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
