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.

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.

BEVERLY WILLIAMS-Here's to the Editor of our Block g a small but very studious brunette. She is musically inclined but tells us she will major in chemistry at Juniata College after graduation. She is no doubt just putting in time until a tall, at- tractive, gentleman has completed medical school. A combination of medicine and chemistry should make an ideal set-up, don't you think? At any rate Beverly will go places because when this gal makes up her mind nothing will stop her. Good Luck, Bee. MEREDITH WILLIAMS-With eyes like black-eyed Susans, this member of the Class has all masculine hearts a-flutter. Though a resident of Six Mile Run, Micky does quite a lot of traveling and practically every night finds her in Saxton. Hiking is a favorite sport, and she is also fond of dancing. And can that gal eat!-especially spaghetti. Her ambition is to be a Mortician or an Attorney, and at times she surely lays down the law . She has a special liking for anything Reed and if this is maintained we predict an end to the Mortician dreams. PATRICIA WINTER-Our own class Secretary, Pat hails form Six Mile Run. Quiet and unobtrusive she is the power be- hind the throne in many activities. Es- pecially gifted in Home Economics, Pat also takes Shorthand and can type a smooth look- ing letter. Her spare time is given to clerk- ing in a store at Hopewell and when she is able to find additional time likes to roller skate and sew. When asked as to her future plans, Pat stated she hoped to become a beautician and if so we think that would be Jim-Dandy . MARY WORTHING-Did you see the girl with the cute smile? Well, that was our own little Mary who hails from the city of Cherrytown. You can see her quite often, working in the office. Perhaps she's plan- ning for her future at the Secretarial School . Her number one flame also hails from Cherry- town, but Meyers is the quiet type and is often caught talking to her on the sly when no one is near. We are certain Mary will succeed in all that she undertakes with that smile and personality as a booster. PAUL ZIMMERMAN-P. J. hails from Defiance and is quite the mechanical boy, especially when it comes to cars. This lad has a special desire for garage work and hopes to be a mechanic when he gets that Old Diploma. One of the best-liked boys in the school, Paul has a grin for every one and is more than satisfied when in the company of Bill Meyers. His main form of recreation is shooting pool and joy-riding in any old jalopy. We predict for this member a suc- cessful career in the automotive field. Good luck, Paul!
