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. Ruthie may your happy smile cheer others as it has cheered us. Mats MADALINE C. PLUNKERT Academic Littlfftgvni Pa. Basketball 2, 3, 4: Volley Ball 3: Band 1: Student Librarian 2, 3, 4: Senior Play 4: Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4: Typing Club 3, 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Athletic As- sociation 4: Monogram Club 3. 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. Basketball Manager 3, 4: Baseball 2, 3, 4: Operetta 2: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Soccer 4: County Chorus 4: Home Ec. Club 3, 4. Do you want to know anything about a tractor? 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. . D. 1 Class Oflicer Csecretaryl 1, fpresidentj 2, 3: Operetta 1, 4: Dramatic Club 2, 3: Business Manager of Littonian 4: Camera Club 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4. 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

l Shirl SHIRLEY E. MATTHIAS Commercial Littlgstclgwrg Pa. 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. Operetta 1, 2, 3, 49 County Chorus 4g Majorette 3, 4: Basketball Man- ager 3, 49 Twirling Club 3, 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4, Athletic Association 4. 4 Look at the majorette of the L. H. S. band! 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

Dreamboat CARROLL E. REED Industrial Arts Littlestown, Pa. R. D. 1 Band 1, 2, 3, 45 Basketball 3, 4: Baseball 3, 4: Orchestra 45 Soccer 45 Athletic Club 35 County Band 3, 45 Athletic Association 4. 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.

H. S. Quartette 1, 2, 3, 4. We hear music in the air! Richard's boys are beating out the latest jive numbers with Bob on the horn. 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
