Najy Janie Bob NORMAN C. NAFTZINGER lVaffy Norman travels to H.H.S. from -Ialappa in a black Chevy. His favorite sport is hunting, but base- ball runs a close second. Hoedown- ing is one of 'his favorite pastimes, but he shuns city dancing and jitter- bugging, Norman's pet peeve is flat tires. To be a farmer after gradu- ation is his greatest ambition. One of his likes is deer meaty one of his dislikes, two-faced people. Naffy considers the ideal Christmas pres- ent a couple of gas stamps. Norman has an uncanny knack for annoy- ing others during study periods. Usually an admonition from higher authority is effective-for a min- ute. lt's as 'hard to keep his irre- pressible good spirits from over- flowing as it is to keep the bubbles down in an effervescent glass of ginger ale. Does everyone remember the Shartlesville Kid at the Bond Rally? That's Naffy who is un- derneath. MARY .IAN E RAUBEN HOLD .. - U .lame Janie is a medium-sized, brown-eyed beauty with long brown hair. She is a great talker and can discourse freely on many subjects. The most important topics for Janie this year, however, are the sailor and the marine in her life. Her great love is her dog Hedy which she says looks like the actress of that name. Her favor- ite subject is shorthand, in which she excels, her taste in food runs to spaghetti and meat balls. She is not an active participant in sports, but enjoys watching them from the sidelines. Janie's sweet soprano voice has earned her recognition as the best singer in the class, and we know that her all-around ability will help her to be an outstanding success in all her future undertakings.

READ Bob Robert, the noisiest, most mis- chievous member of the Senior Class, hails from Clearfield, and unlike the general run, is descended from Scotch Irish stock. As a warn- ing, don't ever mention dog in front of this chap. It affects him much like Niagara Falls affects The Three Stoogesf' Bob's favorite topic in conversation is his spaniel, Blackie Bo'bl' is the type of fellow who one week plans to hit out in the world for himself and the next week sings Home Sweet Home. Read has decided to enlist respect- ively in the navy, the merchant marine, the army, the marines, the ,air corps, and the coast guard, but in the end he resolved to wait and be drafted. Bob is a soft fellow to heart, always willing to share his last candy bar with you in study period and a swell fellow in a pinch. ACTIVITIES! Hi-Y, 3, 4.

Penn ALICE REED ESTHER REINSEL ALYSE M. RENTSCHLER Champ Baby Z, Champ,' Reed, the chubby, friendly girl with long curly hair and blue eyes, impresses all with her serious outlook and her ability to do every job well. One need not know Alice very long before be- coming aware, perhaps unconscious- ly, of 'her sane and wholesome atti- tude toward school and life in gen- eral. Few there are so quietly loyal and dependable as she, for Alice actually lives her philosophy. As Business Manager of High Lights this year, Alice worked hard to get ads and see that the budgeted income was forthcoming. Champ participates in all of the G.I.A. games, but prefers hockey, newcomb, and tennequoit. Her post-graduation plans call for a job in a local ofiice. We know she will be successful.

Baby, as she is often called, possesses brown eyes and brown hair. Everyone knows her for her friendly disposition. Not too daunted by a difficult situation, Esther after much per- severance finally learned to drive the family Plymouth. Since her favorite subject is bookkeeping, we can understand her ambition to be- come a clerical office worker. Each morning Baby b o a r d s the Strausstown Flyer after a long walk to the bus stop. In spite of the distance, she does not often miss school. After school hours she works on the farm. As for sports, Baby favors hockey and basket- ball. Baby is loved by everyone just because she is her own sweet self. ACTIVITIESZ Home Economics Club, 4, Intramural Sports, 1, 2, 3, 4. Alyse is characterized by her dark hair, brown eyes, and beauti- ful hands, and by her tendency to blush profusely when in the presence of members of the opposite sex. She 'loves the color blue, the winter time, chili-con-carni, and cowboy pictures. Her h-obby is col- lecting pictures of movie stars and she has quite a gallery of them. Have you noticed the spelling of her first name, odd isn't it? We have nominated Alyse as Least Likely to Succeed in her chosen career, for she claims that she wants to be an old maid. Per- haps the Cadet Nurse Corps will welcome her with open arms if she sticks to her determination to go into training. At present she is helping to raise the morale of our Army and Navy by corresponding with a 'large number of service men. ACTIVITIES! Home Economics Club, 4. vmwa ,,Champ,, ugabyn if fn
