NIAURICE GEORGE NIAURER 21 North Whitehall Avenue, Greenawalds He wears the colors ofthe school of experience- Blaek and Blue Scar , who will always be remembered by his fellow classmates for his original jokes and can never be forgotten by the teachers for his wisecracks, is one of the spirit-lifting comedians of our class. Frequently M. G. M. is seen cow- boying in his broncho, the Studebaker . His favorite hobby is dog-raising. Probably this is the reason why he is late some mornings. Maurer is Mr. Leibenguth's chief assistant when'movies are to be shown. He expects to go to veterinarian school after graduation. Course: Academic Band 1. JAMES MONTAGNER Allentown, Route 53 Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we prom . ln 1944, Jimmy left school to enter the service. Navy life must have pleased him, for he re-enlisted after his dis- charge in August 1946. At the present time, his duties are co-ordinated with Salvation Army work in Philadelphia. However, since Jim has completed his high school require- ments, he is graduating as a member of the class of '47. Because jim is interested in hotel management, he would like to enter Cornell University to study business adminis- tration. ELAINE CAROLYN NAGLE Cetronia With a smile on her lips and a tear in her eyes i Mfho is that smiling girl with the naturally curly hair and big green eyes? It can be none other than Elaine. A great deal of Elaine's time is spent in reading. However, she also enjoys dancing and has been a staunch supporter of our school dances. In addition she has been a helpful and dependable worker in many extra-curricular activities. After Elaine leaves South Whitehall High School, she in- tends to become a secretary. At the rate she is going, we're sure she will succeed.

' ANNA lWiARIE LICHTENWALNER Allentown, Route 42 Success is the reward of continued effort. Anna Marie is the girl with the lightest hair in our class. Very quiet, she takes a great interest in her school work which is why her name is so frequently seen on the honor roll. Even though her school work takes up quite a bit of her time, Anna Marie finds time for her hobbies: swim- ming, playing the piano, and reading a good book. After she graduates, Anna Marie wants to be a secertary. We wish her lots of success. Course: Commercial Girls Glee Club 2, 3, 43 Mixed Chorus 2, 43 Sowhiter Staff, Senior High Operetta 2. ERMA KXGNES MANTZ Slatington, Route gil No more, no less, always herself. Erma, one of the tallest girls in our class, is usually seen chewing gum, probably a good reason for her being quiet. Her favorite subject is home economics, therefore, she can usually be found doing some work around the house. She likes to dance although she has seldom been seen at our school dances. As yet she is undecided as to her future, but we wish her the best of fortune in whatever she undertakes. Course: Commercial ' Girls Glee Club 2, 3. 4: Mixed Glee Club 3, 4g Home Economics Club 3.

RICHARD EVANS PARRY 1445 North 19th Street, Allentown ll l'rn the one who is sane - the w0rld's mad There's never a dull moment when Dick is around. l 'T VVhen his Fingers aren't twinkling over the ivories producing hot, fast boogiewoogie, he's jesting, but Dick doesn't spend all his time laughing and joking. You can tell he's industrious. When the army called a friend, Dick took over his orchestra. His success as our class president all through school has also been proof of Dick's executive ability. We have a rather good idea of what Dick would like to do in the future. All of us will be waiting to hear that his orchestra is tops everywhere.
