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.

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.

GERALD DALE MOELLER-Spring City ACADEMIC A merry heart that laughs at care ' Now here we had a rare individual whose favorite subjects were chem- istry and biology. Perhaps he was fond of them because they were easy for him to grasp. Gerald was often found doing experiments in the labora- tory. This work had probably influenced his desire to become a professional butcher by attaching an MD. to his name. Although he was quite fond of football, his real preference was track in which he attempted to set a new record. Winter sports such as skiing and ice-skating were among his favorites. He enjoyed taking trips-who wouldn't with a new Hudson at his command? Football 3, Track 3, Class Play 4, Key Club 2, 3, 4, Chess Club 4, Photography Club 3, Allied Youth Z, 3, 4.
