i l RICHARD ROY KOCH Orefield, Route ji-1 Success is one per cent genius and ninety-nine pei' cent workv We certainly must give Richard the credit for seeking an education. He has been particularly interested in all his scientific and mathematical studies. However, he varies his activities by backing up our debate club in a fine way and by enjoying a good relaxing game of basketball. We all hope to see Richard go to college, for he certainly de- serves an opportunity to advance his many applied interests. Your classmates know, Richard, that you will always try hard in whatever field of endeavor you choose. Course: Academic Debate 3, 43 Sowhiter.

At other times Helen sews, listens to music on the radio, or plants flowers. Biology, Latin and French are her favor- ite subjects. Kokie has made no definite plans for the 5 future. i 1 l ii Course: Academic 35 Senior High School Operetta 25 Mixed Chorus 3: junior Oratorical Contest.- 1 1 ll Q R Page Twenty-fue l 4 7947 Sawfullea Ill

l l l l NoRwooD N. KERN Allentown, Route ,cgi IL His every pleasureis in the game. ' Here's our star. How often during our high school years have we cheered for Woody ! Much of his time has been spent either playing basketball or practicing those l shots which placed his name at the top of scoring lists. However, everyone agrees that Norwood's popularity is due not only to his ability on the basketball court, but also to his ever-friendly attitude and pleasant disposition. Because Norwood is interested in a special trade, he wishes to con- tinue his education. Here's to you, Norwood, as a good friend and all-around classmate. May you find success.

Also occupying much of his time are trapping and ground- hog hunting. Lessons come second in Charlie's life for ' singing takes first place. Charlie is South Whitehall's Frank Sinatra. He'd rather sing than eat, and although he claims he wants to be a railroad man or a cattle dealer, we still predict he'll sing for his supper. ROMA Louisa KLECKNER Allentown, Route .ji-1 Sober, steadfast, and denture. The quietness of the senior class is personified in Roma. Even though a bit quiet, Roma enjoys a good time and her quiet nature does not prevent her from having fun wherever she goes. Her favorite hobby is dancing, and she has always been found at all school dances. She also enjoys ice-skating. As to the future, her intentions are undecided. Good luck to you, Roma.
