ROBERT O'NIELL Commercial Rockledge We jestingly nicknamed, him B.O. But we never found a better fellow. llere was a really brave man in our class-the only male member of the Commercial Course! For more strictly masculine society, Bob joined the Home Economics and Science Club, and contributed his time and ideas to the Lion's Roar Staff. What are his special inter- ests? Skating, dancing, and swimming, and we think maybe a mild interest in hunting and fishing should be added. Bob's patience and ambition make that profession as a painter seem very promising. LOIS PENNYPACKER ' Langhorne Commercial A pal who will never let you down, A gal who laughs, but seldom frowns. Penny our sportsminded classmate was one of our more tal- ented members of the class when it came to basketball and intra- mural sports. She participated in the Tri-Hi-Y Club and was secre- tary of the bus patrol in the Safety Club. Her main likes are any type of sportsg her dislikes include reading books and doing dishes. Lois was an active member of the Business Department of our Yearbook and a member of the Lion's Roar for one year. After graduation, Lois hopes to get a secretarial job for a time and then take up a home- making profession. he will make a place for himself A JOAN MARY NEUMAYER General , Oakford Her quiet manner and sweet way Always brightened our long day When joan joined the L.M. ranks in tenth grade from Olney High, our class gained a loyal and active rooter We know joan for that pleasing disposition that never seems to be upset by even the most adverse of circumstances.

MURIEI.. JAYNE MCCOOK Commercial F easterville Full of pep and vim and vigor This girl is always on the trigger. Merrily suits this compact bundle of energy, for she smiles merrily and her eyes as well as her feet can dance. After Merrily came to us in her Senior year from Southampton High School she im- mediately became one of our willing and dependable workers. Her work with the art department of the Yearbook and her acting in the Senior play gave us further reason to admire her abilities. Merrily thinks that she would like to be a receptionist following graduation. We think she'll be a fine one. JAMES T. Mc LEAN, JR. General Somerton jimmy was featured throughout the land Now in his Studebaker-or, now in the band. jimmy was with us in ninth grade, moved and left us, but in his senior year returned to our great delight to join our happy family. While he was away from L,M. he participated in varsity sports and intra-murals. jimmy added much to the Hi-Y Club and to the band. fkemember how he modeled that uniform?J jimmy tells us that one of his future duties may include composing slogans for Pepsi-Cola. We hope jimmy's slogans hit the spot the way Pepsi-Cola does. THOMAS MESSINA General Huntingdon Valley Tommy is always a friend in need Surely, he is a friend indeed. Tommy, the boy with basketball in his blood and football in his mind, has featured in both varsity and intra-mural sports. Tommy is a real veteran of Lower Moreland because he's been here from first grade. Tommy was a member of Hi-Y and Science Clubs and presi- dent of this year's Hunting and Fishing Club. Another important extra-curricular activity for this all-around fellow was his part in the senior play. Definite future plans aren't exactly settled for Tommy yet, but as of now, he's thinking seriously of the Navy. Wherever-or whatever, Tommy, you have our good wishes. MARTIN C. MURPHY General Huntingdon Valley A merry, merry lad was he, Giving laughter, clean and free. Charlie, our irrepressible, fun loving mischief making class- mate, can always be depended upon to come through with that brand of humor-and common sense-that we all admire. He domonstrated his sportsmanship athletic ability during the three years he played class sports. Charlie's chosen clubs included the Safety and Home Economics Clubs.

pant- sy s ,. t MARIAN ROBERTS Commercial Trevose That little friends may prove great friends, Is proved by Marian-a perfect blend. They say that good things come in small packages and Marian has proven this statement. For her cheery smile, friendly person- ality, and dependable way, we shall especially remember her. Shorty played intramural sports in her sophomore, junior, and senior years. Besides membership in the Glee and Library Clubs, in her junior year she was Vice President and in her senior year, President of the Tri-Hi-Y. Marian's many likes include food, sports, fire engines, and stock cars, while she confesses to dislike school. As for those after graduation days, she plans to work for a time and then . . . someday get married. Commercial Shirley was one of our quietest members But her happy disposition we shall always remember. When Shirley came to us from Newtown High School in her senior year, it didn't take her long to get her skillful fingers in a few of the activities about L. M. Besides membership in the Typing and Safety Clubs, she proved her athletic prowess in her participation in intra- mural sports. Reading, horses, and sports-these Shirley claims as her special interests. But let's not forget that extra special interest, for Shirley is an ardent baseball fan! In the yearbook work, the busi- ness staff gained a competent worker when Shirley joined their ranks. We're all for the secretarial job, this pleasant classmate of ours is SHIRLEY E. E. SCH AFFER WILLIAM HENRY ROBERTS General Bryn Athyn If there were more firemen like our Rudy A burning house might be a pleasure instead of a duty. Rudy came from Bryn Athyn in the tenth grade and in him-the class of '51 found a friend who is always willing to give a helping hand. In addition to playing two years of football, he participated in class sports and was a member of the Hi-Y Club. He must be an easy man to please for he claims that he likes everything and dislikes nothing! With his flair for shop work, he has always been an able assistant for class projects. The junior play committees will not easily forget his help on the stage scenery. Although Bill hasnot decided definitely what he will do after school, we all wish him the best of luck.

Gather a sweet smile, a sense of humor, and a cheery disposi- tion, tie these into a small bundle and you get-Jeanette, our vivaci- ous bell ringer, who played three years of varsity basketball and one year of varsity hockey with her usual spirit and good sportsmanship.
