EUGENE Sl-IUKE- Gene is our brown- eyed lad who has plenty of curls on his head and plenty of girls on his mind. He hails from Six Mile Run but manages to get to Saxton quite often-not only during school but also at night. As to Gene's future plans he is undecided but as popular as he is with the girls we have an idea what they might be. We think Mrs. Shuke sounds pretty, don't you??? GLADYS SMITH-Gladys, another girl from Stonerstown is quite active in all social activities. At the present time she is em- ployed in Dr. Thomas' Dental Force. As to her favorite pastime, you either find her dancing or roller skating. After graduating she hopes to become a nurse. About time we get a nurse from our class-Huh?? CHARLES STAPLETON-Hailing from Woodcock Valley, Charles is one of the most widely traveled boys in the Senior Class. Al- ways in company with Meyers, the two lose very little time in covering territory. Charles likes' to read and hunt-especially something to eat. His favorite menu is pork chops and potatoes. His favorite subject is chemistry and his favorite car is a Plymouth and he likes to steal away alone when the urge gets him. Women are not in his line, but the would say with the line he has that he would have little difficulty with the fair sex should he choose to make the proper ap- proach. JAMES STINSON-This handsome bm- nette would be an excellent ad for Arrow Collars or shirts. Always well-groomed and with a pleasing personality our Jimmy will surely be a success at his one ambition to be a Salesman. Rumor has it that Mr. 57 will secure his service and if they do what a lucky firm. Stinson likes to drive the Buick Convertible, play basketball, and eat Chili and hot rolls. His eyes make many a girl's heart flutter and for a while we won- dered whether the South would win from the Northern gals. However, when Jimmy sings his favorite song At Sundown, we are sure he will be standing Pat for the dear old North. DOROTHY TAYLOR-Laughable, lov- able, Cootie. Every class has one and this class is no exception. With a cheerful smile that turns at times into a real laugh Taylor is a favorite of all. Her favorite subject is English, and you should see that gal play basketball. If you think girls are not expert as drivers cast an eye Tay1or's way as she whizzes by in her Old LiZzie. In what little spare time remains Cootie keeps in trim at the bowling alleys and enjoys eating butterscotch pie. Although she likes the song The Things We Did Last Summer, this student still insists there is no heart-throb, which we very much doubt.

JO-ANNE ROARBAUGH-This demure lass carries herself with grace and dignity. A striking brunette, she hails from the moun- tain section and is a very good sport. An ardent Home Economics student this damsel desires to travelg and is preparing for same by being an extensive reader. She also is quite good in the cooking line and loves to make apple pie. You will hear her singing Clair de Lune most every morning as she approaches her locker. We hear there is a reason for her song, and that reason might Bob up most anytime. However when it does, we're sure Jo-Anne will be in complete control of the situation. DOROTHY RYAN-A quiet girl with a pleasant personality is Cork who hails from Dudley and is proud of it. She has a special liking for office work and intends to further it. At present she is occupied down at Stonerstown with a certain Buddy . Her favorite song My Buddy. As to Cork's future she intends to enter Business College. VALENTINO SCARCIA- Vallee , who is our number one Saxophone player in the band, hails from the community of Dudley. He says his favorite pastime is working in the office so he can make eyes at the girls. However, we must admit he is excellent as mimeograph caretaker as well as in attend- ance reports. After graduation his plans are to become a maestro, and he is quite in- terested in Humor-que , the song. From past experience we are certain Vallee will come out on top as a leader. FRANK SI-IANK-Happy-go-lucky Shank is one of the short boys in the class. How- ever all good things come in small packages and this is true of Frank. His one love is Chemistry and for leisure he relishes a good hot brand of baseball. When dinner is served and Frank spys chocolate cake, that grin broadens and you immediately know it's his favorite dessert. Activity period is his best subject, each day at that time finds him and Gene Shuke busily entertaining the girls -any girl. Frank likes to sing for Senti- mental Reasons 1 and when questioned to that definite reason, he is silent. If silence gives consent, we would say-Go to it girls. JACQUELINE SHERLOCK- Still water runs deep may be applied to this gal from Puttstown. During her entire school career Jackie has been interested in Home Ec. and has applied it by being of service to many of the teachers in the evenings-namely Mrs. Hooper and Mrs. Garber. This requires a good deal of her time, but rumor has it that during these past three years she has found a little extra to devote to one particular man. Who he is or other details we have been un- able to learn-and Jackie won't tell.

ELMER TAYLOR-Elmer hails from Six Mile Run and is very busy with his school activities and his homework. By homework we mean his correspondence study course on aeronautical engineering. To become an aero- nautical engineer and draftsman is his am- bition. We know he will succeed because he seems to have a talent to do almost any- thing. He is also a member of the Band and Chorus. As for the band, Elmer is S. L.'s Tommy Dorsey. This is Elmer's favorite pastime too-playing all the popular melodies. Best Wishes Elmer! RHODA THOMAS-This happy-go-lucky blonde is from the city of Defiance. Hurry- ing, scurrying, from Room 8 to the Music Department is her pastime. No affair ever occurs along musical lines but what our Rhoda has an interest in it. A clarinet player in the band, this gal plays the piano and sings a mean note. She has three future aims-secretary, music instructor, or journa- list. Which of these three professions she will follow, time alone can tell. HELEN THOMPSON-An all around gal from Dudley, Helen is the shining light of the class when it comes to girls' sports. She can also sing a mean tune and is noted for her versatility as Soprano, Alto-and who knows, maybe even Bass. In her spare time Helen likes to roller skate, play basketball and dance. Her favorite food is anything just so it's good. We predict a future for this lass as a Health dz Physical Ed. Directorg that is, if she doesn't decide to direct the affairs of some member of the opposite sex. BETTY LOU WEAVER-Pep, vim and vigor describe this young lady. Boasting Saxton as her home town she looks after everyone's interest by working evenings at Ross's and satisfying the appetite of many. Betty Lou's main desire is to have a dress shoppe, and this desire will be realized fol- lowing graduation. We hope Weaver locates in Saxton, because her style and imagination would be a service to the female residents. As student in charge of photography, Betty rendered the class a distinct service as evi- denced by this book. MARCIA WHITNEY-With a smile for everyone, this member of the class has man- aged to find an important place among the group. She hails from Defiance and folks all term her an all-around good sport. In school she pursued the general course and her favorite subject is Salesmanship-Take a bow, Mrs. Garber. Marcia says her am- bition is to become a beautician, but we pre- dict an expert house-wife she would be. Her choice in menu is spaghetti and meat balls. Her favorite song is You Only Want Me When You're Lonely which we very much doubt especially if one gets acquainted with this lovely lady.
