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.

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

FREDERICK THOMAS HURLOCK-West Vincent INDUSTRIAL ARTS Never a worry, never a care Fred, like many of the rest of us, came from the country and was one of the tallest in our class. He was blithe and carefree, a creature who never had a worry. On days he didn't ride the bus, Fred could be seen making his spectacular entrance driving his mother's station wagon to and from school. In his spare time he posed as a master mechanic. This lad participated in football and enjoyed swimming along with hunting. His inter- est in the opposite sex was quite evident. At any given opportunity his extra- curricular activity was talking to the girls. Fred wasn't sure of his future, likely it will never be uneventful-electrified with thrills and excitement.

IANET MARIE HYDEN-Spring City ACADEMIC She possessed a peculiar talent of producing an effect in whatever she said or did Fashion experts could never keep far ahead of janet. As soon as they had conceived a new idea, she produced the result. Everyone knew it was a woman's privilege to change her mind and Ianet took full advantage, especially in her dealings with Cupid. Ianet's craving for travel never let grass grow under her feet. Aquatic sports also captivated the interest of this active miss. Always with some new idea for fun and frolic, she was the nucleus of much activity. With a degree from Ursinus as her goal, we knew her plans for the future were secure.

She is remembered as the leader of our band her last two years of school. We knew you'd never forget her, the pretty lass from the country. Many trophies proved her to be a clever equestrienne, though she credited her horse, Sox, as the vital element in her winnings. With an eye towards Drexel, Marilyn hoped to enter the field of buying and merchandising. Little difficulty will be found in selling anything, even to the most unsolicitous patron.

PAUL ROBERT KEELEY-East Vincent AGRICULTURE Silence is wisdom Bob, one of the sturdy, rural lads of our class, lived on a large farm adjacent to Spring City, where he worked for his father. His quiet and sober ways were outstanding. This classmate was not only a conscientious student but a distinguished member of the Future Farmers of America. His game of football for the Pirate eleven was worthy of mention, and being a good sportsman, he enjoyed swimming, horseback riding, and baseball. Whenever activity was in the limelight, Bob was always near by. Being never more than just a boy friend to all the girls, he was always a desirable date. Since a good farmer is assured a lucrative livelihood, we were confident that Bob would make the grade. Football 3, 4, Allied Youth 2, 4, Mechanics 3, 4, F. F. A. 1, 2, 3, 4, Varsity Club 4.
