CYNTHIA SIMON Academic Oakford Her sense of sportsmanship and desire for fair play Will last her along all of life's way. Cynthia, our more quiet classmate, was an active participant in sports around L.M. She played one year of varsity hockey and parti- cipated in class sports in all three senior high years. For her club memberships she chose the Typing, Shop, and Safety Clubs. 'Sissy was well known not only for her love of athletics but also for her ability to get along with people. Her mild temperament and consis- tent good humor made her a pleasant friend. In whatever she chooses to do after her graduation, we know that she will be a success-and we sayi'Good luck to you, Sis, now and always. RONALD E. SMITH General Langhorne A man's man we might call Smitty He's brusque, hearty, and at times even witty. Smitty has shown in his two years of varsity football that quality of fighting spirit which we all admire. In addition to this, he played class sports with the same vigor and was an interested mem- ber of the Hi-Y club. We all remember Smitty's portrayal of Tom in our junior play. In this he showed his dramatic ability to the class of '51. For his honesty in saying what he believes, his sense of humor and his ability to look upon the more serious side of life when nec- essary, we give a vote of appreciation to Smitt '-' With these ual . . . Y' q ' ities, we know that he will be a success in the trade which he plans to follow. HELEN PAULINE SPERLING Commercial Trevose Heights Her ready smile and winning ways Will make friends where'erp she stays. Helen is made of all things sweet and feminine. Perhaps this is partly due to the fact that she joined us from Kensington Girls' High. Her special interests are sewing, dancing, and swimming. In school she liked shorthand and bookkeeping but she didn't like such sub- jects as English and P.O.D. Helen also liked to sing and so she joined the Glee Club and participated in its various activities. After she graduates from high school she plans to be a stenographer and then join the United States Marines. This will indeed offer her a career both worthy and unusually interesting. JEAN FRANCES STAPFER Commercial Huntingdon Valley She's friendly, she's musical, she's always gay These are only a few of the things we could say. Talented, musical Jean was a faithful member of Glee Club, orchestra, and also sang in the choir. Besides her keen interest in music jean likes sports, particularly basketball, which she played for three years. She was also a very industrious member of the art department for the yearbook. Jean likes people-all people and life in general. She plans to engage in office work after she graduates. With her good training and liking for people she is sure to be a cap- able and charming asset to the firm that recognizes jean's many good qualities.

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. JEANETTE ANNE ROSCHER College Preparatory Rockledge Vivacious but with a sweetness unsurpassed ' Her happy smile came first-never last. 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. Jeanie was a member of the Typing, Tri-Hi-Y and Glee Clubs. Be- sides taking an active part in the literary work of the yearbook, she was business manager for the Lion's Roar in her junior and senior years. Another activity was her three year membership in the Student Council.

Among them were Hi-Y, Science, Typing, Art, and Safety Clubs. He liked basketball and participated in class intramurals. But what does Tex like best?. . . Horses! We agree that horseback riding is a swell hobby and that Tex is a top-notch horseman. He was a member of the Lion's Roar for one year, nor will we forget how well he played the part of jimmy in the senior play. After graduation, Harry plans to attend college. With his likable personality and quiet manner we are sure that Tex will continue to have friends and success in the wide, wide world. EDITH TROTTER Commercial g If Edith will remain just as she is today In future years we'll still admire her jolly pleasant way. Huntin don Valley When you talk about sports, you think of Edith, who was one of our most valuable players. She played both basketball and hockey for three years. When Edie hit that hockey ball it really went flying down the field. Of course she played in class intra-murals, too, being a definite aid to 5I's team. Edith was also a member of the Tri- Hi-Y Club for two years. She claims she doesn't like school, but she has been with us since first grade and in all that time she has been a friendly, cheerful classmate. However, Edith insists that she's all set to get a job after graduation. In that job we wish her success. HAROLD B. VIKOREN College Preparatory Huntingdon Valley We voted him as one most likely to succeed Because of his ability and many kindly deeds. Harold was the very efficient and capable editor of our yearbook and as you see, he did a swell job. Among his activities were Sci- ence, Home Ec., Typing, and Safety Clubs plus being exchange editor for the Lion's Roar. This busy classmate of ours also found time to participate in both our senior and junior plays. But with all these many interests, among which is traveling, Harold has one definite dislike, Math. However, his greatest enthusiasm is for busi- ness as'you can see from his activities, and after college he looks forward to a business career. ll 451' .,
