NANCY DIEMEH-Spring City ACADEMIC Baton in hand, boots on feet, a majorette that can't be beat A flash of the baton, a dazzling white uniform, and a striking little girl strutting down the football field! Nancy attracted attention as unintention- ally as a playful kitten in whatever she did, whether it was on parade with the band or just being everyone's cheeriest pal. She was always willing to lend a helping hand at home with the housework and at school with all activities. You expected to find Nan up to her ears in work of all sorts and having a wonderful time doing it. We proudly present Nancy Diemer, a young lady guaranteed to make the world a happier place because of her presence.

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.

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.

A pleasant smile always announced the presence of Blanche She con stantly looked on the bright side of life and could see no reason for worrying even about school. Blanche was the envy of most ot her classmates be cause of her permanent for which nature was responsible. After school she could be found working in a local store and in her spare time emoyed reading or baking a cake. She liked most sports and although she did not participate in them, she had considerable talent. This was seen in gym class when there was a lively soccer game being played. Her pleasing personality stamped Blanche a success in any future career. Work! What's that? Yes, lack was the type who would ask lust that He never had a worry, for as far as lack could see there was nothing to worry about. He was always found where argument was in the making mainly because he started it. A real friend to all of his many friends lack was known for his timely wisecracks and rich sense of humor, His favorite sport was bowling-not to mention his average. Upon graduation Iack had reached no decision as to what line of work he would like to tackle but we are sure that in his own inimitable way, he'll get by. 94

NANCY ANN FRY-East Vincent CLERICAL V Anything for a laugh Now here was a lass we considered a jack-of-all-trades. Her Ford's incapacity for locomotion never perplexed Nancy5 she knew just which Wire to twist and which part of the motor needed that reassuring jolt with the hammer. A genuine jitterbug to the core, Urch enjoyed dancing and spent much of her time at the Hut In the summer she helped her father with paperhanging in addition to other part-time jobs. Our indomitable center forward was an infinite supply of energy. Urch led our hockey team on to many victories and was a good tonic for our downcast spirits in defeat. Long faces will broaden and light Xhearts laugh when Nancy enters into their lives. Hockey l, 2, 3, 45 Basketball 35 Softball l, 2, 3, 45 Allied Youth 45 Girls' Varsity Club 2, 3, 4. RUSSELL PAUL FUNDERWHITE-West Vincent INDUSTRIAL ARTS 5 Shall I go on, or have I said enough? As we all knew, Russell could always be found where excitement was in the air. He liked to be with men of his own type, men who enjoyed farming. When you went out with him, if you didn't have a good time, you could always say it was your own fault. Russell, like many others, enjoyed sports but couldn't participate in them because he worked on his father's farm after school. He had many close friends and was well liked by all. It is predicted that a scientifically operated farm will claim all Russell's future time-we wonder!

This able scholar attacked her studies with a willing interest and maintained an enviable record. Business before pleasure was her axiom. Possessing an on-the-go spirit, Betsy tried her hand at many things-ranging from playing the piano lor her own enjoyment to selling hotdogs at football games. Her many friends and activities kept her spare time well occupied. As an Angel of Mercy, life opened to avenues of helpfulness, unselfishness, and devoted service.

GRUBB-Spring City CLERICAL A day is not a day without a laugh If you ever attended a hockey game at S. C. H. S., you were sure to hear Bern above the rest. She played right wing on the team and was always full of spirit. Bern also liked softball and was on the girls' team. But then was there a sport she didri't enjoy? When there was something funny said, you could be sure that she would add her gay laughter to the rest of the crowd. She was interested in music and usually put in her required hours of practicing her piano lessons. Bernice plans to attend a hairdressing school, so make your appointments early, girls.
