Eva hailed from West Main street, and has spent most of her life so far in New Holland, and always attended the New Holland schools. She ,frenerally has an opinion about everything, and furthermore, is not afraid to express it. lf you hear a hearty laugh issuing' from a group of noisy stud- ents you can count on it that Eva has a new joke. Perhaps it is this lively spirit in her which makes the class such an active cheerleader. We can always depend on Eva as a friend in need. As for the future, Eva considers interior decoration and dress designing or perhaps being' housewife for Gib. DOROTHY CATHERINE MOHLER AL'oL's'r 14, 1918 Nr-:w HOLLANI3, PA. Operetta 11, 2, 3, 43 5 Travel Club 1233 Con- duct and Manners 133g Town Clock News 1433 Cheerleader 143 3 Glee Club 11, 2, 3, 43. Did you ever hear of Shorty? Well folks, that's Dot. Her favorite expression, Gee, that burns me up, can be heard anywhere around school. She is business manager of the Town Clock News and is a cheerleader. Recently she has taken a new interest in basketball and pays the paper boy in pennies because it takes longer. We wonder why? Her spare time is divided between Buck and her knitting. Dot hopes to be a hair dresser, and we feel sure that she will soon own an establishment of her own. HELEN NAOMI MYERS AL'f:Us1' 9, 1918 NEW HOLLAND, PA. Glee Club 11, 2, 435 Home Craft Club 1233 Tri-Hi-Y Club 1333 Baseball team 12, 33, Bas- ketball 13, 43. To say that she is quiet and reserved does not mean that Dolly isn't with the class, for she always participates in its activities. Dolly has been with us for the twelve years, and has proven a worthy and faithful student. She always has a smile to greet her friends and is always willing to help another student. Dolly has taken a great interest in sports. Many a time she has led the Senior Girls' basketball team to victory. Who made that goal? Of course, it was Dolly. She has no particular vocation in view, but we're sure she'll be successful in whatever she attempts. -T Page Fifteen - -

w-l-L Page Fourteen W gl 1 1- ELI M. MARTIN NOVEMBER 8, 1918 NEW HOLLAND, PA. Dramatics Club 121g Science Club 1315 Glee Club 1413 Operetta 141. This young fellow was born three days before the whistles blew, signifying armistice day, and it is said that he rather objected to all the noise. He started school at the Weaver home under the supervision of Mrs. Weaver. Eli could be seen selling farm products at a very early age and we still see him selling celery or passing circulars for prominent business men. The business side of life seems to appeal to Eli, and it appears that in that profession he will find suc- cess. He is most industrious and efficient. He- is known around the school for his hot arguments and his love for debating. Speedo has not fully decided on his future but he expects to further his education in some way. May life offer you a big reward! HAROLD WAYNE MARTIN OCTOBER 30, 1916 BLUE BALL, PA. Travel Club 1213 Construction Club 1319 Op- eretta 131. Harold began his education in Blue Ball in 1921, and joined us in our Freshman year. Should you see Harold perched on a cushion while driving his Ford you will under- stand why we call him Pigmy, but good things come in small packages. Harold. Travel is one of the main attractions in Pigmy's life, he having visited eleven states, and covered about fourteen thousand miles in travel. He has been to Canada, Niagara and in 1933 drove the Ford out to the Chicago World's Fair. For a hobby Pigmy is taking a radio course by correspond- ence and hopes to continue his studies in the electrical field when he leaves New Holland High School. JOHN K. MASER, JR. MARCH 12, 1918 NEW HOLLAND, R. D. 1, PA. Cperetta 11, 313 Sports Club 1213 Hi-Y 1313 Manager of basketball team 141. Jack, although not a native born citizen has been with us ever since first grade, where he along with 23 others, start- ed school in the home of Mrs. Weaver. His agreeable ways and smiling face has made him a favorite of the whole class. Although not a basketball hero, Jack has played his part as manager of the team. His Chevie has won favor with the girls, not only in New Holland, but Brownstown as well. Jack also added to the success of the two class plays, not on the stage. but as stage manager. He hasn't decided what his future work will be, but since he is now taking up business at Lancaster Business College we feel sure it will be in that line.

As a guide takes the lead in sealing a hih mountain, so Johnny takes the lead in the functions of our class, popular among his schoolmates and energetic in his work. This na- tive born Ephratan whom we all knew as Bug in his young'- er years, is a star athlete on the baseball diamond and es- pecially on the basketball court. He not only plays the game but also gives us the dope in black and white in our school newspaper. We are confident that some day, with his journal- istic background. Johnny will be one of the foremost sports commentators of the United States. VERNON MARKS REYNOLDS Bl!-RCI! 28, 1918 NEW HoI.LANu, PA. Operetta 11, 2, 313 Science Club 121g Hi-Y- Club 1313 Leoninus 141. Vernon is the Don Juan of the class and you are sure to find girls wherever you find Vernon. He loves to talk and the teachers are always reminding him that there is a law in Physics which states that two or more persons talking' at the same time in a room produces a clashing of sound waves. He likes swimming, hiking, Chemistry, and French, but is not so sure what he would like to take up after school. He does, however. have some ideas about landscape gardening: Here's luck. Vernon.

Bob has a smile for everyone he meets and an answer for everyone who talks to him. His ability as an Algebra or Chemistry student is proven. Hu has shown us not only his ability to act the part of a young college man but also that of an Englishman of leisure His favorite sport is swimming' and you can see Bob at Wil- low Brook on any hot summer day. Bob has kept us all guessing as to what he will be in the future, actor, Olympic swimming champion, or chemist, but whatever he does decide upon, the class will cheer for him as he cheered for the basketball team this year.
