He is in great demand at social affairs. He has the appearance of always being in the midst of some important task. His hobbies include driving trucks, caring for orchards, and, of course, women. Shop happens to be his favorite subject. His main school activity has been mixed chorus and he has given that group three years of faithful service. Donald hopes to go into the fruit business with his father. Course: General Activities: Mixed Chorus 2, 3, 4: Debate Play 4. EDWARD R. HAAS Breinigsville, R. 112 Edward is one of the bigger boys in the class. He is a cheerful, happy-go- lucky fellow who doesn't care too much for academic work. VVhile at South Whitehall, however, he has managed to store up quite some knowledge, and we are inclined to believe that he does much better than he claims. Haasy , as his friends call him, likes the outdoor life. He is happiest when hunting, camping, or working on a farm. Edward tells us that he would like to enter Penn State College and take a course in agriculture, after which he would like to settle down to modern farming. Course: General HAROLD E. HAAs Allentown, R. 33 This modest-looking boy is a great politician. Consequently he is a basket- ball manager, and a good one. He is very conscientious, industrious, and has the best interests of the school always at heart. Haasie is an athlete as well, as is shown in his two years of track. He is likely to be found hunting and fishing whenever he gets the chance. Haasie is the mainstay of the printing depart- ment and he tells us that his life's ambition is to follow the printing trade. We know he will succeed in his chosen field, for he is an all-around good fellow. Course: General Activities: Basketball Manager 1, 2, 3, 43 Track 3, 43 Sowhiter.

His pet hobby is horses. A great part of his spare time this year was spent in securing advertising for the year book, and he turned in a creditable job. The girls tell us that he is a smooth dancer, although he won't admit it. Albert's future is undecided, but we all feel certain that he will find his life work somewhere in the business world.

You would never guess how much managing ability, love of fun, and courage she has under her calm and self-contained exterior. Her cheerful grin, merry chatter, and brilliant ideas brighten the gloom wherever she goes. A great deal of her time here at school is devoted to majorettes. Her hobbies include horses, art, photography, swimming, and skating. As for the future, Marie's plans are not definite, but she would like to enter art school. VVe hope she will be successful.

HEINI.Y Schnecksville This quiet youth has the gift of attending strictly to his own business, and this seems to keep him busy enough. He can be very industrious at times, but informs us that getting the inspiration to begin is his greatest problem. Heinie has not mixed to any extent in school affairs. His favorite sport is hunting, although he likes basketball. We've never known him to be around school on the opening day of hunting season. After graduation, Delbert would like to join the Navy and see the world. Our best wishes accompany him on the seven seas. Course: General Illllll SllWHllfll ff
