H. 'S. to be in- structed and seasoned in different fields of study. The group was to become the class of '47 and numbered sixty- seven. At first all were a little shy but overcame this as time went by. Many of the boys and girls partici- pated in basketball and baseball with several playing on the varsity squad. During this year, one of the group, Paul Palmer, left the class and joined the Navy. The big event of the year was the movie and picnic near the close of school. On one frisky September morning our class entered its sophomore year slightly smaller, but large enough to initiate the incoming freshmen. The work was harder but each one was determined to make the grade. Many engaged in the extra-curricular activities and starred in such things as the high school play, operetta, baseball, and basketball. The picnic highlighted the events of the year. QContinued on Next Pagej Eleven When the third year began, school opened with a bang for all the students. The members of the class studied and worked hard in order to uphold the title of Juniors In the fall of this year class rings were selected and all anxiously awaited their arrival. Many members of the class engaged in the sports and extra-curricular activities about the school. In March of this year the juniors and seniors attended a 'Career Conference at Gettysburg College. The most import- ant event was on May 3 when the juniors held the annual Prom with the seniors as guests. The last event of the year was the picnic held in St. ,Iohn's woods. In the fall of 1946, when the senior year started our num- ber had dwindled to forty-six happy, anxious students and we realized that our high school days were nearly over. One of the main happenings of this school term was the Senior Play Bogeyman which was attended by a capacity audience. Again this year the seniors and juniors attended a Career Conference at Gettysburg. The highlights of the final year were the Prom, at which all enjoyed themselves immensely, and the trip to Washington where each and every senior had a wonderful time. The trip lasted two days and consisted of visits to the White House, Smithsonian Institute and sight-seeing excursions around the city. In closing this history the members of the class of '47 wish to extend their gratitude to the members of the faculty for the help received from them, and the interest they have taken in all our endeavors and to the student body for their wonderful cooperation. And so we bid all farewell. Charles Hall, Historian.

Lee LEROY S. HARNER Industrial Arts Gettysburg, Pa. R. D. 5 Senior Play 4g Camera Club 4: Airplane Club 2: Class Vice President 4. When we returned to school in September a new face greeted us--one which we have come to know as likeable and friendly with a way of teasing and pulling fast ones on unsuspecting victims. It was LeRoy, the first of our two G. I's. He is a Navy veteran having entered the service May 4, 1944 and served in the Pacific, Atlantic and Carribbean on patrol craft, also on a submarine chaser. Lee was discharged in May 1946. Quite studious, he has done his work with great pride and al- ways had it finished at the required time. He surprised all by his skill in spelling in English class for he simply couldn't be stumped by the hardest words. We know that he will prosper in any field he chooses and it is our hope that he gets as much pleasure from life as he has from his school days. i I Davey DAVID C. REINAMAN General Littlestown, Pa. R. D. l Art Club 1, 23 Glee Club 2, 3. At the beginning of the second semester there was quite a rumpus in the gossip corner when the new, good-looking blonde boy left many swooning. After serving four years in the Navy Davey returned to finish his schooling. He sailed on four different ships, landed on six of the world's continents and-undoubtedly can tell many stories of the things he has seen doing his duty as a radioman. David is a whiz in English and takes to Trig as a duck to water and plans to go to college after graduation. We believe that he will succeed in whatever he plans to do. Good luck, Davey , Thirteen I Al ALBERT I. BAIR Academic 326.S. Queen Street Littlestown, Pa. I Basketball Manager 4: Basketball 1, 2, 3: Baseball 1, 2, 3: Soccer fCap- bainj 4: Band 1, 2, 3, 4: Class Oflicer CPresidentJ 1: Athletic Association fExecu- tive Council! 4: Baseball Manager 4: Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4: Student Body Presi- dent 4: District Band 3, 4: County Band 2, 3, 4: County Chorus 2, 3, 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Senior Play 4: High School Play 2, 3: Typing Club 4: Atlas Club 3: Dramatic Club 2: High School quartette, 1, 2, 3, 4. Al is well known to everybody around L. H. S. either as the student body president or a real friend. Perhaps, if you haven't seen him talking with his boys Cjayvees which he coachedj, you heard him play his old beat up baritone in the school band. Could be, you saw him crooning in one of the operettas to a fair damsal. We'll never forget his stellar per- formance as center forward of the county's champion soccer team which he captained to many a victory. His future is un- decided though he has expressed his desire to be a coach. What- ever field he chooses, we'll say, so long and nice going Al. Marion MARION V. BANKERT Academic 47 Prince Street Littlestown, Pa. Typing Club 3: Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: County Chorus 2, 3, 4: Librarian 4: Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Softball 3: Volleyball 3: Class Officer 2: Monogram Club 3: Athletic Association 4: Senior Play 4: High School Play 1, 3: Journalism 1, 2, 3, 4: The Littonian 4. f Hey are you going up street? That's Marion's favorite cry at lunch time when her fellow lunch-eaters find a way up street. Her melodious voice clearly rang out not only the above words but also has been a main feature of the glee club, choruses, and operettas. With this musical talent Marion also possesses dramatic ability which she hopes to make her career. In basketball she was a killer for blocking those balls and likewise in softball when holding the catcher's mitt. This at- tractive, friendly blackhead also kept the school informed with the latest gossip in Echo Chatter as well as Al on what she was going to do Saturday night. All kidding aside. if she sings and smiles all the while, we predict her dreams will come true. Jeannie JEANNE V. BAUGHMAN Commercial 223 N. Queen Street Littlestown, Pa. Shop Club 3: Camera Club 4: Operetta 1: Athletic Association 4. We saw her at Barlow with the Hankey girls or was it at Eichelberger Hi watching their star Goby on the basketball court? Wherever it was we could tell by her twinkling dimples and flash of golden blonde hair that Jeannie was having a good time. This green eyed lassie ,who takes life in its stride by laugh- ing off the struggles and problems that she comes up against has done O. K. in her school life. After graduation she wants to koil hair and give the women de woiks. With her com- mercial training her books will never be jumbled up fwe hope: and success is bound to come her way. Con DORIS M. CONOVER Commercial 533 E. King Street Littlestown, Pa. Bgnd 2, 3, 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Operetta. 3, 4: Collectors' Club 3: Library Club 4: County Band 3, 4: Athletic Association 4. Who is that girl we see hurrying down. the hall? Why, of course, it's Mr. King's secretary. Doris is an industrious stu- dent who doesn't say much outside of class but knows the answers in class especially the commercial subjects. She en- tered our class during the sophomore year. Since then she has been a faithful member of band doing a swell job playing a clari- net. She loves to attend band concerts which seems only natural since she is interested in music. The class of '47 knows Doris will carry her excellent secretarial work into the business world. Fourteen Kay MARY K. CROUSE Academic 302 N. Queen Street Littlestown, Pa. Band 1, 2, 3, 4: Basketball 1, 2, 3, 43 Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4: Softball 334: Vol- l ball 3: Operetta 1, 2, 8, 45 Class Oflicer frepresentativej 2, 4: Monogram Club 3: Typing Club 33 Glee Club 2, 3, 4: County Band 2, 3, 4g Student Li- brarian 45 Joumslism 2, 3, 45 Athletic Association 4: County Chorus 4. Do you know how to whisper? If anyone happened to be in the library when Kay was behind the desk, they would whisper. In basketball she has really shown all how easy it is to roll up the score. When number seven shot it was L. H. S's own Kay sinking the ball. Her gift for gab was sometimes unwanted especially when it interrupted class work but all in all it was usually welcome. She is in for anything from taking an afternoon of ease to the hardest Trig problem and how she loves Trig !!! Her ambition is to become a Phys. Ed. teacher. Good luck Kay l Weezie E. LOUISE DODRER Commercial Littlgstcbwrii Pa. Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Operetta 1, 2, 3, 43 Camera Club 3, 49 County Chorus 45 Typist for The Littoman Echo 4. Wow! look at that speed demon pounding away at that old typewriter and cracking gum to match her speed. Don't your jaws ever get tired, Dodrer? We guess she doesn't have time to become tired being one of our industrious secretaries. Although a hard working gal, Weezie is always ready to join in the fun. She is a good roller skater and can be seen at Rainbow on Sunday nights skating with a tall, dark, and handsome lad. Louise's ambition is to become a private secretary to some big business executive. Here's wishing her success and happiness through the coming years in the profession she has chosen. . i Betty ELIZABETH C. ECKENRODE Academic Littlistcbwrs Pa. Operetta 1, 2, 3, 45 Volley Ball 35 Basketball lg Glee Club 2, 3, 45 Library Club 43 Typing Club 3. Are you reading another book? Betty enjoys reading and makes very frequent trips to the library. Bookworm is not a suitable name for her because she has also been interested in sports throughout her high school days and was on the volley ball team last year. She was out for basketball several times but something always happened so that she couldn't continue, but she was regularly on hand for intramural contests and played a swell game. Betty has received a lot of teasing about her frequent absences from school but since she wants to become a nurse we know she'll learn to be always on the job. Ruthie RUTH D. EPPLEMAN Commercial 106 W. King Street Littlestown, Pa. Camera Club 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Operetta 19 Library Club 3. Tall and slim, Ruthie towers above the rest of us but is very down to earth in desires and ways. School hours found her busy in the Commercial Room typing papers for Miss Martin. After Maple Avenue rush was over at 3:30, Ruth headed for the Windsor and made that Packing Room buzz with activity. The name Tom seems to rate high on her date book and in the evenings we find Ruthie at Taneytown or Union Mills dancing. Her real desire after graduation is to become a house- wife and it doesn't look like the fulfillment of this is too far away. We wish her every happiness in her future life. Fifteen Ever DORIS M. EVERHART Commercial 110 Boyer Street Littlestown, Pa. Basketball 1, 2: Camera Club 4: Twirling Club 35 Operetta lg Athletic Association 4. What on earth was that sound coming from the Senior English Class? Well, we've found out it was just Giggles and her pals raising a racket when Mrs. Wingert left the room. Yes, Doris was well known for giggling in English and reading a book in P. 0. D., but she can work too, and perhaps you've seen her fingers flying over those typewriter keys. After school she hurried to the Windsor and what did she do with all her money? About three nights out of the week Doris can be seen at the movies, after which she enjoys eating banana splits and plenty of chocolate candy which agrees with her any time of day. Doris, after experimenting with factory and commercial work, wants to become a secretary. Good luck. 'Teeser ARVETA R. FEESER Commercial Littllfftown, Pa. ' . D. 2 Basketball 3, 4: Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4: Softball 3: Volleyball 3: Camera Club 3, 43 County Chorus 2, 3, 45 Glee Club 2, 3, 45 Littonian Stan' 4. Who's that blonde in that '36 Plymouth? It's none other than Feeser parking with only a few seconds to cross the threshold of 101 before the bell rings. She is well liked by everyone and always ready for having-fun especially after basketball games la regular patron of Hainesll Arveta was a very active member of the Glee Club and takes much interest in athletics. Although she was enrolled in the Commercial Course her greatest desire is to become a clothing designer. Here's hoping she attains her ambition. . Charlie CHARLES L. HALL Academic 90 N.

Senior Play 4g High School Play 4 5 Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4: Basketball 1: Baseball 2,45 Band 4: Glee Club 2,3,4g Camera Club 4: Collectors' Club 43 Dra- matic Club 25 Soccer 4: Senior Fire Patrol 4: County Chorus 4: Class His- torian 1, 2, 3, 4g Athletic Association 4. Hey Charlie what's the answer to this Trig problem? How do you do our Physics, Jack? Yes, you guessed it, Hall's one of the scientific whizzes of the senior class. His fame C?J has spread so far and wide that he was one of the seniors chosen to take the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Test. These are not the only things that have made him an outstanding class mate. How 'bout Bogeyman that blackman who stole your heart away? Furthermore, when that boy works he really puts his nose to the grind. The band members and soccer team can vouch for Charlie having playep the cymbals so hard they broke and hav- ing been the seniors' outstanding scorer. We feel assured that he will carry this talent into his chosen ambition, civil engin- eexing, and make his goal. Best wishes! Essie ESTHER B. HANKEY Commercial Littlestown, Pa. R. D. 2 Glee Club 2 5 Piano Club ap Athletic Club 4, Basketball 3. The Class of '47 proudly presents-fthe Champion Cherry Pie Maker of L: H. S.-Esther. All right boys, line forms to the right but no guarantee of a cherry pie with every date. This curly headed gal likes to dance too and is often seen Bar- low bound. Essie is a good jane and takes part in all active sports when she doesn't have to be hurrying home to tuck the chickens in bed,-she's a farmer you know and does a great chicken business. After graduation she plans to attend beauty culture school and some day have a place of her own. Success is our wish for her. .K Q Sixteen Lorky J. DOLORES HAWK Academic ' 149 E. King Street Littlestown, Pa. Glee Club 2, 3, 45 Typing Club 35 Camera Club 45 Athletic Association 45 Operetta 1, 2, 3, County Chorus 35 Student Librarian 3, 4. Every morning you could see-this tall lanky senior girl hurrying across the playground two or three minutes or-well, she usually made it. When Lorky arrived she hurried to finish her French lesson which somehow didn't get done until the last minute. Dolores is also a busy girl outside of school for she has been Working after school saving to go to college for she wants to teach young 'uns. We feel sure she'll be able to keep her pupils quiet because she did a swell job as student librarian keeping the noise down to a minimum in the library. Here's hoping this ability sticks with her and her pupils learn a great deal under her teaching! Jackie JACQUELINE B. HOCKENSMITH Academic Littlestcgvn, Pa. ' . .1 Orchestra 2, 3, 45 Band 3, 45 Glee Club 2, 3, 45 Dramatic Club 35 Operetta 15 County Chorus 45 All-State Orchestra 3. A pleasing smile, and a pair of dimples-that's our Jackie who plays the bass violin in band and orchestra. Boy, listen to her sound out those bass notes! Bright and early every morn- ing you saw 'her coming in the Gettysburg pike. Yes, jackie is from the country and what's more that's where her heart belongs. With wedding bells ringing in her ears and that sparkler no her left hand, third finger, which a farmer boy named Carroll gave her, it seems a sure thing that life on a farm will be her future lot. May matrimony be bliss, Jackie! 'Charb CHARLOTTE L. HOFE Academic 121 E. King Street Littlestown, Pa. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 45 Glee Club 2, 3, 45 Sports' Editor of The Littonian Echo 45 Class Representative 15 Class Secretary 35 Typing Club 35 Camera Club 45 Operetta 1, 2, 35 Softball 35 Volleyball 35 Journalism 1, 2, 3, 45 County Chorus 45 Monogram Club 35 Athletic Association 4. There goes Charb to Room 101 again, Maybe you've heard this said about her sometime during the year. She has been on the staff of our school paper for four years and has done a good job as Sports' Editor as everyone knows who has read her articles in The Littonian Echo. Charb has been very active in sports having played guard on the girls' basketball team and played in softball and volleyball games. She-has also participated in the Glee Club activities singing alto. A lot of Charlotte's time outside of school is spent at the skating rink in Taneytown where you've probably seen her. Her ambition is to become a nurse and we are confident that her cheerful per- sonality will aid her patients on the road to recovery. , Fran FRANCES V. KING Academic Littgestogwn, Pa. . . l r Glee Club 2. 3, 45 Dramatic Club 35 Typing Club 45 Operetta 2. Who is that coming into home room after the devotions are over? It's none other than Frances King. Although she may be late in coming to school she never lets a minute go idly by forduring her spare time she was usually busily engaged in writing letters to a certain scmeone or leisurely reading a book. Frances is a good sport and takes much teasing from her friends. Although she doesn't participate in any games outside ofschool, she loves to attend and enjoy them. .Her desire to become a nurse oribeautician is indefinite but we want to wish her much success in any vocation she may choose.

KLINEFELTER Academic Gettryisbgrg, Pa. . . 5 ' Dramatic Club 2: Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4: Band 1, 2, 3, 4: Typing Club 3g Library Club 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Assistant Editor of The Littonian 4: District Chorus 4: County Band 3, 4: County Chorus 2, 3, 4: Student Librarian 4. ' Hi 'ya Doc ! This is what we'll probably be saying to this young lady sometime in the future. Hylda, who is ambi- tious and very intelligent as you know when you take a glance at all those A's on her report card,- has set a high goal for her- self, aspiring to be a doctor. But it isn't all work and no play either for she is very musically inclined charming many with her lovely soprano voice. Remember the Forensic Contest and the Cantique de Noel? Playing the trumpet and piano accord- ian is right down her alley too. Though the medical career may have its obstacles, we know she'll tackle it with the same victorious spirit she did her studies. Go to it, Hylda! ,. Dot DOROTHY LEE KNIGHT Commercial 22 Newark Street Littlestown, Pa. Basketball 1, 2, 3: Senior Play 4: High School Play 2, 4: Dramatic Club 39- Camera Club 4: Softball 3: Operetta 1, 2, 3: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: County Chorus 4: Athletic Association 4. Three out of five days is often the attendance record for Dot at school. If we gazed through a window of 101 she could often be seen strolling leisurely along without a worry in the world even though the bell rang long before. Dot has been very active in the dramatic field. Whenever there was a play and this small dark-haired girl appeared on the stage the au- dience was spellbound. This mighty mite likes sports and spends most of her leisure time going round and round on wheels. Another main interest is a certain boy from Thur- mont who visits Newark Street regularly. Whether she chooses to be an air hostess or a housewife we wish her lots of luck. Josie JOSEPHINE M, LIPPY Commercial Littlleftmbwni Pa. Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Operetta 1, 2, 3: Orchestra 2, 3, 4: Library Club 3: Athletic Association 4. Who is that hopping off the school bus? Why it's Josie who hails from Kingsdale way. Josephine spent a lot of time in the Typing Room where she pounded that typewriter for dear life. Some people might call her quiet and shy but they don't keep that opinion for long because she can rattle on like the best of us. Maybe you've seen this girl bowing the violin in orchestra? Well, that's Josie and her violin will certainly be missed next year. She wants to continue her commercial studies and plans to enroll in a Baltimore business school. May success be hers!

The dark haired lass seen crossing the playground, and, maybe the lawn on a windy day with her sophomore nieghbor, is our friend Mac, On entering the building she could be seen busily hurrying and scurrying in the corridor to a journal- ism meeting or the library where every thing was in ship shape order when she sat behind the desk acting as student librarian. Some day in the future we hope to see her sitting behind another kind of desk with a white cap on her head-this time act1ng,as head nurse.

Band 1, 2, 3, 4: Twirling Club 3, 4: Athletic Association 45 County Band 8, 4. Shirley is that senior girl who can boast of having the long- est hair in the class. We can't say the same for her ideas for they are as modern as those of the best of us. She may seem to have a quiet nature but she can find plenty to talk about when she's in the mood. She has been a reliable member of the high school band playing second clarinet. Shirley can be proud of her school record for she has been a good student with an ex- cellent attendance record. On Sunday nights she has often been seen driving that green Chevie towards Westminster to see a good show. She is undecided about her future but in whatever she engages we wish her happiness. Wib WILBUR I. MAYERS Industrial Arts 347 E. King Street Littlestown, Pa. Soccer Manager 4: Band 45 Senior Fire Patrol 4: Home Ec. C lub 35 Atl: letic Club 4: Operetta 1. If you happen to hear a loud boom don't be alarmedfor it's only Wib beating his bass drum. Besides being a mem- ber of the band he is interested in sports having been manager of the soccer- team this year. Wib is one of our most in- dustrious 'shop students as he even has a wood working shop of his own and works for his uncle in the upholstery business. Last year he won the title of Van Johnson for being the neatest boy in L. H. S. and we know this good habit will benefit him throughout life. Every 'Friday and Saturday night he can be seen going down Prince Street to see a lassie known to us as Janet, After graduation he hopesrto continue with his shop and in the near future start a business of his own. With oh's and ah's L. H. S. bids farewell to its Van Johnson. J'Erma E ERIVIA 'V'. Commercial 408 S. Queen Street Littlestown, Pa. Glee 'Club 3, 4, Library Club :sg Camera Club 4. A . - Do you want to meet a quiet senior? Well, here's Erma, the:-type of girl we are sure Mr. Stavely wishes he had more of in homeroom. This is the young lady who usually handled the money around school. This bit of conversation was not unusual in Mr. Stavely's study halls. Now Erma in about ten minutes you can take the money to the bank. Then away she went with it safely tucked under her arm. Working gal-yes sir-ree --one of the Windsor shoe employees-and after work a tan Dodge waiting with a guy named Ray who goes with it to wisp her away home at the end of Baltimore Street. Erma, may luck of the Irish and the good fortune of a rabbit's foot be yours! Reds CHARLOTTE L. MOTTER Academic Littlgstcbwrg Pa.

Time to pause for a long low whistle. Yes, Charlotte really looked neat leading the band with her high stepping and fancy twirling. Reds fthe only one in the classy doesn't display the temper her hair seems to suggest but is a jolly, fun loving kid especially in P. O. D. fand, oh, some of the capers she cut back in that cornerlj As the girls' basketball manager she was on the ball and her score keeping will be missed in the future. With her ability to get along with children we'll probably be sending our kids to schoolma'rm Motter some day. Good luck in the teach- ing profession! N ineleen Ruthie RUTH E.

Where's Ruthie ? Oh, there she is behind the candy case selling candy for all she's worth! Ruth happens to be one of the smallest girls in her class. In her junior year, her neat dress and personality aided her in winning the title of Miss ,Iune Allyson of L. H. S. She has also proved efficient as class treasurer during her four years at L. H. S. and has been successful in her secretarial work for Mrs. Walker. Not only is she sharp in French but she can beat out a mean tune on her typewriter as well.

Did you hear that giggle at the other end of the hall? Well, you can be pretty sure it was Matsy, the happy-go-lucky of the senior class. She is well liked by everyone and is usually seen with a certain other senior girl. If Mats is not seen at the Rainbow, she can probably be found driving her '37 Chevie to Haines. She has participated in a number of activities but her chief interest was basketball. Mats can also look on the serious side of life and her ambition is to be a nurse. We feel sure that Matsy will have little trouble preparing for this pro- fession and best wishes are extended in her endeavors. Abie EARL A. REBERT Industrial Arts 210 M Street Littlestown, Pa.

If you do, just ask Abe who knows about the gadgets on a Farmall. Abie has been a super manager of the Thunderbolt basketball team and helped to bring in those points in the intramural bask- etball games. He could always be seen working away right before a play hurrying to get the scenery done on time. In fact thats' about the only time we saw him hurry because he usually takes life very calmly especially getting up early in the morn- ing. Abie is one of the students to whom the adviser dropped a few reminders to be on time. The class of '47 sends him on with best wishes. Johnny JOHN A. REBERT Commercial Littlgtown, Pa. .

This blonde senior who wears the red coat that clashes with a certain female's in the junior class and a guy who has a kind word for everybody is our Johnny. During his fresh- man and sophomore year he was somewhat quiet and easy going but man the last two years found Johnny every- where. He is the fellow who made the Commercial Room sound like a machine gun nest and who can type faster than Iturbi could play Polonaise in A Hat. John has a way of making friends and is popular with every one as we observed during the noon hour when he had a flock of females around him. Johnny plans to attend Shippensburg to prepare for teaching. We know he will be a great success and he deserves it! Twenty Dreamboat CARROLL E. REED Industrial Arts Littlestown, Pa. R.

An optomist-yes, every class has them and ours is Car- roll-carefree, not a trouble-that's he. Easy going may rate high on his list of characteristics, but spunk is way up there too as he has proven in his excellent soccer performance as half- back. What did he care for kicks and bruises as long as he could keep the ball going down the field? Dreamboat d1dn't show much interest in the opposite sex until this year but now he's certainly gone to town--every town. A gal in every sur- rounding community-that's Reed's motto. Here's hoping he carries his success in getting acquainted with the lassies into life and really makes his career superb! Dolly DOROTHY L. REINDOLLAR Commercial 57 Crouse Park Littlestown, Pa. Library Club 3, 4, Student Librarian 4: Glee Club 2, 4. Noise, noise everywhere, no one to stop it anywhere. This applies to everyone in study hall except Dorothy but we can't ever blame her for getting us into trouble. She is a very quiet and studious person with a smile and a hello for everyone. This year she proved to all that she was a good sport for any girl who can stand up to a mouse and not complain deserves an applause. Her favorite hobby is reading-one book right after another-also doing her French lesson. Dolly's future looks bright and happy leaning toward the business world. We feel sure her employer will never fret over her work. Best wishes! Marne J. MARVIN ROBERTS Commercial 69 N. Queen Street Littlestown, Pa. Operetta 15 Camera Club 3g Athletic Club 4. After four years of L. H. S. with Marve he grows on you, He is one of the most affable chaps in the senior class, and is always neat and well groomed usually preferring bright colors, sometimes loud socks that almost talk. Marve is always polite to everyone and in study hall he always seemed to be working on one of those mysterious looking office practice books. If, in the future, Marvin should make office work a permanent vocation, we can be sure he willnbe an asset in what- ever he chooses to do. We won't need to wish him good luck, we know he'1l have it.

Maybe you saw him in there fighting in some of the toughest basketball games or was it on stage in any number of plays? just take a look at that list of activities-he has been in practically everything that L. H. S. offers and he hasn't dcne too bad in his studies. Bob is also noted for his tenor voice which has sounded out above everyone else in Glee Club and the Operettas. Bob's night life is spent with a certain little brown haired girl named Shirley. We wonder what will happen when they go away to different colleges. For a long time he wanted to be a civil en- gineer but now it seems he has changed his mind. However, he is still mechanically minded and we say, Go to it, Bob. Twenty-one Bud CLARENCE L.

I We always knew Bud was around if we heard a smooth baritone voice sounding out above all the noise that might be in study hall after the teacher walked out. With this voice he has really made a name for himself in operettas and the For- senic Contest. Many times you have seen him in his sleek Chevie speeding toward Two Taverns to pick up his Pug and bring her to the basketball game or other school doings. Bud was one of the top hoop scorers in the county and played a good game as center on the Thunderbolts' team. Other sports are tops with him and he'd like to go South to a baseball school, then into the big leagues. Our best wishes go with him in his attempts. Count Basie HERBERT J. SELL Academic 26 E.

Perhaps you have seen Herb leading a snappy dance band which many people enjoy or maybe just playing the piano for a group of friends. On days when he didn't have to go to school you could find him helping his dad with wallpapering. He has shown us that he can do this job well and always seems to enjoy such work but music still reigns as his profession. The Count has been a fine classmate and always willing to help a friend. We hope that sometime soon he can get his orchestra's nanae in lights. The class of '47 wishes him all the luck he'll nee . Needie ONEIDA M. SNYDER Commercial Littlgtcbwrg Pa.

Listen, who's that in the center of the crowd laughing as if she'l1 split a couple of ribs? That's right, it's that Snyder kid whose personality certainly added much to the class since she enrolled in L. H. S. during the freshman year. Any place where there was noise and a gay time you'd be sure to find Needie for she's ready to do anything from taking a 'fleavef' from school to scaring meek little girls by putting mice in their lockers. But she is interested in work too for around 8:15 you could almost always be sure to find her in 104, going over her French. Truthfully Neeide is one swell girl and even 'though she's vague about her future we know as sure as shoot1n she will succeed. Polly PAULINE L.

This lass hails from Hanover and can be seen at Liggetts Drug Store over the week-ends. Polly is one of the happy-go-lucky girls of our class and because of her five feet, eight she has been a swell guard in interclass basketball games. She has been a regular member of the L. H. iS. band for the past four years and has done a splendid job tootmg her alto horn. Her ambition is to become a dress designer and the class of '47 hopes she'l1 run a good act. Twenty-two Doris DORIS E. SPANGLER Commercial Littlastimnwri, Pa. Band 1, 2, 3, 45 Operetta 19 Camera Club 3, 4. Well, look who's here. It's Doris back again. We almost gave her up for lost when she was ill so long this ye ar and from now on we hope she'll have the best of health. She has been an excellent commercial student and was often seen in Room 102 working away at shorthand, her favorite subject. This senior gal is a member of the clarinet section of the band and will be greatly missed next year. Her after school activities include being escorted to the movies by the owner of a '46 Ford and attending school functions. Her desire is to be a housewife and at the same time have a commercial career working in a bank, Our best wishes !!! Spang SHIRLEY M. SPANGLER Academic 76 N.

Running hither and thither is what this lassie does from morning til night and, if you want to see her, you'll find your- self doing the same for Spang is one of the busiest persons around L. H. S. She at least had her little finger in almost every activity in school. If you are doubtful just take a peek at the list of activities in which she participated. When Spang tackles a job she never gives up until it's finished no matter whether it be a basketball game or the latest issue of The Littonian Echo. After working in Hanover Hospital last summer, she decided to make her career a medical technician but this is just a stop off on the road to her real ambition- being one of the two main supports of a home. Spang is always happy and we believe that is what she will build her life on so we never need have fears for her success. Staubie S. LOUISE STAUB Vocational Home Ec. 148 W.

We took a peek into Room 2 recently, and what do you think we saw? Staubie was modeling another snazzie dress she had just completed-she's quite a seamstress when it comes to making new clothes. Not only will the Home Ec. Department miss her helping hand but so will the alto section of the Glee Club and trumpet of the band. Louise has had quite a time with her love life but Spurg rates high most of the time when they're not spatting . Since Staubie en- joys sewing, it is her ambition to become a clothes designer. The class of '47 sincerely wishes her the greatest success in her coming ventures. Libby ELIZABETH M. UTZ Academic Littlistrbwn, Pa. . . 1 Band 15 Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Operetta 1, 2, 3, 49 Typing Club 3, 4. Who's that girl with the dark curly hair spinning around that skating rink? You guessed it, of course, Lib Utz. Play first, work second, has been Libby's schedule throughout high school. Her attendance at Rainbow often seemed, better than her attendance at school for it seems she was often missing on those blue Mondays. Lib has been a swell friend always ready to laugh at anyone's new joke or listen to their latest complaints and we know she will be missed as one of the jol- liest seniors. She is undecided if college shall be her lot, but if it isn't she can always fall back on skating. Here's wishing her smooth skating in life. Twenty-three Jim JAMES M.

Who is that tall, dark and handsome young chap standing near 1,01 talking to the one and only senior red-head? ' Gee, how did you guess it? That's right, it's Jim, He's the boy who came to school with a pair of clod-hoppers and on Wed- nesday and Friday you could see him bringing his King Trom- bone for band. In band he has made quite a name for himself for he played since he was in seventh grade, has been in District Band for the past two years and County, three. When intra- mural basketball season started he was always on hand. At soccer games whenever a flash went by, no one wondered for they all knew it was Jim, the lineman for the team. He is well liked by everyone and is an all-around Joe, He is un- decided about his future but in whatever work he plans to en- gage we know he'll attain his goal. Wilkie THOMAS H.

This was the spirit he showed all during the good ole school days eager, ready to do things, other than school work and how! Wilkie is a fine fellow, liked by all the students and always has a few words or a smile for everyone. We can't forget him when it comes to soccer for he was the goal keeper, and he allowed few points to be made by the opposing teams. Thomas has a wide variety of occupations to choose from and, what- ever his choice, may his future be bright. Jan JANET M. WINTRODE Vocational Home Ec. Littlestown, Pa. R.

Of course, Jan is among that group of girls using her certain knack for talking which everyone comes up against once they get to know her. She is a stellar intramural basketball forward and has helped to score many points. Janet turned out some tasty dishes during the few weeks we had a cafeteria and she has also done a lot of other excellent work in home ec. We know she'll be a good housewife with all her home making training and may she make things ever run smoothly for herself and hers as she did in the past. Jeannie JEAN E.

Remember how many times we yelled those words and she usually came through with two points. Jeannie with the light brown hair has also given a helping hand to many other school activities mainly the Glee Club. Her por- trayal of Mama Liza sure swept everyone to the deep South. As-one of the Yealy family she is often seen in the five and ten giving the customers quite a sales talk-she enjoys her nivork and would like to have a store of her own some day. In what- ever goal she engages we wish Jeannie the best of everything.

CSignedD Class of 1947 Littlestown High School Robert Scholl Herbert Sell Shirley Spangler Witnesses. Twenty-seven Look Into The F utwre 1957 Hurrying aboard ship one late April evening, whom did I encounter but my old classmate from high school days Marion Bankert. Not having much time to talk, we made a dinner date that evening. After checking over the supplies in sick bay and settling my self in my stateroom, I went to the dining room to await the arrival of Marion where I saw Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Harner and Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Miller fMrs. Miller was the former Jacqueline Hockensmithl celebrating their wedding anniversaries by taking a second honeymoon in Southern France. This promised to be a more pleasant trip then I anticipated. While enjoying the meal set before us and talking of the happy times we had together, our conversation soon drifted to our other classmates and we wondered where they were. Marion told me of the completion of the new ten story professional building in New York where Hylda Klinefclter had her office. She had a thriving medical practice in addition to her duties at the hospital. She had employed, as an office nurse, Betty Eckenrode. When looking around we found practically everyone had left the dining room so hurriedly we headed for the lounge. Here we talked to the Harners and Millers. LeRoy told us David Reinaman was doing post-graduate work at Harvard and Jackie gave us the whereabouts of Janet Wintrode. She was married and the mother of two children. She and her husband owned one of the largest dairy farms in Wisconsin. The six of us went to the ballroom where I had a surprise for them-Herbert Se11's orches- tra was making it's first crossing and provided music for dancing while going over. When we walked in, their guest soloist was singing and, to our astonishment, it was Bud Schwartz. They both were big hits in thc states. We sincerely hoped they would have the same success in Europe. Enjoying the companionship of my old friends, the voyage seemed quite short. After landing at Le Havre we all bid fond adieu. The captain told us that our ocean liner would lay over in the harbor for a few days, so, taking advantage of this,I decided to fly to Paris. It was just my luck that an American Clipper had been forced down at the Le Harve airport the night before and was going on to Paris in a half-hour. After much wrangling I finally was able to travel on the clipper. I was relieved about getting into Paris sooner and it also delayed my use of French language which was practically non-existent. I heard a pleasant familiar voice saying Fasten your safety belts, lease. I turned quickly to see if I could be- lieve my ears. Yes, the hostess was Dorothy Knight. We talked while traveling and Dot told me Elizabeth Utz and Frances King were hostesses too. Upon arriving at Paris, I registered at one of the hotels and went to my room to refresh myself. Calling room service for my lunch- but when I asked I found the operator to be Louise Dodrer. She was free that evening so I asked her to join me in going to the theater. During the performance, we noticed a wonder- ful dancing couple. The girl was a petite blonde and a very graceful dancer. When she danced to the right of the stage where we were sitting we thought the face was familiar-but we were not sure. After the dance was over and they reappeared, we were convinced that the blonde Twenty-eight dancer was former classmate, Jeanne Baughman. After the show we went to Miss Baughman's dressing room to talk with her. Louise heard that Arveta Feeser, a new and up-coming de- signer, was attending a fashion show here so we called her to meet us at Jeanne's apartment. She promised us a surprise in the form of three of her friends who were none other than Louise Staub, Jean Yealy and Erma Miller who worked for the same firm she did. Across the street from Jeanne's apartment Esther Hankey and Oneida Snyder operated a Parisian beauty shop. We all had a hilarious time. My stay in Paris was over and I arrived in Le Harve again. I encountered Thomas Wilt, a maritime officer, on one of our merchant ships who was also back to the wharf so we got a taxi together. Tom told me that Carroll Reed and Earl Rebert opened a helicopter and an automobile service station and from all reports were doing well. Wilbur Mayers was operating his own carpentry shop in Littlestown, too. We left LeHavre that evening but, being quite tired, I retired early. The next morning, back at my duties, I ventured into the captain's office where I saw a list of the passengers and while glancing over it I saw the names-Charles Hall and Robert Scholl. Here were two more classmates and in my first free time that day I sought them. I found them and we talked a while before I went back on duty. Charlie was an architect who was rapidly gaining recog- nition. Bob was one of his draftsmen. They told me John Rebert and Albert Bair were teaching in the same school in California. They asked me if I knew Dolores Hawk and Char- lotte Motter were chaperoning a group of girls on a tour of New England. The day we were to land in New York an elderly gentleman fell down a fiight of stairs and broke his leg. I accompanied him in the ambulance to Leister Memorial. After notify- ing his relatives, I took the opportunity to look around the place. I found Madaline Plunkert in charge of pediatrics. -After getting off duty, she escorted me around. In the laboratory, Technican Shirley Spangler was busy experimenting. They told me Char- lotte Hofe was here with a private case and that Ruth Myers was a receptionist. We all went to dinner and to church that evening to hear a young minister, james Wehler, speak. His sermon was very impressive and we were in- spired immensely. The girls told me Kay Crouse was teaching in Boston now and Doris Conover, Ruth Eppleman and Dorothy Reindollar were working in offices downtown while Josephine Lippy and Doris Everhart were typists at the air terminal over in Newark. While resting in my apartment that evening and skimming over a Philly paper, my attention was drawn to an article headed Marvin Roberts Named Head of American Shoe Manufacturers. Glancing over the article I found he was ac- companied to the meeting by his secretary, Shirley Matthias. The next day in the mail I received a letter from Pauline Spalding which gave me the minute details of Doris Spangler's big church wedding. Polly, a dressmaker, was coming to a convention in New York City. After answering her letter, I marveled that in the past few weeks I had either met, or heard the whereabouts of all my former high school classmates.

Those were the most frequently used words in the vocabulary of the studious looking girls and boys who made their debut to a high school career on that drizzly morning in September 1944. Returning to L. H. S. in the fall of 1945 we took up the school activities as silly sophomores. By this time we had several members of the class represented in the majority of extra-curricular activities. The main event of this year was the choosing of class rings which occured in May. After three months vacation we resumed our studies as jolly juniors. This year proved to be the highlight of our completed school years. In October we experienced the long awaited moment-the arrival of our class rings. Time passed swiftly and on March 21 the members of the class portrayed their acting ability in the presentation of the Junior Play Crack-Up. The last event of importance of '47 was the Junior-Senior Prom held in April. And so the third chapter of the History of the Class of '48 is closed, only to be con- cluded next year.

This group is now better known as the Class of '49, At first all were a little slow at adjusting themselves to their new environment, but before the year was over mem- bers of the class had proved their worth in every phase of high school life, including sports, dramatics and music as well as the standard academic work. The following year saw great changes in the class. The first of these changes was surely numerical for we were able to count only fifty students as members of the group. The second change was a personal one. Instead of a group of relatively serious young people, we had become a group that really deserved the name of silly sophomores. Despite these changes, members of the class were even more active in academic and extra-curricular work than ever before. This fact caused many of them to look forward to the time when they will be jolly juniors instead of silly sophomores' ' Albert Stock, Historian.

FRE HMA CLASS HI TQRY On a bright autumn morning in 1946 designated by the calendar as September 3, sixty-seven young and intelligent looking creatures strolled up the steps of L. H. S. and got their first idea of what high school life was going to be like for the next four GD years. Of course, there were those embarrass-- ments which come naturally to all freshies during the first few days of school such as getting to the wrong classroom, etc., but after several weeks they finally became accustomed to the new environment. Instead of an initiation, a tug-of-war between the freshmen and sophomores was staged soon after the school term started with the first year students winning and being treated to an ice cream party by the losers. As freshies , we were always seen as well as heard. Many of the members of the class were active in the extra-- curricular activities of the school, some participating in the various sports, the Band, High School Play, and High School Operetta. Thirty-eight FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY- fContinuedl On April 18, members of the class enjoyed a trip to Harris- burg, our state capital, which was a project in Pennsylvania History Class. As the term nears an end members of the group are looking forward to the school picnic and then to the time when we again enter the corridors of L. H. S. next fall no longer as freshmen but as sophomores. Richard E. Wolfe, Historian.

Thirty-nine ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATIO This year the Monogram Club was replaced by the Athletic Association. The organization started at a preliminary meeting at which an executive council composed of Albert Bair and Shirley Spangler, seniors, Treva Bowers, junior, Richard Mehring, sopho- moreg and Everett Feeser, freshman was chosen. This group then drew up a constitution. At a second meeting the organi- zation was completed, the constitution adopted, and officers con- sisting of Robert Scholl, president, Charles Hall, vice president: Oneida Snyder, secretary and James Myers, treasurer, were elected. The main purpose of this organization is to promote and con- tinue good sportsmanship, to give athletic awards, to help regu- late school sports, and other things for the good of athletics. The association depends on the students for its existence and here's hoping all will continue to support it in years to come. SPRING BASEBALL L. H. S. was again a member of the Adams Counnty Interscholastic Baseball League this year. There were eight teams in the or- ganization consisting of Littlestown, New Oxford, East Berlin, York Springs, Boiling Springs, Arendtsvjlle, Biglerville, and Fair- field. Last year the Thunderbolts were co- champions with Biglerville. This season the team was handicapped because of few experienced players and a new diamond, but they did fine work and played a fine brand of ball. Mr. Clayton Evans was the man, too, for the diamond crew this year and he showed fine coaching during the spring season. The seniors on the team were: SPORT Carroll Reed, Charles Hall, Clarence Schwartz, Earl Rebert, Robert Scholl, and Albert Bair, manager. SOFTBALL For the second consecutive year the girls have had a spring sport, softball. They had a very successful season last year when they won all their games. Again this year there was just as much interest and many girls participated and, though no trophy was at stake, Miss Me1lott's squad played hard against their opposing teams. The girls belonged to no league but played other schools of the county - Biglerville and New Oxford. F orly-two Front row Cleft to rightj-G. Bair, R. King, A. Bair, captain, C. Hall, E.

SOCCER This year soccer was again added to our sports program. With Mr. Evans as coach the Thunderbolts won the County Soccer League Championship. They en- countered stiff opposition but weathered the storm and were victorious in six games, while tieing one and losing a game to the East Berlin booters. The boys showed real skill regardless of the fact that none had ever played soccer before. The trophy which was won represents hard play and good sportsmanship. Seasons' Scores L. H. S.

The boys' basketball team this school term consisted of an inexperienced group of cagers which was molded into a fine work- ing team by the able and constant coaching of Clat Evans. Although the T hunderbolts didn't live up to their name at times and lacked some of their thunder they finished the season with a .636 average. Any team that bucked up against our boys knew they had a battle on their hands for they fought hard to give their Alma Mater a victory in every game and never once did they stop lighting even when the chips were down. So here's saying Nice going fellows for a job in which you did your best. L. H. S. OPP. L. H. S.

Coached by Mr. Evans the girls won ten, lost six, and tied two games. The Littlestown lassies proved more than once to be one of the best coached teams in the league judged by their precision plays and the smoothness with which they preformed. Sometimes they seemed to lack consistency in their superb playing, but this was supplemented by true sportmanships in victory and defeat. The team was a worthy representative of L. H. S. sports and was a real credit to the school. L. H. S. OPP L. H. S.

Hall SENIOR PL Y One of the big events for the Seniors was the annual play. ,The class went all out to make the Bogeyman a big success. A capacity audience, one of the largest on record at L. H. S., enjoyed this production on December sixth. The action of the play was centered around an old mansion on the Dixon College campus. The old build- ing was inherited by young Ez Dixon who lived there with his collegemate, Lanny Harper. The colored man Charlie added color and humor to the plot. The Sigma Gamma sorority stirred up the trouble and Pro- fessor Smith provided the clue to the mystery. The class did a fine job on their production and received many compliments on one of their final performances in Bogeyman. 'F orty-S even Seated left to right-L. Myers, P.Bowersg standing- H.

The characters were excellently portrayed by a fine cast shown on the accompanying picture. The story of the play was primarily that of a girl who was crippled on her wedding day and became quite bitter over her misfortune but with the help of an injured guest she found happiness and hope again. The sub- plot is centered around a boy who has a continuous downfall but regenerates heroically to save one he loves. F orty-eight Seated fleft to rightj-D. Dayhof, J. Baughman, B. Walker, H.

Other parts were played by Dorothy Knight, Jack Miller, Oneida Snyder, and Richard Little. It was directed by Mrs. Wingert. The setting began with an elaborate living room and ended with only the grand piano on stage. The characters were very ably protrayed and the production was excellent.

The organization has forty-six members and is led by Mr. Paul Harner. This year has been one of its best, with a full and varied schedule and it has participated in the Adams County Music Festival, Forensic Contest, Littlestown High's Spring Concert and assembly programs. When in full dress the band is a splendid sight to see with the boys in blue and gold coats, blue overseas caps, and white trousers, and the girls in blue and gold coats, blue overseas caps, and white skirts. The majorette is a perk little red head who does a fine job twirling her baton to the band's music. It will not be disbanded this summer and a number of engage- ments have already been booked. F zfly-onie THE GLEE CLUB If you have ever ventured near the auditorium on a Thursday afternoon first period, you could have heard the Glee Club vocali- zing under the direction of Miss Ruth Martin. This year the group was quite large and very active. There were ninety-five members with thirty-seven seniors, twenty-four juniors and thirty- four sophomores. These have participated in the Christmas pro- gram at which the senior soloist, Hylda Klinefelter, sang the Cantique de Noel. A group from the chorus was selected to sing at the Adams County Music Festival held at the Eddie Plank Gym on the Gettysburg College Campus. The following seniors were among that group-Marion Bankert, Arveta Feeser, Jacqueline Hocken- smith, Hylda Klinefelter, Oneida Snyder, Shirley Spangler, Mary Crouse, Charlotte Motter, Louise Dodrer, Louise Staub, Jean Yealy, Robert Scholl, Albert Bair, Charles Hall, Clarence Schwartz, Herbert Sell, Earl Rebert, and James Wehler. Hylda Klinefelter was selected to attend District Chorus held at Wm. Penn Senior High, Harrisburg. All members helped to make a success of the spring concert. F zfty-Iwo Left to right--'J. Yealy, A.

It was the only one given during the past three years which had a modern setting. The curtain opened on a lawn scene in front of an old southern mansion in Virginia. On stage was found Mrs. Courtney, the ladyof the household, Brenda Walkerg Downs, the caretaker, Robert Kingg Mammy Liza, Jean Yealyg Nancy and Jeanne, friends of Mary Ann, Hylda Klinefelter and Arveta Feeserg and Herbert, Herbert Sell, Bill, Richard Little, Ted, Richard Mehringg boys home from college. The steamer was supposedly seen coming up the river, bring- ing home from New York Mr. Courtney, a sheltered husband, George Hamer, Mary Ann Courtney, daughter of the plantation, Marion Bankertg Horace Ferguson, a city slicker, Robert Scholl, and Fanchon, Mary Ann's French maid, Lorraine Myers. The scene was put in an uproar with the arrival of Col. Waverly, Clarence Schwartz, and his nephew John Endicott, Albert Bair, a bashful aviator who was in love with Mary Ann. Last to appear on the stage was the Sheriff, Kenneth Boyd, who keeps popping in and out during the performance. The whole operetta was based on the stealing and regaining of the jade ear of a voo-doo idol which was in Liza's possession. F zfty-lhree THEM ORCHESTRA With these words, All right, let's go, Miss Martin brought the orchestra to attention. Though not having many engagements, the orchestra mem- bers have tried to give their best when called upon during the year. Seniors in the group were Jose- phine Lippy, Marion Bankert, Shirley Spangler, Jacqueline Hockensmith, Clarence Schwartz, Herbert Sell, Carroll Reed and Kay Crouse. FORENSIC The month of March was spent in diligent practice by many students for the Adams County Music and Forensic Contest held at Littlestown High this year. L. H. S. entered quite a few contestants including the High School Band, Boys' Quartet- Albert Bair, Robert Scholl, Clarence Sch- wartz, Richard Little, Girls' Trio-Marion Bankert, Hylda Klinefelter, Jean Yealyg Baritone Solo-Clarence Schwartz, Soprano Solo-Hylda Klinefelter.
