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 ?

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.

DOROTHY HOOPER- Dot is one of our local girls who is always busy both in and out of school. With strawberry blonde hair and lair complexion, she attracts many friends. Most of her spare time is spent either roller skating or dancing. As for the future, her plans are to be a laboratory tech- nician. We hope she can fulfill these desires. DOROTHY HOOVER-Dot is the one and only waitress in Marysville and can she make hamburgers! She likes to drive the family car and is a whiz at roller skating. Her favorite dish is spaghetti and all the trim- mings. When you see Mary and Helena, take it for granted that Dot will be with them. Dot says that for the present she'll stick to making hamburgers. Keep up the good work, Dot!! THOMAS HOOVER-Hair neat, pants creased to a T , and shoes shined. This statement goes for our Tommy who hails from Woodcock Valley. Tommy is one of Mr. Shoemaker's trumpet players and we should say also that he is very good at it. Next to playing his horn, he enjoys drumming on the piano, and he also likes to dance. Get that, girls? We hear that Tommy's main subject in school is music-Reed. Maybe you can spell it two ways, but this is the way he prefers it spelled, don't you, Tommy? ROBERT HUFF, JR.-That big hand- some hunk of man comes from Saxton and is the hardest thinker in the class-when it comes to thinking of ways to avoid work. Good-natured with personality plus, our Bo his endeared himself to all of us. He is the guy with the educated toe who seldom failed to kick the Old Apple for that extra point. Also good in basketball, Huff won letters in both sports. His contention that he could make good if the women would keep clear is a well known fact. When questioned as to his future, Huff says, Let that take care of itself-it's the present I'm worried about. MICHAEL HYDOCK-This so-called bashful lad also hails from up Dudley way. Bashful-because he shuns the girls but rumors tell us that he goes for the city gals. Mike's favorite pastime is driving the car and playing cards. He chose the academic course in school and his favorite subject was chemistry. His future is undecided but we think he will be found in Philadelphia. We wonder why??? Well, anyway, we want to wish him great success.
