ALBERT F. CARL-East Vincent INDUSTRIAL ARTS To some students studies are delightful, to others, frightful Albert was a faithful classmate with an amiable personality, this was the reason for his having so many friends. A capable student, he always had his work completed on time. He enjoyed all sports and played on the baseball team two years. Trapping fur-bearing animals was his favorite avocation. He was usually found working either in his father's garage or on the farm, this proved he was skilled in many ways. His characteristic thriftiness and his firm belief in saving for a rainy day should surely keep him well supplied with the necessities of life. Baseball 3, 4, Mechanics 3, 4. PHILIP LAVERNE CARL-Spring City INDUSTRIAL ARTS He enters into work and play in the same good-natured, jolly way We really had to hand it to Phil, our class president throughout high school. Although many mutinies threatened, he steered our class safely from the rocks of chaos to the shores of compromise. His popularity spoke for itself through his election to the presidency for three consecutive years, the last being a clean sweep. Phil's eagerness to play football and other sports brought an able player into our midst. He certainly kept the ball rolling by his interest in all class activities. May we add our many thanks, Phil, for a iob well done.

PAULINE MAY BEITLER--Spring City CLERICAL Sweet and serene, that was Pauline Quiet? Yes, Pauline was quiet in school, at least. If you felt down and out, she served as a good tonic. Her sunny smile, pleasing personality, and sense of humor were just what the doctor ordered to cheer you up. Pauline displayed her talents in hockey, sewing, and cooking. As a member of the hockey squad she was one of the star players and also the captain of the team in her senior year, For the past few summers her time was spent working as a waitress at the shore. Be it a tea room, a business office, or a home of her own, Pauline will reign supreme. Hockey 2, 3, 4, Mixed Chorus 3, 4, Girls' Varsity Club 3, 4. MARGUERITE IOAN BICKHART-Spring City ACADEMIC A miss is as good as her smile First impressions are very important, it's true, but if one tried to deter- mine Ioan's personality from her school manners, he would be sadly mis- taken in his conclusions. Quiet, yes, but oh, what a mischief-loving heart that mask of innocence veiled! Her twinkling eyes and merry dimples en- deared her to all. Although Bicky was never a candidate for All-American,'.' she was an enthusiastic rooter at most S. C. H. S. sporting events. Being one of those people who found life so much more interesting when it was packed full of surprises, Ioan had no plans for the future, but we fully expected to see her in a position where fun is regular and tricks are constant.

BLAUSER-Spring City INDUSTRIAL ARTS Sometimes not succeeding, but always trying Bob, one of the good-natured fellows in our class, was well known to most of the students. He was always pleasant, and it took much teasing to provoke him. He was natured to take things easily and not become excited. Bob always had a great interest in the field of photography, and he hoped to someday open a place of business or a shop of that kind. When you grew to know Bob, he proved to be a faithful friend. Sometimes it was difficult for him to see through and understand an explanation. However, what he mastered was his to keep. ' Photography Club 4. DONALD L. BUCKWALTER-East Coventry INDUSTRIAL ARTS True wit is nature to advantage drest Did you hear that joke Red Skelton told last night? Well - - - If you heard that remark and you followed in the direction of the sound, you probably found a tall, curly-haired boy Our friend Donald was about to spin the yarn he heard told by one of his favorite comedians. He always kept his friends laughing, either by going through a routine of his own .or by mimicking a famous showman. Interested mainly in machines and their maintenance, Don's studies were in the field of mechanics. After graduation he hoped to work in a garage just long enough to acquire sufficient expe- rience for managing his own service station, which awaited him in the future. Mechanics Club 4. I

BLANCHE MAY co1.1.oPY-spring city CLERICAL Her eyes like stars of twilight fair Arts and Crafts 3, 4. IACK CULLUM-Spring City INDUSTRIAL ARTS We would all be idle if we could 1949 Snmbfm I. EDWARD DAVIS-East Pikeland ACADEMIC A man of iron with a baby face It mattered little to Eddie whether he had a pick and shovel in his hand, played football, or enjoyed a Saturday night date, for he was as much at home with one as he was with the other. His popularity with both sexes made him tops, while his dry humor brightened many a dull class. Living in a rural district never bothered Ed nor his interests. His plans for the future pointed toward college with the ultimate goal of following in his father's footsteps as a general contractor. Eddie's willing ways, helping hands, and unselfish co-operation will remain paramount in our memory.

DELL-East Pikeland ACADEMIC Can we ever have too much of a good thing? Scoring points was Iimmy's favorite pastime, a touchdown, a home run, and a loul shot were parts of his regular routine. Yet this young patriot never abandoned his soap box from which he proclaimed the glories and wonders of the great metropolis of Kimberton. Iim was especially fond of the iair sex and could usually be found tantalizing one of the many. Summer vacations were always spent by occupying his favorite berth on the East Pikeland nine. Iimmy expected to grace Appalachian State Teach- ers College with his presence. By granting his studies a little more of his time, a superb phys-ed teacher will emerge.
