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.

After school she could be found working in a local store and in her spare time emoyed reading or baking a cake.

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.

Possessing both a voice of rare quality and a tomboyish disposition Betty was a fascinating companion. Kittens day dreams consisted of musical wishes and sporting ambitions.

Bill always was on hand iust in time to drag our spirits from the mire of despair. He made us smile even in our darkest moments Not only was he an ardent football fan, but he helped keep the games full of spirit as a trumpet player in the high school band Chris was a born actor and had much poise before an audience As our efficient treasurer he was kept busy balancing the books.

BETTY ANN ECKENRODE-Spring City CLERICAL Nothing was ever achieved without enthusiasm A true companion and a loyal friend, these were the characteristics that marked Betty Ann. With her happy-go-lucky ways and winsome per- sonality many were added to her long list of friends throughout the school years. Her leisure time was spent in reading books or with lack. She had many hobbies but her two favorites were playing the piano and dancing. Although she didn't take part in sports, she was always in attendance at the games. Betty, upon the completion of her school days, planned to work in a factory, but we knew that a certain incompleted project would receive priority rating. 7949 Snmbfm 7949 in .,,.v-MH. IV U. RONALD F. ELLIOTT-East Coventry INDUSTRIAL ARTS A little nonsense now and then is relished by the best of men Ronald was the top man in our class, for he was a good two inches taller than any other classmate. His deep bass voice often could be heard echoing through the halls. Ronald was a good worker, and he had a fine sense of humor. Because he worked in the Parkerford Bakery after school, he did not take part in sports, but his work for our class was of the best. Upon graduation the future remains uncertain, however, the baking busi- ness and Ronald's experience as an outdoor man should provide him a profitable career. F. F. A. 4, Photography 3, 4, Radio 3. CHARLES EMMETT F INKBINER-East Vincent ACADEMIC A Workman that needeth not to be ashamed Milkman, milkman, service with a smile. Yes, that was Charlie whose scholastic records, executive ability, and musical prowess were very com- mendable. This energetic lad came into our midst from New York State. Their loss was definitely our gain. Skiing, hunting, and camping were a few of his activities. He had a way with the fairer ones of our class, so his Saturday nights were never without an interest. Track was Charlie's favorite sport, he also was a great Dodger fan. Although Charlie planned to prefix his name with Doctor, the vast field of chemistry is predicted a likely berth.
