ERIC D. THOMPSON College Preparatory Huntingdon Valley His ideals lofty, his ambitions high To gain success he will surely try. Smile and look pretty. Here comes the class photographer. Eric was a very capable person to be in charge of the photography for our yearbook because photography was his pet hobby. Besides always being on the A honor roll, Eric was active in Safety, Science, Typ- ing, and Home Ec. Clubs. He was a member of the Lion's Roar Staff and also the junior and senior play casts. He says he likes girls, photography, sports, cars, and anything scientific, but French is not among his joys. For a bright future, Eric has the success formula if we ever saw one. HARRY W. THOMPSON, JR. Academic Bethaytes With his flair for sports and art Of our class he was an important part. Harry's interests were many and varied. 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' .,

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.

FREDERICK WETTER College Preparatory Huntingdon Valley With modest assurance and easy grace, 'he faces the years ahead Dependable, capable, honest, and true-all of these tell of Fred. When Fred joined our class as a junior from Frankford High, we gained and Frankford lost. Doc was always willing and ready to lend a helping hand in our many class activities, and his trusty Hutmobile saw much action. We will not forget his valuable ser- vice in prividing the lighting effects in both our junior and senior plays, and Barn Dance. Fred's main interest is in science and he was a very active member of the Science Club. He particularly likes radio work, but what he doesn't like is English and OLD CARS! In the future, Fred plans to attend college and pursue his scientific interests. We wish him success and achievement in his work.

ROGER WITTE General Huntingdon Valley We've had no cause to complain of Al A great fellow and a wonderful pal. Friendly, good-natured Al says he doesn't like school, even though he tried all three courses-Academic, Commercial, and Gen- eral. But nevertheless, he found many interesting activities to oc- cupy his time. Among them were Lion's Roar staff, Hi-Y, and Science Clubs. He participated in class intra-murals and also found time to work on the stage crew for the junior play. He likes canoeing but his special hobby is trap-shooting. After graduation, Roger plans to go in business for himself. He hasn't revealed what kind of business but we know he's had good, practical experience in his father'S business. In that or in another of his choice he's sure to make a go of it.
