She goes out for all kinds of sports, and is especially interested in hockey. She scored a few goals which means more ribbons for the team's mascot. Sheaffer is also the cowgirl of the senior class. WILLIAM CLELAND SNEED LITTLE MOR'I ' Sneed is the life of any party, the wrecker of any car, the noisiest of any gang and the corniest jokester at any joke session. Bill is also known for his artistic ability and the voice which made the song he composed famous. RICHARD STAUFFER ' DICK My goodness! You never see Dick on Saturday nights with his roller skates and a group of fellows. Dick's wolfing days are over. With all that running to catch the last Lititz bus home from Erma's, he'll probably be a welcome specimen for the track team. LILY STEUDLER LILY Lily has a husky voice, a swell personality, a very serious inter- est in a male member of our class, and absolutely no Texas drawl. How come. pardner? THOMAS SWAN, JR. TOMMIIC Tommy will always be remembered as the little boy who al- ways adds to the welcome of any gathering. His drawing, enter- tainment, and acting talents have always been much in evidence. We're sorry his war job at Armstrong's keeps him out of so many doings this year. GRACE SWEITZER GRACII'I Who is the editor of the Year Book? Of course, Grace. Who was the Hi-Lite editor? Ditto. Our class writer also did well by herself in The Zombie , and many other occasions demanding a beautiful speaking voice. She plans to be a newspaper writer. PHILIP TERRY PHIL Phil is our mechanical expert who can always be depended on for a logical, common sense answer. His ship and plane ntodels are masterpieces of precision and execution. Phil will always do well in any venture he attempts. RICHARD WACNER DICK We're glad to hear Dickis majoring in chemistrygnow when he asks the questions that made him almost as famous as Baby Snooks, heill have to find the answer'for himself. But we're sorry we wonit be able to enjoy Dir-k's oratory at commencement. What a speaker! N

NEFF VUE 'X History of the Class of 1QLj,Zj. Manheim Township High School will long remember and, probably, just as long regret, the events immediately postdating the opening of the school term of '41-'4-2. It was on that auspicious occasion that the Class of ,441 commenced the unenviable task of being a member of the hallowed Senior High School. As we were very fresh frosh at that period in our course of being impregnated with the wisdom of the ages, our egos were deeply imbued with the drink of having successfully weathered nine years of fiendishly conceived educational schemes. Our sophomore year, with the exception of two outstanding events, was rather void of social activities. The first was the subsumption of the cream of our female crop into the Girl Reserve Club. Upon this assumption of power over their erstwhile competitors the M. T. H. S. feminine equivalent of Cafe Society's 4-00 organized a party consisting of themselves and the more desirable, eligible, and available male element of our class. The machinations of the weaker sex commenced with the tested and true Scavenger Hunt. From this pleasurable point events proceeded to the premises of the Y. W. C. A., where nutrition was supplied for the whole assemblage. The second was a roller skating party held at the ill-fated Olympia. Our junior year had approximately the same lack of social events. A time-honored hay ride momentarily brightened the prospects of several bored, but hopeful, juniors. Mr. and Mrs. Wenrich were present in a slightly different capacity than had probably been their habit previously. The procession terminated at the venerable Manheim Township Legion Post, where refreshments, games, and dancing occupied our attention until the hour was sufficiently far into the A. M. for us to return to our respective domiciles without earning the caustic jeers of our classmates directed at any unfor- tunate adolescent who dared obey, of all people, his parents. None of the events or happenings of this hay ride are set down here as the chronicler feels it far above and beyond his duty to record the actions of those of his classmates who imbibed too freely in the undisputedly desirable qualities of such a hay ride. These same bored, but hopeful, juniors then proceeded to suffer the nearly in- sufferable ennui which inevitably settles upon even higher institutions of learning such as our revered Manheim Township High School. This overcast upon our extra- curricular activities was cleared only slightly by a roller skating party and a bowling party organized by Mr. Wenrich's homeroom with Mr. Wenrich as sponsor and high scorer. ln accordance with the tradition of our school the two most eligible juniors were chosen to lead the Class of '43 in the baccalaureate service and commencement exer- cies. Arthur Thorn, then president of our class, and Jackie Emich received. de- servedly, the honor. Returning to these venerable halls the following September we came to the de- lightful and promising realization that we were seniors. With this revelation we auto- matically fell in with a set of rigid inflexible rules laid down by innumerable preceding senior classes. This information can be rapidly assimilated by daily observation of the absentee slip with special reference spaces reserved for the senior class. Page T wcnty-Six
