His chief talent seems to be mischievous pranks. Although he may appear indifferent, he is not entirely uninterested in the opposite sex. His hobbies are hunting and ice skating. Bobby will probably be wearing the navy blue in the near future. FRANK GEORGE ALICH Alich Watch out, watch out, I gotta get my English finished. Here comes Alich, another hard worker in tho fifteen minute periods. He likes to get his work finished in school, so that he can enjoy a good night's fun after school. Alich participated in class basketball and was a member of the Science Club. He likes mathematics and chemistry very much and hopes to become a chemical engineer some day.

She is noted for the endless practical jokes she plays on her friends. One Tuesday each month finds Jean at Commercial Club in room 25. Besides finding time to write to servicemen, she also finds time to type for the Blue and White. Buggsie hopes, in the future, to become a hairdresser, but we wonder if a certain boy from Tatamy will change her mind.

MARION ELIZABETH ALTEMOSE Marion Marion, another of the more quiet and reserved Altemose clan, delights in giggling. Frequently she and Jean can be seen riding their bicycle for two. Marion's specialty is playing hairdresser to the citizens of Tatamy. She writes Totamy news for the Item. Playing baseball and sewing are her leisure time activities.

VINCENT ORTHELLER ALTEMOSE Vince Vince,” the tricky lad, hails from Clearfield. He enjoys talking and joking with his classmates more than studying. He likes to ploy basketball in gym class and was on the J. V. Squad in his junior year. Vince wants to be an aviation engineer. He intends to go to college for one year and then join Uncle Sam's Air Corps. Class Basketball 1, 3; J. V.

JACQUELYN BARBARA ANDREWS Jackie Elephant is crazy about it, soys little lexie with the big pink bow in let Me Grow Up. Shining black hair, ability to achieve good grades, a pleasing personality, plus her own version of leughter should prove helpful in college. Besides all this, Jackie won the first prize in the 1944 oratorical contest. She also showed her ability as a member of Student Council and as Associate Editor of the Comet.

Yea Team! It's only Mac spurring the team on to victory. She has been one of our peppy cheerleaders for the last three years. Besides her pep in cheerlcading, she is also a whiz on the basketball floor. Even though she possesses all this pep, Mae takes her good old time in getting to and from classes. Her future ambition is to become a nurse. Dramatic Club I; Volley Ball 1, 2, 3; Basketball I, 2, 3; Baseball I, 2, 3,- Hockey 1, 2, 3, J. V.

GRACE HELEN BARRALL Grade Grade's shy and quiet disposition in the classroom is quite deceiving, because outside of class she is just as talkative and full of fun as the next person. Her favorite sports are basketball and volley ball. She also loves to dance, especially with that certain person from Pennsville. Commercial Club 2, 3. DOROTHY MAE BECK Dot Dot, who hails from Bangor, is a jolly little lassie, full of fun and with an unusual laugh that attracts much attention. She does not take part in sports or extra school activities because working in Murphy's 5 and 10 takes up most of her time. She is fond of dancing and bowling. We think her heart-throb is wearing the Navy Blue. Basketball I, 2. Volley Ball 1, 2. GEORGE GIDEON BENSING Bensing” Ho! Ho! Ho! Don't get excited, folks. It's just Bensing's bellow at some poor fellow who has fallen down the steps. He can find time for laughing at anything, no matter how serious. Ben- sing says he doesn't mind school, but he sure is glad when summer comes. His special “love is English. (??) He says he wants to be an undertaker, following in his father's business. One of his favorite foods is ice cream and he claims he can eat a gallon at a time. We'd have to see that to believe it, though. Science Club I. BERNADINE BEATRICE BITTENBENDER Benny Crack! Benny's chewing gum again. She's active in sports and always greets everyone with a smile. How does that Ford look? After what Benny puts it through, we're afraid to look. All joking aside, she's really a good driver. Just ask her three pals from Hecktown. Benny will soon leave the foursome because of the ring she wears on hor third finger of her left hand. Do we hear wedding bells in the noar future? They wouldn't have any connection with Moorcstown, would they? Band I, 2, Magazine Campaign I; Volley Ball I, 2, 3,- Basketball J, 2, 3, Hockey 1. ELKTON KENNETH BLAKE Blakie” The girls must certainly take a lot from this tease, Blakie, who hails from Belfast. Blakie says chewing gum or talking at the wrong time is good for bad jaws. He is willing to try anything once, except schoolwork. Much of his leisure time is spent at the Penn-Jersey airport. 1945 THE COMET ELEANOR DORIS BORGER Blondie” That long, lank, and lean figure with the blonde hair and robin- blue eyes is none other than Blondie. Her policy is one of dis- tributing good will and bearing no malice. Her favorite sports are ice-skating, croquet, and baseball. She hopes some day to become a beautician. Basebaff I, 2, 3; Sale of War Bonds and Stamps 2. DONALD STEPHEN BOYHONT Bohunk Donnie, happy-go-lucky and with an excellent physique, is something to look at. His main interest in school is to tease the girls and this art he's mastered. Bohunk's spare time is spent helping out at a gas station and he really seems to enjoy himself working. Donnie's ability and quick thinking helped our football squad out of some tough spots. Football, Varsity 2, 3,- Class Basketball ?, 2, 3; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3. RICHARD FRANCIS BREINIG Breinig Toot! Toot! Here's the town clown on his skooter in the senior play. School work is no obstacle to Richard. However, d-e-a-r hunting is more fun, isn't it? Or maybe you'd rather go hiking with some boy scouts. Make way for Breinig, the drummer, as he comes parading down Nazareth streets leading the band. Breinig's advice to the boys about the opposite sex is: Don't waste your breath on such creatures! Band 1, 2, 3,- Class Basketball 1, 2, 3,- Senior Play, Major 3; Class Baseball 1, 2, 3. GERALD JOHN BRINKER Brink A quick hiya, and then down to work. That's Brink arriving at school in the morning. He says that he's in a hurry to get his algebra done, but usually he ends up by participating in the general gab with the rest. He was a constant follower of the basketball team, and one night driving home from a game, he bumped the grill on his Chevy. He said he had his eyes on the road, but you can't tell. How about if, Brink? Class Basketball 3,- Class Baseball 3. THEODORA ANN BROBST Teddy” Here's another versatile senior, Emily of the operetta and Mrs. Holden of the senior ploy. She is a member of the Blue and White Staff and has contributed to the Comet as a Music Editor. With all these activities she still has time for other things. Could it be male companionship, Teddy? Her ambition is to be a secretary, and she intends to go to business college.

MICHAEL ANTHONY BUCCHI Mike” Mike is the larger of the famous Bucchi twins. He is remem- bered as a varsity quarterback, and he also enjoys playing basket- ball. Mike finds school rather dry, but usually manages to come through in his studies. He has many friends.

Yes, Bill and his friends are in the Lab mixing chemicals and another experiment has gone wrong. Bill's ability in football was shown by his skillful playing in many games. Although small, he certainly can run that ball down to the goal post. He is frequently seen helping his father repair shoes. Bill's interest in school lies---no, not in school work---buf in a certain junior. Football, Varsity 1, 2, 3,- Basketball, J. V. 1; Class Basketball, Captain 2, 3. JANE ELIZABETH BUNN Jane Meet one of the Associate Editors of the Comet. Tall, dark, and slender, that's Jane, a favorite with all, especially Roddy. She was also Business Manager for International in the magazine campaign last year. Studious but fun loving, participating in many school activities, this reliable, even-tempered senior is sure to be successful at Hood, where she plans to take up Hospital Dietetics.

DONALD PAUL BURLEY Burley This Tatamy lad's attention is held by a little sophomore from room 9. If any girl is looking for a jitterbug teacher, Burley is the man. We'd like to know where he gets his technique. To Burley a school day is just another day that comes and goes. He has the distinction of being the only auburn-haired chap in the senior class. Science Club 1; Blue and White Staff 3. ELAINE ANNA BUTZ Butzie Elaine is one of those girls who spends much time behind a counter at Murphy's. A cheerful disposition and a gay outlook on life contribute greatly to Elaine's enjoyment of life. Her favorite sports are swimming and football. She intends to become a secretary. DORIS ENOLA BUZZARD Doe” Although Doris is a quiet type of gal, she’s a “swell pal. She enjoys music, reading, and cooking. She has contributed to the Comet as a personality writer and is a faithful member of the Girls’ Glee Club. The army holds a special interest in “Doe's heart. She hopes to be a nurse. Glee Club I, 2, 3,- A Cappella Choir 2; Operetta 2; Muisc Festival I, 3; Comet Staff, Personality Editor 3. ROBERT YOEMANS CHAPMAN Chapman” Robert wins the award as Mr. Goulding's favorite problem child. Although he seldom answers in class, we believe Chapman does much more thinking than he would have us believe. We know, too, that he can earn 90's if the spirit moves him sufficiently. Chapman spends much time at the Y. He is a vigorous par- ticipator in basketball. 1945 GERALDINE ARLENE COLVER THE COMET Gerry “Gerry is always willing to help and is well liked by her classmates. She enjoys sports and participates in most of them. As captain of a volley ball team, she has proved herself efficient. Dancing is another pastime in which Gerry indulges. By the way, Gerry, to whom does the gray Dodge belong? Commercial Club 2, 3; Volley Boll 1, 2, Captain 3; Hockey 2, 3; Baseball 2, 3; Basketball I, 2, 3; Blue and White, Typist 3. JAMES HUNSICKER DAY Jim Jim spent a vacation in Kentucky and he never did lose that Southern drawl. If you don't know the answer, Jim” says, The easiest way out is to stutter and stammer. He's always on hand to do any stage work needed. The Forum Club certainly thrives on Jim's opinions. The whole senior class has to look up to see this six foot four inch senior.

GEORGE LLEWELLYN DECH Dechie” A smile for everyone seems to be George's motto. He spends much of his time building model airplanes and hopes to join the Air Corps after graduation. He is also a member of the Science Club. George is one of our more quiet members of the class. He seems very fond of the library at noon. What's the attraction, George? IVAN LYTLE DETWILER Ivan” ivan, who would rather talk or joke than study, likes any kind of work which is connected with farming. He spent the whole summer last year working at the hoy dryer. Hunting is Ivan's favorite sport, for he would rather hunt than cat or sleop. Ivan's main ambition after the war is to buy a farm. His determination and ability to do manual work should help him succeed in his ambition. THERESA AGNES DEUTSCH Terry Looking over the gymnasium floor after school hours, one will see a short, active figure chasing after the ball. As quick as a flash of lightning, she darts from one port of the gym to another. This is Terry who can most often be seen with Tessie, her close and faithful companion. Her favorite sport is basketball, and she indulges in it whole-heartedly. Her undivided attention is directed toward her special interest in Allentown.

N CECELIA JULIA DIDOVITZ Cely” Leaving school after her junior year, this brown eyed lassie soon discovered that acquiring knowledge had more advantages than making undies at the Waist Mill. Cecilia really takes her school work seriously now that she's with us again, and the results are evident on her report card. However, lessons and sports don't require all her time and interest, for a certain boy in blue seems to have captured her heart.

COMET THE v EMERY EUGENE ENGLER Beeper” Har! Har! It's Emery laughing at his own jokes os usual. Although far from exceptional in school work, he certainly was an addition to the football squad, and helped to bring victories to our team. Beeper's trademark on the football field was his red socks. Flashey, eh! Usually found in Swavoly's after school and at night, Beeper can't quite make up his mind as to the attraction. Which Jean is it, Beeper? Football I, Varsity 2, 3; Class Basketball I, 2, 3. JENNIE ELLEN ENGLER Jennie Jennie, slender and full of pep, is quite a gal. Although rather shy in appearance, she shows her true colors when she lets herself loose on one of those after school parties, especially when he's around. Jennie showed her acting ability as mischievous Mary Jo in the senior play. She claims that her main interest is nursing? ? ? Dramatic Club 2, 3,- Glee Club 3; Senior Play, Major 3; Muisc Festival 3. WILLIAM HACKMAN ERVIN Bill Being quiet in class doesn't mean that this tall, lanky, green- eyed lad doesn't enjoy conversing. Just let him find someone who's willing to lend an ear and watch his steam pour forth. Bill doesn't participate in sports; they're much too dull for him. William's leisure time is spent working in Bath's butcher shop. Comet Staff, Personality Editor 3. MARGARET ANNA FASSMAN Peggy” Peggy,” a petit© little miss with laughing blue eyes, is a pal to everyone. She is noted for her pleasing personality. Although she is a good student, she is also interested in sports, especially those exercises in gym class (?) Peggy is a faithful member of the Dramatic Club and a personality writer on the Comet Staff. Her main interest is nursing, she says, but we sometimes wonder.

He may seem quiet, but when he is with the gang, he is lots of fun. His interest is centered around a certain tall blonde freshman from 9-5. Les plans to enter the U. S. Navy in the near future. Sale of War Bonds and Stamps 3. GLORIA JUNE FELDMAN Gloria If you wish to know anything about the Army, Navy or Marines, just ask Gloria; for writing to servicemen is her hobby and takes up much of her spare time. Each Saturday Gloria works at Heckman's Drug Store. Some of her favorite sports are hockey, basketball, baseball and she has served as our Hockey Manager.

He proved his ability when he served as boys' representative to the Student Council. Flicky left us to serve in the U. S. Novy in the latter part of January. Clots, Vice President 1; Student Council 1, 2; Forum Club 2. HAROLD ALLEN FRABLE Hal “Hal is a six-foot lad who hails from Brodheads. He has a great love of speed, which can sometimes be classed as an asset, but also at other times as a liability. Harold Valentine Frablc was the manager for the Crowell Publishing Company during the magazine campaign. His favorite sports are motorcycle riding and baseball. 8y the way, Harold, how many prospective members have you gathered for your Motorcycle Association? Forum Club 3; Magazine Campaign, Business Manager 3. KENNETH WILLIAM FRABLE Kenny” Zoom! Here comes one of the Belfast gang making noise as usual. Teasing the girls is one of Kenny's main hobbies. He enjoys ice-skating, square dancing, and sports. Kenny is not too interested in school work, although he manages to get by; but he is interested in Tatamy. The dance isn't the only attraction, is it? Kenny hopes soon to be in the navy. JOANNE GENE FREESTONE Joanne “If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again! is Joanne's philosophy of life. This persistence explains her excellent chemistry grades. This characteristic should also prove helpful at Penn State. She has served industriously as Secretary of Forum Club and as Joke Editor of the Comet. As a member of the 4-H Club, she has become a competent seamstress.

Crow left us to join the navy and is now in the service of Uncle Sam. Hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking arc his favorite pastimes. He is interested in science and radio. Science Club, Treasurer 3. SHIRLEY DOLORES FRITCHMAN Shirley” Shirloy and Doris can nearly always be found together. Shirley has proved her ability as Secretary and Treasurer of the Studont Council, Secretary of the Athletic Association, and Co-Editor of the Blue and White Standard. Her favorite sports arc swim- ming, volley ball, and basketball. Shirley hopes to enter Rider College after graduation. She seems to have a hard time making a big decision.

There’s never a doll moment when she's around. She likes shorthand very much, and works industriously at it. Marion and her pals, Irene and Gloria, seem to be inseparable. Her favorite sports are basketball and volley ball. Dramatic Club 1; Volley Ball 1, 2, 3, Basketball I, 3, Baseball 3. MARTIN JAMES GAWLIK Martin” Martin’s policy is to leave women alone. He is tall and lanky and is greatly interested in airplanes. One can nearly always find him at the Easton Airport after school and on holidays. Usually Martin comes out on fop in an argument, because he's hard to con- vince. He doesn't care much for school, but finds little difficulty in getting along with his fellow classmates. Radio Club 2; Airplane Club 1, 2. KATHERINE MAY GUM Katherine” 8rown-haired, brown-eyed Katherine is another one of our quiet, serious senior gals, who is Mary Jane's close chum. Music is her special field and she plays the piano with a master’s touch. She is a member of the Commercial Club and is a typist for the Blue and White and the Comet. She hopes to become a secretory some day. Commercial Club 3, Blue and White, Typist 3; Volley Ball 2, 3; Basketball 3; Baseball 2, 3; Hockey 2, Comet, Typist 3.

If you want to see Nomey anytime, just look for Margaret, and lo! your search is ended. She seems to possess a domestic inclination, because she likes to cook and sew. She also likes to indulge in an exciting game of football. Regardless of her many interests, she soes that her homework is prepared. Commercial Club 2, 3, Baseball 2.

Viola does not participate in many sports, but outside of school she likes to dance, roller-skate, and bowl. She has not decided what to do after graduation. A certain person is very nice, isn’t he, Viola?

Airplane Club I. EILEEN GERTRUDE HOFFMEISTER Hoffmeister Eileen is one of the organizers of the Youth Center in Bath. Many of us learned to know her as Nola Fleming, the mother- actress in our senior play. She is active :n sports and is a vigorous basketball player. The art of always finding the funny side of life is one of her outstanding characteristics. Hoffmeister feels that all U. S. servicemen are O K., but especially, a sailor from North- ampton.

Bill hails from Belfast. He was a faithful member of the varsity football squad and also played on the 1942 baseball team. Bill enjoys hunting, and ice and roller-skating. He also likes to play basketball, especially in gym classes. Why is Room 25 so attractive. Bill? Bill's ambition is to join the Marines. 1945 Football, Varsity 2, 3,- Class Basketball 2, 3.

CLASS PROPHECY THE COMET After months of diligent work, our four mad scientists—Professors Scheffler, Noll, Skrapits, and Thompson—have perfected their remarkable time machine. At last the moment for the final test is at hand! As we step aboard, Jennie Engler, a petitie little hostess conducts us to our quarters. After we have been strapped in our seats by the eminent Mr. Noll, the perils of this unique voyage are explained to us in detail by Mr. Thompson. A switch is thrown and we are off into the fourth dimension amid a shower of sparks and a roar of rockets. Since Mr. Scheffler has set a dial for the year 1947, we naturally find ourselves in 1958. Evidently he is still asleep at the switch. Oops! What was that noise? To our dismay, we have crashed into the ultramodern Fleecycloud Apartment House. Dot and Bece come rushing toward us surrounded by little jitterbugs. Bece is kept busy teaching the latest dancing techniques to all the debutantes. Three efficient nurses, who live in the next apartment, rush to our aid. They are Pauline Schoeneberger, Kathleen Shotwell, and Margaret Fassman. Not far behind them the portly Dr. Searles waves his bottle of pink pills. We are immediately revived and decide to explore the rest of the building until our damaged ship can be repaired by William Schultz, master mechanic We find that Jane Bunn’s experience as a dietitian has helped her to prepare healthful meals for Roderick Knecht, who is a captain in the Marine Corps The entire third floor is occupied by Floyd Schlegel, the great pianist. Donald Hahn is always near at hand to tune his pianos, while June Kresge always turns his music. Frieda Sandt, the glamorous model, and Geraldine Wessner, mistress of ceremonies on the new radio show, How to Satisfy Your Husband, occupy a nearby apartment. Here we are in the lobby. Can the manager be our old friend Frederick Koehler? He drops everything (including his chic secretary, Margaret Rohn) and welcomes us warmly. Look! There’s Ethel Lauer, the country’s leading entertainer and one of the most exclusive of the four hundred. Occupying the cellar is Emery Engler. He acts as janitor for the building. How about a breath of fresh air? Emerging into the bright sunshine, we almost collide with Robert Chapman who is selling his line of brushes and brooms from door to door. Glancing into the barbershop across the street, we see Doris Buzzard wielding a razor over the head of Gerald Brinker, the inventor of Banana Oil Shaving Cream, which satisfies your hunger while you shave. Let's hail a cab and look around a bit. Off we go weaving through traffic with Lester Fehnel as our driver. On the left we see the palatial mansion of Harold Frable, the mayor. On the lawn is Frank Alich shrinking the grass with his new formula designed to replace lawn mowers. Take a look at that modern high school up ahead. The newly appointed principal is Louise Way.

Over there is Betty Kerch’s art studio. Her beautiful model is the world famous Jacquelyn Andrews. Let's stop at this drugstore and have an ice cream soda. That sign says Gloria Feldman, Proprietor. Behind the counter we find Frank Kondikoff mixing ’em up. We see that Peter Mendola is still spending his time at the Y. M. C. A. holding down the same old position. Over on the corner is William Ervin. He is now being acclaimed international billiards champion by the experts. Betty Lou Jacobs is the first woman to swim across the Atlantic Ocean. This south wind makes it possible for us to smell James Hess' skunk farm ten miles down the road. Entering the new railroad station, we spy Eleanor Borger in the ticket office. We board the streamlined flyer bound for New York. Marcella Roth is the engineer and Harold Ruth is the conductor. Sleeping in the seat next to us is Elton Blake, the traveling salesman. He is still able to convince the housewives, such as Gloria Rohn and Viola Hahn, of the superiority of the old-fashioned egg beater. Arriving in New York and feeling very ambitious, we decide to walk uptown. Passing a famous theater, we learn that Eileen Hoffmeister and Joseph Herd are playing the romantic leads in the play Strange Romance. What a team! Not far away Michael Messinger is the head mechanic at the Smiling Irishman Garage. We enter the Radio City Music Hall with the idea of relaxing. The feature movie is entitled Red Head and Eunice Rudge and Donald Burley play the title roles. Jack Kennedy is the voice behind the Movietone News Shorts. Donald Rader is the polished master of ceremonies in one of the best stage shows in history. A bicycle act starring Jean and Marian Altemose is one of the featured attractions. Dotty Jane Swavely's acrobatic dance leaves everyone breathless. Supplying the music is Robert Smith and his swing band. Richard Breinig plays the drums and Theodora Brobst is the vocalist. James Day is the expert stage manager, while Betty Schleicher designs those daring costumes. In Madison Square Garden, Harold Meyer and Hunter Frey are battling for the lightweight boxing title.

Roby Heimer also gives concerts here on her marimba. Elaine Butz owns the flower shop across the street, and she supplies all the flowers for Mae Bachman and George Bensing's funeral home. We learn from a famous newspaper, of which Caroline Kraemer is editor-in-chief, that George Dech and Annabelle Smith are honeymooning in Florida. Here, too, we see a copy of Verna Rohrbach’s last speech. She is an influential senator and is considered as a likely candidate for the presidency. Passing the shipyards we meet Anna Yavorski. Her fame has spread far and wide for she is the Navy’s first woman admiral. Francis Flick is first mate on her ship, while Don Wilkinson acts as cook. In charge of the radar equipment is Lester Kemmerer. Chief of Staff of the United States Army is Howard Saylor, assisted by David Kromer. Mary Jane Tanzos, now a colonel, is head of Army Intelligence. Althea Miller is happily married to that sailor who graduated in '43. Naomi Koch and Dorothy Beck have established a day nursery and they report a flourishing business. Betty Newhard, Virginia Harhart, and Bernadine Bittenbender are touring through New York City with Willard Rissmiller to guide them. These inseparable pals plan to see the entire world before they settle down. Dorothy Dix's old Advice to the Lovelorn Column has been taken over by that experienced man of the world, Donald Boyhont. In a neat little Brooklyn shop we find Kathryn Rupert claiming that she can fortell the future with 99 44 100% accuracy. Edna Yeska has decided to devote her life to scientific research and is now planning a perilous trip to Mars. Her secretary, Irene Phillips, keeps notes on all Edna’s discoveries. Next we come to an imposing building in which Marian Gaumer, Florence Papa, Elizabeth Keppel, Theresa Deutsch, and Josephine Todora work as stenographers. Shirley Fritchman is in charge of the entire office force. Geraldine Colver, Lily Martino, and Grace Barrall are specializing in giving perma- nents guaranteed to last for half a century.

Margaret Lahr and Irene Uhler have just returned from Turkey and Afghanistan respectively where they have succeeded in promoting good will and peace among the natives. But it’s getting very late. We rush back to our repaired time machine and once more we’re off into space. Suddenly something happens to the controls and we are plunging through space. But our four mad scientists promise to bring us back safely. Until then, we remain hopefully yours, Louise Way Jacquelyn Andrews Jane Bunn Anna Yavorski Donald Scheffler 1945 We, the impossibles of the Class of 1945, being in a moronic state of mind at the present, do draw up our last will and testament as follows: To our successors we bequeath our jolly school spirit, our good citizenship, and our high regard for the faculty.

STUDENT COUNCIL 9 Representing the student body of Nazareth Senior High School, the Student Council consists of nine students—a boy and girl representative from each class, the three class presidents, and Miss Florence L. Nicholas, the principal, serving in an advisory capacity. The Student Council this year was able to sponsor three dances—a Thanksgiving, a Patriotic, and a Barn Dance. Although refreshments were served at these parties and fine orchestras were provided, there was no admission charged, since the members of the Council were able to defray the expenses by selling refreshments at the football and basketball games. The Council has maintained a complete, up-to-date file of college catalogues. The lost and found department, which is composed of members of the Council, held auctions in the auditorium with the articles that were not claimed. Besides this, they have a committee which cooperates in the care of the building. This year, two members of the Student Council were chosen to represent the student body on the assembly committee, which planned the annual assembly program.

The association was active throughout the year, selling tickets at all of the football and basketball games under the direction of the Faculty Manager, Mr. Cump.

Frederic Knecht 1945 COMET PROM A Patriotic dance was the feature of this school year’s final festivity, the annual junior-senior frolic, held in the gym on May 11, from 8:00 until 11:30 o’clock. A canopy of red, white, and blue crepe paper streamers, stretching from the center of the ceiling to huge clusters of flags on the walls, made a colorful background for the gay, flowing gowns of the girls and their darker-clothed partners. These gay couples danced to the tunes of the Arcadian's Orchestra. For those not wishing to dance, games were provided. Refreshments were served, buffet style, to a large crowd of happy students and faculty guests in the lunchroom from tables colorfully decorated with flags.

The purpose of these social affairs was to promote more friendly relations among the students and faculty. On Novem- ber 17, a Thanksgiving Dance was held; on February 20, a Patriotic Party; and on April 27, a novelty Barn Dance. At the Thanksgiving Dance the walls were cleverly adorned with pennants of different schools, and chrysanthemums were placed on the tables in the lunchroom. At the Patriotic Party the gym took on another aspect as flags were the predominating factor in the decorating scheme. The Barn Dcnce was enlivened by the wearing of gay and colorful costumes—the boys wore overalls and loud plaid shirts while the girls wore gay cotton frocks. The music for these dances was furnished by the Nomads' orchestra. Games were played by those who did not wish to dance, and, during intermission, refreshments were served in the lunchroom. Each of these parties had a large attendance and was thoroughly enjoyable both to students and teachers. 1945 THE First Row: Solt, Nardella, Paukovitch, Kahler, Paukovitz, Rader, Karlowitch.

FOOTBALL High hopes were held for the returning nine lettermen to create in this year's team an unbeatable combination. However, injuries, bad weather, and miscellaneous difficulties prevented these hopes from materializing. Although the season was as a whole, poor, the brilliant playing in the league games won the league championship award. The record for the season is two wins, six losses, one tie. 1944 N.H.S.

Freddie worked hard, and his marks were high And so he kissed failing grades goodbye. Now Freddie’s free from books and learning And at last he follows his lifelong yearning. Freddie joined the Navy to keep his country free, But alas, its been five months, and he hasn't seen the sea; So henceforth let Hitler and the Japs beware. Because our fighting Freddie will soon get in their hair. —Jack Kennedy 1345 Mademoiselle—Betty Schleicher Country Gentleman—Floyd Schlegel Good Housekeeping—Bernadine Bittenbender Life—Jacquelyn Andrews Esquire—Dorothy Schlegel Time—Charles Skrapits Travel—Donald Boyhont Popular Science—Frank Alich Reader’s Digest—Verna Rohrbach Fortune—Donald Scheffler Current History—Louise Way Woman’s Home Companion—Vincent Paukovitch Hunting and Fishing—Michael Messinger Vogue—Jane Bunn True Romance—Forrest Noll Aviation—Franklin Starner The Nation’s Business—Harold Frable Etude—Katherine Gum Look—Betty Newhard Hygeia—Margaret Fassman Glamour—Pauline Schoeneberger Coronet—Jack Kennedy Banking—Shirley Sundberg Athletic Journal—Richard Keppel Army Life—David Kromer and Howard Saylor Saturday Evening Post—Dotty Jane Swavely The American Girl—Mark Parseghian Boy's Life—Eileen Hoffmeister Better Homes and Gardens—Margaret Lahr Scholastic—Anna Yavorski Seventeen—Theodora Brobst McCall's—Virginia Suter Nature—Roderick Knecht National Geographic—Lester Fehnel Liberty—Emery Engler WILL WE EVER FORGET????

Thomas Lipton actually dressed up pigs and paraded them through the streets of Glasgow to advertise his ham and bacon business. Later another unique advertising scheme used by Lipton was to have great tea cases thrown into the ocean to float where steamer passengers would glimpse Lipton’s Teas bobbing on the water. Later, business men learned that newspapers, books, and maga- zines offered another opening for advertising. By inviting attention and winning interest in their products, sales and profits skyrocketed. 1945 ™E COMET HE was a master because lie took infinite pains.
