basketball, to tooting a sax in an up-to-date jazz orchestra. He has a fine tenor voice, and can play the sax and clarinet as easily as he can eat the ice cream he made last summer. He is, in fact, the best musician in the class. His return to the varsity bas- ketball team after a year of absence supplied the experience and ability needed to carry the team to the Northern Division Championship and the Berks County finals. His black wavy hair, brown eyes, and strong physique really send the women and make lhim the favorite among the members of the weaker sex. ACTIVITIES!

Ralph Lester Mengel, owner of light brown, wavy hair, and a very pleasing personality, is usually seen sitting in study classes making other pupils laugh at his make-be- lieve nervousness. Ralph is a friend to all g he has no dislikes and loathes nothing. His favorite food is chicken. Ralph is a well-dressed Senior, and looks very neat at all times. Although his hair is always neatly combed, he had quite a bit of trouble keeping it in placeg now and then it maybe seen covering his eyes. 'fMengel,' has enlisted in the Air Corps Reserve for future air combat training with the army. He works after school at Smith's Model Dairy and spends his Satur- day nights at Shartlesville.

Although he doesn't like to dance, he can 'be found at Shartlesville al- most every Saturday night, for he enjoys dances. He also enjoys par- ticipation in some sports such as soccer. Until one gets to know him well, one might think that he is very shy and timid. His friends know this is certainly not true. Dick is forever getting into some kind of trouble in study periods, for he is always teasing the girls who sit near him, especially Jane Katz who is often forced to use drastic measures to control him. Like all the rest of the seniors tak- ing chemistry he may be classed as brilliant fahemj in that subject. Dick is one senior who feels that life is too fine for hurrying and rushing. He has, therefore, timed all his movements to a slow tempo -school work included. Well, per- haps all things come to him, who waits. rrgobn r:Mfngfl1f rrDirkn
