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.

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.

LORRAINE NAIOME CHALLIS Commercial Clerical - Spring City Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low- We proclaimed this raven-haired miss the beauty of our class. Looks were not her only asset, for her artistic talent was just as prevalent. The graceful dignity with which she marched was a credit to our band as she carried the American flag. Painting and sketching were two natural activities which Lorraine developed by joining a local art club. With this fine background she had an excellent start on the way to becoming a commercial artist.

CHRISTMAN Academic - East Coventry She is busy all clay through Doing what she shouldn't do Fun and Gertie were synonymous. This characteristic became a part of all her extracurricular activities. As a color guard in the band she popu- larized the slogan, Gertie, get your gun. Her dramatic ability was not limited to the stage, for this budding thespian performed incessantly. Not one to excel in the romantic languages, Gertrude's artistic talent at the piano was quite noteworthy. Whether she pursued a career as an accom- panist or a partner in domestic tranquility remained unsolved.

CONWAY Industrial Arts - Spring City Heres a youth who directed ether waves Mort was a great fan of radio as long as we knew him. When high school days were past, he hoped to become a successful radio and television engineer. Since his marks in S. C. H. S. were commendable, it was expected that he would sail through Columbia Institute of Radio Broadcasting with- out difficulty. Though his sports activities were limited to two years of track, he was a spectator and rooter at most of the other games.

LAWRENCE RAY DAVIS Industrial Arts - Spring City Never a saint, never a devil-just Larry This bundle of energy radiated enough spirit to keep the Class of '50 in line throughout our school days. Few sportsmen could be found to equal the perseverance of Larry-a three-letter man whose slogan was Never f give up even in defeat. Seldom was there to be found such a happy combination of hard work and stimulating humor in one being. Obstacles will be overcome in life, for a spur to success is self confidence-that indeed was his distinctive trait.
