Nancy Jane Riley Commercial Huntingdon Valley Claude Raudenbush Academic Holland Snapper, aided and abetted by his pals, was usually in the process of carrying out a practical joke or thinking up another one. However. his hyper- active sense of humor didn't interfere with his good work as football manager. his active interest in all intramural sports, or his duties on Safety Patrol. Horse back riding, hot rods, and the weaker sex are other real interests. What of flat tires, Snapper? Our popular class secretary found time and energy to participate in cheer- leading, varsity basketball, Glee Club, Safety Patrol and to 'serve as feature ed- itor of the Lionls Roar and literary staff member of the Elmleo. Nancy's pleasing personality, attractive appearance, enthusiasm, and interest in class and school activities probably contributed much to the honor she received of being elected Maid of Honor to the May Queen and will contribute to a successful future. Joan Evelyn Shick Commercial Trevose Although Joan was one of our most quiet members, she was sociable and well- liked by all. Joan participated in intramural basketball, Glee and Safety Clubs. and was an eagle eye proofreader of the Lion's Roar staff. She tells us she enjoys winter sports, radio, hospital work, and meeting nice people. That combination should make for a happy, busy life, we think. Gordon E. Sickel General Trevose Even though he's quiet, and with the girls a little shy, behind his back they whisper, Our Gordy's one swell guy! Gordy proves our case that a fellow doesn't have to be a football hero or a Romeo to be popular with the fair sex. The baseball diamond was Gordy's favorite spot--and the pitcher's mound in partic- ular. Soccer and basketball kept him interested, too, but nothing proved quite so interesting as cars and electrical work. Gordy thinks he'5 headed forthe electrical business--a fine business for a fine fellow.

Kathrine L. Metzger College Preparatory Huntingdon Valley With Kitty Lou's sparkling eyes and radiant smile, is it any wonder why she is everybody's friend! As captain of the 1949 Warrioretts and Varsity guard in basketball, Kitty Lou proved to possess real sports ability. She was an outstand- ing member in the Safety Patrol and Glee Clubs. As co-editor of the yearbook and a valuable Lion's Roar member, Kitty's conscientious work made her an import- ant member of our class. So to this very helpful miss, we wish continued success in her college work at West Chester preparing for teaching Knot Frenchj.--that is, if marriage doesn't interfere. 1 Robert Charles Nankerville General Rockledge Athletic, friendly, and ambitious--that's our Bob, otherwise known as Romeo. Bob came to us in our sophomore year and became our class presi- dent in our senior year. He participated in all class sports, and was a member of the Athletic Cotmcil, I-li-Y, and Glee Club. Three major sports, basketball, base- ball, and football--claimed Bob's special attention and in all these varsity teams he was a valuable player. Bob is thinking of professional baseball as a career. Whether it's to be that or something else, Bob will find success and friends be- cause he's certainly got what it takes. Robert Ortlip General Feasterville Lower Moreland football fans are going to miss Mort who played varsity for three years. Sometimes when Mort was in the thick of things on the football field we found it difficult to think of him as the good-natured, happy-go-lucky, friendly fellow we lmew in the classroom. Mort has told us he enjoyed concentrating hard in Glee and Home Economic Clubs--and on sports and having a good time--but definitely was not interested in rising early in the morning or deep books. That's another reason we know for Mort's having lots of company and good friends. Elmer G. Propert General Bethayres When we think of Senator Cshort for Senator Claghornj we always think ofa reserved, quiet fellow who never asked for recognition for the many helping hands he extended to us during his years at L. M. Remember the wonderful help he was with our two plays--right on hand behind the scenes ready with hammer or paint- brush? Even though he insisted he disliked school, he apparently accepted his fate with good will and brightened the otherwise dull days by keeping his car in tip-top condition, enjoying Science Club,or by going hunting. And what is Senator's am- bition? He says he's think it over.

Joseph Salvadore Sorace General Huntingdon Valley A fellow who ranks high scholastically and yet is a true live wire when there is mention of class activity usually finds a real welcome in any crowd. Pasquale, with his contagious grin, was certainly a welcome member in our crowd and school. Joe found special enjoyment in soccer and football, but put forth most of his energy in the Safety, Science, Home Economics, and Glee Clubs. .Toe has set his next goal as graduation from The Williamson School of Mechanical Trades. Those of us who know J'oe's intense interest in all things mechanical, his seriousness of purpose, and his scholastic ability are sure that his goal will be achieved and that Joe will go on always to bigger and better things. We say, Here's to a good fellow! Joan Elinor Spierling Commercial Trevose Heights A real sense of humor, a friendly attitude towards all. and an initiative which is all her own are all a part of Squirrely's pleasing personality. She played hard and with good sportsmanship in intramural basketball and baseball, was a member of the Glee and Safety Clubs, and proved one of our most efficient, and dependable workers on many of our class committees--mainly as one of our play prompters. Her special fancies are sports and dancing plus typing for our Lion's Roar--with the speed and accuracy she shows in most of her work. Squirrely can't stand exams and the preparation before, but is determined to become a good private secretary. Everything points to fulfillment of that ambition. David Leonard Swanson General Trevose Dave, better knovm as Redman , has a good sense of humor and shows everyone that what's usually said about red heads is not true. He served as a loyal and hard-working teammate on the varsity football team and also in all the class sports. Science and Hi-Y Clubs were a few of his activities. Dave has many likes and interests, but his favorite is the fair sex. Dave was always ready for a good laugh, but not so ready for home-work. fwell--who is!J Harry .B. Swanson General Trevose Even though Wobb insists he has been counting the days until graduation, we think he'll really miss school--and us--and we know we'll miss his unexpected wisecracks and friendly ways. In or out of season, football and baseball are the center of Wobb's attention, with hunting filling ln the gaps. Wobb isn't much of a talker so we can't tell you his ambition. We'll just have to wait and see which road to success this quiet friend of ours will follow.
