MARIE C. BAUER Academic - Spring City Remember as you go along the road, you never reap a thing but what you sow A push, a shove, a scramble-and then appeared Marie. Though always in haste, she was never in a hurry. Her exaggerated stories were as com- mon as the seven periods a day. This blonde lass possessed a smile that brightened any man's heart. As long as Marie was dancing, she was happyg but this did not monopolize all her free time. An adept seamstress, she was the envy of all her home economics companions.

LEON ELLIS BEARD Industrial Arts - Spring City Ioker that I am, without me the deck is incomplete Mischievous, clown, prankster-these are all adjectives that well described Ellis. It was not uncommon to see him being chased through the halls as a result of some unappreciated prank. Photography, radio, and out-of-town girls furnished his chief sources of entertainment and his main topics of conversation. If in the future your appetite demands some tantalizing piece of pastry or just a loaf of home-made bread, stop at Beard's Bakery and let Ellis take your order.

His jovial attitude con- tributed toward his popularity. Enrolled in the Agriculture course, he took kindly the snide remarks made concerning his future as a farmer. His subtle humor was seldom overlooked. Many, however, were unaware of that bit of artistic ability which he displayed on the dance floor.

IUSTUS BOETTGER Industrial Arts - East Vincent One who observed in silence From the time of his arrival at S.C.H.S., Bud, quiet as he Was, displayed that outstanding, friendly quality. Being an ardent sportsman, he excelled as a hunter and fisherman. He could fling a baseball just.as well as a rod and reel. Bud exhibited his skill when playing with Spring City and his local Ridge team. The Boston Red Sox and Ted Williams never knew what a loyal fan lived within the portals of our high school.

LORETTA MARLENE AMMON Commercial Secretarial - East Vincent A still and quiet conscience To the general amazement of any girls in the Class of '50, Loretta's bywords were, I have no time for boys. Since she was a quiet one, her friendli- ness was displayed by the willingness she showed to undertake anything asked. Helping at the games and assisting the librarian always found a place in her busy day. Regardless of the hard work and long hours ot the profession, it was Loretta's plan to become a hairdresser. Allied Youth 45 Library Club 45 Dancing Club 2. SALLY E. AULD Commercial Secretarial - East Vincent Should Auld's acquaintance be forgot Short and peppy described our Sally. Collecting horses, riding horses, talking horses-just so it was horses-that was her primary interest. She entertained us by displaying at the least provocation her collection of antiques which were unlimited in number. When the 3:15 bell rang, Sally departed for the world of Seven Stars. Here one never lacked efficient service, for trays remained level, soup was never spilled, and food was always hot. Mixed Chorus 3, 45 Newspaper 45 Allied Youth 2, 3, 4, Sr. High Dramatics 3. This is the story of your seniors. BARBARA ANN BACH Commercial Secretarial - Spring City A small stature with a pleasing personality Barbara and baseball were as synonymous as the Major Leagues and Richie Ashburn, her favorite. A care or a worry soon vanished when your paths crossed this personality plus. Possessed with ambition, dependability, and brains, she was constantly tound seeking new horizons. Dramatics, as well as cheerleading, ranked high with Barbara. When hit by Bachie, the fun-bug, recovery was impossible. The business world beckoned, and this capable secretary will follow.

BATH Industrial Arts - East Vincent Always a worry-always a care The Industrial Arts department claimed a worthy student in Ralph. There were few more quiet or more conscientious. He was one of those rare individuals who arrived at school with his work completed and who was genuinely concerned about his day's tasks. His drawing and interest in sports seemed to occupy most ot his non-working hours. Because of his proti- ciency at the drawing board, he chose the work ot a draftsman tor his future. Twelve

CAROLYN ADRIAN BOWMAN Commercial Secretarial - Spring City Merrily, merrily do I live From ct small Virginia town Carolyn brought to a small Pennsylvania town her southern accent. Though small in stature she never lacked energy for leisure moments. When one observed her in a pensive mood, one could be certain her thoughts were centered around that college on the hill. Carolyn's decision to attend a business school was made not on the spur of the moment but was planned with careful deliberation.

GEORGE MICHAEL BURNLEY Academic - West Vincent In me, as yet, ambition has shown no part Bulldog's attraction for the opposite sex never faded, even though his motto was love 'em and leave 'em. George was one of those versatile indi- viduals who overcame the obstacle of living in the country and still played sports. Although he wasn't quite sure whether or not he was going to try to fill his iather's size nines at Sun Oil Company, we were sure he would meet with equal success, no matter what his endeavor.

CASNER Agriculture - Upper Uwchlan Full of ideas, but succeeded in few Contrary to the expression on his face Dave was not serious-not even in school. Being very impatient he could always be found moving from place to place. Fishing, hunting, and basketball preceded all others on the never ending list of entertainments. Possessing a car f?J, he whittled away his time rolling over the roads in search of new excitement, of which he never failed to be in the midst.

CASNER Industrial Arts - East Coventry Casey waltzed-and his band played on Paul was an entertainer at heart and his drums were ever heard putting life into our assembly programs, as well as pep into the band's cadence. His boisterous laughter often penetrated throughout the halls, which sig- nified that Casey was clowning again. We knew that his speedy char- acter would be climaxed by the realization of his great ambition-driving a big car racer. As an alternative he chose a position with some out- standing orchestra.
