CAROLINE ELEANOR KERN-Spring City SECRETARIAL lf you're in a trance, ask Caroline to dance You heard a friendly lass chattering as she walked through the halls, that was Caroline, one of our livelier classmates. She chose the secretarial course and did splendid work. As an active cheerleader, her spirit and enthusiasm were an inspiration to eager fans, Her whiling hours were spent in sewing and in doing her favorite jig at the Polka Dot. Upon graduation, Caroline intended to become a secretary in some elaborate office, but we cannot picture her other than in the kitchen ofa cottage for two.

RICHARD WILLIAM LIGHTCAP-Spring City INDUSTRIAL ARTS Music to some is a treasureg to others a pleasure Dick, an active music student, proved his record during his many years in the band. He was well known for his friendliness, which was always accompanied with a pleasing smile. Dick spent his leisure time either practicing on his comet or cruising around in his mighty Willys. He was the regular Mr. Fixit in our class and could be relied on to repair any- thing that was damaged. lt was sincerely hoped that his wish to become an orchestra member would come trueg but let's hope that he always re- members the class of '49, Band l, 2, 3, 4, Allied Youth 3, Mechanics Club 4. 949 'fm 7949 NANCY IEAN LONG-Spring City CLERICAL A smile and a word for everyone This attractive Miss of our class was one with whom we found pleasure in conversing, Her smile gave us a lift many times. Usually in the midst of a friendly circle, she was outstanding. ln school Nancy was a conscien- tious student. Her friendly ways gave her a brand of popularity especially pleasing to the opposite sex. She will make a fine secretary, according to all indications. Whatever she undertook was completed with ease and decorum. Her favorite spot was the kitcheng however, indications from the commercial grapevine pointed to another field of interest - page the efficient secretary! Allied Youth Z, 4. EDNA MAE K. LUSTIG-Schuylkill SECRETARIAL Always have a good time Ohio's loss was certainly Spring City High's gain when Edna Mae came here in l945. The tall, dashing brunette became popular immediately with both the girls and boys, one especially. She had a winning personality and a loveable Way-which caused her to be always in demand. After school she could be seen on the parking lot either cranking the Chevy or fixing a flat tire. In her senior year Edna was seen on the football field cheering the boys to victory-there was a potent reason. In later years, the efficient secretary personified-that will be Edna Mae.

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.

Io was one of our delightful additions to the freshman class. Every morning she came to school via the East Vincent bus. Her energy and vitality were shown on the softball team. Io showed good sportsmanship and team spirit in every athletic encounter. Among her list of activities were hunting, swimming, and skating. When she was present, there was never a dull moment, because her pranks and witty remarks could always be anticipated. Io's good nature and efficient endeavor marked her an applicant for success in the business world. Softball 2, 3, 4. ingenuity and determination to better himself His quiet ways and friendly manners made Allen a real personality. He was always ready to co-operate-taking an active part in class projects, in the Key Club, and in his favorite sport, football. Reading occupied much of Allen's spare time, although he liked to go out with the gang in search of excitement. School work was never shirked, so it was a foregone con- clusion that Allen, who was one of our most industrious members, was sure to succeed in his study of interior decorating at Williamson Trade School.

McCORMICK-East Vincent SECRETARIAL Who thinks little and talks much ALLEN RICHARD MCINTYRE-Spring City INDUSTRIAL ARTS ' 79449 ARTHUR C. MILLER-East Vincent AGRICULTURE Happy am I, from care I'm free. Why aren't they all contented like me? In the future if you are in need of repairs around the house or a new home, just drop by Artie's contracting office. This easy-going chap could usually be found with his trusty rifle during hunting season. He was an avid member of the Future Farmers of America and always had a few farming projects on the run. Artie, along with his brother, Bob, joined us in our sophomore year and was immediately given the name Paper be- cause of his New York accent. Without a doubt, Artie's loyalty and good will marked him as a classmate of note. . Football 3, F. F. A. 2, 3, 4, Allied Youth 4. ROBERT HARRY MILLER-East Vincent AGRICULTURE Not that I love study less-but that I love fun more Bob, accompanied by his New York accent, came to S. C. H. S. from Philadelphia to start his sophomore year. At first he was quiet in strange company, but he could also be the life of the party when out with the boys. Bob was one of the big threats in our '47 and '48 football lines, where he played tackle and guard. He was also a member of the varsity baseball team. As an active member of the Future Farmers of America he spent his spare time caring for his chickens. Though agriculture interested him in school, it was expected that Bob would be recognized as a successful contractor. Football 2, 3, 4, Baseball 2, 37 F. F. A. 2, 3, 4: Boys' Varsity Club 3, 4.
