94 RUTH S. MITCHELL-East Coventry CLERICAL Quiet persons are welcomed everywhere Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what good little girls are made of. This was true of Ruth, who was a good sport and well mannered. Her hobbies consisted of skating, horseback riding cmd strangely enough- housework! Ruth longed to travel and planned to go to California. In her spare time she played the piano. That served as additional practice, for her ambition was to become a telephone operator. In the future when you are greeted with a courteous, Number, please, be assured that Ruth is the hello girl. 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. Suubfu 7949 HERBERT H. MOSTELLER-Spring City AGRICULTURE Get all your fun while you can, as life is short Herb was one of the quiet students of our class and spent most of his time working at one of the local markets. Although this lad didn't take part in school sports, his hobbies were gardening, raising chickens, and fishing down at the bay with his employer. As an agricultural student, Herb was a very active member of F. F. A. and never shied away from a job that had to be done. Being quiet in school, he afforded one much excitement in his moments of relaxation. His aim was to own a large farm in the future, and with this determination be assured his goal will be reached. F. F. A. 2, 3, 4. RICHARD LEWIS MULL-East Coventry INDUSTRIAL ARTS I got plenty o' rhythm Dick was one of our all-around athletes. He excelled in all sports, but baseball especially. Whenever he was talking seriously, you could be sure it was about his greatest pastime, baseball. Dick as a pitcher was tops, and his greatest ambition was to someday play professional baseball with the Philadelphia Phillies. Outside of the school sports, Dick spent his time playing the trumpet and singing the latest popular songs. Winning friends was an art in which Dick was very adept. He was quick to show his temper on the field, but his desire to win spelled future success.

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.

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.

ANNE NEBORAK-Limerick Township ACADEMIC Full of fun and fancy free Anne-attractive, naive, nifty, energetic-the girl we all loved and admired. Who could enumerate the many things we respected and were grateful for in this pal? Her charming role in the Iunior Class play, those innocently humorous remarks in the midst of a serious discussion, her comical confusion in typing class, and last but not least her policy of saying only nice things about people were traits which made Anne the Sweet Sue of our school days. Carrying on in the family athletic tradition, she was our varsity hockey right inner who found so much pleasure in the sport.

MABEI. LOU NEIL-Spring City CLERICAL Friendly and pleasant to everyone Mabel, who came to us from Virginia, was identified by her southern drawl. For the past several years she spent her vacations there renewing old acquaintances. Mabel greatly enjoyed traveling and appreciated beau- tiful scenery. She had many hobbies, but her favorites were square dancing and bowling. Having been luckier than most of us, Mabel was able to ride to school in her faithful chariot. Often she was seen chauffeuring her mother about town. It was useless for us to even try to get her attention while she was behind the wheel. Even the loudest Hi wasn't acknowledged because it was her policy to keep her eyes on the road at all times. What- ever her future plans may be, we're sure her friendly, How you all? will enter into them. Nature Club 3. 94 .iuubfm 7949 MARGUERITE E. NOEL-Spring City SECRETARIAL I'd rather use small words and know what I am saying Noely was our fun-loving classmate whose long, strawberry blonde hair was the envy of all. lt looked especially attractive when she donned her rnajorette uniform and marched in front of the band to some spirited tune. An ardent lover of good food, including desserts, she was lrequently found munching a peanut butter cup-one of her favorite confections. Her unusual burst of hearty laughter marked her as one who always appreciated any humorous story or incident. Noely's dressmaking ability was one of her many talents. So, let us raise our glasses of coke and drink to a regular girl. Band 3, 4, Newspaper 45 Class Play 4, Hockey 25 Allied Youth 4. PATRICIA ANN O'CONNOR-Spring City ACADEMIC A twinkle in her Irish eyes, a saucy little nose- And always full of mischief wherever she goes When one saw this colleen's roguish smile, one knew it was Pat's. She was cheerful and gay with a witty response for every remark. Her love for excitement usually took her to its source. Pat enjoyed dancing more than eating and sleeping. Though her partner tired, she still bubbled with energy. Tex Beneke's music was her favorite. On stormy nights she liked to curl up in a large chair with a spine-chilling mystery story. With her head in the clouds, her hands and feet engaged in serving air travelers, this charming maiden will supplant any clouds of doubt with silver lining.
