FRANK DENNIS “Itchie “Itchic”. one of our Trombone looters, trots from Stonerstown each day. His main hobby is driving the Chevy and maybe he has reasons for going places. He has a liking for girls, but we suppose it could be boiled down to a certain blonde. Frank is mostly seen in the com- pany of Worthing and the gang. Whatever his ambition of life is to be. we wish him all the suc- cess in the world. HELEN ELDER “Naomi” Our small, but sweet brunette, whose voice would make even Gail Russell envious. Helen’s pleasing personality has made her a friend to all rather more than a friend to some. Her spare time in school is spent in assist- ing in any way she possible can. Helen’s favorite pastime is danc- ing and roller skating. She pains to follow the Florence Nightin- gale tradition, she is considering being an air hostess. EDWARD DIXON “Muscles” “Muscles”, as he likes to lx1 called is quite a fellow and if you really want the low-down just ask Donna. Eddie spends more time on the road to Riddlcs- burg and in Riddlesburg than at home. Eddie quotes on his tra- vels. “Those skunks are getting the best of me.” If you like crazy experiences just ask him to relate his while at Cypher Beach this summer. He’s really quite a good looking fellow and what a man in a football uniform. FERN DIXON “Lulu” We arc very proud of this sweet, brown-eyed brunette of our class. She is our “Editor-in- chief’ of the Block and a better one no school could provide. With a smile for everyone, plenty of personality, and lots of pep she has managed to find an important place among the group. Playing basketball is at the top of Fern’s list of favorite pastimes. She also likes to dance, listen to records, read poetry, and take in a good movie. Fern has not vet decided upon her future but whatever she may choose we’re betting that Fern will succeed. ERNEST DONALDSON “Emir” “Ernie” is another of Coal- mont’s great contributions to the class of ’48. Very often he is re- ferred to as the “Joe I . Brown ’ of the class because of his win- ning smile, and that smile has caused many a girl to stop and lake notice. He spends most of his time in Dudley adding a little more gasoline to his flame. “Ernie” likes sports better than his classes. Here’s hoping he has loads of good luck during l.is life. JAMES FINK “Einstein” This windy trumpet player blows from Stonerstown. Jim has been with us for two years ; nd during that time has made many friends, although some from the weaker sex are con- sidered a little closer than friends, e en if they do come from Mar- lin burg. Jint has many pas- times namely eating candy in school and reading funny Ixxiks GENE FIX IE mi Gene hails from Six Mile and is well liked by all his fellow students, lie has been in the band several years and can really play his trumpet. He is also president of the band this year. Ilis favorite pastime is chasing the girls. He also has a special liking for “Stake.” Good luck Gene in whatever you decide to do. MAXINE FLEEGLE “Grrt” Our very own strawberry blond who seems to make a lasting im- pression with everyone: Maxine flashes a dazzling smile and the world beams. Taking the com- mercial course, she dries quite a lot of work in the office and aside from this, she says she enjoys very much being Mr. Shoemaker’s secretary. She plays an active game of basketball as well as being very grxxl at danc- ing. As for love-life. Maxine can’t seem to make up her mind . s to whether she prefers S- L. fcx»tball players of S. L. alumni. Whatever she decides upon, we’re backing her up one hundred per cent by saying. “'Hie best of everything to you.”

Dolores takes a great interest in basket- ball and specializes in those long shots. “Sis” tells us she has a definite liking up at Dudley Hill. This likeable, loveable little girl plans to be a secretary, that is. if “Reed” doesn't step in. Her favorite song is “Near You” and we understand why.

Edna excels in homc-ec. and will prob- ably take advantage of her talent in future home making. DONALD BRUMBAUGH “Bumpy” Don is the boy with the magic educated toe. We never missed the extra point when “Pumpy” was behind it. Big, husky, and handsome, he did an excellent performance as the Lieut, in “Dear Ruth”. We wonder why Don travels to the post office, morning, noon, and night.5 Is it because he is expecting some special mail or is it the post office clerk? Don has received several scholarships for football from dif- erent colleges but hasn't decided which one. We feel it will be a good decision. RICHARD BURKE “Lyle” Lyle, and intelligent and de- pendable fellow from Dudley, can be found where ever there are girls but especially around the teachers.

Dick’s future is undecided but thinks he would like being a school teacher.

His spare time is spent with a young “Baker” from Church Street. With looks galore and personality plus. Paul will have no trouble facing the world. TONY CIUCCI This gentleman of wit and charm is another Dudley ad- dition to the class. Tony is a very talented man and is al- ways ready to take good advice as long as it doesn’t interfere with his pleasure- Despite his devil may care nature. 'Pony has proved his self reliance, and has shown all the symptoms of a successful future. SHELTON COLLARE Meet one of Dudley’s credits and contributions to the class. We just recently discovered Shel- ton’s good taste in poetry and one day we caught him in a ren- dezvous with Shakespeare. 'Phis likable chap isn’t much of a talker but we’ve detected valu- able traits in him. namely, quiet dignity, and though we’ve never heard any shouts of hilarious laughter coming from his direc- tion. his sense of humor is re- markable. Shelton wants to drive a Greyhound bus someday. We’re sure your success will travel fast. Shelton.
