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.

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 ?

'mv M EMMA JOHNSON-See the cute little smile on her face? Well, there is a lot be- hind it. Emma has taken the general course in high school and hasn't made up her mind as to what she wants to become after gradua- tion. She has been in the Chorus for four years and the Sextette for one year. In her leisure hours she may be found in a theater enjoying a good movie. Emma doesn't worry about the boys, she says, but sometimes we wonder if it really is that way. Let's wait and see. ELFRIEDA KNUDSEN-With a brogue that bespeaks culture, Elfrieda is perhaps one of the tallest and blondest lassies in the class. Pursuing the straight academic course, she expects to enter college this fall and from a glance at her scholastic record we predict there will be no bluffin ' when she enters Bluffton. Often seen in the company of an ex-G. I., Elfrieda seems to be giving her attentions to one man and if you'd ask us, we'd say that he's a lucky guy. PEARL LONG-This quiet, young lady hails from Marysville, and is one of the prettiest girls in the class. With always a smile for everyone, she has endeared herself to all of us. You usually see Pearl in the family car riding here and there. She es- pecially likes to spend week-ends in Lewis- town, where-and we'll accept this excuse- her sister lives. Her favorite subject is chemistry. Whether it's the subject, the teacher, or a certain class member, we have not been able to learn. Pearl's ambition is to be a telephone operator. GEORGE McCAI-IAN-One of the most popular members of the school is our Jerry, It matters not in what activity, there you will find him. Prominent in Varsity football, basketball, and baseball, this lad has made a name for himself as well as the school. He is also talented in music, being a member of the school chorus. His out-of-school time is devoted to work with the new Saxton Mfg. Plant. Food is a favorite menu and he is especially fond of sandwiches with his mus- tard. One girl never bothers Jerry, for he loves them all even to the Bakers Daughter. All of which bears our stamp of approval. ANNA GRACE MANLEY-Always jolly and full of fun, our Grace believes in Laugh and grow fat. But we must admit, it is quite becoming and we hope she continues and stays as sweet as she is. Manley has many likes and they include basketball, movies, reading, chicken with all the trim- mings, and Mrs. Garber. Her main ambition is to be a beautician and she is always found grooming someone for an important date. That special boy friend is from New Paris so don't be surprised to hear of the Manley- Shimer Beautician establishment in that city ere long.
