ROBERT GRAY HUNTER Bob Penn State Besides being an unusually brilliant young physicist upon whom Mr. Hurlock depends for demonstrating experiments “Puzzums” just slays ’em right and left with that “line” of his. We all like him for his willingness to help at all times, and we know he’ll be a great success some day. Track (2. 3); Garnet and Gray (3); News Editor (3) : Camera Club (2) : Math Clul (3, 4); Drama Club (3, 4); Monitor (3). WILLIAM J. JORDAN. Jr. Bill Bill is the quiet, pensive youth, whose silence distinguishes him from everyone. However, we assume from the great dignity, which goes hand in hand with this silence, that there is an excellent explanation for it. Still waters run deep, don’t they, Bill? Math Club (4). NICHOLAS PETER JACOBY, Jr. Nick Penn State This accomplished young gentleman is an outstanding and hard-working member of the Student Council and a great football player in the bargain.

S. ELIZABETH KELSO Betty Drcxel The young damsel with the lovely, bright tresses and the giggle that can’t be squelched is Betty. And if you see a girl slip into her home-room a split second before the late bell, that’s Betty, too. But then Springfield is so far away! Home Room Secretary (1) ; Track (1). PHILIP H. JANVIER Bud Univ. of Penna. Phil i another quiet lad who says little, but is as good-natured and helpful as he can be. We understand be is very clever at constructing model airplanes in bis spare time, too. Basketball (4) ; Tennis (2); Golf (3. 4). KATHRYN R. KERN Kay Stenographer Here is one of the latest and l est additions to our class. Surely everyone knows Kay and her passion for horses. Another trade-mark of Kay’s is her laugh. Just listen to it some time, and you’ll split your sides laughing. What a vivacious girl! You just can’t keep her quiet. —23 }§►—

EILEEN MARGARET HEFNER Becky May we present Eileen, wh is a very loyal member of the Class of ’33? Because of her ever-ready and witty comebacks, sin is a most admirable companion.

I lockey (3, 4) : Class Basketball (1, 2. 3); Glee Club (3): Senior Dance Committee: Card Party Committee. ELWOOD HOFFMAN Hoffie El wood is the quiet young fellow who is one of the mainstays of the band and orchestra.

HOPKINSON This cynical young lady, who goes by the cognomen of “per-osa virorrm,” is the pride of good old Latin IV.

MARION E. KERR M ar Rider Marion is another young lady who usually pops in just before the late-bell and sometimes after, (but we won’t hold that against her). She’s very quiet, and perhaps that’s why everyone likes her. for that and her good-natured helpfulness. Garnet and Gray typist (4). PEARL KLEKOTKA Peg Bookkeeper We know that when this young lady leaves the portals of L. H. S., we shall miss her sunny smile and curious (but not offensive) nature very much. She is one who is steady, hard working, apt, and blessed with a keen sense of humor. Some lucky office manager is going to get a good “stenog” in Pearl. WILLIAM GEORGE KESTER BUI Drcxe! If you see a tall. dark, handsome lad hanging around a couple of pretty freshman girls, you’ll know without being told that that's Hill. Moreover, a Iw y named Krokenberger won’t he far off—from the girls. Senior Dance Committee (4) ; Math Club (3. 4): Aviation Club (1); Monitor (4). JOHN L. KROKKXBKRGER Johnny Drexel Studious and well-liked, this young “Adonis” may be sure of the respect of his classmates. His taste in girls is very good, too. especially a certain blonde m Room 24. He may lie easily picked out of the angry mob m the halls by his famous blu? “Turtle-neck” sweater. Aviation Club (2) ; Surveying Club (3. 4) ; Math Club (3, 4). WALTER KIEFER broni East Lansdowne came this likable, young fellow to join us as a freshman. He has been an old stand-by for almost everything, and we’ll lament his 1 assing into the cold, cruel world. e hope, however, that the cold, cruel world won’t separate him from his Norma. How about it, Walt? DON E. LEWIS Don Univ. of Penna. I bis promising young man is one of those versatile people about whom we hear. He likes to get up in English class and speak his piece, don’t you, Don? W e’rc sure he’ll be a howling success in anything he undertakes, because you have to get up early in the morning to beat him. And can he play football ? Football (2, 3. 4) ; Track (3. 4) : Stage Crew Freshman Party (1). —«6{ 24
