LEROY DEGLER On February 4. 1916 a tiny baby boy who was later named and baptized Leroy Degler. was born at State Hill. He joined this brilliant class in 9th grade and has been a faithful student and hard worker ever since. His profession is architecture, certainly with his courage and diligence. Leroy must become a beacon light to the profession. Although his ambition is to become an architect. Leroy is also an excellent farmer which he learned when but a mere child. We as a class wish him success in whatever vocation he may choose. On the Ides of March. 1914. that eventful day. a bright son ' appeared on the horizon. • Bud.” as he was known to the whole school. Joined us in the fifth grade. He made a hit at once and became extremely popular, especially with the ladies. Although “Bud never tried out for athletic teams, he was a great follower of all sports, being business manager for the boy's basketball and baseball teams during his Junior year. While he admits he never lost sleep over translating Cicero or parsing Latin, he really is a very keen student and is quick to comprehend his subjects. Bud” is a fluent talker when it comes to expressing his opinion and hit1 suggestions are highly regarded by his classmates. “Bud” hasn't decided on his vocation but we have a •hunefc’’ that in 15 to 20 years he will be some chain-store magnate. 1Y1I MAM BUDDY C. MOYER The portrait accompanying this biography is none other than that of Charles D. Ruth.—a pleasing young gentleman, indeed. 'Charley” was born in Sinking Spring on January 8. 1914. He has been very active in all sports and is a fairly brilliant student. In basketball he starred as a guard through which very few forwards were able to penetrate. In baseball he usually holds down short-stop position. From external appearance Charles seems very serious in everything, but what lies deeper one can hardly fathom. He is one of those fellows who likes to take an occasional vacation or a day-off. As to his future. Charles is on the fence, but there is a certainty of some accomplishment in him. CHARLES D. RUTH

On February 8. 1913 in Lancaster, was bom a baby girl gifted with artistic talent. She joined us in the 3rd grade and ever since we know •Dot” to be a kind of girl who Just takes life as it comes and lets the world roll by. She would impress the average person, as she walks along in her easy going fashion, as one who is absorbing valuable space at Sinking Spring High School which might be used for better purposes. However, she does manage to pull a few worthwhile remarks her way and moves along with the rest of us. DOROTHY CASSEL The studious specimen accompanying this paragraph first disturbed the peace of her town by a sweet soprano voice on June 9. 1914. It seems as if it still lingers in her voice, for to this day she sings soprano. Serious and studious, a man - hater of the third degree, concentration and hard work have made her a student of note. During Mlm’s” leisure, as she is known by her best friends, she was always ready with a helping hand. Her willingness has been well defined. Miriam has a desire to enter McCann’s Business School in September, and we believe that her greatest ambition is to become a stenographer. But no matter what you undertake, we wish you, our class secretary, the best of luck. MIRIAM ‘MIM” C. SCHRACK On June 28. 1914, Chester Homer Bright let out the first of his many howls. Chester ( Chetter”) is one of the few who started his education in this building in 1920. He has been a faithful member of his class ever since. Chester is quite popular with the girls and has a weakness for Catherines. Chester Is an all around athlete and was captain of the basketball team in his Senior year. He was the star third baseman on the baseball team. Chester likes to get into many friendly arguments, especially when playing playground ball. We wish Chester the best of luck in his future occupations. CHESTER HOMER BRIGHT

On January 25. 1914 a little baby boy was born and was later named Paul Sallade. When he was a little baby he no doubt made plenty of noise but somehow or other he seems to have quieted down a bit. He has made quite a name for himself in sports. During his high school career he was an active member of the basketball, baseball, and track teams. He starred for four years in the former two and his flash in track was only recognized in his Senior year when he equaled High School records in the sprint and dashes. Paul has a weakness for brunettes, and we think that's where he gets his inspiration while playing the game. The class as a whole wishes Paul success in whatever field he may enter. PAIL F.. SALLADE Dick, a very ambitious boy. entered our class when we were in 4th grade. Ever since we know him. wc found him to be interested in athletics, especially basketball. Dick starred on the varsity basketball team for the last three years. He has a sunny disposition and a pleasant smile for everyone. This accounts for his popularity especially among the female sex. We do not know whether he has made any definite plans for his future, but we. as his classmates, wish him the best success in whatever course he pursues. RICHARD M. SHIFFTR Born April 29. 1915. • Gene represents the typical high school student, one engaged in some activity or another at all times, and one who is successful on the athletic field and in the classroom. He appears to be of a double nature, for anyone seeing him quietly and studiously poring over his books in the late evening hours would not recognize him as an athelete. Gene is a great student of politics and government. and his opinions are usually well reasoned out. His future educational plans seem to be the pursuit of forestry. We should not be at all surprised to find another • Teddy Roosevelt someday emerging Trom our class, since his interests are almost identical with Roosevelt's. Here is wishing you luck. Gene. We are pulling for you. EUGENE WEIDMAN 9
