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! Mechanics Club 2. 94 SCN-4011.6 1949 ELIZABETH HAND GODSHALL-Spring City ACADEMIC She has strived and achieved Our hardest working fellow student, Betsy, had as her objective a career in nursing. 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.

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.

IEAN ELEANOR GUMMA-Spring City ACADEMIC Quiet and petite with a personality that can't be beat As the smallest member of our class, lean was even shy of the five feet mark. It was unbelievable that a person of so small stature could carry so many iesponsibilities. She proved this fact through her participation in school activities and part-time jobs. During her junior year she attended a New Iersey school but resumed her studies at Spring City for her senior year. Much of Iean's leisure was spent playing the piano and reading the classics. Although she was undecided about her future vocation, which lay between teaching and social work, we are certain she will do her utmost in either field. How could she help it with such initiativel Honor Society 3, 45 Mixed Chorus 45 Girls' Chorus 25 Newspaper 45 Class Play 45 Allied Youth 2, 3, 4. LLOYD E. GUMMA-Spring City ACADEMIC lf he does things that annoy-don't forget he's just a boy This strong, poised male member of our class could be seen each night during football season battling on the field to hold his position as guard. He served well on Spring City's team because of his will and desire to win. His abilities were not entirely centered upon sports, for he was also a worthy student during his stay at Spring City High School. Because of his pleasant personality and willingness to help one in need, he won the respect of his classmates. We knew that because of his stick-to-it-iveness, Lloyd would never let an obstacle become a stumbling block.

R. HACKER-East Coventry CLERICAL Modesty is the beauty of women and Crafts 3, 4. Scholar, athlete, Romeo, comedian, these described Gussie very well You would have thought all those activities would have kept him running but not Gussie5 he couldn't be hurried. He would calmly go about his business, but the surprising thing about it was he always seemed to get it done in plenty of time. His ability to relax and enjoy every moment was an asset in school. In the field of medicine Loren hoped to acquire that suave bedside manner. We predicted that females rather than germs would be affected by that distinctive, professional air.

Although Hazel appeared to be the quiet type, we found that where frolic and laughter prevailed she was the core. When a willing worker was needed, this modest lass was at the top of the list. She possessed the womanly virtue of blushing, almost a lost art. Gifted in art work she dis played a notebook of pictures illustrating this talent. Although Hazel was enrolled in the business course, it was hard to think of her as a secretary She whiled away her leisure in ice-skating, swimming, drawing, and joking with her friends. With all that talent, sharp wit, and personality Hazel will always be remembered by her classmates. Yearbook 45 Cheerleading 45 Softball 3, 45 Class Officer 2, 3 4 Arts
