BRUCE MURL TIFFANY-Spring City ACADEMIC Truth is the highest thing man can seek With a camera in his hand, On-the-spot-Tiffany traveled to all the foot- ball, basketball, and baseball games, taking pictures for our yearbook. This budding thespian portrayed comedy roles in the junior and senior class plays. As manager and scorekeeper for the basketball team during his sophomore and junior years, Bruce chalked up the winning scores. He came from Royersford to S. C. H. S. at the beginning of his sophomore year. He planned to further his education at Wyomissing Polytech and then become a machinist. We cannot imagine Fearless Flash even as a machinist without his trusty camera which captured for posterity our youthful antics.

TYSON-Spring City SECRETARIAL Though she may be small in size, there is always mischief in her dark eyes There were plenty of leisure moments for Dolly. One wondered what formula she used to acquire them. There was that carefree, mischievous manner, that both perplexed and entertained her friends. She dreamed that someday she would own her own convertible-drivers beware! Dancing and collecting jazz records were the hobbies she enjoyed most. Army was her favorite football team, and she could be found sitting close to the radio whenever a game was being played. This petite one possessed a ward- robe on which all female glances fell with admiration and envy. Her ob- jective was to study secretarial work at a business college. Who knows but what Dolly will capture that unsuspecting office tyrant!

Kenny was the fellow who could start you off on the right beat. From a slow waltz tempo to a hot be-bop-Kenny knew them all. As the Gene Krupa of our high school, he set our toes tapping in time with his drum sticks. Although he did not participate in any sports, band, orchestra, and glee club were among his extracurricular activities. The rest of his spare time was spent in the company of his friends. His future ambition was to join an orchestra. A word to the wise-book Kenny now for that future engagement. Band l, 2, 3, 4, Orchestra 2, 3, 4, Mixed Chorus 3, 4, Rhythm Kids 1, 2, 3, 4. MARIAN LOUISE WEBSTER-East Vincent SECRETARIAL Silence more musical than any song Silence has been responsible for making and keeping friends. This was especially true of Marian. In school she was occupied in studying and reading, which explained why she was always ready with her book reports. Outside of school Marian was chiefly interested in sports, with emphasis on ice-skating and baseball. Listening to music claimed much of her spare time, perhaps this was the reason for Marian's desire to travel West. Although her quietness was an accented characteristic, Marian had a host of friends. Upon graduation she expected to be a private secretary in the business world.

IEANETTE LAURA STIPA-East Vincent ACADEMIC Always happy, never blue, that's leanette through and through One of East Vincent's contributions to the class of '49 was Ieanette. Her ready wit and infectious giggle made her a most welcome student and caused our classes to be quite lively. Playing the piano for the Rhythm Kids and tooting her clarinet in the school band and orchestra were among Stip's accomplishments. Although she did not participate in any sports, it wasn't for lack of school spirit, because she was an ardent rooter. Among her few vices was a quick temper. This was modified by instant retribution and helped in making her a person well worth knowing.

STONE-East Coventry ACADEMIC Stable as quick silver Near the end of our junior year Artie joined us, coming from Philadel- phia Central High School. His quick answers and solutions to difficult trig problems kept his marks in the higher brackets. Even though he was an academic student, the Future Farmers of America found him to be an eager and capable member. When 3:15 rolled around, Artie could be seen hustling home to tend his livestock: one goat, one calf, pigs, and chickens. Artie displayed his acting ability when he portrayed a leading role in the senior class play. Penn State College held Artie's immediate future. After graduation Artie planned to maintain a chicken farm, where he will en- with their beaks up. Society l, 2, 3. 7949 Senivu 94 IOHN L. SYPHERD-East Coventry INDUSTRIAL ARTS He was never a victim of insomnia The teacher's voice broke through the buzz of the classroom: Will the person sitting next to Iohn please wake him? Iohn again was rudely aroused from his dreams to face the grim reality of school. We soon learned not to be fooled by his apparent laziness. Always ambitious, Iohnny found it especially hard to be kept in after school, for he had a part-time job at one of the mills. As class cut-up he made school hours more bearable for his friends and was always welcomed in a group of either sex. Iohn, possessing the talent of relaxing in any situation and even sleeping if the going was tough, will never be a psychiatrists patient. Allied Youth 3, Mechanics Club 3, 4. RAYMOND S. SZYMKIEWICZ-West Vincent INDUSTRIAL ARTS The only quantity quieter than silence We all knew when Ray was aroundg his quiet presence was a wel- comed relief which provided a contrast to his more garrulous companions. Ray was a farmer in all phases of the word. He walked, talked, and looked like a true tiller of the soil. His spare time was spent working on his parents' farm. He was very fond of fishing and trapping, even though he was often disappointed with the catch. Ray was an active shop member and produced some very fine articles. His future pointed toward broad acres, the setting for a tranquil life. deavor to persuade thousands of suicidally inclined chickens to face life l Class Play 4, F. F.

794 Many twins are regarded as half a pair, just like shoes, but no one DOROTHY VIRGINIA WENGER-East Pilzelcmd SECRETARIAL Here is a girl with a heart and smile, Who makes the bubble of life worth while This farmerette ambassador of East Pikeland to Spring City High was often hard to find when she was needed, not because she played hard to get, but because her interests and activities were so varied that she had reason to be in every part of the school. A devotee of correspondence, her letters probably will keep her in close touch with all her high school friends through the future. Dot also was a past master in the culinary art and could sew a fine seam. The musical side of her vivacious personality found expression in band and glee club participation. With her varied interests and many talents, Dorothy's achievements will be successful. Band Z, 3, 4, Mixed Chorus 4, Girls' Chorus 2, 3, Allied Youth 3, 4. BARBARA R. WITT-Spring City ACADEMIC Humor or wit is all I find Someone said he heard Harry Iames practicing in the auditorium. No, it wasn't he, but our own Barbara. Besides playing the trumpet, she played the cello and sang in the glee club, so you can well see what her main interest was. This lass was quite undecided as to the future, but the medical profession seemed to fascinate her. If she chooses this career, her kind feeling for everyone should be an asset. Barbara's humor was appreciated in all the classes while her fantastic themes will long be remembered by her classmates. If you are ever in need of inspiration, you will always be sure to find it in Barbara.

A charming personality in her own right, she was a popular individual of our class. With a last name characteristic of her disposition, she was the originator of many pranks recalled by those involved. Nancy believed that all activities were worthy of a trial, so she participated in many clubs and some sports. Music, popular and classical, was found interesting by her-so interesting that she seriously considered selecting music as a career. Knowing Nancy's imagination and determina- tion, we little doubt that success awaits her in whatever she attempts.

YOUNG-Spring City ACADEMIC Doing what comes naturally If anyone lived up to this quotation quite so profoundly, it was this Young miss. There was nothing she wasn't willing to try at least once. As an accomplished pianist, Edee often tried to jeopardize Bach with be-bop. She will be remembered as the impish Miriam in Dear Ruth. Those hockey laps were too much for Youngie, the managers position beckoned, and she filled it with competence. Guess who volunteered when everyone else couldn't make it-yes-it was Edee. Patience galore with much fun in store described her better than we did before. She was a surprise package that kept us guessing, but what is life without those pleasant surprises!
