This young' man, known to some as Donny, to others as Whit, and to Carroll Stokes as Uncle Donny, is the type of American man that every youngster envies and some day hopes to equal. He is a keen student and a boy that everyone is proud to call a pal. Donny blows a mean trumpet in the orchestra and in the Junior and Senior plays has proved that he can out- Gableu Clark Gable himself. His acting in these performances has caused many a feminine heart to skip a beat, but what heart minds skipping' a beat when it's over Donny, He is a wow at sports, wielding: an uncanny racket in tennis, and a heavy bat in baseball, but his greatest glory has been in basketball. His hobby is radio and he plans to make a name for himself in this Field. Here's luck! HELEN KOHLER WENTZ Ucroisrtn 251. 1918 NEW HOLLAND, PA.

Swimming, tennis, hiking, dancing, cocoanut mounds and Honey. her pet bull dogg take up most of her leisure time. There is also some time for a certain college lad.

Whenever you see a Ford full of boisterous school kids coming up Main street you can be sure that Shelley has been telling' one of his many stories and if you ever heard of a Witmer who makes visits to East Lampeter you can be sure that it's Harry. Harry has displayed his wit and talent to most of us in the Junior and Senior plays. Hari-y's favorite subjects are mathematics and chem- istry and his hobby is stamp collecting. Harry is very much interested in electricity and we are sure that in the future years he will invent some beneficial electrical apparatus. Here's hoping for the best.
