PHYLLIS IOYCE ROSEN-Spring City SECRETARIAL A fair and friendly lass was she A green Nash stopped in front of the Polka Dot. A blonde, fair-haired girl tumbled out. Hi, Phyllis, want to dance? Yes, that was a common invitation during Phyllis's high school life. Dancing and listening to Frankie's latest records were her favorite hobbies. In the field of sports she chose hockey, playing right halfback. She was seen dribbling and pass- ing the ball up the field, likewise she was always waiting in position when it came her way. She planned to become a secretary whose willingness and pleasing disposition, we know, will provide success in any endeavor. Hockey l, 2, 3, 4, Newspaper l, 2, Girls' Varsity Club 3, 4. ELAINE DORIS SAYLOR-Spring City CLERICAL Happy-go-lucky, fair and free, nothing ever bothers me Among the many enthusiastic rooters at football and basketball games we distinguished a familiar voice coming from a certain tall, dashing brunette. With intensified spirit, Elaine was the spark of much gaiety. Horses and dogs captivated her interest in addition to rug-making and the movies. Her compatible attitude towards work was a cornerstone of her pleasant temperament. lt is said that time waits for no man, and Elaine was no exception. She escaped tardiness many times by a very narrow margin. When we pick up the telephone for that future emergency call, Elaine, an efficient telephone operator, will be there in the knick of time to save our destiny. Class Play 4, Allied Youth 3, 4. A 7949 Senivzm 7949 IEAN M. SCHAEFFER-East Coventry ACADEMIC Good temper is an estate for life This country lass who joined our class in ninth grade arrived from East Coventry. Though we never heard much from lean, she was not always quiet. She was liked by everyone, and that quality of eagerness to help fellow classmates won her an enviable position among us. lean enjoyed sports very much and actively participated in them during gym class. Her familiar bodyguards were Verna and Mary. Quite fond of riding in a special maroon Ford, lean reported no plans for the future, but the driver of that Ford gives us food for thought. Newspaper 3. MARY CHRISTIANA SELLERS-East Coventry ACADEMIC l'm not arguing with you, l'm telling you Since Mary's entrance to Spring City High School she was outstanding in many ways. Though she was one of the tall members of our class, she will be remembered not in terms of stature but breadth of mind. An avid interest in baseball influenced and colored much discussion and many con- versations. Her varied class interests, active school spirit, and co-operation proved that the best things do not always come in small packages. Mary could be counted on at all times for the correct answers in classes, the true notes in band, and for pleasing interpretations in the roles taken in dramatic performances. A keen mind and a ready wit assured us that her journalistic future would glow with successful achievement.

Better known as Abner, our Iames was the most carefree person in the class. His natural ability made satisfactory grades possible without much effort on Iim's part. Always laughing or spinning a yarn of sorts, Abner could be found in the midst of the boys. I-le excelled in the four major sports of our school-football, basketball, baseball, and track. Iim's record in the backfield called for a second look, just as his basketball score did. His shifty speeds labeled him a great success as a second base- man and a sprinter. lim was considered the influential leader among fellow classmates. As far as he knew, and as far as he cared to know, his future was a blank. Yearbook 45 Football 3, 4, Basketball 2, 3, 45 Baseball Z, 3, 45 Track l, 2, 35 Key Club 45 Boys' Varsity Club 3, 4. Nothing was ever too much trouble, no job was ever too difficult for Rod. Though she did not always acquiesce readily, one could be certain she would yield in time. She left no job incompleted. Her fiery temper and quick tongue added that bit of spice to make life free from boredom. Her odd hours were spent serving food to the hungry who patronized the Sanatoga lnn. We wondered if she practiced on the football fans to whom she graciously called, Hot dogs bark here. Because of pressing home duties, she was forced to sacrifice hockey. During those years which she spent as a member of the squad, she acquired a tricky left lunge-the like of which has never been equaled.

RODENBERRY-Spring City SECRETARIAL Eyes that mirror mirth and mischief 'M 7949 MARY E. ROHRBACH-West Vincent ACADEMIC One who plays to win A crack of the bat hitting the ball, cheers of our team, and yells of anxiety from our opponents-Mary had hit another home run for our softball squad. Ace athlete, faithful friend, hard-working student-these traits we all appreciated in Mary. Never a person to be officious nor bossy, she was admired by all underclassmen who marveled at her feats of sportsmanship with wistful envy. As for hobbies-well-we were right back where we started-sports. Roller skating was fit pastime for an active .girl like Mary. That knack of fair play in which her ethical code predominated will sustain her in all future activity. Basketball 3, Softball 2, 3, 4. VIRGINIA DORIS ROOT-Spring City CLERICAL A kind heart and a helping hand Ginny could always be counted on to lend a helping hand wherever it was needed. She never took her studies seriously, but she usually had the required amount of work finished. lf you felt blue or wanted a good laugh, Ginny could cheer you up with a funny joke. Her spare time was either spent at one of the skating rinks or enjoying a good movie. Sewing and cooking were among her hobbies. Her future was still in the hands of fate, but without a doubt the settling down process will fashion her into a housewife. Arts and Crafts 3.

PATRICIA ANNE SELLERS-West Vincent ACADEMIC Each must in virtue strive for to excell It was the fates or some power of foresight which told Pat Sellers she'd better come to Spring City. We never knew how she arrived at the deduc- tion that she was needed to make our number seventy-six. She was called the Spirit, for after all she did come after seventy-five. Many of her inter- ests centered around dramatics cmd the stage. Because of her outstanding personality she was accepted as one of the crowd immediately. Having come from a very large school, she appreciated the friendly atmosphere so characteristic of Spring City. It wasn't long until we learned that Wisconsin produced a genuine character. We hoped her short stay with us was enjoyed and profitable in all respects. Allied Youth 45 Honor Society 3, 4: Mixed Chorus 4. RICHARD L.
