ETHEL DIXON-This Texas gal came to Saxton Liberty for her Senior year. She at- tended Three Rivers High School in Texas for three years. Then she met Wesley. The result he married and brought her to his old home town, for which we're very glad. Talented in Home Economics and music, Ethel has used her talents to good advantage while at Saxton. All we can say is Good Luck! Good Health! and happiness to a swell couple. HORTENSE EICHELBERGER-When this student smiles, she makes the world around seem bright. A brunette of outstand- ing talent, Tensie has a personality which will be an asset to the Freshmen class at college this fall. If she does as well there as in S. L., lucky will be her Alma Mater. Tensie's ambition is to be a nurse but first she wants a degree. Speaking of degrees, we say, For Jack's sake, we hope some day with an M.R.S. in front of her name, she'll be the attractive wife of a leading mortician. DOROTHY FIGARD-When you see the girls' basketball team roll up the points, you may depend that one of the rollers is Figard. An all 'round sport, Dot likes to skate, eat fruit salad, and square dance. She has proven herself a real value to the school with her knowledge of shorthand and typing. We understand that Dot is anticipating matri- mony with a certain Kearny young man. Come spring if Uncle Sam sees fit and sends him home from Japan, our Dot will be altar tripping. HAYES FIGARD-A Puttstown boy of whom we are all proud. The only veteran in the class, Hayes departed from us in his Sophomore year and served Uncle Sam. After several years service he was lucky enough to return in order to graduate with his class, all of which we are very glad. Hayes' main interest, outside school, is driving a car, and his one ambition is to own a Model-A. A lover of prose and poetry, this boy has decided to make this field his life's ambition. His favorite food is home-made baked beans. This ex-Sailor is one who will not own to a girl in any port, and is usually seen in the company of Dum-Dum-Hile. A peach of a pair-don't you think? CHARLES HATFIELD-This tall lanky individual hails from Saxton Boro itself and is one of the best liked boys in the class. Al- ways prominent in all activities, Buddy has proven himself a real asset to the School. Possessing a pleasant personality and an unusual friendliness this student will no doubt go far. For sometime now, he and Christopher have deserted the local area for Martinsburg and Roaring Spring. When questioned as to the reason for so many trips, Hatfield al- ways says It's on business. This excuse must have been accepted by the Coach, for practically every Varsity Basket-ball game saw our Buddy jumping center, and doing his best for old S. L.

ALICE CLAPPER-A real beauty from Cherrytown. This brunette has become one of the most useful girls in the school. She has many likes, among them dancing, driv- ing, and punching the old typewriter. Her main ambition in life, she says, is to see that Mrs. Garber gets her watch repaired. With always a smile for everyone, our Alice at times finds herself very much behind the Cue- ball-we mean the Eight-ball. At any rate, we predict Alice will make a name for her- self as a private secretary to some diplomat, or as a plain Budget Director for some lucky Elly- ALMONT CLARK-Almont is one of the class whose address is Tyhank. Where is that??? Well, just ask Clark and you'll find its the biggest little metropolis in Bedford County. Clark takes the general course and is interested in Chemistry. His main am- bition is to be a mechanic and he is earnestly looking forward to fulfilling this big dream. This fair-haired boy likes to drive a Chevy, play basketball and eat ice cream. He is also quite a hit with Freshmen girls, and they seem to go for him in a big way. Quite a kidder, Clark is always observed clowning and teasing until cornered, and then he makes a dash for an exit. SYLVIA CROWNOVER-This blonde bomber is one of the main pillars of the office. Always cheerful and no matter how the work piles up, she seems to relish it. Her main ambition is to be a secretary to some leading politician, and who knows, maybe she may become one herself. A domestic sort of person, Sylvia would be an ideal home- maker for some gentle Duane-we mean swain. Girls may come and girls may go. but one like Sylvia will remain at least in our hearts forever. MARY DAVIS-This quiet little brunette has been S. L.'s head majorette for three years. She has been a chorus member all four years and also is a member of the Senior Girl's Sextette, as well as participating in other curricular activities. Mary has many friends, despite her very quiet manner. Her two outstanding friends are Marys A. and B. Mary plans after graduation to attend Beauty School in Philadelphia, Our class wishes her the best of luck wherever she goes. WILLIAM DIXON-Saxton's own gift to the women is Dixon-the class wit. Always coming forth with an original creation in the way of remarks, Bill has the crowd in stitches-that is, until Tensie , his manager, takes him in hand. His main academic interest is chemistry las Mr. Gates will verify from the questions asked by himl. When feminine interests are discussed, this sly young man says I love 'em all and are they glad, because they all love Bill.

BETTY HEISTER-Short, plump and cheerful is the best definition for Betty who is out for sports and aids in making the bas- kets. She has been in the chorus for two years and is really a whiz at singing soprano. When spaghetti is being served you are likely to see Heister around waiting for her platter. Her favorite pastime, as we all know, is skat- ing and dancing. Betty says her plans for the future include being an Air Hostess-at least before married life. Smooth flying kid! DOROTHY BLANKLEY HENNESSY- The light which kept dazzling us for part of the year was the reflection from that sparkler on Dot's finger. In February it was joined by the band which changed Blankley to Hen- nessy, making her the second matron in the class. Dot cooks, sews, types, takes dic- tation, and participates in all types of sports. We are certain that her husband is a very lucky fellow and we say to this young couple, good luck, and may all your troubles be little ones. LOIS JEAN HESS-Lois is the number one actress of the Senior Class. She is tall, blonde, and very pretty, even though she does live in East Saxton. Usually an honor student Lois is a studious hard working gal. Almost every evening she works at tne Drug Store jerking sodas and waiting on people. We all know she prefers to wait on out of town trade. To be more specific, we mean a fellow from Roaring Spring. The feeling must be mutual from the looks of the Christmas gift. GENE I-IILE-This red-haired-freck1e- faced kid comes from Puttstown. In the crowd he is a great favorite for after all has been explained, Gene still wants to know- Why? A member of the football squad, Gene has proved himself a true booster for Old S. L. His one interest is Salesmanship and he hopes to secure a position where little spelling is required. As to the fairer sex Gene says Nix, I don't even know what love is! PAUL HOFFMAN--If Corky is ever late for school, it certainly isn't because he has far to go. We understand that he often doesn't get up until the first bell rings. Corky has been a member of the Band and played the licorice stick since he was back in the grades. Though he doesn't care for dancing he has always been a great help in decorating for class parties. Naturally, be- ing tall, dark and handsome he is attracted to the opposite sex. His main heart interest is in Robertsdale. Could Cork's favorite song be I Was Seeing Nellie Home ?
