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.

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

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.

PATRICIA HALLER-Spring City SECRETARIAI.. A winning way, a friendly smile, in all, a girl who is Worth while A slender, enthusiastic miss ran along the sidelines and shouted, Long ray for the team! Yes, it was Patsy, the captain of our cheerleaders. Whenever there was pep needed to back up our athletic teams, Patsy was always there. Her pleasant smile and cheery hello were for everyone. When it came time to take part in school activities, which included year- book, glee club, and class plays, Pat was one of the first to render her service. She displayed much ability in commercial studies. In the near future you may find Pat taking dictation from a tall, dark, and handsome young lawyer. She tackled her commercial studies with the same vigor as she attacked all extras. Dictation from a handsome, young lawyer should prove entertaining.

GLORIA DAWN HARRIS-Spring City CLERICAL Silence may be golden, but l prefer silver speech Did you hear that noise which sounded like screeching brakes? It was Gloria and her male pulling up in front of the P. D. Gloria liked to dance very much and displayed exceptional skill. Wherever she was found, you always heard her laughter and her merry-making. Both sewing and skillful handiwork were favorite pastimes. Though not very active in school sports, she enjoyed both swimming and ice-skating. Gloria was enrolled in the commercial course and did well in her work. We knew that her friendliness and constant humor marked her for success in future activities. Mixed Chorus 4, Girls' Chorus 2, 3, Allied Youth 3, 4, Hockey 2, Class Play 3, 4. 7949 'fm 794 EMILY L. HENRY-Spring City ACADEMIC A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature There was a time long ago when we referred to her as little Emily Henry with all the freckles and fiery red hair. But it seemed that during the last few years of school, tc the astonishment of all of us, our Emily decided to grow. Not only did she grow a little, but even taller than some of us who heretofore had to look down at her while speaking with her. Emily did not participate in sports, yet she always enjoyed watching any athletic events. Although her plans for the future were rather indefinite, we could see a slight possibility that her mother's and sister's hairdressing establish- ment might serve as a magnet drawing her into the same orbit. Allied Youth Z. I IEAN MARIE HOFFERT-Spring City CLERICAL A true friend is forever a friend Radar may be the modern scientific device for finding the location of a certain object, but the only implement needed in locating lean was good hearing or the ability to follow the sound of a merry giggle. Her giggles and chattering were never a handicap in climbing to the top of the honor roll. Iean's athletic prowess was strictly of the side-line variety, but she was loyal in her devotion to S. C, H. S. on the football field, the hockey field, and all other sites of sporting events. Enrolled in the business course, lean had no intention of entering the secretarial field, Her leisure time was filled with the reading of an interesting book or sewing a fine seam.
