BLANCHE A. MACHEMER Twas a beatiful day. on May 30. 1931 all the bands were playing and hearts seemed gay when Blanche Arlene Machemer was introduced into this world. Blanche has always lived in Sinking Spring and has always been a member of the class. She has a very fair complexion, blonde hair, from which she has acquired the name of Blondy She has always been a bit plump but the class has found out the reason why. It is because of the great distance in which she has to go to school. She receives too much exercise. Blanche is greatly interested in drawing. She takes it very seriously and permits her personality to enter into her work. In all her spare moments she takes paper and pencil and starts in sketching a good looking man in a roadster or something to that effect, which all the other girls quarrel over to possess. Blanche has a gift for art. She can do more than mere caricature work. We see a remarkable future for Blanche in the field of illustrating. Success must attend her. It wis on the 12th of September. 1913 that Arlene Keener Gring let out a howl announcing her exist -A« b by she must have been quite pretty for he still regains this charming feature. She has been a member of the class for 12 years and we are proud to call her a member. Arlene is quite studious and extremely popular. She has a pleasing personality and is also exceptionally easy to look at, being able to boast of beautiful w'avy brown hair and eyes. Arlene has proven herself quite an actress, having in her Freshman year played a part in the class of 30 s Sophomore year play. She played the leading roles in both class plays given during our Senior year. She is also talented along the musical line. She can play the piano and is an exceptionally good singer, having plaved the leading role in an opperetta two years ago. When at home Arlene spends most of her time at the piano. She has hopes of taking a secretarial course at some business school and we feel that she would prove a very efficient secretary. (We hope though 'hat her employer will be able to keep his mind on his work after engaging her. instead of merely spend »ng his time gazing at her ) However, we wish her a most glorious and happy future. ARLENE K- GRING On October 25, 1911 a plump red cheeked doll, Flora Wenger Cassel arrived in Lancaster. Pa. After a few years as a Lancastarian, Flora proceeded toward Sinky, iicr first stop being Manheim. At this place she spent her first three years of her school life. She was kept quite busy with her school work and recreation, which was taking care of her dolls and pets. Much time was spent along this line which caused her though a mere child, to be deeply interested in nursing. She Joined the class of 31 in fourth grade and has been a faithful student and hard worker ever since- Her profession is to be nursing Certainly with her cour-a'te. diligence, and always ready smile. Flora must bcccme a beacon light to the profession. FLORA W CASSEL

On the 9th day of August, 1914 Ruth Augusta Harpel made her appearance in this town Her middle name was derived from the month in which she was born. Through her brilliancy she “skipped second grade and joined us in third. Ruth has a beautiful mass of curly brown hair from which she derived the nick name Fuzz”. Ruth is the most talented musician of the Senior Class. She is our popular pianist. Many a time Puzz has set the feet of both young and old a tapping. Not very long ago Ruth received as a grad uation gift a new baby grand piano In recognition of her ability along the musical line. Since then she has spent 99 per cent of her time playing it. We see a wonderful opportunity in the field of music for this talented senior and we as a class wish her success and sincerely hope that in the future we will be able to attend one of her concerts. RUTH A. HARPEL On August 21, 1913, this little maiden became a citizen of Reading, Pa. At the age of three she migrated to Sinking Spring where she later started her education. This lively youngster at an early age took particular interest in dancing and elocution and showed great ability along this line. She continued with the work until recently when she reached her goal in dancing, had the honor of receiving a diploma, and will receive another in elocution. To receive three diplomas in the same year is setting a record. We hope that by acquiring three she has not minimized the value of any one. We wish our “Five foot two - eyes of blue. lots of success on Broadway. ETHELYN S. WILK On March 11. 1913. Verna Marguerite Yerger entered this world. She has always been in our class. Verna is of a more reserved nature and doesn’t have much to say. but who can tell what goes on in thaqraiind of hers? Verna has quite a sense of humor .and-spends a great deal of her time giggling School must agree with Verna for during the past few years she has gained considerable avoirdupois. Verna's parents want her to become a nurse but Verna dosen’t want to be anything of the sort. She is rather willful so we suppose she will have her way. We as a class wish her success in whatever vocation she may choose. TJ VERNA M. YERGER
